The Betting Thread

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Yeah i looked at those games too, Real madrid should be fine, but away from home and with really poor odds i didnt take the chance on it, im not convinced Fulham will be overly bothered and could let Stoke in. Its certainly a possible winner though

Also possible that Ronaldo will get 2 or more however i dont think the odds will be up to much

Eventually done the treble with Madrid, Fulham and Citeh. :roll:

There weren't great but i was certain he would grab a couple tonight. 8)

Luckily i backed Lyon and Real Madrid to cover my other accumulator. Just hoping they hold out now. :wink:

Some World cup betting tips now: Back Argentina at 1.52 to be Group B Winner, they still have the players despite Maradona's madness, aslo back Nigeria at 2.1 To Qualify, still inconsistent but should go through.
Winners? For me, Spain, despite their injuries.

I will add these here, I fancy Germany at 14/1

England and USA to both qualify from the group ay 6/5 is a great bet

and i dont think Portugal will make it somehow, so i would back Brazil and Ivory coast to come through group G

Argentina for me at 8/1..good side of the draw and with Messi in the team they have a chance of beating anyone....add Tevez, Cambiasso, Huigan they should go pretty far.....hopefully!!

Argentina to win and Messi top scorer was 150/1 back at xmas........its 33/1 now!!

Just a shame Nelson Vivas or Fabian Cabellero arn't there to help them on their way

I think Brazil at their odds is worth a punt (around 5-1)
