When Liverpool and Aston Villa faced for a big match, we had good information that the Red would roll in the match. Liverpool often gives strong efforts against inferior competition, and the numbers said that they should continue this trend with Aston Villa.

We did not want to just give out Liverpool as a straight winner because there was more value in the Asian handicap.

Half of the stake for our bettors was lost, and half of it was returned, since the -1 portion of the bet was a push. This was a solid pick that we felt ...
