  • £5k World Cup Challenge: Bets 14 & 15
    I didn’t get the chance to post last night but I ended a run of 5 losing bets with a 7/2 winner on Mexico to beat France, so I brought my balance back up into positive territory and now sit on £304.18. Tonight’s England v Algeria match looks a cert to be a win for Capello’s men but at 1/4 is it worth the risk, especially after seeing Spain and Germany...

    £5k World Cup Challenge: Bets no.12 & 13
    Well the £5k Challenge has taken an absolute hammering today A late, late late goal by New Zealand and the dullest match you’ll ever see between Ivory Coast and Portugal has brought my balance crashing down to £314.18 and I’m almost back to the beginning again after a pretty decent start. I’m tempted to go big on Brazil on the Asian Handicap tonight...

  • £5k World Cup Challenge: Bet no.10 & 11
    Ouch. That last minute equaliser for New Zealand was a sore one, although I’m sure I’m not the only punter feeling it. But onwards and upwards to the next game and it’s a real cracker. Drogba starts on the bench but their side still includes the likes of Eboue, Dindane, Toure x2 and Kalou. Their a strong, powerful outfit and will give most sides a game....

  • £5k World Cup Challenge: Bet no.9
    Having already backed New Zealand to finish on 0 points I guess I have to oppose them today against Slovakia. The way games have gone so far it’ll no doubt be a close encounter despite the apparent gulf in class. I can take heart from Australia’s poor showing against Germany in the comfort that New Zealand didn’t even need to beat them to make it to South...

  • £5k World Cup Chalenge: Bet no.8
    Bet no. 8 and I’ve gone against everything that the form suggests. 9 of the 10 games so far have finished Unders and in Italy and Paraguay we have two teams with some of the best defensive records in qualifying. Therefore it should all be set up for a 0-0, or 1-0 win. But… odds of 1/2 on it finishing Under 2.5 goals is ridiculous and so I’ve gone against...

  • £5k World Cup Challenge: Bet no.7
    OK, very very briefly… I’ve gone with Holland in their game v Denmark that’s just kicking-off. I’m a wee bit cautious because I think the Danes could be underestimated and maybe cancel the Dutch out a bit. However, I couldn’t really find any other bet that caught my eye. Took 1.57 at Betfair and I’m having £100 on it. Good luck if you’re...

  • £5k World Cup Challenge: Bet no.6
    I can’t say I’m too enthused about watching Sunday’s first match of the day between Algeria and Slovenia but it might be a good chance to cash in on yet another Under 2.5 goals bet. Nine of Algeria’s 13 qualifying matches (69%) were under 2.5 goals. For Slovenia it was 7 from 12 (58%). Slovenia also had one the best defensive records in qualifying,...

  • £5k World Cup Challenge: Bets 3,4&5
    Sorry but I didn’t get the chance to post an article about Bet no.3. I’ve been tied up all day which meant I couldn’t get a bet on for the South Korea v Greece game (I’d probably have gone for Under 2.5 goals but never mind). I did however just get a bet on Argentina to beat Nigeria as the game was kicking off on Betfair. As you can see from my...

  • £5k World Cup Challenge: Bet No.1
    I’m at it again. I’m going to try and make this the most profitable 4 weeks ever and have set myself the challenge of turning £250 into £5,000 by betting on games at the World Cup. The plan is simple. I’ll be betting on each game when I can and mostly betting on markets that have just two outcomes; things like Under / Over 2.5 goals, Asian Handicap,...

  • £5k World Cup Challenge: Bet No.2
    Game no.1 proved as tough to call as I thought it would but I manged to get out of it unscathed and my full balance is still intact at £250 so it’s onto game no.2 and it looks equally tough. I’m really not into backing France in any way for this but I can’t disregard the quality they’ve got in their squad. As far as form goes though there’s...
