£5 staked on three bets
£1 on Brazil to win 3-1 at 14/1
Currently up £10

 

[juice_terry]

Up £28 from my £1 on Neymar first scorer Brazil 3-1 @28/1 rolling over onto todays matches which are hard ones to call. Fancy Spain/ Netherlands to be a draw as with Mexico/ Cameroon along with Chile beating Australia. Just got to decide on the correct scores as odds are crap on win/lose/draw bets

 

[Badgers]

I am leaning towards a Spain / Netherlands draw as well
Mexico to beat Cameroon 1-0 or 2-1
Chile beating Australia seems fairly safe

 

[juice_terry]

Going to try and predict the scores Badgers as there's not great odds on just the outcome

 

[Badgers]

Have gone for some silly £1 bets on higher odds results:

Mexico 3-2 @ 50/1
Mexico 3-0 @ 25/1
Draw 2-2 @ 22/1

Spain 3-2 @ 45/1
Holland 3-0 @ 80/1
Draw 3-3 @ 100/1

Chile 4 - 2 @ 80/1
Australia 3-1 @100/1

I doubt I will get that £8 back but you never know

So, having not done online betting before (save for a flutter on the Grand National with William Hill in 2005 ), what's the best way to take advantage of all those juicy "join us and get £1,304,234-worth of bets freeeeeee!" offers? How do I get the most for my gambling cherry?

Bet365 will match your deposit up to £100 - but you will have to play through a number of bets before you get to see the money

 

[marty21]

got a number of bets on - accumulator on the first round of matches, group winners, golden boot, and a few others - can't access my bet365 account atm as I'm at work and gambling is bad mmmkay

 

[juice_terry]

I put a £1 accumulator on the first round of matches marty21 , returns £196 so fingers crossed
Brazil 1/4
Argentina 4/11
France 2/7
Colombia 8/13
Belgium 4/11
Spain 8/11
Ivory Coast 3/1
Germany 2/5
Mexico 11/10
Russia Evs

Mine is still ok after taking a wild leap of faith and predicting a Brazil win -

 

[juice_terry]

Ha ha we have a 100% record so far .. we're good at this predicting lark

Chile -1 and -2 on the handicap for me

 

[binka]

First proper bet brazil to beat croatia -1.5 asian handicap. £10 at slightly over evens

this and the yellow shirts bet gets me off to a winning start!

Chile -1 and -2 on the handicap for me

yes i am going for chile -1.5 here.

also netherlands have no chance tonight, think their squad is pretty poor. not sure what I'm going to bet on this game yet!

[The39thStep]

Lost a fiver on chile -2 on the handicap but won £20 on chile -1 on the handicap

 

[marty21]

Spain

 

[binka]

last minute chile goal saved me there. think i've used up a fair amount of luck so far. i might just have a £10 double colombia and uruguay and still not sure what to think about the england italy game. might watch it for ten minutes and see how it's going before making a decision

 

[juice_terry]

Cahill's goal made me miss out on £35 had Sanchez 1st scorer Chile 3-0

I'm still gutted that my £1 million accumulator was scuppered by Spain failing to hold on for a draw

 

[marty21]

£1 Ivory Coast 2-0 @11/1

 

[binka]

Sturridge 1st scorer Italy to win 2-1 @9/1

surely you mean 90/1???

 

[juice_terry]

Yeah I just thought that going back to Betfred to get it changed the cashier has written 9/1

 

[binka]

yeah definitely get that changed you'll be gutted if it comes in! that scorecast is 90/1 on bet365

 

[binka]

Sturridge 1st scorer England to win 2-0 @66/1

although you got good odds on that one - only 35/1 on b365!

 

[Badgers]

1976 was the last time an England/Italy game had more than 3 goals

My 3-3 bet at 100/1 may be a bit eager

in italy's last eight games there's been six draws and they've only kept a clean sheet once!
