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.
Paddy Power 2/5 and VC 4/11 now
Time of first USA goal before 36 mins @ 5/6 or what about USA to be winning after 30 mins @ 7/4?
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.
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! :)
Greg, yeah must be well backed.
what stadium is the game being played in
Barry, it’s in Salt Lake City.
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.
£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.
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?
Boogabear, is that one that was an OG originally then changes. First goal took at least two deflections.
chris you ever see devils rejects
maybe got tge 2nd and 1st was given as an own goal boogabear??
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.
Fingers crossed.
couple £1 accas and will see how they go.

Yes Barry lol, Captain Spaulding
Bate is from Belarus
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
Thanks sly/MrF :)

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 :)
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
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
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.
http://www.paddypower.com/bet/powerplay/enhanced-special?ev_oc_grp_ids=239489
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
for me both teams two score.
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!!
Chris, I should have listened to you about Altidore but happy enough with the USA win.
Just put the bets on but stuck the 1-0 scorecasts on with VC as they were offering 22/1.
Really hope Honduras don’t score
they will look at the nigeria game chris taliti scored might be wrong good luck with ur bet dude.
£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
Nice one Chris guy :)
Cheers Greg
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
