guess who's back
last game went good for me betting winning over 2 goals , also added theo picks and went for both teams to score and France -0.25 so 3/3

as I said I have Uruguay to qulaify , but looking at the odds now I will also take Uruguay to win since the odds X2.95-3.00 in different bookies and looking at the past games for both teams we can see that Uruguay played way better and Portugal was an inch away from getting knocked out by Iran

Nice call Sy. I lost my parlay, but not by too much on the Argentina game - definitely the pick of the tournament so far, almost worth having to put up with some of the group games. I wasn't even really upset by the first penalty (that has a way of ticking me off in the WC so far), and that the game went up even more notches after every goal is just the sort of reminder we need of all the abilities on display. My bracket's tearing up so far, and betting's not improving at all...

... but on the bright side, my other "favourite" from this side are through, didn't even need Suarez to score. Scored me 266 points too, though I suppose it won't do much on the table as others got even better.

My Joker's waiting tomorrow...

hehe thanks mate , today was perfect 5/5 with at least X2.00 odds but still 15th on pool leaderboard
well for today I didn't make any parlay cause almost all selections had great odds so found there is no need for it

I just did a 50 euros one though in sportsbet , taking both Spain and Belgium to win their games and used the price boost to get X2.34

for tomorrow I have Russia to score at least a goal for X1.84 , Spain to win and over 2.5 goals for X2.5
Croatia to win and under 3.5 goals for X2.08

not confident about them to be honest , but I think they all have good value to play

Oh yes, I predicted correct score of Uruguay -Portugal match.
What we have so far - recent World Cup winners eliminated after group stage, runners-up and Euro 2016 winners after first playoff stage.
Messi is waiting for Ronaldo at the airport.
I am totally hating the way of play Uruguay is doing, trying to defend and not playing real football. This kind of game even if they qualify will lose against France (yes changed my opinion on that, I don't believe Uruguay with the football is showing will beat France) so I am waiting patiently to see them lose the game in the second half or extra time or even penalty but they are making the game of soccer look boring and ugly.

Edit: More boring soccer in the second half, if you want an 100000% sure bet, bet on France to qualify, it will be the easiest bet to win.
Uruguay always playing in similar style. But Portugal also didn't played "real football". And such style was the only way to win Euro 2016 for Portugal.

I had -

France 1-2 Argentina
Uruguay 1-0 Portugal (used my joker)

It finished -

France 4-3 Argentina
Uruguay 2-1 Portugal

I should get something like 250 points for the correct result by 1 goal (not correct score) in the Uruguay game because I used my Joker.

I guess the predictor includes the two extra times (not injury time) in case the match ends in a draw...?  Just wondering.  

And I think that makes them harder to predict.  Hmmm...

Yeah, they shouldn't do that. It should be the score at the end of 90 mins (plus whatever injury time they have).

It was by far the game of the tournament with two of the goals of the tournament. I had the game down at one-one lol so no points for me. Too hard to predict and I'm guessing nobody got that score right. The upcoming Portugal game will also probably be close but I can't predict the victor. Can Ronaldo do what Messi can't? Portugal may be able to beat Uruguay but I'm not sure if they'll get much further than that. Looking forward to it either way.

End of an era for Argentina, I believe the "old" players, Higuain, Mascherano, Biglia, Banega, Di Maria, Romero etc, will probably retire from the NT (not sure about Messi though). I think it's time for the young players to finally takeover the team (Lo Celso, Meza, Pavon, Correa, Dybala, etc)

Btw, whose fault is it that Messi played like shit today? Sampaoli with his atrocious tactics? or Kante who absolutely nullified the argentinian?  I think it's a bit of both + Messi himself for not showing some fucking spirit to try to do something different.

Argentina even had other chances to score , but they failed, their defense was pathetic with the goalkeeper conceding a goal where the guilt were totally from him,the third goal for France. One thing led to another and Argentina is out of the tournament and also my bet for them to win WC is out, I had them at 14 odd. I had 1-1 as a result on predictor which will net me 0 points I believe.

Edit: Got 60 points from finding the team with most corners, Argentina.

Yo Trofo...  Gonna pay you the 50 after this match.  Just pm me your BTC address.  Lol.  I don't think I'm gonna win our side bet.  Meh.  Wtf did I even go to 50.

Edit:  I expected this but at the second half.  I have this match at 1 - 1, I hope it holds.

Let's wait until the match is over. How it started I thought this will be another 3:0 against Argentina, but then France decided to pull back and Argentina has way too much attacking quality not to punish them (even with Aguero, Higuain & Dybala at bench and Icardi in front of TV somewhere). If only they had a coach which can make Messi play deeper and with some defensive duties. They would be unstoppable in the attack, defense will always be weaker part of this team.

I have 2:1 for France in predictor and so far I am liking my chances to get it correct.

where you find that Argentina are favorites to qualify mate ? they are the underdogs everywhere moneyline and to qualify even in bitcoinrush

Hmm. You're right, I'm checking again and France are the clear favourites to advance, but I could've sworn yesterday it was slightly tilted in Argentina's favour (I only check Bitcoinrush/Pinnacle and oddschecker.com). Perhaps it was a boosted odds I saw on Argentina, though can't find it again today.

I guess the predictor includes the two extra times (not injury time) in case the match ends in a draw...?  Just wondering. 

And I think that makes them harder to predict.  Hmmm...

Yeah, it's on the full-result of match. From the rules: "Points for predictions are awarded based on the match result in regular time and extra-time. Penalty shoot-outs do not count towards predictions for Match Predictor."

Even bets on sportsbooks now consider full time including injury and extra time. But I'm confident neither game today will reach extra time or penalties.

Yeah I saw the bookie odds for progressing to the next round and can't believe Argentina are the favourites against France (while they're the slightly less favoured ones in a straight match win). Are they better at penalties than France? Don't believe so. But yeah, they'll benefit for having the tougher time adjusting in Russia.

I was thinking then to hedge my bets by taking a France to qualify @2.6 but then again, where's my faith if I don't just trust my gut right? So my single parlay for the day is for both South American giants to whoop ass @10x: https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=LBX4HEPV0SlW%2F7HSS%2FzXmeLvDRmZu5Qp7YdFeoCIkU0%3D

I like this betslip , I'm backing Uruguay to qualify and I may back Argentina as well in the next hour but not sure if we won't see an extra time in both of these matches since the performance should be equal from all the 4 sides so guess I won't go for money line till tomorrow's games
