    Winning lots of money at the world cup and verious other big sporting events

    Sheepgames is not my only expertise would you believe. Sporting events that happen not very often are a money making dream for people who take sports betting seriously. I went in yesterday to finalise a few bets in a high street bookmaker. I was amazed at the amount of people in there. The type who spend all day thinking they can win on every race!

    It's hilarious.

    I like to share with as many forums/people as possible my bets. That way whoever follows me will have a very happy summer. I don't have any proof but i can 100% assure you that i have made a lot of money from not just the world cup. But also events such as the olympics, european games and many more. This has allowed me to live with a very healthy bankroll.

    So enough of all that. The following is most of the bets i am doing at the world cup. I have invested about €15,000 in these bets. Follow them if you will and have a happy summer

    Good luck punters.

    *For the record i do all my bets with PaddyPower

      Rigger is of course correct. Also if you had experience of posting sports bets you would realise that putting the amount you have bet in Euro and not as points of a bank is usually mugs playing the big time Charlie.

                    Every man and his dog seem to be getting on the Mexicans to topple the hosts in the opener. Have seen them being flagged up by a lot of tipsters and a comrade of mine who works in one of the big firms and said there has been a steady stream of money for them also.

                    Soccer isn't exactly my cup of tea when it comes to betting but i'd be wary of taking on the hosts first game up and history suggests the hosts more often then not equipped themselves quite well. I've just gone back through the last few world cups, the cut off line was 1962 due to laziness, but found that every host from 62 on has made it to the knockout stages including such greats as chile in 62, japan and south korea 98(both actually won their groups) and the yanks in 94 (although they only finished 3rd in the group, but still qualified). And perhaps to a lesser degree Mexico in 70 and 86. Every other host was one of the big guns and would have been expected to do well anyway.
                    I think the advantage of being hosts cannot be under estimated. I know South Africa are no great shakes but Mexico arent exactly world beaters either. I think their respectable showing against a modest england perfomance the other week is getting a tad over hyped. Throw into the mix the old chestnut about the suspect temperament of these latin american teams if their faced with a bit of adversity.

                    Obviously South Africa could lose the first game and still qualify but it would be asking an awful lot. Still having stated all this, what do i know, maybe Mexico 6-4 is value and the host factor isnt really much of a factor after all. Any of the footy experts on here got any thoughts on this game?

                    Sheep i hope some of your many bullets hit, it reads like something you would read in steve palmers betting diary in the rp on sundays. and i know it's already being mentioned but c'mon why did you not shop around and get the best prices, seriously, i mean when in my dream i have 15000 cash ready to go to war with for the world cup i shop around and get all the best prices, why it was only last night at around 4am that i got laid 50-1 on spain in ladbrokes. U should have shopped around in your dream....

                      6/4 on Mexico is value. The host factor is definitely a factor, but South Africa are a really poor team - much, much worse than Japan or South Korea 8 years ago. Add to it that their star player will be sitting in the BBC panel, and they will get beaten today. Also, this Mexico team are quite decent and should be respected.

                      To the OP, I like some of your bets and hate others. Brazil to be top South American team seems like a no-brainer. Ditto for Japan to get nil point, they look awful. However, I would not write off this Australia team so easily, no matter how good Serbia look. This is the last World Cup for their golden generation and they are a very strong outfit.

                        Flying to Spain today on a work related trip but promised myself to post this before i go as i won't have time over there. It's mainly a response to a few of the replies.

                        First of to clear up something. I am not a professional gambler. I have a very successful job as a architect. Now it might not be an out of this world job but i deem it to be successful due to the fact it's what i wanted to do all the way through school. I worked hard and achieved my goal. Although the pay is good, I never would have had the complete freedom i have without sports betting. I don't bet on horses, dogs or even domestic football as these things have simply no value at all in today's sport. People will continue to bet football for enjoyment and i have no problem with that but in the long run if you are serious about it. There is no value. I could quite possibly quit my job and live of sports betting but what on earth would i do with my day! I love my job too much.

                        Now as for sporting events that only come around every now and again. These have serious value as the bookmakers get the pricing all wrong. This is due to the fact that they have nothing to base the results on. I have spent at least 2 hours a day mauling through every specials market PP has to offer and the bets above where the best in my opinion. I could have done a few more but i didn't want to spend more than 15k. This is a huge amount of money i agree but once the world cup is over. I probably won't make another bet until the RWC next year unless there is another big sporting event im forgetting about.

                        As for shopping around for the best prices. I have always bet on PP. Not because of their prices. Not because of their specials. But simply because i always have. I bet in there since the 90s long before betfair and things like that ever came along. Call me stupid but im a big believer in the term 'If it's not broke, don't fix it!'

                        Now as for the bets themselves. I probably should have put up my reasoning. Below are my reasons for each individual bet. Also to the person who replied about the 40/1 on Spain. How on earth did you get that or was it some sort of joke?!

                        Spain to win world cup (4/1) €1000 each way

                        Well this bet speaks for itself. Although they have a terrible record at the WC. They have the best squad of anyone. The have been on amazing form and there is no reason why this group of player can not get to at least the final.

