World Cup 2018

EGYPT AND RUSSIA 1ST HALF MIGHT BE THE WORSE OFFENSIVE HALF OF SOCCER I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE

Egypt should know they have to go for it in the second half.  Draw really doesn't do them much good.

Very strange day.  Very bad day.  First really bad day of the tournament for me, but all 3 games were unusual.

Like I said earlier, it is hard to take anything away from the Colombia / Japan match because of the old double whammy - red card / PK in the 3rd minute.  I think Colombia will bounce back, but who knows.

Senegal defense and organization was outstanding today.  Note taken.

And Russia....  All I can hope is that they are overrated when they play Iran (just kidding, Spain or Portugal) in the round of 16.  

On to tomorrow....

Game Bets:

Current Record - UP   12.78  Down 12.525

1.      Saudi Arabia / Russia Under 2 +125 (1 unit to win 1.25 units) - LOSS

2.      Uruguay -158 vs Egypt (1.58 unit to win 1 unit) - WIN

3.      Morocco +135 vs Iran (2 units to win 2.7) - LOSS

4.      Spain -105 vs Portugal (2.1 units to win 2) - LOSS

5.      Australia +1.5 vs France +114 (1 unit to win 1.14) - WIN

6.      Argentina / Iceland under 2, 2.5 +105 (2 units to win 2.1) - WIN (.5)

7.      Denmark +145 vs Peru (3 units to win 4.35) - WIN

8.      Croatia / Nigeria under 2, 2.5 -115 (1.15 to win 1) - WIN (.5)

9.       Serbia -106 vs Costa Rica (1.59 to win 1.5) - WIN

10.     Germany -200 vs Mexico (2 to win 1) - LOSS

11.      Brazil / Switzerland no bet

12.      Sweden +108 vs S Korea (3 units to win 3.24) - WIN

13.      Panama / Belgium under 2.5, 3 +103 (1 unit to win 1.03) - LOSE (.5)

14.       Tunisia / England - no bet

15.     Colombia -135 vs Japan (1.35 to win 1) - LOSS

16.     Poland PK and -.5 (-1/4) -103 vs Senegal (2.575 to win 2.5) - LOSS

17.    Egypt to win +320 vs Russia (1 to win 3.2) - LOSS

18.    Morocco / Portugal - no bet - Don't see anything in this one.  Pre-tournament, I would be taking Morocco, but can't back the team I watched against Iran a few days ago.  I can't see how they straighten it out in time to face Portugal.  If Morocco show up I will kick myself as I had them underrated coming in, but my discipline won't let me bet that team again.  Predicted final score Portugal 1 - 0.

19.  Uruguay / KSA - no bet - tempted to go over here, but just can't do it.  Predicted final score 3-1

20.   Spain -1.5 -141 vs Iran (2.82 to win 2) - this is a perfect spot.  I can count on one hand how many times I have laid more than a half goal in my life, but this will be one of them.  Spain have to win.  Nuff said.  Spain takes care of business early and often, Iran can't defend in the tight spaces that Spain works in, look for a bunch of passes in to the Iran goal.  Spain 4-0.

I like that call on Spain, Van.

I'm playing the Over 2.5, 3

i like you're take on all 3

why don't you play uruguay then or portugal game? 

i like the draw tbh in portugal vs morocco. i think it'll end 1-1 tbh. possibly the first 0-0 game? 

Because of the price.

But, that said, it stings a little to name the final score and win nothing.

Can someone tell me if I am missing something but on Bovada for Spain to keep a clean sheet is -200 but to Win to Nil is -225....how is that possible?  Isn't to keep a clean sheet essentially the same thing except you also win if the final score 0-0? Just want to confirm because it did not make sense to me

Thursday games:

Denmark +101 vs Australia (2 units to win 2.02)

Peru / France over 2.5 +111 (1 unit to win 1.11)

Croatia / Argentina - no bet

GL all

Some comedy to lighten the mood....

Like these bets. I see a 2-0 day for you.

Damn, that’s 7 losses in a row for you with your over 2.5 goals pending in France game that’s not looking good.  ????

I haven't even logged into this site in years, but you know what, for this I will take the time because I've always believed message boards and forums function best when the users police themselves to an extent.

To that point, posts like these are the worst of the Internet. They're embarrassing, and not only do they make you look like a petty, jealous infant with no life and nothing better to do than troll others online, they actively discourage exactly what forums like these are supposed to promote.

Van may remember me from ye olden times, he may not. But one thing I know about him is that he'll always discuss how he's capped a game, why his play is what it is—and if you're asking for more, for free, from someone online that you'll never meet, you need to re-evaluate your life.

Forget for a second that I've been on the same side as some of these losses and can tell you I absolutely believe many of them were capped well (hell, despite not even trying to score for the last 15 minutes of the game, but for dumb luck Spain wins that game at least 2-0, if not 3-0, blah blah blah). But the individual plays are irrelevant.

The point is, if your entire contribution to this thread is to remind a guy that he lost, as if a handicapper wouldn't know that, removing you from the thread is addition by subtraction. And if your only contribution to the site is the same, you're failing at the incredibly low bar of doing enough to justify posting here.

And don't say it was just one post, because you had another post barely minutes after the France game saying the same thing about his record.

TL;DR, you're being a jackass.

Don't bother responding, I'm now returning to hibernation and to watch the World Cup in peace.

Good to see you're still out there swinging, Van. Been a long time, brother, good luck the rest of the tourney.

=)

Tough streak, but he'll be back strong. 

On to ARG !  Looking for an Over 2,2.5, -115 & Argentina -115  

Holy cow, it has been a long time

Nice post as per usual
