worldcuptrophy

FIRST up on Tuesday it's Belgium v Algeria and it will be interesting to see if the winners of Scotland's qualifying group live up to the hype.

Some people (not me) have talked them up as potential winners but in a European sense I don't put them in the same bracket as Germany, Holland or even France.

However, they are a decent side and with attacking football lighting Brazil 2014 hopefully Belgium provide more thrills and spills.

They are no bigger than 8-15 at Coral to beat Algeria but should do so with something to spare against an African outfit who arrive with low expectations.

Algeria didn't score a goal in South Africa four years ago and struggled through qualifying on away goals in a play-off against Burkina Faso.

They have a couple of decent players, such as Valencia's Sofiane Feghouli and Inter's Saphir Taider, but lack quality at the back where the likes of ex-Rangers defender Madjid Bougherra could play a part.

Belgium are star-studded and I expect them to top Group H. Back them to put down a marker with a win by at least two goals and minus one they are 11-8 at Skybet.

First-scorer favourite is Everton's Romelu Lukaku who is worth a look at 4-1 with Coral. Another player with a chance is Eden Hazard who is 6-1 at Paddy Power. Lukaku has scored six goals in his last eight internationals. Hazard is 5-2 with Betfred to be named official man of the match by a Twitter vote and is likely to win it if he shows some flicks and tricks.

For those backing both to score easyodds warn the Belgians success in qualifying was built on a solid defensive unit with Marc Wilmot's team only conceded four goals en route to the tournament, a record bettered only by Spain.

Algeria have failed to score in their last five World Cup games and according to easyodds the favourites to win to nil pays 6-4 at Betfred.

Easyodds point out Belgium were the biggest movers in the outright World Cup betting market leading up to the start of the tournament.

Immediately after the 2010 tournament the Belgians were priced at 250-1 and are now best odds of 25-1 with bet365 and eighth favourites.

The late tie could decided second place and is likely to be more cagey than most of the matches we've enjoyed. The Koreans haven't built on their 2002 semi-final appearance while Russia have generally disappointed in finals.

Under Fabio Capello they will be strong in defence and tough to beat and best bet could be a 1-0 Russia win at 13-2 with Ladbrokes. For first scorer I'll be looking at Dinamo Moscow's Aleksandr Kokorin at 6-1 (various) – and he looks as if he has a great future.

    First post on here, but some people have some really great tips. Only been betting about a year, but for me Belgium to win to nil at 23-20 (William Hill) with the likes of Courtois and Kompany seems ridiculous!

  2. bewolf 10 years ago

    Lukaku to score first 4/1 @bet365 gl

  3. Gianni 10 years ago

    Yeah, I’ll be on that. Belgium -1

    What are everybody’s thoughts on Belgium Algeria btts?

    • macca the red 10 years ago

      algeria are terrible can’t see them scoring in the tournament

  7. Chef N 10 years ago

    pspud a nice double for tomorrow night might be
    Brazil win and Belgium score over 1.5 team goals evens
    add Holland win against Australia for 6/4

  8. Rick 10 years ago

    Mr wixi. wouldn’t rely on algeria scoring.stick with maybe belgium to nil or -1

  9. Stagger 10 years ago

    MrWixi, even though in their last six matches (3 friendlies, 3 qualifiers) Algeria have found the net in every game (11 goals scored in total) I am reluctant to back btts against a good Belgium defence. At the same time, voting ‘no’ could go down at any time of course with an Algerian penalty, Belgian own goal etc. It’s been a tournament rich with btts-yes results and I think that’s why prior to yesterday’s kick-offs the bookies had had enough. Example : a btts-yes treble on yesterday’s games paid 7/1 on the Ladbrokes shop coupon (of course coupon odds do fluctuate, we know). At about 1pm when I went in, the in-shop price of that same treble had dropped to below fours. I don’t believe punters alone had generated such a fall in odds, more like Bookies panicking thinking every team yet to play will score, and we all know what happened yesterday with only half the teams finding paydirt. So I’m gonna steer clear of the Belgian game altogether and vote yes on the other two, currently paying just under 3’s.

  10. Lord Clegg 10 years ago

    Yesterdays results proved to me the African teams are rubbish. Todays bet is all about 2-0’s- wins for Brazil- Russia and Belgium in a £1 trixie.

  11. Simon 10 years ago

    What do you guys think of Belgium -1, Brazil win, Russia v Korea btts at 4-1?

  12. Richard Hughes 10 years ago

    Does anyone know where to find the Win to nil prices on either William Hills, Ladbrokes, or PP sites ? I fancy a win to nil treble on Brazil, Belgium, and Russia and can’t find them anywhere….

    I have a 12 team Acca. 7 of those teams have already come in.
    I’m waiting on…
    BAZIL v Mexico
    RUSSIA v South Korea
    Australia v HOLLAND
    SPAIN v chile
    BELGIUM v Algeria

    Any games I should be weary about? Offering me a cash out of 34 quid ATM

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Odd Job bob, Russia and Spain are worth worrying about – and I’m not backing Spain after what I saw against Holland. I’d cash out or look again if Russia win but only you can make that decision and you don’t tell us what the line pays.

  16. lee cunliffe 10 years ago

    nice little treble enhanced by Coral, Belgium, Brazil and Russia all to win 3.3/1 max £20 bet but that will do for me and with coral also offering John B racing Nap Torondo at a best Price 2/1 again max bet £20 then today could be another profitable day Good Luck

  17. Gianni 10 years ago

    Good morning. Just missed out on Russia (4/5) @ Evens so decided to put them on a Double with Belgium (1/3) @ 1.4/1

  18. Damo 10 years ago

    Have to agree Mr F, whislt you would expect them to qualify I have reservations about how much further they will go. Looking forward to see how they cope with the dark horse expectations.

    So far I’ve been far more impressed with the top European sides than the South Americans. Colombia were exciting to watch though and should provide some entartining games.
    Really hoping Chile get a result against Spain on Wedndesday though!

    • Alex 10 years ago

      Damo- The odds for a Chile win and btts are breathtaking@17/2!! Chile are not that bad and Spain are certainly not that good. I do not buy any of this rubbish from the pundits that it was a wake up call. Spain in my opinion are a team that has already peaked. They sit at the top of the Fifa rankings by virtue of their recent success. A few quid on the above might not be such a bet.

    • Damo 10 years ago

      They are certainly tempting odds!

      My ante post bet was Bosnia and Chile to qualify at 9/4 as I felt before the tounrament started that Chile could take points off Spain and Holland. I’ve got a longshot of Chile to top the group Spain second but Holland have blown that out the water!

      I posted this on the night of the Holland V Spain match but these odds have long gone,

      Chile V Spain (wed 18th)
      Btts 1/1
      Overs 43/40
      Btts and overs 6/4

      Im not getting carried away by Hollands result as Spain have just lost the plot after they went behind but these must represent a good shout now.

    • Ad 10 years ago

      Spain got taken apart by a ruthless Dutch side and their world class players. But they have essentially the same squad theyve won the last three competitions with plus diego costa, none of whom are really past their prime, and with the players they have they are more than capable of bouncing back. Chile only just limped over the line against a talentless Australian side. They couldnt cope at all with 34 year old tim Cahill or Australias quick but limited wingers. I think spain will make changes and win this. Will be on Ramos anytime as he loves to attack corners and Chile can’t defend in the air. Spain/ England to qualify double looks good to me too.

