World Cup 2022

Been building a bit of a portfolio mainly with freebies for a few months now so will do a quick rundown

Brazil 9/2 outright winner

Brazil to beat France in final 25/1

Brazil to beat Spain in final 50/1

Neymar player of the tournament 12/1

Lartauro Martinez top scorer 28/1

Memphis depay top scorer 33/1

Jamal Musiala young player of the tournament 7/1

Iran Cameroon Costa rica all to finish bottom of their group 5/2

Iran to score 0 goals and to lose all 3 group games 9/1

Had a few nibbles today

Laurturo martinez top scorer 25/1

Darwin Nunez top scorer 50s and Mitrovic at 66s, both ew, hopefully the place part cops.

Argentina winner and Martinez top scorer, 100/1 with 365, very good price

main bet, over 30 goals between brazil, france, argentina 10/11

I was going to launch on the card markets but... under 9.5 Red cards at 10/11, there was only 4 in last world cup and 10 in 2018. Its hard to know with VAR and the standard of referees so i chickened out

Nunez/Uruguay @200_1 now. Still might be a punt

My main interest is in the lowest scoring team market because (a) it gives me an interest in a lot of the lower-profile group games and (b) I like a market where a tie is a possibility, half a loaf better than no bread and all that. On Iran, Costa Rica, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Canada and Australia.

Also on: Netherlands highest scoring team

Golden Ball: Neymar, Pedri

Higest team scorer accas: Al-Shehri (Saudi)/Maehle (Denmark) and Maclaren (Australia)/David (Canada)/Suarez (Uruguay)/Vlahovic (Serbia)

Top league scorer double Ronaldo (Prem) [not sure if this is still strictly accurate but presumably they would honour it]/Lewandowski (La Liga)

Group stage acca: Brazil first-Cameroon last/Netherland first-Qatar last/Ghana

and Sky Request-a-bets:

Kane to score 4+ goals, Mbappe and Neymar each to score 3+ goals, Havertz and Nunez each to score 2+ goals & Modric to score 1+ goals @ 50/1

Argentina to win the World Cup, Messi to win the Golden Boot and Messi to win the Golden Ball @ 66/1

Messi to win the Golden Ball and Lautaro Martinez 3+ goals @ 16/1

Eriksen, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Nunez each to score 3+ goals @ 125/1

last one looks a great shout to me if Mitro is fit & firing...

Read somewhere that the host nation has never lost the opener since 2006 when the 'tradition' began. As ShamoBuc said 'expect Qatar to get plenty of help'.

Not surprised to see that PP have locked the team captains in the card markets.

Kane, Bale, VVD etc are all suspended, because of the threat of being booked instantly for wearing the 'OneLove' armband.

Suprised Wales are 9/4 vs USA. Am I missing something obvious ?

Coming on here to say same

way overpriced for me

Anybody know what price SA were to bear Argentina, purely inquisitive, wouldn't think any bookie would have to pay out

Happy to get my feet wet today feels their is some decent prices on offer.

0-0 half time score ziyech over 0.5 shots and both teams receive a card 14/5

Tough game to call the first one imo morrocco could be underrated by the market but expecting a cageyish first half with Croatia looking to control the game from the middle and it being a slow burner. Taking higher shot line on ziyech as singles he has proved at Chelsea he wants to shoot at every opportunity adding a small play on him scoring from outside the box at 11/1

Germany win and over 1.5 and over 0.5 cards in the game 4/5

All signs point to them playing with the handbrake off and filling half the team with their Bayern contingent important to get 3 points on the board with Spain up next.

Half time 0-0 5/2

Spain historically have struggled to break down the low block. Costa Rica will be setting up with 10 behind the ball at all times and make life as hard as possible for the Spanish. Has the feel of a game we have seen before with Spain starting slow in a big tournament was also surprised to read that they only won 1 game in 90 minutes in the euros despite looking like the best team for most of the tournament. 16/1 looks a bit of value for 0-0 too. Also nibbling at the Costa Rica double chance and navas to be booked 60/1 and Costa Rica to win with navas to be booked 230/1.

Btts both teams receive a card and over 2.5 goals in Canada Belgium 5/2

Not massively keen on Belgium for the tournament as a whole but this is a bit of an ideal opener with canada been quite vulnerable at the back while carrying plenty of attacking threat. Surprised to see that the old spurs duo of alderweireld and vertonghen at the back is who Belgium are relying on to keep the door closed Johnathan David is very good and after being touted with moves to bigger clubs than lille in the summer will be aiming to put himself in the shop window on this stage. 10/3 on him bagging anytime looks big to me so will have a play on that too.

And the fact that they are usually limited markets on them…gimmick
