FIFA World Cup 2014 - Brazil

[NewApproach]

Evens Germany dnb. Bang bang.

[Flushdraw]

Benzema was just trolling us all when he scored those early goals. How he hasn't added to his tally of 3, i just don't know ffs.

[FeetMagic]

Can't decide between Colombia win @ 17/4 or to qualify @ 2/1 but definitely getting on Colombia in some way.

Where is that 18s? I was looking for it earlier and couldn't see anything near 18s.

Germany have drifted from 7/5 to 15/8 to win in 90 mins so gonna give that a small punt.

Putting the winnings on Colombia +0.75.

What does +0.75 mean?

[KevIRL]

Why are you talking to yourself?

[TheJiggaman]

Brazil in 90 mins & Over 2.5 goals @ 11/8

[hotspur]

Betting more than I should on Brazil to win the corner match bet at not very good odds (4/9).

[kaiser soze]

Does Rodrigues take the penos for Colombia

[eamonhonda]

4/1 is a great price

[careca]

just once I;d love to see one of the managers point at the big screen and start waving, when they are shown.

[TheJiggaman]

Brazil in 90 mins & Over 2.5 goals @ 11/8

That'll do

[Jam-Fly]

Took James Rodriguez at 2.8 to be Golden Boot winner (on Betfair, so Golden Boot, not Top Goalscorer [tiebreakers being assists then less minute played]). Thoughts?

[PEACEBROTHER]

Didn't ITV say that before today's game as of FIFA ratings David LUiz was best player
Not sure who decides who wins ???

[Opr]

Neymar gone to hospital. Pinch of salt obviously but Scolari says he's out for the next game. Thiago Silva suspended. Surely have to lumping Germany at 21/10?

[Flushdraw]

Just backed 'Same amount of goals in the NED/CRC and ARG/BEL games' at 39/11 and Germany to beat Netherlands in the final at 11/1. That's my lot for the World Cup now!

[Jibzzzz]

Took a bit of Di Maria most assists @18/1 and player of tourney @34/1.
Went for Fred top goalscorer @20/1 and James Rrodriguez e/w @100/1 is very decent value.

Also on Argentina now too @4/1

Decent sweat on the above, one time please.

[Dice75]

Neymar out of WC.

[Flushdraw]

Neymar out of WC.

Yeah that was confirmed last night. It really helps my Rodriguez player of the tournament bet too. Argentina to get dumped out tonight would be fantastic, or at least Messi have a stinker. Tempted to lay Robben for chunks too. Surely after admitting he dived, they won't give it to him?

Need him to hold Top 4 for €450. Although think he's currently joined with 5 players so its diluted already with RVP & Robben right behind too. Sigh.

[Wesley Harms]

The FIFA rankings had David Luiz in first spot before last night games, and then he's scored.

Anyway too likely the winner of the tournament will produce the player of the tournament, Argentina win Messi is 1.01, Holland win and Robben probably gets it. Think Rodriquez is a long shot

At the prices now after the adjustments, Brazil are overpriced imo.

This hasn't happened since 1994 so not sure. Yeah heard that on ITV last night about Luiz, no idea what that's all about lol. It has been awarded to a player from the host team 4/6 times when they won the World Cup though. Funking for Oscar at 50s on that basis. He started off well, but has been off the pace the last couple of games.

Lol if Brazil win they might still give it to Neymar

[eamonhonda]

tonights money will be lost on....

Messi wincast
Over 2.5 on both games
Argentina/argentina
Netherlands/netherlands

[hotspur]

Messi wincast

I have Messi in a losecast.

Very bullish about Belgium.

I'm doubted myself after the bet, Belgium have some class in them. I'll stand by it though

[eamonhonda]

Demichelis is on, strange feeling for kompany not to have to cover for him all game I'd say

[TheDrunkenOne]

placed bet on shirt numbers instead of goals in a spread bet. bigger risk and letting it ride

oops

fingernail stuff now lol

Did you buy or sell, and what was the line?

[TheDrunkenOne]

bought @27 but sold when goal was scored early for a wee profit. Couldnt hold on, thankfully! so far....

[hotspur]

Costa Rica are overpriced in corner match bet imo.

[Opr]

Wijnaldum anytime at 8-1 on BF exchange for some interest in the game. Decent return at club level although his role isn't nearly as attacking in this side.

Opr

[shano1888]

Holland to win 4-3 and 3-2. I've gone stone cold retard here.

