Why? Uruguay are class. They can definitely get out of their group.


Castrol reckons:




Klose won it with only 5 goals - not like you have to be in a team that plays 7 games anyway esp when you bang in over a goal a game for nearly 50 games in a season. I reckon 100/1 is very good.

uruguay arent class, what makes you say that?

Maybe 'class' was a little optimistic but..

Very good going forward basically. I think any team with a decent chance of progressing the group stages (60%ish?) that has a nailed-on starting striker priced at 100/1 is showing pretty good value.

Kinda similar to your Bentdner bet, the bookies reckon the Danes and Uruguay have around the same chance of qualification (though Castrol reckon Uruguay have a slightly better chance).

cant put you off the 100/1 no chance, in fact i have to put a tenner on now cos i will never forgive myself lol

sh58 is going big on uruguay, they seem a popular choice

i cant decide wether they are value or not tbh to progress

i mean ive been banging on about domenech being pants but i realised he actually took them to the final then penalties in 2006, i think they will get through the group stages, i wouldnt look to lay them which was my initial thought

S Africa look pants on paper but home nations always always do well, mexico are a decent little outfit and Uruguay have some great players and a great strikeforce so its a really tough group to call

what price is suarez to be there top goalscorer? i bet Forlan is really short so you might get a good price on that

one more bet i went big on was serbia to qualify at evens, especially when i hear Essien was out for the world cup, £2k on that so heres hoping

11/4 is best price on that, that I can see.

I was gonna do the same and put a bit on Serbia to qualify this afternoon then I saw they lost to New Zealand.. know what sorta team they had out for it?

USA losing again is a good sign...

is there any update on this

loving the world cup bets, i have rob green to start in goal vs usa at 4/1, i mean i hope he doesnt but seemed like a v good deal

Suarez top Uruguay goalscorer is at 5 on Bwin

I have 100$ riding on it and I might bet more at these odds

Woowwww

Fantastic odds. Was looking here http://www.oddschecker.com/football/...top-goalscorer

They don't have odds listed for bwin. Strange.

What are your thoughts on bubbles33? Played a lot of HU with him today, and I just can't figure him out. One minute he's so nitty, and the next he's extremely aggro Is he good or bad?

Dropped to 4/1 Glam.

Was still about to put a few k on it, but told me I could only bet $250. Bad times. Their line on Forlan is better than all others I have seen too fwiw.

he seemed pretty solid when i played him, but he spewed in some spots and i took him for a few k at 3/6. also seen him go spewtastic at 10/20 and 3bet like 60%

yeah serbia lost to new zealand, which worried me a bit

BUT

spain 2-2 saudi arabia until the final minute when spain scored a last minute winner to make it 3-2

so i dunno how mucha can you read in to these

Hmm yeah. He's much much harder to play aginst when he's tilted imo

Well 4/1 = 5, I'm using decimal odds.

They seem to have pretty good odds on team goalscorers, some better then all other bookies (8.5 on Pantelic, 4.5 on Klose etc)

8.5 on Pantelic???? where is this

i got matched at 150/1 on betfair eggmeister, only a tenner mind!

was out for a bit last night and speaking to some electrician who was gonna put 500 on crouch top goalscorer 66/1, sick bastard


my biggest gamble atm is still south korea to not to lose to greece in there game, also to get promoted and greece finish bottom of that group

bookies are rating greece way above s korea but i think s korea are better

betandwin are pretty sweet really, they go best price on a lot of markets

bubbles is annoying. runs like god then quits as soon as i win a buyin.

discuss...

Yeah I am all over this as well, probably won't bet them to qualify as I think it will be Argentina-Nigeria, will check the price tho. Will certainly be betting Korea versus the Greeks and probably Greece to finish bottom also.

check back flop, maybe fold turn, def fold river.

i agree with preflop

It's time for an update/brag!

After complaining on here about how I was having a tough time at poker I decided to cash out my roll from iPoker for a much needed "vacation". I also decided to sell my condo because it is just too much stress for me to handle while playing poker full time. I'm really happy with this decision as it will give me about $80k to have in my bank account on top of my poker roll. The last year and a half really showed me how important it is to not have to rely on winning to pay the bills.

Anyways, after about 2 weeks away from the table I got bored and deposited $800 on Stars to play some SCOOPs with a nice 3-5 buyin roll.







So let me just say this has been a pretty good "vacation".

Quite a few of you mentioned that the biggest problem with my game was the pressure I was under month to month. I took that into account and decided to get rid of most of the pressure I was under. To do that I decided to sell my condo. I've obviously run ridiculously well this month at tournaments but I do think that not feeling pressured to win really helped me late in these tournaments. I wasn't nitting up with 25 left, I was playing for first. The money didn't mean the world to me anymore, it was just the competition that I was craving. It made me feel like I did when I was crushing the cash games back in 2008 but not worrying about how much money I was making. The only thing on my mind back then was making sure my BB/100 would go up. Competition. That's what poker is all about. Not money.

I know it's hard to give credit to the people in the iPoker regs thread when you run good at tournaments, but I sure will try. Following everyones advice has made me a happier person. Thank you for that.

good on you.

Hi all, first post here, long time lurker etc. Anyway my internet connection is down at home for possibly the worst weekend for this to happen, so after fuming and spluttering down the phone to someone who can't speak english very well at BT and them telling me someone will ring back tomorrow, I came into work to try and play, but everything gambling related is blocked (except 2+2 for some reason). does anyone know if there is any way at all for me to defy this gambling block and play on will hill. long shot I know. i have never used the transfer feature on willhill but if anyone tells me something that works I will transfer a small present of 20 pounds to that sn.

thanks
