Need to insure my bet. Does anyone know if any bookie does Extra Time Double Chance??
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?
God damn Belgium.
Tell me about it! I'd have definitely put a few quid on it had Argentina not destroyed any trust I had in anything I touched not to turning to shit.If Only we listened eh?
I got Belgium at 3/1 to win in extra time 82 mins into normal time.
This world cup is a fecking nightmare for betting. I was utterly convinced this game would have goals in normal time, especially considering the last 2 have been goalless, the quarter finals will have more goals.
Banged £20 on Belgium at the start of extra time 
Odds did you get at the start of ET?Banged £20 on Belgium at the start of extra time
I'm letting mine ride, stuck 30 on it :/2.1
Cashed out seconds before that goal for £41 too
I would have but it was only about 90p more.
Unibet tell me I have lost this bet so maybe it wasn't all that amazing...
If this doesn't come off I am quitting for this WC. Opta have him at 91% so how FIFA could have him at less than 86% I have no idea
That's a fecking joke, How can there be two different stats? Something fishy going on there
I don't think Opta is official so any bets won't take it into consideration, there's not a chance there'd be a 6% difference between two sources though.
Someone on here (forget who) said they include a lot if stupid events in their calculations, things like failed crosses and being tackled probably lowered the completion rate. Awful way to calculate it but they'll probably not even enter into debate about it with you.
Fukin hell that has to be a joke !! I wud have got on that bet as well its just that currently I am only registered to b365 and they dont offer possesion bets. Cant beat yourself over it though , it was perfectly safe bet on paper had it not been for fifa screwing up their stats.

"FIFA does not vouch for the accuracy of techinical statistics compiled in association with its competition results system partner."
Not only do they not vouch for it, they can't even spell technical. Damn. Well there's a lesson there alright...
On top of that I used the other £33 to bet on Inler to have under 3.5 fouls, WhoScored say he had 3, I can't see any stats from FIFA about fouls other than Inler made 3 tackles. Serves me right!

Contact Niall and give him a generous offer for redcafe.net. Then promote yourself.If there is one thing I've learnt during this World Cup, it's always to go for the safest bet whenever you bet big on an accumulator. I placed these 2 bets on an accumulator before the start of the World Cup:
Could have won £16,626 + with a £3600 bet. All Italy need was just a draw.
Really gutted that Italy didn't qualify or else my winnings would have almost tripled.
Decided to try my luck again on an accumulator and Germany screwed up my parlay!
Was thinking whether to put Germany to qualify or win in normal time and decided to go for the win in normal time and what a mistake it turned out to be. Could have won £22k+ and when the score was still 0-0 in the 88th min, I decided to cash out. Also had the option to cash out before the start of the Germany vs Algeria match which would have won me £12k+ but who would have thought that Germany can't beat Algeria in normal time.
I'm going to try the same accumulator again in the quarter-finals although it's definitely going to be a little more risky this time round.
Brazil, Germany, Holland, Argentina to qualify to the semi-final. Should get much better odds this time but obviously the risk is higher.
£4m will do it.
France and Columbia double tonight anyone?
Brazil have been poor and Germany players suffering from a bit of flu.

I'm having that. Although both to qualify rather than win. Can see at least one of those going to extra time/pens.
Germany players apparently have flu so this could be a big chance for France depending on which ones are out (if any are really out at all). Colombia look strong, so I will probably do something with both of the slight underdogs. However, I'm interested in this:
Germany & BTTS @ 5/1
Brazil & BTTS @ 10/3
£10 double returns £260.
I think France can get at the Germany defence no matter what happens, as long as Mertesacker plays :P
Brazil have been average but keep pulling it off.
Sadly, I think one of the games is likely to go the distance of extra time and possibly penalties, so the winnings might be in backing teams to qualify on top of whatever else you do.
Each match is Evens for BTTS as well, which might be worth a bet as all of these teams have been playing relatively open football.

France & Colombia double @ 12/1
France, Brazil & Argetina games all BTTS 6/1

France slight favourites already 
Amazingly enough.....just put a £1 live bet on Thiago Silva next scorer.....went out of the balance......but after he scored like 30 seconds later, just acted like it never happened with the £1 back in. Insane. Brutal.
Went against the run of results from these knockout games and took over 1.5 first half in this Brazil game at 2/1. £20 stake.
That early goal helps just need another!

Draw at half time 17/20 in the Argentina - Belgium game.
I know it's boring but it's served me well.

Neymar out has made my mind up. Germany to win the WC now. Account cleared out, all on them.
It's been a good world cup betting wise for me. However Costa Rica have been my nemesis. I've actually backed against them in every game now that I think about it ha. So no point in changing now, gonna make back all the money I lost on them. Holland -1 are 6/4, thats my bet I think!
Whilst Costa Rica have been punching above their weight and putting in some great performances I think playing 60 mins with only 10 men will have taking a lot out of them added to the fact that they've put in a lot of effort in all there games, I think tomorrow will be the end of the road for them.

The run of favourites has to end.......Belgium can be had at nearly 3/1 in 90. Ultra tempting.
The group stages made this a successful World Cup for me, I've barely bet on the knockout stages thankfully.
The only open bet I've still got is Brazil to win the cup, which with a full strength squad I think they would, but with Neymar and Silva out of the Germany game, I think it might be time to place some bets on Deutschland.

Took 25/1 on Kompany to see red.
Come on vinny, give us one of them two footers you like

Didn't bet on any of the last 16 matches, and only put a £5 on Germany to win last night.
Really find it hard to bet now. I enjoy the matches a lot more without having money on it

I've gone for RVP anytime and a Holland win.. hope it comes off
Obviously didn't bet on Keylor Navas to be the highest rated player again, because I'm an idiot.
Not making the same mistake if they get through.

Any bets for tomorrow lads?
Other than doing a very, very drunk bet on the opening night of the W.C (Neymar to score 2 or more against croatia) I haven't won anything since then. Not a fecking thing. Not a single thing
. So Yeah.. I probably won't bother unfortunately.Gone with an all euro final.
Pre tournament, I went for a Brazil-Argentina final at 8/1.
Undecided whether I'll cover that tonight. I might just enjoy the game tonight, and if Brazil somehow manage to pass Germany I'll probably cover the Dutch beating Argentina tomorrow.