  19. Alan 10 years ago

    Morning all. I’ve just done Belgium -1 + Brazil to win and concede. Double pays just over 4/1 @ Paddy Power.

  22. Cormac 10 years ago

    Have been following the site for couple of years now but rarely post.
    Since start of world cup I’ve been betting on under 5.5 throw in first 10 mins of a game. I’ve won every time (6 in a row) and now the market is unavailable on my bet365 for any of today’s matches. Does anyone know why?

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Cormac, probably because you have won 6 in a row. Bookies will simply withdraw a market if it’s so one-sided. Just read the Racing Post an interesting comments from bet365‘s Steve Freeth about how disastrous the World Cup has been for them and the measures they are taking to stem the tide. Bet365 say Sunday when three well-backed favourites – Switzerland, France and Argentina all won was their worse trading day in history. He also said he didn’t expect punters to feel sorry for them. Do we – of course we don’t.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Mr F, I can see them losing very heavily if punters stick to singles and doubles as the competition goes on.

  23. Panikos 10 years ago

    Hi guys

    Best bet for me today is Algeria + 1.5
    Mexico + 1.5

    Double pays 3.5 with bet 365

  24. raaljaca 10 years ago

    BELGIUM v ALGERIA 17.00

    BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE 11/10 (Boylesports)

    On the basis that I rate Algeria as a decent attacking side I see this game, still priced odds against, as another good bet for both scoring. Already tipped it at 13/8 about a week ago but at 11/10 it is still well worth getting involved with.

  25. raaljaca 10 years ago

    Really disappointed with Ghana as I backed them to qualify. Hopefully they can salvage something from the last 2 games. On the bright side the 4 game 18/1+ both to score bet rolls on. Apologies for posting last nights as third of 4 as it was second of four but I had given a few guys a separate 4 fold by email that was a combination of these plus the Swiss match and is 3 from 4 and also waiting on Belgium v Algeria.

  26. Damo 10 years ago

    Raal what was the fourth game of your original four fold again mate? Going to get on it now.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Damo, the 4 fold I posted before the World Cup started was;

      IVORY COAST v JAPAN

      GHANA v USA

      BELGIUM v ALGERIA

      COLOMBIA v IVORY COAST

      It paid 18.3/1

      I did a second 4 fold with SWITZERLAND v ECUADOR in place of the COLOMBIA v IVORY COAST and also had a 5fold of my own. I have cashed in the original one and covered the other one waiting on Belgium tonight but let the 5fold run.

    • Damo 10 years ago

      Ah cheers, jumped on the Colombia game btts few days ago! Good luck!

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      raaljaca, it’s up to you what you did – I was just saying I had no info about emails. I’d rather people didn’t put their personal emails up here because they could be inundated by all sorts.

  28. Chris Guy 10 years ago

    Can’t see any man of the match betting on the Betfred website. Is this available online or was it in the shop? 5/2 is a decent price for Hazard as he’s only 5/4 with Bet365. If I can get him at 5/2 I will be backing him and also as a side bet I will back Vincent Kompany for mon. According to oddschecker he’s one of the top ten bets that punters are putting on. This may have something to do with the massive price difference. Kompany is 7/2 with Bet365, 11/2 with 888 Sport and is 16/1 with Sportingbet. Worth £5 of anybody’s money.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Chris, I saw the 5-2 online last night but could have gone. The bet365 guy was moaning about this market today and saying how predictable it was – but people on this site know that since it’s been talked about since the tournament started. Messi, for example, was a cert for me no matter how he played just because he’s so popular. Ronaldo would have won too if Portugal had got a result. Tonight it’s Neymar in the Brazil game even if he places like Naismith!

  29. Bluemooner 10 years ago

    Raal … did u send those 2nd roll ups on request? Just, I nvr got1. U still have my email don’t ya mate?
    Its just I wldnt wanna miss out on 1 of ur tips, as I am a great follower of yours as u know! Lol

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Bluemooner, I do mate but it was only a couple of emails that asked about them and I put up 4, no more than a chat mate.

  30. Alex 10 years ago

    Raal, I posted that I was getting a little nervous before the game with how good the USA were. Thankfuly I punted some money on the USA win and btts 5-1 and btts and overs, which more than covered my stakes in the other bets and saw me in profit. Given that we have had only one dodgy draw its worth covering in this way. I’m already on your btts as a single. My further bets are:

    Btts & Belgium win 2-1
    Belgium win and over 2.5 @ evens

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Alex, good going mate. I have never doubted the USA’s ability and anyone coached by Klinsmann deserves respect but I just thought Ghana would prove a very decent side. I posted after the African Nations that I believed within 12-16 years Ghana would be the first African side to win the World Cup and I still believe it possible. To me they are the African equivalent of the Netherlands in that they have poured money into football at grass root level and are producing some fantastic young players and sides.

  31. Troy 10 years ago

    Alex – Where’s your pic gone mate?
    Does anyone fancy South Korea to beat Russia tonight? I know Mr F doesn’t

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Troy, I’ve gone Russia to narrowly win but I’m not convinced by either team. Could easily be a draw but I don’t think South Korea are good enough going forward to seriously threaten a solid Russian defence.

    • Alex 10 years ago

      I’m a different Alex, from the big smoke Troy ;)

  32. Mr Zakubi 10 years ago

    Never posted Tips but here are my selections for today.
    1. Brazil vs Mexico 28 meeting brazil winning 13 and mexico 8 and the other 3 draws. Brazil to win

    2. Russia vs Korea. Russia unbeated in more that 8 games and Korea loosing 3 of their last 5 games. Will take Russia.

    3. Belgium vs Algeria . No reasons why I will take and over 2.5 but know that they have quality playes and they are up against an african side that has weak defence, Hazard and Lukakakaka!!!! should bang a couple of goals. Over 2.5

    4. American Cup, DC United to also win and goals will be galore in these 2 encounters. So both American cup games should see over 2.5.

    Halakashaaaa lets makes some money.

  33. Chris Guy 10 years ago

    Paul I think that’s rather unusual though that hey go by a twitter vote whereas the likes of Ladbrokes etc is by Fifa mom. I got Benzema the other day at 7/2 and as you say all they have to score is one to be in contention.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Chris, the official FIFA mom is voted for on twitter and that’s what Ladbrokes are going with too.

  34. Chris Guy 10 years ago

    Bet365 have cut Hazard to evs which is ridiculous for mom. Anything could happen, he could be sent off or even injured after a few secs. Don’t think you will get many people biting at evs

  35. Chris Guy 10 years ago

    Neymar mom is 1/2

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Chris, hope all is well mate. Did you think the Nigeria game last night looked ‘questionable’? Think we can use that term ;)

  36. raaljaca 10 years ago

    Second stage matches are well worth looking at from the ‘lose and you go home’ point of view. Any side losing their first match are almost certainly going to need a goal at this stage and it is well worth looking at outsiders chances of scoring although the BTTS odds will no doubt reflect this.

  37. Oor man in Napoli 10 years ago

    Algeria danger men are Ghoulam/Feghouli/Slimani. Taider – had an imbalanced season at Inter but will need to protect their left side as Algeria will no doubt use Ghoulam to sprint down the left side and cutting in for Feg Slim..Ghoulam is pacey and good at providing accurate balls(and he has a stinging long range shot)
    I really cant say whether Algeria can score, but on the counter they have a medium chance.

