TheAntidote's World Cup Thread

Well, I guess I'm happy with a tie considering we were down 2-0, but we actually should have won! Had that goal been allowed at the end, the US would have had 3 pts, and I wouldn't have a crippled bankroll. Oh well, hopefully England score 2 in the first half and save me some cash.

TheAntidote · 06-18-10, 04:19 PM

So my bankroll is officially ****ed. It's been a fun experiment. We'll see if I can't parlay what little I have left into something significant.

TheAntidote · 06-19-10, 09:27 PM

Taking a short break, it's the weekend, afterall.

mihaita666 · 06-20-10, 02:49 AM

correct. my advice : parlay 3 teams who must win in the last round

mihaita666 · 06-20-10, 04:39 PM

portugal wins tomorrow, that's like a must win for them....

TheAntidote · 06-21-10, 10:13 AM

Probably should have taken your advice on a parlay. Spent the last 8.58 in my account on Spain -2. I also still have the David Villa prop.

TheAntidote · 06-22-10, 05:51 PM

Pushed on Spain, put that 8.58 on US ML tomorrow. Live or die with them, I suppose.

mihaita666 · 06-22-10, 06:37 PM

i like them ML too....but, that's not a good sign, at this world cup...

TheAntidote · 06-23-10, 09:03 PM

Wow, what a dramatic WC it's been for the US. Very happy with today's victory. Looking forward to Ghana.

TheAntidote · 07-02-10, 11:17 AM

So miraculously my freeplay bankroll has been resurrected. I was essentially dead and gone, then my Villa over 4 goals prop hit giving me $22. I decided in a moment of impulsive, potentially self-destructive behavior, to put that on the Netherlands to beat Brazil. Turns out it was a good bet. My roll is up to $91 now and I have some life again. I'll be updating my stats on this freeplay challenge soon.

TheAntidote · 07-02-10, 11:24 AM

Original Bankroll: $81.02
Rolled over/Requirement: 321/648.16
Current Bankroll: $91.00
Pending Plays: $0

Holy shit. Talked to BetPhoenix, who told me I've already rolled over $321. Half-way home with $91 in the account, looks like a full-blown resurrection to me.

TheAntidote · 07-02-10, 12:30 PM

No play on Ghana/Uruguay for me. Ghana's such a wild card, I think Uruguay are the better side, but Ghana's got so much energy, I wouldn't be surprised to see an upset.

Play for tomorrow:

Germany vs Argentina O 2.25
30 to win 23.81

Updated stats:

Original Bankroll: $81.02

I like that, bro, but reduce your wagers, remember you were close to lose it all

You're right, the only reason I put 30 on this one was because I figured it was a hedge, or at least the equivalent of 2 bets (15 at O2, 15 at O2.5). Definitely gonna lower it down a little after this one. 15 has been my typical unit.

mihaita666 · 07-02-10, 04:48 PM

good.....Tomorrow I will play 1 bit straight, and a small parlay.....or idk yet....two medium straights :P

TheAntidote · 07-03-10, 08:26 PM

Lost $25 on Spain today. Picked the team total O 1.5. I still feel like I made the right bet, and just got unlucky.

TheAntidote · 07-05-10, 06:06 PM

Think I'll be betting Netherlands -.75 tomorrow. I'll have to update my stats in a bit.

mihaita666 · 07-06-10, 12:03 AM

Netherlands ML for sure

TheAntidote · 07-06-10, 12:03 PM

Ok, my plays for today:

Netherlands -1 15/18.90
Netherlands ML 15/9.68

I got these lines last night, at a worse price than they're at now. Totally thought the lines would move the other way.

mihaita666 · 07-10-10, 04:51 PM

don;t exceed tomorrow...I won't place much neighter. The value isn;t on Spain, but I cannot see them not winning. However, Im not willing to risk half my bankroll for their victory including extra tim and penalties.

mihaita666 · 07-10-10, 05:10 PM

oh, I see you've paid your loan back....nice work.
until you finish the rollove requirement, try raising the points you get....so you won;t need another loan in the future (i know what I'm talking about, I've had over 2,500 points got on loan, and paid over 3,000 back)

TheAntidote · 07-11-10, 11:41 AM

Ok, not a lot of value in the lines today. Should be a close match, but I think Spain pull out victory in the end (I did pick them to win it all at the start of the tournament afterall).

Spain to win the World Cup

TheAntidote · 07-11-10, 11:44 AM

Yeah, I'll probably save my points for a while, maybe bet them at the SBR book if some games pop up with real value. I'm NOT going into the casino with them, that's for sure.
