World Cup 2018 - Betting thread

There we go. I shall defer to the experts (one day I hope I'll be in a similar boat). :-)

Of course the draw helps. I've seen 6/4 about on England to make the final which is joint shortest odds with Brazil.

If we do make the final I'd imagine we'd be in that 7/2 range to win in 90 minutes while being 2/1 or 9/4 ish to lift the trophy.

I'd say about 6/4 or 8/5 for the lift trophy if we meet Brazil (guesstimate). On my league ratings (trade the outright), currently have Brazil as essentially half a goal better than us. Which would see them about evens or a tad over and then minus any over-round.

My take would be very similar, just slightly bigger England.

4/9 Brazil 7/4 England to lift the trophy - 90 mins 5/6 Brazil, 15/4 England, 9/4 Draw

Over-round built in.

Copied my tissue there haven't you..

How very dare you!!

I agree, if they click I think the Belgians have more quality than Brazil. I like their chances tonight.

Sweden currently 21/5 to win on betvictor

Had a France / England double at 3s, so waiting now for England to abuse that up (like they did in the 92nd min on Tues)

Gone with Modric and Mandzukic 2 shots on target each in the 90 mins @ 66-1 - i'm thinking the Russian keeper will be a busy boy tonight

Would you be able to cash out on something like that, what a bet that is!

does anyone know how to work out what the odds are for just the three that have already come in?

15 x 17 x 19 = 4845

well that's the end of that bet then how gutting for the guy.

Should've done Cheryshev instead of Perisic!

Did that come in?

Croatia only had 3 shots on target in the 120 minutes

Feel a bit awkward about this one but just didn't think that we would get as far as we have and now struggling to decide what to do - currently holding positions having backed Belgium @ 14, Croatia @ 38 (both on Betfair) and a Belgium/Croatia Final @ 100/1. We are not talking life changing amounts but the returns would be meaningful to most people.

Which of these options would you now take:

(a) Let it run - "more important to potentially maximise the return and it would be so disappointing to trade out if it were a Belgium/Croatia Final"

(b) Trade out for a flat book so the return is the same whatever happens - "can happily sit and happily cheer England in the semi in the knowledge that it's a return - albeit one that is a big reduction on the original investment"

(c) Trade out so that England is the only winner in the win market and in the "nominate the finalists" market make England with Belgium and France the only winners on the book - "come on England, who cares about the money!"

Cash outs?
