World Cup Betting

[James90]

I'm all about trading Betfair futures markets these days.

I'm on the Windies to miss the semis (jumped on during the Australia game at evens).

Rohit Sharma for most runs and Cummins for most wickets. Unfortunately I cashed out my Shakib most runs bet when they had the wash-out against Sri Lanka. His price has halved since.

I see that the bookies/punters still haven't learned. I think Australia will beat Bangladesh but they are at unbackable odds (1/6).

Markets think this has yet been the most predictable WC of all time

South Africa the side with the greatest change in odds.

That 175.5 is getting teased hard

 

[Starfighter]

That South African plummet on that graph... they really have had a torrid time haven't they?

It hurts. Warner could have got there so easily today haha

Yeah pretty happy with the Root win over Dhawan but would have liked it to be a fairer contest.

Im on Kusal Mendis today at 6.50 to be SL highest run scorer. I feel like its time for SLs middle order to put on a bit of a rescue act.

Good at sniffing out a bet

wrote that when he was 40*^

But in other news, maybe now would be a good time to put a bet on England as their odds have inflated a bit to win the WC ...

That is if you think they can still do it!

The logic was there for Mendis, annoyingly if he got to 50 i would have got my money back in bonus bets. So close yet, so far.

I put a dumb bet on Perera to win MOM, in that scenario SL would have likely won so should have just bet on the victory instead of trying to be clever.

I really find exotics to be a mugs game, I like to mainly have the goal of my bets align with the team's goals. So going for a win, or to score over 320 runs in the 1st innings, I at least know it's their plan to go for that. First try scorer bets in NRL or most sixes or whatever are such a lottery

Dream scenario last night. Put money on a Sri Lanka win when England were 80/3 ish then when Stokes started hitting sixes put money on England. Good profit regardless.

Can we all please wait until someone is on 176 before pulling out the 'he's going to score 200' jinx dismissal so MM can cash in first.

What if it ended in a tie

Haha, not sure William Hill has options for a tie but if it came down to the last over I would have searched for that option.

NZ are so underrated there.

 

[Bahnz]

A bit surprised that Englands odds have stayed so high. Lose to Australia tomorrow and all of a sudden missing out on the semis is a real possibility.

 

[stephen]

I like that Australia's odds have gone up largely on the backs of games they didn't play in. All the sides have shown weaknesses this tournament.

How the **** are we only 12%? England may not even reach the semis!
