Too many predict France as favorite tomorrow but from what I have seen in their games they have big difficulty scoring goals. On the other side Argentina is just recovering and if they fine-tune their forward repart they can crash any team and win the World Cup. For this game I have used the jolly on what I think it would be an equal game and we will see penalties.

to be honest I was expecting way more from France this world cup and yeah they are really overrated , still not sure what to bet but may take Argentina to qualify since it seems to have better value

at the moment I only have Uruguay to qualify tomorrow against Portugal was able to catch it at X1.93 in betfair and I guess the price is more than reasonable since Portugaly mainly relying on CR and to be honest they almost got punished by Iran so can't see them passing ( unless the last Euro scenario happens again Cheesy

)

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

My only bet is also my tip of the day and it is Portugal to qualify. I know it will be difficult because of Uruguay having two world class forwarders like Cavani and Suarez but I think Ronaldo is better and the rest of the team of Portugal is better than the rest of the team of Uruguay.

I think Argentina will win in normal time to be honest, they nearly went out but I think they’ll grow into the competition now & do well.

Both team are the same in case of difficulty in scoring goals although they are full of World-Class strikers. It seems that it will be tight match will less goals, but their defensive side are also not really good IMO. Looking at the fact from the group stage matches, obviously I will chose France to be the winner in 2x45' only. Maybe 2-1 or 1-0 will be the final result, but it is WC 2018 where we have seen many surprises already. Argentina may show their best or they will be even worst.

A note to fellow competitors.

For those of you who don't like to read the rules please note that correct score in the predictor is score at the end of
120 minutes. Penalties don't count. Of course that is only important if you plan on putting a draw prediction. It will be even harder to get correct score now.

Let the best one win !!!!

Ah, I got just over 100 points on the Bracket. Also, I just realised now you have to enter the bracket for the knockout phase again, so don't forget to login and do that guys (just click the link from hilarious's invite, it'll take you there). I previously only thought it was a one-off bracket prediction thing, but looks like we have a chance to get some things right again.

I've changed my mind about the winner now too, by the way. Yes, England is my chosen champion, and I have no embarrassment about that =p

Slaman, well done on your last matches. I remember being 5th on MatchDay 1 and you being close to the bottom.

toke, can you jinx me as well so maybe I can get the 1k points I need to breathe on the same space as you are? Wink

I can’t see where it tells you to submit bracket predictions again?

Edit - Ignore me, found it.

^ Yeees! My anti jinx post worked. Lol. Grin

I had a decent first match day, a good second match day and my third one sucked. I'm happy to maintain the lead, but really, I don't think I can... Seeing slaman, Trofo and Joca's momentum.

I think I'll need to make more anti jinx posts to stop them. Cheesy

Lol

I got back in the race with correct result on croatia and joker on it
Plus yesterday i got correct result on panama
And you got lucky costa rica scored in 94 minute or i would have been first

First march day was great for my second one was the worst third one was okey

Probably I need an anti jinx too or probably a luck post. Probably i could make it to the top ranks with correct predictions. Woo. Hopefully with the remaining days, it would be better.

Goodluck!

I did really well on the third matchday, I would actually have gone to 1st place if my Joker wasn't wasted on a 0 point game and was instead used on a perfect score prediction, but there we go, anybody can catch up with just 3 or 4 good score predictions. I see tokeweed and Joca are always very high up, but I think whoever make the good bracket will also have good scores, we need to wait at least until the Final I think to see who will eventually win.

Very happy with my position, thinking to use my Joker on my favorite to win, that is my secret however. I login to bracket but cannot find it. Looks like #1 and #2 are also good on brackets so well done to your guys.

Hmmm... Matches' scorelines at full time are getting weirder and weirder... I feel like it's my final day being first in the betting pool. It was nice while it lasted. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, it was nice playng with you.

*Anti jinx post over*

I didn't get a single correct scoreline for the entire Matchday 3. Keep backing the wrong "underdog", and when I'm right, the scores aren't perfect, goal number and winning margin incorrect, so might as well have gone with favourites for "less risk".

Fact, had I switched scores for a few games, would have got the exact prediction right.

Quote from: Welsh on June 28, 2018, 12:10:23 PM

I just saw the highlights of the Japan game where they just wasted time in fear of getting more yellow cards. That was bizarre wasn't it? I'm so gutted that my underdogs Senegal got sent home when Japan was playing real negative football on the chance that Senegal wouldn't equalize.

Whatever, I still enjoyed the Columbia, and Senegal game. I guess I got to support England against Belgium Huh

I didn't watch any, but I read about the boos as Japan. Did you see his post match interview though? Japan coach was super weird, admitting he wanted the outcome of Japan to be decided on "the other pitch". Maybe it's just a tactic to get their next opponents to let their guard down but whatever it is, he got his stars rested and they're through.

It would be nice to see Southgate get Harry Kane in there just about now. I got ENG vs Belgium at 1 - 1. Grin

I think getting that right could save my first place spot in the pool.

Well it ended 0-1 but should have ended 1-1, Rashford lost a golden opportunity because he rushed things, that's the problem when you don't have experience, you rush things in the middle of a World Cup. I think Harry Cane should have played since first minute, probably England would have created more chances. 0 points for me in these 2 games, screwed up what I did in two days by going since 1365 to 26xx points.
