its a 50/50 punt mate , less when you take climate into it

I would green up now if I were you , anything else is gambling

you done well and had good foresight to take that price at start , I hope you do right thing and look back on it as a positive

let it ride, just think how you will feel if they win and if they dont its money you could afford to bet or you would not have done it.

always get your steak back, nothing better than a free bet imo

a bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush, lay some off   no loss situation

I know your talking a lot of cash mate

nice to get an opinion or two and chew it over

personally , I would take an even green , your bet has outperformed regarding original odds and I applaude you waiting till now to even think of greening

I hope you look back with a smile whatever you do

correct hello i will never go bust taking a profit
Report SaveTheWhales. July 7, 2014 6:27 AM BST
Same situation here. Ive decided to back Argentina to qualify to return a profit of around twice original stake. Reason being 1.76 is a fair price imo and neither Brazil or Germany have convinced yet - would like another game to assess them before potentially laying off some more of the dutch get though.

Its a major regret already I didn't take any of the 48s etc at the time

That was by far one of the biggest value of the tournament , and stood out miles

Im not sure I would have had the balls to let it ride till the semis though so fair play to you ,you must have been dancing naked in the street after the spain game Laugh

Way I see it is there will be a south American side in the final for sure , impossible to say which one though

would you mind going through the maths underlying the "50-50" for a simple fella like myself?
Report ExtremeX July 7, 2014 7:07 PM BST
i don't think
it was maths
it sounded more like intuition
Report hello :-) July 7, 2014 9:45 PM BST
Charlton , its ok I realise your "simple"

even you know 100 divided by two is 50 I hope , if you don't your in the wrong place , try the adult learning forum
Report Charlton2005 July 8, 2014 6:25 PM BST
hello, this still doesn't make sense?

what is the "100" and what do each of the "50s" represent?

TIA

btw it's you are not your
