WORLD CUP TODAY PLAYS (6/17)

For the record...I SMASHED England ML though I had that "drawbreaker" which only insures $250 of my play and I put substantially more on it.  Might as well just come out and make it an actual play...

ENGLAND (-150):  High price to pay but I think they get it done.  Bear in mind England is one of the most bet on team, think the Cowboys or Dodgers in their respective sports.  As this is an international tournament there are lots of bookmakers across to the globe taking action and moving the lines.  But I think the Three Lions get the goal(s) they will need and if they limit their mistakes, should really be the victors here as they are superior as a squad.

AS for the record this Am...

PORTUGAL FH (-145) 

OVER 2.5 FG (DR CONGO/PORTUGAL) 

Still can't believe both of those plays lost in typical Portugal fashion.  Leaving holding the bag and asking why or how does this always seem to happen lol.

Updated Record:  29-9 (BIG PLAY: 10-2)

Ok, that will be all for the moment.  Hope everyone enjoys the game and pretty certain after the match we'll be meeting at the window for the first time today.  As always, good luck to all... 

Harry Kane 

One more try 

Harry Kane 

@lik122 I feel like you are the only one actually following the plays lol.  J/K but man I've been lethal on goalscorer getting them chased early alsmot every try.  Maybe I just keep on with taking that play?

But yeah, great early W for us all...

Great pics, will be following here on in, seems the other top soccer capper went political in his thread and really don’t want to see that when I’m looking for winners not whiners 

@LAGameofInches

 Congrats on Harry Kane!!!

Harry Kane x2 

@LAGameofInches

 What would u lean second half... over 5.5 is plus money seems like a set up when there might only be one more goal if any. 

I do think there might be over 5.5 at plus money thats a small price to take a stab at some profit.

I guess if I liked England FG I like them even more now so that's what I would select.  

@LAGameofInches

 SHOUTOUTGAME OF INCHES I GOT ML ENG RIDING THE WAVE I HAVE adhd n i mean to reply to ur picks but putting the pic in, in time n having my daughter around running has my mind going like 1000mph however just know I've been tailing!! Much appreciated bought some Disney tickets for the fam after a great day yet thx to u 

3-2

@Buzz44 by the way I took that over 5.5 because I thought England can score 2 themselves in this half and then added to the England ML.  May the Queen be with us...OMG they just scored!!!  AMAZING as I write the post they get halfway there!

@LAGameofInches

 Thanks. Maybe Colombia team total over 1.5 and Ghana/Panama over 1.5 for plus money instead of Colombia team total over 2.5. What are your thoughts between the final two games today. If you were looking at one big bet preferably plus money 

@diesel25

 I just hate parlays, always feels like one leg loses

4-2

I feel better now for the garbage performance of PORTUGAL

@LAGameofInches

 Thanks so much for the picks

This was amazing and as I said I doubled down at the half and then blindly tailed @Buzz44 halftime over.

Exceptional.

HARRY KANE ANYTIME GOALSCORER (+125)

ENGLAND (-150) 

This has been a great tournament so far, more money to be made today, don't worry.  As I said, I think we will be meeting at the window here and indeed we are.  F Portugal!

Updated Record:  31-9 (BIG PLAY: 10-2)

Some big plays coming, be back in a few.  Hope everyone has made some cash.

F Portugal! Garbage 

@LAGameofInches Thanks for all the plays you've been posting! I only check the soccer forum for your picks—I really appreciate everything you've shared. I look forward to continuing to follow your posts!

Ok, next game, just got the premonition I was hoping for :).

Two pretty evenly matched teams, Ghana was sensational during qualifying as was Panama.  Since qualifying though, Ghana failed to win any of their six friendlies (D1, L5), and have won just one of their last seven World Cup matches (D1, L5).  That is really not very good.

Panama on the other hand, is like a new team under their coach Thomas Christiansen though, having lost just two of their last 13 matches (W5, D6), and considering that those defeats came against Brazil and Mexico, they should not be as heavy underdogs as they are.  Period.

Better players, Ghana.  In fact with Antoine Semenyo on their side I see it close to impossible they do not score.  Being that part of the issue for Ghana has come from a leaky defense, and that None of ghana’s last ten World Cup games saw them keep a clean sheet, conceding 2+ goals in each of their last six, it's safe to say we might see some goals.  

I expect an empty stadium but I think this is a case of the reverse for the African teams, where one African team comes in over confident in beating a Central American side and that might be trickier than they might have imagined:

PANAMA +.5 (-160) ALT LINE

YES BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (PANAMA/GHANA) -110...BIG PLAY!!!

I really like a dart on Semenyo to score but I'm going to stay put with these two plays.  I'd also throw a dart at Panama FG as I see this playing out similarly to how the game between the Ivory Coast and Ecuador, two similar teams in style, ended up.  In that matchup, the IC were the ones to surprise and win with long odds and a generous return.  There is enough of a chance of that happening here too.

As always, tail or fade, good luck to all...

As always , BOL
