That is beyond sick 
. 75% of world cup profit wiped out with one idiotic piece of defending with 2 minutes left in the game.
Just goes to show guys no bet is ever guarenteed and soccer is never a sport to invest too much in. I ran so well for 5 days and as I said, 1 silly goal with 2 minutes left costs me most of the good work done so far in this tourney.
Well Lesson learnt. I am on Brazil and Argetina pre tourney and will play low stakes from here on in with the remaining profit I have left. Just a sickening ending there..If that holds up then I am laughing all the way. Tough loss but that's gambling.

First game is another game I HATE! Chile v Honduras. I don't even know where the F%^& Honduras is! Again a low play here for me and probably a NO PLAY. Just don't like the games like this..Maybe the under 2.5 which is hitting all tournament or both teams NOT to score in the game at the same price -150. Honestly it's Blahhhhh for me this game..Final decision NO PLAY..
Game 2: I like Spain but -400! Man there are NOT good odds. Going to mix and match here again like I have been doing so far to look for some value. Basically, I like Spain in the group stages. Always have and I think they have a better team then Switzerland. There is always the fear of Switzerland putting 11 guys behind the ball. They are strong enough to frustrate Spain for 90 minutes, so I will be cautious enough here, especially with my Brazil bet pending..
Going to Play Spain (-1) for -150 on the Asian Handicap for 600 and Spain to win by EXACTLY 1 @ +230 for 150. It will work out as 600 to win 400 if Spain wins by more then 1. If they win by exactly 1, I win 345...Anything less then a Spain win then I Lose..
Game 3: I have always hated Uruguay pre tourney and I honestly believe South Africa has a good chance to qualify. Uruguay are favourites, but I honestly don't see anything special about them.
I am playing South Africa 0.0 & +0.5 on the Asian Handicap for -125. Basically I am playing on the fact, I don't think Uruguay is going to win this game.
I also can't escape the under in the this game for -200..
Good Luck dudes. I am heading out to party with some Brazilians 
Tomorrow's plays, shit forgot about these. I could be in the loss column if Spain don't win!
Sorry to any who tailed me..Will do my best to bounce back for sure. I think I capped the game correctly. Sometimes that is not enough. Just a sick ending..
Good luck on your plays tomorrow guys..

money management?
I know brother, but I felt very good about the bet. I have made lot's of money from boxing since 1996, so this really isn't a big loss finacially for me. Sometimes you take a shot and it doesn't work out. Normally my bankroll management is top notch but I am not a flawless gamblers. I have invested too much in bets I shouldn't have and lost. This is another one.

2 woeful days for me has me 225 Bucks loss after being up 2k after the first 4 days...That Korean goal just ruined all momentum for me.
I will post the odd play here and there that I like (for all small stakes), but I am going to stick to my pre tourney picks with which my hopes of a good tourney will rest (I have 1k on both Argies and Brazil)..
Sorry guys for anyone who tailed me last 2 days. Just some brutal beats. After a blistering 4 day start, had a nightmare 2 days so going to refect (not chase) and look to bounce back in the Knockout stages..
Good luck as always with all your plays

Liked Argies -2 today and Nigeria to win. Didn't have one cent on it. So typical . Anyway tonight's game France v Mexico to me is a no Play. I just can't trust France and Mexico are not a bad team.
I might make a small play on the under 2.5 goals. France look to be solid at the back and not a great deal going forward. The winner of this game essentially is in the last 16, so with so much at stake I can't see an open game with lot's of goals. I think France would not be overly bothered with a draw as they would fancy beating South Africa last game and that result would take them through.
Vanzack is on fire lately and he fancies France. I just can't trust them myself so maybe another small play on Mexico +0.5.

Nice double hit last game gets me back to evens for the tourney,,
Tomorrow I Like Germany Straight up. I will ride the hot hand and Serbia looked bad against Ghana...
Upset special in game 2, I am going for Slovenia +300 to beat the US. History shows US always mess up games like this at previous tournaments. US are better team and deserve to be favourites here but I see Slovenia winning a 1-0 type of game. Playing the under and Slovenia +0.5 as well for evens.
Last game I see England struggling. Like England to win by exactly one goal @ +230 and England to win 2-1 @ +800

Ok, I have waited long enough. I except the public has been brutally pulverised (bar Vanzack!) this world cup and I may be about to join them tonight.
I had a big win on the boxing this weekend and tailed the V Man for the past 2 days getting back into postive figures for this world cup. I had planned to continue to follow the V Man or sit some of the games out as I have Brazil and Argentina Pre tourney and I was thinking that was enough.
However the books have put the bait out there tonight and I have bitten. Brazil are now trading just off evens...EVENS. Are they trapping me? Maybe so, but I cannot get away from that kind of value..
Let's look at the facts. Thus far the Samba Boys have not shown the free-flowing football we have come to expect from the Brazilians, but nevertheless they will have been happy enough with their opening 2-1 success over North Korea.
The Koreans, ranked 105th in the world, kept Brazil at bay for 55 minutes until Maicon's cross-come-shot swerved in at the near post and the three points were assured as Robinho laid on a second goal for former Manchester City team-mate Elano, although Ji Yun-nam gave them a late scare by halving the deficit and costing me €1600 quid!.
Yet there were signs of that flair and skill that have lit up so many tournaments in the past, even though this particular squad may be some way behind those all-conquering stars of the 1970s and 80s (and even 1994, 2002).
Ivory Coast claimed a hard-fought point against Portugal, although they did ride their luck when Cristiano Ronaldo struck the woodwork.
The fact Didier Drogba was able to come off the bench, albeit with a protective cast on his broken arm, was a huge boost for the Ivorians and the Chelsea striker could prove to be a huge threat to a Brazil defence that looks far from comfortable under pressure.
But even with Drogba, I feel Ivory Coast will be vulnerable at the back and the stage could be set for the unpredictable Brazilian forwards to announce themselves at this year's tournament.
I can't get away from nearly evens on the Brazilians. I always said if you can't afford it don't gamble. I am very fortunate that I can afford to take such a gamble.. After this world cup no bet is ever sure and Vanzack who has been on fire is on Ivory Coast +1. I had a strong feeling Brazlian v North Korea (-2) but I hold my hand up and say I got it wrong. I might get this wrong too, but I am making my biggest soccer play ever today...
4* Star bet. Brazil to beat Ivory Coast SU €10k to win €9k
I might be about to join the public smashing, but I really feel this is a fantastic play for amazing value. As always, I wish you luck with whatever you decide to go with..

. I can afford to lose in this spot, so please if you can't afford it don't bet much. I am well confident, but I have been confident before and lost..
I mentioned the size of the bet to show people that I am very confident here..My biggest ever soccer play...If it loses it loses, but near evens for Brazil against the Ivory Coast. I can't and won't get away from that..Good luck
looking good

Fantastic stuff! 
No feelings on tomorrow's games will probably just follow Van the Man. Will post my next pick(s) which will probably be Mexico and Uruguay to draw and England to beat Slovenia @-225.
England have been bad, but I think they will win their last match and I think they will do it by more then a goal. Going out for the evening to get VERY Drunk. Hope I helped out one or 2 guys tonight...Later dudes

Between the boxing forum where I have been hitting most play's for years and the soccer forum where I recommended 1) Athletico Madrid v Fulham (Madrid to lift trophy) as the soccer play of the season and now 2) tonight where I said this bet was the biggest soccer play I have ever made. Both hit. The odd great pick on the tennis forum where I am 3 for 3. I really don't know what I have to do to get some Covers Love sob sob
