World Cup Bets

Betfair is well confusing. :(

Had an accumulator including the Holland and Brazil fixture. I want to check it in my account but it's disappeared from my 'Current Bets' and 'Betting History'? :confused:

I just want my £25 back and call it a night lol. I've lost too much this world cup. :p

As it was 5am I'll assume on the betting history yuo either didn't change the time period to display or settled bets. I personally find betfair a lot better than most other bookies as they provide so much more info.

Yeah i agree it is confusing I'm going to stick to ladbrokes and William hill.

I've sent betfair a email asking where my refunded first bet is as that was there promotion.


Think i'm going to go for today


Argentina vs Germany Argies to win
Paraguay vs Spain Spain to win
Uruguay vs Holland Holland to win

£10 = £55 return if it comes off

Damn Germans!
 
42/1

Holland - won
Germany - won
Uruguay - lost (didn't win in 90 mins)
Spain

1 game left to go, and I would've had £420. Shame Uruguay didn't win the 90 minutes :(
 
So, I put money on there to be 9 corners in the Argentina/Germany game.

William Hill have now told me they shouldn't have really taken the bet as there were no prices for it. They are now searching for a price to give me.
Grrr.
 
OK, just popped back to the shop. They aren't paying it. The best they can do is pay out the odd on a bet with 1 - 10 corners or 11+. And that's even money.

Thinking about it, shoulda just kept the slip and pressed them over the phone for a price. Meh.

EXACTLY 9 corners? For a bit of a guide, Stan James usually offer:

Under 9 11/10
Exactly 9 7/1
Over 9 10/11 or 5/6.

I'd want 7/1 minimum on that. Why did they accept the bet in the first place? Shocking. I had a similar case a while ago, stood there until they paid up and they did. £123.75 I won and they handed over £15.. :rolleyes:

In fact, this is for the Spain game:

Under 10 10/11
Exactly 10 15/2
Over 10 11/10
 
Pretty stupid they did accept the bet. I wrote down "Argentina V. Germany. 03/07/2010. 9 Corners" and put my stake in the box at the bottom.
Live and learn. Always ensure you get a price when placing a bet.
I didn't lose any money, as I got even money, so not all that bad.

Are you really happy with evens on a 7/1 shot? I wouldn't be.
 
£10 on David Villa @ 11/4 First goal of the match

Nice one.

From the start of the tournament I've had:

Golden boot -Villa £25 at 9.4
Winners- Germany £5 at 11.5
Winners- Spain £10 at 5.0

Sweepstake at work - £5 Uruguay (£5 for 4th, £10 for 3rd, £20 for 2nd, £45 for 1st)

Holland, Sneijder or Klose can really ruin the world cup for me. Villa is my big bonus this month, gotta hope he at least shares it.
