Fifa World Cup 2014 Betting and tips :

edited June 2014 in Betting Chat
Anyone got any information on fantasy leaugues for this or if the Forum are running any leagues

Placed these a few weeks back . I,ve learn,t my lesson and won,t be placing any Golden boot winners until the day of the 1st line-up is announced as i,ve been stung by injurys and players not even making squads before placing them to early. I,ll be going for a cpl of Argie strikers tho for certain

Bets so far : Just hope Traore for Ivory Coast and Man City is ok after hamstring trouble today

    Cnt look past spain 7/1 great value   most games they will have %75 possesion 
  • edited May 2014
    Yeah - Can never write Spain off. Look at how well the club teams have done in this seasons European Tournies

    They were getting written off in last major championship for not playing a recognised striker and 6 in midfield but i backed them anyway. Never got near to 7/1 though . That is tempting

    If i were to set up my own Fantasy football leaugue for World cup on Sky sports what stakes would ppl prefer :

    £2 
    £5 , £10 etc
  • edited May 2014
    I'd like to see a £5 league :-)
  • edited May 2014
    Switzerland at 3/1 to win group E 
    France are the seeds in the group and have spent most of the last euros and World Cup fighting amongst themselves.

    Belguim are the seeds in group H but Russia are fast starters in tournaments and look a good price at 3/1

    Alot of good chances to win free bets this year

    Back Argentina with sky at 9/2 for £25, get £25 back if brazil win

    Back Germany with morals at 6/1 for £25, get £25 back if brazil or argentina win

    Back Spain at 13/2 with ladcrooks for £25, get £25 back if Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar or Suarez are top scorer

    Also this is the best offer imo, with 888sport select any team in the tourney, and for every goal they score you get a £5 free bet, argentina will knock a couple past bosnia, thats £10 free, they then should get 5 or 6 against iran, thats another £30 free bet, then 2 or 3 against nigeria. got to milk these free bets when the bookies are pretty much giving them away.
  • edited June 2014
    And imo its impossible to look past brazil, argentina, germany or spain, the winner 99.9% comes from 1 of them 4, and i would take my chances backing 3 runners in a 4horse race just leaving out brazil at a muggy 3/1, even if brazil win you get your money back in freebets
  • edited June 2014
    Sigh - Wish they,d fix the time out thing on this forum - Just wroye a long post but can,t be bothered repeating it all .

    Agree with Moonoo - Winner will come from top 4 barring freak results or dodgy decisions

    Latest Bets

    I watched them the other night and they look like the Bayern team at their best. Can they handle the heat tho?. also got best price

    EDIT _ you cant see but its on Germany at 13/2 at SJ

    Nice tips - Will deffo take some of that

    EDIT : Can,t see a tennis thread but theres a sight rymes with binner.com - Place a £30 bet at 1.8 (by tommorow) or better and get a £15 Freebet . I chose womes Tennis and laid it off at 5/6 on BF

    Had 1 more bet on Uruguay as i can,t understand why they,ve gone from 26.0 to 38.0 in a cpl of weeks unless its the Suarez thing but he looks like he,ll be ok

    Fantastic offer although imagine this scenario if 1,966 people place £1 @ 1,966/1 and England win that's £3.86m to be paid out.  Even if just 500 people bet £1 that would still be almost a £1m payout!

    Clever marketing, take £2k in bets on this promo and if England do win the World Cup then liquidate the company lol.

    Paddy have a good offer

    Put £20 on tournament top scorer and get £5 free bet every time they score, my pick will be neymar as hes bound to score 3 or 4 in a easy group.

    The thing here is that they get 2000 customers plus word of mouth.
    I doubt you can deposit only £1 so there must be 2000*x worth of liquidity for their new business.
    Funds to payout should be coming from marketing/advertising in the main.

    IF england were to go deep here the money would be so significant that it would be a traders dream so it can't really backfire.

    Maybe if england played a worse team than 10-man Honduras in every game then england can have a chance to put these jokers out of business :-))))))))))
  • edited June 2014
    If england can beat Uruguay to qualify watch out for some gag price boosts too.

    england 3-1 or some stupid scorecast. They'll trim that liability in no time!!!

    I still have £9 on 666bet from the minimum deposit.

    I've logged in twice this last week to have a bet, firstly horses, then darts and just now the US open golf, they don't offer markets on any of those 3 sports.

    Weird?

    I,ve checked with PP and as long as you get your bet on before kick off in 1st game the offer stands so i,m going to wait until 15- 30 mins before the Brazil game and if Fred is playing i,ll go for him at 20/1 (joint best price with other firms) . 

    I got an email back from 666 regarding the offer and this was the jist of it :

    We appreciate your concerns however we can assure you that we have the finances to pay out all players should England win. Our marketing budget alone exceeds the liability on this particular promotion and the fact that we are in advanced talks with a premier league football team should show that we intend to be serious players in the UK.
