FOOTBALL really is a funny old game. Like many others I watched the World Cup semi-final in shock as my tip Germany piled seven past Brazil.
It was one of the biggest shocks in history in terms of the margin of scoreline and it's funny to look back at the debate on the site before the game.
I flagged up Germany the minute Neymar was ruled out but pointed to skipper Thiago Silva's absence as more damaging and so it proved as the defence fell apart.
But while I predicted Germany to win in 90 minutes at 9-5 and took Germany to qualify at 10-11 as the Super Single I was never over-confident about the outcome.
Plenty of people took the view the home crowd would cheer Brazil to glory on a wave of emotion but the only chance they had was if a couple of punters had replaced Marcelo and David Luiz in the warm-up. They weren't the only culprits but some of their defending was of the schoolboy variety.
My Top Treble was let down by Linfield drawing in the Europa League but to be honest I was over the moon with the German result and only mildly disappointed by that letdown.
Germany are now of course odds-on to win the World Cup and it's difficult to see how they can be stopped. Argentina-Holland looks another tight one on paper and I'll put up a match preview in the morning.
There are no European games to look at but another batch of friendlies which I don't like.
Meanwhile, spare a thought for the one Ladbrokes punter who backed Germany to win 7-0 at 1000-1. He was seconds away from landing his £2 gamble.
Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Donohue said: “We've never known anything like it. Not a single person saw the 7-1 coming at 1000-1 and while the consolation goal from Oscar was deemed worthless in commentary it was anything but for the thousands of customers who backed both teams to score in the match or the person who took 7-0.”
Ladbrokes latest betting: World Cup winner – Germany 8-11, Argentina 5-2, Holland 7-2. Phil Scolari to resign before the third place play off 9-2.

