I last left off with a word about "care giving" an ailing old mom. These last 10 days have really taken a toll mentally and physically on me being a part of this. I don't know the ages of most of you .....but how many of you had to deal with or take care of an ailing mom as she ends her time on earth?? I am working an 11 hour shift and that is what I call it.....work......taking care if someone who needs 24 hour a day care. Not fun.....
Needless to say I had not really had the mindset or time to handicap games all day as I do daily, all day freely......so I have only looked at the remaining WC games.......and that alone has given me a sense of freedom from the care giving job.
Here is what I came up with.....even tho I won't be able to watch most of these games.....I have thought this through based on what I have seen watching these clubs.....
My WC record was at 8-4-1 +2.37 units +$2,370
My first play for July of any kind will be...
A 2 team parlay....
France vs Germany over 2 -130 parlay with Netherlands -189 to beat Costs Rica in regulation......this two team parlay is risk 1 unit to win 1.70 units.....
After watching Germany play they really seem to get going offensively when they play teams that attack them. Does that sound strange? Germany does try to carry the action especially vs teams that sit back aka the US, Algeria.....those teams played with a defensive counter attack mindset.....in France we have a team that can look good and score offensively and are not afraid to play back and forth as they won't be playing 10 behind the ball......neither team will play 10 behind the ball. Watching France vs Equador and Nigeria those two clubs just couldn't finish and find back of the net. I'm expecting some flow up and down by both France and Germany with some quality chances and finishes. I'm wagering 2 goals minimum.....so I bet it down to incearse my chances.
The Netherlands can play a slow down or face paced game and one thing is certain is that they have finishers. Why is it the dutch always net goals, call it skill!! Sure they catch breaks with fanthom calls but if you attack enough you will get chances and calls. I'm figuring the dutch to score 2 or 3 goals and their opponent Costa Rica has had the luxury of playing Italy who lack scoring punch, England who tried hard but couldn't finished to score if their life depended on it and it did! Costa Rica has played well but I don't believe they can stand up to a quality scoring club and I have penciled in a Dutch win of 2-0, 2-1, 3-1, or a 3-2 chasing finish.
I don't mind the parlay as you know.....simply because a single loss of either of these matches at the original posted odds would result in a substantial loss anyway.....so I bet that total down on France Germany matchup.
If the Germany France match happened to land on 2.....and the Dutch win we would still net +0.52 units and is take it in a heart beat!!
Time to go........its diaper changing time.......and no its not my diaper.........don't ever get old folks......stay young....stay busy.......
I will be cheering you all keep cashing tickets
Cheers
