I also got the 1-1 correct. I really need to start getting more scores right because it's the only way you can win. You only get a few points for guessing the correct winner whereas you get 200-300 points for getting the score right. If you chose it as a joker you double it as well. Has anyone been able to choose a joker for today's games? It's still not letting me choose any now.

^ I could and already did, maybe you already used yours...?

Anyway, Trofo! This is the match! Messi hat trick incoming... Grin

Messi didn't even show for the match let alone scored a goal. Argentina is not a team and it showed. Few close ups of Maradona, Messi and Sanpaoli were really priceless.

I am from Croatia you know. You will receive screen shot of my ticket for this game on PM tomorrow so I can show you how much I believed in Croatia

I played Croatia to win and over 2.5 goals. To be fair I expected a result of 3:1 with Messi scoring one goal. I am too drunk to bother at the moment....

I have a feeling today is Messi day. In order to have conflicting feelings I will now put some money on Argentina to cover 1.5 handicap

That way I can cheer even if Messi scores. Griezman wouldn't score if the game lasted 180 minutes

been doing good betting but terrible in predicting scores for the pool , for today I'm playing 3 games as the following

taking France to win at X2.16 also taking Croatia to win at X2.18 , from these two I need only one winner to profit but there is a good chance IMO for both to win if everything went as planned

I have also Australia vs Peru under 2.5 goals at X2.06 , both teams didn't look that good with scoring goals so if there were no penalties I doubt that we will even see 2 goals

Me too, I make nice profit already from betting but predicting scores is much more difficult than betting in general. I have 0-1 for Peru to win and 2-0 for France and I placed the same bet with you which is under 2.5 goals for Australia vs Peru as well as for the other match France vs Denmark. Hopefully 0-1 would be the Final score Cheesy

so I can boost my points in the pool and win the bet.

0-1 already for Peru in 18'. Not a good sign Sad

Iran played pretty well I thought, but they were getting dirty and reckless towards the end. Didn't watch the Spain game so can't comment on that. Thought there were a few bad VAR decisions as well. Don't think Ronaldo deserved a card nor should it have been a penalty. Heard VAR was used well in the Spain game but haven't watched the highlights yet. Wasted my joker on that game Angry

.

Had a six fold accumulator going as well and just needed Spain and Portugal to win. Bastards. Can't say I care about any of the games today, but I'll watch the Argentina one to see if they can get a win, though they need Croatia to beat Nigeria also to go through.

Oh fuck off Cavani. I had 2-0 Uruguay & he’s just scored on 91 minutes Sad

Well I had it at 3-1. More than half of the games so far have had injury-time goals so it must be a problem of focus for defences. Can't recall now how many games I've "lost" to last-minute goals, but then I should be grateful for winning 2 bets (Iran being my memorable first win) on the final minute.

I actually managed to gain almost a couple of hundred points in the last 3 days from Bonus Challenge (worth 30 each), so remember to put them in, guys. Problem is some only appear a minute before the game.

Lost all but one of my bets yesterday (Uruguay-Russia goals over 2.5) so puts me almost at 20% bankroll loss... so trying a fancy risky parlay on Australia winning (they have to for a chance at second place) and Argentina to go through (need to win and hope Iceland at least draws for their chance at second): https://www.bitcoinrush.io/sportsbook/ShareBet?id=puEi4w%2BuLIue7LpuWyWj1Jt6LJI6jSGLiFvBSZsdP%2Fc%3D

I had Saudi vs Egypt 1-2 yet they finished 2-1 which is still good for me because even if you find the correct number of goals you get 70+ points for such finding so good. I had Uruguay 1-0 and that way it should have finished if it were not for the red card of Russia.

I think the match result between Saudi Arabia vs Egypt did shocked a lot of people as I believe most people are betting on Egypt to beat Saudi Arabia in this match, and I would say Egypt performance in this world cup tournament is kind of disappointing as they are not even able to obtain 1 point from 3 matches played.

pff, I had Uruguay 3-1...well, Russia played against a decent rival and they lost 3-0. I see the same result in the RO16 if they get Spain or Portugal.

