Glk Tony ..

I'm not sure about this first game betting for any game that is ..
Usually the first round games end up low score 0 0 or 1 0

First half Goal bet landed @ 9/4 Over 1.5

That Hulk he not to incredible........

Is he Scottish........

Not a great first game and Brazil got a little lucky...

They need to raise their game or they wont make the semis let alone winning the thing....

But a good start with the bets mainly thanks to the ref.....

Two landed.....

BRAZIL TO SCORE A PENALTY @ 6/1....5 points

OVER 1.5 FIRST HALF GOALS @ 9/4.....10 points

So after staking 38 points we returned...

67.50 points.....So we now stand at ......

229.50 points

Tomorrow we will cover the Spain v Holland match.....

lol well done with the bets

But if that's the standard of refereeing it's already a laughing circus

SPAIN V HOLLAND 8PM

This should be a decent match tonight with the two group favs ...

Spain are my pick to win the world cup and have a squad easily good enough although many think its an ageing one....

Holland for a change go into the comp as 35/1 shots after a few years in the doldrums but they are not as bad as some think and i see this being a cagey affair..

DRAW with BOTH TEAMS SCORING @ 9/2..........8 points

SPAIN TO WIN 3-1 @ 16/1................5 points

HOLLAND TO WIN 2-1 @ 18/1............3 points

SPAIN TO SCORE PEN @ 8/1..............3 points

HOLLAND TO SCORE PEN @ 16/1........2 points

TOTAL POINTS.......21

Half time report..

Bet landed.....

Quote:

SPAIN TO SCORE PEN @ 8/1..............3 points

.......

I love the pen bets in big tournaments.....Refs tend to give more pens especially in the world cup....

Spain were bossing it but poor miss by Silva and great goal by Van Persie..

1-1 at half time about right....

Tony2005 · #8 June 13th, 2014, 21:14

Final score...

SPAIN 1 HOLLAND 5 ............

My thoughts are....

Spain bossed the first half and were the better team until Van Persie scored a goal he would never score again....If i was a Man Utd fan i would be rather unhappy.... Van Persie obviously was saving himself for the world cup as he hardly played a game for United since Feb.....

Then if you disallow the Croatia goal last night you have to disallow the Dutches second ....

The third was a clamity by the keeper as was the fourth....

David Villa was shocking for Spain as was Buscatts and Alonso and Costa...

There are five changes they need to make...

But its only the first match and Spain lost the first match in South Africa so not all is lost just yet.

I have gone back in at 12/1 for Spain as i cant see them not qualifying from the group and then its back to being anyones...

Bets landed tonight...

SPAIN TO SCORE PEN @ 8/1..............3 points

Returns.....27 points

After tonight we now stand at ...

235 points

Tomorrows match will be the BIG ONE..

England v Italy

And after tonights result maybe just maybe it could be 1966 all over again....

That was a worse penalty decision than Brazils

bennythedip2 · #10 June 14th, 2014, 13:49

Not much on football betting but for me tonight
England V Italy ... 2 0 .. 2 2 .. 0 2 and Mario Barteli (first scorer)
