You play mahjong you no chio wan ah....:p:p... next time ok huat ah....

Oy! Where are today's predictions? :p

 

[jw5]

You could tell both teams were very tired after the match. Very hot and humid conditions in Fortaleza.
Ghana could have snatched it at the end.

This type of match is the bestest. Can't stand those cagey, tactical, tiptoe, scaredycat, tiki-taka, trying to pass around the parked bus type shit.....................

Going to makan all but thinking of over/under for some matches.

Belgium/Russia under
Korea/Algeria under
USA/Portugal over

Opinions?

I will follow you on

Korea/Algeria under
USA/Portugal over

 

[Sideswipe]

Belgium/Russia and Korea/Algeria seem like draws. Portugal win.

 

[krafty]

wait later the nigerian football team sent you email telling you that you are the lost prince that they have been searching for years...but you have to pay them money first...

Super Eagles have more to play for than just collecting three points. They won it for the bomb blast victims of terror attacks which killed 14 Nigerians and 26 injured.

Too bad i can't bet on WC matches.

It is not normal to bet makan and under. If you go through the likely scenarios for the match, you will find the overall position for such a combo is unbalanced. Better to go with just makan OR under.

Cheers, aurvandil. Probably go with makan now. Seems to be the safest bets tho winnings not very high.

 

[McDonaldsKid]

My bet for today: USA makan 1/2 ball + over 2.5 goal.

If you dont mind me asking, what's the rationale for this?

Also, are your bets equal for both or do you hedge?

Thanks in advance.

 

[LEGEND]

Under/Over/Under. Hoot Ah!

Belgium/Korea/USA. Hoot Ah!

 

[aurvandil]

The main bet is the USA makan. The over is the hedging bet.

The counter part to this is Favourite pang + under 2.5 goal.
A good example of when to use this is the Argentina-Iran match.

You pang Argentina because they are heavily favored to win.
You however hedge your bet with under 2.5 goal because they are playing Iran who uses a unique 0-0-11 formation.

LOL!

I was really surprised Iran held off the giants of football until the 90+1 minute injury time. If not for Messi I would have won money on that game. I had a small bet on "draw" purchased at good odds. Messi just had to screw me at the 91st minute and spoil my fun :-( :-(

it is all strategically planned
you can see for yourself
a big kelong game
economically motivated to full effect
german tank suddenly ran out of precious fuel
hahhaaa...this world cup funny without england leh
no fun liao..spain out...

 

[Lionheart]

Ghana Kelong lah.
When the whole world expected them to lose, they put in their best. When they are expected to win, they lost.

this world cup will be another fishing pond
no difference from the others

next round should be a little better

 

[Lionheart]

Actually Germany doesn't have a convincing record against Ghana wiser to makan. Last WC only won 1-0 so not surprising result. ARG confirm super kelong lucky didn't bet.

Tonight be careful if want to take Belgium. Again they are favorites due to many BPL players but to me not that convincing. Safer to makan.

it's all a game
you can see
anyhow kick anyhow head anyhow shoot
all one big fishing pond
no fun liao

watch harikiri round better
