Title: I placed some bets on the World Cup...
Post by: Mac 10 † on June 08, 2006, 06:47:15 AM
Ronaldo to be top scorer and Brazil to win the WC - £25 - 20/1           Possible return = £525
Adriano to be top scorer and Brazil to win the WC - £25 - 20/1           Possible return = £525
Ronaldinho to be top scorer and Brazil to win the WC - £5 - 28/1        Possible return = £145
Luca Toni to be top scorer at the WC - £15 - 16/1                             Possible return = £255
Thierry Henry to be top scorer at the WC - £5 - 12/1                         Possible return = £65
Ruud Van Nistelrooy to be top scorer at the WC - £5 - 16/1                Possible return = £85
Wayne Rooney to be England's top scorer at the WC - £15 - 6/1         Possible return = £105

* The Luca Toni bet was a free bet for joining Skybet
* Best possible outcome in £'s = 630
* Worst possible outcome in £'s = 0

But hey what is £80 really?  :P

Anyone else got some action going on for the World Cup?

Uhm not yet.. but now that you brought it up I actually might bet a little... I don´t bet usually but I just checked the site of my local bets provider (is that a word? lol) and I might go for some simple bets...

Like topscorer like you did and whatnot..

Alberto Gilardino @ 80/1 - £20, possible win - £1600.

Rooney was 65/1 on Betfair 2 days ago..
EDIT- I see its "England's" top-scorer.

betfair currently has Rooney on 42/1 for golden boot.

odds are 17.5/1, I placed £2, possible win = £35.

02) Olof Mellberg to score first goal, in the game of Trinidad - Sweden.
odds are 42/1, I placed £2, possible win = £82.

Gonna try to bet on all of the games today.

Made 25 quid bet on there to be more than two goals in England - Paraguay game, which nets me about 35 quid that I can then bet on the other two games with. Used the free 25 quid bet that this gave me @ Bet365 to bet on Ronaldo as top goalscorer at 11-1.

Made my money back betting on Argentina to win and Crespo to be first goalscorer.

Probably gonna put some money on Viduka for first scorer in Aus-Jap

bah!

finally made a £13 profit, and just blew it on Italy to win..

I seem to win money during games, like on the "Next Goal", I have bad luck betting on sides before a ball is kicked..

ah, back to the drawing board of £0 profit  >:(

I was about to ask how is everyone doing so far. I'm 10 quid up at the moment, but there has been quite a lot of winnings I have betted away.

I'm betting petty sums with my uncle on a couple games. So far we only bet on 1, which I won (I lost it when I played him a game of pool). Got 2 games going for Brazil vs. Australia and Netherlands vs. Argentina. Not a whole lot of money going, but it is a lot to me considering I don't have a job.

 :banana_rock: :banana: :monkey_dance2: :monkey: :cheers:

I placed on Spain to win, after they went behind to Tunisia, and banked on Jaidi getting a yellow card, and won a cool £21 profit.

Remember, I won £18 on the last Spain game.

In two second half peformances from Spain, i've profited a cool £39 :).
now.. not to waste it on a huge bet again like Italy-USA..  ;D

I've bet on them winning with a -1 handicap, you get better odds.

Got 30 on, will get £54 back.

true but thats the risk-reward situation :)

Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on June 25, 2006, 03:37:48 AM
I've found that a great thing to bet on is for the first corner to be within the first 8 minutes. Its usually evens, but after you've won a few and then bet that stake on the next one, your money can really start to pile up. The only game recently where this hasn't happened was Mexico - Argentina, but the rest I've bet on all have.

If England 2moro I'll win:
£67 off a £20 double bet on an England win and an Italy win
£33 off a £10 triple bet on an England win, and Italy win and a draw between Germany and Italy

COME ON ENGLAND!!
