C’mon man. Jeez

AUSTRALIA v PARAGUY

79. FT DRAW @ 2.29/+129 (1u)  Pinnacle

Lean

No goal scorer @ 4.33/+333 Bet365

A game that no one wants to win. When you see a draw priced this low there is a reason and you always have to take it. I'm also going to back the no goal scorer instead of 0-0 or under 0.5 because if an own goal is scored it does not beat your wager

Really?

This happens everytime, DJ was on a hot streak, than probably some people started following at the peak, lost money and than wants to blame on someone else. Whoever is following from the beginning still up big. 

Well, if you wanna tail, tail from beginning to end. If you are picking and choosing than it’s on you.

SENEGAL v IRAQ

80. Senegal -1.75 @ 1.89/-112 (2u)  Pinnacle

Leans

Sadio Mane anytime goal scorer @ 2.20/+120 Bet365

Senegal team total OVER 2.5 @ 2.08/+108 Pinnacle

Iraq have lost by 3 to France and by 3 to Norway. Senegal are a good team they scored versus France put a couple versus Norway. I think they could win by 2 quite easily here. Sadio Mane the Senegal talisman is yet to score at this world cup and I think he might find the back of the net in this one. I also like the team total at plus money on Senegal as being the third place team they need to improve that goal difference. 

FRANCE v NORWAY

81. FRANCE ML+ total goals OVER 2.5 @ 2.15/+115 (1u)  Pinnacle

Lean

Mbappe anytime goal scorer @ 1.90/-111 Bet365

Both sides have progressed into the next round. France wants to win this group. A few days ago Didier Deschamps mother passed away and he flew back to France and will not be at this game. There was an emotional meeting with the team and I think that will give them that edge to win this for the manager. Mbappe is hungry he has had a brace in the last 2 games and I think he might get at least one here with that bad Norwegian defense.

DJ. Nothing on USA vs Turkey?

With you on the DRAW in Australia.

CAPE VERDE v SAUDI ARABIA

82. Cape Verde PK @ 1.91/-110 (1u)  Pinnacle

Lean

Total Goals UNDER 2.25 @ 2.01/+101 Pinnacle

I'm going to keep on riding my blue sharks here. Saudi Arabia are expert bus parkers however with only 1 point so far in the group they need a win and will sooner or later need to attack. I'm expecting a very cagey game here with what is at stake. Cape Verde should be lined at about +130 not +170 they are still not getting respect despite drawing Spain & Uruguay, 

SPAIN v URUGUAY

83. Spain-1 @ 1.82/-122 (1u)  Pinnacle

Lean

Mikel Oyarzabal to score or assist anytime @ 1.72/-139 Bet365

Uruguay are predictable. Bielsa's formations are boring, the tactics lack any creativity. Uruguay are now winless in their past 6 games. Not being able to beat Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde does not bode well versus one on the favourites Spain. I think Spain makes a statement and buries Uruguay.

FYI I will be shipping off my family to the Bahamas for holiday so I will not be around much tomorrow, I will pop in to post the 2 last games sometime on Friday.

BOL 

Clean sweep to end the night

Great call on no goalscorer lean 

DJ-great call on that Paraguay/Aus draw! I feel for those fans that had to pay to watch that-at least we can bet it and watch the other match on the TV!

net positive yesterday great stuff dj 

DJ are you salivating over this Japan v Brazil matchup? Seems pretty doable for the Japs. 

Holland Morroco tie looks juicy too... Looking fwd to seeing your plays 

DJ...best vacay wishes for your family in the Bahamas and thanks for sharing your picks & opinions.   

@DiamondJack

 Nice call on Turkey. I wasn't sure if the US hosts in match day 3 home match were going to pull a Mexico win one for the home fans, go into R32 with some momentum

I got roasted on Turkey last match and only bet the US  once TT OV. Leery about betting on or against the US.

BOL Today DJ 

Yes have a great holiday dj , thanks for posting early for us europeans. Could be a Holland - Canada coming up in the R16. You give the Canadians any shot?

@DiamondJack

Great call DJ on the Australia/Paraguay game! 

BOL today  

BELGIUM v NEW ZEALAND

84. New Zealand +2.25 @ 1.91/-110 (1u)  Pinnacle

Lean

Chris Wood Over 1.5 shots @ 1.72/-139 Bet365

What has Belgium done so far to warrant this big of a number? 2 draws and not even a single goa scored. Own goals don't count as anyone scoring. Jeremy Doku is back and that can maybe help but  in my opinion this team looks tired, old and has no ideas outside of possession. The main man up front for the kiwis Chris Wood has had 5 shots so far so I think he can register a pair as New Zealand need to win here. Once again for those tailing its shots not shots on target.
