Struggling to see outside Mexico or USA & both can be backed at 7-4. It's a dutch that isn't going to make you enormously wealthy but even so…

There have been 12 GCs - USA have won 5, Mexico 6. Only Canada in 2000 have broken their stronghold.

Costa Rica had a good WC last year but will likely end up playing USA in the semi-final. The USA are playing at home, & have been playing really well under Klinsmann.

Mexico have saved their best squad for this after taking their 'B' squad to the Copa America.

I reckon the drift is due to the fact they are missing some important players for this cup Navas,Urena,Tejada and Duarte are not there.Bolanos retired and the manager Pinto left aswell, Wanchope doesn't have much experience.

Most of El Salvadors players are home based.Trust me, the league there is terrible.Don't know much about Canada but I think they have brought a fairly young team.

Other than that, I lived in El Salvador for a while!Great people, unfortunately suffering from horrific violence.
So, for me no bet.But, I would be delighted if El Salvador could get something Excited

Yeah mate, fluently.Its actually probably the easiest language to learn.Trust me, I was terrible at languages in school.But, living in the country makes a huge difference.
Especially, in places like San Salvador where there are almost no foreigners and next to nobody speaks English.
Being immersed in it constantly makes it so much easier.Obviously you have to study it too but it makes a huge difference.

Yeah, would be tough in the UK.Here's a tip...download the Simpsons in Spanish with English subtitles.Listen to music in Spanish etc.
It's surprisingly effective.One of the first things I did was bought season five of the Simpsons in Spanish.Then, watched it over and over.
Downloaded Mexican ranchera music etc.
Along with a frequency dictionary.Its very useful as it lists words in order of how often they are used.

If I had to go for something I'd say Canada.
It's just that the Salvadoran league is so weak.I know Honduras played really well with a lot of home based players.
But, the Honduran league is much better.They have a few decent teams there.
Thing is, I know absolutely nothing about Canada....

Looks like Cuba will have to make do with the 16 players they have.So far no news about the others having arrived.Means that they will have to play an outfield player in goal because the only available keeper (Sandy Sanchez) is suspended.
Didnt see the Canada game.But, i heard they were pretty bad.Jamaica might be a decent bet to beat them in the next game at around 2.5

By the way, look at this for a miss in last nights game!!

lay bet on 0-0 when the odds were 5.7 at the end of first half between Mexico and Gautemala. Earlier lost a cricket bet on CPL. Now tried to make my 200£ back from the CPL loss and lost a 1000£. Totally feel depressed and think betting is not for me. Should have bet on djokovic to win wimbledon but second guessed myself after Federer thrashing Murray and beleiving in destiny and one last great effort from Federer. Damn my world is collapsing. :(

Chasing? Overstaking? Who the feck hasn't been there?? We all got fecked badly at some point.
These days I don't do the crazy sh1t I used to do, costing me thousands.
I was running a thread here, with my bets, nobody interested of course, it was ran in a professional approah to betting. I left it alone.
Yesterday, I promised myself not to get involved in the USA Haiti match... FFS.
At 20 minutes into the 1st half, the odds for over 1.5 had drifted badly, so I thought it was value to back it... fecked.
Also backed USA -1... fecked
And the icing on the cake, backed 0-0 at HF to trade out in 5 minutes for a few ticks win. USA scored minute 47... fecked.

All the winnings from the last 2 weeks from betting with discipline, all gone in just one fecking game, in which I had no intentions to get involved.
Report Rasiak9 July 13, 2015 2:38 PM BST
Sorry to hear that things have gone so wrong for a lot of people here.

My advice is just to make sure that you only gamble what you can afford to lose. Set yourself aside a budget from your work salary each month and assume that you'll vapourise it in its entirety (and enjoy whatever you win/manage to hold on to)

A major problem with gambling is that the stuff that would make you a good gambler (discipline, patience etc.) is so antithetical to what attracts people to gambling in the first place!

The one thing I would say however is its no disgrace whatsoever to lose money gambling and its not a sign of a lack of intelligence. One of the smartest people I know (1st in Maths from Russell Group uni - started at PWC on £31500 p/a aged 22) was a horrendous gambler and had to ban himself. Its an addiction like any other and if it becomes a problem, then you either quit, or learn to live with your addiction.

Don't beat yourself up about it. Never trust a man with no vices!
