Mr. Sharp is coming off a superb day on tuesday; Winning 2 Full Plays and 1 Half Play, while Losing NONE. He really made up for his Tough Loss on Monday. Mr. Sharp's Strong Play record is now 8-3. He was brilliant in his analysis of Tuesday's matches. Ipswich/Sheffield went over the total by double. Sunderland scored 3 2nd half goals to win 3-1. And what could be his best moment, Crewe Alexandra finished in a 2-2 draw thus reconfirming the value Mr. Sharp shared with the +0.5 at home. What is even more impressive is the steam that followed Mr. Sharps plays for Tuesday. Mr. Sharp shared his plays with us late Monday afternoon. The steam that followed was unbelievable. The OVER 2.5 -121 became OVER 2.5 and 3 -126. Sunderland -0.5 became -0.5 and -1. He has 2 Plays for Wednesday.

The Play: Derby County -0.5 -111
Mr. Sharp likes the home team here. Derby County has not lost in its last 7 Matches and just once in their last 9. Brighton has just 1 win in their last 5 matches. The home team should win this game.

Thanks to Mr.Sharp for these picks. Both these matches are in the English Championship league (one below the top division). Mr.Sharp has already proven in my eyes that he knows the teams and abilities well from this league.
I read an article on soccer betting and it said it is often better to study a lower league in great detail and bet in that league as the bookies don't follow these leagues as closely. In the big leagues where the majority of money is bet such as champions league, EPL, La Liga and SerieA the bookies prices are usually quite acurate due to the large volumes bet on the games.
Mr.Sharp appears to be sucessfully using this strategy of betting outside the top leagues and he seems to know more on the leagues than most bookies who apparently don't pay as much attention to these leagues due to lower volumes.
He has already shown with the large steam moves that he can identify value in a bet. Even if the odd bet goes down playing these value plays will be profitable over a long period of time thanks to the handicapping skills of Mr.Sharp.
My advice to anyone hesitating on these bets is to follow Mr.Sharp.

Kruser6,
Yes you are correct. A -0.5 bet and a moneyline bet are the same. However it is quite common to see a difference in price between the two lines. Some books let you parlay one of the lines and not the other which is sometimes why a difference occurs.
The majority of square soccer bettors are quite unsophisticated and have no clue about handicap lines and will therefore pick the line with less value (usually money line) due to it being more familiar.
It is great to see that the people here are betting more sophisticated lines than most European soccer bettors.
Of course they don't have the advantage of Mr.Sharp though.

Yes good point from MadCapper. If a line is written as 0, -0.5 this is very different from -0.5. You effectively have two bets one at a handicap of 0 and one at a handicap of -0.5. These lines are sometimes written as -0.25. There are also other higher so called quarter asian handicaps. These lines often catch out new bettors to soccer.
As an example I have also bet Nottingham Forest "-0.5 and -1" -105 at Pinnacle for tomorrow's match. This effectively means I have 2 bets. One at -0.5 and one at -1. My stake is split evenly between both lines.
Nottingham is at home to Rotherham who is off the pace in this division. Nottingham is also struggling in the league but I believe them to be better than Rotherham. My only concern is Nottingham can sometimes struggle to score goals but I figure Rotherham has a bad defense so I have bet Nottingham.
