Overall tournament record: 6-11, -3.9 units

What an exciting time for soccer fans and bettors as we get to watch all the fun Euro and Copa América action on FOX and the FOX Sports app for the next month.

As for gambling on these matches, I'll give you my best bets throughout the tournament. Basically, if I see an edge, and I'm betting on it, I'll share it. I want us all to win!

I believe in transparency, so I'll be sharing my tournament best bets record over the next several weeks.

Remember, only bet what you are comfortable with! So let's go ahead and dive into the fun Saturday slate.

Belgium (Euro 2024) 
Venezuela (Copa América)

Belgium is in a must-win spot against Romania after missing numerous opportunities to score vs. Slovakia in the opener. While Romania will be quite content to play for a draw after a 3-0 win over Ukraine, I’d be shocked if Belgium didn’t find a way to score at least once to walk away with a win. 

Ecuador is the team to beat in the group and Venezuela is a very defensive-minded team. If it can get out of here 1-1, it would be ecstatic. 

I feel very good about both of these plays coming in, but if you would rather play them as separate bets, go for it. 

PARLAY PICK: Belgium to win/ Venezuela team total Under 1.5 (-132) — 2 unit play
