NurembergVillan Posted June 11, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 11, 2018 I'm going to set myself up with a little kitty for the tournament. Some interesting bets on the list there. Which bookie is everyone using? I used Betfair during the regular season because I had £20 left in my account so just made fun bets with that. They don't tend to have decent specials though, but it's a simple platform to use. I fancy backing the overall winner but can't decide who I think will take it. France might be an interesting shout just because of their pace and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 WH have couple of good offers. Bet £10 on a team to win outright and get a £5 Free bet for each game they win. Same offer on top goal scorer, £5 per goal. I’ve gone for Brazil / Neymar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 done a few each way top scorers Griezmann 10/1 Jesus 16/1 Lewandowski 33/1 (got 16 in qualifying in a group without a proper shit minnow to pad his record and is playing for a contract) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Antoine Griezmann as topscorer and Germany to win the WC @ 80/1 with WillHill (better odds probably available elsewhere). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzavfc Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I use Bet 365. Odds are usually pretty competitive Other than Brazil/Neymar bets gone with a few more 'left field' choices which are all around 4/1 Peru to qualify out the group Morocco to qualify out the group Senegal to qualify out the group Russia not to qualify out the group Suarez top goalscorer 25/1 - Uruguay should at least get to the QF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Think Lukaku as top scorer is a great bet...we know from premier league he's great at scoring against weaker teams. He could get 3-4 goals from the Panama and Tunisia games alone. Outsider for that would be Mitrovic, had a great second half of the season and his international record for Serbia is pretty decent, scored a hat-trick last week.

tonyh29 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Iran to get out the group is my outside bet .. but then I very rarely win football bets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Just put £10 on a Brazil/Jesus double (to win & top scorer) @ 40/1. Also put £10 on a Brazil/Neymar double (to win & top scorer) @ 20/1. Could have had better odds online, but easier popping into the local betting shop. I'm happy with those bets and should keep me interested right until the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's their clear main man upfront, and like you say is putting himself in the shop window this summer. Done it on William Hill so also get £5 freebet every goal he scores. Also covered Brazil, Spain, France and Germany to win on various freebet offers at different bookies (bet on overall winner, get freebet every game they win). May just hope one of those teams will win the trophy and that will cover losses on other 3, or may look to lay off stakes further into competition if prices on the exchange shorten up (assuming there are no group shocks).

NurembergVillan Posted June 14, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 14, 2018 My Paddy Power account had expired so was able to set up a new one. Got 100/1 on Russia to beat Saudi Arabia, paid out in free bets. Hopefully that comes in and gives me something to play with. At Will Hill got on the promo of bet £10 on top scorer / outright winner and get a free £5 bet for each goal / win. Went on Cavani top scorer (was top scorer for the region in qualifying) with an odds-boost to 22/1, and Germany to win at 9/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Got on Ronaldo to score a direct free kick in the tournament at 4/1 at Paddy. Should have at least 5 attempts... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Don't put any money on Group A, plenty of suspicious activity around Russia's matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re familiar with matched betting you can turn that £100 Free bet into guaranteed £75/£80 cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I like Lukaku as top scorer (for value) - same reasons as Kane. I actually think Belgium have more goalscorers than England, though, so not sure which to gamble on... I think there's potentially value for e/w on (WillHill odds): Mbappe (28/1) Isco (50/1) Falcao (50/1) Mertens (80/1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
