Yup.  Here is the story.

Obviously - I wouldn't bet Ghana if you haven't bet them already.

Are you saying this with your straight face? Muntari wasn't going to play because of two bookings, and Boateng got subbed out before 55th minute in their last game. The odds clearly reflect them not playing, and did so from the very start.

DAMN!  I was really strong on Ghana too.  Might still be worth a smaller flyer on them as they play with so much heart and Portugal have really not  looked good. 

I guess the good news is that all of us USA fans should be rooting for a Portugal win anyways.

Just got more on Ghana double chance. Almost even money at the moment. Portugal playing for a 3+ goal win? Okay....

No - I was saying at -120 they weren't worth the price.

If you can get +100 or better, still a bet....

Ghana players were pissed off that they haven t been paid their appearance fee.  But it looks like they will get paid soon...  by CASH

I am nervous about all of the controversy around the whole Ghana situation.

I talked about it before last game too.

Now a plane with money on it?  And players getting sent home?

Makes me worry.  Not enough yet to not bet them, but not at my posted line.

The streets of Recife are currently reminiscent of Thai floods. Going to be quite wet there (wetter than usual!) even in 3 hours when the USA game kicks off.

Muntari not playing is a blessing in disguise in my opinion, he won't be disrupting the flow of things with his 35 yard one and dones.   Still, situation has me nervous as I have already some stake invested in the Ghana pk.  

        Keep on truckin' Vanzack

Van, knowing what you do now would you make the same bet on Ghana if you could get them at +.5 (+110)

I can't believe anyone thinks Muntari absence hadn't been reflected in the very first iteration of this line.

Just ask yourself if Boateng is worth 30 cents? Probably not!

Could it be addition by subtraction? Could Boateng & Muntari have been so toxic to team cohesiveness, their exile means the team will play better together? I dunno. It's not like Ghana has completely crapped the bed this WC. I think I'll take a flyer on Ghana +.5. Right now it's at +111 at my book. It hasn't moved, though Portugal -.5 has gone from -126 to -131, meaning that $ is coming in on them.

Note: I just hit the "refresh" on the lines and now Ghana +.5 is +114.

Sorry Mug, I did not realise that you are the self appointed arbiter of what can and cannot be posted on this forum.

 Thanks for clearing that up.

 again, well said

Actually, Mug, the very definition of "pompous" is pretending that you have the authority to speak for each and every poster at covers.com.
All the best.

vanzack isn't trying to hide any bets, especially since everything is contained in one thread right on the first page.  Your contributions, along with a few others, are unnecessary clutter.  Most of us are following this thread for vanzacks opinions and thoughts.

Well, I'm alerting people who like myself, came in here 'blindly', and followed and have lost 10+ units.

Just telling would be followers, to heed caution. Nothing more, nothing less. Call me the police, whatever, i'm looking out for my fellow gambler.......

I'm amazed by how many people post on here, and more than 95% of you babbling morons know nothing about football or "soccer".  Aren't you guys ashamed of just typing for no reason?  Don't you idiots think before you speak?

It just shows many many stupid and uneducated morons there are on here.

daytradernation is the prime example of my comment.  This guy trolls around and just embarrasses himself.  What an absolute idiot

Can't believe I even responded. Dude is upset because he missed making money in the 2010 WC and was hoping this thread would be the repeat. Posters who biitch about tailing have to be the worst.


At least he didnt create an alias to bash though

That's right.  You came in here all by yourself.  No one held a gun to your head and made you tail this guy.  You are choosing which bets to make with your own money.  Win or lose, you have no one to congratulate or blame but yourself.  Grow a pair and take responsibility for your own actions.
