World Cup Betting Thread

[Golden Nugget]

Don't worry. Portugal and England probably won't go through and I won't be surprised to see Mexico pip Croatia to 2nd either.

The Ronaldo injury news wasn't out when I made the bet - I assumed that a 70-80% Ronaldo would crush Ghana and USA.
Croatia - I didn't have much doubts about them beating Mexico (although this was before the Brazil-Mexico game) - that said, I still think the Croats will go through.
England was my real 'bet' - I didn't rate this Suarez-less Uruguay, and I don' think Costa Rica have it in them.
Spain was one that I didn't really doubt. I was so wrong.

 

[devil in me]

Rooney wincast tonight. With all that's been said about him this week he is bound to score and I think England will win relatively comfortably.

 

[Marty1968]

My Predictions from now on are in this order:

Brazil/Croatia
Holland/Chile
Colombia/Ivory Coast
Italy/England
France/Switzerland
Argentina/Bosnia
Germany/USA
Belgium/ Russia or South Korea (can't pick this one).

England v Colombia in the 2nd Round. Brazil to lose to Chile in the 2nd round.

col v ivory coast ovr 2.5
eng v uru btts
japan

7/1

 

[iBoss]

Over 2.5 in the Colombia game at evens is calling me but I'm still not sure. Has everyone done this exact bet? That usually is a bad sign

 

[Bob Loblaw]

I think it'll be overs too, just went for a straight single on Colombia to win though.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Even though I'm backing Colombia, Bony to score 2 was too tempting at 22/1. Just a cheeky £1.

 

[Sarni]

Colombia to beat Ivory Coast @ 2.1 for $15.

Im starting to sweat it on this already, especially after a miss like Guiterriez just had

It's up to 12/5 now. I was gonna try in game but I think I'll leave it now. At least I can watch the game stress free!

[Ady87]

Italy v Costa Rica
Japan v Greece
England v Uruguay
Germany v Ghana
Argentina -1 v Iran
Bosnia v Nigeria


£10 returns £235.

"Last Bet" for me.

 

[Berbaclass]

£10 on 5 or more white line free kicks in Colombia-IvoryCoast. 4/1. Currently 3...

Edit: 4 now!

 

[Berbaclass]

Bet victor offering 7/2 on Suarez yellow or red card

Might have to have that

Edit: Its gone now I was 30 mins late

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Over came. Never doubt.

Such a "goal rich" World Cup.

 

[Berbaclass]

One (white line) free kick for £50 come on!

 

[Carl]

Over 2.5 goals boys. Keep the faith

 

[iBoss]

Fair play. Went as high as 4/1 at one point I think.

 

[Cantonarightboot]

Over 2.5 goals boys. Keep the faith

was a bit nervy there for while, thought it was going to be one of those frustrating 0-0 games!

Part 1 of my treble is in thank god!

 

[Cantonarightboot]

One (white line) free kick for £50 come on!

Here ya go!

 

[Berbaclass]

Yes there's the 5th

 

[Berbaclass]

Won £90 yesterday

£50 today with 3 bets still to come. Good start!

 

[Cantonarightboot]

Won £90 yesterday

£50 today with 3 bests still to come. Good start!

well done

€50 myself yesterday and so far so good today, won't know until end of the Japan game for the rest... taking it easy on the bets today. I'll throw few more on tomorrow

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Hold on Colombia

 

[Carl]

was a bit nervy there for while, thought it was going to be one of those frustrating 0-0 games!

Part 1 of my treble is in thank god!

I had it in 2 bets so it would have really screwed me over.

Had it as part of a treble and also as a bet on it's own to activate a free bet.

aye, just the one bet for me today... done a treble

over 2.5 goals in that game and in England match and a Japan win, got it at 9/1!

 

[Jagga7]

Was shitting my self at the end I was sure Colombia were going to concede another. Just need England to win now!

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Put a treble - Colombia to win, England win HT/FT and Japan/Greece draw

 

[walsh]

Plenty of goals in the England game please.

 

[Berbaclass]

Not a great Uruguay team that. England win, anything other and i'll be very surprised!

 

[Sarni]

Colombia to beat Ivory Coast @ 2.1 for $15.

Well in this time. Cashed it an ticked a $14 profit.

Now dithering on England. Now I actually think they are going to win so I'm willing to bet on them rather than lay them.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

I think it'll be overs too, just went for a straight single on Colombia to win though.

Should've went for the more ambitious Colombia win and over 2.5 bet.

Ah well, still £50 profit.

 

[coolredwine]

Cheeky bet on Suarez/Rooney to score anytime?

 

[Cantonarightboot]

Mulling that over myself Cool... Rooney to finally break his WC drought? Suarez fit enough?

 

[Sarni]

All right.

England to beat Uruguay @ Evens for $29.

Let's roll.

 

[Decotron]

All over Gerard yellow card at 9/2.
Red Card 17/5
England two yellow cards or more @4/5
Rooney anytime 2/1

 

[Berbaclass]

Coral have given a me £5 free bet.

Stuck it on Honda to score and Japan to win @ 4.5/1

 

[tinfish]

All right.

England to beat Uruguay @ Evens for $29.

Let's roll.

No, use paddy power. They are offering 6/1 odds on an England win (£10 max stake).

 

[coolredwine]

Mulling that over myself Cool... Rooney to finally break his WC drought? Suarez fit enough?

10 games without a goal. Rooney is due one. Plus Roy has confirmed Rooney will be playing in the middle. So that will give him more of a chance to score. Suarez is just a random punt!

 

[Sarni]

No, use paddy power. They are offering 6/1 odds on an England win (£10 max stake).

I can't use Paddy Power from Poland.

What's the point of 6/1 for them? They could lose money (albeit not much given the stake).
