World Cup 2014 Thread...

I would take comments here with a grain of salt when no one back their words with evidence. In one forum I was reading, there was one guy posting all his bets ($500 - $1000) before the match and he was winning thousands of dollars. Needless to say, most members there are following his bets. I am not a gambler otherwise I too might have won a bit.:)


Do not post the amount you bet.

If you do that in a stock day trading forum the moderators will kick you out double quick timing.

This is not a stock day trading you moron.. This is a forum where people can post whatever they want. If you don't like it, it is your fucking problem, not theirs.

The group stage of the 2014 World Cup has concluded and half of the 32 teams have gone home — including those assembled by the tournament's three highest paid managers. Meanwhile, the team led by the tournament's lowest paid manager is not only still in it, but he has arguably become the tournament's breakout star.
Here's the full list of what every World Cup manager is making this year as compiled by Forbes...

After resigning from the England job in 2012, Fabio Capello took up the Russia post and led it to the top of its 2014 World Cup qualifying group — edging out Portugal. At the start of this year, he was given a fat new contract that won't run out until after Russia hosts the 2018 World Cup. This year alone the five-time Serie A winner (as a manager) and two-time La Liga winner is making $11.2 million, which is nearly double what his England successor, Roy Hodgson, is making ($5.9 million).

Though Capello did manage to outdo Hodgson in Brazil — last in the group with two draws and one loss as opposed to last in the group with one loss and two draws — it wasn't quite the return on investment Russia likely expected. Especially in a manageable group that also included Belgium, Algeria and South Korea.
At least the third highest paid manager, Italy's Cesare Prandelli, offered to resign immediately after his side was eliminated. And he even got a win (against England)!
[Slideshow: Behind the scenes with Team USA in Brazil]
All together, only half of the top 10 best paid managers at this World Cup navigated their teams through to the knockout stage. But pulling up the rear of the list is Mexico's Miguel Herrera, who celebrated his way into the hearts of fans everywhere while leading a once hopeless El Tri through an undefeated group stage for the bargain price of $209,810.
Herrera's situation is a bit different though. He was appointed as an emergency interim manager last October when Mexico was on the verge of completely missing out on qualification. Once that horror was narrowly avoided, he signed on through the end of the World Cup, so his salary isn't for the full year. It seems likely that the Mexican federation would be willing to give him anything he wants after what he's done so far, but even if he doesn't get a pay increase, he can always subsidize his income with his ska lip syncing. Somehow.
 
Uruguay will go all out to strangle the game. They will prob use their defensive 4/5/1 configuration they used against England. Without Suraz, that config will keep goals out but not have very much teeth.

For Colombia, they will prob play the 4/5/1 which they used against Greece. They won that match against Greece (3-0) which leads me to suspect they will be able to force an early goal and spread the game open.

The team I therefore makan 0.5 ball is Colombia. The hedge is over.

I was hoping to do something for the Brazil-Chile match. It however appears that many uncles are less than impressed with Brazil. Pools is sitting happy and not offering any odds I can work with.

Uruguay lost a key player ... Suspect they will not perform
 
Chile have conceded 11 goals in their three meetings with Brazil at the World Cup finals, an average of 3.7 per game.

Brazil have scored two or more goals in each of their last nine matches against Chile, netting 32 in the process (3.6 per game).
 
Uruguay have won six of their last eight encounters with Colombia (D1 L1).

Nine of Colombia’s last 11 goals at the World Cup have been scored in the second-half.
 
My first bet will be Brazil to win, with a small hedge on "draw".

Colombia I haven't decided how to bet, but will likely favour Colombia to win.

Over/under bets will be v v v small (if any)

How about doing a 80/20 or 70/30 hedge? The former to bet on "sure" win team and the latter to bet on a more risky position. If your view is correct, the winning on the former might just offset the losing from the latter or might even derives a slight positive return. Or worse come to worse, all or nothing by the end of the day. Just my 2 cents, better than go naked bet.
