Need a penalty for Brazil here and it'd be ideal

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.

Some poor soul will end up with just one or two wrong results and will kick himself for weeks :lol:

I tweeted them after the Germany Mexico game, I think a couple reached that stage, then both had gone after it, 10 matches in.

I took the second one with over 2 cards on the match instead of the 4 1st half free kicks, just squeezed home!
 
Excellent! The second would pass if ref didn't wave advantage on one occasion. :D

Still, that twat really refused to give Mexico much.
 
I'm unsure about Belgium -1.5. Japan will almost certainly lose, but I don't see them as a team that will get hammered.

Can see it ending 2-1 perhaps

Tempted to go for Lukaku first or anytime goalscorer but the odds are terrible for those on bet365 (1.66 for anytime)

I fancy the under 3.5 cards @1.90

Neither team seem really dirty and both are good at getting rid of the ball early enough to stop tackles coming in. May wait till I see the lineups.

Senagalese referee has dished out 7 yellows and one red in 2 games this tournament.
 
Can't seem to stop fooling around with bet builder, probably not a good thing.

Stayed away from Belgium -1.5. Japan are fighting really well as I expected.

Got on HT draw instead. :)
 
Looks like throw ins and corners for Japan will fail me. I can see those only if Japan concedes, but not really a fan of that. Curses!
 
Need Lukaku to score.

Belgium to get two more would be great, but not essential.
 
Brazil/Belgium both to advance above evens was such a good price, wish I had more in the kitty to lump on it but hey ho. It's kept me going.
 
Baaaalllsss

Won O4.5. But held back on Belgium to score before 70:00 and 4th goal to be a header. Bah. Gotta trust my instincts more.
 
Friend stuck £50 on Belgium to win 3-2 at 22/1. Made £1050. Damn.

Colombia being 3/1 is a bit crazy imo

Yeah I've considered that bet a couple of times, think it's just me being massively pessimistic though. I'm jumping on England 2-0 tomorrow I think. Might add Kane to score first in there.
 
When you bet on a correct score or win in 90mins does that include injury time? I know it doesn’t include extra time
 
Think I'll stick another 20$ (probably in play) on this world cup and quit whilst I'm ahead. Last 3 or 4 bets have failed miserably.
 
£50 Risk Free Bet from B365

Pre Match Bet - £50 on BTTS FH - NO Returns £55.55
In Play Bet - £50 on BTTS FH - YES Returns £325.00 (less £50 Free Bet)


Edit: BTTS FH come in a few times, especially in games we thought would be cagey.

You should first get the offer from bet365, I didn't for this game for instance (whether it's Swe-Sui or Col-Eng), but did for Croatia - Denmark.

You bet whatever you want...5, 10, 25, 50...(more?) pre match on a single for that game, and they'll give you same amount to spend in-play (won't be available before the match) on a selection of your choice.

Goal kicks are a tough prediction...some games have loads, some have very little...

Love bet builder though...
 
Me too. :)

I don't know how they work out how much you get...

Me and a mate do pretty much exactly the same bets, same amounts, but he gets £10 free bet, I get £25...we do bet regularly, and yet a mate of mine hardly ever bets, but gets £50 free bet...

I've even asked them how they do it, and the guy said it's " at their discretion"...

My Bet365 qualifying bet for tonight is a bet builder...and easily winnable...

Over 1 goal in the game
Over 6 corners
Under 1 goal in the first 10 minutes
England to Qualify
Over 3 goal kicks in the match for Columbia

£25 @ 12/5 wins £85

feck knows what my free bet will be...

Either 2-1 England or BTTS First Half Yes
 
Very disappointing and demoralizing. Goal and free kicks easily went through, but the corner drought continues in this match as well. :(
 
Everything passed in second save for over 5 free kicks for Suisse. Think there were exactly five of them.

Well, feck that.
