World Cup Betting Thread

Been a really odd one for betting so far. Going up and down. I've neither went forward or backwards with the money it's basically dead on what I started on in the WC Betting kitty.



I've got Lewandowski to score anytime and both teams to score double.

Both teams have leaky defences and rely on attacking talent in Mane and Lewandowski. Was tempted to over 2.5 goals but held myself back.

Also have Colombia to win. A Russia/draw and Poland/draw double. And last but not least Colombia over 1.5 team goals.
Cheers! Put some money on Poland and Russia. Already won the Japan game, although it was a small bet.
 
Avoided match results after the results so far. Went for Colombia/Japan:

Over 2 goals, over 3 cards, over 10 corners @17.00 - LOST

Over 1 goal, over 1 card, under 12 corners @6.00 - WON

Promising start so far.

So glad I avoided the 1X2 results. Just needed 2 more corners for both to come in but I'll take any win he way the WC is going.
 
What’s going on at this World Cup! Havnt had a win yet.
Had my hopes up for a second in this match with gueye to score and Poland win. The og decision quickly put that to bed :lol:

Tomorrow I’m doing a 3 game Acca at the exact opposite to what I Think is going to be the results
 
Doing ok with the very straight forward both teams not to score. Varying odds obviously but in profit with a fiver on each match.

Also done draw in each game so start with £1, then double to £2, £4, £8, etc until there's a draw then back down to £1 and doing ok in that too.
 
Had Senegal to win and BTTS at 17/2.
Also had BTTS as a single. I was fairly confident it would come through - made me sweat though.

Also had Diouf to score at least 2. Silly bet.

:lol:. Well done for the other bets though mate.

I've got a double of Senegal win and Cheryshev to score any time for Russia. Keep predicting things correctly but not having a bet so hopefully tonight that changes!
 
We've got a World Cup Predictor game in work. Group games only, £500 pot split for top 3. I was second going in to today and have 1-1. Could realistically end 1-1 if Columbia dig their heels in.

Bets:

1) My predictions for the day...Columbia 1 - 1 Japan, Poland 2 - 1 Sengal, Russia 2 - 2 Egypt - £5 returns £8700 (ha)- LOST
2) Columbia, Poland, Egypt Win & BTTS - £5 retruns £1300 - LOST
3) Portugal Win & Over 1.5 Poland/Senegal - £65 returns £160

The rest of my pot I'm sitting on till Thursday now.

Last bet looking okay now. Not taking anything for granted yet though.

Can’t decide where to put my money on this late game.. Salah anytime nearly 2/1 tempts me. Wonder how fit he is or if that even matters with his form.

Cushty.
 
Spain 1/5 to beat Iran

Surely Spain have to much for Iran tomorrow? Portugal v Morocco might be a bit closer but Iran look so basic.
 
Two Lucky 15's bets at the beginning of the tournament both £15 plus an extra £1 on the four fold accumulator ;

Russia to win the group - 13/5
Portugal 13/5
Mexico 11/2
Senegal 6/1
Total £16 bet potential Winnings hopefully £589.68 plus £1268.60

Second bet to qualify from the Group Same £16 bet ;

Sweden 11/8
Japan 9/4
Iceland 3/1
Australia 4/1

Total £16 bet unlikely but you never know £154.38 plus £429.31

I have a few more of these bets probably about £95 in open bets so as long as one comes in .....Happy Days?

So potentially £2441.97 for a £32 bet, unlikely yes, but my point would you bet on pot 3 and pot 4 teams in the champions league with any confidence?

No Chance when are the bookies going to realise International football is much closer than club football and adjust the odds accordingly!
 
Portugal to win Single

Spain to win and over 4 cards in the match. Iran are a physical team and the quick one twos of the Spanish+Diego Costa will surely result in some yellows.
 
Doing ok with the very straight forward both teams not to score. Varying odds obviously but in profit with a fiver on each match.

Also done draw in each game so start with £1, then double to £2, £4, £8, etc until there's a draw then back down to £1 and doing ok in that too.

Please don't do this draw "system". Martingale, of which this is a variant, is one of the oldest and undoubtedly worst betting systems around. It's perfectly feasible that there won't be a draw for 10 or more games. If that happens (and if you do this system beyond the WC into a league season it WILL happen) you'll be staking £512 on the next game all to win a quid. And a run of a lot more than 10 non-draws WILL happen at some stage too, meaning you'll be betting £1024, £2048 or more.
 
Portugal -2
Spain and Uruguay -3

174/1

I know it’s long but even with my safe bets I’ve been way off so far

Also got them as a straight treble. Tenner on for 25 back. Just trying to get some more betting money back in the account. Surely that can’t go wrong :nervous:
 
Gone for a treble of Ronaldo/Suarez/Costa all to score 2 or more. Not a bad start.
 
Did an extra £50 pre match on Portugal at 4/6. Win £240 total if they win from my two bets.

Gutted kids in the office got on Ronaldo price boosts for bookies that have me banned because I had a profitable year ages ago!

Tempted by Suarez/Costa goals later, not sure whether anytime or FGS yet.
 
Chickened out on letting Portugal ride till the end after reading the matchday thread and asking a friend whose watching the game at home.

Tiny profit made, so nice start to the day.

2nd and final bet is spain win and more than 4 cards in the game, I'm confident about that one.
 
Up to £225 after the Portugal win, cashed out a bit early.

Done £150 on O1.5 Uruguay and Spain Team goals for £290. Uruguay concerning me with how the game is going but at least they have a goal under their belt.
 
Won't be happy if this game fizzles out to a 1-0 Uruguay win, was 8/1 for it to stay at 1-0.

Would imagine in the earlier game Portugal odds would've been even longer given how early they scored.

Profitable day for someone who likes that sort of speculative bet. Shame I used up my 200 quid surplus for the week on the Sweden, Belgium and England games which were pretty poor. :rolleyes:
 
Had Uruguay to win to nil, Luis Suarez to score, under 4 cards, over 6 corners @5.00

Got the 7th fecking corner right at the end in the 92nd minute, just when I'd given up!

That was a close one!
 
Going for Spain to win, Costa to score anytime, Costa to be carded, over 2.5 goals, under 55.5 booking pts, under 12.5 corners @13.50
 
Also gone for:

Over 1.5 goals, 3+ Iran corners, 7+ Spain corners, 10+ booking pts each team @5.00

2-5 goals, 1-5 cards, 7-14 corners @2.00
 
What an absolutely shocking first half. The bookies will have made an absolute fortune in the last 48 hours.

Was going to say the same thing. Bookies absolutely cleaning up and laughing their asses off so far.

Flipping typical with the low goals, corners and card count!
 
Need another goal in this game with under 11 corners for 280
