1u play

West Ham v Brighton. West Ham DNB. -130. 2:30pm ET. EPL. *Favorite Play of the Day*

- Score Prediction. 2-1 West Ham / 2-2 Draw / 1-0 West Ham

*Thoughts*

Okay I mean this is Brighton. If you want to take BTTS + Over 2.5 goals here I wouldn't be upset in the slightest. BTTS has hit in 18/19 league matches for Brighton, my biggest concern in West Ham at home is a bit chippier with a 56% hit rate at home. Footystats.org has West Ham as the 4th best home-field advantage team in the league. Both teams are coming off big wins, Brighton smacking Spurs 4-2 and West HAm beating Arsenal 2-0 so both teams have plenty of momentum, but I'm taking this because of West Ham home form, current form, and the fact that I can get a safety net with DNB for a team that's beat their opponents 7-0 in their last three league matches.

Explanation

I desperately wanted to take Getafe DNB here, but for some reason that line is -160 on MGM, which is a bit too much juice for me, so I'm doing a new type of bet I haven't really done before. I'm splitting a full unit and going half on the Getafe ML and half on the draw. If either of those outcomes happen - we get profit in this match. These are two of the most draw heavy clubs in Spain with both teams having 8 draws in their opening 18 matches. Getafe have been a fortress picking up only 1 loss in their last 12 matches in league play, and Rayo is a team who is great at home normally but iffy on the road, and iffy in recent form.

My goal this year is to get out of my comfort zone a bit and expand my betting plethora, so when you see me try new stuff like this know that there's a reason! If you want to do each bet for 1u I don't hate that either - just easy into new bets this year!