    Belgium are as good as Netherlands and France, the hype is made from the fact most play in the EPL –
    The Belgium problem is finding the performances from their club level to transmit to international level- tricky but they do look a united side – a good start.
    Belgium are going to be tricky with Hazard and Mertens trying to stretch this defence, I think it will be too much for Algeria especially the central defenders..

    Algeria have players at Inter/Valencia/Getafe/Sporting Lisbon/Spurs/Napoli/Reims/ so its not a complete walkover, but Algeria lack overall quality to trouble the red devils.

    Belgium to win and score a couple at least for me and Algeria could score but will avoid ‘to nil’ and ‘btts’ for lack of confidence.
    ____

    Russia is an interesting one. Capello has a good record with most of his teams, even with the England team. When Arrigo Sacchi left AC after winning back to back European cups – that AC side that was a superforward juggernaut of goalsgoalsgoals to Capello – the first thing he did was to bring everything back into line /defensive/ controlled. Same with Roma – built from defence.
    Not watched Russia but I am expecting another team built from defence to win. Not watched them play, but have checked the stats and I think the odds are good especially since Korea fell below Iran in the qualies and lost both games to them…Russia look to have more quality – even with the loss of their captain so I am on a WIN 4/5

  38. raaljaca 10 years ago

  41. Chris Guy 10 years ago

    I’m not sure about the Nigeria game to be honest but if I had placed a bet on the match it would have def been an unders bet. Many websites including the bet rescue had tipped a bore 0-0 result. On paper Nigeria should have one but were very disappointing.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Chris, every time a result doesn’t go their way people say it was dodgy. We knew before the tournament started that Iran would defend in numbers. The game went pretty much as expected except Nigeria were poor and missed any chances that came their way. I tipped 1-0 Nigeria so it wasn’t far away.

  54. RabTheHermit 10 years ago

    Brazil v Mexico, Brazil and BTTS @ 19/10

    I think most people will be having some sort of bet on Brazil today as they look the most likely of the 6 teams in action today to take all 3 points- Belgium and Russia should too but for me not as much confidence. The straight win is too small and the -1 handicap is just under evens so I’ve decided to go with whether I think Mexico can score or not. For Brazil the win to nil or with with BTTS are both over evens. Judging from the first set of games I think Mexico can score tonight. They created some good chances against Cameroon and I think they can get a couple of chances against Brazil. Brazil looked less than convincing at the back against Croatia. At 2:1 to Brazil the Croatians could have and maybe should have gotten level were it not for some questionable refereeing- something the Mexicans know about too. I think Mexico can score and Brazil will win so taking Brazil with BTTS today.

    Never thought that I would bet the unders in a Philippines match, but today the top 2 defences meet who concede only 1 goal per game on avg. so will take a small bet on under 3.5. The previous two meetings finished 1:0 and 1:2.

    Kaya – Global Under 3.5 @ 2.18

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Wyorkie, it looks a possibility mate but I won’t be on it as there are simply better looking games coming up. The last 6 games between Brazil and Mexico have seen both to score only twice and that alone just makes me want to watch it rather than back it.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Just to add mate that Rab the Hermit points out a bigger priced possibility if both to score did land.

    Mr F” Bet365 say Sunday when three well-backed favourites – Switzerland, France and Argentina all won was their worse trading day in history”. All winner till then and full pot for BTTS and Scorers.
    So many bookies specials have paid out first goal/to score and win. When i go to will shops the goals/BTTS have been cut by half.

    So any thought the bookies juice has went up and value tight to find, we need to find outsiders and under to get value. All games now are odds on and got to be some last leg games with no fight or second string teams ?

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      GaryEdinburgh, the value is now in unders and no to btts. Bookies took the opinion – quite rightly – that first-round games would be low scoring and almost every btts was above evens. They’ve had to adjust those prices but there’s no doubt they have taken a hammering so far.

  60. Cattack 10 years ago

    The bubble well and truely burst yesterday with Ghana/Nigeria taking to the pitch in their marshmallow boots and Pepe going insane (again). Such is life so it’s onwards and hopefully upwards today with a small stakes double of

    Belgium -1
    Russia to win

    It did pay 6/1 when I took it down to 3/1 now. A good sign I hope. Good luck everyone.

    Belgium v Algeria

    So my main tips are BTTS and also on side of Algeria or Draw double chance.

    This group H is the most open of and the Bookies, fans and media have over hyped Belgium imho with the cliche of dark horses .

    USA , Algeria and Costa Rica have not be credited by anyone and yet 2 of the 3 have won as i predicted.

    So my third prediction is on Algeria or draw
    They are firstly more suited to the conditions than the european counterparts though of course alot of players play over europe in fact all 23 are based in different leagues.
    I think they will adapt to climate far better.

    The algerias adopt a flexible 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and thats the key to this match.

    Valencia’s Sofiane Feghouli is the penalty taker and plays on the wide of the front 3 . The majority of play will pass through Feghouli as a creative outlet. He gets ball in to….Slimani and Soudani

    Goals can defo come by Slimani the focal striker and sporting lisbon main man and Hilal Soudani who contributes – This chap averages a goal every other game at international level.

    Now i like the idea of Algeria exploiting Belgium weakest area – Belguim full backs. Vertghen is a constant liability out there and alderwiereld is past his best and ageing . I can see fouling and both being defensively fragile. Wing play is emphasized to make most of strengths

    Which is also good news for the free kicks and set pieces taken by the excellent taider from inter milan.

    For those not fam Taider is a box to box midfielder and scored 3 in 7 games all coming from late runs into the box. Theres a lot of energy from him and the algerias over all who also like to keep the ball

    Now England drew 0-0 four years ago and Belgium could similarly underestimate the Algerians today

    My VALUE picks are

    Algeria
    ANYTIMERS
    FEGHOULI -19/5 PEN TAKER
    TAIDER – direct free kick taker and gets in the box – 19/5
    SOUDANI -2 OR MORE 25/1 great arial prowress and goal contriutor
    SILMANI-2 OR MORE 25/1

    BTTS for sure !! and

    ALGERIA OR DRAW 9/5 for me they are more than capable of getting a result

    My final point has to be the coaches. Wilmots stifles Belgium and has not the tactical nous to go far. Granted there are some talents but they as good as an england generation and arent anything like a france or spain .

    The bosnia coach Vahid Halilhodžić has great football principles and tactics and has the right strategies and experience to deal with belguim. He understands how to get results and with this algeria team has got a mix of youth and experience to surprise many.

    I ve shared my thoughts GOOD LUCK

    • Oor man in Napoli 10 years ago

      Golden, I see the Belgium weakness in the same space for Algeria to attack – down the wings. Ghoulam is the better of the two and Taider(who has not really broken into that inter side at all this season) I think will be the one drifting into his spot if he is on his express train. They can exploit the Belgium left. The problem is, that will also commit a weakness for themselves..and Mertens will be running at this side, and Mertens knows Ghoulam well as they are team mates at Napoli ,so Belgium could equally exploit this. (though I think Belgium will take the Algerian centre right as Ghoulam is the best of that back four.

      Should be an interesting game.

  63. Recoba1980 10 years ago

    Was having a look at Kokirin Mr F this morning in the racing post pullout. Kerzakhov for me misses to many chances and his goals to games ratio is poor.

    Also like Hong Son Min for South Korea who had a great run for Bayer Leverkuesen in last 1/3 of the season…to Kiesslings demise,dont think the Germans be regretting that descision now but.

    Got $2 on Muller/Argentina and Muller/Germany at odds 150/ and 50/1 yesterday… Good start wae Mullér :P

    Lakaku to score anytime 10/11 William hill

  65. Chris Guy 10 years ago

    Troy I wouldn’t be touching Lakuka at 7/1 for first goal in 1-20 mins. That’s def too skinny, I’d advise you to back Neymar for Brazil in the same market. He is also 7/1 so when you compare the both then yes it’s too skinny. Don’t let that put you off though if you’re going to back him. Instead I’d back the other guy that Mr Fixit and others are tipping but again I wouldn’t touch a 1-20 min scorer for this match

  66. Renegadepro 10 years ago

    Hi Guys,

    Just a heads up that paddypower is offering new customers a 10/1 treble tonight – Brazil / Belgium / Russia all to win.

    This is massive compared to roughly 3/1 for existing customers.

    The only downside is that the maximum bet is a tenner.

  67. Jonhoggy 10 years ago

    Reckon Hazard will get an assist ?
    Hazard 11/4 anytime assist with Ladbrokes under World Cup Specials/Breaking Bets.

  68. Jonhoggy 10 years ago

    Sorry Hazard 9/4 not 11/4.

  69. Stefano marsh 10 years ago

    PP doing a treb that pays 5-2 and they are offering 7-1.Its on the midweek accs coupon called awaits last 16. Brazil,holland and Colombia to win their next matches,thought it was too good to be true but got a ton on it,don’t want to be too greedy with them just in case,but it’s still available.

  71. Fitba Tips 10 years ago

    Howdy Folks

    Keeping it simple today. Was tempted by handicaps and WTN’s but just going for straight victories and I think all three favs are very capable of them. Sticking to a double and single though, trebles are foor people with bigger cahones than I.

    I am slightly miffed that I missed a bit of value on Russia but hey ho.

    RUSSIA v Korea Republic @ 1.85
    Belgium, Brazil @ 1.86

  72. Rowen 10 years ago

    Johnboy, why did you go for the overs mate? The fact that it’s the Philippines doesn’t mean it’s going to be always an over! :D These two teams are the two best defences, who concede only 1 goal per game on average, I personally went for under 3.5, as it seemed good value, given the record of both teams and the previous 2 meetings this season, which both went under.

  73. Renegadepro 10 years ago

    I’ve been having some luck since the World Cup started with the overs markets and today I think there’s value in the Belgium Game with Over 3.5 goals.

    There’s a lot of hype surrounding how god Belgium will do and how bad Algeria will be, so I’m thinking that Over 3.5 match goals at 6/4 has to be worth a few quid.

    I’m also going to try two trebles:

    Belgium Over 2.5 match goals – 4/7
    Brazil Over 2.5 match goals – 8/15
    Russia Over 1.5 match goals – 1/3

    Treble pays 3/1

    And a more risky:

    Belgium Over 3.5 match goals – 6/4
    Brazil Over 3.5 match goals – 5/4
    Russia Over 2.5 match goals – 11/10

    Treble pays 11/1

    Not tips but so far money has been good with the Overs markets on most matches.

  74. Fitba Tips 10 years ago

    Also…

    In a bit of a battle with Betfair over a “free bet” that they have termed as a “full refund”.

    A refund is a refund, right? I will be happy to take the free bet on the proviso that should it win I get the stake too.

    Anyone willing to give a price on me winning?

    :/

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

    Ivory coast match over 2,5
    Russia match over 2,5

    ??

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      misafir, I’ve tipped Belgium -1, not that keen on overs in Russia game and Ivory Coast game is one I haven’t looked at yet.

    Thanks to one of my three free bets (courtesy of backing Muller for top goal scorer) because of his three goals I am staking a £5 free bet on Lukaku and Hazard to both scorer at 9/2 today on their specials.

    Other bets today are
    Belgium
    Brazil
    Holland

    pays over evens in the gambling world and a great price.

    @2.4/1 get on it Mr F Fans..!!

  83. Yesevil 10 years ago

    Surely steal of the day has to be Belgium to win both halves, 2/1 on bet365

  84. scotty3456 10 years ago

    Raaljaca do think Algeria have enough upfront too score

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      scotty3456, raaljaca is big on btts so obviously he thinks Algeria will score.

    • macca the red 10 years ago

      as a tipster you should be putting him right,algeria to score tonight you couldn’t make it up lol

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Scotty, as Mr F points out I strongly fancied the BTTS mate. Algeria have improved in the last 4 years and have players from Inter Milan, Tottenham and Valencia in their side. They have also scored in the last 13 matches they have played and although the opposition will not be ‘Belgium’ class it shows they are a side geared up to attack. Belgium will look to outscore them obviously and again scoring 2 or 3 will be enough even if they concede.

    • macca the red 10 years ago

      algeria won’t score tonight are you nuts man they have not really played anyone of belgiums calibar they play the like of burkino faso.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      macca, 8/11 for one or both not to score mate so you get every penny you have on it if you are confident.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      macca, Algeria have scored seven in their last 3 against Romania, Armenia and Slovenia. They may or may not score but backing them to do so isn’t nuts – it’s just a prediction.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Thank you Mr F, my sanity is not up for discussion on here :)

    • macca the red 10 years ago

      not saying your insane raal just saying its not a game i would encourage anyone to take btts unless its a vanity trip.i would’t take algeria to score in the comp never mind in a game.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      macca, as raaljaca says if you’re confident back Belgium to win to nil or no to btts or even no Algeria goals in the tournament. RFO’s only tip on the game is btts so raaljaca’s not the only one who likes it.

    • macca the red 10 years ago

      algeria in reality won’t get past the half way line never mind score beating romania etc were not competitive games. I’m not on both to score but raaljaca’s record with these are good and any team can score at the end of the day – look at Australia for example … and even England.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      macca, you’re being pretty disrespectful to Algeria – let’s see how it goes.

    • macca the red 10 years ago

      some is impersonating me lol taking btts in algeria game is nonsense or doesn’t make sense even,mr f i am not been disrespectful to algeria its fact they are way out of their league in this comp.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      They will most likely cross the half way line when they kick off but let us all wait and see :)

  85. Rowen 10 years ago

    Never thought that I would bet the unders in a Philippines match, but today the top 2 defences meet who concede only 1 goal per game on avg. so will take a small bet on under 3.5. The previous two meetings finished 1:0 and 1:2.

    Kaya – Global Under 3.5 @ 2.18

    0:3 FT
    **BET WON**

  86. HenryH 10 years ago

    I totally agree with you Lord Clegg the African teams are “rubbish”. However maybe I have missed some of their team composition and results but I don’t think any of them came into the competition as current world champions, nor boast of the current world best player, nor lose by a margin of 4 goals.

    The competition is called the World Cup using the non-American definition of the word ‘world’. So yes I agree with you, maybe there should be another competition started where these “African rubbish teams” are excluded and call it the European Championships but I think we will find someone has already beaten us to it.

    In addition well, apparently according to most impartial observers, the last World Cup final was deemed to be the most “rubbish” in living history but thankfully it was not contested by the rubbish African teams.

    But on a positive note I hope you see their inclusion as a wonderful opportunity to make loads of cash and don’t bite the finger that feed you.

  87. raaljaca 10 years ago

    Fellaini doesn’t start.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      raaljaca, no surprise there. It’s Hazard or Lukaku for first goal for me and Belgium -1. A 3-1 win would suit us all.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Fingers crossed for all these combinations Mr F.

  88. raaljaca 10 years ago

  89. Tonyboy 10 years ago

    I would echo what Raal says here. Belgium are an attacking and young side, however they recently conceded one to Luxemburg and that is all we need again here! :)

    Nothing from me today unless Dainava match comes in play @ 5pm.

    • Titou 10 years ago

      To be fair to Belgium that goal they conceded vs Luxembourg was a great strike

  90. Darren 10 years ago

    Looking for a decent little bet for a bit of interest in the Brazil game and I quite fancy Dos Santos to grab a goal for Mexico. Played well in the opening game against Cameroon and should of had 2 goals. He’s had a cracking season and he’ll get in to good positions.

    Dos Santos to score anytime and Brazil to win 8/1 William Hill

  91. Krish 10 years ago

    Guys, any advice on covering 1st goal scorer?
    I have a Yankee waiting for neymar to score 1st and van Persie to score 1st.

    I will get £12 back if none of the 2 come in, over 60 if any one comes in and 230 if both come in.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Krish, you can’t really cover it – but look to see if there is an offer if Neymar scores first.

  92. Bal1986 10 years ago

    Macca Uruguay score was an upset of the tournament just now wouldn’t surprise me if Algeria do score I do have Belgium -1 and Belgium in another coupon looking at there line up and subs there players are contracted to strong teams bal1986

  93. Damo 10 years ago

    Yesterday was the first so so day I would say. Doubled overs in Germany with raals btts in USA game but other than that (and johnbs nap! :) ) not great! PEPE ya tit!

    Nothing I fancy too much today, I’ve taken the enhanced treble as it SHOULD win but I’ve got a feeling there will be one draw out of the three games. On Raals btts as well, conditions must surely favour Algeria. Good luck people, and one thing I would add is as much as we know Belgium are a good side what do we really know what Algeria will be capable of? 1/3 for Belgium I would say is poor value unless you are really clued up about the Algerians.

    • Damo 10 years ago

      *I should add, unless you are really clued up about Algeria and still feel it is a good price. I don’t know enough about them to risk a wedge on Belgium at that price myself.

  94. raaljaca 10 years ago

    All I will say is before the comp I put this up at 13/8 as a both to score. I am saying Algeria can either draw 1-1 or lose 10-1 it wont matter but in 90 minutes of football in the heat I just think it possible they can score a goal and concede a goal and the bet wins. If they don’t score then so be it as sooner or later a both to score will not come in but money wise it has been great so far.

    • macca the red 10 years ago

      @raal i wasn’thaving a go or nothing but if you seen last nights game iran v nigeria then algeria are in the same bracket as these two.nigeria had ex prem players and co but none of them could score.

  95. Krish 10 years ago

    Mr F, if neymar scores 1st I would win decent amount. I am confident he will score tonight. I am thinking of putting few quids on neymar anytime scorer. My Yankee is w bet victor who don’t do e/w so if he scores 2nd. It’s of no use to me.

  96. Greg Browning 10 years ago

    Afternoon gents, didn’t realise today’s thread was under Group H betting, would have posted earlier otherwise!

    Two bets for me tonight!

    Russia 17/0
    Russia over 1.5 teams goals 1/1

  97. Mark Mc 10 years ago

    Yesterday was a good day. Germany at Evens, Nigeria game under 10 corners 3/4 and both teams to score Ghana v USA 5/6.

    Little less complicated tonight. 2 big singles on Belgium and Brazil. Got 4/9 Belgium and 2/5 for Brazil. Yesterday was about good value, today we just build the pot by a few hundred.

  98. raaljaca 10 years ago

    Greg, Russia to win 17-0 looks a good shout ;)

  99. Damo 10 years ago

    Rail the more I look at it the more I’might convinced Belgium will concede. Conditions don’t favour them, and I’ve a feeling the weight of expectation might tell a bit. Algeria seem to be able to find the net regularly as well. Here’s hoping.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Damo, if they are like Nigeria or Cameroon we have no chance but this side is decent and the coach has rebuilt since the last World Cup.

  100. CatNapper 10 years ago

    Just had a £5 free bet on all 3 of today’s matches being btts in favour of Belgium, Russia and Brazil.

    Teams seem to be playing with an awful lot of pride and doing their utmost to bang one in.

    The btts killer though is the stupid needless sending off (Honduras and Portugal so far).

    Am keeping fingers crossed the goals continue so one of my more preposterous btts and win accumulators come in.

    Think FIFA should introduce a new innovation for the play actors like Muller and the French dude who rolled around from Costa’s feeble head but.

    They should simply send the players mum on to kiss him better. Don’t need no physio.

  103. chrisk 10 years ago
  104. Sean Ireland 10 years ago

    Promised myself after yesterdays fiasco involving African teams to never back them in any capacity again so im going with the stats and form and backing Belgium to be winning at H/T-F/T at around Evens…decent value when you consider Belgium have scored a first half goal in seven of their ten qualifiers and Algerias defence should have major problems when you see that they failed to keep a clean sheet against the likes of Burkina Faso {3 goals} Guinea {2 goals} Benin {1 goal in each of 2 meetings} and Togo {2 goals}
    Also worth noting those of you backing them to score Belgium have a very solid defence coceding just 4 times in 10 qualifiers and Algeria havent scored a single goal in last 5 world cup games, Belgium to win to Nil looks good value @ 5/4 and to win on the -1 handicap at evens.

  105. alec 10 years ago

To be honest a second Algeria goal would help as then Wilmots would throw caution to the wind but I see Algeria just trying to stop Belgium scoring now by packing out the last third of the pitch. Someone mentioned a Belgium penalty and that wouldn’t be the daftest outcome as they have the pace to hurt Algeria if it is still 0-1 late on and they really go for it.

  125. 10 years ago

    ‘Crackers for thinkin Algeria would score …’
    Haha id say that was most definately intelligence not crackers.
    Raal u are a crack smoker ;-)

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Butty, I am sure that was a compliment ;)

  126. 1plus2 10 years ago

    Last 2 games I have done for corners b4 9 mins have flunked but I can see Brazil v Mehico as rectifying that and I am emptying my bet 365 account again on corner b4 9 mins.

    Also on a single and double on the multicorners Brazil game over 21.5 and Russian game over 20.5 as I say single on Brazil and double with Russian game.

  127. 10 years ago

    Rusty … Not sure what u want buddy??? What when where why???

  128. Sean Ireland 10 years ago

    Can see now why the manager left Fellaini on the bench,no room as he already had 10 Fellaini’s and a goalkeeper on the pitch,serously considering a saver on no more goals in the game as Belium look like theyre playing to David Moyes tactics.

    Belgium double chance in play

    Not a bad call

    Good man Rusty :)Was thinking you had taken the Champions league final really badly done a runner!

  134. Craig Alves 10 years ago

    Brazil over 6.5 corners 11/10, same price as RT7 but Mexico could get RT7 1st

  135. Gianni 10 years ago

    It’s not looking great at the moment (hopefully Belgium can turn it round). Just put on a Brazil and Russia Double @ 1.522/1

  136. footie fan 10 years ago

    Just in from the days grind to see ARE YOU NUTS RAAL!!! Then Algeria score you just couldn’t write that fecking hillarious.either that or macca the red is raal or raal is macca the red can’t stop sniggering away to myself either way macca the raal or raal the red is a top tipster

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      I ain’t macca the red I promise you! :)

    • macca the red 10 years ago

      well done raal i eat my words,but still never thought algeria would score.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Cheers macca mate and I saw where you were coming from but Algeria and now Egypt are really ones to watch mate as they are improving. Ghana as well but need them to improve quickly!

  137. 1plus2 10 years ago

    To much tippy tappy shite from belgium trying to play the spain way which imho is played out now and not very good at it either boring to watch now that style of play

  138. 10 years ago

    Haha Fellani doesnt miss them … Not with that head of hair! :-)

  139. raaljaca 10 years ago

    BELGIUM v ALGERIA 17.00

    BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE 11/10 (Boylesports)

    On the basis that I rate Algeria as a decent attacking side I see this game, still priced odds against, as another good bet for both scoring. Already tipped it at 13/8 about a week ago but at 11/10 it is still well worth getting involved with.

    ** WON ** :) **

    Kirkeby IF vs Odense BK

    Goal fest! Currently 0-6 with 27 minutes played. It was 0-2 at 17 minutes when I put £50 on o3/3.5 fh goal line. Wouldn’t be surprised if they suspended betting soon.

    I think Danny T, matt and a few others took the 4fold before the tournament at 18/1+, we are now waiting on the Colombia v Ivory Coast for a pay out and the BTTS NO can be backed around EVENS so option is there guys.

Best way to find out is next time your walking down the street look in a big shop window and if the reflection looking back at you is not the same one you saw in the bathroom mirror in the morning then I’m pretty sure you maybe NUTS!! Worked for me.anyway total LEGEND gave up counting the winners few weeks back totally insane the amount of winners u pick out and Greg and Shaun wherever he’s gone! Wow that rhymes maybe I’m a poet and don’t even know it.can feel a trip to a big shop window coming on again!!!!

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      footie, I have no reflection ;)

  164. Danny T 10 years ago

    Yeah raal I got on it very early I am seriously considering covering now as be good to get a good profit. I do trust your selections though mate. When you mrf or Greg post I normally get on . Great work mate thank you as always

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Danny, it pays over 18/1 mate so if you had £10 on at least stick another £10 on the NO bet to cover your stake. I have the 5 timer running on it at 38/1 and I am covering it so that every £10 on the original I will stick the equivalent of £50 on the NO at evens.

  165. daniel connor 10 years ago

    Lads is Russia win & under 2.5 goals realistic?

  170. Richard 10 years ago

    Slightly gutted – took 10-0 half time @ 13.0 for Odense game – dunno why they bothered playing any injury time given the score and it’s a friendly but of course no cash out and they scored in the 46th minute.

    Still won more than enough up until that point – from about 20 mins in the goal line was far too low though they seem to have reacted now

  171. Gianni 10 years ago

    Really disappointed Belgium -1 (Mr Fixit tip, Lost) never came in and relieved the Four-Fold (Mr Fixit tip, Win) did. On to the next.

  172. Sean Ireland 10 years ago

    Think ill stop looking up stats and form from now on and just bet on raals Btts picks without questioning his sanity, good call again raal.

    Raal thanks for that again mate. Despite Uruguay killing a couple of my accas dead still lots of money to be made :-)

    Unforunately, possibly,the fourfold btts and result I got on earlier will need to come in as Coral do not offer cashout do they?

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Matt, I don’t think they do but you can easily cover it mate. The 230/1 acca you put on is up and running as well ;) I have no doubts the Colombia v Ivory Coast will land though as Ivory Coast will score but lose or draw I reckon.

    • mattr 10 years ago

      We live in hope mate, is all good fun :-)May not be thinking that if it gets down the the Algeria v South Korea game though ;-)

  175. Oor man in Napoli 10 years ago

    Belgium win 1/3
    Belgium over 1.5 win paltry 4/11

    But my pal at Napoli DRIES MER_TENS scored the winner for me and saved a large stake from heading to BET365. Close call. Think Algeria will be more attacking in the next game down those wings. And Wilmots should have had Mertens/Fellaini on from the start.

  176. Richard 10 years ago

    whats the biggest score we’ve seen on Bet 365 before – goal line is 19 at the moment in Odense game and I can’t believe they’ll continue to go at it so hard in the second half so gonna have a wee punt and see how the half develops

    Raaljaca mate what is ur thoughts btts brazil win

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Shifty, daniel, I would not bet on them because nothing, for me, jumps out as an obvious bet. Russia should win without doubt but again we don’t know how they will perform in their first match. Brazil v Mexico does not have a history of goals but I wouldn’t put anyone of doing both to score at odds against for a smallish stake.

  183. Shaun tanner 10 years ago

  189. harpreet 10 years ago

    Raal……do u think Brazil will win tonight ???

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      harpreet, Brazil stole the game against Croatia in my opinion and tonight face a potentially better side than the Croatians. Mexico are not a bad side and can attack you from the back which at times Brazil may find it difficult to defend against. Brazil have all the superstars and should win but I couldn’t back them and be confident.

  190. Gianni 10 years ago

    Maybe should have pointed out that the Four-Fold (Mr Fixit tip) was Brazil, France, Argentina and Belgium.

  194. Damo 10 years ago

    Really like the ivory coast btts raal. Colombia looked impressive going forward although hard to gauge against Greece but they were creative and they will score a few I think.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Damo, what has been proved is the bookies odds should never put us off if they seem big. They are pricing the Ivory Coast and Colombia match at near evens which is huge in my opinion. Ivory Coast concede all the time but I would back them to snatch a goal against anybody with their style of play.

    Ok cheers raaljaca mate. Al have a wee tenner btts brazil fr an interest.

      Thank you Chief. Belgium would always improve ability wise as Algeria tired and it worked out well.

    • thechief 10 years ago

      It would have been a kick in the knackers had it been Belgium who hadn’t scored. Just reading through todays comments your sanity was on the line :)

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

  208. mattr 10 years ago

    Raal looking ahead Australia v Spain btts is 13/8. I will be having a bit of that. Initial thoughts yourself mate?

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Matt, that is decent odds but we need to watch the last round of games as some may have nothing at stake. I would never say leave it alone at these odds as they may well go near evens depending on what happens in the second round of games. A small single Matt would do no harm.

      Hi Harpreet I’m good cheers mate. Work is busy, bloody students ;-) I have Brazil as a single, in a double with Belgium and a smal stake treble with Russia so pretty confident they will win :-)

      Will be a small stake yes Raal but think Australia are going to be good for a goal in every game and Spain will most likely have to get something from the game to have a chance of qualifying.

  211. Leewoody 10 years ago

    Evening all, not listed much lately, my bets tonight

    Brazil & 2.5 goals 1/1
    Brazil-1 1/1

    Good luck :)

  212. Damo 10 years ago

    Absolutely agree raal. Greece had there chances and even samaras if he had been braver could have caused more issues for Colombia.

  213. thechief 10 years ago

    Brazil v Mexico

    Not a great deal jumps out value wise. Neymar to score will be popular, but I have took him top tournament scorer so I am in no rush to bet him anytime at odds on. He is the headline offer at William Hill 11/8.

    I put up Peralta to score in the opener and he as 9 in 7, could be worth a small punt at 4/1 Paddy Power. In the cards market I will again have a small punt on over 3 Mexico cards. Last two meetings they got an exactly 3 and one of those games was a friendly. I think it is worth the risk for one more card in front of a partisan crowd. It is 19/10 Ladbrokes.

