    pound the hell out of it. Teams like Australia, Iran, will get beaten by cricket scores. Costa Rica, Honduras, a coupke of others will get ripped also. Brazil will smash Cameroon, if they even board the plane!

    Dude you are dreaming, teams like CRica and Honduras will play "anti-football": everybody on D and try to break some legs in the process. There are no Tahiti's at the WC, except maybe Iran. Without prior research I would not bet that prop.

    Every world cup there are floggings. Anti football doesnt always mean rubbish sides will not get flogged. If youre saying it will go under say it and dont beat around the bush.

    I am saying that making sweeping statements that it will go over without any research is stupid and anybody who decides to take that bet just based on your post is an idiot. Also, the pitch quality is suspect in some arenas.

    You assumed I didnt research it. Thats a mistake on your behalf. As I said, if you think it will go under state that don't leave the door ajar so you can say you were right either way.

    Put up or shut up bitch.

    LOL, a typical SBR idiot. Yappity yap about sh.t he has no idea idea about (calling it "research") and then challenges me to bet on a prop I have no desire to bet on. This place is full of them.

    well, there are 64 games to be played, which means you need 2.44 goals per game to win the bet

    most games in football finish at around 2-3 goals so number seems reasonable, cant see any value in it



    but if you just want an action bet id go for the over, there are a lot of high scoring teams like spain, brazil, germany, netherlands, argentina

    all it would take is a couple of high scoring games and the under would be toast, plus you get to celebrate ever time anyone scores

    Exactly. It's more for fun than for profit.
    You can bet $7K on it on Pinnacle.

    Teams like Spain, Netherlands and Switzerland are not high scoring teams.

    i never said anything about switzerland

    for the 5 teams I have mentioned, in their last 8-16 official games (friendlies are excluded), the average has been an impressive 3.5 goals per game, way above the average you would need to cash this bet


    add in england, bosnia and portugal


    and you already have 8 teams whose games in the past two years have been high scoring affairs (3.5 goal average)

    Took the under 158.5.
    Neither of the last two world cups have cracked 150, so fairly confident.

    most of these bets dont include extra time goals, 2010 had 145 goals that counts extra time so good luck.

    The heat and humidity in Brazil will probably keep the scoring down as well.

    What is the fine print for this bet? Do goals score in extra time count?

    It's Winter in the southern hemisphere. Temps will be in the 70s-80s most of the games.

    I assume most books are the same so extra time goals count. These are around the totals I see and they count, no penalty shoot out goals though obviously.

    Finally some intelligent statements, not "research" from idiots like heathaterno1. One more factor, I hear that pitch quality will not be top notch at some venues which will also affect the scoring totals. My books do not offer this prop, but indeed the under option looks pretty interesting.

    This would be the main reason putting me off. I've only heard the rumours but if that Brazil v Serbia match is anything to go by which was played where the final is it could make it tough to score.

    That pitch wasn't horrible but it certainly was good and with plenty of football to be played there it will tear up a little more you'd think.

    Another thing to note is I believe 65% of matches in the past 3 WCs opening group games have gone under 2.5 goals. Which leaves the total goals bet needing plenty in the last group games because there aren't usually many in the final stages.

    Last few World Cups had 145-147 goals I think

    Plus a lot of teams play defensive football these days (i.e. how Chelsea won the UCL) and teams like Spain are happy to win 1-0 and then pass the ball between their defenders

    I'd go with the under

    bovada has 154.5 no extra time goals

    5dimes has 140-144 145-149 shit like that says extra time counts

    actually i like the over 3.5 extra time goals on bovada, you could see some very tired players after 90 minutes and some bonehead mistakes in that humidity.

    I tallied up all the "projected" team totals and it comes to 137

    I think under is the play

    You're all gone. Will reign goals tonight. Even if it wont, will in the tournament. Under wont hit, just wait til Argentina smash Iran by 6 or more.

    You were warned.
