Well, I do.superkingdave said:
Incidentally, Ivory Coast not looking good at half time, down 2-1 in a dead rubber with little to play for, aside from my money. One Serbian player sent off though, so you never know.

bah, my potential £90podd quid is reduced to about £9 by Argentina's failure to score, thought Tevez might nick it at the end.

I'm on holiday now, and will soon be very bored, so figured I might as well throw some money in the direction of the TAB in the hope of picking up some loose change. Problem is though, I've never bet on anything before, so don't really have a clue about what I should look for and what options I can take.
Anyone like to give me some tips so I can steal some money of the bookies? Cheers.

I've found accumulators (called multi-bets at TAB) are pretty good value - where you select more than one bet, multiplying the odds each time, and it pays off if all of them occur. There's not much to it really, if you can bet online just look through the various games and pick a few things you think are likely. You can start with outright results (Brazil and Italy to win or something), and move on to other things like first goalscorer, halftime/fulltime doubles, exact scores and so on. My two biggest wins so far have come on accumulators where I picked several results in the same day, including an exact score in one of them.Sir Redman said:
It can also be a good idea to put a bit of your money on a fairly safe bet, in the (likely) occurance that the others don't work out. I started with $25 a few days back, and put half of it on Sweden to beat Paraguay. When that happened, I had a bit more to work with the next day.
Knowing your luck in the prediction thread, you'll be a millionaire in no time.

Cheers. That's basically what I thought, try a couple of bucks on a few multi-bets and put a bit more on a more obvious result.FaaipDeOiad said:

I'm midway through a pretty good accumulator, with odds of almost $50 and a stake of $5. Main questionmark is Australia getting up - if we win, it's just Brazil, Spain and Ukraine from there, who all look good.

Recently I've wasted my World Cup winnings on AFL bets, which in turn I've lost in.
Now I'm prepared to do the reverse, and waste my AFL winnings on the World Cup. Decided to chuck a bit of dosh on the Ukraine, in the spirit of Newman from Seinfeld, and his battke with Kramer in the board game Risk.

lost a bit yesterday on stupid in play bets including betting on there being a card between 70-80 when there was one in the 69th minute then about 9million after the 80th minutes grrr.
Have a couple of bets on today but since my other computer's montior blew a transistor I can't currently bet whilst watching the games, so might be a quiet day or two betting wise.
