The overall goal in gambling is to make progress with your bankroll. Whether it be in slow increments or sometime you catch a it score, the goal stays the same.
This edition of Bookie Busters brings us some Champions league opportunities and some MLS games. Thursday nights NFL match up leaves something to be desired, but in a gambling sense, it might create value.
Good Luck!

The rookie's second hit of the game came off Orion Kerkering (5-3) and gave the Astros their fourth straight win.
Brandon Marsh tied the game on a sacrifice fly in the top of the inning to end the Phillies' 26-inning scoreless streak.
The Astros took a 1-0 lead on Yainer Diaz’s RBI single in the second inning. They only managed three more hits off Phillies starter Christopher Sanchez, who struck out 11 with zero walks over six innings. Sanchez has not issued a walk in three straight starts.
Hunter Brown lowered his league best ERA to 1.74 by scattering three singles over seven shutout innings, with nine strikeouts. He did not allow a runner to reach second base.