                        Group H to have the most goals (9/2) €500

                        Again this bet is because of Spain. It was a coinflip between Brazil and them as both have a group with 1 very weak team. Spain got my pick in the end because of the fact that Brazil have at least 1 capable team in their group.

                        David villa to be top scorer (9/1) €500 each way

                        L fabiano to be top scorer (12/1) €500 each way


                        Both of these are straigh foward. They have the team behing them to give them great support and could bag quite a lot of goals in the group stages alone. I personally believe (bar injuries) that im guaranteed a return from at least one of them here based on PP's 1/4 odds each way 5 places.

                        Accumulator England (1/3), Brazil (8/13), Spain (1/3) all to win their group. Pays circa (6/4) €2000

                        My joint biggest bet of the tournament and my (nb). Brazil and Spain should win their groups easily and England have a great group stage record at major finals.

                        1st round of matches. England to beat USA (8/15) Spain to beat Switzerland (4/11) pays around (1/1) €1000

                        No reason here why Spain can not demolish the swiss and England should get any butterflies out of the way with a win over the overated team that is the United States.

                        Mexico to beat South Africa (6/4) €800

                        Thanks to the detailed reply above Jack. I always love to hear people's opinion's about these big events. You are quite right about your stats. Mexico however have been in very impressive form. They are well used to the heat and altitude which will be key to doing well at this world cup. I not only think they can easily overcome SA. I also think they can top the group and go on to impress in the knockout stages. The only reason i didn't bet on them to win the group was because of France. While they have been poor, they have a quality group of players in their squad and if they clicked they are a solid match for most teams.

                        SA on the other hand are i believe the lowest ranked team ever to host a WC finals and also one of the lowest ranked teams to ever play. They are also extremely poor and imo will be lucky to score any points in the group stages. The other host nations in previous years all had individual good things about them. The only thing SA have is the home crowd and even that will not be enough to save them.


                        Serbia to beat Ghana (21/20) and Germany to beat Australia (1/2)
                        pays circa (2/1) €500


                        Nothing really to say about this apart from that i fancy it. Germany are good enough to overcome a poor Aussie team and Serbia can beat ghana.


                        2nd round of matches. No bets

                        3rd round of matches. Brazil to beat Portugal (4/5) and serbia to beat Australia (1/1)
                        pays circa (3/1) €500


                        Not much to say here either.

                        South africa to finish bottom of group A (7/5) (€500)

                        I summed this up above in what i said. Lowest ranked team to ever take part and all in all a very poor team.

                        South Korea to finish bottom of group B (1/1) €500

                        Had a great world cup in 2002 but i don't feel they will be able to compete here and will be sent home early with their tail between their legs.

                        Outright straight forecast spain to win/Brazil to come 2nd (20/1) €250

                        Outright straight forecast Brazil to win/spain to come 2nd (22/1) €250


                        Just two bets for fun. Could very well be the outcome.

                        Brazil to be top south american team (8/11) €2000

                        My joint top bet and also my nap of the tournament. I think it would have been worth a bigger bet. The only other team in the running for this would be Argentina and i don't think they have a hope at all. Maradonna scraped through the group stages with a last minute goal. I believe they used 90 players or something during the qualifying and their whole squad seems to be in a mess. Messi never preforms at a world stage and yet again i think he will be a disappointment. Even at his best, he won't be able to get Argentina far on his own so Brazil where the clear picks for this bet.

                        Group forecasts Germany 1st/serbia 2nd (11/4) €800

                        Serbia to get exactly 6 points (5/1) €250

                        Serbia to get exactly 7 points (15/2) €250

                        Japan to get exactly 0 points (5/1) €250


                        The above 4 have to be my worst 4 bets. If i could get my money back for them after thinking about it then i would gladly refund my bets. After reading up and watching a few shows, i really think Serbia could go far in this tournament and certainly could be good enough to beat Germany. I can only hope they slip up again Germany and then i might be in with a chance.

                        The same applies to Japan. I watched a show that was an hour long about them and their built up to the torunament and their motivation seems to be great. Id almost guarantee this bet to be a loser now and may lay some of it off during their 3 matches by betting on draws.


                        Brazil to get exactly 9 points (21/10) €1000

                        Spain to get exactly 9 points (13/8) €1000


                        Great odds offered here by PP. Yes im sure there are better available but i never would have thought i could have got these prices. I expect one of them to come good for a profit.



                        Like i said in the op. I hope some of you do follow these as i have every hope of them winning. Total outlay is €16,350. Let's run good!

                        Good luck everyone.

                          wow!

                          a few of the bets look really good but you have to look for value as the bookies have it sown up otherwise
                          just an example:
                          bet365 have spain at 4/1 with your money back if your team go out on peno's

                          *

                          all the odds, most of the bookies


                          !good luck!

                                  one more example to hopefully explain it to you

                                  not a bet you did but:

                                  PP 45/1 Brazil/ Nth Korea 1st/2nd

                                  couple of others
                                  66/1 Brazil/ Nth Korea 1st/2nd

                                  not if you can afford/are willing to turn down 21 points on a bet you are betting for the wrong reason and should stick to playing roulette imo

                                    Hi Elshambo.

