    Got a bit impatient after a few losses which is usually where it all goes wrong. Thankfully Belgium pulled it around, and hopefully Brazil will bring me back up. Fingers crossed.

    Haha good shout, also proud of my under 2.5 goals bet. Can't believe the odds were that good, was never going to be a high scoring game with the system that Mexico uses. Fingers crossed BTTS score in the Russia game next!

    Hope so, Russia have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 10 games, conceding against Luxembourg, Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan. Also included in those 10 games was a friendly against Korea, which both teams scored. So fingers crossed!

    I got bored of missing multiple bets (about 5 in a row) by 1 goal margins and lumped my remaining funds on Holland to win with a -1.0 handicap. Funnily enough, they won 3-2 needing one more goal to win me my bet.

    I'm out.
