Have you put the teams into your random generator to find out who wins the whole thing?

Whatevs my usual rant about 'value'....your usual replies.... </discussion>


At this point let's just say that while I'm still in bed with 'value', I have been painfully divested of any faith in my own ability to spot it.

So I may as well be picking lottery numbers, tbh.

Fancy some goals in this game, gone for

Over 3.5 £5 @ 3.0
Over 4.5 £5 @ 6.0
Over 5.5 £5 @ 12.5

Will look to lay the 5.5 back if there are some goals early on.

Haven't won a penny so far :( Nigeria messed me up for 100 quid yesterday, only team from a 5 fold. Funny because that bet was all outsiders, yet my favourites acca lost 3 results!

Just as I wrote this, Belgium saved me bacon!

That was close. Had a tenner on Belgium at half time at 27/10. Didn't go for the treble in the end, had a fourfold of Toronado, Kingman, Belgium and Russia at 7/1. So need Russia to hook a brother up.

Why do I get the feeling that this conversation ends with "Cheers, I'll be laying that one, then"?

I'm not saying I'm backing them, but I notice Chile were available at almost 6/1 early today. Down to 11/2 now, widely available.
