Leppard Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Had 2k on Argentina winning 2-0 , 15k on them just winning. Got everything wrong on the Korea-Nigeria game but didn't bet much on it. Had 5k on a SK win. Had 15k on SA winning - got me 90k. Had 500 on Suarez as first scorer - got me around 3.5k. Been a good few days for me. I wish I had put all 20k on SA winning though .

matt1389 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I've gone from around £65k to £150k with a few bets today. Very happy with that. Although, I'm now scared that I'll lose it all on England again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscillate Wildly Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Gone for a crazy tilt on Ghana. Full £20k (for £90k win), plus extra on a 2-1 win and Gyan as FGS @ 13/1. Also gone big on England and USA. Mon Defoe and Dempsey. Today's going to kill me. Stupidity never prospers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leppard Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Not sure at all about the England game. Definitely not betting on Ghana to win but I'm quite tempted. The odds are sooo good. This is probably the last time I'll have so much money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the last time I'll have so much money. Definitely not but tempted? I've gone for Germany because it just makes sense that they'll get the job done. Might put a small bit on Ghana to minimise loses or I can be brave and have faith, hmm, decisions decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayArr Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Wahey, I actually got a first scorer right for once. Now if England could see their way to win 3-1 I'd be in the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leppard Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Definitely not but tempted? I was sure but still tempted . Was so tempted to put money on Defoe but put it on Rooney. Have 17k on an England win and 2k on a 3-1! Mon!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayArr Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Get in, I had 1-0 England, Defoe FGS, and 1-0 USA with Donovan FGS, although to be fair I did bet on all kinds of other things as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pukey Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Had 20k on England win and 8k on USA win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leppard Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Number 1 on the OTF rankings . Samamatara must've had an amazingly bad day today. But I'm going down because I forgot to bet on the second couple of games. Was too happy about England going through . Had 17k on a US win and 500 on Donovan FGS. 20k on an England win and 500 on Defoe FGS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_oc16 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Bet on Australia winning and the 2-1 score but only 5k and 500 respectively. With other bets it means only a 1k gain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Had the 2-0 for England, wasteful gits, lost a bit on that Aussie win :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscillate Wildly Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Some tight calls to be made today. New Zealand worryingly resilient, otherwise a Paraguay win would be a banker. Holland could ease up against Cameroon, and Cameroon may want to go out in style (or just as easily might not give a toss). Italy inconsistent. Denmark probably the best bet. The senisble thing would be to ignore today entirely... ...so that's another £60k of silly bets then. Come on Cameroon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1389 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 People have to win, so that should open teams like NZ up. That's what I'm banking on at least! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Kiwis can't keep doing it! Italy always take it to the wire and then do it, Denmark vs Japan is tricky, Japan only need a draw, Denmark seem to let everyone create chances, going for Denmark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HD Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 What's the point of making small bets? It's not real money. I'm betting on Paraguay winning and Paraguay 3-0, Italy winning wasn't great odds so I bet on 1-0, 2-0 and 2-1 wins for them, bet on nothing tonight because it is all up in the air, but on a draw in the NK game, quite fancy them to hold on for 0-0.

Leppard Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I dunno if it's a good thing or bad that I just got home and so didn't bet on the first round of matches for tonight . Going for a Dutch win. 2-0. Sneijder or Elia to score first. Gone all out on a Danish win too! Spent 40k on the two games . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qolumbo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I knew I should stay away from the Italy game. Instead, I put 20K on Paraguay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayArr Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Nope, but I had quite a few bets on a range of things which was a tactic which had been working for a couple of days up to that point. Only one of them came off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayArr Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Bloody Japan, I went for my usual 1k on 1-0, 2-0 and 2-1 bets, but not 3-1. Still, I should have made some profit tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Up to 70th overall but only 14th in OTF. Must be doing well as a league. Also, I've only made 3 bets in a week and moved up 500 places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscillate Wildly Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I am down to about 50K Same here. Reduced to petty cash bets today, which is probably just as well. Rooting for Chile mostly, but with some small punts on FGS here and there (Tae-Se, Sanchez/Valdivia, Robinho) and some £500s on a few scorelines. Annoyingly, my other not-in-this-league account, Lockwood, is 6th overall with over £350,000 in credit. Shame I can't lend my 'proper' account some virtual cash... I hope Italy get stoned in airport baggage collection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qolumbo Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Second round odds are now up and they seem quite modest. This is bad for my strategy of playing somewhat safe in the group stage and then gambling more in the later stages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Maximum bid gone up though? I am expecting that to happen, perhaps 1/4 finals onwards so you can hold onto that strategy for later. Predictions are for 90 mins too IIRC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leppard Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think I benefitted from not betting on the first round of games last night. Out of the 6 bets I had on the second round of games, only the Dutch win came off. Lost about 13k but still top of the OTF league Have bet small on the Cote D'Ivoire and Swiss games but have 20k on Brazil and Spain. Spain better win this!

Qolumbo Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Over 200K. I've decided to take more risks now, starting by betting about 7K on Korea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leppard Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Lost a lot on the Brazil game. Had 20k on it . But Spain winning and Villa FGS made up for it somewhat. Have decided to take risks. So, that's 15k on Uruguay, 20k on a US win. Mon Donovan and Forlan! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1389 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Same as me with the Spain/Villa combo. And had £2k on the 2-1 result. Also had £2k on 3-0 in the IC game. Some of todays games are tough to call, the US vs Ghana game had close odds so I've just bet on some scores. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckus Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 not put any bets on all week, in case you didnt notice the max bet for a win is now 30k i just dumped 30k on usa to win \0/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_oc16 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Stuck a full 30k on Uruguay win earlier, also had 2k on a 2-0 scoreline which obviously didn't come off. For this evenings game I wasn't so sure about so just 15k on USA win and 5k on Ghana win as back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
