I don't really like over as much because the 1-1 is such a likely outcome the way I see it. Curious what you think? 


The only reason I did not take that bet is the history of 0-0 finals 3 of the past 4 head to head meetings, but both sides do have the firepower

I have never been able to " send " a friend request, but receive them without problem. I attempted to change my settings to allow " pop up ads ", which should have fixed the prob, but no such luck. If you can send a friend request, perhaps it will work for me. Appreciate it. Cheers

Whats going on DJ.. We basically have the same plays I like the price on Colombia and I also finally see some early goals in France/Germany..

Question - Why is the price to go to extra time clearly better than the draw? Isn't it the same play?  Just curious bc my local doesn't have the go to xtra time option and the draw is a weak +210 for me (my local lines are usually weaker but this is pretty significant..) Thx buddy,,, 

Cheers..

Dj wondering if you see the france/germnay match as a coin flip at worst for france, I see france as a favorite here and with France to Advance at 2.2 this seems like great value. But im wondering which side you see winning here.

Germany match is a coin flip...as I stated, I have a future on France to reach the semis so I will stay away from a side. If I had to choose I would have locked in France earlier..but at the current prices there is no advantage to either side as a Draw seems very likely

Quarter Finals MATCH BETTING

NETHERLANDS COSTA RICA

120. NETHRLANDS -1.5 @ 2.50/+150 (2 Units)
121. NETHRLANDS to WIN TO NIL @ 2.38/+138 (2 Units)

There is a slim chance in hell that Costa Rica registers a result versus the high scoring Dutch. They have faced flaccid offensive sides in; Italy, moody Balotelli, Uruguay without Suarez, England with no ideas & Greece without well, anyone. The Dutch win versus the ticos 2-0,.3-0 easy. Holland are the highest scoring QF side with 12 GF & Costa Rica are the poorest GF side with only 5 goals scored.

dj, u see value in the arg ML @ 2.1? 

It seems like switzerland got lucky that many of argentina's chances did not go in, and the lack of goals can also be attributed to the swiss defense and the lack of fininshing by the argentinians which I would think would not want to replicate again against belgium. A small hedge on a draw@3.3 will basically cover the riskof the ml as well.

Quarter Finals MATCH BETTING

BELGIUM ARGENTINA

122. ARGENTINA ML @ 2.20+120 (2 Units)

I really love Belgium and if they are all healthy I will back them to win the Euro'16. My pick to win the whole show was 'tina from the outset, however they did not look impressive. I was backing Brazil all the way through and went against them v Colombia & lost. I have to stick with the favuorite again because of Messi the man is a game changer & no one on the Belgium side has proven to be  so....

PS.. Belgium has not faced an attacking side yet, and to play a counter game when the Belgian back side is hurting/Injured is suicide. It is shaping up to be a HOL/ARG v GER/BRA semi

Semi Finals MATCH BETTING

GERMANY BRAZIL

123. Germany ML @ 2.80+180 (1 Unit)
124. Germany to qualify @ 1.91/-110 (2 Units)
125. Total Cards in match Over 3.5 @ 1.85/-117 (2 Units)

The absence of Neymar & captain Silva really tip the scales in favour of Germany. I was really impressed or rather relieved to see that Low started Klose up front versus France it made the Germans that much more of a solid unit. Brazil will play physical as they did versus Colombia where there were a WC high 54 fouls & only 4 cards (should have been more IMO) The match that had the second most fouls this WC also involved Brazil v Chile where we saw 7 cards and 51 fouls. Rodriguez will not be afraid the show cards. I really wanted to play the Under but it is so juiced at the moment that I can't justify me pulling the trigger at those prices.

I like both of these picks. I can see a World Cup 1990 final repeat. Although Di Maria is missing for  Argentina, I still think they come out on top.

DJ......I'm just a simple man, who rarely follows such sporting endeavours. But Gee, Gosh and Golly Gee.......if you say so...

GERMANY it is 

 Hope we are right. Either way, as a fan, should be a couple of Classics. Can't wait.

is it true that thiago silva may play tonight like brasil asked fifa to allow him and not count that yellow card? also i read somehwere in news that neymar offered by doctors some injections to be able play in finals if they pass germany. wtf they want to kill the boy just to play damn soccer.
or its just all newspapper crap?
