    I have Argies/Brazil pre tourney (see first page of this thread). I don't see the winner coming from anywhere else and I have seen nothing to change my mind. I think the value is gone with Argentina, especially with them being in the harder half of the draw.

    What do you think about Lesnar vs Carwin? Great value on Lesnar to get back my 1.8k? I am a fan of him in WWE. That guy is simply an animal. I just don't see how he can't win. He is real intense.

    I was on Lesnar but the dramatic line move scared me away. For me no Play on a guy coming back from a long illness

    That's why I said if you can't afford it dont gamble. If that game goes 2-2 after the Germany start, England wins. Now fate has gotten the way in my bet. BUT I have to say I have capped this wrong. Germany look like they have played together all their lives.

    England had the weight of the world on the shoulders and played like it. Tactically too Germany far superior. So The game has not gone the way I expected and hoped.

    But that goal not seen is just beyond sickening for me...I think 2-2 after that bad start Germany are fcuked. Now it seems the gods want Germany to win. It seems the only 3 people in the world that didn't see that goal were the ref and the linesmen...

    I only played the game over 2 and over for corners taken so I'm nutrual on sides. Just enjoying the game on this one. With this push to tie the game, hopefully they can get at least 5 more

    Sadly I have no complaints. The better team won and sadly for me I have gotten this BADLY wrong. I know the goal a 2-1 was a COMPLETE sickner but I think/know the best team won.

    I of course apoglise for those who have tailed me on this pick.        I feel I have let you all down. I have no more picks for the rest of the tournament. I have Brazil and Argentina and if one those win the tournament, I break even for this world cup. If not then down about 6-8k depending on future bets. Paraguay and Japan can do me a favour by going to penalties but my world cup hinged on this.

    I know some people might say this was a wreckless bet, but I truly believed in it and that is how I have made my money over the years. Backing big on something I believe in.

    I will bounce back in the boxing forum for sure that's a promise but again I apologise for the here and now.

    I hope your picks do well from here on in. I wish you all well but that was my last contribution to the world cup foum. It's been great fun, loads of ups and downs.

    Take Care,

    Mack

    Mack you are solid and knowledgable capper and rolled the dice today. We all do it and have all bee on on both sides. The feeling of hitting a big play that is like taking a shit while getting a blowjob and eating a chicken wing (not my quote).

    IMHO I do not think Japan/Paraguay will go to penatly kicks but rather be decided in regulation with Paraguay on top 1-0.

     

    Par/Uru/Chile are the "2nd place teams" of South America that never get recognicion but can wreak havoc. Japan is just not in the same class and Paraguay matches up well and will adjust their defense after scoring their first reckless goal. Even if Japan scores first Paraguay has the offense to still pull it off. No one wants to go to OT or PK.

     

    Thanks for your writeups and insight.

    Quite honestly, I dont think you have let ANYBODY down.  You have had an amazing run and chose to let it ride on a wager you truly believed in.

    Good luck the rest of the way

    I don't see Brazil getting past Holland and may havew a tough time vs Chile.

     

    My final 4 is Uruguay Holland and Argentina Paraguay with Argies vs Holland in the big one and Paraguay ending up 3rd.

    Thanks for all your efforts, Mack. Too bad they weren't rewarded in that last game. But, you have made a lot of friends on here.

    I've never bet on boxing, but you have my interest.
    God luck

    Thanks guys I REALLY appreciate the support. Normally you have guys kick you when you are down.

    I lost 23k today but gambling has given me a good life. I own my own house and car and have over 100k in the bank all from winning on betting. I get to live in the Canary islands for 4 months a year.. You have highs and low's. Today is a big low for me as 15% of my bankroll is gone (and that hurts), but if you are disciplined, don't react to losses in a negative way and you are good at capping sports, then you will make money in the long run. Patience and discipline are the key..I have lost before and will lose again. I make my money from betting big on matchups I believe in. Most win, some lose. That is life.

    I could easily try chase with Argentina tonight and normally these games Argentina win 4-0 to rub it in! but I won't as my judgement is clouded after a loss. A few weeks later back again for more and hopefully back winning again.

    I you keep tailing me guys for 100 bucks at a time. I promise you over the next few years I will make you money.

    I can only again apologise for today. Will do my best to make it up to your guys and appreciate the support.

    The last few hous, I have calculated all my bets from the start if the world cup. If Brazil wins the world and all my other bets lose then I am up (wait for it) 27 Euro's! If Argies win then up over 2k. Paraguay and Japan going to penalties would be the best result for me. I also have Argy/Holland/Brazil to qualify.

    Hopefully I can end up the world cup with some profit. Even if it's 27 euros!
