Football World Cup 2014

[ileks]

Bets for today:
Aus v Netherlands: layed netherlands for £1400 @ 1.25
Cameroon v Croatia: layed Croatia for £877 @ 1.71
Spain v Chile: layed Spain for £1258 @ 1.59

The Spain bet is controversial, but our models say that betfair have them hugely overrrated to win, so we've layed them for maximum bet (£2000/1.59) as it's a very strong conviction. On the other hand, they've got it all to play for and our models don't factor in the emotional and situational side very well, so it might all go a bit pete tong. Oh well. Roll the dice mo'fuckers!

Oh, total running P&L after last night: £1,479.43

Nice one Chilly.

Do you also gamble in play? I'm not talking about the high frequency stuff but proper betting. As in, do your models tell you what the score is likely to be given the score/situation during the game?

Forgot about this!

 

[Draylor]

Did they ever catch that sniper?

No, not with football. With cricket: yes. With tennis, in the future, yes. Probably never for football.

Bet in play with the amount of diving that goes on? No thanks.

 

[Shagrat]

CAHILL.. what a beautiful goal

 

[megadave]

Awesome game

 

[ileks]

Is Robben better than Messi? I think I'd rather have him.

 

[Raven]

Forgot about this!

If that was Suarez, Scouse would be arguing until the end of time it wasn't a dive.

 

[megadave]

Go on the colonies! Socceroos deserve their lead

 

[Embattle]

Don't think Holland can go all the way, defence seems a bit weak at times.

 

[ileks]

Spain have dropped Xavi and Pique apparently. Strange. I'd have dropped Costa and gone for someone who can hold the ball up and bring the midfield into play more.

Who is that exactly?

Pique was terrible in the last game, Martinez should be better although he should really be in DM. Xavi has been poor all season, he shouldn't have been in the squad imo, time to move forward. Surprised Koke isn't starting.

 

[ileks]

Who is that exactly?

No idea to be fair. Torres I guess!

 

[old.user4556]

Spain lulz.

 

[Olgaline]

oh dear spain

 

[old.user4556]

Luuuulllz

 

[Raven]

Oh Spain...

Haha

 

[Embattle]

I get the feeling I can see why Jose benched Iker

 

[old.user4556]

Ululululuz

 

[CorNokZ]

I feel for you @Chilly

 

[DaGaffer]

This is starting to look like the most wide-open World Cup since the sixties. Only ze Germans seem to have read the script.

 

[Olgaline]

Costa looks on-cue for a spanish forward switching to the PL

 

[megadave]

Casillas must have seen akinfeev last night and got jealous

 

[Olgaline]

eeek Busquets

 

[Raven]

Haha, Torres on.

 

[Moriath]

Aye Spanish fecked now they bringing Torres on lol, would have thought they keep costa and Torres on but seems they do t want two up top

 

[Olgaline]

Now Imagine if he turned it all around single handedly

 

[old.user4556]

Utter dogshit are Spain.

 

[Calaen]

sorry we'd have to go back in time by about 5 years

Spanish time is over, Tika fucking taka is dead and thank god for that, never enjonyed their boring style as a neutral.
