Is there any hope that Holland will not make it against Scotland?

Some time ago I posted already that the prices on the favourites these days are getting too attractive and that I am not very keen anymore helping my square friends in Indonesia in getting on for them. Normally a very lucrative business, since one can simply lay off, if it is something that one likes themselves or oppose it and effectively get a much better price, if one is against their selection. Last week I told them already that I want them to open up their own accounts with Indosoccer. This past weekend was the limit. It is as if nothing has changed. There are some big time lunatics out there that for some reason are just desperate to lay the favourite team or back the outsider that simply forces books to offer an attractive price on the favourite. Take this weekend’s match Scotland vs Holland. Books in England will be getting money on Holland, so they have them at 1.61, but Indosoccer puts Holland up at 1.95. –3/4 though, but still better than Hill’s price for them to win. In the old days this match would be 1 goal all over Asia. Anyhow these squares have all been flying recently, so it is a certainty that they want their money on Holland again. Holland has been good to them anyhow apart from their matches against the Czech Republic. They will have forgotten that already, so Holland is the way to go. Now I refuse to bet on Holland myself. I just will not do that, so can someone else please correct that price at Indosoccer to 1 goal at least! Then by the time that my square friends are going to complain that they did not manage to get their own accounts opened in time and want me to put a bet on for them, at least this too attractive price will be gone.

Thanks!

Nordicbet have Holland -1/2 @ 1.9 and Scandic Bookmakers have them @ 1.85. Very nice prices indeed!

I'll be hoping that Holland make it to Portugal - after all they should at least get the chance to make it up for their defeat to Denmark in the 1992 semi-finals

That was indeed a high piece of Dutch overestimation!

Nordicbet have 1.90
Scandic have 1.85
but limit was too low
nordic I think not over 1000 euro
scandic always 150 euro

I think indosoccer have other limits...

This is a really interesting game in my view because the Dutch side simply don't get on with each other and are split along broad Ajax-psv lines. That said I had thought the line would be -1 and Scotland are a bad team no doubt at all....

Pass at the current prices I think

Sky,

You mean those who once were Ajax, and others who once were PSV ? Yes indeed, a very good observation.

I think the line is about fair, should it be -1, that would mean 1.55-1.60 on Holland to win, and remember, Scotland is not Belarus or Moldova. Though I do beleive it will sink till -1, and then I would grab Scotland.

Yesterday I got the call. I knew it! I knew it was going to happen. I had one hand on my face. I needed the other for my mobile. The guy went as could be predicted for 100%:”Sorry, I did not manage yet to transfer any money to Indosoccer. Please allow me to have one more bet, if that is ok”. He was at least polite! He continued:”It will only be a small bet, but I still want to bet it now, because I am afraid that price will be gone soon!”. I could only think of him about to mention my most hated country in football, but he did not. I was so stunned that I even forgot to ask him what he is going to do with Holland.

matahari,

Which one? Because he just phoned again.
He said:"I have a question".
I said:"Go ahead!".
He asked:"May I put on another bet?".
I told him that I can only take Indosoccer's prices, as his bets are too big for smaller books like Nordicbet or Scandic. Again I thought he was finally going to bet on Holland.
I was wrong again. This time he had transferred money to my bank account without reason. I asked him why. He told me that he was testing his KeyBCA. Because I had to ask him this question, I again forgot to ask him about Holland.

Today the day, guys!
My day has been so far:
-This morning an SMS from my square friend in Indonesia that lives on a remote island. He is that good that even matahari wants to know his bets now. I thought: This will be the bet that I have been waiting for the whole week. No, the guy wanted more on Turkey at the same price he backed it already. I sent a message back:"You made the price move!"
-Then a panic call from my flat mate in Jakarta. His first words were:"There is panic in Jakarta". My first thoughts were that there was another bomb attack. I was naieve. Of course it had to do with football. The guy is the main owner of a Dutch bar in Jakarta (Cafe Bugils) and they had planned to broadcast the match on a big screen, but nowhere in the newspaper was written that it will be broadcasted.
-Then when I was on the ferry from HK to Macau I got again a phone call from the remote island. I thought: This really has got to be it, but fvck it not now, because I had no prices with me. So guess what!?!?!? This time he wanted to bet on an English Division Three match! Can you believe this?!?!?! Sorry matahari, I did not even bother asking him which team he wanted to bet on. There was nothing I could do from the boat.

Holland is now giving 1.5 goal only!
I want to bet on them just as an insurance for the fact that they will reach Portugal, if they win the match by 2 goals, BUT they will go to Portugal too, if they win 1-0 and then score during extra time or win the penalties.
I have to stay out of this one.

matahari,
My friend from the exotic island decided to go to Sydney today. He has been begging me the whole week for a bet on the French League for coming weekend. I told him that it is too early for that. I forgot which teams. Since he is in Sydney in the casino now. He asked me, if it is ok, if we settle after he comes back from Sydney on 1 December. He converted all his Rupiahs into Australian Dollars and will try his luck there now.

Oh ja, he did have a "small" bet on Russia!

Scotland +1.75 already taken. After their win on Saturday I honestly believed the books would reconsider, but it looks like it's the public who dictates here, so more of the same and I'm forced to take the same side again.
