World Cup Betting Thread

Post by RoscommonGooner »

Not long to go now, anyone got any fancies? I think I'm going to do a couple of group dual forcast accas.

Group A
Brazil/Croatia 6/5

Group B
Spain/Holland 1/1

Group C
Colombia/Ivory Coast 2/1

Group E
France/Equador 2/1

Group F
Argentina/Bosnia 5/6

Group G
Germany/Portugal 4/6

Group H
Belgium/Russia 1/1

Thinking of doing a few 4-folds made up of a mixture of the above.

Also going to do a couple of Group winners accas made up of Brazil, Spain, Colombia, France,
Argentina, Germany and Belgium.

Good luck if you're having a bet :barscarf:

Brazil to win the world cup

100/30 get on, because they won't be that price when they get to the final. You can then either let your bet ride, or cash out for a small profit

:barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:


might have a second bet on Neymar to be top goal scorer

If you add the words "gerbal", "blood loss", "violent" and "Anal" in there, in any order, than it would be.

In SPUDMASHER's house. :lol: :wink:

No :cussing:

Another bet I like is Brazil to exit (the tournament) at the semi stage, 9/2 with Paddy Power :lol: :wink:

*I do think this is a good bet though

Good punting mate. I'm confused though, what are the 7 patents and 4 trixies on? :?

I wrote that like a bit of an idiot, almost confused myself as well :lol:

A Patent is a 3 selection wager that consists of 3 singles, 3 doubles and a treble (so seven bets in total)

A trixie is a 3 selection wager - 3 doubles and a treble (4 in total)

I always chuck a quid to cover all the outcomes of them so if 2 come in you get a bit more profit for a small amount (longer odds).

Given today has been the most difficult day to predict I think I may come out at a loss :S
