World Cup Soccer Punting

[stewie griffen]

From recollection the ball and his front foot were just inside the box. Unlucky if so.

Yeah looks like that, gamecast has it further inside the box which is not close to the correct spot at all

Wow just heard the score on the radio, wtf happened Brazil?

 

[Spitter9]

had germany to win to nil. Not happy with that loss

 

[iluvparis]

Thought I was home with my Aus most goals against. Quite a few burned on that one I imagine!

Cameroon killed this off in the group stage.

Half of something still beats a whole of nothing though!

 

[iluvparis]

I thought Cameroon conceded more goals than Australia?

 

[kickazz]

Both conceded 9, and were about 2.15 each on Betfair before the semis with NED the only realistic threat at about 12s

 

[iluvparis]

That hurts then - was on same bet.

 

[Redacted Boner]

Netherlands to advance $2.24 on pinnacle for 2 units.

Ladbrokes has Ned -2.5 for $19, thinking it might be worth having $10-$15 on.

Edit: Rounded off $12 bucks on the -2.5 (-2 3 way handicap) @ $19, to return $228.

 

[ricardogp]

Ned to win & < 2.5 goals: $5 @ $5

Game to go to penalties: $5 @ $5.25

I'm abit stumped on this match, leaning towards the Netherlands though
Aregentina are missing a few players aren't they?

Just Di Maria - although he is fairly key to them. Could easily see it going to pens so above bet isn't too bad.

0.2U - Goal to be scored from outside the box @ 10.00 (sporting)

Didn't end up betting myself but good call.
Surely it's Germany's world cup to lose now.

 

[ricardogp]

Thiago Silver suspended this match, so

0.5u Germany >1.5 goals @ $3.20

Ned to win & < 2.5 goals: $5 @ $5

Game to go to penalties: $5 @ $5.25

Well I'm pretty happy with these! Up about 2.6u... Best result of the whole tourney I think!

I had some bets on who would reach the final, but it seems I didn't post them, so I will obey the rules and refrain from bragging

 

[ricardogp]

So Thomas Muller is paying $3.35 (at TAB) to be the tourney's top goalscorer, and he is one goal off Rodriguez (who is $1.47)

Surely you would go for Muller here - he has an opportunity to score in the final and in the dead heat you still get $1.67. I would have thought he would be shorter than this...

Why? How many goals have Argentina conceded all tournament?

Surely you can get better than $1.67 for Muller to score. Seriously doubt he'll get 2...

You are right - Muller is currently $2.50 as an anytime goalscorer in the final. However that is normal time only, while the leading goalscorer only excludes penalty shootouts.

Argentina have only conceded 3 goals, true, but Germany have scored 17 now and I'm hoping they will play attacking football and not be standoffish like the Dutch were.

 

[Spitter9]

got muller top goal scorer $34 start of tournament. tempted to put money on rodriguez now for a win-win

 

[Zealbee]

I loaded up on Rodriguez this morning, find it really hard to believe Muller will equal or beat him. Final will be very tight. If Germany was playing off for third place it would be a different story.

 

[Frozenwaste]

Pretty sure that if the bet is for Golden Boot, if there is a tie the award goes to the player with the most assists.

betting agencies have worded it well with "top goal scorer"

 

[iluvparis]

Top goal scorer will pay as a dead heat rather going to assists.

I have Argentina to win it for an 8 unit profit so will probably just back Germany to cover that bet.

 

[anditsadraw69]

So who's taking home the cup? Is Di Maria a chance to return?
I can't go past Germany

 

[iluvparis]

On exposed form it would be impossible to tip against Germany.

1U - Brazil v Netherlands - Over 3.5 goals @ 2.45 (Lux)
