World Cup Golden Boot

theyll get 4 between them

mbappe ffs.  should be 200

i guess the 12th highest scorer in france last year with 13 goals at 36s is value to some

dont forget golden boot isnt the same as top scorer for betting porpoises


golden boot is awarded to top scorer, but if there is a tie it is awarded to top scorer who had most assists...
if they are tied for assists also then its least playing time.

There was an ! For a reason

Diego Costa 38s, will start every game up top for spain, will outscore most strikers in the comp imo.

a messi or neymar hat trick is always possible hence their prices

what if playing time is identical ?

Mueller is GATG

mes

i guess then its a tie

unless they just give it to messi

Donny and mesmerised still here after all these years

Hope you are well

Where’s alesi85 ?

looking at the fixtures, id expect spain to turn over morocco and iran for 3 or 4 goals, panama are also dire having watched loads of their qualifying so the england and belgium teams could be involved in a 5-6 goal game

I've only ever seen Marathonbet state in their rules and settle on the Official Golden Boot winner.  All others settle on most goals with dead heat rules AFAIK

I'd go for Kane or Griezman myself if I had to have a bet

i thought betfair ran both markets ?

Morocco are the best team in Africa imo with a defence at least as good as most of the European teams.  Iran are underated too, and both are very defensive as are Portugal.  It's the hardest group of the lot imo

Will Costa start up front over Morata ?

Lukaku worth a look too yep

france play denmark, peru and aus.  i know nothing about the aussies but peru are grafters and looked alright in qualifying, i dont think theyll have any big scoresin their group

very well cheers viddy

hope you are very well too viddy !

don't think so donny, although I might be wrong.

costa up top for sure, he scored before getting injured when they hammered argentina 6-1 in march

I think France's group is weaker.  Portugal are better than Denmark, Iran are better than Australia and Morocco are better than Peru (on paper at least)  Peru missing their captain

De Gea, Carvajal, Piqué, Ramos, Alba, Koke, Thiago, Iniesta, Isco, Costa, Asensio

that was the xi who started that game, would expect alcantara to start ahead of iniesta at the worlds.  possible saul niguez aswell, they seem to love him in spain

very well ty.
Alesi85 went to the same place as Rs1, Kenilworth, UKMalaria, AlexTOWR, Jason Dodd, TMO, JOCI CLUB, The Special One, Hornets and Devlin, the Betfair Graveyard

Plus the teams in Spain's group are much more defensive. Iran had the best defensive record in Asia, Morocco had the best defensive record in Africa and Portugal and Spain conceded 4 and 3 respectively in qfying

Was the sponsors choice when the gave him the Golden Ball in Brazil for an underwhelming performance so wouldn't be surprised.

portugal are wank, spain will batter them.  is this post a wind up?

didnt holland beat them 3-0 in portugal a couple of months ago

Hornets he must be out of prison by now ?

i guess this is what the exchange is good for, pitting opinions against each other and making money from it

Back lukaku before the cup final tomorrow imo

One freak friendly result in a game in which Portugal had twice as many shots, a red card and 7 corners to the Dutch's 0.  Dtill the only group bet I've had is Morocco to qualify and the Spain/Morocco group forecast, but that's primarily because I rate Morocco (and Spain) rather than think Portugal are weak.

The Dutch aren't very good atm like, as England proved recently

how many goals does the top scorer score historically?

5-6

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_awards#Golden_Boot

yeah im seeing the table now, seems you only need to get your side to the semis to score 6

quarters even

Hornets definitely wasn't the full shilling poor sod, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niY1xWMFx14

Doesn’t take many goals. Higuain hit a hatrick and came close for eg. Great for trading big numbers

all in all it doesnt seem a good market really the more i look at it, not with everything else on offer

Fwiw Peru lost 2-0 away in Bolivia and Chile drew 0-0 at home to Bolivia.  Chile made an official complaint about the eligibilty of one of the Bolivian players which was upheld and both Peru and Chile were awarded 3-0 wins.  It in effect cost Chile a place in the WC final at the expense of Peru, as Chile and Peru finished level on points. 

