World Cup Bets

I cant believe that people see bets with bigger odds as being "better".

The guys doing accas are food and drink for bookies.

Haha. True. I now have £176 left of my original winnings. If Argentina comes in tomorrow I will claw the £100 back and then some. I only ever bet during WC's, so might as well explore my whole range of financial emotions once ever 4 years

I was thinking £20 on....

Germany to Qualify @ 1/1
Brazil to win in 90 @ 8/15
Holland to win in 90 @ 4/9

Odds of 3.42/1 on Bet365

We're 8/11 to qualify? That does surprise me.

My Forlan and van Persie bets (top scorer e/w) better start to look better soon

lol the opposite is true also, thats why i said it.

the chances of constantly winning are a lot lower than losing.

bookies arent goldmines for no reason, the same goes for casino's

I've bet on Germany to go through.

Good day whatever happens.

Forlan should score a couple against Ghana easily.

LOL yes you do have a point...betting is always a risk especially when you bet big...you either win big or lose big.

But today i made a nice killing on the Germany England match...stuck a cheeky £100 on Germany to win last night through betfair who were offereing odds of 3.1 for germany to win...cha ching £310 profit made plus my £100 stake...nice result for me but you had to be crazy to not take odds like that...was quite shocked that the guys on betfair were backing england to win...

Hopefully make some more money on Argies to win....put £310 that i won just now on Argies to win...nets me £210 on the current odds betfair are offering...again just using my profit i made today.

jrodga2k5 · 27 Jun 2010 at 18:24

Small bet today....

£10 on Germany to Qualify @ 11/10 and Argentina to Win @ 4/6

£35 returns....come on Argentina

Also £10 on Higuain to score at anytime @ 13/10

£23 returns

and £5 on Higuain to score 2 or more @ 7/1

£40 returns

Braver man than me. :eek:

Have you not thought that they might draw and go to ET/pens?

Shamikebab · 27 Jun 2010 at 18:56

Spawn you have some brass balls man! How much did you lose on putting Italy to beat Paraguay?

LOL yep and ive protected myself against that eventuality as well

The way i look at it is that if Argies win in normal time im £210 richer coupled with the £310 stake i put down...which puts me up £520 for today...not bad at all...if Argies go out then im just down £310 which is my winnings for today...not touching my other balance really...so its no big deal for me...today was a bonus day betting with the Germans winning and thats only due to the stupidly good odds i was getting on betfair last night.

Italy and paraguay??...they never played did they??...oh sorry they did lol...didnt bet on that match as at the time they played im pretty sure i was doing an accumilator...its only been start of this week that ive started my betfair in running betting...last time round 2006 i ended up making £2500 with £100 put in to start with...but thought id try the accumilators first this time...didnt work really.

Not really sure how much i lost on each but i know Italy and Paraguay both combined cost me close to £250 but i managed to claw some of that back.

Anyhow im only using what i won today ie £310 from the German game...so if i lose or win im still up regardless....only have 2 more games to bet on then im calling it quits...hell i could lose everything by monday but if im down to my last £100 then ill just withdraw that as thats what i started out with...my safety is £100...so either way ill either be up or ill end up just starting with the original £100

el_dazza · 27 Jun 2010 at 19:16

So you only started with £100? If so that's not too bad then, I thought you'd lost a fair bit but turns out not!

I did earlier in the week with some results not going my way but thats how it goes.

.

What an awesome day of betting for me
