Backing draws blindly in the second round matches would yield a healthy profit so far. The draw for the Brazil v Chile match was 7/2 alone.

best at 24/5 for this one

I can't believe people think Schurrlllee meant to heel the ball behind him to score.

Friedel "I think he meant it, I was following his eyes", FFS, he meant to do a heelybackstrike.

Good auld Brady, "I don't think Schurrrllllee has the skill to do that"

Cant for the life of me figure out how france are double the price of germany? and columbia still 3 times their price!

droidman123

Me too

The colombia price is crazy
French german game very much
A 50/50 match imo
Bookies giving brazil too much respect

Bateman

Chile are better than Colombia on almost any metric, and Brazil were able to get past them. I think the chance to get Brazil beaten before the final is gone

Harry Angstrom

It's about time the Argies started playing to their potential. Hopefully they'll crush the boring Gnomes of Zurich in style today.

Harry Angstrom

Terrible effort. Sums up the Swiss.

Harry Angstrom

Jaysus, I've seen better matches in the AUL in Turners Cross.

Harry Angstrom

Backed Argentina to win outright. Gonna have to go for some insurance bet on another other team. This crowd are shyte.

hucklebuck

I wonder what odds you would get on Di Maria not actually being Argentinian, must be 1/100000. Complete ****ebox.

Harry Angstrom

I remember the good oul days when, if we had Switzerland in a qualifying group for the Euros or World Cup, we'd be confident of putting at least 3 or 4 goals past them

Only thing i remember is them keeping us out of competition for 4 years

Harry Angstrom

Another second round match, another draw.

sdoc13

Very tempted to back usa tonight. Maybe draw no bet for bit of cover.

Slattsy

This is painful to watch.

Harry Angstrom

This is fcukin awful. Pile of shyte.

Harry Angstrom

About time they got their act together.

hucklebuck

Doing their best to try go to penalties

hucklebuck

Was going to do USA myself but draw is probably the most likely, FFS

Boring cheating Swiss bastards going home :cool:

Harry Angstrom

Strange World Cup. No stand out team so far.

Good riddance to Switzerland though. Negative fookers.

Zusi FGS and USA to win 1-0, 125/1

mailburner

argentina now best priced 9/2 despite the usa or belgium awaiting
them for a semi spot
imagine someone showing you the possible quarter final draw at
the start and telling you 9/2 would be available on them

says it all really that the price on them now is bigger than
at the start of the comp
have em backed at best priced 17/4 myself
biggest one man band of a team ever surely

sdoc13

Have backed usa no draw no bet @ 21/10 with lads.

Also have dempsey fgs and usa1 to 0. Here is hoping.

Go the winningest team.

I backed them at 4/1. I wouldn't have believed they'd be a bigger price at the quarter final stage.

Harry Angstrom

RTE commentary isn't matching with pictures. Bunch of amateurs.

mailburner

on no gs and usa dc here

cant see the no gs coming in at all and cant see
belgium not winning the way its been going

please let me be wrong

Banned.

Is that Victor Mildrew or Ray Houghton commentating?

I dooooooonnnn't believe that cross from Vertonghen, he didn't bloody cross it high enough

hucklebuck

Cunningham is deadly, he talks with his eyebrows and always looks around the room to see if they are nodding or shaking their heads

mailburner

howard has been just brilliant

no idea how belgium arent winning

Slattsy

Belgium - worst beers in the world
America - some decent beers

USA USA USA

Not confident about that. I keep seeing ageuro and get strange feelings

Slattsy

Some finish to this game, USA desperately unlucky not to score.

sdoc13

I want penalties

Slattsy

What a game, credit to the USA in extra time, they were quality.

Gregk961

Best extra time ive seen in a while anyway! I could listen to friedels silky voice all week

Harry Angstrom

Yet another second round draw, lads. Easy money at this stage :pac:

JONJO THE MISER

hello hello hello

ste2010

Who do you reckon this is...won't take long to figure out and would give odds of 100/1 they will actually do anything for me


Hi help,

I woke up this morning a little disappointed. Last night I placed 2 world cup bets

USA v Belgium
1) 1 x USA to win on penalties
2) 1 x under 0.5 goals to be scored in 90mins

I noted this morning when logging in bet number 2) did not place.

When i placed the bet a price refresh (13/2 to 7/1) took place before I clicked continue which I accepted and continued but for some reason the bet didn't place.

I don't usually complain about things like this e.g. Last week I backed a horse at 10/1 on your U.I. But the bet slip placed the bet at 8/1 . (Obvious price had changed but the betting screen had not updated). I appreciate there are minor bugs here and there but the under 0.5 goals not being placed absolutely took the biscuit for me.

What are you going to do to resolve this issue?

Kind Regards
Stephen

hucklebuck

I don't fancy your chances Ste. What firm is it?

B365 ate all over the shop lately, having to hit place bet about 100 times before it accepts the bet and getting messages about traffic when I want to check my unsettled bets.

France Columbia double is 14.2/1, looks a good bet.

ste2010

Wow - I will be staying bet victor


Thank you for your recent contact.

I am writing in reply to your previous email regarding a bet that you attempted to place on Under 0.5 goals in the Belgium v USA game. After a review of your account we can see that there was an unforeseen technical error that stopped your bet from being placed after accepting a price change from 13/2 to 7/1. As such we have manually credited your account with an additional €70.00 which is the profit that you would have won from €10.00 @ 7/1. Please accept our apologies for this error that you have experienced. we believe that the cause of this should not happen again in the future.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Slattsy

Nice one.

hawaii501

Excellent bookies always near the top prices when it comes to football and horses.
Any other bookies would have just avoided that situation too.

rule supreme

Cunningham was talking some rubbish last night .Hopefully they keep brad friedel on , he has some sense .

Hulk Hands

They're not always so nice. Because of a cock up on their app I ended up having 100 quid on a 25/1 correct score instead of a tenner. They refused to void as the game had just kicked off. Real reason is that im restricted so they treat you like muck. They've closed most I know but seem to just restrict these days. Ended up hedging that bet for a small profit luckily

I should point out that bookies restrictions are the sole reasons we get good value these days so im in favour of them. They should void a bet when their app fuucks up though
