THIS could be the longest I've sweated over a treble. It started with Laura Robson who played in the Eastbourne women's tennis tournament at 2.15pm, continued with Spain Under-21s and finishes in the early hours of the morning with the USA.

However, any winning treble's worth waiting for so hopefully the USA will beat Honduras (3am) in a vital World Cup qualifier.

Jurgen Klinsmann's men are bidding for three wins in a row after defeating Jamaica 2-1 and Panama 2-0.

Victory will just about clinch a World Cup finals place and the USA are 8-15 with BetVictor and Paddy Power to get it.

Honduras beat the States in the tournament opener but USA haven't been beaten in a competitive match at home since 2001 and have won 22 out of 24 of their matches.

It's an impressive record and on the road to Rio Klinsmann's side have won five out of five on home soil.

Honduras are facing a play-off against New Zealand and are without the likes of star turns Maynor Figueroa and Luis Garrido.

There is a difference in quality between these two teams and I can't see anything but a USA win.

Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore are 9-2 first-scorer favourites with William Hill and if I had to pick one it would be Dempsey. Both are 13-10 to net at any time with BetVictor.

    Paul I was just about to post about this game. Should be a straightforward win for USA. Honduras missing 5 key players including their striker who walked from the team. Here is a preview from online;

    SALT LAKE CITY — On the surface, it seems that Honduras is more than just depleted for its game against the USA Tuesday, it’s decimated.

    It isn’t just the number of players missing, it’s the quality. Vital performers Boniek Garcia and Maynor Figueroa are injured, while hulking defender Victor Bernardez and defensive midfielder Luis Garrido are suspended.

    If the forced absences weren’t enough, forward Jerry Bengtson has left the team after a spat with manager Luis Fernando Suárez, following the coach’s decision to bench the New England Revolution forward in the team’s last qualifier against Jamaica.

      Chris, I know they’ve got problems so fairly happy with going for USA to complete the treble.

  2. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Paddy Power 2/5 and VC 4/11 now

  3. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Time of first USA goal before 36 mins @ 5/6 or what about USA to be winning after 30 mins @ 7/4?

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Chris, USA apart from the Germany friendly haven’t been prolific scorers so I’m not sure. As I’m not watching it or even monitoring it I’m doing the USA and Dempsey and that’s it. And of course have the treble on.

  4. Greg Browning 11 years ago

    Cut to 4/11 now, jus a bit too short! Opting for over 1.5 USA goals at 8/15

    Like you said Mr F, hopefully wake up to a nice profit first thing! :)

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Greg, yeah must be well backed.

  5. barry 11 years ago

    what stadium is the game being played in

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Barry, it’s in Salt Lake City.

  6. Dazz 11 years ago

    Trying to find the best bet which has value as odds for USA win are crap.
    Handicap maybe at 11/10 with paddy power ,or maybe half time result USA at 5/6 maybe.
    No goal scorer markets available though on paddy power,very poor.

  7. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    £60 EW on Dempsey. Total £120

    If he scores first £480 back (£360 profit)
    If he scores anytime £150 back (£30 profit)

    Won’t be watching it either so hopefully I wake up to a healthy Bet365 balance.

  8. Boogabear 11 years ago

    When Nigeria played Tahiti I placed a £5 bet on oduamadi to score first, odds of 8.50, he didn’t score first but I still got paid out the £42.50, does anyone know why this was or was it am error on bet365 behalf?

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Boogabear, is that one that was an OG originally then changes. First goal took at least two deflections.

  9. barry 11 years ago

    chris you ever see devils rejects

  10. Craig alves 11 years ago

    maybe got tge 2nd and 1st was given as an own goal boogabear??

  11. Dazz 11 years ago

    Stuff paddy power,as no goal scorer markets available,gone with bet365.
    Dempsey to score anytime 5/4.
    And Dempsey to score first and USA to win 5/1.

  13. Boogabear 11 years ago

    Craig, what country bate from?

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Bate are from Belarus.

