I lost my bets today too.
What a ridiculous World Cup so far, teams are trying not to concede more than to score

yeah, and I have a consipracy theory in mind. Or better said, a butterfly effect, I think I iknow what has generated it.
Anyway folks, since I have to pay yisman the loan back, I cannot ask for another loan (and I neighter want to). Im gonna start raising points from my lovely blogs. I think im gonna finish paying him around the 1st of August. And meanwhile, I think I'll be rasing around 300-400 points. And, of course, untill the national leagues start, I will be having around 500-600 points. I need some months out of the business, I need to be idle for awhile. This World Cup came exactly after my long and stressful exam session, and I didn;t have enough time for really studying the teams and shit. It's not that I'm trying to find excuses for my failure, but I believe some of you wonder why wasn't I successful at the World Cup. Plus, add the stupid ball and the stupid vuvuzelas and there you go.
Anyway, what doesn't kill me (my bankroll is barely alive, I'm fine) only makes me stronger, i'm sure that starting with the next season, I'm gonna be more experienced and we, together, are gonna have serious payouts thanks to football.
I will stay away as possible from betting the SBR points, I'm just gonna focus on other things, not gambling. I'm not addicted after all. There are many things I;ve gotta do this summer and I'm not addicted to it, after all.
I am sorry for whoever tailed me this week, it was a miserable one, and I will strive to provide higher quality picks from mid-august.
Thanks and good luck to everyone.
Oh, btw, I'm gonna continue suggesting plays here, as the Cup will start going on a straight line pretty much soon.

Bro I don't see anything that says the trend is going to change this WC, there are too many things wrong from weather to ball to vuvuzelas to altitude to pitch. GL

Yo Mihai, this is my first world cup betting, so i'm not so much involved in wagering big money on it. Never bet on world cup games before and that's why we should do it carefully. It seems this cup is the cup of the under games, at least the first phase. I'm just betting for the lives, it's quite good.

Spain has 6 starters from Barcelona : Puyol, Busquets, Xavi, iniesta, Pique and David Villa. I think that is a record

Yeah, I hate this ball. The players aren't used to it and as a result we're not seeing the quality strikes we'd see on a daily basis in the EPL.

In contrast, the ball from the 2006 WC was awesome. Had great curl ability and was heavy enough that not every ball went over the post.

yeah, that's what freaks me out. did you see torres alone in the box shot ? at liverpool, that ball would have gone in the net 9 times from 10 attempts, and he usually strikes at the grass level from that position.
The ball is very light and it quickly gains altitude. If, from 32 teams, only 4 are able to score at least twice, after one match (greece, holland, germany and brazil), that must mean something. Also, from 14 matches, 11 unders, 2 overs and one push (brazil's line was at 3, initially).
The best situations is this : the players get accostumed to it next match, but still aren;t able to create plenty of goals, and the line will drop drastically before the 3rd group match). I wouldn;t be surprised to see lines starting at 1.5....I already saw 1.75 at Ivory Coast/Portugal matches yesterday. It's like an nba match would be set at 160 points by the bookies, extremly bizzare.

That Torres shot is exactly what I had in mind when I started talking about the problems with this ball. His shot, Iniesta's, and countless others this WC would all be fantastic goals in the domestic leagues. But no, Adidas had to make a stupid ****ing beach ball and ruin all the fun. Honestly, cheeky curler goals and screamers from outside the box are my favorite part of football. We're just not getting it this time around. I really hope the players get used to it by next round, but even if they do, I doubt we'll see the pure quality goals we're used to seeing.
Time to start a protest to bring back the Teamgeist ball.

Yeah, like UEFA and FIFA care about the actual problems of football. They are just sport politicians, and politicians are corrupted to the bone. If they cared, they wouldn't insist on this ****in ball, they would ban the vuvuzelas, and wouldn;t have organized a World Cup in South Africa in the first place.
The next possible locations for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups are interesting : USA, England, Spain & Portugal, Russia, Quatar. Netherlands & Belgium, Japan, South Korea and Australia. (2014 is in Brazil).

So this new ball is really lighter compared to old ball, or just teams are not used to. maybe high altitude make ball feel lighter?

if it was columbia or jamaica, I would have suspected those guys are on weed, and have some lighter ball trips. Kidding.
No, it really is lighter and bounces much more.

It's not the higher altitude because the Spain game was in Durbin which is close to sea level and the world's best players kept hitting shots over the bar that they normally would easily put in.

Forlan's goal was finally what we've been waiting for. Sure, it took a deflection, but great strike nonetheless. Won both bets on that game.

congrats pal, nice work. And im so happy Alvaro Pereira scored, because he played for a team from my country few years ago, CFR Cluj. He now is at FC Porto, and will cost over 15 milion euros imo. Im reallt glad he has the chance to play well at the WC>
