    99 World Cup bets

    I'm looking at doing majority of these bets before the World Cup starts. Any of them akin to burning money are they all ok. Not sure of what odds yet, so will need to see which ones offer a little value.

    I also really like backing Serbia to win the World Cup and laying them off once they make it out of the group, hopefully!

      I wont be doing them all. Some will probably offer very little value so unless i'm lumping on, i'll just leave it alone. Might also go for a few doubles and trebles to bump them up a bit.

      Thinking of working off a 300 point bank or something

        i think any bet you have said with new zealand in it is good, but i would imagine they are no price at all, i would be wary of north korea as people have little or no info on them, i feel they could pull off one shock result as the other teams have little/no scouting info on them

        i also think uruguary are not to be underestimated, i watched a few of their games in qualifiers and they seem to have a good mix of youth and expierence, although i do agree with the +2.5 goals in their games with suarez and forlan in the side not to mention their playmaker loderio of ajax has the potential to be world class imo, he was excellent in the copa liberadores last year for his club prior to moving to europe

            Of course the prices are out for those bets and quite a few of the other ones. I was just looking through different games and bets and pulled out the ones i might fancy.

            Villa at about 10/1 and Fabiano at about 12/1 are good shouts i think. The other 3 just speak for themselves and are probably shoe ins

              My suggestion is to not do any scorer bets. There is a very high luck element in who scores.
              My only bet in this market is Lukas Podolski for top scorer. He is in a team likely to play many games, and was a high price.

              I have read that countries that suffered recent disasters outperform. Greece and Chile had setbacks this year.
              Big population > small population. Big GDP > small GDP. Big experience > small experience.
              The world football core (original EC members minus Luxembourg: France, Italy; Belgium; Netherlands; Germany) will interest me in single matches.

              I try to avoid samba football.

                with spains likely route to the final i think they are better value to win at shorter odds than brazil and also because of this villa really should have the golden boot wrapped up by the semis. I cant pick between spain and brazil in the final so think the best bets are villa top scorer and a spain v brazil final. it will be hard to spot the value elsewhere and i wont be touching any english games. low volume bigger % betting is the way to go with WC imo.

                    Yes, Ive backed the 2 of them along with Serbia for those purposes.

                      Villa is 10/1 to win the golden boot!? I may have to get something on that

                      Wow you can get 20/1 on Higuain...That has to be a good bet, despite Argentina being a shambles

                        Van Persie to be top scorer @ 33/1 is good value imo. I reckon the Dutch are in with a serious chance of getting quite far and he's their main threat.

                          Argentina have a good chance of wrapping up the golden boot in the group stages.

                            They'll be useless imo, Maradona isn't fit to manage them and they'll be a massive flop. Thinking of having a sizable lay on them to win it.

                              They are playing alright lately and you cannot write a team like them off when they meet Nigeria, Korea and Greece.

                              Spain have Switzerland, Honduras and and Chile.

                              Higuain and Villa for golden boot is tastyish.

                                I've no doubt they'll get through their group at all, Once they get to the KO rounds that's when we'll see the poor Argentina team I've witnessed throughout the qualifying campaign. Might wait until they sail through the group and see who else is left in then lay the shit outta them.

                                Hollands group isn't simple but I fancy RvP to get around 3 in it, Maybe two against Japan and one elsewhere and then who knows. He's overpriced in my opinion anyways.

                                  Argentina are in a tough group. I'll do a post up next week on my thoughts I can tell you that South Korea are a team I think are really underestimated. Their league is by far the strongest in Asia, lot of really good defenders and midfilders, only worry they have is up front imo. They will be very hard to beat imo. The Nigerians are capable of anything on any given day, you just don't know what you are going to get from them. Greece are the wild card, they may be very weak but you just know that they will be very hard to score against.

                                  I can't see a top scorer coming out of that group.

                                  Spains have one weak team in their group, imo probably the second weakest team in the World Cup in Honduras but Chile and Switzerland are both very good sides. Switzerland won the group Greece were in and they have a great record in the group stages of the World Cup, Chile were very impressive in qualifying and its hard to know exactly how good they are.

                                  I've said already that I'm certain the top scorer will come out of Group F. Italy and Paraguay will both thump New Zealand, I can't say enough about how weak New Zealand are. Slovakia are hard to judge but I don't think they are that strong defensively having conceded on average 1 goal per game in qualifying.

                                    it would be interesting to see what peoples opinions are on the actual odds v their thinking on the fair odds for each of their suggestions.

                                      Chile were pretty average I thought. Switzerland came out of a group of crap. They all played terribly. Luxembourg even beat them in qualifying in Switzerland! Honduras will be muck. Spain will hop of that group comfortably.

                                      Argentina's group has the other crap team out of the Swiss group, Greece. Not great. Nigeria and S.Korea will both be brushed aside without too much trouble.

                                        WC points - Win=4, 2nd=3,3rd=2,4th=1

                                        I read a book recently called "Why England Lose". There were a few interesting statistics in it. Football success is linked to population size, GDP, matches played.

                                        I decided to get some facts from the CIA world factbook, add in the number of world cup matches played (total matches hard to get), and put in "World Cup points" - my stat giving points for 1st; 2nd; 3rd; 4th place finishes. On the right are the current FIFA rankings.

                                        The Pearson Coefficeient gaves a positive link between current FIFA rankings and population (more is better); GDP (more is better, but slightly dodgy positive as more population, more GDP linked); World Cup games played in previous tournaments. A zero Pearson would be no link between the figures, a 1 would be total link e.g. the bigger population wins every time, a -1 would be smaller population wins every time. A 0.2 is a good positive.

                                        Portugal have a high FIFA ranking, but low population, low WC games, low WC "points". A lay when they meet a power?
                                        I had to make some decisions making up the "stats". Do I give Serbia the "points" won by Yugoslavia? I didn't. Serbia another lay?

                                        OK, I know the USA has a high population and are not the best, but you get the idea.
