Lost 300 quid on Spain spread bet then won 300 on Croatia...best thing Alex Mong has ever done :D

Everything is hard to call today...

Done spread on Colombia Ivory Coast over 2.75 goals at £100 unit.

Also chucked a fiver on treble because coral are offering enhanced 9/1 for
Colombia
England
Japan
Not confident though as I think all 3 games could go either way, although I think England will win today...talking of which..nearly time to go to the pub :) Come on England.

I only ever bet peanuts but my Uruguay to win @5/2 and England to go out at the group stages @5/4 will pay for most of a night out :barscarf:

skizz any chance you can posts your bets on here, before the games are played.

Seems you know your stuff, but it's no good to us, telling us 4 hours later, you had 5 winning bets :D :D

it's a bit like predicting yesterday's weather, :wink:
