First Game pick. Mexico at South Africa

[Coaster]

As an obvious rookie to this forum I'd like to say, this is a classy place.
No "your effin' nuts" or "screw you knobhead"

Just good quality input.

Don't expect a ref giving out cheapies as this is the WORLD stage, and the opener.
Never thought players might take a bribe? Hard to imagine how much they would pay 'em?

Still I like Mex.
I see the line is now -118........somebody like's my pick.

GL this world cup to all.......I'll continue to be around.

I hope you win your wager. It just makes me nervous when under normal circumstances, Mexico would be -200. Now they are -110.

It just would make me nervous putting mony on Mexico.

I think South Africa will have very tight sphincters.
If any team has pressure on them, it would be SA
They are not very good and they know it.

I know sports but not this one. Just MHO.

I took Mexico PK -120 for 2 units just in case... Over 2.5 for a unit.... and exact score Mexico 2-1. BOL

 

[Coaster]

Not sure what the FIFA rankings are worth but...........

Latest has:

Mexico #17 895pts
S.A. #83 393pts


I base my whole pick on........ Mexico has acclimatization in their favour, and should be a huge favorite except the home team is SA

See ya all in the AM.......then we'll know if I am a dufuss or not. lol

im thinking about mex but im going with the under.. South Africa is playing at home with all that they will be nervous and mex is average with no really threat so i say 0-0 or 1-0 mexico just for coaster sakes since he owes me a few cold ones.. good luck everyone and will someone get hot after day 1 so i can tail. hope its you coaster

hahaha...like I ever tali the Rodfather

You are speaking of the spread line. If the game is a tie at the end of regulation, it is a push not a loss. If you play them on the moneyline and the game is a tie at the end of regulation, you lose because on the moneyline there is a draw option. Regulation time includes extra injury time added.

thank you OMT for the explanation

I think Mexico would be a bigger favorite than -200 in a neutral venue.

Its not that easy. In the long run, that is not a winning strategy.

InSpades is right, but if you're interested in this, get a matchbook account. They have lines on teams not to win, with a price. Therefore, you don't have to bet both the draw and the opposite team. I think, for this morning, South Africa was like -220 not to win and Mexico was like -140 not to win. Both would've won in the event of a draw.

Sister kisser.
Happy to get the draw and lucky to get it also.
Great 2nd half.

Working on a winner. lol

Thanxs for the input.
