    I wouldn't bother playing it like that, you're on a hiding to nothing picking so many at short odds when as you say many havn't even looked good.

    There are enough good prices in individual games if you have confidence in a team. Serbia over Ghana for example, 13/10. That's a good price, Serbia will be a lot more organized and IMO should be plain better than Ghana.

    There are no walkovers in this world cup and big odds on the so called good things is a mugs punting game .... you can go through countless results from the past 4 world cups with big upsets .... this year will prove to be the same !

    Yup i had a sporting punt in a treble with Wazza and Wakey ...just collected from Betfred a very nice £148-00 for £40 stake ...

    was gonna lump huge on Leeds at 4/6 especially after seeing the Bradford side but then the odds suddenly went 1/2 and 4/9 so missed the boat but the treble was nice !

    Looks like Troicki won the first set 6-4 :shock:

    It's on Betfair, strange its not on 365.

    the way i normally make money on football is just betting on goals in the last 25-15 minutes or so in games where a certain team has to win normally comes through, and sometimes it's the weaker team that scores through a counter. the amount of goals that happen in the last ten minutes, and you get good odds aswell. make a very good amount on that at times.

    :deal Moving away from the idea of that type bet very quickly. Not enough value.

    I think Serbia are an underrated team TFFP but the fact that Ghana have a Serb coach is enough to put me off backing them in that one. Ghana have a very strong midfield as well (see below) and if they can run that part of the game in hot weather it could be difficult.

    Michael Essien will be returning from injury just in time for the tournament. Sulley Muntari,
    Stephen Appiah
    Kwadwo Asamoah (Udinese playmaker)
    Kevin-Prince Boateng

    Think Tommy Robredo has gone down the toilet, hes up to 3/1 :lol:

    What a twat, you'd think on clay he should be at home against an average opponent. Never can predict this tennis down to a tee.

    Ah no, he's back to 11/8. Think he must have been broken in the second and broke back immediately. Score isn't updating.

    Didn't bet on it myself, just think Robredo should win a match like this. I'll probably bet on Garcia-Lopez.

    Nice...... this weekend's fixtures :yep

    Leeds vs Wigan
    Saints vs Barrow
    Batley vs Catalans
    Bradford vs Warrington

    Challenge Cup weekend.... I've not seen any odds anywhere, but I fancy Wigan, Saints, Catalans and Warrington in a little accumulator, maybe £20.

    Batley might be a decent bet for being inside the half time handicap.... though neither their attack nor defence is all that good looking at the stats.

    I'm not sure whether he will be.... if he isn't I'd definitely go toward Wigan by about 10-15, even if he was playing I'd err against us - especially given your love for playing us at home :|

    Yeah Bradford were the better side but they missed a few chances, I'm not all that confident with their defence and fitness against the better sides. Leeds have a team with quite a few old-ish men pushing 30 and looked the stronger late on.

    I've gone with the Over 38.5 games in the Murray-Gasquet match, in a double with Carla Suarez Navarro. For some reason Navarro is evens which is baffling, as she's in a totally different class to her opponent. Might be in injury.
