The weekend's world football slate offers nearly unlimited opportunities for bettors, and the paydays can be huge if you combine your favorite picks into a parlay. Before you make any soccer picks or parlays, you really have to see what soccer expert Jim Holliman has to say.

Holliman has been a writer and editor for nearly 25 years and grew up with soccer in his blood. He played competitively through high school and has been following the game closely since the 1970's heyday of the North American Soccer League. His interest has expanded worldwide, and his betting approach is centered on crunching the numbers, but he sees the whole field and relies on his instinct.

Since the 2022 World Cup, Holliman has been profitable across multiple leagues, including the UEFA Champions League and Bundesliga. He is 21-10 -- bringing a profit of $1,147 for $100 bettors -- on his Champions League predictions this season. He nailed a parlay at almost 9-1 just before the break and hit two paying almost 12-1 in 14 weeks of this article in 2022-23.

Now, Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Oct. 21-23 and has found value in four best bets. If you combine these picks into a parlay, you could earn a MASSIVE payout of more than 14-1! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Saturday at 9:30 a.m. ET, so there is plenty of time for you to make your soccer picks.

We can tell you that one pick Holliman loves is Real Madrid -129 to beat Sevilla on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET. Los Blancos are on the road, but they are 8-1-0 in the past nine meetings "I don't see any reason Real would falter," Holliman says. 

Holliman has three other plays in his parlay that would pay well over 14-1, including another plus-money play on a goal total. If you combine these picks into a four-leg parlay, you can cash in HUGE! You ABSOLUTELY need to see the expert's predictions before you lock in any soccer picks or parlays of your own.