In December 2020 we sadly 
There are reports suggesting RVP could miss tomorrow’s game due to illness. On the other hand, Argentina are definitely without Di Maria which is a huge blow. For me this game is much harder to call as oppose to the Brazil v Germany we had yesterday.
With LVG touted as a tactical genius in the quarters, I am still not convinced by this Dutch team. LVG played a lot of possession football and was in control against Belgium, however, Argentina will be no pushovers here and will definitely be testing the Dutch defence.
I’m edging towards an Argentina win in 90 mins as you just can’t write them off while Messi is in the team.
Argentina to win @ 11/8
Messi FGS @ 4/1
Will be doing some small stakes scorecasts with Messi but undecided as to which score like to go for.
Good luck everyone.
Ando, RVP looks 50-50 from what I’m reading. Robben would be a bigger miss and Di Maria is a serious blow for Argentina.
Argentina 1 – Holland 0. 13/2 at betvictor and PP. Best prices available. Tight game, hopefully Messi. GL
Sorry I meant Costa Rica, rather than Belgium.
Mr F, I backed Argentina to win the World Cup at the start at 5/1 and also backed a 11/2 double yesterday of Argentina and Germany to both win in 90 minutes. To cover these bets, would you advise lumping money on Holland Double Chance or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance
The boom is dead ling live the fullasheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Oh my aching sides.
nobiggie, depends what the stakes are. Holland double chance doesn’t cover the first bet because Germany could win it. And Holland double chance doesn’t cover the second bet if they don’t win in 90 minutes.
I totally agree Mr F, Robben would be a bigger blow, however, I wasn’t convinced by Holland against Costa Rica in terms of the style of play – they were pretty lucky to even get to the quarters.
You should forget the Costa Rica game, total clash of styles. Holland love to play on the break, that’s how they’re set up, Costa Rica didn’t play attacking football so the Dutch struggled a bit. Argentina only know how to attack so they are perfect for the Dutch!
I’m concentrating on goals, can see both to score and over 2.5 easily. With a couple of smaller stakes on Ov 3.5 + Ov 4.5 and Ov 1.5 + Ov 2.5 first half goals too.
What a shambles Brazil were
although massive thanks to chief for the bts tip :D and I was on Oscar anytime tip at 5/1 :D which ensured me more than a treble profit even though I took brazil to qualify at evens. I would love to know your tip on this next semi chief, if you posted it on the other thread could you please re-post. raal n greg tips for this second semi would be most welcome :)
Max, pleasure mate fancied Germany with Brazil missing two key players, but didn’t envisage a hammering. Oscar scoring was the perfect end to bring up a full house :)
Holland-Argentina ft:0 score: 1-1
Scorer : garay and kuyt
i think some have a short memory of what the dutch did to spain. Tore them a new one and by far spains defence on paper is superior to arfentinas. Theyve relied on the front men to get tge job done and looked unimaginative and slow to me. The dutch if in full flow could really sting Argentina. Know theyl be alot of different views on this game but feel the the dutch price is too high. Hopefully rvp is available but Robben is the real danger
Comfortable Argentina win, Holland are nowhere near as special as the world seems to think imo
Congrats to all the lads on here who backed germany.thank you oscar for my BTTS bet that WON and inpart saved me from the hooded claw !!!!
Mattr-i should have taken your advice but it came right in the end-il learn !!!
Every body ignore my confident post about Brazil yesterday. I called it wrong.
I.ve got a sneaky feeling Holland could do something similar to Germany last night
If Argentina press on it could maybe let them do what they did to Spain in game 1
I’ve only been impressed by Argentina in an attacking sense against Nigeria
Good luck with all those who have a dabble tonight
It wouldn’t also surprise my if De Jong is only fit enough to come on and boot Messi up the ronson
He must dream about opportunities like this
Im glad it came in for you CC but maybe now is the time to take stock, identify what got you in that situation and make sure it doesn’t happen again. Sorry if you think I’m preaching. Best of luck whatever :-)
Again too tight to call for me tonight. I am on Argentina outright but gut feeling is telling me Holland will sneak it tonight. Won’t bet on it and pray I am wrong. Will get corners tip up later and hope I can follow on from yesterday’s winner.
Raal what about Hamilton Hearts btts? No idea of odds but jumped straight out at me…
Matt, we will score, I have no doubts and assuming Hamilton field a full strength side then that looks excellent. I will put up the teams nearer kick off and see what we think mate.
My tips from yesterday:
Tennis, Hall of fame championships.
J. Sock to beat A. Kuznetsov at around 4/7 *WON*
In play Tennis, Hewitt to beat Harisson at 2/1 *WON*
Glad I changed my mind and backed Germany before kick off too! :-)
Good morning all :-)
Onwards and upwards…Argentina v Holland will be another tricky 1 tonight. I’m tempted to put £1 on 7-1 Argentina just imagine that ha ha. We wish.
On the serious side…I’m going with Argentina. Will be a close game though. Messi anytime goalscorer and Argentina to qualify
Will be looking at matches in the day and will post corner bets for u guys.
Have a wonderful day….Time to get the guttering cleaned out today so il be spending most of my time on the roof :-)
Don’t fall over Harpreet :-)
Another tennis tip if anyone’s interested:
ATP Stuttgart – Benjamin Becker to beat Benoit Paire at 37/20
I backed Argentina at 4/1 to win the world cup and I’m sticking with them tonight to qualify for the final
In whole world, I have never seen somebody doing his/her job better than Messi.
Argentina 2 Holland 1.
Mark my words.
And another tennis tip! –
Jerzy Janowicz to beat Dusan Lajovic at 4/5
After being treated to a goal feast last night I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a 0 v 0 tonight …. Although I do really fancy Argentina to get to the final ….. I’ll see how my day goes before deciding on other bets for the match… Looking forward to hearing today’s tips ..
*** Pohang Steelers v FC Seoul in the Korea K League – BTTS 8/11 – 11.30AM kick off….Get on it ***
finished 0-0 that game
Hall of fame tennis champs
Isner d Krajicek 2-0 @ 2/5 (banker)
Hewitt d Pavic 2-1 @ 3/1 (spanker)
I smell fullasheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Don’t know why but over 10 corners in the Argentina Holland game @ evens with bet365 looks tempting ♠
As for the lucky punter Mr F mentioned in your write-up, I found a better bet confirmation:
20 USD placed on Khedira to score anytime and Germany to win 7-1 odds: 2318/1
It might be fake though. What do you think?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsDgaxIIUAAsQbV.jpg:large
It looks legit but anyone willing to put £20 on that is obviously loaded anyway. My equivalent would be 2p on that kind of bet.
przemm, it might be fake – I don’t know. The thing about these bets is some people bet this way all the time. Loose change on crazy bets and hope one comes in every couple of years. It’s not proper betting and anyone who did 5-0 HT Germany shouldn’t claim it as a great tip – it’s just a lucky one with no skill involved.
Fathead leave it, move on, I for one don’t fancy another day of the nonsense. How about a tip :-)
FATHEAD….I simply will.not respond to u as mr fixit has stated. Just here to post tips and like everybody else continue making money mate :-) Last of it mate
On the 0-0 for tonight, neither team fills me with confidence, Argentina have been involved in a few low scoring games and see this on no differently.
I echo those sentiments. Surely worth a dabble on 0-0.
Thanks Matt mate :-) Get on my 11 am BTTS tip mate
Hi mr f, will there be separate threads for each of the uk leagues inc. Lower scottish for ante post bets for the season ahead where genuine info can be put up by the real punters from the likes of bournemouth, bury etc etc, could be a few gems out there we wouldnt otherwise know about. Great site this is anyway and C’MON ARGENTINA !!!!
jimbo, there will be when the site is launched. There will be antepost threads put up by me before that but not one for every league and I never do the anteposts too early because late signings and departures can make all the difference.
Surely if he backed brazil to win it didn’t make a diff they were 7 nil down ?
***can everyone please ignore harpreet today with the exception of Mr f***
cooldude, that’s not fair. I’m trying to ignore him too. Last word on the £50k bet claim. I don’t believe it for a minute and the main reason is he gave the wrong return – schoolboy error if you’re going to make those sort of claims. Anyone can say they had any sum on any bet which is why people shouldn’t quote stakes and shouldn’t claim wins if they haven’t posted the original tip.
Bad day for me yesterday so hoping to end in profit after today, might put a few quid on your btts Harpreet to pass some time in work
MR FIX IT AMONGST OTHERS helped confirm my gets . I did think Germany woukd smash them maybe 3-0 not 7-1 ha, I had just about everything come in!!!!! Ht.ft, -1 -2 win n both to score Germany 3+ goals muller anytime , brill night !!!! About time made some back!!!!!
My brother and mate were playing FIFA yesterday before the game, Germany vs Brazil, score ended up 7-1 but to Brazil, I was on Germany to win though, shoulda taken it as a sign and put £1 on!!
Play Argentina v Holland for us please ;)
cool dude…Again I will not respond to you. Onwards and upwards like I said.
Good luck andy…BTTS it is mate 11 am game :-)
cool dude…Again I will not respond to you. Onwards and upwards like I said.
Good luck andy…BTTS it is mate 11 am game :-)
I’ve just looked at the Korean games footie fan and I’m with you on this one. On paper looks the strongest one for goals.
Over 2.5 goals and BTTS 5/4
Good Luck everyone!
Someone had ££ on 5-0 HT @PaddyPower yday at 500/1, sure ot was on their twitter page laat night. Anyway today I’ve only got an Germany Argentina double still running at just under 13/2 & also Messi top gl scorer pre tourny, hoping for at least 1 from him tonight but leaving it at that.
It was nice to win money and not sweat about it. I even made more money by backing the Germans to score before 70mins after the first goal and again after the 5th goal. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough for the goals in between ;)
On to tonight then. I was very tempted before the semi’s to take the Germany v Argentina final at 5/2. My initial thought was Argentina would find a way through. Now I’m not so sure. I’ve evaluated the Costa Rica v Holland game and compared that to the Dutch games against Spain, Australia and Chile. Holland love to be attacked and then hit on the counter. I’m sure Argentina have done the same and will be wary about leaving spaces open for Holland to exploit like they did against Spain and also what Germany did to Brazil last night. The game last night hasn’t changed my perspective on the outcome of this match and I think it will be two teams that will go out ‘not to lose’.
I’m undecided on who will actually go through to the final. For me its too tight to call compared to last night. I have a feeling this could be a bit of a chess match.
As I won big last night I’m putting shrapnel on this game for interest. I’m kind of hoping for extra time just to help my pick Germany a bit more in the final. I’ll probably have a couple of quid accumulator for interest with some of the following:
Picks:
Draw 9/4 – Various
Under 2.5 goals – 8/13 – Skybet
Over 3.5 match cards – 5/4 – Bet365
– Referee has booked 9 players in his previous 2 WC games so surely worth a punt
1st half injury time – 1min – 11/10 – Bet365
Holland to win on pens – 11/1 – Bet365
Good Luck anyone having a bet! I’m keeping it small in the hope Germany can win big for me on Sunday :)
On that cardsbet craigyboy think that’s the way to go that game I’ll also b doing goalscorer bets along with booking bets.backed Germany to qualify last night then jamp on the goal train and goalscorers after the 1st goal in play decent evening for me.
Too much doubt that Seoul will score for me Harpreet and at too short a price so going to leave it. Good luck though.
Does anyone see the 9/4 on offer about James Rodruigez/Germany top goalscorer/winner double as a Super Punt…Think about it he is a Goal in frontof Muller and apart from Messi scoring, if you fancy Germany outright, you are just waiting on Muller not scoring in the Final…..Am I missing something…..9/4!!
shaker 1, you need to take into account the dead-heat rules and third-place game. Just back Germany to win the final in 90 minutes if you think they will.
Just seen this mentioned as i was going to put up having good bet on it as been loads of goals in these two sides in last few games plus head to heads usually lots of goals.
BTTS in Jeonam Dragons v Gyeonam 5/6 Sky BET
In after 12mins nev! easiest winner you will have today ;)
If we too away their ‘weaker’ opponents Holland and Argentina would be averaging under 4 corners each won in their games so far so depite pouring over the stats can’t find anything in the market I am willing to tip.
I will be on the following all at level stakes though and am over 70% confident I will make a profit:
O3.5 cards 5/4
2nd Half injury time 4+ minutes 4/9
Robben fgs (13/2) and ags (12/5)
Messi fgs (10/3) and ags (6/5)
2nd half highest scoring 1/1
Will also be interested in Chief’s goalscorer tips. Am pretty sure Chris tipped these goalscorers anyway…
Reasons why Brazil lost to Germany:
I think in all fairness Brazil had been riding their luck throughout the WC and had dodgy referee decisions from the first game with Croatia and were overly dependent on neymar.
The entire team lacked any substance and at time individuals showed glimmer of class such as David Luiz’s Fantastic free kick.
However they came against what can only be described as a ruthlessly efficient German team. Germany passed the ball with confidence they came forward as a pack with players interchanging and they also had a stronger temperament and belief than Brazil.
When you look back at Germanys games with Algeria and Ghana they were tough games but those African sides wanted it more and on this occasion Brazil never had that same attitude.
Overall the better team won and thankfully there were no sending offs/penalties or any other controversy to tarnish their performance, and no referee decisions could have prevented Germany from winning with that margin
I think this is a great example for England that the discipline & hunger needed to get to Germanys standard.
David, had to laugh at a guy on the radio this morning who said, “This is where it gets tough now for Germany. Next two games are World Cup Final and Scotland!” I’m sure they’re quaking in their boots.
Any idea why there is no in play on the Korean matches?
Can’t see the Dragons game anywhere, using Bet365
On the cards market over 1.5 Holland cards seems a good bet as they’ll be taking out Messi for 90 mins. 5/6 @Bet365
Jeonnam Dragons 0-1 Gyeongnam
8mins
Great start :)
Robben to be shown a card 9/2 @Betvictor too, the amount of diving that’s been going on and if Holland are losing this must have a chance. 7/2 BP elsewhere
Jeonnam Dragons 1-1 Gyeongnam

BTTS score already in. One more needed!
andy you can get score updates on flashscores!
Hope people got on BTTS up after 12 mins great start for the day
Something that has just caught my eye with Pohang Steelers, in their last 5 games at home they have scored 16 goals and conceding 3. In 3 it was -2 and two -1.
The -1 handicap is 19/10 on William Hill.
Small stake for me on that!
k/o is 11.30am so be quick!
Got on Holland over 1.5 cards come on you Dutch play dirty…
2-1 Jeonnam Dragons. I’m on draw no bet Jeonnam. Glad the BTTS and overs came in for you guys.

Nice one Footie Fan! Easy winner!
Missed that again!!!!!!
The game isn’t on Bet365 so missed it
IN-PLAY: Pohang Steelers to beat Seoul
Currently 5/6
As far as I can see Rojo just back from suspension, Biglia and Garay booking away from 1. Blind Huntelaar and Martins booking away from suspension for Holland.
This is if it’s 2 bookings in KO stages and suspended.
I thought they’d been re-set after the quarter finals.
Craig, as has been suggested no one on a booking can be suspended for the Final. Only a red will miss you the Final even if you are on a yellow.
– my picks for the world cup match-
Argentina to qualify 7/10
Argentina over 5.5 corners 11/10
Holland over 1.5 bookings 5/6
Hope to get a return off these
Nev…What time does ur BTTS kick off mate ?

Any thoughts on why ladbrokes still haven’t paid out on a load of my winning in play bets from th germany game yesterday? Need that moolah to make more!
Ad, just back in and will put up Aregntina-Holland post soon. Re Ladbrokes just ask them – maybe they’re out of cash!
Holland 2+ cards 5/6 £10 @Bet365
Robben anytime card 9/2 £4 @Betvictor
Robben 1st card 25/1 £1 @Betvictor
That’s me done now haha couldn’t help myself after a wee look :)
Craig- have there been any yellows for diving at this World Cup yet? They generally haven’t been buying them and waving play on but I haven’t seen any bookings myself
Scolari says ‘it is the worst day of my life’. For someone who’s nephew was killed in a car crash in the lead up to the competition this idiot needs to get some perspective on life.
He has to say that. I’m sure he is public enemy number 1 in Brazil at the minute.
Germany saved my day yesterday after poor day at the races. Tonights game will be totally different but would go with btts and draw after 90 minutes.robben to score anytime and the dutch to qualify in extra time. Good luck.
missed it Nev :-) Good luck anyway mate
Good luck Chrisemy mate :-)
Don’t know AD, I’ve missed most games but a big deal was made about Robben admitting he dived we may get the 1st, if not they’ll still be kicking Messi about tonight, winning – trying to keep him at bay. losing – trying to get the ball off him
Burami 11/10 got to be worth a go at 1 down , was2/5 at kick off
Having a go at that Buriram to win. All over Bangkok

Over 2.5fhg in the Buriram game?
Burriam over 1.5fhg win!
Guangzhou v Hamburg over 1.5fhg @ over 3.5mg
All about two friendlies for me today, Bury away at northern league division 1 Radcliffe borough and Yeovil away at calor gas prem(the old southern league) frome town.
Bury had a very good second half of the season under David flitcroft and have made a few decent si gnings at this level including goal getting Ryan Lowe and kelvin etehu, they are taking their strongest squad and should beat a modest Radcliffe side by a couple at least imo, i have taken them half time full time at 13-10 and will also be on them at minus 1 when the game comes in running
second up is yeovil away at frome town from the southern premier league,again yeovil are taking a full strength squad and should win by at least one or two, i am on yeovil half time full time at 20-21and will be on yoville minus 1 again in running good luck all
Afternoon all, Does anyone on here use the betrally.com? If so, have you had any problems making withdrawals? It’s just that I submitted a couple of withdrawal requests (one 3 days ago) and they still has not been fully processed, as it’s still giving me the option to cancel the withdrawal request :-s
They obviously want to keep that option open as long as possible in the hope I lose some bets and then want to cancel the withdrawal. I don’t think they should have this option, I doubt the bigger bookies do this?
Aircon, I’ve not heard of them to be honest. I wouldn’t worry too much about cancelling the withdrawal option as I’ve seen that before. Just ignore it but press them on when you’ll get the money.
On it Andy m
Hibs are in negotiations about a takeover bid. It is being ‘bankrolled’ by Property Developer and Licensed Trade Magnet Kevin Doyle. If it happens then I am pretty sure I will be in a position to give some ‘exclusives’ about Mr Doyle that many newspapers would like. Myself and Doyle go back a long way and there is no love lost ;) Tick Tock Doyle :)
raaljaca, I hope it’s not the Kevin Doyle that works beside me! Has this been reported because if you have an exclusive you know who to contact and he’ll pass it on.
Mr fix it like i stated I will not be putting up amounts at all now. Feel that even after being myself nobody wants to believe me but that’s fine mate. Onwards and upwards like I said. I’m cool about it…Let’s continue to win some money :-)
harpreet, glad to hear it but just one question. Why’s a guy with a spare £50k cleaning his gutters and fish pond? I’d get a man in and spend the time studying form.
Doing it himself is why he has a spare 50k!
raaljaca, that’s where I went wrong then.
Paul that makes it all the better for cards then, nothing to lose if a team is losing going into later stages
Mr F, If you’re right that the semi is a free game for yellow cards. I’m on over 3.5 at 5/4 as the ref is the Turkish bloke that sent off nani in champions league last year and has shown 9 cards in his two games at this World Cup. Fill your boots guys !!!!!!!!
Banksie, it’s definitely the case. Yellows are wiped after quarter-finals now.
guys would cards count up to 90 mins or can they go to 120 mins
Jaggy Cee, all bets are 90 minutes unless stated by you or the bookie and then of course prices will change.
Might try the over 3.5 in the cards market. Is a Straight Red 2 points and a yellow 1. Just debating this with a mate who reckons a card is a card whether its straight red or yellow or 2nd yellow for a red which i agree is 1 point. I just seem to remember that a straight red is 2 points. Anyone got an idea ?
seannyboy, it depends who you bet with so check the rules. Sometimes a card is a card but usually a red is two.
Mr F …if Rodriguez, Muller and Messi were all to finish on 6 goals, does Rodriguez win golden boot due to less minutes played? That would mean M&M need 7?
Harpreet is anagram of Prat Here!
Bob, golden boot is for goals scored! Minutes played mean nothing.
Bob H, the Golden Boot is decided on assists if they tie on goals and I think Muller has more. Top scorer is a different market and deadheat rules apply.
I always do my own work. It reminds me.of when my dad walked in the Mercedes Benz garage with me wearing his dirty clothes after working in his allotment. They all looked at us thinking what are they doing here. Hard work makes money…We ended up purchasing a merc for myself as my 18th birthday present for £38,000 which I still have a receipt of up to this day. Never judge a book by its cover my dad used to say…& how right has he been ever since :-) No money is spare also…;-)
Your dad is a very wise man harpreet.
Still begs the question, why were you crying about losing a £100 bet a few weeks ago? Even more baffling now
Never thought there was that much money to be made growing veggies in an allotment ;-)
harpreet, I was only joking but if that’s the case how much to do my gutters then? I don’t disagree with you but I can make more money paying someone to do my gutters than if I spend the time myself. Either that or I’ll have a game of golf. Anyway off to walk the dug – on holiday from tomorrow night (apart from World Cup Final night) so may do my own gutters then.
i remember my dad taking me to the bike shop and it was near christmas he had got his paypacket,he bought me a bike it cost £90 he said to me “son if you don’t pass your driving test when your 17 you will be riding one of these for the rest of your life”!
Wise words macca, dad’s always know best but we never appreciate that until way to late in life mate.
my dad was of work for 6 month,s with a broken flask.
macca, my dad bought me a second-hand Mini when I passed my test at 17 but only if I promised not to buy a motorbike.
Now that is some top parenting Mr F. I hope you kept your promise!
Ad, you’ve lost me.
Sorry, think I came to the conversation late. But your old man getting you a Mini to keep you off a death-cycle- that’s praiseworthy parenting in my book.
Ad, got you – problem was I ended up sitting pillion on nice days going to places like Forfar and Brechin to watch the Bankies. On wet days we took my car.

Weston Super Mare Vs Bristol City
Bet365 had Bristol city at 1.50 but I just noticed a drop to 1.40 still good value as it would be a comfortable victory tonight by 2-3 goals!

Aircon-it took betfair 4 days to my son £100-iv withdrawn my money i won last night and phoned them to pay it in by thurs/fri as i need it !!! They said 24hrs…..
Thank you Raal…We owned the Hawthorns pub no right next door to the Albino ground for years after which my dad sold it and opened a few pubs in Birmingham. I’m originally from Wolverhampton. An allotment is a pass time cool dude like I said…It’s what u enjoy. My dad once had a go at me for walking past a penny on the floor as I was to shy to pick it up as people would laugh at me. Never again …
He said penny’s make pound’s…Pounds make hundreds and hundreds make thousands.
When my father bought his first property in 1958 the most he spent was £5,000.how times change hey? Houses were cheap them days. As years went on and on we built up a very successful construction company. We have it based now in the Midlands and Leeds also. Manku construction services.
So here u go…Onwards and upwards. Raal Luke I said would be a joy to meet up.of u ever visit leeds soon mate.
Harpreet do yourself a favor and dont bring my name up in your conversations. I no way shape or form do I want to be associated with you.
cooldude, he can mention you as long as he doesn’t slander you. Right, I’m off before war breaks out again.
That website needs a lot of work done on it, just so you know
A great story harpreet. I know the pub as I have been to the Hawthorns a few times many years ago, when pubs shut at 2.30 and reopened at 5! Went to the WBA V WEST HAM game in the late 80’s with some West Ham boys and went in the West Brom end, basically a riot started after my accent was mistaken for a cockney one!! WBA bought your dads pub a few years back I think.
LOL cooldude your banter cracks me up – harpreet might have the good looks but theres 5 mins left on the BTTS..starting to sweat :-(
Dave, Big Mac will not be betting on Harpreets tips I can assure you. Id rather pay my wife to clean the gutters.
Mr f-from now on im sticking to your tips(small stakes) and the bets ive studied !!
Centrecircle, my bets don’t always win but glad to hear you’re keeping to stakes you can afford to lose.
Like I said Mr fix it…I enjoy doing work myself. Yes your probably right making more money whilst getting somebody else to do it..However some things u enjoy and unjust want to do ur self..
I make my own tea always..Never like anybody else making my tea. its the same thing if you understand what I mean :-)
Enjoy ur holidays…Where u off to mate ?
harpreet, kids have a couple of trips to go on separately so planning 4 or 5 days in London and that’s about it.