Who was the guy who told us to back james rodriguez ?, i want his input.

assume argentina get to the quarters, whats messis price for a goal going to be in each game?

v iceland 1/2
v croatia 6/5
v nigeria 4/6 (assuming he plays and they arent through already and they need a goal/point)

if they are top of their group theyll play the runners up in the french group, so peru, aus or denmark.  if its denmark he'll not be far off even money again

quarters theyll likely face spain and he'll be 2/1 for a goal.

got to assume he'll need to score 2/3 v iceland AND nigeria to collect the golden boot.

its such a **** market though, he could get a hat trick in any game, which he probably needs and the price will be higher than 12s in every match

looking at it id have to go for the costa odds, assuming 5 starts theres no way hes a 38s shot.

coutinho 75s
william 160

chile didnt deserve it anyway

no mention of suarez ? should get a run providing he doesn't bite someone.

mentioned Cavani in a similar thread a few weeks ago, was 33/1 at the time, scored twice as many goals as Suarez in qualifying and only played 2 more games, scored 35 goals for PSG this season, Suarez 26.

hornets was a fukkkking tit.

grown a nice little tash ffs.
to tickle his clients balls with i bet.

careful callisto..I believe hornets was handy with his fists.

Not many guys of his size would call out David Haye.

he actually put up James for the Golden Ball not the Boot, but still at 100/1 could have laid off for plenty

i couldnt trust cavani on his own but with suarez along side he should have loads of chances tee'd up for him

only bet i can see tonight (now that nyc have come and gone) is sjeq to beat dc united in the morning

some good stuff tomorrow night though.  can kansas get ANOTHER away win after turning over atlantalona?  could be a good inplay bet there depending on how the ref deals with them

lay that cavianni flop.

... my mole in Liverpool tells me Mo Salah is worth a speculative punt. ?? 

He was matched at 100 for a pound.

that could well be classed as speculative. 

to be fair you obviously want a striker in a team that are going to keep qualifying and egypt might struggle there. !

Salah could score 6 in 3 matches and set a target. Personally, I would take a chance at 100 but not 28. Good luck though!

he actually put up James for the Golden Ball not the Boot, but still at 100/1 could have laid off for plenty

pretty sure he also mentioned may be worth backing golden boot at 150/1 as well.

I think there is a good chance Rodrigo starts up front for Spain rather than Costa. Rather be on him at 100/1 than Costa.

was pure robbery that messi beat james to player of tourn 4 years ago.

morata didnt make the squad, costa nailed on for 16 goals

Said in other thread Iago Aspas no surprise they left that mug Morata out.....2 more at the weekend back from injury he as sharp as button the last 2 seasons Costa is just an overrated clogger. Still not in this market but 80/1 elsewhere.

Anyone that actually watches Spain would not be backing Costa, he is not the focal point and Spain do not play a style that suits him.

Clacher mocking the op for backing someone at 38's because he only scored 13 goals this season in the league then tipping up a striker who scored 3 goals this season in the league at the same price is the kind of stuff that makes the betfair forum priceless.

what price would you make a match bet for total tournament goals?

mbappe v costa

i think its because ive actually watched spain that i think costa will score a few.

a few on here still think they will have alonso, iniesta, xavi and biscuits tapping it around the middle.  isco, asensio, niguez and koke are not those types of players, spain have changed.  they are still very good though.

mbappe v costa

I'm not going to price it up. I'm just commenting on your absurd reasoning.

They are still a supreme passing team that will start with Iniesta / Busquets / Silva / Alcantara and possibly Rodrigo over Costa - though I would expect the latter.

They are in a group with three tight arsed defences, Portgual, Iran who conceded 3 goals in 8 matches and Morocco who conceded the grand sum on 0 in 6.

It took a 91st minute goals for Argentina to score past Iran in the 2014 World Cup after drawing 0-0 with Nigeria previously - Carlos Quieroz is still their manager.

Think there are better options. Think Cavani will rip up his group.

youd want to beon the pen taker between suarez and cavani, no idea who takes them but either would be a decent bet

Costa will play for spain and they are very good this time, i like the look of brazil to go deep but will jesus start? Messi will play deep for argentina so dont see him scoring many as usual