    NEYMAR ANYTIME WINCAST 11/8
    PERALTA TO SCORE 4/1
    OVER 3 MEXICO CARDS 19/10

    Good luck if your having a bet

  214. TamTT 10 years ago

    Quick question guys, I had £20 on Belgium to score over 2.5 goals with bet365, I tried to cash out for £13 odd with 8mins left in game but was as it was processing I was told the offer was no longer available, however, my bet disappeared even from ‘bets that cannot be cashed out’ section, needless to say I never got the cash out & bet lost, is it worth chasing them up on this one?

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Tam, they will just tell you the cash out is made available if and when it suits them. They offer it but are not obliged to have it up all the time mate.

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      TamTT, only if you can prove the delay was their fault which is difficult.

    • TamTT 10 years ago

      Thanks, I understand that sometimes the request doesn’t go through for prices changes etc, and that not all bets offer cash back but what confused me was that the whole bet disappeared.. I will try them later, cheers for the replies.

    I’m already on your btts as a single. My further bets are:

    Btts & Belgium win 2-1 WIN
    Belgium win and over 2.5 @ evens WIN
    I also had the btts & win in a double with Brazil and overs. I don’t see that coming through and there might well be an upset tonight as the Mexicans are well up for this. Those that dare currently 15/2 for the win!

  231. Alasu57 10 years ago

    Got a £20 x 8 team acca on, started with France & Argentina Sunday( Won )….Then Germany yesterday (Won )….Had Belgium earlier (Won )……Have Brazil, Holland, Spain & England to Win also….So far,4 wins & 4 to go….If all win, I receive £678……So how can hills justify CASH OUT NOW @ £60 when my 4 winners so far accumulate to £106 ?????????????

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Alasu, a cash out will only be decent if they believe the bet will land mate. If Brazil were winning you might have been offered over £100.

  232. Gazza 10 years ago

    Still think Brazil will nick this.

  233. sean 10 years ago

    Hello! how are you all lads! any betting tips on the Russia game? im going to be round here more often and want to get off to a good start

  234. Alasu57 10 years ago

    Cheers Raal, fingers crossed, I think I will go all the way, until Thursday, then Uruguay Dbl Chance for profit !!!!!

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      As soon as it is feasible to cover then don’t hesitate as you are looking at enough profit to be able to do so. Good luck with it mate.

  235. sean 10 years ago

    I was thinking maybe a Both Teams to score and Wook to score for Korea great Aerial threat at 6’6

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Wook? that sounds like Woy shouting instwuctions in twaining :)

  236. Greg Browning 10 years ago

    Misafir, Russia are a decent team and don’t conceded many! South Korea have been Disspointing leading up to this! Just feel it has the look of a 1-0 2-0 Russsia win!

  237. harpreet 10 years ago

    Bewolf…lol I’m serious. Doctors would pick up on these stress levels

  238. bewolf 10 years ago

    Harpreet u r a comedian…what a laugh!!! Bravo!!!

  239. 10 years ago

    Mattr over 1.5 is @ 2.37 not 6/1!!!

  240. sean 10 years ago

    Raaj since its my first time, could you give me some super betting tips for the Russia game to get me going and roll some starter cash in

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      sean, keep your cash in your pocket until tomorrow would be my tip mate. If you want a bet Mr F has put up 2 for the match.

    • sean 10 years ago

      okay Raaj, will stick small stakes on Mr Fs bets and come back tomorrow to see whats happening! good luck to everyone betting tonight.

  241. misafir 10 years ago

    Thanks greg! I think i am giving it a go

  242. 10 years ago

    Holding out as much as possible to take Brazil to win … @ 1.72 can i risk 10 more minutes?

  243. Alex 10 years ago

    There’s too much value in the Mexican win @ 11-1 I have jumped on with a few coins. If they lose no harm done. Personally I would hate to have a heap of money riding on Brazil right now. If Mexico go ahead, they will sit back and strangle Brazil. Anyone else gone for Mexico?

  244. Richard 10 years ago

    Is anyone else watching this game tempted to back a Mexico win- they’re certainly in the game enough just a bit worried they’re too lightweight up front.

  245. Duncan Poundcake 10 years ago

    Penalty in match 5/1
    Mexico 1st goal 5/1
    Small stakes

  246. 10 years ago

    Cmon, 1 more card …

  247. kevin 10 years ago

    Stuck a fiver on mexico at 8/1

  248. 10 years ago

    Brazil win @ Evens (taken)

  249. Gianni 10 years ago

    Looking @ Brazil 1-0 or just Brazil.

  250. Richard 10 years ago

    Just put a wee bet on first goal to be a penalty @ 17.0 – think Brazil need a bit of help from the ref again

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Richard, they nearly had the penalty. Can’t see Brazil winning this tournament – they have Neymar, Oscar and not much else.

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Still Argentina for us Mr F!

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      raaljaca, Germany and Holland the best we’ve seen so far. At the start I said Brazil-Argentina or Brazil-Germany final but Brazil will need improve.

  251. Tonyboy 10 years ago

    As someone who watches a lot of Russian football I tend to agree with Greg and others here; Russia should win but I would not forsee a goal fest. For that let’s look to the Russian league matches tomorrow :)

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Tonyboy, do you think the Russian defences age will go against them in the heat as the game goes on? S Korea have fairly young pacey strikers who could possibly snatch a second half goal if Russia tire late on.

  252. Damo 10 years ago

    Another unimpressive display. Germany, Holland and even Italy would dispatch Brazil I reckon.

  253. Mattr 10 years ago

    Chip butty you are right mate. When I went back in saw I had read it wrong. Sorry pal.

  254. Gazza 10 years ago

    Backed Brazil in-play at 6/5

  255. Gianni 10 years ago

    On Brazil @ 5/4

  256. Alex 10 years ago

    There is a goal in this game, it keeps swinging from Brazil, Mexico and back.

  257. Bob Lowe 10 years ago

    I see a 0-0 coming along here :-/

  258. Shaun tanner 10 years ago

    Ref do me a favour and card somebody please! :D

  259. Damo 10 years ago

    Fred once again has been terrible as well, not made any effort at all to have an impact on the game.
    Whoever said it was right, you can’t win a world cup with a starting striker like that.

  260. 10 years ago

    Over 3.5 cards in!!! :-)

  261. 10 years ago

    Mattr dont apologies mate, i got excited for a min till i checked haha

  262. Greg Browning 10 years ago

    Think there has been 9 fouls in the opening 4 mins of the Brazil match.

    Over 3.5 bookings 5/6 worth a some small change – WIN :)

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Greg and Butty, good shout on the bookings guys

  263. raaljaca 10 years ago

    Some of the playacting and diving actually is very very entertaining in the replays, pure theatre :)

  264. Gianni 10 years ago

    Terrible, knew it. So many bets, Lost.

  265. Shaun tanner 10 years ago

    Brazil v Mexico

    Fred first 5/1 & anytime 6/4 scorer

    Dos Santos anytime scorer 6/1

    4-6 cards 11/10 WH

    Herrera to be shown a card 9/4 Betfair

    Alves to be shown a card 3/1 Betfair

    4-6 cards 11/10 WON

    Slight consolation in that one :(

    Mr f an raal no there stuff. Read ur post b4 i think on brazil game spot on again

  267. raaljaca 10 years ago

    Up side of the Brazil result is Cameroon and Croatia really do not want a draw and will go for goals tomorrow.

