fuck this. in last 18 hours I've needed the player with the worst disciplinary record in the whole tournament to get booked. Nope. The best player in the world to score one frigging goal. Nope.
has anyone tried the paddy power 1 million pound drop thing? You get one free go, a million quid, 20 yes or no questions about games (eg mexico germany will both teams score? and you lock in the money on what you think will happen, if you're right you keep that money to the next round) keep as much money as you can and win whatever you have at the end of the 20 questions and you are allowed to split the money between both options.
I only discovered this yesterday but I have managed to keep the million up to question 4 so far - I worked out that technically if I get to question 6 and then split the money in half for every question after it it's a garaunteed 75 quid which ain't bad for a freebie -of course your eyes light up when you get higher up so it's whether you have the nerve to go for higher or play it safe after that!
Its a really fun way to "bet" though I must admit.
My million at the moment is on the line I need no goals for the first 34 minutes in the Korea Sweden game.
tricky next question for me... Belgium/panama will there be a goal in the first 24 minutes.
Tempted to split 50/50 and hope for a more clear cut next question (although that will be on the England game )the way i'm looking at it I need to go all in on at least 2 more questions to get a result - would be happy with 75 quid ish for a free punt though.

All in on yes, Belgium should breeze past Panama and they will want to get off to a quick start.
Personally think Belgium will get an early goal. I think the England game will be something like England to score 3 or more, maybe goal in first 24 minutes again

No more world cup bets for me i'm done.
Massive sign in Window
Germany and Brazil to win both matches to have over 1.5 goals 2/1.
Just thought I would put it out there as that seens like easy money(i wont be betting on it for obvious reasons)
Congratulations!
A fair price on Brazil and over 1.5 is about 3/4.
Combine the two and you get a fair price of a shade under 9/4.
So not the worst bet in the world but the bookies still have their margin priced in there. :-)
Brazil AND Germany fouling up...
De Bryune, Coutinho, Ronaldo, Messi and Eriksen to all score outside the box.
Coutinho & Ronaldo have so far so come on you 3 and pull ya finger out!!
