Might go with this! Not sure Portugal will score though.. Fingers crossed Ronaldo is fit.

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

  • Portugal have only won three of their 17 previous internationals against Germany (D5, L9).
  • The Germans have won their last three meetings - including the third place play-off match at the 2006 World Cup, which ended 3-1 following a Bastian Schweinsteiger brace and a Petit own goal for the Germans.
  • Germany have beaten Portugal at three of the last four major tournaments: the 2006 World Cup, Euro 2008 and Euro 2012.
Germany

  • Germany's will become the first team to play 100 World Cup matches on Monday.
  • Miroslav Klose currently has 14 World Cup goals - only Brazilian star Ronaldo has more (15).
  • Germany have won their opening match in every World Cup since 1990. In no fewer than four of those six matches, they scored at least four goals, beating Yugoslavia 4-1 in 1990, Saudi Arabia 8-0 in 2002, Costa Rica 4-2 in 2006 and Australia 4-0 four years ago.
  • Germany have only lost one of their last 18 games in the group stages of the World Cup - 0-1 against Serbia on 18 June 2010.
  • They have opened their last six World Cups with a victory; the last time they failed to win their opening game was back in 1986, when they drew 1-1 with Uruguay.
  • Germany scored more goals than any other team in the 2014 European World Cup qualifiers (36).
Portugal

  • Portugal have lost their two games in the World Cup against their opponents in Group G - USA in 2002 and Germany in 2006.
  • Joao Moutinho delivered more assists than any other player in European World Cup qualifiers (10).
  • In the group round of the last two World Cups, Portugal conceded just once in six matches (Jose Fonseca for Mexico in 2006).
  • Cristiano Ronaldo is aiming to become the first player since Jurgen Klinsmann to score in six successive major tournaments having previous scored at least one goal at the European championships of 2004, 2008 and 2012, plus the 2006 and 2010 World Cup finals.
 
A small sum on Argentina to win and over 2.5 goals @1.80
 
Well I didn't expect this, had Argentina to be 1-0 up at half time and 3-1 full time. Come on, just one more!
 
Meh, won £75 and lost £50 on the Argentina game. Needed one more Bosnia corner to turn the £50 loss into a £180 win. Won the £75 on Argentina to win BTTS.

Probably the only person on here that's been doing crap since the tournament started, had built up a good buffer from the pre-World Cup friendlies but since a decent win on day 1 it's gone pretty rubbish for me.
 
had $200 on argentina and france, paid $360 so a neat profit. Had another 20 on Swiss,France,Argentina which paid 65ish so made back some of the money lost on spain and Uruguay. Sitting on a little more than I started off with so its not too bad.

also had another $20 on Argentina to win by 2 or more which would have netted $90ish but the bosnia goal fecked that up (Stupid Romero)

Cant decide on todays games, prolly gonna bet little.

Maybe $20 on Germany+Nigeria+Ghana (9/1) but I see a draw today, all the games look close so might go all 3 under 2.5 goals (11/2)

Anyone got anything else to go on?
 
Uruguay killed me the other day so only did two yesterday that nearly paid off. Benzema hat trick at 10/1. And Benzema to score first and 3-0 at 20/1. That got me back in the game so probably use that dosh on less mad bets today.... gradual increase hopefully.

I put that on but for less cuz yeah, I see a draw coming up in one of them. Might to a draw-no-bet accumulator.... think you get it at a little over 3-1.

I assume when you put draw no bet in accumulator, you still get something for the games which end up not being a draw?

for eg. if I put $20 acc on draw no bet on all 3, and if Germany-Portugal draw, do I get $20 back or do I get $20x2/3x(Ghana)xNigeria.

Dont really know how draw no bet works on accumulator :(

A draw in any game voids just that part of the bet, so yeah, you'll still earn off the other two.
 
@CrashDavis cheers for that.

Yeh one more goal from argentina or a clean sheet would have done good by me.

Might also go BTTS(3/2) and ronaldo to score at any time(2/1) as seperate small bets.
 
Put £10 on 2-1 Argentina at 8/1, so that was a nice little win. If only Drmic had scored I could have added another £70 to that :(

Think overall I'm a little bit in profit, need to make the most of it now before the groups are over and it becomes harder to earn!

Gone for Germany, Nigeria and USA today, £6 at around 12/1.
 
Belgium, Brazil and Russia to win tomorrow is at just over 4/1. Any takers?

Lost out on two bets by 2 goals yesterday; I had the Argentina one above narrowly miss out and also had a treble of Switzerland to win / France to win by 4 or more goals / Messi to score and Argentina to win, France should of scored 4 in that match!

Seems like a very good bet that, can't see Russia or Belgium slipping up and Brazil should be in even better form against Mexico.
 
I had £20 on Benzema and Messi first goalscorer double last night, £300 return, first win of the tournament!
 
Portugal v Germany
Btts and over 2.5 is 21/20
I'm all over it, it's a cert if Portugal score first and lay back for the counter..
 
Is anyone not making a killing this World Cup? :lol:

Been brilliant for us gamblers so far.

I've been making profits, but I've always made stupid bets that take me back to where I started with. I think I'm £50 up on the World Cup, which I'm of course chuffed about as profit is profit. But I had an excellent start yesterday with the Swiss-Ecuador game, and then I did well in the France-Honduras game and then I put a decent amount on Aguero to score anytime and Dzeko to score anytime and it cancels out my good work previously.

Feel I need to change something somehow.


For example today, I feel today will be hard. Not sure whether to back BTTS or Germany to win or over 2.5 goals at all. I feel it'll be a dodgy game.
