QuoteFor tonight's game, the best of my bets are as follows
Backed the draw at 4/1
Croatia plus 2 8/11
10 corners or more at 10/11
over 2.5 goals at 21/20
Plus other small bets
Spent 31.75
Another World Cup to get excited about
Got Spain last time, but wasnt a good tourno overall for punters, hopefully this one will be a bit better
Did about three pages of pre tourno bets, but I will save you the hassle of all that and just name a few of the better ones.
Mostly going for Spain as I think they have the most compete squad
Backed Spain to win again at 13/2, 16/5 to reach the final
Costa to be player of the tourno at a whopping 40/1
Torres at 50/1 top scorer, Spain and Torres to win 100/1
Germany to reach final at 5/2
Spain Germany final a pretty good 20/1, Spain first and Germany second 33/1
Sturridge at 50/1 to be top scorer, feel he will get a few v Costa Rica, and i cant see anyone getting more than 5/6 goals in this world cup, so top boot might be won by anyone really.
England out on penos at 8/1, a value bet imho, how many times have we seen this happening?
Portugal to reach the semis at 4/1 and knocked out at semis 7/1
Switzerland to get to the last 8 is 3/1 and no knocked out there 9/2
Greece to top group is 6/1, very manageable for a very weak group, and 3/1 to be knocked out in 2nd rd
ivory coast 25/1 most red cards, novelty bet
iran at 9/2 to score the least amount of goals and 8/15 to finish bottom of their group. brilliant prices me thinks.
Thats a few of the bets there, not counting all the wacky accums i did which i will post when they come up
edit: sorry all prices are PP
edit edit: spent 100 on all my pre tourno bets

Benno I think you may have a problem.
Have had a fiver on the Dutch at 33/1 on Betfair, if they beat Spain I will lay it off. If they don't...well then I won't!
Think I will do singles and doubles at the tournament progresses. But Ivory coast stands out at 13/8 to beat Japan on Sat night.
Enjoy it lads!
Spain, Mexico and Chile -1 treble tomorrow night is 9/1. Free money if you ask me.
Argentina at 4/1 is a good shout to win outright.

Disappointed with Croatia, thought they were muck really. That goalie was a mind feck, wtf!!
Chile - Australia
Over 2.5 goals is 1/1, Chile to win 3-1 12/1
Spain - Holland
Fabregas at 3/1 to score a goal
Cameroon - Mexico
Cameroon to win and both teams to score 8/1
over 2.5 goals at 8/5
Cameroon to win at 14/5
Think that Mexican team hasnt improved since the last world cup, so they could be there for a beaten if Cameroon have their heads screwed on
Get in
Down a little bit (6.20) but thanks to Chile I am back in the game!
Today/Tonight
Cameroon V Japan
Ivory Coast to win and both teams to score is 9/2
Honda to score is 11/4
IC to win -1 is 4/1
Fancy IC, they have a strong team, but hope they turn up, unlike Cameroon.
Italy V England
Draw and both teams to score is 7/2
Balotelli to score 12/5
Draw is 2/1
First game draw, imagine it will be cagey enough on a bumpy pitch.
Uruguay V Costa Rica
Uruguay -2 is 10/3
Over 2.5 goals 23/20
Should be plenty of goals in this game
Colombia V Greece
Greece to win to nil 11/2
Greece to score a peno 14/1
Greece to win 17/4
Greece have beaten better teams than this over the years
Doesn't bode well if you're not sure which African nation is playing?

Ivory Coast and Colombia double. Can't see Greece doing much.
England are 2/1 to beat Italy. That surely underestimates their chance but I'll go 5/6 draw NB as I'm gutless!
Didn't lay off the Dutch as they are still a big enough price at 12/1 ish.
Ha ha yeah, sleep deprivation already! And 4 games today/tonight, jeez!Doesn't bode well if you're not sure which African nation is playing?
Down 52 cents. if Cameroon had just scored one more goal! Had Honda to score first and IC to win 3/1,was 70/1! Anyway as long as I am not down after the first round I willbe happy.
God I am so tired, and have to head to Zurich airport soon!!!
I banked 9.50

Today's bets
Treble: Switzerland, France and Argentina at about 4.6/1
Switzerland V Ecuador
Switzerland to score in both halves 3/1
Switzerland to win and both teams to score 4/1
Switzerland to win 11/8
Over 2.5 goals 5/4
Living in Switzerland I fancy them surely! But they have a decent team anyway and id expect them to be fairly solid and have enough to beat an Ecuadorian team that id presume will be rubbish at corners.
France V Honduras
France to score in both halves 1/1
France to win both halves 7/4
over 2.5 goals 3/4
People are talking up this French team, well today is there chance to hit the ground running.
Argentina V Bosnia and Hertz
Argentina to score a peno 9/2
Argentina to win and both teams to score 2/1
Over 2.5 goals 8/13
Messi to score 8/13
Will be a tough game for Argentina but once they score one they could get a few
Yesterday, great day of footballing and gambling
Forgot to say at start I started with 100 pounds to bet with on the games everyday. (so 200 spent in total, with the anti post bets as well)
So won 80 smackers yesterday, which I will bank, so that's 89.98 banked overall. Happy days
Germany V Portugal
Doubling my stakes now!
Draw and both teams to score is 10/3
Bastian Schweinsteiger to score anytime 9/2
Ronaldo to score anytime is 11/10
over 2.5 goals 4/6
Draw at 13.5
2-2 is 11/1
All the stars in this years world cup have shined so far so there is no reason Ronaldo cant get on the score sheet today, especially since his rival Messi had such a cracking second half yesterday.
Tight to call a winner in this game so went with the safe option of a draw which might suit both teams in the first game of a tough group.
Sending off kind of messed up that game
Anyway lost a bit with that one
Nigeria V Iran
Nigeria to score a peno 7/1
Race to 5 corners 6/5 Nigeria (great bet imho)
Nigeria to score in both halves 9/4
Nigeria -3 is 14/1
Nigeria to win and both teams not to score 15/8
Gone for Nigeria -1 12/5 for an interest €10
At least I have $12 million dollars in that Nigerian bank account to fall back on.
Anyone know where exactly a 3 digit security code is located?
Nigeria, and a non trying team performance, remind me about the controversy in the Scotland game again, ha!
Usa V Ghana
3-1 to USA 25/1
USA 21/10 to win game
11/10 over 2.5 goals
M Bradley to score any time 5/1
USA -1 is 5/1
and Bradley to score any time and 3-1 is 60/1
Reckon Klinsman will have the usa def fired up for this one
Jees I dunno Benno looks a tight call of a game to me, Ghana slight favorites. Good luck.
Thinking Belgium (-1) and Brazil (-1) double tomorrow.
UP 52.53, USA getting such a good start thought I was going to get them all there, but lucky in the end again, phew.
Today's bets
Russia V Korea
Russia first to 5 corners 21/20
Russia 19/20 to win game
Russia 3-1 is 16/1
Brazil V Mexico

over 2.5 goals 8/13
Brazil 4-1 18/1
Belgium V Algeria
Belgium to score in both halves 11/10

Treble of Russia, Belgium and Brazil is a decent
