What I find amazing is who the hell would lay Trinidad at that price? Why risk €26 to win a bloody euro? :)Quote:

As it turned out I was wrong they were right and i'm sure they'll enjoy the pint that my €4 will nearly buy.
Just to let you know that you can put any size bet on Betfair. To put a €1 bet on do the following. Choose your bet and put the odds to something ridiculous which won't be matched. Then change the stakes in your bet to €5 and there'll be 2 seperate bets (one for €4 and one for €1). Cancel the €4 bet and change the odds of the €1 bet to something that will be matched.
It does come in handy when you want to throw a euro or 2 on a big long shot. :)
you obvisously need a credit card to use betfair,ya?
I stuck 50p on a draw, just incase, in the last 10 minutes or so and ended
up losing that too!!
I always bet very small stakes because basically I am useless at it!!
I had a double on the game last night. Peter Crouch to score the first and England to win 2-0. Very mixed feelings at the final whistle I can tell you.
Might put a big bet on an Argentina and Mexico double.Odds of just over Evens
I have backed Mexico to win at 4/11.
I bet I lose, I always seem to!!
Wish I hadn't bothered now.
You are better off using a Laser card as there's no fee for taking the money off or putting it back (hopefully) on to your card.There's a fee I think its 1.5%Quote:

well that's what u get for betting on the Czechs with their two main strikers injured. they'll be missing another striker now against Italy, u should pile your money on them !Quote:

I was going to back the Czechs but I as a bit busy and Ghana scored
before I was ready to lay it. I decided to give it a miss after that (could still
have bet in running).
Gonna put 15p on the USA to win for a laugh.(9-1)
I think it is a good idea to watch the first five minutes and then bet in
running though, at least you can then see which team has turned up and which team has not AKA Mexico yesterday.
You can still get the USA at 8-1.
I put another 50p on.
Seems a fair bet they have had 55% of the possession.
I never win though :)
Italy score 2 minutes later!!
1:1
Italy down to 10 men.
Maybe, just maybe :D
Thats what its all about AJ.Quote:

Betting tip, do the opposite of what I do and you will probably
make a fortune.:D
I'm going to have to win it back at poker now (again :rolleyes: ).
Any way at all sure;)Quote:

I have backed against Brazil by the way.
Looking good....so far.....
Typical!! 2 minutes later they score.
Brazil are brutal, time to lay them again and get more on Argentina
*Hoping Mickelson wins the golf tonight to fund all this activity*
Brazil.....what can i say,LAY them.
Whoever they get in the next round,back the other team.
f*ck france, 2 games in a row they let me down. torres at 14/1 for top goalscorer is great value considering they still have to play the mighty tunisia&saudis. thankfully i got him at 28/1
ya might back him cos my Klose and Pualeta bets arent looking great now.
Klose has 2 and Pualeta only 1.
Bet for today....Swiss half time/full time.
Also,pile onto Spain -1.
anyone heed my advice?tricky,please say you did......Quote:

not much to bet on today,althougt there are 4 games but wont bet on the other games.
I have gone for a double today, a draw in the England Sweden game and a draw in the Germany Ecuador game. I think the England Sweden game has draw written all over it as it will suit both teams. 10/1 i got for that double.
might bet for a swedish player to score first :D
Germany and Ecuador were never going to draw.Germany played a full team while Ecuador played a weakend side.waste of money,even if it was only €10.Quote:

At half time backed under5 corners and with 1.5 minutes left,ecuador got the 5th corner.
Ah well,Klose is back in the running for Top Scorer....happy days.
I did not know Ecuador would drop 5 players. I thought they would want to avoid England but maybe they feel that Sweden and England are a much of a muchness and I think they could be right in that.
We all dont have access to Bet Fair or abilty to bet on running from work so we have to make judgements before the game goes ahead or possibly a few days before the game goes ahead. No need to be such a ****ing know it all.

sure only put a couple of quid on it so dont really care, but someone to come all across as smug and a know all and shooting down a bet is just smug in my view.
Neil,all you had to do was read a paper or something to hear about the line up before putting on the bet.
I dont have access to betfair either but knew Germany would still beat them.
Anywho,England at 7/5 are a great price to win,with Rooney starting and hopefully Lennon aswell.
I said it was a waste of money....which it was.You cant really argue with that.Quote:
