chrisobee Posted 11 June, 2010 Share Posted 11 June, 2010 Got a quid on Pienaar 2-2 in the first game....40/1 I hope Pienaar scores, he's in my Metro team ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 11 June, 2010 Share Posted 11 June, 2010 If in doubt, look at each of the squads on paper. France's squad looks excellent, they're just hampered by a retarded manager. Not helped by the fact Henry and Co run the team and that is why big reason I wouldn't take 11/10 on France to win their group never mind the fact they have only won one group game in the last 2 WC's.

Dark Munster Posted 11 June, 2010 Share Posted 11 June, 2010 If in doubt, look at each of the squads on paper. France's squad looks excellent, they're just hampered by a retarded manager. The same manager who had them beat Spain, Brazil and Portugal, and got them to the final last time. (Not that I disagree about the retarded bit).

saintkiptanui Posted 12 June, 2010 Share Posted 12 June, 2010 After winning a few quid on the horses yesterday I decided I had to back Spain to win it, had 50 notes on at 4/1. Don't like backing against England but can't see anyone beating Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish fingers Posted 12 June, 2010 Share Posted 12 June, 2010 Got a few quid yesterday. I had 1-1 in the opening game and a double on two draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintkiptanui Posted 12 June, 2010 Share Posted 12 June, 2010 Well done fishy, I fancied two draws as well but decided against it. I've got a bet on the group qualifiers, if Mexico Greece Slovenia Ghana Denmark Paraguay Portugal Chile all qualify for a tenner I win £2358.22. This will not happen.

Legod Third Coming Posted 13 June, 2010 Share Posted 13 June, 2010 I've just had a simple each way on Holland for interest. 12/1 about three weeks back, and now 8/1 best price, so at least I got value!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 13 June, 2010 Share Posted 13 June, 2010 (edited) Ghana might be value today against Serbia if they hit their straps. They aren't the favourites but have a lot of potential that will come out at some point..... Edited 13 June, 2010 by Kingsbridge Saint not tonight, today to you as I am in Oz!

Verbal Kint Posted 13 June, 2010 Share Posted 13 June, 2010 Have previously backed Holland for major tournaments but their defence just isn't good enough. England and Argentina as well as Holland are all horrible value. Spanish squad on paper is clearly superior to everyone else and they proved at the euros that they have what it takes. 4/1 might be decent value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 14 June, 2010 Share Posted 14 June, 2010 Just small bets for added interest: Holland v Denmark Team to ‘Win To Nil’ : Holland @ 11/8 Japan v Cameroon Total booking points : 50 or less @ 4/6 with BETFRED Italy v Paraguay Time of the first goal : 29th minute or before @ 11/10 with StanJames Italy v Paraguay Under 10.5 corners @ 4/6 with StanJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 15 June, 2010 Share Posted 15 June, 2010 Had Germany to score four or more goals at 7/1 the other day, but then wasted my money by stupidly betting on Italy to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut Posted 22 June, 2010 Share Posted 22 June, 2010 I reckon Mexico and Uruguay could give the French a hard time and at around 11/10 to win the group I'd be swerving France. Good shout there. When was the last time the favs all won the qualifying groups? So many people accum up the favs and think they are buying money. T'ain't that simple though. As an aside just how much must the bookies be up already in this tourny? England 0 Algeria 0 must have been an absolute skinner for them. Then today's CERTAIN DRAW wasn't - even those not believing it would be fixed were mainly backing Mexico! A 2nd road accy of all the favs to go through? Gotta be done ain't it!

Gordon Mockles Posted 22 June, 2010 Share Posted 22 June, 2010 I've not been able to predict anything so far. Even had Torres as next scorer Mon night, then he got bloody subbed. Have tenner on Rooney golden boot & Spain to win @ 45/1 with bet365. Also did a few top scorers (Tevez @ 33/1, Ronaldo...) Think only Ronaldo has scored. Only once in a 7-0. Arghhh!!!! Got Gerrard first scorer tomorrow (bet it'll be Lampard as he bet on him last time). 3-0 result to us. COME ON ENGLAND!! Also, Ghana 2-1 @ 20/1 & USA 3-1 @ 16/1. Unlikely but gotta go for decent odds! Didn't put much on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 22 June, 2010 Share Posted 22 June, 2010 Well, South Korea mucked up my accy today - could've won £40 which would have been nice Glasto money! Ah well. The only bets i've still got going are Miroslav Klose for Golden Boot (11/1) and Germany (9/1), Brazil (9/2) or Italy (16/1) to win the WC. Only got a quid left in my William Hill account as well, so i'll have to spend that wisely. Any tips anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisobee Posted 4 July, 2010 Share Posted 4 July, 2010 Rarely bet on football, almost never on long term markets where you either lose early or your money is tied up until the outcome in known. Had a few match bets as above purely for extra interest, otherwise the only thing I was sure of was that I didn't fancy France at all though the problems were there for all to see. Certainly would never have predicted all 4 semi-finalists, Spain and Holland yes, Germany maybe, Uruguay never ! Somewhat surprised Spain are actually favourites to beat Germany though not at all surprised you can get 11/2 on Uruguay to beat Holland in 90 minutes.

Where did you get those odds? I've got Germany at 14s and Klose e/w at 33's. Did a few bets with a mate on the Ladbrokes deal - bet 1 x £5 bet and get 4 x £5 bets free. Also on Villa at 8s, Spain 4s, Holland 9s. Pulled uruguay in the sweep at work and, the final bonus, had a few entries on the 'sure for men' quarter final sweep. Put the code on the can into the website and you get a team. Had about 10 cans (no bo problem!!) and, as you would expect, got my fair share of crap, but also pulled Uruguay and Spain. £15 each as they're in the semis. Beaten finalist is £25, winner £50. Pretty happy with that lot...although had a few turkeys - Crouch and Robinho top scorers. Argentina and Brazil as winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
