World Cup 2018

Do you mean Falcao Ista? Like you day seems a big price

Haha, good spot ryan, yes Falcao.
It is extremely unlikely to come off but slightly more likely than a Uruguayan scoring for Colombia....

Haha very true Ista. Ive had 0.5pts on it as a flutter. As you say seems a silly price

I can't see it.

I can only see Falcao from outside the box at 250/1 with Kane header.

I'm going to have £20 worth of stupid bets on I think
 
Done Croatia to beat Russia today at 16-1., and the half time / full times for both games. England 2 - sweden 0 . . 12-1.
Come on England !!!.
 
35 pts down overall for the world cup now.... yesterday was a bad day. I fancied Uruguay and Brazil quite strongly!

I've ended up backing the commentator bingo for the England game... so fingers crossed they say "Euro 96" or the word "Momentum" :highly_amused:

I've enjoyed the World Cup so far and unless Croatia win the tournament I can't see me getting out ahead, but it'll only be a small loss in the grand scheme of things.

Where you place those bets Kev? 'Euro 96' is a certainty!
 
Cheers Ista , Turns out it was actually 13-2 , but a winner is a winner !,
 
Skybet have commentator bingo

Euro 96 was 5/4 when I was looking, went back on 15 minutes later to back it and was into 8/11!

I lost 8 pts on Commentator Bingo during the last game haha
 
France 2 - Belgium 1 -@ 12-1. France 2 - Belgium 2 - @14-1 , correct score tonight . Also Half time full time reversed @ 25-1.
 
Quick update from me, delighted to have 3 of the 4 semi finalists and as a result had a decent bet (8 points) on France (the only one not backed earlier in the tournament) to ensure a reasonable profit whatever happens. France is smallest winner so ideal scenario is they lose on penalties tonight and I get my stake back with Bet365...:) Shame Uruguay couldn't make it 4 out of 4 and ensure a really nice payout, very unlucky with the Cavani injury and thought their game with France could still have gone either way. Been a fun tournament, hopefully the final matches few matches will continue in the same vein.
 
RC

Did you not consider laying the win on the three you had already backed inside 90 mins ?
You get ET/Pens on your side...

No didn't cross my mind and my head is really hurting thinking about it now...haha! Really interesting point and one I will think about more next time I'm in a similar position - hopefully won't have to wait another 4 years.

Disappointed with the result to night although enjoyed the intensity of the match, France are a tough nut to crack
 
A token bet for the match tonight. 50/1 Trippier first goalscorer - maybe slightly too big as he does appear to be on free-kicks

I've backed Maguire to score a header at 14/1.

I hearde he's the 'most aimed at' player and combined with the England plusses at Set Pieces and Croatian negatives he might double his international goal tally tonight :very_drunk:

I honestly celebrated that on your behalf. Can only imagine how happy you felt when that went in.

Well done FM. Legendary summer
 
I had a bet on Croatia to be eliminated in the semis at 11/2, so just cashed that out with 365, also had a free bet from Sky, only a tenner, had that on same bunch to win the tourny. Would be a small consolation now I suppose if England get beat, hope they don't though, placed those 2 weeks ago.
