World Cup Betting Thread

Poland are still down right awful. I don't trust them to do anything.



Would you cash out?

I'm still not sure what to do. I don't trust Lewandowski... but this world cup has been "expect the unexpected"

What are your current numbers, cash out, stake, potential etc and what do you need. Either way, TBH, I'd cash out as Lewandowski has looked drugged for the first two games and I think Japan will win!
 
Oh, on a separate note, sure most of you have got BetVictor accounts but, err, my mum, has just seen this new offer and decided to join. It's better than the normal one but not sure if it's for the WC only or not.

You get 60 instead of 40 for a tenner.

EDIT - oh, a mate has just told me I'm an eejit for getting excited and they've had that for ages anyway! Oh well, still decent enough and better than when I joined.

I bet 50... return is 976 and cash out now is 216.

I pretty much need Lewandowski to score once or twice. If he scores once the return goes down to 488. If he scores twice without others scoring I win.
 
5 on Columbia, Japan, Tunisia and England scoring in the 1st half. Returns 100. Bet365. Crossing fingers :boring:

I don't think you can lay Lew as top Polish scorer so there is no simple hedge. You could back the other guy but what if some random scores one or even two. Lew is 13/2 to score 2 or more. Allowing for the bookies' profits that equates to, maybe, a 12% chance of him doing it. Of course, he could score two and still not be top scorer but let's say you have an 11% chance of winning.

He's 5/4 in the anytime, which is maybe a 40% chance of scoring according to the bookies.

Dunno what I'd do - depends on your situation. How much would a profit of 116 when it would have been 926 hurt? Losing 50 when you could just take the 216 wouldn't be fun either.

Generally cashout is poor value so from that POV you could let it ride. But for me, Japan 2-0. Haha, no fecking help whatsoever!
 
I've gone for:
James and Mane 1+ shot on target each
Tunisia -1
@6.00
£10 returns £60

Easy money..:wenger:
 
Also, Sassi for Tunisia who scored the pen vs England is 6.50 to score and win against Panama.

You just made this worse for me lol

Surely that isn't how dead heats are settled on accas? Ridiculous if true.
 
Rodriguez over 0.5 shots on target @ 1.50
Lewandowski over 1.5 shots on target @ 1.66
Senegal over 25 team performance @ 2.30
Poland over 45 team performance @ 2.25

Over 0.5 corners in first 10 minutes of both afternoon matches @ 1.66 and 1.61
Over 1.5 goal kicks in first 10 minutes of both afternoon matches @ 1.57 and 1.66

bet365 all.
 
10 on btts and senegal win returns 80
10 on btts and colombia win returns 39
5 on btts and a draw returns 23

So total 25 on min return 23, providing both teams score which i think is a given. Its a good hedge. Thats with coral
Ffs not looking good so far
 
My over 2.5 bet in the Sen-Col game not looking good. Putting some money on Senegal +0.5

Why is it ridiculous? The dead heat rule is completely fair for both parties.
Taking away 1/2 because 1/4 was a tie would not be fair.

You can't be serious.

£50 on Lewa, Kane, Costa and Salah to be their country's top scorer @ 19/1 gets reduced to £25 @ 19/1 because Lewa is joint top scorer.

Half wins are fair if they only affect that particular part of the bet. The £50 stake isn't on Lewa alone but Lewa, Kane, Costa and Salah. Fair in this instance would be if the stake was divided by 4 and they settled the Lewa part of the bet as a half win.

Spot on.
 
But it isn't £50 is it? It's an accumulator where the stake and winnings roll on from one leg to the next. So effectively there is £400 or whatever on Lewandowski and that ius being halved. In the same way if one leg loses you lose the whole acca and not just that leg! Either way, it is what it is and at the moment he needs a goal to get 1/3! But hopefully the bet is cashed out!

The Salah, Kane, Costa parts of the bet are completely unaffected. Their odds are getting paid out in full. It's not a bookie rule to rip people off. It's mathematically the only correct way to do it.

Instead of £50 at evens on Lewa, rolling onto the Salah, Costa, Kane treble. It's £25 at evens rolling onto the treble.
 
I will, let´s see if I recover after some not lucky days. Any recommendations for today night?

I am afraid we are going to see a very disappointing match, with Belgium trying to keep the second place.
 
I wasn't going to touch England Belgium but Coral have an offer on for £5 free bet for every goal England score if you bet on England at least £10 pre-match, as well as boosting England to win both teams to score at 5/1... Tempted to throw £10 on
 
chucked a free bet fiver on every team to score at least twice in the World Cup last month at 250/1. Just need 2 from Costa Rica tonight and one from Panama and Poland now. Still unlikely but you never know. Needed 2 from Morocco against Spain and that happened!

That was indeed a great shout @shaky. Well played sir!

Looks like this has come in for you? Great bet if it has :cool:
 
Gone for a draw at 2.7 in Play.. both sides look like theyre playing not to win
I went for draw pre-match at 2.9. Come on England, you can equalize and still get 2nd place due to fair play.
 
Fecking Rashford...

A day of loss for me. I've made small profits on most of the days in the WC so this was bound to come.
 
Gone with a small bet for Belgium/Tunisia in the half-time...I almost died with the annulled Panama goal :wenger:

:lol: Had the same feeling. Hope they'll crash out to Columbia for that miss. They seem a bit unstable.
 
Amazed that an ACCA picking Colombia,Spain, Croatia, Belgium, Brazil, France, Uruguay and Swiss to win in 90 minutes is 425/1
 
Looks like this has come in for you? Great bet if it has :cool:
cheers. I'm more amused than anything as to how many unlikely things had to happen for it to come off. Saudi scoring in injury time v egypt. Iran scoring in injury time v Portugal. Ditto for Costa Rica against Switzerland and South Korea v Germany, plus Morocco needing 2 v Spain. It' was an absolutely ridiculous run of things falling into place!

Wish I'd been on the same. Must have made every day of the World Cup more exciting. Enjoy the winnings. :)
 
First two days of last 16: France, Uruguay and Croatia to reach QF. And Spain to win in 90 minutes. For 200$ you get 1422. Looks like easy bet. What do you guys think?
