Brazil World Cup 2014 - Betting Thread

Rufus is a dogs name · May 2014

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.

The Red Robin · May 2014

England not to win a game 50/1.

ValleyGary · May 2014

Fred top scorer was 33/1 at Coral

Dzecko to be Bosnia top scorer 6/4 + Bosnia to get knocked out in QF's 6/1

Argentina to win it

MrOneLung · May 2014

Just remember Brazil due to face runners up of Spain/Netherlands group in first knockout stages.

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.

stackitsteve · May 2014

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.

Dave2l · May 2014

Brazil to Win outright 3/1.

The rest your looking at 5s, 6s...Netherlands at 25s along with the french.

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.

sam3110 · May 2014

Benzema, Fred, Cavani and Sanchez are my top goalscorer bets

Brazil, Holland, Columbia, Uruguay, Ecuador, Nigeria, Portugal and Belgium to qualify for the knockouts, big acca there

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

shirty5 · May 2014

Leave Suarez out of any bets. May not be involved after a knee op

Covered_End_Lad · May 2014

I've got tenner on Brazil to win the World Cup and Aguero to win golden boot @ 80-1

IdleHans · June 2014

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.

Frontline9 · June 2014

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

IdleHans · June 2014

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

Bedsaddick · June 2014

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.

killer kish · June 2014

Racing Post doing a World Cup betting pull out in June 5th paper.At the moment i like the look of England going out in the quarters

creepyaddick · June 2014

I'm gonna be backing the japanese at various stages throughout the tournament
I've git a feeling they're gonna come good

The Red Robin · June 2014

SkyBet are doing money back on outright winner bets it Brazil win it.

The Red Robin · June 2014

Just got France 22/1 to win it and Iran to lose all 3 games at 12/5.

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.