  268. fiddler 10 years ago

    FIDDLER’S BEST BET OF THE GAME

    BRAZIL – MEXICO
    Number of goals in match
    2 or 3 goals
    1/1

    Good luck
    ———
    lost

  269. Mattr 10 years ago

    Wasn’t worth a bet anyway chip butty :-) glad it wasn’t a tempting 6/1 Glad I cashed out my Brazil ti win accas for some profit at half time

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

    Any small stake tips on the russia game?

  271. Gazza 10 years ago

    Brazil are tripe and will be easily taken apart by a strong Dutch or German side imo.

  272. 1plus2 10 years ago

    Well that was a sore one for my bet portfolio :-(

  273. Shaun tanner 10 years ago

    Fair play to Mexico though maybe there better than originally thought. They would give any of the top teams a good game.

  274. 10 years ago

    Haha Raal Marcello tapped his chest before hitting the deck haha Bravo Bravo haha

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Tapped his chest frantically whilst reading aloud some Shakespeare before descending to the depths of the turf cursing all around him and vowing to return to wreak vengeance.

  275. Panikos 10 years ago

    Great win on my suggestion this morning for Algeria and Mexico double +1.5

  276. Lance Gringo 10 years ago

    I’ve said all along I wasn’t convinced by this Brazil side, poorest one in a long time, they were lucky in the first game and looked very average tonight.

    Only way Brazil will be in the final is if the referee from the Croatia game officiates all their future games.

  277. Lee M 10 years ago

    So Russia to win to nil looking the best bet?

  278. David 10 years ago

    Right what’s the Russia South Korea tips guys not willing to accept a losing night.

    Hard game to call

  279. top trumps 10 years ago

    Damo can you not remember france winning with stephane guivarch up front in 1998, he couldn’t kick a cow in the guts

    As a man once said ” why cheer on one team when you can cheer on two” :)

    • raaljaca 10 years ago

      Correct and let it be our motto!! Not watching the Russia game as early start tomorrow so I will bid you all a very good night and the best of luck ;)

  283. tomekplnd 10 years ago

    I see a Russian clean sheet, just not sure if I should tip them to win to nil or just the clean sheet

  284. mr madbet 10 years ago

    After that show by the not so mighty brazil looks like a last 16 ko for them very more tonight as they were against Croatia they will meet either spain or Holland I reckon both teams will beat them well my bets on the germans look streets ahead must be worth a bet for anyone

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      mr madbet, Brazil won’t beat Holland on what we’ve seen but it could be Chile they’re meeting which would be interesting.

  285. mr madbet 10 years ago

    My tips spain & france btts double £10 on return £150

  286. Andy 10 years ago

    I personally think South Korea are a decent side on what I’ve seen in the past, would not surprise me if they at least score.

  287. Gianni 10 years ago

    C’mon Russia! Never thought I’d ever say that.

    Brazil In-Play @ 5/4 Lost

    Brazil and Russia Double (panic bet) @ 1.522/1 Lost

    France, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Netherlands and Spain 6 fold @ 6.366/1 Lost

    Over 7 Brazil Exact Team Group Points @ 6/5 Lost

    Over 7 Brazil Exact Team Group Points and 9 Argentina Exact Team Group Points (5/4) Double @ 3.95/1 Lost

    Oh dear.

  288. harpreet 10 years ago

    Russia will win tonight….trust me. I’m feeling a BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM

  289. Damo 10 years ago

    Ha top trumps very true but they did have Zidane and he is miles above anything in the Brazil squad just now.

  290. Damo 10 years ago

    Ha tp trumps very true but they did have Zidane and he is miles above anything in the Brazil squad just now.

  291. niko 10 years ago

    Might sounds stupid but on sky bet it says ( to score 2 +) that mean 2 or more?

    Just bugs me not 100%

  292. Tonyboy 10 years ago

    Raal, I agree and was also thinking that. In Kerzhakov they have a striker that my Russian mates call the Russian Emile Heskey! He normally needs 5 or 6 chances to get a goal :)

    Personally I’d watch first 20-30 mins and if it’s still 0-0 I would take a chance on Korea DNB. I think they are too long personally and although Russia will probably sneak a tight win they won’t do it easily. Therefore let’s see how this one goes.

  293. Bertie 10 years ago

    If brazil played Germany tonight they would have got destoyed

  294. tomekplnd 10 years ago

    Harpreet what about Russia & under 2.5?

  295. fiddler 10 years ago

    FIDDLER’S BEST BET OF THE GAME

    RUSSIA – SOUTH KOREA
    Half time result/total goals
    Russia & over 1.5
    11/2

    Good luck

  296. Liam 10 years ago

    Does ki sung yung hit Koreas penaltys? I know he’s good with set pieces seen him at 25/1 hills could be a small stake shout?

  297. Panikos 10 years ago

    Russia – draw 14-1
    South Korea – draw 16-1
    Draw-draw 4-1

    Good luck guys

  298. harpreet 10 years ago

    Tomeklpnd…I feel that Russia are to strong for them tonight and will win and over 2.5 goals mate to be honest. Maybe a small bet to be safer on a straight up Russia win. I’m sticking a tenner on it mate.

  299. craigyboy 10 years ago

    I tell you what Brazil are massively overrated. They were poor against Croatia as well.
    Germany will win this. Mark my words. I backed them before the tournament. I had massive concerns with Gundogan ad Reus getting injured and other niggly injuries and with Brazil being the hosts and Argentina looking strong I thought they would be up against it. I know there’s a long way to go but if you watched the standard of play from the Germans compared to Brazil tonight and anyone else on their opening games. There is a huge difference.
    If Brazil would have played Germany tonight they would have got annihilated.
    Italy have also got to be respected. Holland’s result was a flash in the pan. Spain may prove to be dangerous, and an outside punt – don’t write off England. They pushed a good Italy side on Saturday.
    Intriguing competition this year and I’m sure a lot of people who have lumped on the Brazil World Cup win are regretting it now.

  300. Shaun tanner 10 years ago

    Russia v S.Korea

    Will take over 1.5 team goals- Russia (Gregs tip)

    Kokorin first and anytime (anytime Mr F’s tip)

    Shatov first and anytime scorer (my tip)

    Thanks guys for the tips. Thanks everyone for the posts- not wanting to be biased!

  301. Gianni 10 years ago

    I was with you there Craigyboy until you said “don’t write off England,” then I stopped reading.

  302. 10 years ago

    50/50 punt S.Korea to KO @ 1.9 now this is how exciting tonights been!!!

    This Russia game making me want go bed so for once in last week am not shattered at my desk, the way Russia are playing reminds me of the negative way England approached their last world cup. Curse of capello. (Hopefully I just cursed it and goal fest ensues)

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      1plus2, unfortunately the games are getting worse although Brazil-Mexico was OK for a 0-0.

  315. Ad 10 years ago

    I like the look of the following:

    Spain over 1.5 team goals 4/7
    Holland over 2.5 team goals 1/1
    England over 1.5 team goals 6/5

    Will take holland and england as singles and will be on the treble which pays £35 to a £5 stake.

  316. Danny T 10 years ago

    Honda is Japanese

  319. Mark Hudson 10 years ago

    Please settle an argument … did u see the guy who was waiting on germany Portugal both to score and germany for £25000

    Instead he cashed out for just under 5

    Surely the sensible thing would be to cover btts / no

    and gurantee £12000

    Or I got this wrong

    • Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Mark, he’d have had to cover btts no and Portugal and Portugal draw so would have been complicated. Did the right thing.
