2.5+ Chile backers in clover, wp chaps.

2-2 ARG

nothing contrived about this so far

BOOM just needed one goal of chile for a juicy win but i dont complain of the second.

gonna cover the 3-3 as well just in case Chile score by accident

2-0 HT

There's the Chile team talk - "don't forget guys this has to finish a draw"

I agree with Chile dark horse comments. I think there is some value for them at 66/1 to win the tournament. For me they're the third best South American side behind Brazil and Argentina.

these games where the draw is odds on @ SP rarely get contrived , maybe some Italian league games near the end of the season and I seem to remember a World cup group game many years ago , where the 2 teams just were not attacking and tapping it around with no intention of attacking

Chile are a dark horse, they drew away to Brazil and were only a minute away from beating Spain last month.

However i think their style of play will ultimately see them undone in defence.

Italia '90 was their best chance , england need a winter world cup to have any chance at all , Qatar 2022 might be held in the European winter i heard , EPL season and european cup runs must have an effect on some of the squad

just posting my opinion Jam , like you , thats all

It doesn't seem to happen that much, but there's still been times that a draw has been a pretty convenient result for the sides involved and the odds have reflected it. I seem to remember the odds on the draw being odds on, and the 0-0 being quoted as short as 6/4 in places in a Champion's League game between Arsenal and Porto(?) I think it was where a draw would have seen them both qualify for the knockout phase.

It surprised me at the time to see it being banded around in a Champions League game, much like it does in these types of games, and for the majority of the match both sides went for it all guns blazing, I remember a fair few great saves and at one or two points the woodwork was well and truly left shaking, IF it was set from the off to be a 0-0, then it was the luckiest case of a "Fixed score" I'd ever seen.

The thing I do remember the most from that game though is that the last 10 minutes of the match were dull... extremely dull... and the game petered out to finish 0-0, and both teams got the point they needed. I did question whether or not it would have been a different last 10 minutes had one of those chances been converted, but I can safely say that for most of the game both sides really went for it. I wouldn't rule out the draw here, laying the draw was a great move by the guys that have done it. I am also happy at being able to trade out on the Any Unquoted in the other game, but I'm happy now to have a small investment in the draw here based on the beliefs before the game

3-2 - this could be something crazy like 6-3

We saw a similar pattern with the Italian games last season. Games that were mutually beneficial were traded on expectation rather than reality, over half of them landed, however. I wouldn't rule out a draw here if the other game goes crazy.

why exactly would Chile let Ecuador have a draw?

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL 2-1
