Had a £1 bet on Switzerland 1-1, France 3-0 and Argentina 2-1 the other day. Damn that last Swiss goal, would have had £330

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.
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!

I don't understand the handicap stuff, could someone please explain it?
-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.
Soldato
Ok thanks.
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?

What are the odds on a Robben hat trick? I would be tempted with that if they weren't too bad.
25/1 on Bet365. Could happen!
