World Cup 2018 Betting Thread

England v Belgium both teams to score at 10/11. Thoughts lads? Neither should be looking to win this given the runner up in the group get a much easier passage, therefore defences ought to ease up shall we say.

The problem would be if England went 1-0 up say maybe the Belgians will be happy to let them at it but my gut feeling is that is too transparent for all to see and there is more likely to be goals in this than a 0-0 stalemate or a 1-0 either way.

I think cards could be the bet. England have 2 cards so far whereas Belgium have 3.

If the game is a draw it goes down to the fair play ratings…

Over 3 Asian cards @ 1.825 on Bet365…

That’ll do me.

Are you saying overs or unders? [EDIT, ok overs it is] Coming second is clearly an easier path.

I could make a case for both teams having zero interest in scoring goals and trying to come second. That path seems to be getting bookings.

Yeah I’d nearly double overs in cards with a 0-0

Average cards in last 8 games is almost 5 per game.

Really think there is a chance Southgate woukd try not to win to gain potentially easier path?

No chance IMO. Cannot put a value on momentum and confidence. Id be most surprised if England at least dont go full bore to win

What’s an Asian Card?

I’d say neither side will be brave enough to throw the game. They’ll probably both give a few squad players a run out and hope for the worst.

A yellow card you thick cunt.

If it’s Japan second round for winners and Colombia for second place, they’d have to seriously consider it. Still you couldn’t see Kane turning down an opportunity to score.

If it is a path of Japan and the winners of Sweden and Switzerland on one hand, and Colombia and then Brazil on the other, you’d be mad not to consider it.

BBC have already been talking about the Belgium game being a dead rubber and how England are going to rotate their team. It’s pretty similar to the Denmark France game. Both were happy enough to so as little as possible and give lads a rest.

Exactly 3 cards is a refund

Post reported for racism

pretty much all my degenerate bets are shot, Suadia Arabias last gasp winner fucked up a nice one with Australia, Iceland and Costa Rica not to win a game. My last gasp degenerate bet left is for every team to score twice at 100-1. 2 left, Poland need one against Japan and Panama need one against Tunisia. Very much in with a shout on it!
