Hey guys, with the world cup coming up, I was wondering who you guys have money on as underdogs?

At the moment I am keeping my eye on Uruguay and Colombia.

No chance.cant even believe someone is putting money on those.I like Spain and Argentina if you can get best numbers

Colombia will win

Another ******.Put your money here instead https://www.unicef.org

Uruguay to win group (I think its like -120)
Griezmann golden boot (+1600)
Germany to make final
Germany to win it all

Denmark is my underdog. I have them at 5/1 for winning their group, in case France stumbles.

In Eriksen, we trust..

Squares Galore thread.Leave the Long shots and find Spain to qualify 1,12 and bomb it until there is no tomorow

I like props on these teams to advance:

Senegal +125
Morocco +340

why not Thomas Muller at 30/1 to win golden boot?

Says the square making 25k a year

Since the USMNT failed to qualify for the WC, I'll be heading to Vegas (June 14-17) with some soccer friends to drown our sorrows.

I've had the William Hill app for just over a year now, but will any of the sportsbooks be opening early for the World Cup this year? Looked online and haven't seen anything. Especially with France/Australia kicking off at 3:00 AM.

Anyways, for those days/matches, I'm looking at betting

Friday, June 15th
• Egypt/Uruguay (Could change depending on Salah, but the fact that Uruguay hasn't won an opening match since the WC was expanded to 24 teams in 1982 is worrying)
• Morocco/Iran [Draw]
• Portugal/Spain [Draw] (It was a draw the last time they played each other)

Saturday, June 16th
• France/Australia
• Argentina/Iceland
• Peru/Denmark
• Croatia/Nigeria [Draw]

Sunday, June 17th
• Costa Rica/Serbia
• Germany/Mexico
• Brazil/Switzerland (Brazil is 9-0-0 in the opening match since 1982)

Hammerzitzen 70k then ,300k this season .Blow me

FCTucson520

when you recommend a bet,write the odds at least

I've been seeing different odds online for each match, hence why I didn't list them in the original post

Friday, June 15th
• Egypt/Uruguay [Egypt] (-140 Uruguay, +425 Egypt, +260 Draw)
• Morocco/Iran [Draw] (+240 Iran, +130 Morocco, +210 Draw)
• Portugal/Spain [Draw] (-115 Spain, +340 Portugal, +245 Draw)

Saturday, June 16th
• France/Australia [France] (+1520 Australia, -500 France, +535 Draw)
• Argentina/Iceland [Argentina] (+950 Iceland, -300 Argentina, +375 Draw)
• Peru/Denmark [Peru] (+135 Denmark, +230 Peru, +230 Draw)
• Croatia/Nigeria [Draw] (+430 Nigeria, -140 Croatia, +250 Draw)

Sunday, June 17th
• Costa Rica/Serbia [Costa Rica] (+100 Serbia, +310 Costa Rica, +220 Draw)
• Germany/Mexico [Germany] (+650 Mexico, -220 Germany, +325 Draw)
• Brazil/Switzerland [Brazil] (+825 Switzerland, -275 Brazil, +365 Draw)

Has it been confirmed if Salah will, or will not, be playing?

I can't imagine Egypt having any sort of chance without Salah..

My Degen bet of the World Cup, odds courtesy of Bovada:

Most yellow cards of the tournament on a player from Uruguay.

Luis 'The Biter' Suarez +1400..

Russia to advance from group stage is only -270? Maybe I'm just a cynical ass who knows nothing about soccer, but between FIFA, Putin, and the fact that they're playing in Russia, just maybe the fix is in?

At those odds I think there might be a little value in Nigeria although I'd probably trade out in play if they went ahead.

russia blows. but so do the saudis. the question is if egypt can get the 2 spot. uruguay should roll that group

Right but Egypt basically has one good player and a bunch of guys named Joe right? My thesis is basically if not an outright fix, the refs are gonna let Russia get away with a LOT. Basically a bet on FIFA being ****ing corrupt as much as anything.

I think russia steps up not because of refs necessarily but just home field advantage etc.

think it finishes uruguay - russia - egypt - saudis

In the history of the WC, South Africa is the only host nation to not advance past the group stage (in 2010).

Hence, that's why the odds are -270. Also Saudi Arabia is horrific, and Egypt is certain now that Salah won't play. Egypt is pretty good defensively though.

This.

Not to mention all the Russian hooligans lobbing molotov cocktails at the opponents team bus each and every game..

So..which group has been labelled THE GROUP OF DEATH this year?

I'd guess it is probably the Germany-Mexico-Sweden-South Korea Group F.

Though Groups C and D look very tough, too..

Just want to add here: They were also the lowest ranked team of all the hosts on Fifa Ranking before WC in history. They were around 70-80th place when South African had WC. Russia is currently 70th on fifa rankings. Not sure if we can make some predictions out of it? For sure it is interesting.
Also, sometimes team that hosts WC fall on fifa rankings a bit before WC(they do not play qulifying games; so not much points for them; they get less points in friendly games).
