Luis Suarez has a future in corporate PR:

Columbia -105

Cub Swanson/Jeremy Stephens Over 4 Rounds EVEN

World Cup Today

Interesting intel here from Twellman about today’s game in Recife:

I have since taken the under 2.5 at +110, and also the draw at +210 and two results: Germany 1-0 at (13-2) and the Draw at 1-1 (4-1)

Also as a side note, the Russia-Algeria game was my pre-tourney pick of “game most likely to be fixed” – but these teams actually play for something today!  Also have been mildly impressed by Algeria, and have taken them at +220.

We’ll end with Pat Darts’ fav twitter account:

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)

It’s this below:

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.

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.
