When's the draw for the play-offs for the WC qualifiers? Could be some interesting matches there.

Going aggressively for Iceland and Serbia tonight, low odds and high stake. Strength and 100% motivation to win against two poor teams.
Yup, agree, seems like a solid enough bet.
All in for Colombia u17...-2.5 against the mighty India...should be easy game...
Gone for over 2.5 for Finland v Turkey. Both teams have nothing to play for (except pride) so hopefully it will be a fairly open game
Over 9 corners for Ukraine - Croatia looks decent, where the spread probably should have been at 10 or 10.5 corners. 1.86 (I use decimals here up north). A game bound to be full of action - as Ukraine needs to win. It’s win or bust for them, Croatia just needs a draw. If Croatia score, Ukraine will go crazy. If Ukraine score first, Croatia will go mental. Either way, should be a good chance for a few corners - especially in the second half if/when one of the teams have scored.
The winner gets playoff, the loser gets nothing. Croatia only need a draw

Who are the big winners in this thread? Wondering if I should be shadowing someone's bets. 
I'll probably take FH -1 asian. Humidity a huge factor in these games, second half Colombia will tire somewhat.
For a whopping odds of 1.21...
1.24 at Paddy. 24% interest rate in a few hours. Solid. I'd rather take that on than a silly acca with 20 selections.
My bookie gives me 1.265!
(it also takes 5% of any stake, plus the state takes 10% of any possible winning)
Btw, any streams for U17 kids, or live match stats at least? Like at bet365 in-play, but for some reason, they ignore this World Cup.

Better to take Spain than Iceland..

Well it's not me...
Could be, but there are certain factors. Spain are through, they can/will rest players, motivation is zero and they play away - which is always something else. They wouldn’t give a damn (well some would) if they lead 1-0 and concede at the end. Spain could also win 7-0 tonight, but at least wait for the line-up before throwing anything at it. Israel, or any other minnow, will raide their game like crazy.
Iceland have great motivation and play a team with 1 point in total this qualification round. They will not stop trying to score and finish the game off.
That being said - I just jinxed the shit out of myself and will wait for the honors after the game
Dear god Columbia.
Edit; well played Columbia. Was on them to get 2

Will see if this is worth backing in-play, looks good though.
On this paying 3/1. Will post anything that I'm confident with in-play later too.
Serbia RT5 Corners
Over 7 Corners - Ukraine v Croatia
Over 0.5 FHG - Albania v Italy
Universidad de Chile +0.5 AH

Wouldn't be surprised to see Italy let you down!
It's the selection with the highest odds (1/2). Was originally going to take Italy just to score in 1st half at 4/5 but played it a bit safer. Italy have seen 10 FHG in their 4 away games. I'm banking on Italy going for it (need the win to confirm a seeded play-off spot) against an Albanian side with nothing to play for but pride, hopefully bag a goal early on.

Do they? I thought FIFA qoefficient comes into play. I would prefer this though, more fair!
It does, but oerhaps Italy need to win to boost their ranking? That was the case with Nirthern Ireland last night.
Italy are in for sure. Greece, Slovakia and Northern Ireland are already behind them, plus big chance for 2-3 more countries more.
Ranking boost? Maybe, but would one game matter...?

Croatia is probably off even with a draw. Unless their draw is 3-3 and Wales for instance 1-1.
Not sure what happens if it's 2-2 and 1-1. Drawing of lots? EDIT: Ah, FPP.
1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) Fair play points; 5) Drawing of lots.
Bah. Over 9.5 corners + over 5.5 cards + Ukraine win @ 9.7. All same match, Ukraine - Croatia.
And in-play, Iceland and Serbia first to score in first half @ 1.97.

Yeah from what I've read in the Italian press it makes it seem like they need to win to confirm their standing, otherwise they risk being overtaken.
Thrilling results so far.
Where are the fecking goals?!
30 minutes gone and 0 goals in 9 matches.
Absolute shite. Have over 1.5 goals in multiple games and it seems like it's already hopeless.
I just need one for Spain. 0-0 would do fine for me in Welsh and Ukraine games. I ahve Welsh and Ukraine as DC.
cheers once again, managed to catch it today
crap odds on England(5,50) but still, better then nothing 7 corners in Ukraine - Croatia at HT. Looks very good, always nice when you have a couple of them within the first minute
Buxton to score in the 2nd half worth keeping an eye on. I'm already on BTTS at 13/8 but if Buxton start 2nd half well then worth having a look at their odds to score, anything 6/4 and over could be backable.
Well, feck you too, Serbia.
What a shite day to play overs. Absolutely hopeless.
Need two goals in the Ukraine and Wales games, but the chances are close to zero. Watched the first half of the Wales - Ireland game and the quality of football was something you'd see in the Conference.

Serbia and Spain parlay worth it?
Serbia 
Really?
Really?Only needed one more goal in the Wales - Ireland game for 350 euros. Sickening.
I got on over 11 corners at HT at 1/2. They got to that amount by 58 minutes then took injury time to get the twelfth, I was ready to rage
nice shout though, cheersWas on unders for that . Two crap teams !
