I'm thinking :

Group A - Uruguay Qualify
Group B - Spain win
Group C - France win
Group D - Croatia Qualify
Group E - Brazil win
Group F - Germany win
Group G - England qualify
Group H - Colombia qualify
Champions League Final - Both teams to score

Pays 14/1 - Anyone any thoughts?

Might leave France out. Have a niggling feeling about them as they are a usually quite slow starters and quite a young team, that would bring it back to 10/1. Any reason you fancy Denmark Shano ? Looked at the squad there and it doesn't look that great bar Erikson. Also just noticed Cahill in the Aussie squad, his 4th world cup @ 38 years old!

Just fancy Denmark myself I see another poster reckons Peru in that group but it's just my personal feeling. I haven't backed it yet.
I've currently backed:

Treble:
France
Brazil
Germany

all to top their group 11/10

Double:
Saudi Arabia
Costa Rica

both to finish bottem 23/10

To qualify out of group Acca:

Saudi NO
Morocco NO
Germany YES
Brazil YES
Argentina YES

Just under evens.

Is Saha out of the WC due to the injury in CL final? Egypt match odds for thier opener against Uruguay went flyinh out tonight as if it was confirmed he will be injured.

Assume that's Salah

Not 100% confirmed may miss the first game or the whole tournament but even so wouldn't back based on injury.

Jaysus don't know why I said Saha....

When I saw Egypt match odds going flying out I noticed that their ''to qualify'' from group A odds on betfair exchange had not reacted yet and there was a bet of 2.5 (6/4) request to lay them to qualify. I took the €500 bet. This morning the market had reacted and was trading at 3 (2/1) on the exchange. If I can buy back in at that I can lock in an €84 profit without risking anything

Do people think that mertens starts for Belgium
If so sneaky few bob on him top goal scorer big price

Also back Germany to win outright and England not to get out of group
I love an outside betðŸ˜႒

catrat12

That England bet is on paddy power alright

Giroud 40/1 top scorer. SkyBet.
Worth a shot I think. Good form with Chelsea. Up top in front of griezmann and mbappe could be lethal. Straightforward enough group you’d think...

The real mccoy 91

Another point on peru is they have only lost twice in their last 20 games by brazil and Chile 23/10 to qualify is looking value to me now

Yeah, drugs ban.

Anyone seeing any value in the ‘Top team goalscorer’ markets? Isco could be a good shout for Spain at 5/1

Paddy Power going 6 places but at 1/5 odds.
Little difference in prices.

I’m finding it very hard to pick outright winner. Between Spain/Germany/France/Brazil it’s too tight to call, so therefore can’t fond value in a winner tbh!

How Soon Is Now

Unlike previous tournaments finding it hard to pin point where to start with bets.

Winner is very uncertain as is top scorer.

The groups and so random this year to with a lot of low level teams.

Gonna have to really study it all bit more. Any good guides online based on top players for each team form tactics etc?

How Soon Is Now

Looked into everything a bit more again tonight and what i have so far as possible bets are these.


Uruguay Spain France Argentina Brazil Germany Belgium and Colombia all to win there groups. 34.85/1


Saudi Arabia Iran and Panama not to score a goal 125/1


Neymar top scorer 12/1

Father Hernandez

2 bets so far

Spain outright, Neymar TGS 80/1

Spain outright, Giroud TGS 250/1

Tbh there's probably better value in backing him each game as team FGs.

10/11 I think is a nice lay

Are PP doing team top goalscorer markets? Can't see any on the website.

Loafing Oaf

My primary proposals as of now are France and Brazil to reach the final
Panama, Iran, Saudi Arabia lowest scoring team.
Not sure on the second one though, looking pack over the years some pretty random teams have been the lowest scorers.

PopePalpatine

I went for a medium stake on Poland to reach the quarters @3/1 with BetStars. They could face either England or Belgium in the last 16, and I doubt Martinez can coax anything special out of the latter.

spock.

Sterling top scorer @ 150/1

888 sent me a 25 euro free bet so throwing it on that.
