If this world cup carries on as it started I'll be going to Penny Dinners for my turkey and ham this Christmas

Tofurkey & Spam for you buddy.

Keep at it. Variance can also be your friend

Serious work there, Phil.

Skov Olsen is a player who came on my radar when he was in Italy.

Not altogether surprised to see him making hay in CL and internationally.

Skov Olsen starts, along with Dolberg.

If Eriksen doesn't rack up some set-piece goals then the 8/1 for Skov Olsen looks tempting.

According to Neil Macdonald, Jaziri is likely on penalties for Tunisia.

7.5 with William Hill, about the same on the exchange anytime. The way VAR is going in this wc it might be a decent option to back penalty takers at decent odds before the bookies react.

It's games like that that put your discipline and risk management to the test.
I left a lot to be desired on both fronts unfortunately.

The Bet365 thing to predict the correct scores of the four games and win free bets is obviously there to encourage people (me) to bet, but it's really just highlighting the correct score bet (and many football bets) are a complete mugs game.

They are probably very profitable alright. I'd imagine that less than 1 in 500 correct bets on the England / Iran game were for 6-2, for example.

I forgot to predicts today's games, but picked 2 in the first set of games. Would be surprised if I do better than that 50% hit rate on any future round tbh

Might be some back to lay options today for golden boot, depending on team news. This market on the exchange is fluctuating wildly whenever a goal goes in. Mbappe went from 10/1 to 5/1 after his goal went in last night.

Batshuayi @ 75

Gnabry @ 60
Musiala @ 50

Ferran Torres @ 85
Fati @ 180 (big...if he starts)
