Pretty simple really, I don't know if anyone else fancy's giving this a go.

 

If I remember I'm in Opti.

 

im expecting reids may be keen too!

 

I'd be up for it too.

 

I can already post my final balance: £10.10 after I put it all on England not to reach the final.

 

Aye, already gone through and ear-marked my bets for every game that I fancy!

 

I'm in.

 

I'll give this a go.

 

Worth a tenner. Im in (if i remember)

 

I'll start!

Balance £0

 

Bold. Go big or go home i guess.

 

Got this going with a few mates of mine, but will post my bets on here too.

 

Is it only matches we can bet on?

 

Anything world cup related, so long as it is not stupid stuff like refs hair colour or something.

 

I'll ***** my last £2 on this then:

Bet 4:

Argentina to be the highest scoring team at the WC
Stake: £2 (odds 7/2)
Payout (incl stake): £9

 

Spain each way at 13/2 seems too good to say no to, especially with the squad they just announced.

 

Happy days will get involved in this and probably copy people's bets.

 

Balance: £10


Bet 1:

Japan to qualify from their group

Stake: £1.50

Potential payout (inc stake): £3.30


Balance:£8.50

 

Haven't they got a past-it Torres and Villa, and a half-fit Costa upfront? I know they won in 2010 with no striker for a lot of games, but in my opinion that team was a lot better than this team. They're basically just the same team, just four years older, with Xavi/Iniesta in particular not at the level that won them the WC2010.

 

Chances are though, lumping £10 on the end result won't get you very far. Although judging by my recent form and the other entries so far, maybe not!

 

Im keeping my cards close to my chest at the moment. Got a couple of nice bets lined up I think.

 

I think they still have the best balanced squad of all the teams competing. I don't want them to win though, it'll be boring if they do, I really don't enjoy watching Spain.

 

Balance: £10

First bet: Brazil to win and Neymar to score in 90 minutes 6/5 £1.00

 

Going to give this ago later on, hoping some profit will be made for a change.

 

Copying this

EDIT: I'm on skybet and only get 4/5, not worth it.

 

Didn't neymar get injured in training slightly?

 

I don't think you actually have to place the bet, if you see the odds on another bookie that are better i'm sure using those would be fine.
