Never bet favorites in the first round

No matter how much you love the team, just becareful with All the big name teams

espcially they change to a humid and hot weather in qatar

not until when they’re in must win situation , which means third round

so far I lean Saudi + 2, aussie + -.5/2 and will be on Canada + 1

ecuador was the fave lol bad strategy

@FormerAthlete

 Well that’s my suggestion, put it this way how many teams will win all 3 games to advance, won’t be too many, can check previous WCs

Ans I haven’t bet Ecuador match, may not even bet a match in first round, I love to study stats, and so far morocco and Canada are the only two games I might bet in the first round

Ecuador 2-0

England 3-0 1h 

lol 

Not working out so far..go with  the early trend favs

Saying “Never” do this in gambling is inherently dumb 

More like never bet dogs

A grand smh

You guys will hate this play, saudi +2/2.5

i believe they will be playing for pride after being crushed in Russia and 2002 by Germany 

assuming there will be many saudi fans in qatar, this will be their finals 

But I love Argentina to go deep in this WC, I think messi finally get their pressure off a bit after winning copa 

anyway, good luck everyone

I wouldn't put much stock in the weather, especially for the late games. I was there last night and it was room temperature. Conditions in Brazil 8 years ago were oppressive

Nice call on the Saudis

@yorosan

 That’s not true.. favorites have been covered 3 games. Argentina because messi the whole world is on them. The book can’t sink 

Speaking of two dark horses with effective counter attack 

pick: morocco + 0.5, very good defensive team, more or less like tunisia, let’s see if they can have the scoring touch against an aging croatia team, their unbeaten streak is impressive

bias play: Canada + 1, another team with impressive counter attack with speedy forwards and one of the best wing in the world, I also believe one of the best coaches in John herdman will bring out the best for his players, only problem for Canada is experience and they haven’t played much against euro teams, but so many problems with the belgium squad anyway ……let’s go canucks!!!!

good luck everyone

Nice hit on Saudi  gl TMR yoro

Haters will hate. Just stay on point you will do just fine.

yoro, hope all is well with self and fam    been a while and good luck next few weeks.     

ignore these 'post match' experts, theyre clueless. none of them put up their own plays and cant tell you anything till after matches are done. 

One W and one push for me on wed, I’m pissed watching that Canada game, belgium played like shit and we don’t have the scoring touch …but guys , believe in what you see, they will not lose two straight and they will get at least a point against Croatia 

Also, African teams still can’t score a goal in this tournament, I expect similar result thurs, we have 2 African teams playing thurs, under should be good

will be back later with the picks

Yorosan, although not an official play here I do have the Swiss and Cameroon at a 0-0 final score (Possibly a Swiss 1-0 final) so I took the UN 2 in that match and took 0-0 final, small.

I also have UN 2.5 in Portugal Ghana match tomorrow.I see that match @ 2-0.

It's not only that the African teams don't score but they don't let other teams score either. They are all always young and fast and get back quick, playing very good defense, solid backfields and looking to score more on the counter or set pieces. It's just their style of play, some might mention bunker or bus :)

BOL tomorrow

Even though I love underdogs in first round , I do like Swiss and uruguay to win 

but just my lean and I won’t have any action on the sides

but will play under 2 goals for Swiss game 

good luck everyone

Swiss win and under 2 

From my memories, uruguay and Swiss always perform as favorites

Good luck guys
