First bet of the tournee has been struck by moi,France lay @2.28

0-0 [:D]

Second bet,layin the Greeks innit

Big Argentina win with Milito and Higuain in the goals please.

USA victory/point would be nice as well.

I'm such a fool. I went from saying 0-0 on here and fancying unders and just because France had a decent start I lump a massive bet on them. There is deffo something wrong with me.

Bubbles laid @2.84

Think the SK/Gre game will prob be a draw, 1-1.

Argentina are hard to weight up, but they should dispose of Nigeria if they are to prove their doubters wrong - Arg -1 @11/10.

Eng/USA - lay England, and a little extra on the draw.
Jozy Altidore FGS @12s.

GL.

19:30 England v USA (TV) - Asian Handicap (-1)

Laid England -1 @evens on ze Asian handicap

Nigeria + 2 for me. Argentina struggled past Uruguay and we seen how sh1t they were yesterday. We seen what a clueless manager can do to a team with France yesterday. Admittedly Argentina have better players. Not too sure how good Nigeria are either.

Greened up,job done

england 2-1

argies 2-0

Laid England -1 @evens on ze Asian handicap

Green screen

Dempsey :-) If only that Mphela shot had went in instead of hitting the post my acca wouldn't look so unlikely now.

england are wank- no technical ability and keep giving the ball away. even a country that doesn't even play the game are at least the equal of us.

can you see a team containing heskey, crouch, carragher and green being world cup winners? i don't think so.

England were dire, I'd do a better job than Capello

0.00000% chance of dem gettin near winnin a WC

Laying Germany -1 on the Asian @1.93

ME ..NEVER GONA BET ON THOSE **** AGAIN

TT WELL DONE

thanks Earl,can't believe ya backed em tbh [smiley:crazy]

YEH not for much i just play the scores and i always lay 0-0 half time except tonight ffs don't give a fukk about the game tbh .  laid italy in the group stage and backed Spain outright and will play the 0-0 HT on certain games but not gona bet on those **** again

Roll on Ascot

have i got this totally wrong   but are south africa to qualify to worst 7/4 shots ever  i though they would be 4/1

I think it's perhpas to do with Home advantage and France having a useless manager at the helm,tbh ..

spot on MP. We have no technical abiltiy at all and struggle to keep the ball. Although Gerrard played well he tries to do killer passes when they are not on and ends up giving the ball away. Why cant they just use their heads ??

As soos as we come up against anyone with a decent technical abilty we'll be found out imo.

And how's about our Squad ? We have numerous players that have had injury blighted seasons that could leave us thread bare.  Heskey,J Cole,Lennon,King.

a good start for RvP backers imo , with the likes of Higuain,Tevez,Messi and Rooney all drawing blanks yesterday.

laid ...under 3.5 goals

Agree sint, got some decent enough prices for Top4 scorer so happy enuf

Early
Germans look v good, albeit against a carp team.

Das agree Ausi shat bunch but the Germans always play a good game in these events why the fukk can't we do it last night so many bad balls terrible performance from some top players .

After that brilliant performance in Norway last night, I've got stuck into Germany on here at 16's.   


Can't believe they were the price they were and England who have almost no chance were 7's! 

Yes fair point Fastbear. I almost forgot they were finalist in Euro 2008 aswell.

Mesut Oesil is a decent player in the making. His value will soar after this comp.

Spain starting with defeat to Switzerland

At least this gives me a distraction from Ascot

Good night for my Uruguay and Forlan bets. A few other on Forlan as well iirc.

**** off Ascot.

fking come on Forlan

Far From Trouble     08 Jun 10 18:39 
Has to be Barca. Henry on side as well.

Not my type of market tbf

Pele at 40/1 in the  Who Will Maradona Verbally Insult 1st? is more my type of bet



I notice he had a dig at him in a press conference recently

Surely Fabio has layed England on his Betfair account?! 

I can confirm he has!

I bet Maradonna is pi$$in himself! 

That's the only good decision he's made since last week! Wtf was he doin in the squad anyway![>o]

Let's face it, England no longer have any players or manager that are capable of even mixing it with minnows. Win or lose, they are all sadly lacking.   

After their excellent defensive/attacking display yesterday against some decent opposition .. im going all in on Brazil [:o]

9/2 here.

My Mexico-Uruguay Group A Dual f/c bet just copped

well done Deep.

Villa missing that Pen could be costly imo ..

Spain did not look too clever last night I thought... should have won by 4 or 5 goals and Torres way off it at the moment.

The knock-out stages will be really good entertainment.

Wd deep!

Had france not to qualify @9/4 & Mexico to qualify in a few trebles.

Nice one lads

Spain didn't really have that killer instinct imo - Villa was class tho', hope that pen miss doesn't come back to haunt me They NEED to win the group imo

Argies to win 1/2
argies to score both halfs 6/4.

f..ing greek keepers havin a blinder

thank fukk for that...odds on bets not good for my health.

