My ranked 3s or weaker 2s to clobber the 4 in Group stage, thanks to GD being such a thing this WC:
Beware of Game 3! "NO play yet, a GAME 3" means it's on the radar but probably won't be a play - by the time it is, the odds will have greatly moved away while the teams involved are playing and off the board - Meaning if Game 3 were played 1st or maybe 2nd it would totally be a play
Note 3U is my normal, average bet size!
G2.FRI 6/12 GROUP B Switzerland -1½ -158 4U (vs Qatar - game 1!)
G3.SUN 6/14 GROUP D Turquía -1 +125 4U (vs Australia - game 1!) (-140/+200)

You're probably asking because I have Colombia over Portugal, who has the best midfield in the entire WC, to win group K?
In the group Colombia is currently in Portugal's shadow. Colombia Game 1 should be at least 2-0 or most likely 3-0. I feel Colombia's attack will be more aggresive than Portugal's in their games 1 and 2 and both will enter game 3 with 6 points each and both will play for the tie with Colombia winning the group on GD. According to my crystal ball.
Luis Diaz golden boot is a long shot but the odds are pretty high, I had to take a shot with him. Somewhat as an homage to James winning it in Brazil 2014. James is a shadow of his former self but rocks whet it comes to creating space and feeding Diaz and Suarez.
Also good odds are Colombia to reach R16. As a gambler I had to take that bet.
As a fan I would take Colombia getting to quarters as they did in 2014. But my wallet said no.
Colombia loves the heat, prefers the heat.
So there, I am justifying my current Colombia bets, mostly because I see value

G8. WED 6/24 GROUP C Morocco -1½ -118 3U (vs Haiti NOW A PLAY ODDS UPDATED, a GAME 3) PENDING
Will Morocco try to make a run for winning the group by making up GD against Brazil (up by 3) since Morocco has Haiti and Brazil faces a very good (much to my surprise) Scotland? This smells like a Morocco win by 1 possibly 2 but Haiti is eliminated so they may just play for pride and to possibly just score a goal in their final match for the fans back home - I'm not as sure as I was earlier about betting on Morocco to win by 2 or more but what's done is done and the line now on the -1½ is -183 (was +136 before Group C played a single match if you look above, post #7 in this thread)

G25. WED 6/24 GROUP A Mexico -110 1U (match 3 vs Czech)
Mexico should rest players but even with that I think they come to win in front of the home crowd and get to R32 with momentum. Czech needs to win so they will come to play but Mexico will/should give them a game. I liked the "win it all" odds for Mexico being somewhat of a host nation (divided by 3). Because of that they should not lay down. Only 1U in case I'm wrong.
G26. THU 6/25 GROUP F Netherlands -1½ -239 6U (match 3 vs Tunisia)
I've got the Dutch winning it all, so I have to take this match, also Japan will not lose so the Dutch have to rul this match and they will dominate vs Tunisia
G27. THU 6/25 GROUP B Bosnia y Herz -1 -155 3U (match 3 vs Qatar) G28. THU 6/25 GROUP B Bosnia y Herz -1½ +118 3U (match 3 vs Qatar)
This is -1.25 for all the old schoolers playing offshore
Even if the Swiss win, Bosnia has to score over 9 goals to beat Canada with 4 points if the Swiss cheezers only win vs Canada by 1. Basically Bosnia is playing to beat Qatar into oblivion. Or by less than 9 if Switzerland clobber Canada and lowers the Canadian GD tremendously - but both matches will take place simultaneously. But now there's 3rd place and Bosnia as of right now is 1 GD away from breaking from 9th to 8th place and qualifying to R32 and THAT is HUGE. But the -1 to -2½ are so low. Can the oddsmakers really be that wrong? I thought Bosnia vs Qatar laying 2½ would be -200 NOT +295! which is what is currently is @ Kalshi
So...
G29. THU 6/25 GROUP B Bosnia y Herz -2½ +295 2U (match 3 vs Qatar)
G30. THU 6/25 GROUP F Japan -110 8U (match 3 vs Sweden)
Japan can't risk playing for the TIE. Sweden should be going all out playing for the win as they are 0 GD going into this match and need some help (meaning up their GD) to make any 3rd place - and they can't do that without a win now can they. This will be a battle and Japan knows the Netherlands will finish with 7 points, so no fooling around for the Samurai Blues