cooldude I few the same way…Concentrate on your betting.
London is always a nice place :-) Hope the kids enjoy it….I’m sure they will.
Natty P…You always ask. By asking u can’t lose however if u don’t ask u don’t get. A way to be successfull mate. ;-)
Anyway of to by some.microphones….Have a good day guys :-)
Harpreet to be fair it sounds like your dads been quite successful so fair play to him, I lived not far from the hawthorns so know the pub, I’m sure it’s a redevelopment site now. But anyway a better plan for your success would be to fully educate yourself about what you’re doing with your betting cos you’re on a slippery slope.
Being completely impartial, your btts tip this morning was poor, the stats nowhere near pointed to btts and it’s bad form posting tips if your research isn’t solid
Northy…The website is not for everybody mate. Few complain some.don’t…It’s the way life goes mate :-)
dudes, how the f*ck did these 2 last words not get moderated?????????????????????????????????
raaljaca, the comment has gone. The two words used separately are not offensive so I can’t ban them. Also you know when those comments are spotted they are deleted.
I know Mr F and also know dudes sense of humour but did say to him he cannot use these words in any context. dudes we know how the world is so think before every post mate!
raaljaca, he can’t use that analogy – it’s unacceptable and he’ll be finished here if there’s a repeat. One thing though – that comment gets one person into trouble and it’s not me unless we refused to delete it. Cooldude would be the one pursued and possibly prosecuted.
Mr f, apologies if you took offence, I didnt think you would. Raal are you not in profit now that argentina have made the semis?
cooldude, don’t bring religion on to the site. It’s not important if I’m offended or not – you can think these things but don’t post them as a comment.
dudes, I can lay off and guarantee profit mate as the potentially 2 opponents outright will be around EVENS and I have staked £4,000 but have a profit of £14,000 if Argentina win. £4,000 on Holland to qualify would see a £1,000 profit guaranteed no matter what or if Argentina qualify my potential profit at £10,000 to lay if required against Germany.
when i was young my grandma used to say to me “grandson if you ask your dad for anything never tell your mum and vice versa”i used to say why grandma?i now understand.ooops i thought this was the bygone era page,didn’t realise i was on betting website lol
Macca- we’re down from three world cup matches every day to one if we’re lucky. it’s a large and hard void to fill, and it shows!
macca the red, it’s a quiet day. It would be better if all the chat was about betting but there is room for some banter. The people who complain most seem to be those who never put up tips anyway.
Only if they don’t tip Sanchez at 2/5 for Liverpool ;)
sanchez has signed for arsenal has he hmmm and barca are still wanting suarez hmmm
i don’t tip on here because who will read them i have tipped two winners during the world cup on here and nobody noticed.
I noticed macca, I love you mate ;)
i don’t wanna be loved raal
Sorry macca but just can’t help it :)
I can’t get used to losin’ you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life through

I read all the posts but can’t possibly respond to all especially since I play my own tips only but read all for info I may have missed or for markets that I might have missed. Keep doing what you do. Trust me it gets read. This is a fine sight with fine people.

Thanks for the reply centrecircle.
It’s good to know that it’s not just me and that other bookies also take a while to process withdrawals.
To be honest, I was feeling a bit worried, as betrally isn’t exactly the most well known of sites!
Unfortunately they don’t have a phone number, Only email or live chat. I told them on live chat that I need the money asap. They just said they would forward my request to the accounts department but cannot guarantee it would be done today :-/
Aircon, as I said I don’t anything about betrally. One thing you’ll get with the big boys such as bet365, Ladbrokes, Hills, Betfred, etc is guaranteed, worry-free payouts.

I had a dream yesterday Germany won 3-1 and today I have a feeling that Argentina will win dunno why Holland are a good team but I’m not betting anything just goin to watch
Been reading comments from yesterday and today in regards to Harpreet’s 50k bet. If he did place the bet then so be it and congratulations. I personally don’t believe but hey ho, life goes on.
Chief, I would like to say thank you for your yesterday’s tips. I followed them and had a great profit. Your write-up convinced me to add one more bet and that was over 2.5 match goals. I am impatiently waiting for your views on Argentina – Netherlands
Przemm, Cheers mate just one of those nights were everything landed and turned out too be highly profitable glad I could help :)
Just to let you know that Betfred are offering 13/8 on Messi anytime £100 limit today.
Womens Swedish Damallsvenskan Matches
17:45 KIF OREBRO WOMEN V LINKOPINGS over 2.5 goals
Having looked at this game the stats are favorable for the over 2.5 and possibly over 3.5 the away team especially seem to like the away goals lately having scored 9 in the last 4 away games.
Kif did record a 4-0 away win over Linkopings last month so revenge will be in the minds and this could lead to a goal fest.
IN-PLAY:

Mary P my tip for the earlier game could of easily landed. I don’t feel it was a poor tip…Most of my BTTS tips land.
Mate I’m not sure what criteria you use for assessing your btts tips but merely the fact that only 1 of Pohangs last 5 home games had seen btts, now 1 in 6, with 2 of the other games been scoreless and 2 wins to nil should have been enough to put you off. It doesn’t bode well when the strongest team is at home and the stats show they concede very few in home games.
Yes the site is just open.now…Opposite is the good old sunblest bakery…Then u have soho road down the road. I often go down mate still :-)

After a goal within 90secs I thought this one would sail in.

dudes, I tipped Argentina to win the tournament at 9/2 and will not desert them. I am also on over 3.5 match goals at 4/1 now as 1 goal will lead to 2 etc etc.
Netherlands v Argentina
Having already backed Argentina to win the world cup, I wont be going in to back them tonight. Argentina have never lost a world cup semi final and I think they will get the job done tonight.
My only bet on this game is in the goal scorer market and the player I am with is Gonzalo Higuain. I tipped him against Belgium and he delivered his first goal of the tournament. Higuain is a proven scorer and got 9 in 11 in the qualifying campaign, and with all the focus on Messi, I will be on Higuain 11/4 at 888sport
HIGUAIN TO SCORE 11/4
Good luck if your having a bet
Stick to the tips, harpreets compulsive lieing is getting boring…
Will be on that Swedish game 1plus2.
raal i think argentina are full strength tonight as Rojo is back from injury
dudes, you are exactly like Big Mac!!!! speak your mind no matter what :)
Cool dude I don’t think they are quite at full strength di Maria is a loss to them
Harpreet, when I said the website needs work, I mean none of the pages are correct, every single link doesn’t exist and throws back errors. You should definitely look at getting it fixed, otherwise the net worth of that business might take a pounding, more than the 66% loss it’s gradually been making over the last 3 years
Raal you cannot blame one player alone for brazils performance, but David Luiz had a mare.
Its incredible to think a nutcase like him has signed to PSG for 50m!! surely one of the most debatable transfers ever??
dudes, you are one mental guy :)
But be careful dudes or you and especially Mr F could have the arse sued off you!!
cooldude, don’t go there – you’re in danger of going too far.
Right then afternoon people. looking forward to today’s game :-) Raal…Will keep an eye out what u think of boxing bet u will post mate
The websites under moderation!
Echo chamber !
Every time I’ve seen Argentina in this world cup I’ve said today surely has to be the day they turn it on, and again, today is the day that I think they turn it on, and on top of the fact that Holland actually aren’t all that in my opinion I will be going for Argentina to win in 90 minutes, messi to score at anytime and over 1.5 bookings for Holland
Sanchez to Arsenal isn’t signed, sealed and delivered yet so i’ll keep my “i told you sos” to a minimum, but who was it on here that was trying to tell people it was a great bet to lump on Sanchez to sign for Liverpool @ 2/5 because Phil Thompson said it was a done deal!?!?
Come on now, you know who you are… :D

Mr F a lot worse is said by comedians that is actually funny for those with a sense of humour and see it in that context.

