Brazil World Cup 2014 - Betting Thread

Rufus is a dogs nameRufus is a dogs name
edited May 2014 in Other Football and Sports
I know there are a couple of other WC threads on here already, but thought it would be good to have one dedicated to odds, tips and betting success (or not)!

A few that have caught my eye:

- Still several places offering Spain at 7/1 to win. Not convinced they will this time around but looking at their ridiculously good squad (just announced) they must surely be there or there abouts with that quality. 7/1 seems very generous to me!

- Given that the South American teams will no doubt have an advantage, Chile at 50/1 are a great e/w shout. Others are Brazil (3/1), Argentina (5/1), Uruguay (28/1), Columbia (33/1).

- The last 2 Golden Boots have been won by players scoring just 5 goals so it really is open! A couple of goals for a player in the early group games and in theory they are almost halfway there.
Favourites are:
Messi (8/1)
Neymar, C Ronaldo (14/1)
Aguero, Suarez (18/1)

Selected others:
Fred (28/1)
Muller, Lukaku (33/1)
Benzema, Van Persie (34/1)
Cavani, Falcao, Negredo (40/1)
Klose, Rooney (50/1)
Torres (74/1)
Giroud, Llorente, Sturridge (80/1)
Dzeko (100/1)
Forlan (150/1)
Goochanejhad (1000/1) :)

- The Winner/Top Scorer double also has some tempting odds, with good reason - it's so tough to predict both!
Argentina/Neymar, Brazil/Fred (66/1)
Spain/Messi, Argentina/Suarez (80/1)
Germany/Klose (100/1)
Spain/Neymar, Spain/Ronaldo (125/1)
Germany/Suarez (150/1)

Anyone else considering throwing their money away this summer? :)

    Ivory Coast to win their group is good odds

    Certainly some good deals floating around. Not sure there is an obvious favourite to win overall despite Brazil winning the Confederations Cup last year.

    Had a £25 free bet with Coral so stuck it on Aguero top scorer at 16s. Fully expect him to get injured in one of the warm up games.

    Meant to say to you, I was looking at Brazil's last 4 or 5 games yesterday and I'm sure Fred has not played. Apparently he was out for 3 months from November to January and had a little setback. Maybe it's worth checking out his stats for his club team from Feb onwards to see if he has played much. Unless you already have then please ignore this post.

    Sterling 24/1 - top English goalscorer

    1 goal against Costa Rica could be enough

    Brazilian league has just begun, and he's got 3 in 4 for Fluminese. I didn't know he was injured before that, but you would imagine as he is fresher than the European players and scoring, he will start.

    I might do it. England doesn't really mean a great deal to me anymore. Same old rubbish form players who couldn't care less. Having said, that I think Roy's players do and it's quite refreshing to see players like Lallana playing to the same level as he does for his cub. Really hope he starts.

    Ok nice one mate may have a little punt on him myself then. 28s now with Sportingbet and the rest are going 25s and 20s You must have really lumped on :)

    Edit all done

    Aguero 16s
    Fred 28s
    Benzema 33s Only did him because France are in a shit group so hoping he can bang a few in before they go out.

    Cheers @ValleyGary‌. As you said, he is likely to start up front (on his own) in a team that is tipped as favourites to go all the way, so on that basis 28/1 for him to be top goalscorer (needing possibly only 5 or 6 goals) is decent odds.

    Also stuck a fiver on Spain at 9/1 to be top-scoring team

    PP offering 3/1 on Brazil, and 3/1 on winner coming from group A. Might as well do the latter.

    Though I'm on
    Argentina at 9/2
    Argentina/Germany final at 12/1
    Brazil to beat Croatia in firsy game by more than 1 (bonus bet from PP)

    Will add accys on qualifying later on.

    I'm all over France in this. Look good in warmups and got a really easy group. Also will have an easy last 16 game if/when they do when there group. Good potential for a cashout depending on there 1/4 final opponents. All over France here at 25's

    Would like an E/W on Chile at 50s but their route looks nigh on impossible. Likely vs Brazil in R16 if they qualify.

    For me there are three outstanding bets.

    Iran not to get a point in their group. 5-2

    I can't see them scoring a goal let alone getting a point and these odds are brilliant.

    Sergio Aguero top scorer in the tournement . 16-1

    Again very big odds. Each way might be a good bet too.

    Finally

    Daniel Sturridge to be Englands top scorer . 3-1

    PP offering a free £5 bet every time your top-scorer player gets a goal (min bet £20). Looks attractive for someone like Aguerro.

    I like the idea of Iran getting 0 points, but you might be better doing an accy on them to lose all three games - almost 4-1.

    The problem I see with that Sturridge bet is England may only score two or three goals in which case who scores them could be quite random.
