'safe' bet approach to world cup. Only worth a go with decent bank.

GL Tony. Probably safe to say you'll be more successful than me (see thread on this page).

at least if brazil game has 7 goals everything will be fine! u never know.

bet 1 won.
£56.18.

Next bet will prob involve chile aus game.

As far as safe bets go, No new winner looks nailed on at 1.19.  If Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Germany, France, Spain or Italy don't win it than I'm giving up.  Oh and England of course .

thats a good bet but I'd have to wait.
bet 2.£56.00 australia no clean sheet @ 1.16.

Good luck mate.

You not fancy anything in Mexico Cameroon game?

no, anything could happen tho i imagine bookings will be rife.

is there anything like a 'safe' bet in football? I'll follow the thread and try with small stakes, don't dare to use my bank for this though.

I took Australia not winning the group @90

bet 2 won thinking about tomorrow

bal. £64.66.

most of the games appear difficult tomorrow but may back costa rica no clean sheet. will decide tomorrow as I don't think theyre pushovers.

bet 3 £64  costa rica no clean sheet @ 1.17.

good luck, Tony

for anyone that can get on, 888sport have first time winner ''yes'' @ 5, Laddies have ''no'' @ 1.28. I've arbed and will put the ''arb'' on the Dutch @ 11. free bet on them, only lose a tenner if some other first timer wins it, pretty unlikely

the Dutch @ 14 actually

bet 3 won.
bet 4. £74.34 eng italy o 0.5 goals @ 1.14.Maybe not that safe but im going on the premise that goals have been flying in so far this world cup, almost like 0-0 not allowed, lets hope this isnt the first.

saved by the penalty spot.

Can't see many goals in this game.

I'm not on here, but I've layed Costa Rico winning the group, so a draw the worst to get

bet 4 won.
BAL. £84.23.

great idea about the no clean sheets

I Know. Hoping to play even safer as honduras arent playing england this time.
£84.00
France honduras. o 0.5 @ 1.08.

bet 5 obviously.

Don't you think Bosnia no clean sheet is a better bet than the over 0.5 in the Fra/Hon game? Can't trust France, Jekyll & Hyde team.

i was going to do that, it was a toss up, may still do that actually if there's a goal in france game.France wont fail to score.

france are crap. didnt you get the memo?

id rather back argentina to score at 1.01 than france to score at 1.30. never mind both the same odds. argentina definitely will score. france probably will, but i wouldnt bet on it.

cant see them failing like eng did against same team. Ill prob do argentina game anyway.

well no, youll probably be ok. but theyve got previous of c0cking up.

last world cup they only scored 1 goal in 3 games, 2002 when they were holders they scored 0 goals in 3 games against senegal, uruguay and denmark. 2008 euros they scored 1 goals in 3 games. and they had better players in all those than they have now. giroud and benzema couldnt hit a cows arse with a banjo.

maybe i shouldve listened..not looking great so far

Bullet dodged

1.08 landed  ,,,,,,,,,,,BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

bet 5 won.
bet 6. £90.00 bosnia no clean sheet @ 1.09.

I think a;; roght minded people want to see this threa succeed for a couple of weeks.  Set a target of when you are going to call it a day and draw.  Good luck Tony

And that effort was on an alcohol free day!!!!  Won't bother editing it!

t y c p! dunno 'bout withdrawing because every time, apart from once, Ive put up similar 'challenge' type threads I always fail to withdraw profits and eventually lose. I will,withdraw, soon i hope, but not yet..also worrying that we havent had a 0-0 yet and theres always one waiting to bite you just around the corner.
Hopefully not today.
bet 6 won
bal. £97.69.

bet 7. ger portugal not a great price but surely after what has gone on before there'll be a goal or two in this game....o 0.5 @ 1.06.

get to 100 and retire  ,stick it in an ISA  1.0250 and continue the run in russia 2018 ,dont go  broke tony .

Double your 50 Tony, you are one bet away, then withdraw your original outlay and go for broke with what's left of the kitty and ride it to the final.

good idea and i bet the goals dry up in the 2nd phase of this world cup.

good advice from the rhino ,and good luck with it tony!

any bet tonight you would recommend?

bet 7 won
bal. £103.25
withdraw 50
carry on with £53.

Looking, bb but haven't decided, not doing iran game that's for sure.

oh, missed the last

glad i didnt bother with Iran game anyway.
bet 8. continuing with £53.
waiting on price but itll be mex no clean sheet, hoping it at least goes back to 1.11 or something

Smart move avoiding Iran Tony. Wish I had.

johnny btw in spite of spain's shocking performance last time out, I think you may just get your 7 goal game when they play australia.

I think theyll want to show the world again what they can do and put things right

Thanks Tony. I think there will be at least one 7 goal game but if there isn't, at least cashing out on the Spain - Holland match reduced liabilities considerably.

A lay of Mexico or Brazil +1 looks good today tony

no mexico clean sheet at 1.10 is as safe as houses.

yes, thats what im doing now. mex no clean sheet 1.1.

leaving algeria belgium i dont like the look of it.

me too. people saying belgium will muller them. they may do, they may not. hard to say really. could be 6-0, could be 0-0.

why not just lay Mexico at the same price?

not something i would do. if brazil score, and they 100% definitely will, the bet is won.
if you lay mexico, thats pretty much never the case until the game is over.

shocks do happen. could have layed uruguay against costa rica. layed spain against holland.
layed algeria against belgium. layed bosnia against argentina. layed brazil against croatia. already, youd have done your bollocks in twice and had very nervy times in the other 3.

if youd layed the clean sheet in all 5, youd have won the lot and had 4 of the bets up inside half an hour.

*layed croatia against brazil

and * layed holland against spain!

you know what i mean!

getting worried now!

unlucky. keeper was incredible.

At least you didn't lose Tony. Bad luck.

have a chevy on Croatia in the next tony ,you know you want to .

he who dares wins

well back to the start. As you say, I least i havent lost.
1.holland to win 1.24.

bal. £61.40
bet 2. chile no clean sheet 1.14.

Just spotted that 1/7. 1/12 elsewhere. looks big, if 1/7 can ever be called big.

as I said, there's nothing safe in this sport

Yep, got burned on that one too. Lost all my 1st week profits there

You are just backing small odds without much thought. Did you know how good Chile were? Your netherlands bet wasnt value either.

Chile almost always concede, so that was very unlucky. But Chile thoroughly deserved it last night, no question.

Chile almost always concede

They were playing a woeful Spanish side with the woeful Costa up from. I thought it was funny when Torres replaced him. **** for ****
