World Cup 2014 Thread...

i am backing german until semi-final. besides, if you want more fun, you can arbitrage your odds but it's a hassle and normally not worth it. you must know from a trading perspective, it's better to back teams like germany rather than some odd ball team, think of probability, i think this can help you.

You will be rewarded financially for backing me and my team. We will invite you to have some beers with us this Oktoberfest.

it's possible, last world cup, my friend makan all the way and made profits.

He supported spain cos you say he makan all the way? So you must have put in a huge amount to make up for the low odds.

Most likely have to sit tonight out.

Exercise maximum restrain?

Will usually only take a position when I see mis-pricing of the odds like the Russia-S Korea match.

Odds of Chile makan 1.5 looking decent for now

 

[McDonaldsKid]

Netherlands -1.5 or Over 2.5 goals? If Netherlands high chance of winning by 2 clear goals then no need to hedge right? -1.5 higher odds.

Spain-Chile, likely Chile +1.5. Not sure will be over or under though. feeling could be 2-1, but if 1-1 than LL.

Cameroon-Croatia. Cameroon +1.5, likely low scoring so under.

Thoughts?

 

[aurvandil]

Only interested if Chile makan 1.5 @ 1.65 or better. Also looking for a synthetic Chile makan 0.5.

With the large number of people looking to play 'makan' today after yesterday's double draws, don't think I will get it. Will know by 2 pm when the crowd goes for lunch and then place their bets.

I noticed that the odds tend to inch up in the evening. I bought Belgium-1.5 at 1.75 in the morning and 1.85 in the evening.

Not that it helped anyway. :rollseyes:

Cameroon - Croatia : Over 2.5

2-1 either way?

 

[Equalisation]

2-1 either way?

No lah. Total goals of 3 or more, you win !

Odds wise, the Australia-Netherlands match is boring for me. Ditto for Cameroon-Croatia.

The one which is of interest is the Spain-Chile match. Spain's 5-1 defeat have caused a lot of uncles to lose money. Half have written Spain off. The other half thinks Spain will come back charging. The results of the Mexcio-Brazil match and to a less extent the Russia-S Korea match will weigh on sentiment. Expecting lots of people to buy draws or "makan balls".

Most likely have to sit tonight out.

In Spain-Netherlands, at least 2 goals were due to mistakes by the Spain goalkeeper. I would say had they not lost their morale totally, the score would likely have been 2-1 in favour of Netherlands.

I seriously do not think the Aussies can score tonight.

The rest I will makan balls.

Holland pang and over.

Makan Spain and over.

Makan Croatia and over.

Huat ah!

 

[GramStroker]

Makan Croatia and over.

This game is a big question mark.
Eto playing or not still in the air, team morale still low.
Big chance of kelong.

Wait last minute hear the 'wind sound'

if you eat ball, you should buy under goals. the unexpected result ( eat ball ) would be more likely to be a low-scoring game. you just want to bet from all angles ?

Yes, usually punters eat and under. Give and over. But ball is round.