Howdy Folks
I came on to see if there is much on offer today. Clearly there isn’t much out there. I am turning my attention to the approaching season.
Raal, I have seen you mention Hearts @ 4/1. Had Rangers not signed well in Boyd and Miller I would have been in absolute agreement with you.
As it is I just agree. Second place at worst looks there for the taking so each should return your money. I will be tipping that too.
In the Premiership I think Aberdeen’s early start could give them an advantage as they hit the ground running. However I am not enthused by the 2/1 on offer for them to finish 2nd. The early start could count against them later on in the season. Could be potential for a back to lay.
There could be some value in backing Kilmarnock, St Mirren or Ross County for relegation. For this I will wait until closer to KO and it will depend on signings etc but of all of them St Mirren @ 9/1 to finish bottom might be who I plump for.
Hard to see past Dunfermline in League One and first thoughts are that League 2 is a bit of a minefield.
Just some initial thoughts. Looking forward now to the World Cup ending and attention turning back to domestic football.
Any one else got any opinions?
Fitba Tips, I’ve already said I can’t see past Rangers as long as they’re not with any punishments. Hearts look good for second but we don’t know what to expect from Hibs. Aberdeen should improve from last season and that means second spot. Goodwillie will be a good signing if he can screw the nut. Is in danger of wasting his career though.
Mr F
I fear Goodwillie is heading the way of Riordan. Another wasted talent.
Mr F
Something I will be keeping an eye on will be PP ‘top team goalscorer’ market.
I would have done very well out of that last season where it not for goodwillie.
Last season they has Kilmarnock – Any other player (i.e. Kris Boyd) at odds against.
Bv
Raal sorry mate I’m your rival just for today I’ll be against Argentina because I backed Holland to win the World Cup @ 12/1 and Germany too @ 13/2 ;)
Hope they do the business ;)
But no worries I still love you & goodluck :D
captain, I love you to mate and hope both win the cup for you ;) I am in a great position as I can guarantee profit now if I choose to back Holland to qualify but will sit tight on Argentina as I took them pre tournament and don’t like deserting my own pick.
Mr f and raal what bookies are offering best deals to join? And is the matched stake they offer credited to ur account straight away?
watp, go to oddschecker mate and every deal is there above each bookmaker.
watp, check oddschecker, betrescue or easyodds for all the offers. Matched stakes aren’t always credited straight away – there are often terms and conditions.
Macca the red…No comment.
Mr F- putting your life in danger en route to watching the bankies play was probably a subconscious attempt to save yourself from some serious pain when you got there!

Some opta stats before the site descends to complete chaos:
Argentina have reached their first World Cup semi-final since 1990, when they went on to finish runners-up to West Germany.
La Albiceleste have progressed from all three of their World Cup semi-finals.
These teams have met four times in the World Cup, with Holland winning twice and Argentina once, with one draw.
Argentina’s victory, in the 1978 final, is their only win against Holland in eight meetings overall (L4 D3).
Argentina have lost just one of their last 16 World Cup games (W12 D3, not including penalty shoot-outs).
Holland have lost two of their 12 World Cup games against South American teams, not including penalty shoot-outs (1978 final v Argentina and 1994 quarter-final v Brazil).
10 of Holland’s 12 goals in this tournament have come after half-time.
Holland’s last four goals in this tournament have come after the 75th minute.
Argentina are yet to trail for a single minute of the 2014 World Cup.
Holland are the only team to concede more than one penalty at the 2014 World Cup.
Holland have had seven different goal scorers at this World Cup, more than any team.
Write up to follow :)
Argentina will be hoping that Messi can inspire them with his brilliance while the Dutch will be banking on the genius of Van Gaal and this new team spirit that he has fostered. Prior to the tournament I thought that the Dutch would self implode after the group stages and they have not. Do not forget they were in the last World Cup final. Having weighed up the Argentinian team they are not great, in fact they are ordinary in my view. I picked a Germany/Argentina prior to the World Cup but I’m willing to change my opinion from what I have seen thus far. I am talking about the little things that stick out during the course of a tournament and the luck that comes along with that. Holland thumped Spain the current World Champions, they came back from the dead against Mexico to show lots of courage and triumphed on penalty kicks against the spirited Costa Ricans that would have given anyone a game at this World Cup. In contrast the only memorable thing I remember about Argentina was the game against Argentina when Nigeria decided to go for it. I didn’t watch that game and have no idea how good Argentina were. They are heavily reliant upon Messi both creating and scoring where as the Dutch have match winners in RVP (if he plays) Robben, and Wesley. I am a football person through and through and can see that the luck has been with the Dutch which might just get them to another final. There is not much between these two teams, a lot less than yesterday and although a lot of us said last night’s game would be close I believe that was said on the basis of a number of key ingredients such as home turf, crowd and Brazil’s previous record. That was my reasoning for saying it could go either way. There is always an element of that in football there is no certainty especially if 11 players turn up resolute, with team spirit and fighting for the collective cause. That cannot be underestimated. I am going against the grain and believe the Dutch will make in what will hopefully be entertaining game. I hope they score first because if Argentina do that will kill the game as a spectacle. I will not be on anyone but if I was then it would be the Dutch.
Van Persie (First goal) 13/2 William Hill if he starts. I believe he will and cannot see a dodgy stomach keeping him out. He is out of the headlines and dangerous.
Higuain anytime 11/4 (not sure where chief got his odds but go for that) I am jumping on this after reading what the chief wrote but for differing reasons. Now that he has a goal I think he will be a different animal and that is the basis for my decision although I know who the inspiration was ;)
Robben anytime 11/4 I will decide if I want to give any further coin to the bookies when I go to place my bets.
I also like the look of a penalty being awarded especially with the likes of Robben and Messi about and the 2nd half to have most goals but will not be backing those either. This is not roulette you know!

Raal, I was somewhat shocked & upset by your scurrilous attack on Lance Armstrong yesterday & feel compelled to defend the innocent man.
You are blaming all his fans for a crime they didn’t commit.
He has changed his name to Le Lance Armstrong. Sold his bike to himself for a fiver. It wasn’t Armstrong that won all the titles, it was the bike that crossed the finishing line!
Therefore ALL the titles transfer with the bike.
Can’t wait for Le Tour De France ’15
Le lance Armstrong today
Le lance Armstrong tomorrow
Le lance Armstrong forever
Cos we don’t do cycling away!
My mistake Blancos. Also all credit to the SFA for trying to help him keep all his titles :)
Raal, it takes a real man to admit when he is wrong.
I salute you.

Good day mates. I have been frantically busy with work but with that out of the way, time to tip some (hopefully) winning punts.
I bet Holland v Argentina over 2 goals at close to evens as soon as the line was released for this game. (1.97) and I feel really confident with that bet.
Another bet I made was total bookings over 3.5 at odds of 2.16. Robben himself drew 3 yellows against Costa Rica with his tenacious play and I do believe the Dutch’s tactical set up is conducive to rough tackles and drawing cards. They love to play a strict man marking system that frustrates opponents. They relentlessly sit almost on the shoulders of their opponents and this frustrates them because it’s hard to shake them loose.
Argentinian players are known to be hot headed and I can see Demichelis getting frustrated as he’ll most likely be the man assigned to Robben. Perhaps I might bet him to be shown a yellow at some point in the match but as of this write up I am still undecided. I expect a physical game and for these reasons I have backed over 3.5 bookings.
It helps too that today’s match official from Turkey is known to brandish cards (9 in his two officiated matches at this WC).
On the goals front, Argentina were the highest scoring team in qualification from CONMEBAL. For the Dutch, Van Persie was tied for most goals in UEFA qualifying (11) and the squad in general were second only to Germany in European qualifying goals scored (34) registering a 3.4 gpg average.
The Dutch are averaging 14.3 shots per game, Argentina 18.2. Netherlands has conceded an average of 8.8 shots against whilst Argentina has averaged 12.2 shots against per game. We ‘should’ see plenty of chances and at the end of the day it’s what the teams do with those chances that will win or lose this bet. However playing in the cooler evening temps will help and with the likes of Robben, Sniejder, RVP, Messi, Higuain, Agüero to name a few at the disposal of both clubs I had to tap that over 2 goals at near evens on the open of the lines.
To summarize, I expect plenty of chances at both ends and even if the chances are not as high, there are enough clinical finishers on the pitch to take those chances and get us the goals in what should be a hotly contested, tough football match.
The bets;
Holland v Netherlands over 2 MG (AH) at 1.97
Total bookings/cards over 3.5 at 2.16
Best of luck with all your wagers today friends. Hoping everyone has a profitable day.
Messi anytime 6/5 bet 365 . I feel that it might just take his magic for Argentina to progress to the final
Bernard to score 1st @ 21. and anytime @ 9. *LOST**LOST*
He stands at the intimidating height of 5ft 4 inches. 1.62m. Brazil 1-0
I am going to take Brazil to qualify but I am waiting and hoping for a better price in-play.
Good luck to everybody betting.
————–
I only places a few very small bet to have an interest in what I expected to be a low scoring game last night.
How wrong was I. Although the end result didn’t have a financial effect on me, I found myself in a state of shock & dismay at what I was witnessing. I couldn’t process goal 3,4 & 5 as it happened.
2 fun bets I’m on for the Argie v Holland game:
Acc 1
Over 5 first half corners
1 minute first half stoppage time
Approx 4/1
Acc 2
Over 3.5 cards
No goal before 34mins
Approx 2/1
Interesting bet Craigyboy.
I might just choose one for an interest. I enjoy placing corner bets and shouting ‘no, nooo run to the by-line’
It sure does get you strange looks if you are watching the game in a bar.
It’s when you start waving imaginery yellow cards in a pub you get funny looks.
Do what I do, take real ones made from an old cereal box with glued on yellow and red paper all available from a good newsagents :)
Though most landlords do frown on you measuring 10 yards from the telly and spraying a line of hair mousse on the carpet so I won’t recommend that, from experience.
Haha Raal as a bloke who did some football refereeing I’ve got the real red and yellow cards. I haven’t seen any spray in Sports Direct just yet. So mousse it is!
Fiddler I’m watching the game on TV, Legia played a friendly yesterday and have put up a young team for today with some starters, although I’d still fancy them

