Don't do it, man. Pick a single, and play just that.
Thoughts on this?
France v Switzerland over 2.5
Honduras v Ecuador over 2.5
Bosnia
Germany
£10 returns £85? Any other alternatives? Straight France win?

need something safe for tonight, thinking of Switzerland plus 1 and Honduras +2...seems fairly safe i think!
No point. I've had too many losses this World Cup so don't want to keep on playing, I've lost some money and having been $400 in profit at one point it's just annoying. Crazy accumulator is the only thing I can do now.
Funnily I did the same at Euro 2008 - won some money initially, then lost a singificant amount (back then when I was 19 £100 was much more to me than it is now too) so stuck my final £25 on a 6-game accumulator (I remember it had Croatia against Poland, Turkey against Czech Republic and Netherlands against Romania, all significantly over evens for the last round of games) - won £1400.
I think Switzerland will get the draw but I don't think that's a safe bet. There are no safe bets on these games today. France could quite easily win the game. If you want a safe bet then just go for Argentina tomorrow.
Knowing this World Cup it'll end 3-1 to Iran.
May just stick to goals now, and maybe Benzema or Drmic anytime.
Will be on BTTS for Ecuador and Honduras though, maybe BTTS and over 2.5 goals.

In fairness Iran did look pretty solid and Argentina are nowhere near where they want to be, so an upset in that game wouldn't even be that huge a shock.
If you look at their form it's not that much of a long-shot so I considered the same, but from what you saw of Honduras can you really say that you're confident of them scoring a goal here? They look like the worst team in the tournament.
Given how results have gone I've done a £1 double of Switzerland win BTTS and Honduras win BTTS 71/1.
Was on Italy over 56.5 possession. Nailed it. Was shitting it though as the app I was following the game on had the possession as 55-45, had written the bet off, then checked livescores.co.uk just for shits and giggs and it was 58-42 there. Sweet.
Going for France under 54.5 possesion here. Swiss have some tidy midfielders here, and I think they will be instructed to play conservatively, not many risks. Wouldn't suprise me if it ends 50-50 possession and a 0-0 score line.

Had a few bets on Italy as I was that confident they'd win even when they went behind. Shows what I know.
They've messed up my other bets for tonight too

Not sure France will win by two clear goals, or Ecuador by 3 goals!
There's no such thing as a dead cert though, need some value and that double seems fairly decent...
Debuchy always looks like a yellow card waiting to happen for me and with Rodriguez being one of their key threats and Valbuena tucking inside so often I couldn't resist sticking a bit of money on him at 4.1. Similarly Inler as the holding midfielder is always liable to give away one silly foul in a dangerous position. Sissoko and Matuidi aren't great technicians but they will commit the opposition midfielders and force them to make last-ditch tackles, and once Sissoko inevitably gets the hook I can see the extra creative midfielder coming on and causing some problems for the Swiss midfield.
If you bet on Switzerland + 1, you're betting on Switzerland to win - just with a one goal head start. If France win 1-0 the bet loses. I could easily see a 1 goal win for France.

Where is Debuchy at 4.1?
True, +2 is much safer... I've a double still to go as well, two draws in the next two matches.
Giroud and Sissoko in should help you there. Pogba a better passer and less direct than Sissoko and they`ll hit it at Giroud and look for knockdowns. Also, with Benzema higher up on the left than Griezmann, less obvious, nearby wide options in possession for Evra and the CM`s.
Also, Seforovic is up front for the Swiss and he`s a false 9 type who comes to the ball whereas Drmic, who normally starts, is more of a young Michael Owen type, apparently.
So, I think you`ve got a great bet here.
The yellow cards market on Betfair fluctuates so much in the last 20 minutes or so. He's dropped down to 3.6 now. Turns out I got on him at 4.2!

He was showing at almost evens on oddschecker! Got Evra on at literally the last second.
On this from earlier. Decent bit of money on him it seems...hes 3.6 at the moment.
Also did Sissoko @ 4/1 Behrami 14/5 and Lichtsteiner @4/1 anytime yellows
Valbuena @6/1 to score anytime
France from behind 11/1
I warned y'all on this Italy-1 shizzle.
Just gone with France to win the 11th-20th minute part, dunno why. Seem to be hitting a lot of these 10 minute spurt bets.

Went for two doubles,
Swiss & Honduras both +2, small returns on that but least its something back at least
Also have two draws - France / Swiss & Honduras / Ecuador

rofl. Another winner. 10 minute margins are the future of bets, I'm telling ya.
For feck sake!!!!!!!! 
Over 2.5 is the way forward, looking good already here.
Got a treble of under 2.5 in Italy Costa Rica, France to win and no in BTTS in the Honduras Ecuador game. Looking decent so far.
There's no fn way anyone can make a profit on this WC, Impossible!!!
Im done!!
Im done!!
The favourites are winning though. It's not been too hard if you have a knowledge of the teams players and style of play.
Selection 1 sorted.
My downfall has been betting on results. Since sticking to over 1.5, 2.5, BTTS and small handicaps I've done a lot better
There's been about 5 upsets in the last couple of days I don't know how you can say that.
Exactly, what the feck is he smoking?
There is no world cup in history I can recall with as many upsets as this...... absolutely EVERY single market I bet on...Im fecked over! I've bet on over 2.5, I've used Handicaps, I've done straight doubles, trebles & Accumulators......
I've had 2 or 3 wins from lumping on in desperation in the last ten mins of matches basically to recoup losses...
Chile were massively overpriced, they've beaten Spain before. Mexico have an excellent record against a Brazil side who were fortunate to beat Croatia. Japan lack a cutting edge and Greece are strong defensively. Uruguay are simply better than England. Only real shock is Costa Rica in the last few days.
Have to agree with this.
Utter, complete and utter tripe!!!
There is absolutely no way you or anyone could call all them pre match...
The México and Japan games could have gone either way so a draw wasn't unlikely in any way, Chile looked the better team before the game, Uruguay were always the better team and Costa Rica had already shown they were capable of an upset and had more quality than people realised. He's absolutely right. There have been upsets but if you look at the first two rounds of any World Cup that's always the case.
Which part is tripe? How much of the teams have you watched consistantly before this tournament?
I think what people should remember is that bookies odds don't reflect how likely a team is to win. England have been favourites for their first two games simply because English people lump on them
You could probably go back and find people who were saying similar things pre match.
