Apart from the £175 Germany/Brazil double and the £130 double with Argentina I posted, along with 2+ losing bets yesterday? Still withdrawn £430 in the last 7 days and can show you if you like. I don't hide from my losing bets. :)

M8.

How about posting it an hour earlier when a boost like that is open.

Was boosted from 7/2 to 7/1 as well, didn't think, because I didn't think Salah would feature to be honest!

@unitedbhoy - In Play £20 Uruguay next goal, Salah to score a brace and Egypt to win. Returns £135 with SkyBet. :D

Fecking SkyBet is UK only. Don't think I have access to any bookies that offer boosts :/

But, tailing on bet365. Edit: bet365 doesn't let you combine player to score + team to win. On Uruguay 3rd + Egypt win though.

One of my bets for today was BTTS in the Spain - Morocco match...delighted with that start. :D

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. :nono:

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?

How are you doing today chap....3 penalties awarded in today's games.

Been a frustrating tournament for me aswell so far., can't get any momentum going from game to game..seems the games where I bet on either team to score in the first ten minutes one of them scores in the 11th (Russia first game, England v Tunisia and Senegal yesterday).

And in games I don't we get Uruguay scoring in 10th minute and England in the 7th.
 
Anyone know what the general odds are on Argentina to win. Would take them at anything around evens. Would imagine the bookies are going on reputation and pricing them at 4/6.
 
What a joke this World Cup is betting wise.

I'm so close to being done. But the days I don't bet literally all my predications come in.
 
Made the mistake of lumping on Spain at basically evens when they went 0-1 down. Wiped out my profit from yesterday, the highs and lows of gambling.

Feel like there is value next two days so will be back on it then.

Yeah me too. Practically given up now and just using my freebies as they come in. Have missed out on so many bets by the single goal, card or corner...it's unreal.

Definitely a good year for the bookies so far.

Glad I'm not a betting man - I'd probably be a poor man by now with the way this WC has gone so far.

It's been a strange one. Depends what your method is.

At least it's high scoring. I got completely ruined by how low scoring 2014 world cup and especially euro 2016 as that had loads of games that were 0-0 until last 5 minutes.

I bet on teams to score within specific timeframes so it's been very hit and miss.

Seriously I would say for rest of tournament just keep betting on next goal scored to be a penalty. That's usually a 14/1 shot at most times of the game.

Spa-Mor draw + Ira-Por draw @14.40

Yay :)

I looked to be heading for a day of losses. Missed several other bets. Then this long shot came in and put me comfortably in the green for the day. :)

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).

So close

god damn ronaldo
 
Bad day at the office today. Egypt, Portugal and Spain all let me down.
 
Where's the value tomorrow? 100% going for penalties mind. Learnt my lesson.
 
Bad day...the group A and B were dead holes since the day 1. Egypt, twice delivered negative result, Spain, all the 3 games, Uruguay could not destroy Arab, and but could hammer Rusia whom shoved Arab. Portugal also twice delivered losses.

My inner negative thinking said this two groups may have been fixed with the main purpose to accomodate Russia qualifying. How come that Arab that could only loose a goal against Uruguay and won Egypt, beaten so bad by Russia ? Feck me.

However, still the games with possible profits. Therefore lets try my luck one more time.

Peru Aussie BTTS
Jedinak and Guererro to score anytime
Nigeria over Yellow card
France clean sheet

Finger crossed. Hahahaha
 
£100 on over 1.5 in all 4 games to return something like £350.

If it loses I won’t have another bet probably.
 
I think the Aussies are good value today.

Have put £50 on Australia or draw and BTTS @ 2.7

May put some on Australia to win as well but Peru have played some nice football, just haven't got a finisher.
 
Peru surely won't go out of this World cup without scoring a goal, think Aussie will struggle to score more than one goal today so don't see them winning.
 
Griezmann + Eriksen 2+ shots on target each is @ 15.00, assume the bookies feel that greizmann's minutes will be limited to offer this, they generally seem to do very well with their price boosts.

Worth a punt?
 
Nigeria at 11/2 tonight??? Yes Argentina have to win but not sure they could win a game of rock, paper, scissors if they had to depend on Caballero? Besides the Messi factor they look a shambles and Nigeria will be tough to break down and have pace up top.

Yeah was looking at Nigeria a lot they're at good odds. They've only been really good for about 45 minutes so far but it's more than Argentina have been.

Denmark or draw & Nigeria or draw isn't bad at 4.55 either. Might throw in Australia or draw for 7.14 too.

Nigeria to win and both teams to score in Denmark/France is about 11/1.
