World Cup Betting Thread

Over 0.5 goals in extra time is 17/20. Pretty good odds considering Russia look exhausted and 30 minutes is a long time to hold out when you’re in that state of body and mind. Plus, Russia have looked a tad dangerous on the odd counter-attack they’ve mustered, not to mention anything can happen on set-pieces. I don’t see this ending 1-1 after 120 minutes at all.
 
Odds aren't high enough for me to lump on them with the way they are playing.
 
Just lost $600 on spain. I really need some help here guys because I cannot afford to lose so much given my financial circumstances.

Only bet what you can afford to lose

My advice is to stop gambling at this point.

Never try to recoup your losses by betting further.

Yeah looks like it will go to pens, avoid it is my guess.

Only bet what you can afford to lose. Don't chase that high return, don't go for the cliche (Spain are easily beating Russia etc)

I've basically decided to close all my accounts if Croatia don't beat Denmark. I only made that deposit because I was chasing bonus bets but once the money was in the account I got tempted into betting on spain to fulfil the turnover requirements instead of using Betfair and laying the bet. I've decided to put all my Bonus bet on Croatia because this bookie has ridiculous turnover requirement and I'll need to win big to recoup my losses.

Croatia should beat Denmark, Croats have been so much better. Good luck
 
Akinfeev is usually better than DDG at penalties...

Dave is good. You'd expect him to save 2 out of 5 in a shootout. All this talk of "he always dives to the right" is bullcrap.

Thanks, BTW the crazy spiral that ended up with $600 bet started after I won cheeky punt on France to win with Greizmann scoring and both teams scoring that earned me 100$ on $10 bet. Just shows why this thing is so addictive.

He dives early, that’s the main thing with him.

Quit whilst you're ahead. Be careful man it'a a dangerous disease.
 
Come on Russia
Croatia should beat Denmark, Croats have been so much better. Good luck

If this World Cup has taught us anything, nothing is a given. I wouldn't put it past Denmark to do a number on Croatia!

Would never bank everything on a single result. I remember doing an under 7.5 goals for the Bet365 pre-match offer on a banker once and sure enough, the game ended up being an 8 goal mashup!
 
Yesss. Feck off Spain. :devil:

DDG goes to his right every time.

Made back a bit of the money I lost.

Erm.....

2 of 5? If you've looked at the stats you expect him to save fewer than the average GK. 1 of 5, maybe. And he does normally dive to his right.
 
Went with Spain on pens, gutted.

Bizarrely I won £300 with £3 credit I had left in my SkyVegas account which has covered my losses in the last 24 hours but it’s still not great.

Tempted to double down on Croatia and it Belgium.
 
Bet365 and you can build it yourself

This is great. I completely ignored that not really knowing what it actually does. Thanks a bunch.

Over 1 Goals in the Match for Both Teams Combined
Over 6 Goal Kicks in the Match for Denmark
Over 2 Cards in the Match for Both Teams Combined
Over 3 Corners in the Match for Croatia
Over 6 Goal Kicks in the Match for Croatia

I did that already.

Added a silly russia spain draw croat win and belgium -1.5 Similar to it
 
What’s the best place to use? I’ve been using Paddy Power for a couple of years but I’m thinking there must be something better.
 
bet365? Not the highest odds, but the site is phenomenal with a lot of cool options. Also, I never had any problems with them, they seem...reliable? Not sure how big winners are treated though.

I had one with them once. The prematch bet thing where they give you a free bet up to 50USD.

after the game I didn't get reimbursed and after talking with their staff I was told offer not available in my country. So why send me a message then? cnuts

I do love my Bet Builders! They are a lot of fun....until you get shafted like I did with Spain! :( Coral's Bet Builder is a lot more flexible.

Good luck!

I've got over 1 goal, over 7 corners, under 5 cards, over 15 free kicks,over 40 throw-ins and Croatia or draw @15.00
 
Fiver quad on going for 135 pot.
Giving me 50 cash out now but need both Croatia and Denmark to score regardless of who wins.
I considered taking it out and placing some smaller bets on last match but don't think it's worth it.
Boom.
Just went to check the score and the loot is already in my account.
Ta very much...
 
Gutted I missed yesterday’s games but pleased I’ve missed today’s.

Would most definitely have won yesterday but probably lost it all today :lol:
 
Need some advice:

Got 2 slips with Croatia win on them

Should I cash out one of them for a fiver loss and keep the other one going or let it ride?

I'm letting it ride, they looked convincing to me.
 
Had to make another bet builder at half time.

Denmark scoring in the first minute ruined my last one as I had Croatia to win to nil.

Main thing I need now is 3-1 Croatia, with Mandzukic grabbing another.

No chance that happening now! After the great group games, teams have gone to pot.
