Gone for a risky over 4.5 goals for Japan v Haiti. On their day, Japan can score loads of goals especially at home. Hopefully Haiti can sneak a goal or 2 to boost the tally

Solid 24% return there on Iceland and Serbia.

I took a solid 100% return on my acca (would've been more but I cashed out...)

Had Italy, Serbia, Iceland, Macedonia, Spain and Reggiana in an acca for 2.96, it was 0-0 in Serbia, Italy and Spain with 20 odd minutes left to go, and they all scored within about 3 minutes of each other so I cashed out...withdrew my original stake, and popped the profit on another acca for tonight...

Belgium, France, Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria and Portugal @ 3.85, which I think is good value as they're all odds on to win against weaker opposition...Portugal the only real worry, but I think they need to win to qualify outright tonight, and Ronaldo will hopefully be in beast mode to avoid a play off...

I almost got on that too but happy I did not in the end, it went down to the wire in Serbia game and I'd have been absolutely shaking.

They scored in the 74th minute and had a huge press, that’s how it often goes with big favorites. 10-0 in corners. Also good opportunities to hedge the bet with an X2 when Iceland was leading comfortably. 74th minute is not down to the wire either.... ten more minutes and I would have been shaking too
 
Not much value left in tonight's matches. A goal in both halves of the Belgium - Cyprus, Greece - Gibraltar and France - Belarus games will give you an even money return though. Looks pretty solid to me.

Personally I wouldn't have been happy to wait 74 minutes for a 1.14 bet to get a goal, especially as Georgia were not particularly destroyed by them before that and first half was close stats wise. No way you would even get your stake back after hedging it after Iceland goal.

Well done! I completely fecked that up, and went for a Japan (easy) win.

Who did lead 2-0!

The game is 90 minutes and the result is all that counts.

Very much like the look of Watford/draw double chance this weekend. Arsenal got a few injuries and no way they should be so short.

Of course but I can have a subjective opinion that if I bet high stake on a 1.14 bet it's not good if I have to wait a very long time before it looks likely to win. It's just me. If I take extremely low odds I want it to be easy otherwise it's poor value.

Really surprised they ended up drawing 3-3, especially with a comfortable 2-0 lead after 17 minutes! Basically placed all my winnings from last night on this match. This winning streak will probably end soon so I'm taking a short break until I see another match worth punting on
 
Gone for Sweden win/draw double chance and Uruguay to win. About 1.2/1 but 'should' come in...:nervous:

Denmark U-21 -0.5 AH @1.85

Winner. Small stake Albania u21 to score both halves at 8/1, but mainly waiting for them to score to hit odds close to evens, currently 1/2. Started strongly.

Edit - 50 mins, price above evens but think I'm going to swerve it, seem to have taken their foot off the gas. On over 1 FHG at Kilmarnock u20 instead, slightly above evens.

Still fecking internationals. Latvia vs Andorra and Hungary vs Faroe Islands both u2.5 goals @3.06
 
Staying away from low odds today, I never like them to include handicaps - as teams can slow down once in the lead. Belgium playing a B-team, France not gelling properly, although both play crap teams.

Going for Portugal - Switzerland over 10.5 corners to have something to follow on Livescore. Should be the same as Ukraine - Croatia yesterday. Two quality teams where one of them will always having to attack during 90 minutes no matter the result.
 
I have gone for Portugal or draw, Netherlands or draw, Belgium, France -1.5, Greece -3.5 and Bulgaria or draw. Hope it doesn't go south. Got almost 2/1.

Really didn't like the Greece -3.5. They got a few players missing and are generally not very good at scoring goals. But I hope they do it for your sake!

Already regret the corners, these are two teams that don’t give a shit. Swizz happy to defend, Portugal know they will win any playoff game regardless.

They are 4-0 up so fine but it's France this time and they were 2-0 ahead.
 
I put money on Belgium scoring the 4th goal when Lukaku got on, they scored right after. I then put the profits on them scoring the 5th - and then Livescore lights up saying 5-0.... then a correction ten seconds later. Anyone knows what happened? Fecking Livescore proclaiming goals when it doesn’t exist, it’s like getting a disallowed goal on FM.

Offside on our boy Lukaku, at least hope it was a clear one. Gutted by the Livescore-flash and then correction :(
 
Have an acca for a potential 100 euros with only three games left - Brazil - Chile over 1.5 and wins for Argentina and Uruguay. Currently pondering whether to close the bet for half the money.

Not really sure about Argentina's ability to actually win a fecking game.

I feel sick now. fecking France.
 
Groth to beat Rubin @2.20. Rubin has been absolute shite for the past month or so and his physical condition is still far from optimal.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Rubin win the first set and then completely crumble.
 
Small stake on Panama to win (confident) & Honduras DC (coin flip) @ 2.25
