I've been all over Brazil who I think will be too strong. Snapped up some of the 5/1 a fortnight ago. Casemiro and Fernandinho as your DM's. A front 3 of Neymar, Jesus and Coutinho with Willian and Firmino in reserve. I like Jesus for top scorer but am worried that Neymar could end up with a fair share of the goals. Neymar for player of the tournament at 12/1 is a great shout IMO
Anybody want to back England Jennings bet, shop in Bexleyheath and Crayford are offering 19.66/1 on England. They are also doing an offer that if Spain, Russia Uruguay or Sweden win the World Cup, you will get money back on any single bet upto £100. So back England with a small chance of money back.
I’ve seen Saudi Arabia being touted at almost 10/1 to beat Russia. I think that is a cracking price.
But you're forgetting Russia are the hosts and the Федеральная служба безопасности Российской Федерации (or FSB as we know them) are very, very scary and know where the ref's family lives.

clearly you have never heard of a player called john stones
Here are my World Cup spread bets,for people not familiar with spread betting if you want what you bet on to win you ‘buy’ and if you want what you bet on to lose you ‘sell’. Outright betting 100 pts winners 75 pts runners up 50 losing semi finalists 25 losing quarter finalists 10 last 16 losers 0pts knocked out at group stage
Argentina buy 35.5 (trade out if in quarter final) Belgium buy 35 (trade out if in semi final) Brazil buy 46 Colombia sell 15.5 Croatia sell 16 Denmark buy 11.5. (trade out if in quarter final) England buy 28. (trade out if in quarter final) France buy 40 Germany buy 45. (trade out if in final) Spain buy 41.5 Switzerland buy 10. (trade out if in last 16)
Only got the individual matches to look at now..............................! Good luck to everyone and all there bets
wow you have gone hard here Killer, i assume your outlay is quite a bit initially but will be offset when teams hit where you expect them. Is that spread betting or similar?
I’m still looking shag..................! Just hope it don’t completely tits up.........but will still enjoy every minute of it if it does
Yeh I keep looking too , I'm sure i'll put a few more on before tomorrow . Sold the world cup hamper
I remember the 2010 world cup someone had the bright idea of buying goalkeeper punches , watching it in a pub cheering when the keeper punched the ball got us a few strange looks
Must admit I’ve looked at the hamper but haven’t played yet
Yes Johnny all very frightening at the moment but plenty of trade outs and that is spread betting
I think the best bet is selling Russia in there group as I can’t see them winning the group so you make a profit if they finish second,third or fourth.......the lower the better
Dont like the idea of that. So Ronaldo scores 7 tournament goals all in the first 10 mins, he will lose money compared to if Falcao scores one in the 88th minute?

I'd go again this year looking at the way the ball is moving.. keepers not taking many chances.

You've just made me realise why I look back misty eyed at the stupendously good Brazilians of 1970. The players you list are all well known, almost household names, no surprises, no shocks, no 'wow what a player'.
Apart from Pele and maybe Tostao, I had never heard of the likes of Rivelino, Jairzinho and Carlos Alberta as they all played in Brazil. Somehow the mystique has gone although there is still nothing better than 11 men in that famous yellow kit showing the world how to play football.

I'm very tempted on a Ramos red card first game now (more so than I was before anyway) can't seem to find anywhere offering odds so far though
