World Cup 2014 Thread....

The guy is down a couple units of a very large bankroll. The opening games are very tough to cap. Relax. Long way to go. If you bet large on opening round games... you need your head checked

Ill be honest, I tailed blindly cause I know nothing about soccer! Im not blaming anyone. I actually bought out of spain game, lose the juice, lucky I did!!!

Van, good luck bro. I know u can do it
Stay positive
Kill the book
No one should bash on van, hes only here to help. Just a bad start, he will be fine.
Heres im losing a couple hundreds, im sure vam is losing a lot


Best of luck, im still tailing

Haha people are funny. Vanzack is a class act and if you blindly follow you shouldn't have a say. I trust in Van when I first time I met him in 2010.

Van I know how you work so keep it up my friend.

Whats the feeling on Chili??? I know u are on them Van but any leans on how the first 3 games played out? Do you see it higher scoring than prev thought?

You noticing a trend?

Should probably put money on Australia +1 at this point.

No one saw that embarrassment coming by Spain.. No one.

This now marks two consecutive world stage games where the Spaniards have been absolutely dismantled.  Brazil did it last year by the score of 3-0 in the Confed. Cup, and now the Dutch with their blitzkrieg today. 

Wow have the mighty have fallen !!!

People that come in this thread to bash are going to get a very short leash.

 READ THIS over and over to yourselves 

Yeah, didn't see that coming. 

First opening round play is up next. Chile -1.5 (2); Chile -2.5 (.25); Chile wins and Aussies dont score (.75).  This should be a scrimmage.   GL, everyone. 

Haters, please hurt youselves. Van forgot more about international soccer this morning than most of you ever knew. 

Hey, I take my lumps.  Fire away. 

I deserve it.

Just stick around until the end.  I will be here.  Hope you will be here too.

Let go Chile.

all good vanzack

i ain't going anywhere..................

 

 

til the wheels fall off.........................

 

cheers van!

Chile will get it done. 

I love u van! 

A review of what I saw today....

Cameroons defense was lucky.  Lucky to not have given up more today, and I have learned - these are not things that are easily fixed.  Look at the Mexico goal - the gap that was between the center backs was amazing - and both watched the Mexico player (I think dos santos) easily receive a ball between them.  This happened over and over an over - and then on top of it - the flanks and breaks were there all day for Mexico.

Not impressed at all with Mexico's finishing and buildup today - I think they should have done much more.  I am curious to see if Mexico is going to get too much of a bump by bettors after this one.  Still feel like Croatia is the class of the 3 contenders to go through with Brazil.

I have no idea what to make of the Spain / Neth game.  I really don't.  I have watched enough of these tournaments to know that these teams rarely bounce back - there were fundamental issues that Spain had that remind me of France 4 years ago. 

Casillas?  Seriously?  There is a very interesting fact about this WC - I wrote it earlier - but 3 of the top teams GK's did not even start at their club teams - and he is one of them.  I rarely cap keepers in to a game - I feel like they even out in the end for the most part - but have been on the wrong end of the stick in 2 of the 3 games so far.  He looked lost today.  On the ground way too quickly.  Just terrible technique.

And I don't know what to adjust about my thoughts with the Dutch either.  They played like I thought they would - just much better.  They might match up well against a team like Chile who should be easy to counter against.  The RVP goal was just a thing of beauty.

But overall - have no idea what to do with both second round games in this group now...  Going to have to let it marinate and get some clarity in the coming days....

 

Chile should get it done. Vamonos chicos!

Chile should get it done. Vamonos chicos!

attention potty mouth fools in here-this dude finished like 9th in the NFL LVH Super book contest last year-a season full of good plays-and took home serious $$$-while you took Denver in the Super Bowl, and so on...so believe or go away...

I reemember some guy named Mark frm last WC right here n this forum who was w/o a doubt a braggar w/o any stats to bhack him up. I remember the figure Van said he made on that WC ... It was 75% of what Obama makes in a year....Van if I'm wrong tell me because my meds are getting stronger ...

Chile should get it done. Vamonos chicos!

I doubted Van last year and ate my words and kicked myself in the arse for not tailing his bets. He made a small fortune and had a few bad runs but in the long run he won and did so in great fashion. His celebrity status has been earned. Bet at your own risk and cry on your wifes shoulder. We are men here so everyone act like it. Dont bet what you cant afford to lose.
