    I believe you don't have to answer every question.
    Could just miss that and wait for the next one.

    The question will just be selected based on the odds. So whichever bet has a yes/no answer where both are 5/6

    But I only picked the first question each day, due to work, so question 1 for me was Russia/SA, question 2 Egypt/Uruguay and question 3 France/Australia
    So you ca definitely miss games out

    yeah just been confirmed - I know you aren't going to get any real gimmie questions but I think i'll wait this one out at least - that's the good thing about the WC I guess you are always going to have another question fairly soon after.

    For the record and feel free to all laugh at me bottling it I would have gone all in no if it was the case that I had to pick.

    How to go from a million to 15k in 3 simple steps

    Forgot I'd done the Serbia game, just logged in to find out I've lost 75% on question 4 too, good times.

    100k yes all the way. Closed the app and not even going to look at it again before the game - I literally changed my mind 5 times on the last one.

    Not quite mastered this betting malarkey.

    Had a balance of 65 in my account (50 in bet credits).

    Did 10 on England at 4/9
    Did my free bet 10 in play on England at 4/9

    Returned 8.90 in total.

    So now after winning two bets I have a lower balance (64) than I started with!!

    More of it should be in real cash, that you can withdraw.

    I’ve had online accounts for about 7 years and never made one withdrawal!

    when you win a bet you get the original stake back as well as whatever the odds were so for example if you are using real money on a 4/9 you would have got the £4 something win plus the original tenner back, so £14 in total, but with a tenner free bet you don't get the £10 stake back, just the 4 quid.

    Have to say that I didn't think Colombia would be as strong as they were four years ago but I expected them to have enough to beat Japan.

    To be fair they were at a double handicap immediately after the red card and the pen - they did bloody well in the first half and had their chances to nick a draw as well.


    Anyway i'm up to question 8 on my paddy power drop got 100K next question Senegal Poland will they be drawing at half time? Any CL wisdom guys? i'm thinking yes we are well due a nil all...

    England 13/8 with SkyBet to get a penalty. Could the officials look to make it up to us?

    Had a fiver on Kane to score 1st in a 2-1 win @ 35/1 the other night and was all intend to withdraw the lot and quit ahead.

    Put my back out running up the stairs at the station yesterday so am bored shitless sitting at home now will my feet up and am looking for a nice treble to put on today's games.

    Bet 365 are offering 22/1 for a penalty to be awarded in all 3 games. Half tempted...

    this isnt bad no offence to panama but IF we play well we will be too much for them and lack of experience could lead to some fouls.

    Think that would be the worst thing they can do if they are really trying to make VAR work - it shouldn't be used as a tool for punishing OR rewarding it's supposed to be about getting decisions right, not manufacturing decisions to make up for previous mistakes.

    They need to investigate the 2 decisions, find out what went wrong and fix it. They need to do this publicly and transparently. If this was a case of stubbornness from the ref refusing to correct his decision then he needs to be sent home immediately. Then there needs to be a clear and public instruction from FIFA to remaining refs that they need to utilise the tools they have and understand that stubbornly refusing to entertain the possibility that they may have got a decision wrong or missed something will not be tolerated in this competition.

    If it was that VAR missed it then they need to explain how that could have happened - not having "enough time" is not a good enough excuse however if it was due to the ref refusing to hold up play for them to check properly then this needs to be publicly acknowledged and again the ref needs sending home.

    Giving us a dodgy penalty in the next game will not restore any confidence in the system it will do quite the opposite even if England do "deserve" a call in their favour.

    Portugal to win, Portugal to score first, Portugal to have more corners, Morocco to have more cards.

    Uruguay to win both halves, Suarez to score, Uruguay most corners, Saudi Arabia most cards

    Spain to win, 3+ goals in game, 2+ cards, 9+ corners

    280/1 treble
