I don't think the games today are that clear cut really. I have a feeling I'm going to have a bet free day today.

Maybe put £2 on something mad like:

Russia v South Korea DRAW
Belgium v Algeria BELGIUM
Brazil v Mexico DRAW

Did you ever go for this? If not I bet you're wishing you did now lol.
 
Thanks Brazil!! Bet that messed up a lot of accumulators.

Had South Korea/Russia Draw and Mexico to win. would have been a very nice return. So close!
 
To sidetrack from this world cup malarky I've done a horse double today

Mustajeeb & Tiggy Wiggy at Royal Ascot
 
Yesterday was a diaster, lost about a 3rd of my bank because of Brazil and Russia, two teams who should have performed better. It has given me insight into round 2 of the groups though.
 
Lost my free bet :(, cheers Brazil!

Still £2 up. So going to keep it in, and see what I come away with at the end of the WC

Post Racing is awesome for horse racing btw. Not tips but handicap figures for charity.

At least it seems the guy is genuine etc, I`m sure he puts a lot of work into his ratings.Do you subscribe?, maybe you can let us know how it goes over Royal Ascot.

My MO is form study, I ignore any tips (a lifetime of watching tips fail has led me to that lol), common sense and knowing when to go for a large stake. Kingman yesterday was sticking out a mile imho, as is Treve today, I never bet odds on tho.
 
Thinking of a Holland/Spain/Croatia treble today. My only hesitation is the Spain match.

What to do. What to do.....
 
There's not a load of value out there for me today, at least not on 666bet. So I just put £5 on this treble, returns £44.05:

Netherlands -2 Asian Handicap @ 2.05
Cameroon and Croatia both to score @ 1.91
Spain to score in both halves @ 2.25

Also done £5 on Netherlands to win and other 2 matches to draw. Might as well after last nights! Returns £97.88

This could well be 2 losing days on the trot, but the odds seem so small after the first round I'm reluctant to get too involved. I am seriously tempted by the Netherlands -2 Handicap though!

-2 Asian Handicap for Netherlands is basically the match starts with Netherlands losing 2-0. The bet wins if Netherlands win by a more than 2 goals, so 3-0 basically. If Netherlands win by 2 goals e.g. 2-0, I believe the bet gets voided on Asian Handicap markets.

Standard Handicap markets I don't think the draw counts as a 'void'.

That's my understanding of it anyway, I might be wrong.

It just simply means you're giving the team you're betting on a deficit or a lead, depending on if you bet + or - of course. So like the -2 bet posted above, this will give the Netherlands a virtual 2 nil deficit against Australia at the start of the game, and you're betting that they will overcome it and win. So, for this bet (-2) to win, it'd have to finish 3-0 at the least.

Edit: Oops, too late ha

Anyway, what do people reckon to 8-0 Netherlands at 200/1? :p

What are the odds on a Robben hat trick? I would be tempted with that if they weren't too bad.
