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.
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.
World Cup Today 6/19
First, I’d like to recommend a trend for live bettors (such as myself) for these WC games, especially in venues like Manaus (which is in the Amazon) and Brasilia (near a mountain), where either the humidity is often VERY high, or the altitude is high, and that trend is second half scoring.
In this WC, we have already had 6 comebacks. Also, the majority of the goals have been scored in the second half. This is mostly due to fatigue, and as the second games loom, teams moving forward because they need a win rather than a result (see: Australia v NED yesterday, by far the most exciting game so far this WC).
So when the game starts, take a look at the “second half to be highest scoring half” line and take a plunge. I made a nice 25 unit score during the Cameroon v Croatia games as that line was +250 (and this was before Arsenal’s Alex Song got that god awful red card at the end of the 1st half…so make sure you take it early). On a side note, Croatia v Mexico looking to be like a great game.
I am angry I missed betting against Spain yesterday. Chile was essentially playing a home game against futbol’s version of the 2012 Boston Celtics (a once great team with old geezers and a key missing defensive part like Puyol).
Here are my bets today:
Ivory Coast +280
Uruguay v England Under 2.5 +110 (and will also hedge second half with over goals)
Japan +110 and the draw at +250
I leave you with this wonderful vine from the Spurs parade yesterday. Gotta love Pop being a dick:

Wednesday
No baseball again today. Sox were an easy 8-2 winner last night because Matt Cain has morphed into Marco Estrada over the past 6 weeks. Soccer is easier with wingers.