Yes shaun mate over 3.5 mg in aswell cheers bud. ;)

What are peoples thoughts on the Argentina & Messi misfit? I am a fan of Messi and have watched him play since he was 17/18.
Messi scored a fantastic goal in injury time against Iran & was subsequently hailed the messiah.
I can’t decide whether it’s the manager’s instruction that all play must go via Messi or Messi himself.
In my opinion if Messi hadn’t played at all against Iran, Argentina with the likes of Higuain, Di Maria, Lavezzi, Aguero and Palacio, plus others, would have wrapped that game up within an hour if not sooner.
If he were to score a few tonight, it still wouldn’t change my mind. Argentine have the most frightening attacking players in world football, therefore for me, has been the most underperforming team so far.

I’ve been having trouble too Greg! Cheers for posting. Will be on them!
Arka Gydnia v Panathinaikos
H/T 0-1.
The home side look like they are right in the game stats wise and have had more shot in total.
I’m on BTTS at 1/1- small bet
I prefer Greek food!!! LOST!!!
Took over 4.5mg also shaun mate. You my friend have made me a little tidy sum over the last 2 weeks. If your in the west mids anytime I will buy you a few drinks ;)
Pleasure Inter mate ;) I will hold you to that! haha. Only kidding, don’t mind helping out, its nice to see people winning! :)
Am on that Shaun!!!!!!!!
Hi Mr F, I have been a follower of your website for the past year and finally decided to drop you a line and say congrats on a great website that for a novice soccer punter from Australia, your tips/advice and those of raaljaca,Shaun Tanner, Greg Browning,etc (while not always followed) have been helpful in learning the ins and outs of soccer betting and look forward to hopefully posting a few tips in the future.
Just one negative though, can’t understand some of the comments from fellow tipsters to other tipsters just because they may not agree or lost money on someone else’s tip, good to win on someone else’s tip but gotta be gracious in a loss, that’s why it’s so much better when you win on one of your own.
Anyway keep up the good work, it’s much appreciated and anybody that doesn’t mind Aussie rules tomorrow night Adelaide to defeat Hawthorn and Saturday night Brisbane to defeat West Coast both straight out or +line, decent value both ways.
PS if either or both don’t win, sorry but means I lose too and it happens
Matt;
@HamAdSport1: HEARTS: Alexander, Paterson, McHattie, Wilson, Ozturk, Gomis, Walker, Holt, Keatings, Carrick, Nicholson.
@HamAdSport1: Subs: Hamilton, McKay, McGhee, Robinson, King, D. Smith, Oliver, Buaben, Beith, L. Smith.
Very strong Hearts side
Haven’t got the Hamilton side yet but Hearts to win at 6/5 looks a reasonable bet. Both to score is around 6/10 but the odds against on us winning for a small stake looks decent.
Matt, we will play 3-4-3 and try to score goals rather than just have a kickabout.
Cheers for this Raal. I’ll look at backing Hearts for a small stake 13/10 on 365
Shaun what is your take on the argie
Haha I thought he was for real but I can’t accept that now I’ve heard the every penny makes a pound story haha brilliant what a wind up.
Cheers Raal, had the feeling you have when your battery in your phone dies, haha!
This might be worthwhile form a very good mate who follows the sport;
Tennis today
3-00 today
Louk Sorensen in Stuttgart something stinks he’s Ev’s and should be 11/4 or no chance-lol
I have backed him to win just on strength of the crazy odds ie you can back Sjisling @ 8/11 – WHY he should be 2/5 ish
expecting Sorensen to win or maybe even Sjisling retire in match
** SORENSEN WINS 2-0 ** :) **
People pay large amounts of money for the info I put up today free ;)
Raal
Which info do you mean? The tennis above?
Correct misafir, a game where the odds were moving in a very unusual way and I gave plenty the opportunity to lump on as I get info that others can only dream about!!! All free of charge to my friends on here :)
hahaha! and its all appreciated our good friend.
If it makes or saves people money then I am happy Ulster. I am coming over a week on Friday rather than this Friday mate so will give you and mick the details over weekend.
thats great Raal my email is jim-tyrrell@hotmail.com
SORENSEN went off 4/6 and 2-0 was 13/8, all heavily backed ;)
wish id seen this info raal! i couldnt believe the odds on sijsling and it smelt very fishy but i went for it anyway ( and even tipped it with a be careful disclaimer on the other thread) for low stakes. glad i was wary as i couldve lost a fortune at a price that tempting. would love to know whats behind that result though.
Lol :-)
macca the red east coast radar inescapable,just ask swany and PenguinsJames,not even F/cast doubles safe!!
What is it with you and smurf cartoons… seriously.
Raal…Tell me from your expertise…Player to get booked today? who would u back mate?
Harpreet wait for the teams, whoever is playing defensive midfielder for Holland will get booked. De Jong probably.
Martins Indi and Demichelis.
I agree Raal, I think Demichelis is a prime candidate for a booking as I noted in my post earlier.
the next person to bully harpeet will have me to answer to and believe me you dont wanna fall out with me.lol
woooooooooo! big scary mick
Let’s go Argentina :)
Harpreet, Demischelis is playing and as we all know he’s not the fastest of players so he looks prone to be carded especially against the likes of Sneijder and Robben, it’s not a tip though aha
Raal you are credit sir I had me a bit of that! Mucho grazi
Raal you are credit sir I had me a bit of that! Mucho grazi
Raal looking forward to more tips like this ;)
tomekplnd, anything my mate gives me will appear on here, he is a betting genius on this sport and privy to info I really should not be given.
Now I got on Shaun’s double 1down again!!!!!!not been a great day for me at all!!!!!!!!!!!
Over 3.5 mg in the Toulouse match- 5/6 . Plenty of chances & attacks for both sides with Nimes winning 2-0 at h/t.
Toulouse over 3.5 mg
Lorient BTTS
1.75/1 DOUBLE (1 bet)
LOST!!! Both games finished 2-1, so 1 bet won and 1 bet was a goal out. :(
Thanks bigmick lol :-)
Raal, missed your tennis tip dammit -.- hard to get on here with a new born, ill have to pay ya to email me them haha
BG, I will email you any others I get mate.
BG, Big Mac gives you his congrats on the newborn.
Can’t see player to be booked on bet 365….Anybody know where this is or is it simply not available ??
Harpeet. Bet 365 don’t have a player to be carded market unfortuantly mate
Only first player Harpreet but if you fancy it I would take at least De Jong, Roja and DiMichelis at small level stakes safe in the knowledge that any of them get booked first and will cover the others and guarantee profit.
Just in otherwise would’ve tipped this beforehand
iceland div 4
Lumman vs Kari
Its 2-0 Kari after 45 mins
Lumman are 6th out of 7 in league and at home are P3 L3 F7 A14 so average 7 a game
Kari are top and away have a record of P2 F14 A3 so average 8.5 goals per game
anyone worried about such a small number of games to base average on then at home they average 6.5 goals per game after 4 games
over 4.5,5.0 ftg @ 1.95
Sorry Chrisemy, Toulouse were really going for it near the end as well but no goal. Try doing single pre-match bets if if you want to make things easier and build up, in-play can be hard at times. Never go crazy on a double in-play and with it being a friendly as well you’d be pushing it. All the best matey :)
Raal unbelievable work again mate . Never known anything like it in my life any sport and you know more than most about all of them . Come on Argentina
Dudes!…how F@@@@@G Americanised we have become…FFS get a grip lads.
Cheers mate, appriciate it :) who’s everyone on tonight to qualify ? I’m tempted to back argie but I might just ennjoy the game while feeding the baby lol
Always try and look for the main players and enjoy reading others opinions and mixing with my own stuff may have to get involved in some of my own to repay your wisdom
My wisdom comes free of charge ;)
Thanks Danny mate I appreciate it. Matt I’ve taken ur advice.and done all.3 :-) Who u backing matt ?
I’m backing only what I mentioned this morning Harpreet:
2nd half highest scoring
Over 3.5 cards
4+ minutes added time 2nd half
Messi and Robben fgs and ags
Despite all my research telling me no I am also being tempted by Over 10 corners, is a gut feeling. Also as I said I have backed Argentina since the start but again gut feeling is telling me Holland tonight. Hope I’m wrong.
Greg thanks for the overs, 1st half landed…
Forget about world cup, Poland Super Cup inplay
Legia Warsaw – Zawisza Bydgoszcz
Legia Warsaw to win