[:x]

Ingerland a bit short imo

USA win @1/1
Serbia win @10/11
Engerlund lay @1/2

Awful price for us. That said, if Joe Cole starts that could give us the creative edge to win.

USA to win the group still stands out to me at 9/4. All they need to do is equal whatever England do, which isn't all that hard. The only problem being Slovenia beating England but I can't see that tbh.

My acca is still going but been so ul. Mphela hit the post twice and now Dempsey had a goal disallowed and hit the post as well. Never mind Villa missing a pen.

wd benjy

Donovan last minute winner sends me deeper into despair! Cursed I tell thee.

is no one else on the plat express to mucho profito courtesy of argentina

not underestimating mexico that said; wouldve preferred engerland

The Argy defense worries me tbh Plat. Obviously they are excellent in attack but playing Guitteriez as a full-back is asking for trouble. Not too sure about their keeper with tbh.

I like the look of Brazil. Quite surprised how good they are defnsively and their GK has improved no end the last couple of years. I think they could be on course to face Spain next though [>o]

i thought the argies defence looked decent plus u got mascha there shielding

you expect something crazy from the mad dwarf and if guiterrez is it then thats not the worst.  well veron is actually , shocking second half last game

can see why brazil are now favs alright, but would be quite happy to see them face spain

I think both the Argies & Brazil deploy two DM's.  Mascha/Veron  Melo/Silva.  It might come down to who has the best full-backs / GK

Germany should be licking thier lips at facing us

did veron tackle last game?  coz he didnt fooking run.  some nice passes first half, then ran out of steam and that went pear.  i imagine a big hook coming out and just reefing him off the pitch

Yeah he is not exactly quick.  Mascha is the legs of the pair. Cambiasso left at home.

Cheers Sint'.

Not sure how I am going to get Italy to win the group today though.

Think Denmark are worth another bet tonight.

I'm surprised England are favourites against Germany. But not much point getting involved this early either way.

I've still got Argentina and Uruguay pre-tournament Plat'. Uruguay should make the semis now where hopefully they will meet Argentina and I will be able to trade in the final if I want.

italy rock bottom

hope they stay there.

yep

I have got 4/4 on my group winners acca at the moment (including Uruguay topping a group involving France where they must have been 3/1+ and USA topping England's group at a similar price) and I have got Spain, Brazil and Holland still to play, who I all expect to win their respective groups still...

And ****ing Italy in a group of New Zealand, Slovakia and Paraguay are letting me down. Are they having a ****ing laugh. Bottom of the group against these jokers.

[:D] [:D] [smiley:crazy] [smiley:crazy]

great call gun.

Unreal. I will forever hate all Italians if the other 3 teams top their groups.

Gunny knew

Had a suspicion France might not have, but amazed to see Italy go out. Loving it though [:D]

Rvp not done much yet. Hope he comes alive tonight against the Cameroonians imo.

oi Fran, why have you left?  [smiley:crazy]

for Spanish senorita's TD. [;)]

Hope he does well at Athletico.

USA and Uruguay today.

Ingerland.

RvP will need to score a brace to be outright dutch GS now .. likeyly next opponents are Brazil

His build/link up play has been very good but he missed a couple of good opportunites in the early games which is a must for TGS.

Argies Fav now gl all.

Forlan makes it 3.

I STILL BELIEVE

Remember there is the 3rd & 4th place play-off now so if he notched in each of those you could be in with a shout.

Well my Dutch bet makes the final. Man what started as a punting grave yard is turning into a nice run for fav backers. When was the last upset? (Obviously Brazil losing isn't an upset for me)

gotta be goals in this dead rubber match tonight iyo's ?

both sides probably wont give a shoite about who wins, but there are several players who are still in with a shout of the Golden Boot. Klose,Podolski,Muller, Forlan and Suarez all have 3,4 or 5 goals each.

over 2.5 at 4/5 wont make me rich but a bet nonetheless.

Forlan e/w bet landed imo

only a tenner e/w, but 66/1

wd fft. still £150 porfit which is snot bad,imo.

4/5 weren't pretty but needs must [:o]

when I checked the market on here .. £1.8m had been matched with £1.4m of it on over 2.5. That is some punt imo.

mug acca for a few quid.

master of the hounds 2/5
moonlit gardens 11/8
spain in 90 mins Evens
9.5 corners or more 4/5

11/1

I wanted to add Van Bommel to be booked (Evens on here) but 3-65 dont seem to have that option. I'll ring later and find out and if they do will do same bet again with variable trebs amongst the lot

wd with Forlan FFT

im hoping for a villa goal today - think a few here are on him to be top scorer?
Spain win also refunds anyone who backed the outright with stan james (my england bet lol)

cheers lads

C0rals paid out on the dead heat as well fyi [:D]

FFT WD

Very well done FFT.
