Oh, do piss off ref...oh, wait, it's Tony.
Carry on, good job.
Carry on, good job.
Sir Fergie looks like he might be right about the France game unfortunately...on the other hand Honduras are doing me proud here! They'd have to really bomb in the second half to drop down to 42% from here and both teams are fouling like champions. All I need is 9 more fouls here - less than half the amount of fouls in the first half. In light of that I'm feel confident enough posting my entire betslip without jinxing it because I stuck a fair bit of money on both of those...
Nine more fouls, good luck.
Backed no first half goals and draw after 30 minutes. A nice boost.
Still got a decent chance, had 56% at HT but they lost their way a bit towards the end as they looked to go more and more direct to counter Ecuador. We just need them to stop going for the goals so much
Valencia red should get me a France win now.
So sorry I had to win on Antonio's expense. Think it was a red, but that's for other thread.
Get in there!!!!! had 2 euro on him to be sent off @22/1 with PP
Klose & Müller to score against USA is 8/1.
Think i lump 5 on it.
Müller to break the ice and Klose coming on against a tired USA team to score.

Switzerland -1 was a good call. Predictably I didn't bet any money.
Wish this Ecuador keeper would feck off.
Wish Pogba would see a yellow

Sorry but what did SAF mention about the France game? I can't seem to find any quotes from him.
feck off france
Not our boss, the one and only, the incredible, rhyme animal, Sir Alex Ferguson, but our fellow poster, Sir Fergie.
He means the poster on here
Was having a mare of a day till I put a fair whack on a draw in the France game after Valencia got sent off. Puts me in slight profit for the day.
That would be me!Came in quite easily in the end the possession bet, cheers Tony V.
Good ol' Tony V taking one for the team, such a selfless pro.
I am loving this World Cup.

I had a look at those markets but didn't bother in the end. Looks as f you've done quite well. Are those all singles or an accy?
Its in an accy and they all completed except for Russia tomorrow, but the weird thing is that b365 are claiming that the Brazil one is unsettled as it is ongoing??
Im sure it was group stage goals or else I wouldnt have picked Brazil. That can't be right they're meant to be settled at the group stage

Most of those were on my list of possible bets before WC, but couldn't combine them so didn't bother waiting a month for the result.
I did take Iran Under 1.5 goals @1.83 after their first game though and had that same bet before the tournament together with Algeria to qualify @11.
did you do any other unders/overs before the tournament, surely it was a group stage bet right?
I believe that is for the whole World Cup, otherwise you wouldn't get 6/5 on Brazil under 10.5 because that'd only require them not to score 4, 4 and 3 or something equally consistently high which was always unlikely in a tricky group. The line would be drawn at 6 or maximum 7 for 6/5 to make sense in groups alone.
Don't worry though, they are on 7 and could well go out to Chile or Mexico.
I thought about that at the time but I was thinking maybe they predicted Brazil to around the goal mark. It was @ around 35/1 aswell..
Yeah Chile could do it but they will most likely concede, it is Colombia after that. Its stupid how they dont disclose the fact whether or not is the group stages or the full tournament..
With the bookmaker I use (or more accurately 'have to use') there were different categories listed. Some of those over/unders were listed as tournament-bets, others were explicitly only for the group stage. Should be in the description of the bet?
If under 6.5 was 35/1 then it's definitely the whole tournament. They might lose to Chile and be done unless it's 5-4 or something. They have 7 goals so far. You were unlucky that Cameroon were so crap and that they got that penalty (or late goal for that matter) against Croatia. They have very little firepower though aside from Neymar, they might go out to Colombia or Chile and end up with 10 or less.
Right, it just says Team Total Goals under each 1.. not really descriptive
No it was 35/1 for the whole accumulator including the others.
The cameroon one was just probs evening out the clean sheet Mexico managed to keep against them. I thought 6/5 was fair for the home nation for under 11 goals. I need Chile to take them out now probs...
Portugal Belgium double today returns £33 from £10.
South Korea have looked mightily poor this tournament so I think Belgium are safe. Portugal still have an outside chance of qualification but it's not in their hands. They should still do their job though.
Germany USA draw is at 3.00. I've couple that with Belgium -1 in a small stake double. Think it works out at 14.00 roughly. Obviously Germany draw is a long shot but that's all either team needs to qualify. Klinsmann is German. We will see.

Well in theory they could still win it without going past 10. Spain scored 3 between group stages and final and took final to extra time and I'm not sure goals scored in it count.
I wouldn't go anywhere near Portugal. Ghana have looked much better than them so far, if anything I'd back Ghana to win.
But... But.. Ronaldo
Probably why it's longer odds. Portugal are odds on but that doesn't mean anything when the odds are that high anyway.
Greece to win it all?

Ronaldo hasn't been himself at this World Cup and Portugal have been very leaky at the back - fast Ghana players will have a field day with the gaps they leave behind. Both teams have to really go for it but Ghana will have more belief in them simply because it's easier for them to qualify (Portugal need a miracle). A lot will depend on Germany v USA - if it's 2-0 to Germany at half time both Ghana and Portugal will fancy their chances and go for it.
I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen today other than goals in the first two games.

Got to disagree with that second bet there. I think there are going to be tons of fouls in the Portugal game. Ghana are going to be going all guns blazing I reckon, closing down from the very start. And we all know how dirty Portugal can be. Going to be a cracking game I think, something like 3-3.
Been going back and forth with the Germany game. Initially I thought it was going to be a goal fest, but the closer to kick-off it gets, the more I think both teams will just be happy with a 0-0 draw.
Gone for the possession markets again, think todays games are really tricky so only played small stakes and may have a look at overs later on;
Portugal over 51.5% & Russia over 53.5%
Portugal over 51.5% & Russia over 53.5%