  14. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Yes Barry lol, Captain Spaulding

  15. Sly 11 years ago

    Bate is from Belarus

  16. Boogabear 11 years ago

    MrF, I’m not sure what happened with the goals, I just checked the half time score and see that he didn’t score first, but then noticed I had been paid out for the bet I made. Strange lol

  17. Boogabear 11 years ago

    Thanks sly/MrF :)

  18. Craig alves 11 years ago

    those thinking dempsey 1st gl can get 12/1 in first 20 mins or 14/1 21-45. done these along wi wincast and anytime, dempsey to score the 1st goal after 45 mins, or in 2nd half, is 20/1 all at 365. small stakes of course on all bets wi a larger one on anytime. if he scores 1st profit and if he scores anytime £ back.

    boogabear, yeah there easily best team in Belarus and sure they beat bayern in munich 3-1 in champs league group stages, 1/6 to win so it’s a awfy longshot at 249/1 but worth a cheeky quid :)

  19. Boogabear 11 years ago

    Craig your right, it’s definitely worth a cheeky quid :) I have had a punt on it too.
    I’m still debating what to place on Dempsey to be first scorer or anytime scorer lol but thanks for advice

  20. gked 11 years ago

    Going for altidore myself. First Scorer in each of the USA’s last three matches and will play further forward than dempsey. Much improved since his brief stint in the eng prem with bolton.

    Altidore 1st scorer 5.5 Will Hill (moby so stake back if scores 2nd)

    Altidore anytime scorer 2.2 Will Hill

    USA HT/FT 2.1 BetVictor
    USA -1 2 Paddy Power
    2-0

  21. gked 11 years ago

    Given the tank in USA price,there is a good value enhanced double at Paddy Power.

    2.5 for USA and Costa Rica double, will only get 2.2 elsewhere.

    Costa rica not as safe as the yanks but they’ve won their last 4 at home without conceding a goal.

  22. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Don’t know why anyone would want to do Dempsey first a USA to win @ 5/1. Safer just to do Dempsey first goal @ 9/2

  23. usa man 11 years ago

    for me both teams two score.

  24. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Call me crazy but thinking about doing the following anytime scorecasts. Total stake £120

    Altidore:
    £20 on 1-0 @ 16/1 returns £340
    £20 on 2-0 @ 9/1 returns £200
    £15 on 3-0 @ 12/1 returns £260

    Dempsey:
    £20 on 1-0 @ 16/1 returns £340
    £20 on 2-0 @ 10/1 returns £220
    £20 on 3-0 @ 12/1 returns £260

    Don’t think Honduras will score and surely Dempsey or Altidore will score. If
    Both score quids in!!

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Chris, I should have listened to you about Altidore but happy enough with the USA win.

  25. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Just put the bets on but stuck the 1-0 scorecasts on with VC as they were offering 22/1.

  26. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Really hope Honduras don’t score

  27. usa man 11 years ago

    they will look at the nigeria game chris taliti scored might be wrong good luck with ur bet dude.

  28. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    £120 Dempsey first goal EW LOST

    5 x £20 scorecasts LOST

    £20 Altidore 1-0 scorecast @ 22/1 WIN

    Total staked £240
    Total returns £460
    Total profit £220

  29. Greg Browning 11 years ago

    Nice one Chris guy :)

  30. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Cheers Greg

  31. paul h 11 years ago

    im smelling a bit of bullshit chris,last night your post read
    Altidore £20 on 1-0 @ 16/1 returns £340,now this morning you are claiming same result at 22/1? someone is telling porkies me thinks.

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      macca, Chris Guy’s betting patterns have been a long-running debate that I don’t want to get in to again. As far as I see he places the bets he says and has sent me proof by email plenty of times after questions from people like yourself. He bets as he does and that’s up to him so let’s leave it there.

  32. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Macca no need to make silly comments which could cause arguments on the site. Why would those bets be so unbelievable to you? I couldn’t care less what you think but don’t try to make me out to be a liar just because its something you wouldn’t consider doing. I don’t question any of your bets so please don’t question mine. My bets can be available for inspection at anytime. I think Mr Fixit was getting fed up with me having to forward on my bets in order to prove the doubters wrong, even then they still didn’t believe. If it makes you feel any better or if it will stop you making derogatory comments towards me I will be more than happy to forward on proof of these bets. It’s quite sad that it would get to this stage to be honest.

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Chris, let’s not start any more arguments. I think his main point was you quoted one price on the double then quoted a higher price later on.

  33. Chris Guy 11 years ago

    Paul look at my comments before kick off. I stated that I had placed the 1-0 scorecasts with VC instead as noticed they were doing 1-0 scorecasts for 22/1 instead if Bet365‘s 16/1. This comment was made BEFORE the game. Macca has selective reading.

    • Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Chris, that should have been your reply to him. I’ve said to him you’ve proved your bets many times. Let’s leave it there.
