Chile vs Honduras - Chile -1 @ 2.25 for 3 Units
Chile vs Honduras - Over 2 @ 1.95 for 2 Units [color="Orange"]
I'm not usually a fan of being directly against a poster, but at least 1 of us will have to show profit from this game - combining your bets with mine there is literally no single scoreline that ****s us both over completely.
Dunno if thats a good thing like

Chile/Honduras will finish in a draw. No surprise here, 2 weak teams that will reserve themselves for future more important games IMO.
Agree for Spain !

Spain v Switzerland over 10.5 corners - even money.

Tough break on that Chile total. Chile put a lot of shots on goal. Thought they were going to get a 2nd one.

With the first round of matches now completely out of the way, we can assess what has happened and how to take the next steps.
Firstly, it has been a terrible WC so far, not only for me and Wilforth, but in general. The thread is down 9 units and i personally am nearly down 14. I only set 50 units for the thread because all my money is tied up in going to California on monday so the loss itself is not that big a deal.
What is a big deal for me is the fact that anyone who has followed has lost, and i hate that, because we set such high standards.
With the second set of matches in full swing starting from today we are hoping for a change in the terrible way this world cup has began.
Good luck today everyone, and hopefully we can get this thread back on track
1-0-0 so far today, come on you Nigerians

Good luck on Nigeria. I'm only playing my strategy for the 1st half with a unit on no goals scored and a unit on 1 goal scored. Get a small profit if either hits. I actually favored Greece +0.5 with the defensive changes I expect in their lineup, but it's not a high confidence pick. Whole board and seemingly world is on Nigeria, that is a little spooky for me which is why I will avoid a side here.
Might make a live bet if the mood strikes right.

Thanks ep, i think i'll leave any further bets on the game. I actually rate Kyrgyakos so his inclusion should strengthen Greece.
Both teams have made pacy and attacking changes, so it might open up but still like 1-0 Nigeria - about the 70th minute

With you on the France pick, i'll be taking them ML.
Their draw with Uruguay certainly looks stronger form than the Mexico/SA game. BOL

This might be a good match to make a bet at half time, especially if you're on Nigeria for the match. Might be able to hedge some losses with Greece depending on the price - although I bet a ton of money rolls on Greece for the 2nd half.

Greece DNB @ 2/7 for 7 Units to win 2 Units
A draw is now the worst thing that could happen and i'd lose 4 Units on the game
Greece win and i lose 2 Units and if Nigeria win () then it's roughly break even
*at least we won the ht bet for 2 units

Take the game to end in a 1-1 Draw at +215, that's the only way it'll be a draw. Nigeria is gonna stack the box with 10 the whole second half. Not unlikely to see it end in 1-1.

Don't bet against the Liverpool boys, especially those who start.

How's the World Cup going, Smogs? Got buried with Spain but Uruguay and Argentina more than made up for me.

It's going sh*t for me and only today have we started seeing an exciting competition
It'll get better (until i drop 12 units on England)

Well guys, after a week of scratching around and just breaking even I've just about had enough of this WC. There is no rhyme or reason to any of the form, it's being played in the middle of winter, with a sh1t ball. I think I'll keep my powder dry to the beginning of the the Premiership. Well done on the thread Smogs and I will still follow daily, but man alive this is getting expensive mate. BOL

This thread ends tomorrow, it has been a downward spiral from Day 2.
Sorry to any who tailed, Myself and Wilforth have failed to cap this world cup so far.
Just on a side note, in anger i put 12 Units on England -1.5 @ +100. Fuk it, i'll go down in flames.
Like i said before though, it's not that much money, it's just the fact i can't get any kind of run going

Domenech needs to go home now. He shouldn't even be fired. He should just board the plane on his own and bounce or just jump off a roof out of shame

Smogs you will be fine. Respectfully I think you just need to stop betting such big units on these group stage games. You will make all of your money once the round of 16 starts. That's when picking winners is easy for someone with your knowledge.