Looking forward to Uruguay vs Spain or Portugal (or maybe Iran???) next Saturday.

Btw, seems like some of us predicted the right order in group A in the bracket challenge...nice.

guess who's back

not much for today , I already skipped the currently running game and didn't bet on but lost my joker since I put it on 1-1 Russia vs Uruguay
there is a good shot for my 2-1 Egypt win though Cheesy

for the next two games I have only two bets , the first Portugal vs Iran O2.5 goals X2.52 cause let's face it Iran needs the win and they won't be playing the same way they played against Morocco and Spain so their defence shouldn't that tight and they will put pressure on Portugal
so both of the teams need scoring today and we should see goals

the next play for me is Spain vs Morcco and I have both teams to score at X2.38 , same thing but Morocco are playing their last game and yet they haven't scored so I guess they will be playing good football today since they have nothing to lose and they should be able to score so they can satisfy the fans a little ( even Panama scored Grin

)

Damn, I had 6-0. One silly goal and 350 points turned to 4. Seems like I'm betting on Belgium next leg Angry

That would have been a very lucky payoff. Not sure I can blame them for letting in 1 goal when ahead so much. I'm only taking the simple bets not the precise scoring so much because of this possibility.
Is Brazil still most peoples guess for the overall winner ?

Edit: Ninja edited my post and removed something that might jinx me. Cheesy

Yeah I started awfully, trying to claw back some ground now. Yeah my joker card is later on in the week, that’s all I’ll say Cheesy

Haven’t used it today or tomorrow Wink

Glad I've moved up a bit. Think I was at 14th and now up to 8th. Another correct score will probably take me into the top 5. I'm not optimistic though. Too hard to predict internationals and without correct scores you get nowhere.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on June 24, 2018, 05:28:45 PM

IMO I don't think England will struggle against Belgium, quite the opposite, they'll struggle with their shaky defence against the likes of Kane and Sterling.

Lol. Sterling is shit. He can't put the ball into an open net. All Kane's goals have either been from penalties, 2 foot out, or deflections so far, so I don't think Belgium will have anything to worry about. If Belgium are swapping the team around they might have Kompany back as well. They're both tied on goals both scored and conceded so there's not really much difference between either defences in that respect.

Lost my bets AND prediction on Senegal, was really hopeful when they led 2-1 at 72nd minute, but it was not to be. Japan deserved the draw for sure, they were really harried at every ball by a team taller and stronger than them, had my doubts but they actually had much better finishing than Senegal. Still my underdog favourite like you, Welsh, and I know they won't be favourites to beat Colombia to qualify, but all the better if the odds are good.

Falling farther down the table, but we still got a whole range of games today. Taking riskier bets on the favourites today to try recover losses, I'll share if I win.

I've been rushed off my feet today, and missed all the matches.

Quote from: BitcoinSupremo on June 24, 2018, 12:39:32 PM

I had England 2-0 but I had Senegal to win 1-2 and I thought I got it when they scored the second goal but Japan did equalize few minutes after. At least I got 30 points for finding the correct answer to the question which was Senegal to have the most number of shots on target and off target.

If I recall correctly I had them down to win 2-1, and they were my joker match too. Senegal are my underdogs of the tournament. Had that result come in I would of shot up the board. I'm getting much closer to the scores now though so maybe it's signs for things to come.

I think England performance seems to be the most stable among all the favorite teams in this world cup tournament at the moment, England vs Belgium will surely be a close and intense match as both of these teams would want to fight for the top spot in Group G.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/06/23/belgium-managerroberto-martinez-ready-restromelu-lukaku-eden/

It seems Belgium seemingly isn't that bothered about grabbing the top spot as they're apparently going to rest Lukaku and Hazzard (though not sure what Lukaku thinks of that seeing as he's in the running for the Golden Boot). Even the strongest England team will probably struggle against a Belgium team missing those two I think.

Teams who qualified early to the RO16 are going to do the same in matchday 3: rotate the starting XI. Croatia's manager said he was going to use a few subs in the next match.

IMO I don't think England will struggle against Belgium, quite the opposite, they'll struggle with their shaky defence against the likes of Kane and Sterling.
