FIFA World Cup 2026 Futures and Games Picks Thread

@DiamondJack

 Hi DJ, I just started following you, can you explain the  1.78/-128 (1u) Bet365? I get the bet 365! Also how are you determining bet size? 2 unit, 1 unit, 1/2 until vs lean? If I understand it correctly I want $150 for 1 unit, 300 for 2 units & ? What for lean.

portugal are you still high on them to win it all? I already bet Portugal @ 8-1 & New Team to win at +192 but I only have $50 on each. Wondering if I should add another $50 on 1 or both? Or I could drop the desire to Press!

I’ve been betting your plays @ $50to $75 to $100 a unit, I want to move up to $150 a unit but I won’t if this World Cup is less than most years for you.

I give out my odds in decimal and American form.

For me at the moment 1 unit is 200$, 1/2 is $100, 2 is $400. Leans are 20$ pizza bets.

Portugal won the Euros after not winning any games in regulation...I will start my to advance roll over today

@docpj72

nailed the US game to a tee 

Once during the Euros he had three calzones on Spain in regulation. Match went to penalties, go figure.

Tonight he's probably going big, laying two meatball subs and a fried calamari appetizer.

My advice is to only go with what you can afford, especially if your bankroll management involves counting calories.

@DiamondJack

I don’t get the 1.78/-128 (1u) Bet365? I get the 1u = 1 unit but what does 1.78/-128 mean? Is -128 the line you bet? What does 1.78 mean? 

Advanced Roll Over? What does that mean=

@barneybeans

I can afford it. I want to simplify if possible, Strong leans vs regular leans?

@FresnoHawk68

 same line but in decimal odds

 Thank You

PORTUGAL v CROATIA

117. HT Result Draw @ 2.47/+147 (1u) Pinnacle

118. Bruno Fernandes to Draw Over 1.5 fouls @ 1.90/-111 (1u) Bet365

Lean

Cristiano Ronaldo OVER 1.5 shots on target @ 1.90/-111  Bet365

I can tell you first hand how hot and humid it is here. I broke a sweat crossing the street. This has all the making to a sluggish game. We have also not had a half time draw going back 7 knock out matches which is very unheard off. Bruno Fernandes has drawn 1,3,2. fouls for Portugal and 1,2,3,4 for Manchester United. He has hit that number in 5 of his past 7 games. Ronaldo has had 3+ shots in 13 of his past 15 games I think he can land 2 on target knowing full well this could be his last game.

Nice Spain forecast DJ

Oh sooo close to the Big one 2-0 Spain

Cheers DJ 

@DiamondJack

 Can you tell us more about ur rolling ticket, price/unit size. Also if you are confident in them as you were before tourney started.. thnx for all ur write up and plays!

ALGERIA v SWITZERLAND

119. BTTS YES @ 1.89/-112 (1u) Pinnacle

120. Switzerland ML @ 2.00/+100 (1u) Pinnacle

Lean

SWISS ML + BTTS YES @ 4.56/+356  Pinnacle

The Swiss have a massive advantage in having 3 more days of rest versus Algeria. The Swiss have been in Vancouver since they played Canada in their last group game. Both nations faced a similar opponent in Jordan. The Swiss beat them 4-1 where as Algeria beat them 2-1. The Swiss have not been able to keep a clean sheet in their past 5 games. Algeria in their past 5 have only been shut out by Argentina. Take the better team and take the goals.

Hey DJ, is "fouls won" the same thing as "fouls drawn"

Bruno is +200 on The Score and +155 on FD for fouls won

FUTURES

13. Portugal World Cup winner @ 17.00/+1600 (1u) Unibet

The odds drifted enough for me just to take the outright bet instead of doing a roll over and it could be a quick exit looking at their path.

@dynamicz

 I have it worded as player to be fouled 2 or more ands its now at 1.72/-139

@Mac005

 not confident.. but outright  odds now back up to worth it 

@Maldinii

@pack4ever

@SPERRL

@barneybeans

@FresnoHawk68

@sh1tlrdoffck

on 365 it even says "2+ fouls won" with the "player to be fouled" on the betslip after placing

the odds discrepancy is crazy bw books though

@dynamicz

 I have about half a dozen books but mostly use Pinny & Bet365 

DJ-on that Portugal draw HT bet for sure and Swiss ML!
