Great start!!!!

CatPulp · 06-15-10, 08:12 AM

Good luck everyone!!

WiseGrumpy · 06-15-10, 08:19 AM

Pretty pathetic ... that's what happens to teams that DEFEND when they are ahead.

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 08:21 AM

Pathetic indeed!!!

Why don't teams never learn: BEST DEFENSE IS OFFENSE!!

Those are small teams ... Slovakia should beat them 10-0 and they score and play defense that mentality never works.

Oh well, I have pretty big bets left, 2-1 would be ok ...

Can anyone explain the difference between a draw @ 3.25 (Ivory Coast - Portugal) and a prop bet called "Winning Margin" of Score Draw @ 4.5? Seems to be the same bet but one is offering much better odds? What gives?

aeschylus · 06-15-10, 09:40 AM

Well a Score Draw means you would need at least 2 goals for a 1-1, that is why the odds are much higher, I dont know what they mean when they say "Winning Margin"

as a normal winning margin would be you betting on say Portugal to win by 2 clear goals, how they have incorporated that into a Score Draw, I dont know

Tower · 06-15-10, 09:47 AM

Wow what a slow half, we need more corners!! How about someone actually try and attack!!

PuckCoach · 06-15-10, 09:51 AM

Grumpy is it me or does Brasil -2.5 too low? Is it possible money is going on N Korea +2.5 goals?

It is very possible. People are are taking a chance because it seems much. But the difference between the teams is HUGE! Brazil can win 10-0 if they will only try.

Amazing, I'm a soccer fan for 20 years, I know the bets are right, but this day is just ODD. Two great teams playing in the middle of the field, Slovakia can't keep a lead against one of the worst teams in the cup ... I believe we will have a better second half I hope it will be enough for a lot more corners ...

I will finish the cup with at least 65% even if today will be a bad day ... but I didn't give up yet.

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 10:21 AM

Yer tell me about it, this world cup is all about not losing instead of winning, 0-0 first half for most games, under 2.5 for almost every game.

Drogba is on the field!!!

I study every sport in the world and adjust, tomorrow I have a new game plan, there is no way I finish this cup UNDER 65% ...

Anyway 8 corners 8 min to go ... 3 more ...

aeschylus · 06-15-10, 10:50 AM

/PHEW got out of jail there, with a push

this world cup has been rubbish, Only Germany actally been any good so far

WiseGrumpy · 06-15-10, 10:52 AM

10 corners, no doubt such a game could have a lot more corners but a push is better than nothing.
1 miss, 1 push now I want 10-0 Brazil to end the day with 1-1-1 and tomorrow a sweep!!!

VERY bad game by two VERY disappointing teams ...

aeschylus · 06-15-10, 11:03 AM

bah Bet365 have graded it as a lost

I bet over 10 so surely should be a push?

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 11:08 AM

I am on Bra -2 and Over 2.5, talk about SQUARE plays

If your bet was Over 10 corners and they graded it as lost - shoot them a mail or contact their live chat support. And if they ask you for official statistics, here is the link http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches...89/report.html

aeschylus · 06-15-10, 11:15 AM

Based on what I have seen I have played North Korea +2.25, I appreciate probably a crazy bet, but apart from Germany none of the big teams have performed

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 11:24 AM

This is what I am hoping for tonight in BRA : 1-0 HT , 4-0 FT!

NC will play to defend and will probably put up a good fight at their side, but lose hope when BRA scores within the first 30min so when BRA leads 2-0 they will put in some substitutes and they will give the public a show trying to make starting line and ending the game 4-0!!! Its Samba time!!!

Thx mate, I suspect because the final corner was in the 94th min they missed it

NC is a VERY bad team, the worst team in the cup in my opinion. Brazil is actualy the best I have seen them in 4 years. I expect them to go all the way and if they lose, it will be only against Germany. But GL mate!

Not a bad bet, many Soccer games go the way you are describing it and Brazil is better at the second half most of the time.

Got it thanks! My book has Brazil o/u at 3 -105 and total corners over Portugal/Ivory at 10.5 -115, Do you think there is still value at these numbers?

so close.

ukbsktbll · 06-15-10, 12:12 PM

Does this bet "North Korea scores first / no goal +508* vs Brazil scores first goal " means that if North Korea does not score or scores first this wins?

Yea thats sucks. Don't worry, at the end of the cup we will be all smiles here ...

Seems like if it's 0-0 or NC scores first you win. I doubt they will give such an amazing price for a Brazil shut out ...

ukbsktbll · 06-15-10, 12:20 PM

Yea must of read and interpreted it wrong

Jca11 · 06-15-10, 12:22 PM

Thats a good bet, this game will be low scoring and Korea will cover, North Korea is a fit and smart team, dont over look them

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 12:30 PM

Amazing price? , Pinny have 0-0 at +2000

WiseGrumpy · 06-15-10, 12:40 PM

lol .. yea it's 500 there because of the chance NC will score first ...
This game has no value other than betting on things like corners and goals ...
I just want a crazy game with a lot of goals!

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 12:47 PM

Yer thats for sure, its the game with the least amount of value, but still everyone will bet on it

Brazil and football can't be ignored

aeschylus · 06-15-10, 01:58 PM

Bah Bet365 will not push my corner bet, they are saying it is a 3 way market, under 10, over 10 and exactly 10

let him know on phone I was not happy

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 02:12 PM

This is a day i want just to end really quick and on to baseball!!! BRA ain't working hard enough here...
