hertha

Las Vegas - Don't know much about Russian ping pong. Don't know much about soccer in Belarus. And don't know much about baseball in South Korea. And NO ONE is getting me to open my wallet for any of the NBA 2K Sim games. But, do know and have followed the German Bundesliga for the last 10 years, and feel very comfortable throwing down. How comfortable? Had a sweet BEST BET winner this past Monday when we pushed all our chips in on Bayer Leverkusen and they destroyed Werder Bremen with an easy breezy 4-1 victory.

Looking at Hertha Berlin (+$130) hosting 1.FC Union Berlin (+$210) at 2:30 PM this afternoon. This is the Berlin Derby, which, for newbie soccer fans simply means two teams in the same city playing each other. These two intracity rivals met back in November, which seems like years ago, and Union posted a 1-0 W on its home pitch. So, revenge is the first order of business. Also, there have been changes for Hertha since the lockdown. Starting at the top, with a new manager, Bruno Labbadia, who led The Old Lady, yea they've been around since 1892, to a 3-0 away bagel win against Hoffenheim in the first game back. Union lost its re-opener, 2-0 to league leader Bayern Munich. Hertha (31) and Union (30) are just one point apart in the standings, and this time, there will be NO flares thrown on to the pitch, which happened at Union, because they AIN'T gonna have any fans. So, how to bet? We'll drop a full Benjamin on Hertha to win, putting up $100 to win back $130, and also drop a Benjamin on the draw at $100 to win back $235.
