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.

Just looked it up. Saudi was 300/1 (not joking). Japan's were 70 & 80.

There was 100s of 1000s bet on Argentina at odds from 1.01 to 1.04 on the exchange at half time too.

Ok, so our average is in:

2.43 France
3.31 Draw
3.5 England

Cue ?? v ??

To be honest, what I think it will actually turn out to be will be quite close to 2/1 all three outcomes.

Had a look @ the Golden Glove market.

To give me a second runner in this market I'm going to back Diogo Costa (1 clean sheet so far) @ 25/1 and hope that Portugal don't give Rui Patricio a run again stSouth Korea. They're in line to play Switzerland in the last 16 and Germany in quarter finals, so not the trickiest run of games - so being rested on Friday might not be fatal for his chances.

Costa starts for Portugal!

He shortened in from 25/1 prior to last night's game to 10/1 now.

Didn't check him odds earlier today so not sure how much of it is attributable to each of these 3 factors
- Costa not being rested against South Korea
- Neuer & Courtois existing the competition
- Money coming for Costa (...who looked an outlier @ 25/1 given Portugal's potential path to the final)

Fun bet.

Hannibal Lecter to score and get booked at 8.25 with 365

Hannibal is 2/1 with Paddy to score OR be booked.

Sky bet are offering evens England to win in 90 minutes Sunday night.

Boylesport are offering 3/1 Senegal double chance.

Of course stake restrictions apply, but it's potentially 20 quid risk free.

Think it's from 2006 I heard on a pod you'd have a 29% ROI if you just backed the draw blindly in the knockout games.

So I'm going to do that for 5 yoyos per match, and see how it goes.

Netherlands USA €5 @ 3.38 with 365
Arg Australia €5 @ 6.6 Exchange
