"Lesser games" tend to mean better value if you know where you should be putting your money.

NZ to score 2,02 @ betsafe.com ... might be a good play on a small bet!

I agree, but I prefer betting on better teams, since they are more stable and IMO easier to predict. Bad teams have a harder time living up to the expectations. Liking Slovakia in this matchup though, can't really see New Zealand getting a shot at the knockout stage.

Hope you're right dude, but that 'lock' sign is now going to jinx us

[ufuque]

Slovakia ML and Under

you can play the -1 if you dont like to play such high juice.
I dont like to bet games above -200 juice. The games i normaly bet have juice ranging from -130 to +150

If you want a good price take USA ml(+105) against Slovenia

[Gee]

I like New Zealand and New Zealand +1 for a small bet.

NZ have been good in the lead up, incl. beating Serbia. Those that say NZ are no good probably haven't watched their games and are saying it because it is New Zealand. Slovakia aren't as good as everyone thinks either and are far too short.

[babyanni]

under

slovakia has good wingers i don't know much about new zeland but i don't think they have fast players. so i think slovakia will hit them from wings. 2-0 slovakia win for me.

New Zealand qualified from a group of pub teams though, no more and no less can be said about the other clubs in the oceanic qualifying zone - their only good result in the pre-world cup was a friendly win against Serbia, if you are playing on that result you could say they only beat a team who went on to look like complete crap against Ghana. Still, depends how you want to look at it I guess.

Good luck with the play if you are taking it

Well.. actually Im not sure about this at all.. gonna pass this game!

[althelegend]

How can New Zealand win this? It looks an impossibility. Have NZ ever won a match in the world cup finals? Indeed , have they ever before been in them?
NZ to finish bottom of their group. Slovakia to win here without breaking sweat - and over 2.5 goals.

[Smogs]

I went daft and out 514 points on Slovakia -1 in the sportsbook

It's all make or break today

[RoagBettor]

The ML for Slovakia has gone from -210 last night to -182 this morning. That's pretty significant movement considering there isn't a forum I've visited where at least 99% are on Slovakia.

What's also interesting to me is the over 2.5 is +135, the over 2 is -137, and the under 2 is +117. Hmmm.....

Once in 1982, losing three games to Brazil, Scotland and the Soviet Union. But then Slovakia have never been in the WC Finals as an independent nation.

Very strange line movement indeed, probably the public is on NZ but considering how fast the line moves up and down...

Anyways Slovakia should win this 1

OK, I went with over 2.5 at +133. The under just seems too easy and why are the books offering under 2 at plus money when the over 2.5 is +133 and under 2.5 is -153? 3-0, 2-1, I don't care what it ends up.

Good luck with your plays everyone.

Seems that the books expect a 2-0 Slovakia victory

Slovakia is very underrated, its like everybody has confused Slovenia with Slovakia Stoch and Weiss on the wings, two young very talented players especially Stoch who just won the league with Twente in Holland on loan from Chelsea. Hamsik will be known to Serie A followers, he could string the attacks together and pose a threat himself. The defense isn't bad, Skrtel will be leading in the back. Tactically they look to be playing a 4-2-3-1, this is a must win game and its likely the wingers will be up high knocking in crosses, cutting in and stretching New Zealands defense.

good info there
only know the players from german bundesliga ,
sestak was the one of the best players in bochum although they got relegated, jendrisek had a solid year in bundesliga 2 and was aquired by schalke 04 for the new season and vittek once played for nüremberg a few years ago and was pretty solid.

made a small play on slovakia -1

you play the teams you get. i think they have shown a lot in the lead up, even when they've lost. i don't think slovakia has shown anything worthy of their pricetag.

NZ +1 was the play with a small NZ ML bet. Looking OK at half time. considering a hedge bet, any ideas what would be best? assuming 2 units NZ +1, half unit NZ ML.

[DarkNite]

For the god sake, my book offers Slovakia ML 1.38, Slovakia HT/FT @ 1.83 and Slovakia X-FT @ 4.20.
I see Draw HT, and FT win for Slovakia.

So far I am right on HT Draw.

[PorkyPig]

Kiwi defense looks confused but Slovakia can't take advantage of it. Too much unnecessary dribbling, they could have been up at least 1-0 if they passed the ball more.

[Powderguy]

So far I am right on HT Draw.

looking good for FT

[DarkNite]

WTF ending!

[PorkyPig]

Disgusting play from Slovakia for the last 15 mins, pulling back and kicking the ball as far as they can instead of getting the 2nd goal. They got what they deserved. And so did we for betting on such a team.

[Gee]

couldn't find a hedge with any value. glad i couldn't.

love it.

feel sorry for the slovak fans. i had come to terms with my small loss, then boom.

[lakerboy]

Slovakia should not be -200. They should win but those odds are horrendous and have no value. Even Slovakia at -1 is questionable. Its not like New Zealand are going to mail it in.

[pavyracer]

Common lakerboy! Didn't you bet the draw on live bet at +2000 on the 90th minute?
