Intro
Hey guys, I'm using the forum to track my World Cup plays, the reason for the thread & as the title suggests without sounding too arrogant is to help my fellow peeps who don't follow the day-to-day ongoings of the domestic soccer calender & the European scale along with other factors. Most like to bet the World Cup for fun, granted no one likes losing money at the expense.
Most of you are Americans, soccer is way down the list for you guys I don't blame you for not being a book worm in soccer knowledge, statistics, trends etc, one thing we could agree on is the expert knowledge and experience in reading lines & odds you guys bring to the forum, having gambled and analyzed my fair share of World Cups I'm giving this a go, tail me track me troll me drink with me its all good, I want this thread to show discipline and to be clear cut so I can track accessibly & analyze my work.
Best of luck to you boys, I know England have no chance to lift the trophy! As a fan I will be supporting but as a degen my moneys going nowhere near them.

Thomas Muller (Germany) +2800 Wager .5U
Germany are playing the best football out of all teams, they have a solid defense and an amazing attack, Uruguay love playing in Brazil, Cavani for me will perform at this world cup and support Suarez.
RVP should get 2-4 goals in this group if you think about Australia he might get 4 against them! Few more I could easily see 6-7 goals in this WC for him, he had a terrible season but hes too good not to score vs Australia's & Chile's defense this is why I've gone big for top team scorer for Holland no one in that team can covert at RVPs rate.
Drmic is excellent value I'm a little concerned about lack of tournament experience but I don't see anyone in that Switzerland team to challenge him, do not like Ghana's chances good value to finish bottom, Korea are a very underrated side and should surprise a few people.
I think Nigeria could shock a few people taking a punt for them to reach the QF, for me Chile & Croatia won't progress just my opinion on the basis of foundation within there respective roster.
If Holland win the group they might face Mexico or Cameroon I fancy them for that with +250 for them to reach the QF I'll take that.
I'll go into more depth for these choices later, I hope I've got some idea how the tournament will fare with my selections, BOL.
Opening Game
Brazil vs Croatia:-
Full Time Result (Brazil) -300 Wager to Win 2U
Under 2.5 Goals +105 Wager 2U
Brazil will have to come out with all guns blazing for the opening game, Croatia will be a little tense parking the bus not wanting to concede too early, both teams will want a feel for each other, the pressure is on for Brazil its why I picture a 1-0 late winner for them they will snatch it I'm sure they will win I have 6 Units on them, relying on the away team to hold there own for the under hoping to secure the Brazil result and playing the under as bonus.
