The weekend's world football slate offers plenty of other options 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 have to see what soccer expert Jim Holliman has to say.

Holliman has been a writer and editor for more than 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 is 150-144-1 on his soccer picks and has been profitable across multiple leagues, including the UEFA Champions League and German Bundesliga. He is on a 15-9 run on picks in 2024 after nailing his 8-1 four-leg parlay last week and is 25-15 (+717) on the 2023-24 Champions League. Holliman has hit five four-leg parlays in 32 weeks of this article.

Now, Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Feb. 10-12 and has found value in four best bets. If you combine these picks into a parlay, you could earn a payout of almost 10-1! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Saturday at 9:30 a.m. ET, so you have plenty of time to make your soccer picks.
