World Cup Betting Thread

Wonder how many people lumped on the penalties markets. It's mental this World Cup! :wenger:
 
I had a tenner on Lukaku golden boot at 16/1. If Belgium go deep in this competition I feel good about it.

The -1.5 is in but in doubt if Tunisia nick one. Advice lads?
 
I am pretty confident about England v Panama, I will be able to hedge that one pretty well too. Today is the crucial game though and the toughest on the whole coupon. Considering how much trouble France and Brazil gave me I am not really calm now.

Can you not use Betfair to lay England if need be?

I had a tenner on him too but at 17. Cashout's already at £52. Also get a £5 free bet every time he scores so that's another two for tomorrow....at least!

It could be Lukaku doing Lukaku things. I know it’s lazy to say he only bags against the poor opposition but it’s Panama and Tunisia. If he scores against us and they make a run though, it could definitely happen. I feel they’ll go on more of a run than Portugal but Ronaldo has Iran coming up doesn’t he.

Who defended magnificently v Spain
 
Depending on Brazil's line up today I'm going big on:

Brazil to win
Belgium -1.5
England to win

If Neymar plays, Brazil has the beating of Costa Rica.

England should dispatch Panama with ease.

Belgium have good attacking talent and are up against Tunisia. Tunisia's 2-1 loss scoreline is flattering because England could have been up by 3 or 4 goals in the first half alone. They kept penetrating the Tunisia backline with ease.

Pays 3/1. Thoughts?

Looking good.

Cash out is now 119$ from a 50$ bet. Maximum win is 154$.

Should I say feck the England game and take it?
 
I'm a jammy sod. I put money on Lukaku to score 2+ and Hazard to score 2+, two singles no doubles.

And then at half time put some on Belgium to win 5-2. I celebrated that Tunisian consolation like a native.

Mexico - South Korea is a hard one. South Korea won't leave as many gaps in the back as Germany, but I don't know how brave they'll feel. They have Germany next so they know they have to take something from the game.

Don't think there will be many goals.
Mexico 2-0
Guardado to score anytime.
Hernandez to score anytime.
 
I'd maybe put a little bit on Mertens but nothing else. No way the other two are overtaking Lukaku with a 2 goal head start.

I decided not to do it and looks like the right decision. I will see what the odds are when they reopen.

Illegal here, most bookies are. Need to use Betsson.

I am tempted to hedge it now. Would take €1.8k basically. Don’t think it’s worth risking.

Did Belgium next goal 7/5, £25 to return £60. Did that on about 68mins. Can you imagine my reaction when Batshuyai had that spell before scoring?

After this did £20 Mexico to be winning by 30mins to return £60, that pen was nice for me. Also helps my treble with Germany later to run.
 
I think I will hedge a draw. I don’t think Panama can win, right?

Or just hedge it all and take €1.8k by putting €400 on Panama or draw now. €900 invested, €2.2k taken either way, €1.3k net profit.

England are prone to feck ups. I might wait until half time though? Should still comfortably get €1.5k then unless Panama are winning.

Honestly mate don't do it. Panama are atrocious.

I am going to just secure my stake for €80 for draw.

I either win nothing, win €1.6k net or lose €580 if Panama win.
 
Did £8.88 (to leave me a round number) Hernandez next goal in play 7/1, returned £71, lovely. Won all my in plays today and my acca needs Germany for £135. Can’t believe how quickly I’ve made all that money back, now let’s see if I can keep hold of it. :lol:

feck off Son.
 
On the Belgium/Mexico/Germany treble at 11/4 with betfred. Will throw it all on Colombia tomorrow I think.
 
I hedged it. €100 on draw.

I have invested €600, will take €2200 if England win, €600 if it is a draw (so basically I have the stake back) and nothing if Panama win. I think it’s reasonable.

Reasonable. Now you just have to rely on England not being bottlers... :D

Ideas, anyone, for what to bet on in 2nd half of Ger Swe?

Been given at the wrong times though. Need some after the 80th minute mark when it's usually between 20/25-1.

I remember the one Greece got in 90th minute v Ivory Coast won me a fortune.
 
Dear Lord! Football eh?? This World Cup is fecking killing everybody! :lol:
 
Kroos is the only reason I'm not homeless now. thank you you beautiful man! :drool:
 
I done a treble of Brazil, Belgium and England all to win -1
Will England score 2 with out conceding :nervous:

It’s meant to be sweltering heat where they’re playing too so that might come into play. I would imagine Panama will deal with the conditions better. Could end up being a tight game IMO if England don’t get one in the first half.

I’ve backed England and over 2.5 though because I think quality will come out on top in the end.
