World Cup Betting Thread

Tomorrow looks a good day to me. Said I wasn't going to bet anymore and just sit back and enjoy it but this is tempting me:

Argentina -2
Germany win and over 2.5 goals
Bosnia win
Belgium win (Sunday)

Pays 14/1ish.
 
Right, that's the tricky part out of the way. Go Ecuador.


And there - is my BTTS :D Stuck £20 on that. Was fairly confident that these sides, with shocking defending, would both concede.
 
Went big enough on unders in the Honduras- Ecuador game, looks dead and buried now :(

C'mon red card to save the day
 
my last bet.. havent been successful since first 2 days. :(

Argentina - Iran over 2.5 and Argentina
Germany - Ghana over 2.5 and Germany
Belgium - Russia over 2.5
 
Germany have been bad in their 2nd games in major tournaments. Something to think about.

Heard the commentary say today that Italy haven't won their first two games of a WC in yonks, and that reflected today.

So definitely something to consider for the German game yes - with that being said, it's very hard to look past this German squad.
 
Could be my first win in about 5 days but got some way to go.
That top bet looks nailed on. Bosnia quite a good price at 10/11 as well, looked decent against Argentina and Nigeria are pony.
 
Over 4.5 yellows in this game for me. Honduras will probably play dirty again. Two reds last time these two played in a friendly and the ref has history of lots of yellows. He booked 11 players a couple of games back in his native league.
Nice 1 got on @6/5 when there were 2 cards, now theres 4. Got to be 1 more right?

Comes in easily enough, excellent price at 6/5.
 
Had this double earlier:

Come on just one more bloody booking!
 
Ha same here was hoping he would just to ensure the booking. Any more booking tips lads, quite enjoy watching a match with bookings haha especially with all the stop starts that normally f your bet

I'll have a look at tomorrow's games in a minute.

As I said earlier, Bosnia are great value tomorrow, they'll drop to at least 8/11 I think.
 
Wow unlucky mate, shoulda been a yellow around 87th minute but he already had a yellow which bailed him
Yeah there were a few the ref was a little hesitant on giving cards for, but understandable, he kept control of the game. Typically unlucky, just as this world cup has been for a lot of us :lol:
 
Good day for me to make up the nightmares recently.

The Germany, Bosnia and Argentina treble at 2.8/1 is tempting. Confident on Argentina. Germany should be too strong for Ghana - who didn't look very convincing against USA. Pressure will be on Ghana to get a result, so that may work for them. With that being said, in WC 2010, Germany faced a Serbia side in the 2nd game after the latter lost the first game to Ghana no less - Serbia won 1-0 against the Germans.
Nigeria looked dire against Iran, while Bosnia impressed against the Argies.

So a £10 or so on that treble may be on the cards for me. Maybe.

Goals wise, I may go:

Argentina - Iran OVER.
Germany - Ghana OVER.
Nigeria - Bosnia UNDER.

4.4/1 there - which isn't very tempting but we shall see.

BTTS wise - nothing really jumps out of me but I'll probably eye up the statistics tomorrow.
 
All right so now all I have left on my William Hill account after Italy have bottled it is my free bet. Why not go all crazy and go for:

France to beat Switzerland
Ecuador to beat Honduras
Argentina to beat Iran by more than a goal
Bosnia to beat Nigeria
Brazil to beat Cameroon
Croatia to beat Mexico
Spain to beat Australia
Colombia to beat Japan

£25 returns £1523.75. Just for the laugh seeing as I'm pissed of with this World Cup betting wise anyway (loving the football though).

Two down, six to go. Pretty confident about Brazil and Spain, fairly fine with Argentina and Bosnia, feck knows about Croatia and Colombia (although Colombia are a level above Japan).

Got another £5 free bet on:

Brazil -2 against Cameroon
Spain -1 against Australia
France beat Ecuador
Portugal beat USA
Ivory Coast beat Greece
Russia beat Algeria

To return over £183.

Apart from the Portugal to beat USA, they look good to me. -2 is dangerous considering how off Brazil has been this tournament, but I'm sure they'll want to end the group stages on a high against a deflated Cameroon. Spain will want to go out with some pride and not finish bottom - Australia have shown a lot of hunger this WC though and with the expectation of not qualifying beforehand, I'm sure that hunger will still be there against the Spanish.

Good luck on that.

I don't really think I'll make any money on that. Or the other bet although the start to that is promising, shades of Euro 2008 miracle bet.
 
Team cards? Bosnia ain't dirty are they?

Just Bosnia to win. At a (very) quick glance, there doesn't appear to be much value asides from maybe over 3.5 in Argentina match. The ref averages around 6 asides from his world cup match (Portugal-Germany) and with Iran more than likely sitting back defending, perhaps a few dirty tackles on Messi and co may rack up a few cards/

Yeah gunna lump on Bosnia and a -1/-2 Argentina win.

Referees in this WC seem to be very lenient though. With Iran probably defending very deep there won't be many 'stop the break' fouls, which are the ones most likely to produce a booking.

Bosnia should win based on the quality of their squad, but wouldn't bet too much on it personally.
Nigeria played very bad against Iran but it was the kind of team that really doesn't suit there playing style. With Bosnia being the favourite in this game they'll have plenty of opportunities to use their favoured counter attacking. Actually scoring is a major problem for them, but there will certainly be quite a few scary moments when Musa, Emenike, Moses break with pace.
