Bad spell in tournament…a change today perhaps!

Lay Germany 1.64 (2.27 on FIFA)

Lay Argentina 1.42 (2.63 on FIFA, should be worse but have increased their rating due European players and experience they have)

colo...lays losing quite badly, bank about 40% down...bets level....

steved · 26th June 2006, 08:26

Rankings close to prices yesterday, so no bet...

Today

Again prices close to rankings…Switzerland 2.54 as opposed to 2.33 on rankings, so want to back them, but neither side looks like they will ship goals, and with Switzerland favs, don’t really like laying Ukraine, or backing Switzerland, want to be on draw as well.

Have bought Switzerland supremacy at 0.12 on Spreadfair…small downside for the draw

steved · 27th June 2006, 08:19

Today

Have laid Spain at 2.44 (2.78 on FIFA rankings), and will sell supremacy on spreads. One last chance for France!!

I'm watching the Brazil game shaking my head at:

a) how lucky Brazil are
b) how none of their challenges are worthy of a yellow card
c) how that second goal wasn't given offside

If i was a conspiracy theorist I'd be tempted to call the whole thing bent!

Shaker · 27th June 2006, 17:48

How can a player be offside 3 times in the same move and score.
Total bunkum.

ilunga · 27th June 2006, 19:01

That's the one aspect of the World Cup that has depressed me - the big sides getting pretty much every decision. It wasn't blatantly transparent until Italy last night and now Brazil. It's almost as if Mr Blatter had his desired final eight teams jotted down a month ago. Makes you wonder why they even bothered with the group stages. Such a shame Sepp's Switzerland got dumped out last night

keyser soze · 30th June 2006, 08:58

arg 3.3 rolling on to port at 4 is no 9/1 shot

arnie · 30th June 2006, 10:08

Unless I'm missing something, its a 12.2/1 shot isn't it Keyser

keyser soze · 30th June 2006, 10:21

it was 7.58am

steved · 1st July 2006, 16:04

Hope this turns out ok with an extra-time win for England!

Lay England at 2.18 (3.03 on FIFA)
Lay Brazil at 1.84 (2.0 on FIFA)

ozz · 1st July 2006, 18:52

Hargreaves outstanding and, despite my dislike of the man, Crouch has been superb since he came on.

I somehow doubt we can hang on for 30 minutes extra time though

Hope I'm wrong.

ozz · 1st July 2006, 22:33

I'm currently eating a large slice of humble pie.

I called Zidane 'gone at the game' earlier in the WC and commented on how this was a bridge too far for him and that it was sad to see his legend tarnished.

How wrong can you be?!

Ozz, he does it to everyone. Three of you are stood there hemming him in on the touchline, he rolls his foot over it, the earth shimmers and he's past you and your two mates are there on their arses with you.

And you have no idea how.

The fact is, someone (I think on here) said Real Madrid were poor this year because their contingent were playing for pay with their minds already in June-July. And that would be why Ronaldo looks like he's been on the empanadillas.

steved · 4th July 2006, 08:52

I have Germany 2.44 on FIFA rankings, which is the BF price, so no bet.

Tomorrow I am laying France at 2.16, they are only 1 point inferior on FIFA, so should be 2.86.

36 · 4th July 2006, 21:36

Cracking match tonight with the ref being sensible...this is how the game should be played.

keyser soze · 4th July 2006, 23:26

magnificent game of football.

i make that about 6 out of 61

thegreat · 4th July 2006, 23:29

only watched the last 2 mins

1qa2ws · 4th July 2006, 23:50

What a way to finish a game.

Cute pass by Pirlo and Grosso with his Norman Whiteside impersonation. And then Gilardino, who I've slagged off all tournament, plays a brilliant reverse ball to Del Piero who coolly slots it into the top corner.

Still can't believe Italy went forward after going 1-0 up.
