Congratz mate!

dynamitappletini · 06-15-10, 03:31 PM

Fvck those lazy Brazil fu*cks.... I'm stopping betting on those fvcked up shit games which only suck...

Sorry WG I'm just blowing off some steam. Didn't think about brazils arrogance to have this game done already...

You're doing great as usual!

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 03:33 PM

Wow that it would be NK that saved my over is kinda funny, given how this day have gone for me... I will NOT chase this losing day with baseball!! Will slowly get it all back during the rest of the week and finish at +money!!!

Looking for Chile to win tomorrow, Spain to score 1H, and a draw in home nations game and/or under 2... but that is for later... on to Baseball Grumpy!

SolidDala · 06-15-10, 03:36 PM

One thing I will take into heart is: team that are playing for 2nd place and have their first game, this games have value in draw and under both for HT and FT! Furthermore will the OVER have value for team playing their 2 last games and MUST win to advance IMO..

WiseGrumpy · 06-15-10, 03:48 PM

Agree Solid.

All my picks for tomorrow are on page 4 !!!

aeschylus · 06-15-10, 03:57 PM

what a nightmare world cup so far though, only Germany proving their worth, bloody bookies must be loving it

South Africa +0.5

GL everyone

ukbsktbll · 06-16-10, 12:06 AM

think spain can put up 2+?

mav924 · 06-16-10, 12:11 AM

Good luck WiseGrumpy. Liking Spain winning to nil

fuglyboy86hi · 06-16-10, 01:56 AM

don't forget the similar expectations of high scoring game ruined by England, France, Italy!

except Germany, so it's better to stay away from Spain in their first match, let them prove themselves better enough to bet on them next time

aeschylus · 06-16-10, 02:13 AM

ok, as my Korea bet landed, I am going to play Switzerland +1.5, this is purely based on the fact only 1 team has demolished weaker opposition so far

SolidDala · 06-16-10, 03:41 AM

Like your bets Grumpy, will be on Chile for the game though to many 0-0 first halves, but that ends today with Spain and Chile!!

WiseGrumpy · 06-16-10, 03:56 AM

I def think so, but I think my bet is safer, Swiss will play without two of their best attackers.

True, but we should also remember out of all the teams, Spain is the best on "paper". Anyway, 1-0 is enough for my bet.

Not a bad bet, but I wouldn't bet against Spain and wouldn't go with Swiss without Frei ...

Thnx mate.
We are off to a great start. A solid game of one of my favorite teams, Chile, giving us the first bet of the day.
On to the next one ...

SolidDala · 06-16-10, 07:23 AM

Congrats WG on your first win, lets hope CHILE will keep it up for me as well!!

I sure hope so, they could score 5 more at least.

Yes they have had a bunch of chances to score a young fun team, but money in the bank a little less since I went with -0.5 and -1 but still, a profit is a profit!!

dynamitappletini · 06-16-10, 10:43 AM

Spain... Another favorite that can't score for shit

aeschylus · 06-16-10, 10:54 AM

sorry yours lost Grumpy, but pleased mine landed

This world cup is like no other, all bets on stick on Favs are falling over teams are simply coming here not to get beaten that is why it has been pretty boring so far

TBone101 · 06-16-10, 10:55 AM

Holy crap... i can't beleive Spain lost.... they dominated the game but couldn;t finish.
oh well thats sports betting for ya.... anything can happen.

Tower · 06-16-10, 11:37 AM

Try looking under Prop Bets or Alt Lines. If your book is worth its salt, they should provide these odds.

good call Borat

SolidDala · 06-16-10, 12:43 PM

OK its time for a new approach for me for this last game: yellow cards u4 at -112 , Uruguay -0.5 corners +120 , they have the better offense here and will have more opportunities to make this happen! - Lets see what happens... At least its better games to watch!