Respect x
Edinburgh 2-1 Raith Rovers 41 mins :)
Over 1.5 fhg 8/11 WIN :)
Not how I though this game would go but when your on goals it doesn’t matter who scores!
nice one greg, thanks
Thanks Greg mate, like to have a dabble on some of yours ;)
Thanks Greg mate, like to have a dabble on some of yours ;)
Your that good I thought I’d post the same thing twice! haha
Greg
Awesome
Two words gents, “Holland Win”. I cannot see past the Dutch who will no doubt be seeking revenge from the previous WC Final.
Holland win pays 9/4 with Coral
orbz the only bet I’ve taken is for Robben to score anytime mate. I think Argentina are weak down their left side and as we know Robben loves to cut in from Hollands right on to his left and I’m hoping he shoots on sight. :D
I tell a lie I also took Holland to score before the 69th minute.
All the best with what ever bets your on mate ;)
Evening gents,
I’ve been fairly quiet as not much to post the past few days. One I’m looking at for FHG at 9pm is in the Iceland 4th Division – niche!
Back >2.5 FHG in Lettir vs Afrika match.
Afrika are truly awful and could concede 5+ tonight. However, I’m taking first half goals in this one for a small stake.
Good write ups Mr F and others. Liking the Argies to qualify because there defense is alot more solid than the Netherlands and Messi will probably be the difference like he has been for all there games in the world cup so far. So i’m on Messi to provide an assist.
Messi to Assist a Goal 7/4
Dundonator no need for it mate.
Why do people feel the need to abuse others from behind a computer screen. Big? No! Clever? No! It is the way of the world that we meet people who annoy us day to day, do we abuse them all though? Just take them or leave them and move on.
Agree with Matt. Live and let live.
Dundanator, just give us the tips thanks.
Nice one greg many thanks
Hmmm, Hauker v Tindastoll Women U19.
Think ive bummed the bookies!
Tindastoll pre game were @ 1.9, i was hoping to wait and take them @ Evens
On 16 mins it was 0-1 and Hauker were down to 10. So i missed my opertunity … But tgey were still @ 1.57! Surely this was buying money!!! Now 0-2 :-)
All you guys on the Argies, how are your nerves holding out? Are you as confident as those backing the Germans? :)
Yes :)
You’ll be glad to know Raal I’ve thrown a couple of quid on Holland over 3.5 goals. I hope it loses so those that have backed the Germans and the Argies can have a bit of banter :)
craigyboy, I have taken over 3.5 match goals at 4/1 as an interest outwith screaming for Argentina ;)
Dundtator no comment. As per mr fix it states I’m not getting involved. Concentrate on the football – :-)
Is this going to be Messi’s World Cup? Put him up there with the likes of Pele and Maradonna, i hope so. C’mon the Argie Bargies!!!
7/4 Messi Assist
I have took chief tip on higuain at 11/4, Raal mate your mr btts I quite fancy it, do you?
dave, I do mate.
Raal thanks mate put it on 23/20 coral looks good. Cmon Argentina!!!!!
Messi wincast 5/2 for me come on lionel your time to shine
FIDDLER’S BEST BET OF THE GAME
ARGENTINA – HOLLAND
total goals/both teams to score
under 2.5 & no
10/11
yesterday’s odds 2/1 for germany win were like a gift and made me a happy person, however I couldn’t find anything as tempting today so simply decided to go with above bet, predicting a close and low scoring game.
good luck
Well can’t believe that tonight’s game will live up to last nights feast of football but here’s hoping ! As a few quid was won last night I’m playing for small stakes tonight so 2 bets only holland to win on pens @ 9/1 and a Chris guy style spectacular (in price I mean !) Ron Vlar first goal @ 66/1 :) sure ya never know :) good luck all .
IN-PLAY: Lumman v Kari
Over 5.5 goals (currently 0-3)
**LOST**
rubbish pick
Good pick that just never came in craigyboy, it happens mate.
Holland -1 goal @6/1.
For me its over 3.5 cards tonight. Plenty players on the pitch like a tough tackle and there are plenty who will make the most of them and rolling around milking it.
Good luck
Thanks again Greg
Edinburgh 2-2 Raith Rovers 54 mins :)
Over 1.5 fhg 8/11 WIN
Over 3.5 goals 8/13 WIN
Cheers gents
Tony, on Afrika mate, they are hopeless
Looking forward to your date? ;)
Muchos gracias Greg!
I hope you , the good lady and the girls are all well
Going for cards in this game , de Jong is a cert
Capone, I have done Martins Indi first booking 12-1 small stake.
Raal your opinion on Lavezzi squirting water on the Argentina manager??
all Ill say is if he done that to Fergie or Steve Bruce there would be physical repercussions.
dudes it was really funny to watch though mate!!
On as well Greg – usually reliably awful. The other game between Midas and KB also worth a look – lower goal line and last h-2-h ended up 8-1
Raal, apart from snooker and GAA in your opinion what sport in the world has the most discrimination?
Scottish Football dudes, the idiots that run it think the world begins and ends in Glasgow which is why it is a laughing stock mate.
:) :) Raal, Big Mac is not surprised. Only 1 corner in 20 mins. need 5 more
Method of first goal-free kick 16/1 lol
Method of first goal-free kick 16/1 lol
make that 4
So who does snooker discriminate against? Enlighten me!
Stephen Lee and John Higgins for match fixing ;)
Hearts going to sneak a late winner any minute now ok Raal :-)
Hope so Matt as drawing with a Scottish Premier League side these days is a touch embarrassing trust me mate ;)
Even worse losing to one!
:) :) :)
dudes, behave!!! We cannot have these discussions mate. Great having Big Mac here and do not want him banned, please.

