World Cup Betting Thread

Haven't sports bet in so long but decided to get involved yesterday.

Had £85 on England to win.  [  ] Went well.

Then had £85 on Argentina to win by more than 1 at 9/5 to bink some profit on the day.

Got £200 on Holland to win by more than 1 and the same bet on Brazil later.

Well at least we landed brazil!

Hmmm....2moros bets....

[sweet potata!]

I kinda Tilted Yesterday after running bad in the Ghana v U.S.A match, so I donked all my money on 3 Trebles, One time plz.....Have the Argies in 2 of em so decent start last night.


£25  Paraguay, Spain, Argentina   returns £170


£25 Argentina, Brazil, Holland  returns £80 Bink


£20 Spain, Paraguay, Holland  returns £133

I'd hardly be lucky enough for a Spain, Paraguay double to scoop the lot would i ?

[Ant040689]

Unlucky.

Well, what odds Holland to beat Brazil? I reckon we'll only beat them 20% of the time TBH...not really tempted by the 3-1 on offer.

£5 Draw - Portugal pays £65

Just leaves me that any result in the Japan game and i will still have something to sweat on for the Spain game, Prob mug puntering at its best! but hey ho gives me an interest.

really dont see this at all, i think there is easy over 2.5 goals

im currently trying to get on the goal spread on this one.



EDIT:

scratch that i just checked and i got matched @ 2.4, £10 per goal again

3 goals for +£6, then another £10 per goal thereafter

[boldie]

Think Iron was having you on, Dave.

I don't really see the appeal of the goal spread,noticed it in your bets for yesterday as well.

IMO there are unlikely to be many games at these stages with 4 or more goals which in the case of tonight you need 4 to make a profit of £16 with potential liability of what? like £26 if it's 0-0?

Be much better off sticking to over/unders market imo.

[ChipRich]

Japs to win in ET plz, on @ 11.0 at Half Time.

lets gogogo.

[Scottish Dave]

£20 on the Draw @ 3.2
£41 lay the draw after 76 mins @ 1.5

£20 green across the board!

it all depends on your view of the game.

you think there could only be 4 goals tops then yes, back the overs.

i personally think there could be 6 or 7 goals between the teams, therefore the spread works for me.

plus, i like action, so if i back the overs and its 3-0 at half time, the rest of the game is boring and wont matter to me as the bet has won and ill turn it off, whereas if i bet the spread and its 3-0 at halftime, the fun is just beginning and the second have will be exciting.


i dont bet to make money, i bet for excitment and fun.
