In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Went with the Ecuadorians instead.
I've lost some serious cash this month so I'm starting using a different strategy to build a bank roll.

Pretty decent bet that. Not massive gains but it should be effective.
I don't like any of the bet on the French win only because the odds are too small, so no value for me. Especially playing against a South American side such as Honduras.
Anyone familiar with who is taking the penalties for the French team?

another Uruguay here, feckers the swiss letting me down!! This world cup is a head feck on the bets!!
Not quite.
Went over 10.5 corners on the Switzerland game and there's been 9 already. Can't believe my luck here!
Has there been a South American team that hasn't been very good yet?
Apart form Ecuador

Not feeling it at all today after Uruguay ballsing it all up for me yesterday. Maybe mickey mouse bets on correct score doubles with France and Argentina.
Had a £5 of:
Over 1.5 Goals in Swi-Ecu @ 1.47
Over 3.5 Goals in Fra-Hon @ 3.5
Decided to cash out after watching the first half. Took £1.50 profit, which I thought was generous as the first leg would have only won me under £2.50.

I meant that Ecuador aren't that bad a team IMO. I backed them to win and it was closer in the bookies too. No one saw Costa Rica winning 3-1 at all.Hope your right... having a mare
I had draw at half time would you believe. First attack second half, goal. Whyyyy.
The BTTS at evens is out of the way so the next two should be straight forward!
Same as me however I've got over 2.5 goals as well in France/Argentina games. Fingers crossed.
Gone for France-1 and the argie bargies at 2.36
3 minutes.
Oh, do feck off ref, spent more than 5 minutes on no play after fouls, and only three minutes?
Swiss cnuts
I'd have broken even today if it ended a draw.
Two bets remaining now, £9 down for the day as it stands.

Being relatively new to this serious gambling milarky, I have a couple of questions.
What does it mean when you write "France-1"
Do most people just "go with their gut"?
It's well known that humans are terrible are working out large numbers. Ask someone if the odds of an event should be 8/1 or 9/1 or 10/1 and most people wouldn't really have a strong opinion.
Never in any doubt at all.
To win something, France has to win with at least two goal advantage. If it wins with just one, it's a void bet, and if it draws or losses, it's a loss.
Over 2.5 wins again. Easy..
France or any selection -1 would mean they start with a 1 goal handicap. In this instance the match would effectively start France 0 - 1 Honduras.
Arrived back home 10 seconds after the Switzerland equaliser, looked at the stats and plumped some on the Swiss to win in the end. Celebrated like a Swiss when they scored late on
I never knew it meant a void bet. What does that mean?
Put £5 on Switzerland not long after it went 1 - 1. £13 returns.
That's only on asian handicaps. Standard handicaps can't be draws as they have the draw as an option.
Thanks!
It's only a void bet (get your money back) if it's an asain handicap, I think.
A normal France -1 would result in a loss if they don't win by at least 2.
Asain handicaps would look like -1.5 etc. If France win by one you'll get half of your stake back. I'm not 100% myself, I never do them.
Wasn't as easy as I would have liked
Only if there is a draw handicap option do draws equal a loss.
Switzerland just saved my flippin arse there. Had them to win and o2.5. Sweating like a beaver.
Finally!! Few quid back on that Swiss win!
Keeps me in a treble as well, have France / Hon +2.5 & Argies +3.5...

It's easy to see what handicap is, if there's two way selection, void is in play, if three, it's not.
Thanks guys.
On a other note, I fancy Griezman to score tonight, was tempted on first goalscorer but backed him on anytime.
France's record in their opening games post-50s is pretty poor - W2 D3 L3
Could be worth going for Draw or Honduras at 3/1

The French have conceded 1 in their last 5 beating Holland and Ukraine to nil and scoring 8 past Jamaica a week or two ago. I think they are going to be to strong here.
1-1 incoming.