3-0 on 41 mins.
WIN!
Would have been unjust with just two in this first half. All one way traffic!
raal -glasgow is the centre of the universe-a lovley place
CC, I like Glasgow but hate the SFA :)
raaljaca, Martins Indi first booking 12-1 WIN. Nice one.
Mr F, we both tipped him but only you backed him! I didn’t go with anything other than BTTS for small bet and Overs as I am too wrapped up in willing Argentina to win :)
And totally agree, he should be off by now as escaped a definite earlier booking Mr F.
£2,000 Argentina to win tournament 9/2
£1,000 each way Argentina to win tournament 4/1
———————————————–
And I have been getting texts telling me I am an idiot not to cover this game so I have gone £4,000 Holland to qualify 13/10 as it really does make a bit of sense since I bang on about profit being all that matters. Now watch Argentina beat them :)
Raal not guaranteed in Big Macs eyes. I do hope Messi pops up with a cracker though!!
dudes, they really need something special from him as Holland will happily play all the way, 120 min, for penalties tonight.
Raal nice move needed to be done and was going to ask you about that but you obviously know what you are doing.
Nice one Tony :)
Oh well Raal, good work out for your boys I guess
Matt they did play well by all accounts and really should have been leading but apologies mate as ‘should have’ does not win us money.
Well done on first booking mr f.
Roberto, was pissed when he escaped earlier for bad foul on Messi.
cooldude, raaljaca’s right. Email him those questions if you want but they’re not for here.
Mr f, whats Raals email?
cooldude, you’ll need to ask him to give it out.
raaljaca@hotmail.co.uk
And Martins gets the card !!well done Mr F
Good call on the first booking Mr f
Hard game to call hey…Hummm Think this will go all the way to penalties :-)
Cole isn’t even worth that dudes.
Great stuff Tony :)
No worries Raal just make sure you pick me a winner tomorrow ;-)
I will Matt.
Oh and thanks Tony
KR women over 2.5 MG 4/7- home side totally dominating and winning 1-0. Away side are top of the let able and have scored in 4 out of 5 away games so far this season.
KR over 2.5 & Grotta u19 over 1.5 mg double 1.4/1
Cheers Greg and tonyboy. Top stuff gents!!!
Anyone know how many corners there were in that first half?
4 m8
4 corners
Last 15 minutes if all square, Aguero and Maxi Rodriguez to come on and win it.
raaljaca, still looks like Argentina will edge it but helluva tight. Messi to score next at 9-2. No scorer is just 11-10.
Mr F, my big worry is that they are outplaying them almost all over the park and Holland are looking second best everywhere but unless they score the longer it goes on Holland are going to increase in confidence. I would risk Aguero and possibly Maxi Rodriguez to win it in 90 minutes.
harpreet; Raal…Tell me from your expertise…Player to get booked today? who would u back mate?
Me; Martins Indi and Demichelis.
** Hope some backed them because I didn’t! :) **
raaljaca, Demichelis was my second choice after Martins Indi.
Raal I didn’t back them :-( I backed under 2.5 goals that’s all :-)
God this game is dull!
Matt there’s the over 4+ mins time in :)
Good shout Mr F – Raal one away from the Hatrick!
Mr fixit are the buildings across to the left on the M8 west bound that say Daily Record and Sunday Times around Govan area where you work or is it a warehouse for all the papers?
Wednesbury, I’m based in city centre, building you can see from Kingston Bridge. You’re probably looking at the printworks at Cardonald.
Was on everyone off them raal ya beaute!!!
footie, did you do either for me mate? :)
Huntellaar on for persie if he’s any kind o genius and I’ll b all over it!
The most boring games that I have watched in this World Cup have all involved Argentina. Same tactic try and get Messi on the ball.
Alex, Dutch are worse than Argentina tonight.
Agree with Mr F, they have killed the game where ever possible. VG is going for penalties.
Disagree there Mr F, I haven’t seen anything positive from Argentina and not one clear cut chance for either team. You can’t accuse the Dutch of sitting back but they have stifled Argentina.
Alex, we’ll have disagree then but it’s a poor game. Argentina for me have done more and come closest to scoring.
Mr F we are entitled to do that as long as we don’t resort to name calling ;) agreed poor game.
80 mins to FT betting
It’s getting at and slippy out there
Back over 0.5 cards 5/6
Aguero the saviour! :)
I second that robroy 85
What are the odds for a Germany Argentina final
Just the same as Argentina to qualify max, 8/11 just now mate.
Love how the camera men have the knack of picking out the wee darlings in the crowd haha without fail
Tackle of the tournament from mascherano there outstanding! Would love him back with the reds!
Craig, that was indeed a brilliant tackle.
12/5 Argentina on penalties. Krul studied the Costa Rican players penalty techniques and dived the correct way for every penalty, Argentina’s players now know exactly what way he will go so will change technique and send the ball to their opposite side! Simple really.
Matt, stewards enquiry mate! Should have been 4
Over 0.5 booking lost
What a horrible game
Rubbish. At least I’ll get my goalscorer stakes refunded. I am NOT having another bet on this tournament.
What bookies offer individual player cards apart from Skybet?
tomekpind, I did it with McBookie so BetVictor had same prices. Plenty do it.
FIDDLER’S BEST BET OF THE GAME
ARGENTINA – HOLLAND
total goals/both teams to score
under 2.5 & no
10/11
yesterday’s odds 2/1 for germany win were like a gift and made me a happy person, however I couldn’t find anything as tempting today so simply decided to go with above bet, predicting a close and low scoring game.
good luck
————
BET WON :)
Crazy Greg. There were two injuries of 2 minutes each plus the substitutions.
Can anyone tell me if William Hill refund stakes on boredraw foe teamnto win and both teams to score or anytime goalscorer.
Thanks
Ally, it’s bet365 for the bore draw unless Hills doing a special offer.
Really poor game think Aguero wit his pace could make the difference in extra time
To be honest gents todays game was always going to be the poor relation after yesterday’s memorable game!
Wednesbury, I preferred this one as goals are very overrated mate ;)
Do William Hill Refund first goal scorer/anytime bets or is just if you use insure bet?
Anytime scorer yes, btts no, not sure about team to win Ally. Won’t be until tie is over either
KR women over 2.5 MG 4/7- home side totally dominating and winning 1-0. Away side are top of the let able and have scored in 4 out of 5 away games so far this season.
KR over 2.5 & Grotta u19 over 1.5 mg double 1.4/1
4/7 WINNER!!! Short price but a wins a win. :)
Finished 2-1
Betvictor/McBookie Tomekplnd
third former red on the pitch now in the shape of maxi Rodriguez, has a knack of scoring big goals might be worth a nibble at scoring here
Are Ladbrokes doing an offer where you get your money back if the game is decided on penalties? Is it only on certain types of bets?
Steven, usual markets – singles on correct scores, first scorers, scorecasts, etc.
Argentina to win on penalties as per raals advice :-)
Columbian match I will be on later for goals- Once Caldas v Fortaleza 1am
Will try and post in later with more info :)
Am I right in thinking 365 don’t refund bore draws if Ya have result + btts?
gfella, don’t think they do.
could see big vlaar goin to old trafford in the summer from villa
Johnny J, think van Gaal’s after Hummels.
Argentina to win on penalties.
acelightning, as I stand to win more from Argentina qualifying and winning the World Cup I’ll go Holland to win on pens. Keeper has never saved one in his pro career though.
Johnny J good call on big Ron Vlaar if that was the case I would fear for their premiership status next season!
I to am on Argentina to win the world cup raaljaca as long as they go through that’s all that counts!!!!
Johnny J, Vlarr can’t take penalties though!!!!!!
Wednesbury, happy enough with that but it’s got to be Germany now.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
– Thank you Raal ££££££££££
Ron Vlar first penalty . Jesus Christ van gals that a bloody master stroke that :(
C’mon the argies
Rubbish semi none of them deserved to be in the final hopefully germany do a brazil on argentina
Mr fixit surely you are not going to back against your pre tournament tip?
Wednesbury, of course I am. Germany have been the better team and I’ve been tipping them on the site since they beat France. You have to be prepared to change your opinion with the benefit of games.
Good luck Mr Fixit and goodnight
If there’s any justice in football Germany will smash Argentina more than 7-1. I was hoping Holland got through in the end purely because if they’d have won in the final as a man who’s backed Germany I’d have accepted it more. Argentina will be the worst team to win a World Cup ever! They’ve been boring and I know they are going to turn the final into a borefest. I sincerely hope Germany give them a good old Brazilian style beating!
Come on you German’s!
Ditto m8 if argentina win this it will be a travesty
Will keep an eye out for your tips Shaun!
Cheers Mr f. For anyone interested, Germany Holland double pays 5.75/1. That looks too good to pass up. Argentina may have made it this far but they have been 99% boring and 1% messi. I don’t think they’ll get away with that against a well organised German team who have strength in all areas. Neuer is a machine and their attacking midfield will surely rip the argies apart. The other match imo could be a closer affair with Brazil trying to restore some pride and a day’s less rest for holland but I can’t pass up on 2/1 for the holland win. A safer bet might be to qualify in case they try boring Brazil into submission but as it’s my last main bet of the competition I’m going for the straight up double. Good luck all!
gfella, don’t think I’ll be doing much on the third-place match. Brazil will be trying to win back some pride and can’t see the Dutch being too bothered.
Once caldas match- just got on over 2.5 mg at 1/1 & btts 10/11
It was nice to win money and not sweat about it. I even made more money by backing the Germans to score before 70mins after the first goal and again after the 5th goal. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough for the goals in between ;)
On to tonight then. I was very tempted before the semi’s to take the Germany v Argentina final at 5/2. My initial thought was Argentina would find a way through. Now I’m not so sure. I’ve evaluated the Costa Rica v Holland game and compared that to the Dutch games against Spain, Australia and Chile. Holland love to be attacked and then hit on the counter. I’m sure Argentina have done the same and will be wary about leaving spaces open for Holland to exploit like they did against Spain and also what Germany did to Brazil last night. The game last night hasn’t changed my perspective on the outcome of this match and I think it will be two teams that will go out ‘not to lose’.
I’m undecided on who will actually go through to the final. For me its too tight to call compared to last night. I have a feeling this could be a bit of a chess match.
As I won big last night I’m putting shrapnel on this game for interest. I’m kind of hoping for extra time just to help my pick Germany a bit more in the final. I’ll probably have a couple of quid accumulator for interest with some of the following:
Picks:
Draw 9/4 – Various
Under 2.5 goals – 8/13 – Skybet
Over 3.5 match cards – 5/4 – Bet365
– Referee has booked 9 players in his previous 2 WC games so surely worth a punt
1st half injury time – 1min – 11/10 – Bet365
Holland to win on pens – 11/1 – Bet365
Good Luck anyone having a bet! I’m keeping it small in the hope Germany can win big for me on Sunday :)
