My overround calculator needs to hit the pillow for the night. ?

I see Belgium shortening in price.

And it's a complete fucking mystery as to why?

Trossard is starting ?

Croatia now 2/1.

Must bet imho.

Watching a pod that went out before today's games,

22 of 40 games scoreless at half time.
21 winning favs out of 40.

Hard punting lines this WC, i'd say. The psychology of betting on things to happen as to not happen is tough to break even when you're aware of it. I backed unders in a game I was going to watch for the first time ever in this WC I think.

Phil? Anybody else?

100% book please and we can pool our estimates to come up with an overall average to see how it compares IF they get there.

I'll throw my hat in the ring. I'd have France shorter personally, but I think the money will come for England in the day or two before.

I could see a scenario where the first half of Ghana v Uruguay is cagier than people think. Then second half Uruguay start to throw caution to the wind and Ghana (maybe even encouraged to think about top spot if South Korea nudge ahead of Portugal) do them on the break with pace.

HT-Draw, FT-Ghana @ 9/1

And we'd all be nicely up if we just blindly punted the big fav/big outsider HT/FT.

Is it 3 of those that have come in now? Japan x2 & Saudi.

Yes 3, IIRC.

What odds would they have been? 50, 66? Guessing as its not a market I bet in.

But I remember CB liked to bet them when the betting challenge was in its heyday. I remember doing a bit of research on it out of interest and it happens in less than 2% of epl games.

I can't remember but I'd say that was much more favourites coming back when it did.
