Nice one Skizz. Good punting fella.

No sign of Punters Advice on here lately. Did he 'do one'?

My bet, odds on cert the prima donna Ingerland tossers make an early exit.
DB10 @ evens to watch the whole 'interlull' thingy to its bitter conclusion, including the closing ceremony.

FACT. :D

Yep TO, yesterday was indeed a bit shite bet-wise. Win some and lose some. Luckily however I put a couple of last minute bets on that saved the day:

Germany v Portugal
Miroslav Klose to score anytime - £10.00 @ 2/1
Did not run - stake returned

Germany to win - £20.00 @ 21/20
Won - return £41.00

Iran v Nigeria
Over 2.5 goals - £5.00 @ 6/5
Lost

Ghana v USA
First half result: Ghana - £3.00 @ 11/5
Lost

Over 2.5 goals - £38.45 @ 23/20
Won - return £82.67

Trixies and Patents - Lost £12.00

End day
Opening balance: £74.31
Stakes: £88.45
Winnings: £133.67
Profit/loss: +£119.53

Mueller first scorer at 11/2 was my highlight yesterday. I would have got double the odds if he had netted the second too :banghead: Still, it's a winner and profit.

Profit is indeed the name of the game! Lumped £20 each way on him being top scorer now, 7/2 the odds with Betfair and they are paying 4 places. Realistically his rivals are Neymar and RVP but he has Ghana and the US to play in the group stage. RVP does have Iran coming up though :rubchin:

I started with 50 quid aiming to get up to a grand by betting me stake and profit each time then withdraw when get to a grand.
Been doing well so far ( mostly goal markets)

Today I've done a double:-
Brazil Mexico over 1.5 goals
Belgium draw no bet
£434.99 on
£587.24 return

Also do some spread betting...bought Belgium superiority at 1.6... (£100 per unit)

Got 9/2 on Belgium, Brazil and Russia earlier, it was a special on the Paddy Power Messenger app, normal price about 5/2. Happy with that.

Good odds...Russians always seem to let me down in the past though so avoided them today.

Ya, great odds! :banghead: :lol:

I said after the first game that if Brazil were to win it out Neymar would need to be top scorer and player of the tournament. He won't and they won't, very average last night I thought.

Bit of an odd day bet-wise yesterday. The accas went out of the window thanks to Brazil (or more specifically Mexico's goalkeeper)

Match result treble: Belgium, Brazil, Russia
£20 @ 3/1
Lost

Belgium v Algeria
Over 2.5 goals £46.67 @ 17/20
Won - return £86.34

End day
Opening balance: £119.53
Stakes: £66.67
Winnings: £86.34
Profit/loss: +£139.20

Not sure what I'm putting on tonight, may do a double related to Holland and Spain.
