The winnings tax is an actual thing in sports betting and might be more outstanding in European football than in every other sport.
With most races already decided by the top of the season in Europe’s biggest leagues, there are many teams which can be “on the beach” as we head downhill.
One team that matches the “beach” narrative is Barcelona.
Barcelona vs. Barcelona prediction Real Valladolid
(4 p.m. ET. ESPN+)
The Catalan giants have already won the La Liga title and face the prospect of three meaningless matches between now and June 4 before the top of the season.
One such match will happen on Tuesday afternoon when Barca travel to Real Valladolid.
While Barcelona don’t have anything left to achieve this season, Valladolid has every part to play for.
The White and Violets are currently within the relegation spot, but are tied on points with Seventeenth-placed Getafe, who’ve a greater goal difference.
It is a must for Valladolid at home, even when it means beating Barcelona.
But simply because one team has their backs to the wall while the opposite is on the beach does not imply it’s certain that the more desperate team will win.

The truth is, the betting market often overestimates situations just like the one we are going to see on Tuesday at Estadio Jose Zorrilla.
Regardless of the stakes, Barcelona are way higher than Valladolid, and being crowned +110 champions soon to be anointed seems like a little bit of a present.
