WORLD CUP BETTING: THE 'LONG-GAME' THREAD
StrumSolo > 11/06/2014, 15:27
I'm normally a fierce man for an acca, but with 3 or 4 group matches happening every day for the next couple of weeks I reckon a steady flow of single, outright predictions might be the way forward here. Who needs Hollywood windfalls when your balance is (hopefully) creeping up by the day?
£10 starting pot, enough for a £2 stake on each of Thursday and Friday's games, plus a £2 buffer to ensure that, worst case scenario (though I doubt I'm that shit), it's not all over before the weekend. All being well, that initial tenner will be the only outlay of the summer.
So then, predictions.
THURSDAY
Brazil v Croatia: £2 on the Brazil win at 1/3 pays £2.67.
FRIDAY
Mexico v Cameroon: £2 on the Mexico win at 13/10 pays £4.60.
Spain v Holland: £2 on the draw at 12/5 pays £6.80.
Chile v Australia: £2 on the Chile win at 4/9 pays £2.89
If all goes to plan I'll be sat on £18.96 by Saturday morning, ready for the next lot of fixtures.
Who's with me?

I've thrown a £30 bet on Edin Dzeko to get the golden boot at 66/1. He's the ONLY goalscorer for B&H, and they're up against the likes of Iran... worth a shout! haha -

Colombia and Ivory Coast came through Saturday, England and Uruguay did not!
Mixed one yesterday too. Called the Ecuador win and Argentina with a -1 handicap, neither of which where any good. France with the -1 stopped it being a complete write-off though.
Sitting on just under £12 now, so still in profit!
Today's games.
Germany v Portugal: £2 on the Germany win at 20/21 pays £3.90
Iran v Nigeria: £2 on the Nigeria win at 10/11 pays £3.82
Ghana v USA: £2 on the Ghana win at 6/4 pays £5.
Come on!

It was all downhill after Germany. Back where I started (just about), £10.06 in the pot. Need a good one...
Predictions for today's games:
Brazil v Mexico: £2 on Brazil with a -1 handicap at 10/11 pays £3.82
Belgium v Algeria: £2 on Belgium with a -1 handicap, also 10/11, pays £3.82
Russia v South Korea: Not so sure about this one. £1 on the draw at 5/2, £3.50
Come on you bastards!

Brazil, and Belgium (sort of), fucking useless!
At least Russia and South Korea had my back. Only put a quid on that though so the balance is down to £8.56 now. Hopefully today's games will put it back in profit...
Holland v Australia: £2 on the Dutch with a -2 handicap at 17/10 pays £5.40
Spain v Chile: £2 on Spain with a -1 handicap (bit risky?) at 13/10 pays £4.60
Cameroon v Croatia: Don't fancy the handicaps, and Croatia are pretty short at 8/13. Lets call it a quid, £1.62 payout.
Fingers crossed...
