Mexico at 11/1. Worth a cheeky one that. Brazil were very unimpressive against Croatia.
World Cup Betting Thread

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
Peralta & Lukaka Anytime scorers with Russia win. €5 /€75 return!
Mulling over a cheeky Mexico win, they looked sharp against Cameroon. Brazil very nervous and any defence with Luiz in it is always dodgy! With that in mind, Brazil are 11/1 to have player sent off & Luiz is 22/1 to be that man!
Long shot but if Mexico go at them and have them on the back foot Luiz is prime suspect, worth a small punt!
I'll probably see how the first 10-15 mins go and consider an inplay bet here....

I can't see Brazil losing today personally.
I'm not sure how handicap betting works. If I put a bet on Algeria +2 does that essentially mean they get a 2-0 head start? So for me to lose the bet would they have to get beat by 2 goals or more?
Yeah that's right Carl. I can see Brazil scoring a few here but I've gone for Algeria +2 at evens & BTS in both as well.
As you said, Algeria get a 2-0 head start. So if someone did play that Algeria (+2) bet, the only way they'd lose is if Belgium won by 2 goals (as that would mean a draw) or if Belgium won by 3 or more goals, as it would mean Belgium 3-2 Algeria (if Belgium won 3-0).
I think that's more or less what you said.
Yes, in three way market (bookie offers you 1, x or 2). In two way market, it's a void bet if they lose by 2.
Thanks. Might go for a Mexico +2 and Algeria +2 double in that case.
Couple of random trebles for today:
Brazil-Mexico BTTS / Belgium -1 Draw / Russia -1 @ 20-1
De Bruyne, Kokorin & dos Santos to score anytime @ 52-1
Brazil-Mexico BTTS / Belgium -1 Draw / Russia -1 @ 20-1

It's been a massive roller coaster so far - got lucky yesterday laying the US after first goal at 1.65 then cashing out after Ghana equalizer which netted me $140. I lost money on Uruguay and Portugal though so I haven't won as much as I'd have liked to at this World Cup but with over $260 on my Betfair account now I'll probably stick to safe bets until the end of the tournament. Thinking about laying Mexico and Algeria today - Mexico cannot beat Brazil at their own turf while Algeria just don't have enough quality to outscore Brazil. Then I'd probably lay Korea against Russia - they look very poor these days.
So far I've had a few correct scores; only a few quid for each bet but currently up.
Had the following:
Mexico 1-0 Cameroon
Chile 3-1 Australia
Ivory Coast 2-1 Japan
France 3-0 Honduras
Fancy Belgium 2-0 tonight and Brazil 3-2

No problem & good luckLove this, put few quid on it myself
Spain to win the tournament at 9/1 is a good shout, they'll still get through and anything can happen in the knockouts
9/1?? Think you need to find a new bookie! They're 14/1 elsewhere.
I agree but you can get better a better price than 9/1
Spain will be dangerous now after that trashing the other day. Point to prove.
Draw at 9/2 is very tempting
Gone with Brazil, Belgium and Russia parlay to win and another parlay of Belgium half time full time and Brazil half time full time.
Belgium -1 @ 1.9
Lukaku anytime @ 1.9
Hazard anytime @ 2.4
Lukaku anytime @ 1.9
Hazard anytime @ 2.4
And Belgium, Brazil, Russa @ 3.5
belgium straight to win @1/2
My only bet today.
Just over 10.5 corners @ 2.00 for me in first match.
Yeh done the same but i got worse odds
I'm gonna call my bet pretty much done here...
Belgium have been pretty conservative so far and I can see them grabbing a couple in the last 20, so if they get a goal before HT who knows...
That another word for shite?
I agree but I don't think they'll win my a margin of two goals.
God, corners are such a shit market to bet on, yet I often fall for it.
Only 1.90 for Belgium -1? You should change your bookie mate, I got 2.20.
Belgium 13/5 in play now to win.
I've lost about my last 5 or 6 bets. FFS.
belgium pulling a urugay and fecking me again.
I laid Algeria at 8.6 about two minutes before their goal. Talk about bad luck, hope Belgium can get an equalizer but looking at them today I wouldn't be so sure of it.
looks like belgium gonna cost me quite a few quid. Playing like their namesake under moyes. no penetration, algeria too organised.
already lost belgium/belgium, dont think they will score 3 so no belgium -1
already lost belgium/belgium, dont think they will score 3 so no belgium -1
I've laid Belgium here @1.4. Contemplating leaving it a few minutes and cashing out when the subs come on
Thank feck, hopefully that adds 5 mil to his price :P
That turned out alright!
Thanks
No more goals please.
If Belgium cover the 2 goal handicap here I will be sickened!
