Johnnygotthebone Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I got 28-1 to win I got 19-1 to make final I got 15-1 semi final I got 10-1 quarter final I bet 250€ I also bet 250€ on stupid Spain! Anyone else pick them? Fiekie247 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiekie247 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well all African countries are of the race basically. I was kinda upset that Nigeria did not make the cut as I felt they really deserved it more than Argentina. To be honest - I think Belgium is the one to take the cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValDes Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 As much as I did support the team of Uruguay so far, I don't really think they stand a serious chance winning the World Cup to be honest... France and Brazil seem to be the only serious pretenders IMHO, but you never know when it comes to football. Let the best one win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe even i dont watch it that much i choose Croatia (my hubby was laughing at me )and my hubby has the same opinion as Guru but he mentioned Belgium i think has nice chance but yes... will see who picked right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocopop3011 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I didn't pick any teams to win and I don't usually follow football but after last nights performance I think England could make it to the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnygotthebone Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 france has that 19 year old kid. But..... Uruguay defence will stop him. Croatia will choke Belgium beat Japan??? Yippeee. Brazil is a power house. England lucked out against Colombia. Russia oh brother! Uruguay will win it. 100000000% I called it from January. Made bet in May. 28-1. I was stupid not to bet more.

How about all of us in the forum make a Bet - Whoevers team wins, win it all. Lets say 10 euro and you choose a team. If Leo or Johnny, Or Pinnit, Or valdes or Afi, or Coco team win, everyone transfer their $10 to the relevant winner? Sounds like a plan, something to keep the forum excited maybe?

Afi4wins Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Naaaah...football is not for me! I like watching it though...but bet on who wins? Whichever team wins...they win...and I'm happy for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinnit2015 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It’ll take a lot to beat me getting Greece at 150-1 in 2004 ;-) Afis a hard man to please :-p Glad Switzerland went out - reckon there were a few brown envelopes passed around given some of their decisions :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afi4wins Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well, I'm not that hard to please at all...just need the right topic, that's all.

Yeah, it's always looking so easy when it comes from your mouth Johnny and yet, you seem to be not so good at predictions/systems/etc so far... Still, wish you good luck with your crazy bet for Uruguay, that would be a bet to remember here for a long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tenner so got a grand and a half back. It’ll probably never happen again. If you want massive outsiders then golfs your games ;-) cocopop3011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, wish you good luck with your crazy bet for Uruguay, that would be a bet to remember here for a long time! Actually... sports betting, especially hockey and American football have made me a pretty penny. Not worried about Uruguay, I’m already ahead on the bet. I’ll probably get the 28-1 but more importantly, Mr Trump has to not get impeached, win his reelection and finish his term without death. 400-1 on an English website. 100£ bet last year. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember betting on a horse in the grand national 54/1 - never in a million years thought it would win so I only chucked £1 on it....Oh how I wish I'd just bet more when it came in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinnit2015 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I normally go with an outsider... this year it was Senegal. But they were shocking. What Johnny?! 400 to stay alive, get re-elected (both are linked) and not be impeached (which he won’t be). You sure it wasn’t some back alley bookies that gave you that? :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnygotthebone Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 It is really sad when a player decides to throw the game for money! It’s very sad when they do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinnit2015 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Well it is FIFA, an organisation with such a dubious past, that even a good scrub of carbolic soap wouldn't clean them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnygotthebone Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 I’m so discouraged. Even though I made some money. Brazil missing shots like that???? U kidding???? France will annihilate Belgium. If they lose then it’s a fix from day one! Croatia in the final??? Wow. I’m hoping it’s a French English final. Should be fun. A tale of two cities.

pinnit2015 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I've got $$$ (though not much) on Belgium - not the best team I've seen in years though. If it's England, I'm going to have to emigrate. We've been listening about '1966' in the UK for, well, since 1966. I always like it when a football country win it - for that reason, not france (more a rugby nation) And lest not forget - in 2026 the World Cup's in USA/Canada/Mexico. Going between games between the US and Mexcio's gonna be a bit of a pain with that imaginary wall in place. England v Russia would have been a good one. Diplomatic relations at an all time high - hopefully the English Team brought pack lunches, you never know what would get put in the food ValDes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValDes Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I still believe France is the only real World Cup contender out there... Time will tell though, but till then - Good Luck to all those who have been betting on World Cup matches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
