    Only shot is if they grind out a nil nil and make it to pens, which i dont think is beyond possible if hazard doesnt perform for belgium

    vaughany, when betting on the favorite, what is the difference between the -0.5 spread and the 3-way line? dont you lose on the draw either way?

    Got a free play at Bovada and on USA V.. Start time now!!!!!


    Oh and Nunya Wash with Stras on the mound at home is probably a good play against the horrible pitching staff of the Colorado Rockies.... I'm on that as they will probably sweep the series.. That and the Reds in a rebound game tonight against the Padres on the road...

    Yeah, saw that a comin'. The $100 prize was way too generous relative to the difficulty of the task. Shame to see that go. Conversely, the next benchmarks didn't pay out enough relatively speaking (the $250 prize in particular), so I guess it's cool that they beefed up those incentives at least. Still though, I'd definitely prefer to have back the $100 for 5 were I given a choice.

    Yeah, they must've given away a ton of them right away, especially with putting up -2000 favorites for picks.

    It might be a positive for most of us, if they are only giving away each prize level once (I have no idea if they are or not.)

    Yee -0.5 is the same as the team to win ML if thts what u mean? So yee ud lose on draw. If u played the +0.5 though tht is same as double chance (win/draw) so youd win if it was a draw. I dont know why some books offer both ml and -0.5 when they are same thing before a game. but just have to be aware tht its different in live betting as -0.5 is asian handicap option (it is on Pinnacle anyway). For instance if belgium were 1-0 up at half time and u saw tht belgium -0.5 was -150 live on pinnacle tht would mean u are betting on belgium to win the second half (or from the existing score of 1-0)... Ive seen posts in soccer forum a few times where they didnt understand why their play had been graded as a loss when theyd bet the -0.5 live when the team was winning and score stayed the same!

    Yee reasonable value considering tht Tim Howard is one of the best shot stoppers around, plus the chances of these games going to pens has been undervalued in general due to the higher scoring games than expected in 1st round.

    Same as algeria germany and swiss argentina....teams just keep bottling it in extra time! Imagine there are a lot of frustrated punters out there who took likes of germany, argies, belgium in normal time! Both germans and belgium dont score for 90 mins then come out and score in opening couple mins of extra time!

    thanks v. this is exactly why i was confused by it. usually the -0.5 spread is a couple cents better at 5d, but i couldn't figure out what would be the downside of taking the spread over the ML.

    Problem is... then you'd have an account with Chase (we don't get along too well, Chase and I).

    Took the under in the Brewers/Blue Jays game.

    Chase bank has been known for closing accounts and stealing funds of people with gambling transactions.

    However, these sorts of bonuses show up at banks all the time, and you should be hitting them. I constantly open and close bank accounts to hit these promotions, getting $200-$300 for signups isn't rare at all, and most of them you can hit over and over again. They usually require doing ***************, but many will take a transfer from your paypal account as a ***************.

    I just don't know how much you can trust bitcoin books, even if they are well intentioned, they basically have no way to limit winners, and while I hate being limited myself; when a book doesn't limit me I get concerned for my funds. They're obviously not paying attention to what's going on, so they're going to get raped by many more than just me.

    It was the first clue that betislands was going down. I was destroying them on stale lines all over the place, but nothing was happening. Happened again with the first iteration of sportsbetting, thank goodness they got bought out.

    yeah I agree, I dont know if you checked out directbet, but you dont need an account send the coin to the address and they are paid out to any address you mention. You carry zero balance. So if they do disappear you can only lose one bet. They do pay and quickly. Have live betting too. Also other books have instant withdrawals with no fees at all. So you can take you balance out everyday if you want. Well the fee you bitcoin client charge .0001 or whatever. You can turn it off if you want but your confirmations make take forever.
