well that round was a disaster. Still up over 20 units though. I lean Germany here but I'm not betting against Brazil again. The crowd is too much and the refs are letting them play too physical. I also think Brazil is gonna play it real close to the vest, so under 2.5 is a great bet. But at -188 there's too much juice for me. I will have a play for tomorrows game. Bol

Here's what I got so far:
France (to qualify) over Germany +125 (there was a big move on France on some sites, but I got it at +125) 5 units $500 to win 625 Colombia (to qualify) over Brazil +200 2 units $200 to win $400 Controversially pick. This is a toss up game to me so I will take the value with Colombia. Brazil has only looked good vs Cameroon and Cameroon has supposedly had 7 players on the take. I like this play. I think the winner of this game will win the tournament. Belgium ( to qualify) over Argentina +162 2 units $200 to win $324 You guys may be surprised. I have been betting Argentina the whole tournament but to be honest I haven't been impressed. They are squeaking out wins, and that's to be expected. But outside of Messi and Di Maria this team has nothing. I expect them to go down this weekend or lose to Holland in the next game. I may add to this game and will keep you guys posted. I'm also leaning toward over 2.5 on the total. Good luck |

I've got at least 3 plays lined up for the quarterfinals (hint: its not gonna be all chalk this time) and I don't expect to be laying juice. The dogs will bite this round, stay tuned ;) I will post a few plays tomorrow.

Will update my totals after the Argentina game today, hopefully they win to close 3 monster parlays.
Also, I think I'm going to take a shot with Belgium, but I will wait to see if more steam comes in on USA. Go Argentina!

France/Nigeria over 2.5 -$118 1 unit
$100 to win $85 France/Germany/ Belgium (fulltime) +277 1 unit We've seen a ton of close games so far and I'm expecting that trend to reverse tonight. I think France and Germany should cruise, thus giving us Belgium tomorrow at +277. I like the value, also I think USA has played one good half (2nd half against Portugal) out of 6 so far. So although I have not been overly impressed with Belgium, I like them to beat USA in regulation. Good luck to those who tail!

Nice start in round 2:
Colombia (regulation) Brazil (to qualify) 2 units +170 $200 to win $340 Colombia/Brazil/Argentina all in regulation 1 unit + 390 $100 to win $390 Brazil dominated, and ultimately took care of business in a hard fought game. Knockout round total: +$240 World cup total: +$1587 As you can see listed above I got huge money on Argentina to qualify, let's hope they don't blow it. |

You can check my other thread for how I did in round one. It would've been huge if Ghana's goalie didn't serve one on a platter for Ronaldo. Anyway, lets move on. Here are my knockout round picks.
Colombia (to qualify)/Argentina (to qualify) (-120) 10 unitsT $1000 to win $833 This is the definition of chalk, but I don't feel Uruguay's midfield can deal with Colombia's speed. Also, Uruguay has only one non PK goalie in 3 games that wasn't from Suarez and it was off his back on a corner. Colombia will cruise, but because I'm risking big units I will play it safe and avoid a regulation bet. Colombia/Argentina/Brazil all to qualify +140 5 units $500 to win $700 Same rational as above but I'm adding Brazil. I don't see the host nation losing this early. Chile will provide a test, but I could see the ref's helping Brazil if it comes down to it. I expect a close fought Brazilian victory. Colombia (regulation) Brazil (to qualify) 2 units +170 $200 to win $340 Colombia/Brazil/Argentina all in regulation 1 unit + 390 $100 to win $390

Ghana/Germany +500 2 units $200 to win $1000 Ghana/Germay +400 1 unit $100 wins $400 The line has moved a lot since it opened. Ghana over Portugal +200 2 units $200 wins $400 Algeria over Russia +275 1 unit $100 wins $275 France/Belgium parlay +206 1 unit

We won a lot of money in round one thanks to a few nice futures. To win group: Brazil/argentina-192 2k to win $1055 Brazil/Argentina/Germany+140 $500 to win $700 Straight bets: 9-10 -$39 Futures/Parlays: 4-8 (posted two ghana/germany parlays but counted it as one bet) +$1386 TOTAL: $1347 Up over 13 units in round 1, should have been better, but we will take it. |

Chile +175 1 unit
: $100 to win $175 Hit a bit of a losing streak. But at least if Argentina wins or draws tomorrow hit my big Brazil/Argentina group winner future. I like both dogs tonight, and if one of them wins we will make some good money: Uruguay(+180) over Italy 1 unit $100 to win $180 Costa Rica (+333) over England $100 to win $333 |

Chile +175 1 unit
: $100 to win $175 I also locked in a parlay for Thursday: Ghana/Germany +500 2 units $200 to win $1000 This is a great spot. Ghana and USA played in Manaus yesterday and will have one less day of rest before the game. Italy and England played in Manaus and both looked sluggish in their second game. Ghana has also played two great matches (outplayed USA and were up 2-1 on Germany). Portugal has played two horrible games and other than Ronaldo's cross on the game tying goal, he has looked off form. Germany and USA might play for the draw (evidence from the +150 number), but I don't see Germany sitting back when they need a point to guarantee advancing.

Croatia/Portugal/Bosnia +414 $100 to win $414 Germany (-1) -105
$200 to win $190 The hot streak does not continue unfortunately. Bosnia got robbed of a goal costing us. Thought I was at least gonna push the Germany game, Ghana played great though. Hats off to them. My Brazil/Argentina group futures should cash and although this has been a somewhat inconsistent round betting wise, we've won more than we lost, so no complaints. I play for tomorrow that I posted a few days ago: Portugal (-130) over USA $390 to win $300 I really like Portugal in this spot. I think they will be hungry after an unimpressive first match. We will see. |
