Overactionaments shock from Scottish Dave 

Not really. I just dont appreciate someone telling me that Its Either this or Either that, and anything else in wrong, when clearly it isnt.

If he could prove to me the place its written down that its got to be Either/or, then id admit im wrong, until then i ain't


seeeeemples!

[Woodsey]

Jeeez you guys get your knickers in a twist over some trivial stuff

[Murph1984]

It's ok Dave we all make mistakes 

I can understand Bet365 dumbing things down,I'd guess your average Joe would have a brain seizure upon seeing 64/25 as the odds.

But someone as knowledgable as yourself could have posted 3.56 

Hope it comes up anyway.

All is forgiven!

I've just got £80 matched at 1.59 in the Villa V Messi goalscorer match bet on Betfair.

Its 2-0 to Villa so far, plus he's got tonights game in hand over Lionel.

Little tricky this one as you can also bet the tie.

Haven't read through the thread, so this might have been mentioned, but IMO there is some value today in the world cup matches.

Bear in mind I'm not having a bet personally (due to bankroll issues).

To back Brazil  vs Portugal, currently 2.56/2.58 on Betfair.

North Korea vs IC: 
This game will be like a cup-final for the North Koreans after the embarrassment of last game. I don't necessarily expect them to win, but I think they'll put up a fight.

I'd consider putting something on the 0-0 (to lay off throughout the match) at 16s, consider laying the Ivory Coast at 1.37 in the match odds, and strongly consider laying IC half time/ IC full time at evens.
 
Didnt realise kickoff was so soon.

Tonight great value imo on the 'Switzerland to win to nil' Market on Betfair, at 2.36 atm

I've never in my life heard anyone with any betting knowledge say anthing like 2.56/1.

It's either 3.56 or the equivalent fraction,you can't be mixing the two imo.


Anyway on Spain @ 1.56 and Ivory Coast -1.5 @ 2.08

layed the Ivory Coast bet @ 1.95 after hearing teamnews

[Sighmuns]

Lol. Perhaps this is why i'm having BR issues eh

[sweet potata!]

Looks like the Ivorians are up for giving this a real go, they're abs battering Korea. Would be too funny if they won 8-0 and qualified

Well still profit,albeit only 10% of what I would have had.

When the pace and power of Drogba,Dindane and Kalou was the main basis for my arguement and 2/3 were not named,got itchy feet.

You mean 0.56/1 on Spain....

this is exactly how it was written up when the on course bookies were trying out decimal odds a while ago...It was a bit of a joke IMO.

That was great team news to leave out 'Donkdane' and Kalou who i dont rate either

Evidently I thought otherwise 

[sweet potata!]

Srsly though i know you support Chesea, what do you think of Kalou?

[Murph1984]

He improved a lot and was pretty immense the second half of last season.

His pace is scary,he lacks composure at times but is still fairly young.He'll never be clinical but he's a very good player imo,def a great player to have in our squad.
