Wednesday
It is my hope that this World Cup educates Americans as to why draws (aka ties) are a suitable result for a low scoring game. The US draw against Portugal was gut-wrenchingly awful, yet the same result against Germany would be a definite success. Smart money is staying away from the early games tomorrow. I am 2-0 this World Cup with Argentina still alive. No baseball today as the line move on the Cubs did not go our way.
WC today
Honduras +1 at +130 and Under 2.5 +130 (v Swiss)
Iran/Bosnia Over 2.5 +150
Dzeko to score +110
Tuesday
Just brilliant with the biting winner and Colombia/Uruguay should be an excellent matchup. Easy winner in baseball last night. Long may it continue. Oakland (Kazmir) @ Mets (Colon) +117
1-0 for the World Cup as England did not advance. Kudos to anyone who had Costa Rica winning the group.
Bet of the year
And no, it’s not Ivory Coast -115 (which I like today)

Monday
No plays over a quiet weekend. Should be some more World Cup from me once the second round gets underway. One baseball play tonight Dodgers (Greinke) @ Royals (Guthrie) -101
World Cup Today
Australia +550
Chile/Holland Over 2.5 at -130
Interesting tidbit on the overs; in the group stage in 2010, 53 goals were scored. In 2014? Already in the late 90s.
21 of 32 World Cup matches have gone over the total, and 73% of bettors are on the Over 2.5 goals for #NEDvsCHI: http://t.co/VzZMkmCqBA

And if you hate money, bet on the Mexico/Croatia game.
U-S-A!
World Cup bets today:
Belgium +110 (betting against Fabio Capello is always a profitable decision)
USA +280
Sunday story: Some guy had a 350k miracle cover thanks to Messi
Go USA!!!!
Friday
Arizona lost yesterday 4-1. No plays today. San Diego is a leaner but with their perpetual total of 6.5 they are a pass. No totals sadly.
