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


Nah, I was just planning on betting on their opponents.

Also, Chile is almost as bad a shout as Cameroon.

Brazil not winning cost me a few quid last night on my daily treble.
Belgium and Brazil to win + Russia / South Korea to draw.

Tonights opportunity to throw my cash away involves £2 on:

Holland (W)
Chile/Spain (D)
Croatia (W)

8.26/1

Had a £5er on Brazil to win 2-1 last night with Skybet who offered to refund all bets if Brazil didn't win, so have re-used this with backing over 2.5 goals in the Holland game @ 8/13

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.

Please tell me you didn't back them?

Got £5 on Van Persie to get the golden boot at 18/1.

Hoping Muller doesn't add to his horse trick against Portugal.

Had £50 on Uruguay to win last night. Think it returned a profit of around 140gbp.

I'm now going full on misery hedge and laying Italy this evening followed - if they win - by a pointless series of other judas bets on Uruguay and Costa Rica etc
