    I think the best way to do this is by the double chance market .
    Back costa Rica or draw @ 7/4 ,you bet 2k and if Uruguay wins then you are up 5k , if it's a draw or costa Rica win your up 3.5k.

    If I was you I'd put 500 on double chance you guaranteed your self profit and stand to win 6.5k with a VERY good chance of it coming in.
    It's up to your self of course.

    Going to go with this one, whole year.

    1000 on Costa Rica or draw @2.75/1

    2750 winnings - 1000 bet = 1750 winnings.

    Going to keep 500 aside for in play and back this bet if Uruguay go up 1-0.

    I'm guessing it should be about 5/1 if Uruguay go up 1 -0.

    I have got this far, going to go for it, but trying to secure myself at least around 2k.

    Good stuff, a guaranteed 2K return from a €14 stake is the stuff dreams are made of. A highly probable 6k return from a €14 stake is indescribable. Well done and good luck.

    Congrats and good work on the plan. It would be complete and utter madness if you did not cover yourself, can't believe some people are suggesting that.

    I have to say I'm not a big football fan, horses and rugby are my thing, but I'm almost excited for this game now.

    Congrats on the bet great bit of bookie bashing. Speaking as someone who once arrived home too late to hedge an acca waiting on Bayern to win the German super cup final for two grand at the start of the season, all I can say is hedge as you planned to do without doubt .

    I had placed the acca and a few others when out about the town and lost track till I got home as it was a big acca.

    You don't want to be staring at a screen looking at that fall at the last leg.... Gutting feeling.

    Strange things can and do happen in football. No one guessed 1-5 to Holland yesterday. Cavanni could get sent off ten mins in today and Suarez knee flare up after the operation. Bit extreme but ya get what I mean :)

    Suarez will sit out this game.

    Must be a great feeling knowing you can't lose, just a matter of how much you win.

    Opta stats

    Uruguay have won six and lost none of their eight previous meetings with Costa Rica, most recently defeating them 2-1 on aggregate in a 2010 World Cup play-off.


    Put your mind at ease, good luck with your bet

    Bloody hell 3-1 to Costa Rica

    No such thing as a certainty in football unless you cover all the angles!

    Fair play on covering OP, sadly it seems that a -9leger has died on me at the last hurdle.

    Brazil and Chile won for me and Spain and Mexico scored for me in the football. New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Ireland won for me in the rugby. Sadly it seems a heroic effort from Costa Rica has cost me a few quid. Ah well, c'est la vie.

    Enjoy your winnings

    Well for me I'm the type of person to go for it, I'm not one for trading off.

    As soon as I put money on a bet, I consider it lost, if it wins, it wins.

    I'm a a Kipling If kind of person I suppose. My heart rules my head in these things.

    Think of your bookies balance as a business. Why would you want your business to potential lose money? When there is an option to guarentee it! Well done OP

    Well done op. To be honest I didn't expect that result and would have chanced it. I would have been confidently celebrating at half time and sickened at full time. Fair play for you for having the sense to cover. Congratulations and enjoy.
