World Cup Soccer Punting

[Piss Poor]

The big multi guys bet just got up, $81,000 what a bet.

Was that bet screenshot tweeted by TAB?

Wow. Nice win. Who would have thought to do that type of multi?

I hate you Brazil. World Cup favourites get out of here.

Cost me second last leg on a big multi and they gave nothing.

 

[HBFlanker]

So many upsets this world cup.

 

[redandwhite]

I've got Belgium, Brazil, and Russia all to win @3.23 which includes the SportsBet refund special which means that if you lose one leg you get a refund.

I've also got a smaller bet on Belgium, Brazil, and Russia (-1.0) which I placed and then realised that because one of the legs was a handicap market it was not applicable for the refund special. Silly me.

Lost both bets and didn't get a refund. Annoyed that Brazil didn't win because then at least I would have hit two legs and got my stake back.

The first few days had nearly all the favourites winning, but now the upsets are starting to happen. Some intriguing games coming up too.

Congratulations to whoever put that multi on with TAB. I have a slight suspicion that it could be a publicity stunt. Was there any other proof apart from a screenshot of an excel spreadsheet posted to TAB's twitter?

[matty lloyd the champ]

Need some clarification.

Under goal margins, when it gives me an option of Netherlands 2+ goals, does that mean that the Dutch win by 2 or more or does it mean by 3 or more?

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

Belgium 1U @$1.33
Brazil -2 1U @$3.30
Russia v South Korea over 1.5 goals 1U @$1.34

Chile or Draw 1 unit @$2.40

Those odds don't make sense to me. Why is Chile or Draw $2.40 when Chile +1 is 2.50?

So you get an extra 10 cents of value and also the advantage of a refund if Spain win by 1 goal.

I'm assuming its by 3 for the win and by 2 is a refund

2U Netherlands -2 @ 2.75 (Ladbrokes)

first time Ive seen you take a win bet in the multis rather than the total goals go

The $15 multi I got up on day 3 had Colombia straight out to win. I like Ivory Coast's value, thought their game was very impressive against Japan and could have scored a couple more times with a bit of luck.

2+ goals means to win by 2 or more, a -2 line means win by 3 or more

No refund if Spain win by 1. Soccer betting is win-draw-win not just h2h

6 units Chile or Draw $2.65

That would be a +1 European handicap, an Asian handicap of +1 would get you the refund if Spain won by a goal.
