Didn’t go mad the first week – just toes dipped into the water:
€5 Holland for tournament outright @ 33/1 Ongoing
€10 Win Double Ivory Coast / Colombia Returns €55.13 +€45.13
€20 Eng v Ita (Draw NB) -€20
€10 Nigeria -1 vs Iran -€10
€10 Win Double Belgium -1 / Brazil -€10
So 0.13 up so far with €5 still running.
Next Bet before today’s games is Spain outright at 12/1 generally but still 14/1 with bet 365 – If Spain beat Chile today they are back on Track and on a collision course with Brazil in round 2. You could argue that aside from a dodgy penalty decision against Croatia that Brazil are finding the pressure of hosting a little difficult and may be vulnerable to Spain on whom expectation has been dampened. Spain beat Brazil and they are probably back as favourites. If Italy win Group D then possible list of Quarter final opponents for that section of the draw reads Colombia / Ivory Coast / England / Uruguay and Costa Rica.
Lots of if’s and buts but 14/1 is too tempting to pass up for me. €5 e/w 14/1 1/2, 1, 2
Terrible day yesterday, my profit has massively reduced to +5.22, damn it!
Treble Holland, Spain, Croatia at about 3.29/1
Holland V Australia

Tim Cahill to score a/t 9/2
Robben to score a/t 11/10
Holland h/t and f/t 4/6
Over 2.5 goals 8/15

Back in form, great
What a game, what a world cup
Chile V Spain
Really like the look of Chile over 2.5 yellow cards at 1/1, thats a great bet imho
Spain to win and both teams to score 2/1
Over 2.5 goals 3/5
Also fancy Iniesta at 11/4 a/t scorer, for some reason i feel he might score, ha!
Gulp!
Back out of form
Chile fully deserved that, they could be playing for another 10 hours and Spain wouldn't score. Not too disappointed as they are a team that did it before for me many times past. Just have to pick a new international team now to follow!
Croatia V Cameroon
Croatia to win 4/6
Red card in game 12/5
Croatia to score a peno 6/1 - maybe the ref will feel sorry for them?
edit: Anti post - Down 31.17

Spain gone, England gone, Greece and Switzerland not doing it.
Ok still have Germany and Portugal to turn it round for me!
Back when some of my anti posts kick in
Well got some decent money back for this one, would have got twice as much if they had not only gone and scored a goal with 10 minutes left, which tied the bet. Anyhow rather than banking the money just did a few bets for today
Sneaky pound on Chile to win Wcup, 25/1
Chile/Colombia win double 12.3/1
Colombia to win 3-1 18/1
A Sanchez to score a/t 16/5
James Rodriguez to score a/t 12/5
Neymar to score a/t 8/13
And over 4 plus goals in both games 10.5/1
All with PP
The ESPN pregame just talked me out of throwing a bet on Chile.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Got me money back
so for today's games
Draw and Costa Rica win double 8.92/1
Holland V Mexico
Game to be decided by penos 9/2
Rafael Marquez a/t scorer 10/1
A Robben a/t scorer 9/5
R van Persie a/t scorer 7/5
2-2 draw at 13/1
Costa Rica V Greece
J Campbell a/t scorer 11/4
Nearly a wipe out at this stage, only Germany and Switzerland left for me now!
Today's bets
All four teams to score today 7/2
Messi a/t scorer 8/13
Shaqiri a/t scorer 4/1 and 60/1 to score two or more, why not I am in Switzerland after all!
Messi to score from a free kick is 9/1
Hopefully claw back some money
I have USA draw no bet @7/4 and Di Maria a/t scorer Argentina win @16/5
Tallaght Stadium Regular
France to Qualify at Evens seems like a great Bet today.
Also the competitions top scorer at 10/3 to score anytime seems great value
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