                                    The example you gave above means nothing. I doubt i have even lost 1-2 points on any of my bets with other high street bookmakers but don't worry i get it! There are other more important private reasons i bet with Paddy Power.

                                      because when you arrived you said that you stumbled on this forum while googling for sheepgames. now it turns out you are from Ireland, and you posted on boards, you wish to remain anonymous, and you're totally balla....

                                          Hmm i certainly don't think i ever portrayed that i was balla but how and ever. I'm not getting into an internet argument

                                          Follow the selections if you like. All the best on any other bets you have aswell.

                                                  Maybe I'm wrong so. Was limited on a few Irish football bets, but it might be a global limit for the games rather than me. Will be taking a second look now.

                                                    I find losing alot is a pretty effective way to ensure you will never have a problem getting on.

                                                      ya its nice how they always give you a chance to win money back but try to stop you from losing winning back to them

                                                        I don't know what 15k means to you, but to me that's a fuckload of money to be sticking on any bets, never mind those made with bad information. It's winter in South Africa. Highest daytime temperatures will be 18C. It will not be hot, and countries from hot climates will not benefit.

                                                        Also, this isn't 1986. Professional footballers are at peak physical fitness and have spent the last few weeks acclimatising to the altitude. I'm not saying it won't be a factor, but the altitude will not have the same effect it did in bygone years. You won't see spritely Argentinian players strolling past knackered English defenders who can barely lift their legs to hack them down, that's for sure.

This can also be said for the most successful gambling firms who bet in asia and what not. Alot of people can survive successfully off a 5% edge. So breaking it down, they gamble 100k a year, and they should win 10k . . . This would be considered very good . . .

                                                                          By not betting with the best price available you are turning your nose up on any large % you may (think?) you hold . . . This doesnt even bring into the fact that betfair normally trumps the best high street bookie price by another few %'s. If only doing bets for a bit of fun, then its all good - but if betting large amounts, or actually trying to make an earning from it then doing what you do is just burning money.

                                                                          Why i guess he refers to it as a big time charlie is probably because by defauly people use the "total points" and "bank" system when referring to their bets. This allows you to see how much they like their bet in relevance to the amount of money they have at their disposal. Also it doesnt openly admit the actual figures you have on the bet. This could be viewed as "playing the big time charlie

You where also correct in what you said about how serious full time gamblers would take this in finding best odds and what not. I am not a professional gambler. I do it for side interest in the big sporting events that happen and prehaps i run good but i tend to make a very nice amount of money from it. I would hate to do this for a living as i would think it would cause huge amounts of stress.

                                                                            On to my bets. So far i don't think anyone could have predicted some of the results. I was banking on Fabiano/Villa getting back a large chunk of my money for me but the hat-trick from the German lad has set that back a bit. England also haven't been doing well. Not really sure why i expected they would as their whole team set-up is terrible.

                                                                              ooh look at me I can afford to have 5 grand on this or that

                                                                              2. The important one

                                                                              If I tell you to do a horse, how much do I tell you to put on it
                                                                              $1 $10 $100 $1000

                                                                              The money is meaningless as you do not know if a $10 bet is big or small to me and I don't know if $10 is your food money for the week or a piece of paper you would wipe your arse with

                                                                              if I tell you I put 1pt or 10pts on

                                                                              im not
                                                                              1. bragging (even if not meant) about how much I have
                                                                              and
                                                                              2. (again more important) I am telling you how much I actually fancy the horse and giving you an idea of how to scale the bet to fit you!

They are not reffering to their roll in particular but actually saying what % of their roll and possibly someone else's roll they would put on. So if they say 30 points.

                                                                                For a $100k roll that would be $30k

                                                                                    I'd bet most of them have never heard of betfair let alone points betting

                                                                                      Have a look on the boards betting pages, the amount of people on there who follow tipsters but never the bet sizing of the tipsters is lolbad and they are all wasting their time imo

                                                                                        They don't have the toughest group in the World and could despite playing pretty woeful, if they gel when the time is right they can never be wrote off.

                                                                                        It depends who starts the games, but Higuain is in fantastic form for Real Madrid and is sure to get enough chances to up his goal tally.

                                                                                        Another outsider is Podolski. Those pesky Germans are always in with a shout and @ 50/1, he might be worth a small flutter

                                                                                                                        im just tryin to paint a picture here in regards to to world cup. and that is these guys are not playing in there mundane clubs at home where they are dreaming about playing for man u or chelsea or the like.

                                                                                                                        they are on the biggest stage of all and will do there upmost to beat all in front.

                                                                                                                        germany serbia game again i think there was a lot of professional money lost on it. especially on the preformance of there opener.

                                                                                                                        its the world cup and while ur bet looks good on paper its still the world cup and anything can and usually does happen. argentina to beat greece 4/5 nil at least even i thou that they do that.

                                                                                                                        hope you get back some of ur money on ur remaing bets.
