    Over 4 asian cards in Hondarus v Ecuador (11pm) for me. If there's 4 that'll be a refund, places like bet365. Benjamin Williams the referee, who's Australian, is a no nonsense ref and won't take constantly niggling fouls throughout. He's brandished something like 39 cards in his last 9 matches. This is his first match of the World Cup and can see him stamping his authority onto it. The last head to head (a friendly!) had 2 reds and 2 yellows, and obviously we all saw Hondarus vs England and their first game of the WC. Shouldn't be a problem for a minimum refund.

    Not the most secure of markets but 10/11 it's hard to refuse.

    Plus both managers/coaches used to manage the other country - could be tasty.

    Under 1.5 goals in Honduras v Ecuador at 3/1 with Sky Bet.

    I think the 11-4 for a red card is a great bet too.

    Put £25 on England to win last night on betfair (refunding losing bets as a free bet if England lost) stuck it on costa Rica at 6/1. Not a bad result but Christ it was disappointing.

    Annoying if he only gets a few minutes (or seconds) on the pitch as the line would stand but you wouldn't stand much of a good chance! Best hope is an injury to Giroud or similar/him not getting any minutes at all.

    The odds are about right. That's a result rush bet where you back both teams to score as well as one team to win.

    Would never have backed the Dutch. Fair play.

    Took a while for the 5th but free rolling for a while, nice and secure.

    There have been minimal sending offs in this world cup so far but good luck with that one.

    Who is up on money so far from world cup betting?

    Im about £60 up taking advantage of the Paddy Power Live Trebles bets. You bet on winner, corners and bookings index. It keeps me entertained til the very end too. £5 a pop... usually about 15/2

    Your right but Cameroon are a team in disarray and i expect some late/rash tackles on the Brazilians with the crowd putting pressure on the ref to show a red.

    Won't know until the end of the tournament but likely to have lost money so far…

    Having said that I've just put a few bets on the Spain v Aus game:

    Spain to score 2+ in the first half 5/2
    First goal to be scored in the first ten minutes 11/4
    No Australia goalscorer 5/4
    Spain to win both halves 21/10


    SkyBet are refunding bets if Spain don't win this game.
