so 0-3 on mexico parlays for another 1k right?


Yes, I am my own nemisis.......can't wait until NFL kicks off to play some 8 team parlays for $25 a pop, they pay nice when you hit them.

I will hit a parlay in this world cup, the question is when?

I need Costa Rica to win in regulation here.......

Thanks Big Tosh.......

I need to just bet the team to advance from now on because these draws in regulation are killers unless you're betting the draw.

2 draws out of the 1st four games of the knockout round, that's nuts! There hasnt been more than 1 draw in the 1st round of 16 going back to 1986 but now we have 2, lol........crazy!

There has never been more than 4 draws out of 16 games going back to 1986 with the average world cup having 3 draws in 16 games & now we have 2 out of the first 4 games, lol!

That's going back to 7 world cups........let's see how the rest of the tournament unfolds........

So +1050 now with a boatload on Colombia futures? I have hit two 5 teamers, but Brazil draw vs Mex and Italy loss to the ticos was a huge kick in the junk... As had them both straight too... Anddd sie German draw too.

Which team is likely to draw in qtrs: Germany, France, or Argentina?

GL.

+750 with plays pending.......I've taken a tumble thanks to Brazil going into overtime.

Parlays have cost me over -$1,500 but I will still play them.


Adding 5 team parlay:


France (-500), Germany (-825), Argentina (-425), USA (-180) all to advance & Colombia +1/2 (-103).......$200 to win $1,634.37

The draw hits about 28% in this round of the cup. I think you may be missing something because I believe there have been ten draws in the round of 16 in the last four WC's with at least two in each of those tournaments during this round.

I lost -$300 on Costa Rica, thanks to Greece scoring in the 90th minute, what else is new in this world cup? LoL!


As for who else can draw? The way this world cup is going, who knows.

I thought France vs Nigeria could draw but with 2 draws out of 4 games, hmm......tough. If you like a game, forget about betting the a team to win in regulation, pay the extra juice & bet to advance.

Yes, I do like Colombia a lot & have them in futures & in parlays & straight up. Since Brazil is playing in Brazil in front of their home crowd, I wouldn't be surprised if the game went to extra time.

I also like USA a lot on Tuesday........

Erok, I think you misread my statement or I wrote it wrong, here's what I have:


These draws are only for entire round of 16 tournaments.....

2010: 2 draws......2006: 4 draws.......2002: 2 draws.......1998: 3 draws......1994: 3 draws........1990: 4 draws.......1986: 3 draws

I think you may be missing matches the ended during extra time, which would be scored as draws at the end of 90 minutes+stoppage time. I'm showing draws during the knockout stages as such:

2010: 4, 2006: 6, 2002: 4, 1998: 4, 1994: 4, 1990: 8 and 1986: 5

Still no feel on the USMNT game other than my mind saying Belgium. Heart says US, but they have been awfully lucky. After stealing the game from Ghana, they could have been down 2 or 3 vs Portugal, only if not for a brilliant strike n then having game ripped away from them.

Key in that game will be Fabian Johnson v hazard. Bradley should have a decent game this go around.

I can't see USA scoring vs that solid black line and world class GK, but also said same thing against Portugal even without Pepe and coentrao

Hmm......I guess I will have to go back & look but will take your word for it, thanks Erok.......

I guess I will expect more draws to come..........I'm definitely betting the rest of the way for teams to advance!

3 out of the 4 games that have been played in the knockout round have been nothing but luck for the winning team coming in the final minutes with penalty kicks & whatever else that can possibly happen but I think we will see more excitement & craziness as the tournament progresses.......

Final score, USA 2-1 over Belgium (hopefully)

4 team long shot parlay:


Argentina vs Swiss draw (+315), Belgium (-105), Colombia +1/2 (-105), Costa Rica +1 (-115).......$100 to win $2,988.46


Sticking Belgium in there in case USA folds like Mexico did.........


Argentina vs Swiss draw (+315)........$500 to win $1,575

I think argentina game will be tight too. But I just have a fear that Argentina will finally snap out of their funk

So was USMNT a hedge play all along? After the Germany bed wetting, just trying to see where you are at. Most of your plays had USA involved and now the change of heart, without even seeing a line-up. I just got pounded pretty hard with that loss (france/germany reverse; even with draw as a small hedge).

My guess is Belgium 2, USA 0. And the other public favorite of Brazil slacking, I still say they win 2-0 or 3-1...

only ask about the hedge because I had Argentina ML and Belgium ML left on mine... if Argentina got through in 90, ultimate hedge on USA +.5. Fucking Germany. Why is Lahm playing that holding mid role, while the defense has been completely suspect. Ehhh... put Lahm at RB and remove Mustafi and start Khedira.