[Jam-Fly]

anyone fancy Holland -1 or -2 here? Think they could hammer Costa Rica here, Holland's strengths would seem to match well with Costa Rica's weaknesses

[bohsman]

Nederlands -1 AH, just think the Dutch counterattack will be too strong and the Greek game was Costa Ricas cup final.

[The Situation]

With Costa Rica to score anytime @ 10/11and Campbell anytime @ 9/2.

[TheDrunkenOne]

taking punt buying shirt numbers @12 during extra time

players tired and should open up

plz

Quick explanation of this if it's not too complicated?

[Flushdraw]

Quick explanation of this if it's not too complicated?

Don't think it's a great bet here. Goalscorers shirt numbers need to add up to 12+ to get paid, depending on how much per point you buy. There's only 20.Wijnaldum, 15.Kuyt , 17.lens on the Dutch side that will get you paid, and 22.Cunero, 15.Diaz and 21.Urena for the Costa Ricans, or else he'll need a combo of 2+ goals.

[TheDrunkenOne]

this

for the cmon to fuck roar at tv lol

taking punt

[Flushdraw]

^^^ Huntelaar coming on helps!

[eamonhonda]

12 being the even spread with overs and unders?

[Flushdraw]

12 being the even spread with overs and unders?

Yeah, pretty sure.

If Huntelaar was to score twice (19 x 2), then Stan would win 26 points so if he bought at €10 a point, that's €260 profit.

[TheDrunkenOne]

ooops.....

selling penalties now @7.3

costa rica scored well last penalty shootout but going for the no one can score this match mindset

I knew there was a reason I stopped spread betting years ago

[hotspur]

Is anyone making a profit in this tournament? Despite positive start it's been getting steadily worse for me. Down 20 points atm.

Great 1st week. Brutal since. Neymar to hold ew & Argies to win for a k profit, otherwise a write off.

was going well till knock out stage.

long term on goals scored and headed goals took a big dive plus it took a while before I realised in game markets bookings were dragging points down.

backing favs could have been good only they only scraping through and spreads giving them +1 plus every game

oh and losing atm a few £ but reckon destiny will make it a brazil/argentina final and will punt for that

heart > brain

Great first 10 days or so, been so shit since. That ref from tonight holding almost all me eggs in his basket to ref the final. Seemed like an ok performance. Got Geiger backed too at 16/1.

Can still turn a nice profit if things go well. These are unlikely...Higuain/Fred top scorer bets, Ozil most assists, Origi young players, but more hopeful for Rodriguez/Oscar player of the tournament, and Germany/Holland forecast.

Similarly to others started out fairly ok-ish with MOM bets and under cards/over goals.

Went big-ish on Italy dnb vs Uruguay and I think England -1 or something and since then it's been bad. Favourites all looking shit but going through in every knockout match so far has been prob been a big factor.

Benzema tgs looked great for a while. Only other outrights I have are Rodriguez (and Neuer maybe) for golden ball.

Haven't had a bet on it since Brazil vs Chile, couldn't see past the overs and put my tank on it. I guess at 5/6 i would take the same bet again if the match was on again today. The only other game that was really costly to me was Nigeria vs Iran when I went in heavily again on Nigeria at 21/20 at halftime.

[FeetMagic]

Like most down a fair bit after a great start. Some great sweats along the way with Benzema, Chile & Colombia backed outright. Australia to get 0 my biggest win. Last bet is Germany to beat Brazil in 90 to deepen the hole or break even.

[Jibzzzz]

Also down a bit after a great start.
Still sweating James for the big profit and Argies in the outright.
Such an unbelievable world cup doh.

[The Situation]

Yeah smashed it early in the tournament, beat the spread in 80% of the group games I played, took a timely holiday were I did feck all punting, should have extended it a day as yesterday was awful. Chile and Benzema hurt, but Argies outright still pending, should probably green out on that as no real confidence but will give it some more thought. Think Brazil look the value right now.

[Opr]

Pretty much the same story as everyone. I know hindsight is a great thing but thinking about it really should have been betting the under almost blindly since the group stages. I'm sure the under was overpriced just due to the nature of how the tournament has gone. Should have expected the games would tighten up considerably in the knockout round. Even if you didn't then it became obvious after watching a few games. Generally in the big fav matches the under was odds against but as Sit mentioned a bit earlier in the thread, it has been much easier for the team that come to defend to sit in, break up play etc due to the way games are being refereed. 10/12 games have gone under. Maybe I'm being results oriented but it just makes so much sense thinking about it now.
