MRF WorldCup18 TopTips
IT was another dramatic night in Russia with Marcos Rojo's late strike putting Argentina through at the expense of Nigeria and Iceland.
The last 16 line-up is taking shape and by finishing second the Argentines now face what could be a cracker against France.
Despite winning Argentina didn't look any great shapes but France haven't hit the heights yet so it's down to who finds their form on the day.
My Super Single was a speculative one on Iceland to Croatia and while they gave it a good go against a weakened side they couldn't find a second goal before being hit by a sucker punch right at the death.
The Daily Double won though thanks to Peru +1 and Nigeria +2 and three of my four recommended bets landed too.
Well done to all the winners and there were some good ones. Also congratulations to nflffan and joe who decided to share the last man standing prize.
Wednesday brings Germany v South Korea and Mexico v Sweden in the afternoon and at night it's Serbia v Brazil and Switzerland v Costa Rica and I've posted my thoughts on the four games. There will be previews from site contributors too.

    Got the NAP wrong but Nigeria/Argentina played out in the 2nd half as it did in last November’s friendly to bring in the NB and profit. Well done to yesterday’s winners.

    MEXICO VS. SWEDEN (1500 KO):

    Sveden needing a win to progress and Meixico needing at least a draw means we oughn’t to have the dirge that was the Danish game at least.

    I like Mexico and they are a good footballing side with plenty of threat up top – can see them coming out on top here and catching the Swedes on the counter.

    MEXICO OVER 1.5 TGS…11/8

    World Cup 15:00

    Mexico vs Sweden – Marcus Berg over 0.5 shots on target

    Double 19/10 Bet365 **NAP**
    ——————————————————————————————–
    World Cup 15:00
    Mexico vs Sweden – #WhatOddsPaddy
    Each team to get 4 or more corners

    World Cup 15:00
    South Korea vs Germany – Germany over 3 second half team corners

    Double 2.64/1 Paddypower **NB**

    Both of Sweden’s group games saw five or more 1st half corners with one of Mexico’s seeing it. Marcus Berg presents a threat from set pieces and plays just slightly in front of Toivonen. Against Germany he got in behind forcing Neuer to save with his legs and glanced a header on goal from Larsson’s freekick again making Neuer save.

    Good luck all

    Penalty bets update, since starting in Spain v Portugal game, 20 winning pen bets in 37 games. Shade under 23 points profit so far.

    For a penalty in match odds were a tasty 12/5 when I started! However bookies keep sharpening the odds. As long as can keep finding stake + 1.5x stake returns (around 7/4) I’ll keep going. Hope they stay around this as want to complete the whole group stage. At the current 4 games per day around those odds, 2 of the 4 need to land to see profit which is in line with the average so far (VAR playing a big part in this which is why I started it).

      wow… I clearly didn’t shop around on the first one. should have just done every single match group game pen singles as ante-posts lol.. although to be fair I was using the first few games to review VARs impact. Just goes to show how tight they are now but hardly surprising, I do still think there’s value in this market though.
      cheers, hope there’s plenty of rash challenges near the goal again today.

    It’s all about the 1st goal which leads me to a low scorer.
    If Sweden net 1st it’s they who will probably catch Mexico on the break and nick a 2nd.
    If Mexico score 1st same story in that Mexico will catch them as they chase.

    Most goals 2nd half 23-20 nap

    Over 5.5 goals at 11/2

    This is a game where Germany want to win by at least two goals,and it’s also a game where they will be looking to win heavily to build confidence back up,i do expect South Korea to score with there fast counter attack.Correct score 5-1
    Best of luck.

    Header goal for Serbia.

    From research and watching Serbia they are a Tall team and taller than Brazil. They have decent delivery namely the set play takers in Tadic , Kolarov & Milivojevic but also in open play.
    The stats say they have high attempt of headers in matches .

    Brazil are giving up a height difference. Average is under 6ft they are smaller team that the Serbs around 6’2/6’3 .There descrepancy in this market and we can have value.

    For me I have seen a Major oversight by skybet on the header market 33/1 for Ivanovic and 33/1 for Tosic . Too big!!!

    I had to request for Milinkovic-Savic to be listed in header market and now listed at 8/1! less that Mitrovic!
    (Paddy power has him at now 18/1 was 28/1)

    Now Mitrovic at 12/1 Anytime header as a sky boost.?

    I actually tweeted sky and did several RAB hoping to take advantage of the market

    Neymar to score outside the area and Mitrovic to score a header 125/1

    #RequestABet

    Ivanovic to score a header and Neymar to score from outside the area is now on site at 300/1

    Neymar to score from outside the area and Mitrovic to score a header 125/1

    Ivanovic to score a header and Coutinho to score from outside the area is now on site at 200/1

    Mitrovic to score a header. And a penalty scored. 25/1
    Tosic to score a header and a penalty scored 80/1
    Ivanovic to score a header and a penalty scored 80/1

    Several other requests have been met which will be listed but highlighting these.

    Okay so I recognise there are other online gambling sites where you can do request betting I’ve just shown what I’ve done and get people interested in maybe exploring similar or following the bets I made.

    Finally I was fortunate to win on market of a Mitrovic header and Xhaka to score outside the area at 150/1 in recent Serbia v Switzerland match.
    And also win on market of Stones to score a header and Jesse lingard to score from outside the penalty area.

    That inspired me to join twitter and start request my own bets .

    So today hoping for chances as Coutinho and Neymar and William are proven and can shoot from distance and Serbia are proven in headed market. Mitrovic , Tosic and Ivanovic are all strong in the air.

    I have read with interest on this sight over the months all the great tips and previews and I wanted to post something which proves profitable for all and to give back as it were.

    Stay lucky. And I hope my first post will have some winners

    CRUSADERS / STRIKERS VS. PORTADOWN (2000 KO):

    When your’e looking for redemption, nothing quite beats a good old fashioned bit of NILF action…

    This one could prove more one sided than tonight’s Germany v England fans ‘towels on the sunbeds’ themed competition in Moscow and the favouritism has to be for the home side.

    Crusaders ladies crushed Portadown 7-0 in the Cup just weeks ago and the travelling side have now conceded 5-7-9-6-11 in consecutive games as they find their post-promotion campaign a tough gig.

    It’s a big goal-line but there’s certainly potential for a league battering that would see the hosts take a temporary pole position at the top:
