To score in both halves sounds like the best bet and the HT/FT should be alright but I'd be wary of the handicaps myself. Could definitely see Ghana grabbing a goal and making it 2-1 or 3-1.

What bookie has to score in both halves for Germany/Ghana? I can only see "both teams to score in both halves". Can't find it on WH, Betfair or Coral... unless I'm looking in the wrong place
 
WH, under "Goals".

EDIT: It's on Betfair as well. Have to scroll down, below "Germany over/under 2.5 goals" option.
 
Is Total Goals at under 3.25 for Argentina v Iran a good enough bet? I thought the Iranians look defensively solid under Querioz while Argentina look pretty toothless in their first game.
 
I think Argentina will go to their 433 and now Messi has that monkey off his back they should be a different team, but who knows.

What is the difference between Asian handicaps and normal handicaps?

With normal handicaps your bet is lost when the handicap isn't met, with asian handicap you could get (part of) your money back.

Example: Result is 2-0
Normal handicap -2: Lost
Asian handicap -2: money back
Asian handicap -1.75: Half your stake back, half your stake counts as won.
Asian handicap -2.25: Half your stake back, half is lost.

Also sometimes presented as -1.5, 2.0 and -2.0, 2.5.

So what would a bet saying Argentina -1.5, -2 mean?
 
I enjoyed that game so much more than I would have if I had anything more than a fiver on it so I think I'm gonna take this as my cue to quit while I'm ahead and enjoy the football. I'll still have a flutter on a few games but the 3rd games tend to be unpredictable once teams have qualified and I don't think any of the remaining 2nd round games are easy to call. Both teams to score in the Portugal game maybe.

I'm about £150 in the whole since the tournament started.

Germany and Bosnia nets me £180. I'll be withdrawing £150 and playing £30 till the end of the tournament. I hope. If they win, obviously!

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).
