Ghana 60:1

I added some Ghana World Cup futures at 60:1 to go with the 35:1 on Uruguay. Both of these teams are in the same pod (with the United States) and should either make the semis, we can start to pull out some equity by betting on their opponent to advance. Of course, If the US [...]

Games to Avoid

Basically the rest of the group phase. I’ve got nothing for the next day or two. Declan Hill: It is the time for the fixes. Here is what I know. The fixers are in South Africa. They have been desperately trying to contact various teams. They have various runners and old contacts coming in and [...]

One Non-Soccer Pick

SF Giants @ Houston Astros (+126) – Two Units Oswalt has been much better recently, not that he has really been bad at any point.  And the Giants have been struggling.

Group A Bets

Kickoff is in under an hour… South Africa PK +170 vs. France is on strike Going with the point spread here. This will push on a draw. I have a small amount on SA +280 straight up as well. Uruguay/Mexico o2 +175 I’ll be livebetting this one and putting my 100% live betting record at [...]

World Cup

If you bet money based on my World Cup picks last week, whoops.  Made five bets and the best result I had was a push.  If I had been betting One Hundo a pop on those picks I would be down a smooth 4 bills at this moment.  So let’s try to win it back!  [...]

World Cup Week 2

Adding some more action no doubt spurred by the increase in scoring that was inevitable, even if it was hard to profit from some of the scoring.  We took a bad beat taking Australia/Ghana o2.5 +165 when there was no scoring after Harry Kewell’s red card and subsequent penalty prior to the half hour mark.  [...]

World Cup Action

Snooze

16 games, 32 teams, 25 goals.  Betting the under in every game would have given you a 13-1-2 record so far.  The only over to hit was Germany’s 4-0 win over Australia.  Brazil/North Korea pushed on a 3 goal line and Greece/South Korea did the same at 2.  8 games were 0-0 at halftime. Uruguay [...]

World Cup Betting

The World Cup just kicked off 45 minutes ago with South Africa and Mexico tied 0-0 at half.  Some various bets I’m recommending so far: Uruguay to win Group A +350 This one is already off the board as Group A starts today, but this was also available at +400.  Even odds for a team [...]
