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

Im saving my money for the Euromillion draw on Friday, is it £105m now?

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




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

Is that a sexual thing?

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

In SPUDMASHER's house.

No

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

*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?

The above would be my question!

And well done Skizz!

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

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

Feeling a little frisky so just did a cheeky sixfold

Germany v Portugal
Iran v Nigeria
Belgium v Algeria
Brazil v Mexico
Australia v Netherlands
Spain v Chile

All over 2.5 goals
£10 @ 30/1
