World Cup bets

So what are you betting on?

I've spent the last hour or so avoiding work so came up with the following bets for the 1st set of group games.

14/06/2018 Russia v Saudi - Over 0.5 Saudi goals 2.05
Russia v Saudi - Saudi double chance 2.75
15/06/2018 Egypt v Uruguay - Uruguay to win 1.57
15/06/2018 Spain v Portgual - BTTS 2.05
16/06/2018 Croatia v Nigeria - Croatia to win 1.7
16/06/2018 Argentina v Iceland - Iceland 0.5 goals 2.5
17/06/2018 Costa Rica v Serbia - Serbia to win 1.9
17/06/2018 Germany v Mexico - Germany to win 1.44
18/06/2018 Belgium v Panama - Belgium over 2.5 goals 2.1
18/06/2018 England v Tunisia - England -1 handicap 2.1
18/06/2018 England v Tunisia - England over 1.5 goals 1.61
19/06/2018 Colombia v Japan - BBTS 2.2
19/06/2018 Poland v Senegal - BBTS 2

 

40/1 on all the group favourites to win their group.

1.52/1 on all the group favourites to qualify from their group.

Probably lump something on both hoping that option 2 will more than cover the losses if option 1 fails.

There's always 1 group favourite that balls it up though

Probably do something on Germany making the final.

 

Over 0.5 goals in every group game @ 51.00

Come on!!

 

In 2014 I tried out correct scores for every match. It was a disaster.

Here's a list of every result last time around: https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/brazil2014/matches/index.html

If I get time later I'll try to collate that lot and come up with some stats.

 

....apart from England v Tunisia @1.01

 

I may stick a quid on that. First game will probably go and end 0-0!!!

 

Do loads of lucky 15 on each teams first game to be a draw

 

Interesting analysis here and worth a read..

 

I liked Egypt and Uruguay BTTS at I think 2.10 when I placed it.

Think a lot of the African teams defences will surprise people, I'll be playing a few unders.

Serbia Egypt and Mexico all decent prices to make it out the group.

Germany to win the whole thing.

 

Egypt definitely look a good bet to get out of the group.

 

This one is flirting close to the edge!!!

 

The first and only 0-0 will be England on Monday.

 

France v Denmark looking decidedly dodgy for this bet right now. Almost made it...

 

yeah, bummer... i thought i might actually make it, but not to be... was fun while it lasted.

 

It was always guaranteed that somewhere in the third round of group matches there would be one if both teams were in the top 2.
