when you bet on a PK, if the game ends in a draw you get your money back

very interesting thread...I see the group stage unfolding very similar to the way you do.  I think of all the matches in the group stage the Italy and Paraguay battle should be amongst the best, it will have a lot of heart and will surely decide their group! Best of Luck Vanzack, and may you prosper well, and make a shitwhack!

I will stay tuned.

Just see this as an open game with lots of scoring chances - Mexico should win but wouldnt be surprised if both teams score here.

France / Uruguay to follow....


The Host county has never lost an opener in the World Cup.. I do as well think Mex will take 1st game, was able to get Over 2 at +110 back on 5/23..
Having said that about host nation never losing inauguration match.. Mexico vs S Africa DRAW at +220 seems like a good bet!

Vanzack, as of 6/10 late night, the Greek is offering over 2 -111.  I already have my bet in, but has this moved down since you got it. 

I know you're using various books and you listed -122 as your price.

BAKE: Per your above question re: MEX total, the O2 is now plus money at Pinny - so you weren't dreaming that, money seems to be pouring in on the under.

Yeah, a little pissed I am in at -122 and it is now +101.

These line movements are almost impossible to predict - not enough history or frequency with WC.

France v Uruguay is a non betting game for me. Again a small play 0 - 0 @ + 650 and a chancey Uruguay 1-0 @ +800. Again like the under here...

Day 2: South Korea to beat Greece @ +200. Argentina should beat Nigeria but something really fishy about that line -200??Going to take a stab at the draw +300.

I will play England v USA over as well...Looks like goals here...

All small plays. Best way to make money bet Brazil and Argentina Pre tourney..

And that is how its done! What a start! Had 100 bucks on 1-0 and 1-1 and 500 bucks on the under 2.5 Won enough in that match hitting on those odds, that if I lose rest of the tournament I will still be up, Murdered that first match hope a few of you tailed me..

I'll take the push any day of the week especially after a goal-less 1H. Good job Van

I am pretty sure that bet lost. I don't know any book that plays over 2 goals??Its always in my experience over 2,5, 1.5 etc to avoud the push scenario. If you got the 2 and got the push I REALLY need to know the name of the book..

I am determined to beat Vanzack. Not because I don't rate him because I do and he seems like a great guy I just love capping competitions! Let's make money guys!!!

The Greek had the o/u at over 2 (-118).  The 1-1 final looked like a fair result both for the side bet and the o/u 2....

Mack -- 5dimes had the O/U for goals set at 2, but the over was juiced to like -128 or something.

At least, it was juiced that much when I put my bet in yesterday. Apparently there was significant movement on it today because earlier in the thread guys were talking about the Over 2 being plus juice
