It was two different bets, I went a bit gung ho and put a bigger stake on the hattrick.Grats you lucky sod. What sort of bet is that, which pays out for 2 and also pays out much more for 3?Don't think they have that on bet365.

Before he scored his first?
Nice. I had Kane hat trick + England to win 5-0 at 75/1. Gutted!
Did them both pre-match. Was already a few hundred up from the tournament so far, put £20 on double and £50 on hattrick. Panama looked shit, so figured it was worth the risk.
FFS Senegal
Fair enough.
I need to remember that it's possible to fecking cash out. Had Senegal to win as the last part of an acca, was watching and thought Japan would equalize, even put a bet on Japan to score again before 80 mins @ 5.0 (won), but clean forgot to cash out the acca.
Gone all in on over 1.5 in the Poland v Colombia game. 1.4 seems high IMO
3/5ths of the way there.
Not really sure why I chose England to win as I thought they might draw in that heat. And I thought Germany were dead certs to win against Sweden (haha).

Iran will make you sweat.
Yeah will be interesting. Iran had no losses in qualifying, winning their 5 team group with countries like Oman and India, then winning their 6 team group with South Korea, Syria, China, Qatar, etc.
They conceded 5 goals in 18 matches, and so far they've only conceded 1 goal this tournament.
But, it's Portugal. Ronaldo wants to score goals. Iran need to win. Portugal want to keep pace with Spain. I think it will be a tight game with few chances, but hopefully Portugal can nick it.
If you're on Skybet they seem to be slow with cancelling the cash outs too. I've had a few after the player has gone off, my mates had a couple when bet should be dead.Fair enough.

Thinking of lumping big on Colombia to beat Senegal while it's evens, I imagine the odds will shorten nearer the game.
Not quite easy money but think they'll be too strong for Senegal so evens is a good price.
Might be tempted by a Colombia/Japan double.
Right. feck this tournament. Someone give me some winners for tomorrow.
Stopped betting after some frustrating losses, then kept predicting correct bets without putting any money down. Watching England I called Kane hat trick, Lingard outside the box, penalty, over 4.5 and both teams to score but didn't put any of them on - when Vardy got subbed on I said feck this and whacked money on him to score at 13/8 - and of course that is the moment England stopped even trying.
Still got money left in the World Cup kitty so let's turn this around.

Thinking of
Egypt to win,
Russia or draw,
Iran vs Portugal draw
@10.54

Bet on a penalty during a game seems to be free money at this World cup....apart from when I bet on it of course.
Anyway if you're lumping on 13/8 shots I'd assume it would be worth it betting on penalties as I imagine plenty more will be given in the next 32 games. We've already had 15 so far haven't we?
Already 1.85 on bet365...
Congrats mate. Must be the most comfortable and stressless last bet for you. This is a "reward" for all the earlier stress you had to deal with. God is fair. What was your potential winning if you didn't hedge?
Crazy odds.
I was a single Columbia goal kick away from £900 today...
Bad bad Polish bastards...
only 4 goal kicks for Columbia in 90+ minutes...

I invested €100 more to hedge, that is all. I won €1.6k net as it is and would have won €1.7k net if I didn’t hedge. No big deal.
Too low for you?
Don't even question the offset, did the right thing. Great bet.
Yeah I know, I did the right thing.
I'm done for this World Cup, not going to spoil what has been a great one financially.
Feck it, threw a few quid on Portugal(Ronaldo) to win it.
Egypt, Portugal, and Spain to win at 4.5/1
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
I'm not sure about Portugal for some reason, think there could be a huge upset on the cards. Egypt and Spain are certs for me.
Iran 0-0 Portugal 6/1
Also taken draws at half time in the Uruguay and Portugal games.

Where?
Skybet price boost.
Congratulations, happy days and nice that England made it stress-free at the end.
I reckon just give yourself a couple of hundred and make a few smaller bets for the rest of the tournament.
I'm not making any bets for the rest of tournament, I don't want to spoil it. It's been full of surprises.
Bet365
Today going to start betting again, playing some safe ones and some bolder ones went with:
Spain v Morocco
Busquets 75+ Passes / Ramos 1 shot on goal - 23/20
BTTS = No / Over 1.5 Goals / Costa to score - 5/4
Egypt v Saudi
Egypt Win / Salah Score Anytime / Trezeguet 2+ shots - 14/5
Portugal v Iran
BTTS = No / Ronaldo Score anytime / Portugal win - 13/5
Uruguay draw no bet / Portugal draw no bet - 5/4
Spain / Portugal / Egypt / Uruguay to win - 11/1
Have some money put aside for in-plays today, will probably look to avoid using it though since the World Cup Kitty is running dry.

I'm convinced France/Denmark is going to be a draw. I'm not saying they're going to fix it, but if they're drawing after 70 mins it's in both teams interest to shut up shop and let the clock tick down.
How come betting companies are able to react to events seconds before they are shown on TV? Like suspending all relevant markets when a chance happens.
Suarez and Salah anytime boosted to 7/1 on Skybet, in already. Can't believe I've only stuck £10 on but easy to say that now!
Also got £20 on Uruguay v Russia BTTS, Egypt, Portugal and Spain Wins for £165.

feck, was late on putting that accumulator.
I see you've a habit in this thread of posting your bet whenever it cashes
