Croatia v Turkey

wixfjord

Anyone else going big on croatia?? I think they are dead certs, good solid team and turkey are missing a few. Only worry I would have is goalscoring ability but will overlook that I think.

Croatia -1 at 2.22 on Betfair

I think it's a reasonably safe bet, one concern I have about Turkey is the impressive strength they showed to come from behind against the Czechs, and the Croatians may put in a performance like they did against Switzerland.

No 'safe bets' left in this competition (IMO).

Croatia to win in extra time for me.....not betting on the match though.

Gonna watch the 1st few minutes to see how it goes, but if it goes as I presume then yes I will be betting Croatia for a more than usual amount. While I respect the Turks comeback we have to remember that the Czechs are not a great team but even at that they should have been 5-0 up at one stage.

There is part of me that can see Turkey winning this game. To make that happen they would need to repeat the second half performance of last week. If Croatia have an off day, e.g. Austria game then I think they are very vulnerable and while they should win the 4/1 on Turkey in 90mins is worth a couple of quid as in my view they should only be half those odds at the very most.

Can't disagree with this ....just hope the Croats do it.

I'm going to have a little wager on the Turks over 90 too.

Expect some suprises at these latter stages of the competition.

That was their first game in the group against Austria. Bad opener for them but they've sorted it since it would appear.

I wouldn't agree that Croatia are certs (a 5/6 cert?) but at that price or so i can understand why some may want to back them.

I'm not backing either way to tell the truth. Just going to enjoy the game. Croatia to win by one @ 11/4 with Corals is what i would do if i was going with the Croats.

Raoul

Why is everyone so sure about Croatia?? While they beat Germany by two goals, Germany easily could have scored and probably should have. Croatia are lucky that Klose is not having a great goal scoring tournament.

I will be having a sneaky 5euro on the Turks.

Love the Croatian National Anthem, hope to hear more of it !!!

I have €500 on Croatia to qualify at 4/9. I think it was a great price.

The Turks have that Kazim-Richards lad playing up front. I'd be happy with your bet with him on the field. He's useless. Their back-up keeper looks dodgy too.

I've put my money where my pre-tourney mouth was as well. I went for the 5/6 in normal time

That's what i was thinking , but my god haven't Turkey come storming out of the traps. Croatia just need a bit more composure , still sweating writing this.

Just in case you might not be aware of this site is great for seeing where the best prices are.

Well I'm regretting the multiple bets I made on Croatia in the 1st 10 minutes. Another Austria performance for sure. I don't think Turkey are a great side but Croatia are doing their nervy, no movement, no short passing trick again. Modric anonymous again, which as a Spurs fan is doubly annoying. Hoping for one brief moment of magic like the Modric run earlier for Croatia to take it home 1-0. Could do without losing the bets in case it affects my confidence for tomorrow where I hope to be betting big.

We're all hoping so.

This is on a knife edge. If Turkey score first it may be game over. Croatia not clicking yet but we all know they can. This could well be 0-0

20 Times 20 Times

We should all add up what we have placed on Croatia to win this match see what action is involved in this thread

Culchie

Peno on the way for Croatia methinks.

hotspur

Stephen you don't have to worry as much, you have way more time for Croatia to do it for you. I'm a few minutes away from backing 0-0.

You thinking of covering your bet ? I'm so happy i didn't go for the FT odds.

Oddschecker is a bit crap to be honest. It plots every market fine but it doesn't update the info automatically so you're often not getting the most up to date prices. If they sorted this out, it would be the business because it is all encompassing in what it plots. bestbetting.com is my site of choice at the moment, it updates price changes very quickly.

Cheers for that , didnt know about that site . Actually getting a good sweat here for the money

hotspur

F*** you Rustu! Decided just to take the loss. See what I can do in extra time.

Culchie

ah well, should stick to the golf betting, it's far easier picking a winner from 140 runners than this fussball.

Still hope the Croats go through for my pre tourney dosh.

You can easily buy Turkey to go through at a decent price. I must be getting desperate as I've just backed Srna to score 1st at 16/1

i went for first team to score in extra time - croatia at 3/1
