QL's WC bets

[quantumleap]

13.5 wins - 11 losses in WC action so far. (1.5 - 0 on my 2-unit picks.)

Germany/Sweden total goal mins. over 115 -108 (Regulation time only.) [2 units]
This game stands to have a lot of scoring as Germany as both teams have the talent. A late goal by either team will send this over.

Germany/Sweden over 2 and 2.5 -106
As mentioned above, these 2 teams can score.

Well this started out nicely now didn't it? But Germany only scored 2 goals at the 4' and 12' mark to add up to 16 goal minutes. The over bet pushed on 1/2 but lost on another 1/2.

13.5 wins - 12.5 losses.

England/Ecuador goal minutes under 110 -114
I'm thinking Englad pulls a Germany and scores early and often and then holds on to the lead.

QL,
Just pointing out Historically there are more Goals in the Knock-out Stages than Group, also Last 15 Minutes of play has the biggest percentage of scores. I think thats because of the added minutes and Teams in do or die situations. good Luck anyhow.

Thanks for the input winbet. I always value your opinion.

I was hoping to find the same thing you mention in the Germany/Sweden game but it looks like the Germans pulled up to protect their lead. I was thinking the English would do the same against a weaker Ecudorean team.

I forgot to mention that this bet is regulation time only.

Beckham scores at 60' for the only tally making this a winner!

14.5 wins - 12.5 losses.

yea your sharpe you lost almost half of these bets

I'm 4-2 on theRX for soccer bets in the WC. I've been doing better on the halftime bets but here goes.

NED -0.5 +101 over IC
Netherlands is a much better team. The Orange team will want a victory here to guarantee a pass into the next round.

MEX -1 -105 over Angola
Same thing here.

PORT -1 -136 over Iran
Same thing here.

CZE -0.5 -133 over Ghana
The Czechs beat the US 3-0 and they're only getting -0.5 here???

ITA -1 -105 over USA
If the Czechs can beat the US 3-0, certainly the Italians can do similarly.

I know what you mean uscmike. I have some work to do to improve don't I?

Another fun corner kick bet:

Switz/Ukraine under 9.5 +111 (Regulation time)
While Switz. had 8 corners against Togo and 8 against the Koreans (both pushovers), they had only one against France. The Ukraine have yet to compete in a match that has corner kicks total 10 or more. They had 1 corner in their 0-4 loss against Spain and 3 against Tunisia. They had 6 corners against Saudi Arabia but they are hardly a good team.

I think this match will slow down and that means there will be fewer chances for attacking which leads to corners.

 

[quantumleap]

My first 4-unit bet!

Spain to advance -144 (4 units!!!!)
France is totally outclassed by the Spaniards here. The French are old and have not been scoring. The Spaniards are the class of this tournament and will have no problem beating the French.

livescore.com shows Switzerland as having 5 corners and the Ukraine as having 6. However, Pinnacle scored this a winner so there must have been more corners in extra time.

15.5-12.5.

 

[chriscol]

corners were 4-5 in regulation

corners were 4-5 in regulation

Thanks chris. Where did you find that information?

 

[chriscol]

i watched the game on tv and had the same bet... with live stats on the screen..so i was sweating it out.

 

[quantumleap]

Well my 4-unit bet fails as France (France????) beats Spain 3-1. How did old man Zidane score in the 90th minute??? I thought he would have run out of gas by then.

15.5-13.5.

 

[quantumleap]

Germany/Argentina over 10 corners -126 (Regulation time only.)
While both of these teams have had matches go under the total of 10 corners I believe that this round will see more aggressive play, causing more corners.

Just catching up on my WC record. This Germany/Argentina bet lost but I went 2-1 in the England/Portugal thread and won last night with the corner kick bet for Germany/Italy so my record is now 18.5-15.5.

 

[quantumleap]

Going with:

Germany/Portugal over 2.5 +119 (2 units)
Check out the record for the 3rd/4th-place match in WC history for the last half-dozen tournaments. All have gone over 2.5.

Germany/Portugal over 10 corner kicks -127 (1 unit)
This will be a wide-open affair leading to more corner kicks.

Well the Over 2.5 came through as the score ended up at 3-1 but the corners were 2-7 so that bet was a loss.

19.5-16.5

Final WC bet:

Italy/France under 9.5 corners +101 (2 units) Regulation time only
Italy is playing the best defense of any team so I was thinking about going with the Under 1.5 or maybe France Team Total under 0.5. I thought there could be a fluke goal toward the end of regulation that would cause those bets to lose.

Both teams will be cautious at first and I think Italy's defense will prevent France from getting many corner kicks.

My 2-unit bets are 3-1 and my 4-unit bet is 0-1.
