World Cup Betting Thread

Yeah Croatia seem to have settled. Disappointing
 
Unlucky guys. I’d have been on Croatia too if France hadn’t cleaned me out against Denmark.
 
Can not believe how bad this second half has been. One of the worst of the tournament.
Only beaten by Denmark vs France and perhaps one or two others.

I should have got on under 3.5 in the first half.
 
Croatia looked disinterested from the moment the second half kicked off. They didn’t use the right sided players at all, refused to spread it. Very strange. Anyway, that’s my dummy out of the pram and not doing a bet now. (Brazil and Belgium comfortable wins right on queue)

I'm avoiding Brazil Mexico

Belgium -1.5 @2.15/1 single
 
Got done by ONE fecking corner! This World Cup really is something else.
 
I actually had a live counter of goals, corners and cards (for one long term bet), and knew there is a few of both of those, yet still played.

Still not a yellow in 105 minutes, now that's a first probably at World Cups.

I think over 1.5 is a banker @ 1.3. Not a massive price but decent if you put it in a double/treble.

Brazil/Mexico - Over 1.5
England/Colombia - Over 1.5
Belgium/Japan - Over 2.5

I’d do that treble @ 3.5 if I had any money.
 
Yesterday was a great day . At 90 minutes in the Spain game I took Russia to win on penalties . Then I suggested on twitter that both teams to score in the first half of the Croatia game was 6/1 and amazingly I won that in 5 minutes. Then at 90 minutes in the Croatia game I took Croatia to win on pens and modric missed a 116th minute pen to make that happen
 
One of my friends just told me that he lost $5000 on Spain. He put the money after I told him that I had $600 on Spain because there was no way a team that good wouldn't win against a team that had 0 outfield players I couldn't recognize. My exact words were- I'd put more money in if I had access to it. Needless to say he's not very happy with me. :nervous:

Tell him to feck off. If you had told him to jump from a bridge, would he listen?

No one coerced him to bet on Spain, he did on his own accord after taking an opinion.
 
Nice. Feels amazing when an unlikely correct score bet comes through. I hit a 3-2 score with a $50 free bet once.

Very nice!

My best ever moment was backing Everton at 1-0 down very late against Spurs. Had a few quid then another fiver five minutes later. They went 1-1 and as I was trying to lay it off they scored again so won £900. All because of daytime drinking!
 
Only bet twice so far in this World Cup because i'm finding it too hard to call games.

Today though, I've Belguim win, BTTS, 3+ corners each team and 2+ cards each team @ 20/1 with #whatstheodds bet.
 
So what does everyone have left? I've only got the Belgium tip for today. Can't see anything else that is "almost" certain
 
Anyone remember this? No way there is even a single soul left in this.

Would be really interesting to see their stats of when people went out. I think the Germany Mexico game was probably the early killer of pretty much all entrys.

They seem pretty solid tbh

I asked them on twitter after that game funnily enough, there were about 4 people left before that and none afterwards, madness.
 
Over 3.5 goals at 11/5 seems generous. I have a feeling this will turn into a goalfest, particularly with Mexico counter-attacking at pace, which itself leaves them open to the counter-counter. There’s too many good goalscorers on show today (and not enough brilliant defenders) for it to be a snoozefest.

Germany Korea probably killed the rest

The overs are a bitch. You need a minimum of 8 corners in the game with 5 Brazil and 3 Mexico. Only thing I have an issue with regarding the bets.

Tailed the first one with the exception of the throw-ins for Mexico.
 
You've got the 5 Brazil fouls on bet365

Was thinking about this earlier. It was obviously nobody was ever going to win it, but I’d like to see at the end of the tournament who got the closest.
