What I find amazing is who the hell would lay Trinidad at that price? Why risk €26 to win a bloody euro?
It was worth a shot. At that price i'd have been kicking myself if they'd pulled off a win. I only put on the minimum bet allowed on betfair €4. There was plenty of money available at that price (about €2000 if memory serves me correctly). They were willing to loose €104 just to win €4 (- 5% tax).What I find amazing is who the hell would lay Trinidad at that price? Why risk €26 to win a bloody euro?
Obviously english fan/fans who believed that no matter how bad the team were playing that they would still win. With the way england were playing in the 1st half I thought they'd only manage the 0-0 draw. Don't know what gave them such confidence.
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%
for credit cards.
Mexico are a fecking disgrace.
I am sitting here watching them flushing my money down the drain
without a care in the world.
thank god i didnt back that.
Portugal,Italy and Czechs all to win today,worth at least €10
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 !
Ghana 11/2. 8 euro bet = thank u very much Paddy Power.
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
Thats what its all about AJ.
Balls on the Reeperbahn. Happy days!!
Mens sana in corpore sano
Unbelievable, just my luck, the USA end up one man down
rather than one man up!!!!
And they had a goal disallowed (I though I was quids in).
Betting tip, do the opposite of what I do and you will probably
make a fortune.
I'm going to have to win it back at poker now (again).
