Had a lucky 31 with Honduras, Iran, Algeria, Australia, Costa Rica no goal scorers (only 25p stake total of £7 odd but wins £1100 if all 5 happen)

Acca on Aguero, Balotelli, Muller, Suarez top team scorers @ 138/1

England, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Argentina, France group winners @ 68/1

Mexico, Portugal, England, Nigeria, Ecuador, Chile to qualify @ 51/1

I used a £5 free bet I had on Brazil to win 4-0 tonight at 66/1, odds just went down to 14/1 a few minutes after I made the bet. If Brazil win 4-0 do I still get the payout at 66/1? Complete noob at this betting lark.

Yeah when you make the bet your odds are taken from what it was when you placed it. If the odds change after you place it then it doesn't effect your bet.

I like Corals market of how many goals will be scored by individual teams in the group stages. I had a few £20 free bets and put one of them on this:

- Holland to score 4 or more in the group stages

- Ivory Coast to score 4 or more in the group stages

- England to score 4 or more in the group stages

- Argentina to score 7 or more in the group stages

- Portugal to score 5 or more in the group stages

Returns £474.92

nice bet

awesome. Got to remember that.

For the first game- my mug bet is I think Brazil will win comfortably. Croatia not so acquinted with the climate, and missing Mandzuric so miss maybe a score outlet. So I reckon Brazil 2-0, or 3-1. But I'm probably overlooking how much pressure there is on the hosts and that may have it's effect.

I got 3-1, fluky bugger. Don't suppose anyone had neymar first goal scorer- and 3-1.

Have landed the Brazil/BTTS of my Minnow Method double with Mexico game tomorrow.

Is it worth doing with Brazil though? I was under the impression it's better to do it with teams who are at least around evens?

I'm crazy and think Holland might be able to draw. So I've gone Netherlands(+1)/Chile(-2) double. Mexico-Cameroon I'm staying away from, Mexico dodgy as hell in qualification + Cameroon are a bit of an unknown quantity. If I had to go for a bet- soccerbase recommends the draw.

Won't be surprised at all if Holland draw. Defending champions have only won 53% of their opening games, the other 47% is divided equally with draws and losses.

Can't remember if I did goals or points. But if I did I goals I should have acknowledged Chile being the worst defence in S America.

That is why I never took the aforementioned bet. Chile are so attacking they are bound to leave gaps in their defence.

Spain at 13.5. Surely 1 game hasn't changed that much? They should still qualify and should still be a danger. Yes they got humped today but I can't see them letting that happening again.

Van Persie to score anytime vs Spain, Sanchez to score anytime vs Australia . Double 9/1.

Not bad but I'm not confident that Van Persie will score against Spain.

Anyone do this? I didnt :o

I genuinely thought that Spain would keep a clean sheet how wrong was I?

Just replied in the other thread but I agree.

Game should have been 2-0 if Silva didn't try and be a cheeky ****. Personally think they would have seen it out then and that will be a huge wake up call too.

3 wins for me so far:

Neymar - 3-1 - £5 @35/1 = £180

Alexis Sanchez FGS - £5 @4/1 = £25

11 to 20 first goal Chile vs Australia - £2.50 @4/1 = £12.50

2 seconds less on the last one and I'd have lost!

Also got £20 on Edin Dzeko to score 4 or more goals at 20/1 and £1 on England to win the World Cup at 1966/1 :D
