Default "Bets placed" Thread

i'm really struggling, albeit it is 5 weeks away, to find a few bets for the world cup. so i thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where people post up who/what they have backed, with hopefully a reason for the bet.

then if anyone agrees they can latch on. at the moment i'm convincing myself the Dutch can win this but havent really found the avenue yet to back up that belief. one bet i have put on though is

Buy Total Tournament Goals on the spreads at 161 (Spreadfair)

basically, 161 last time out in humidity in japan, 169 in the only other 64 game event, in France. There seems little downside and although of course there is limited upside also its a price that arguably should be 4 - 5 points higher.

this equates to 2.51 a game and even although the premiership is currently running towards a low total it is still averaging 2.47.
