Anyone backing Ante-Post?

I've €40 on Brazil so far at 5/1, hoping to have €200/€300 on them by the tournament. 

I'd only have the odd bet here and there over the course of a week nowadays so I can see the benefit in throwing €10/€20 by the week and having one big bet on a team.

If I was having a bet anytime from last summer up to the actual ko of the World Cup, I would have been all over Brazil. They tick every single box when you watched them during qualifying. The actual tournament is light years away though, form, injuries, etc. - so I was very tempted to keep ploughing away into Brazil outright bit by bit but decided against it based on the above. Iirc correctly Brazil were between 6s and 7s thorughout 2016, which was a great price for a side I'd consider favs at that time.

I really think the best thing is to hold firm until closer to ko. Argentina who were absolutely horrible in qualifying are an interesting one. They have a very tough group in the world cup and I actually think that will stand to them if they get through it.

Argentina are overdue a good thumping for their unpunished pathetic qualifying campaign, Messi will carry them (as per) a few rounds in then the good thumping will take place.

Argentina were doing what they, Brazil and plenty of other huge national sides had done many times in the past - employed a manager way out of their depth. They ditched Bauza and brought in Sampaoli to save their campaign and they just about managed it.

With the few weeks before the tournament together, friendlies and those 3 tough group games in the World Cup, they will be well primed for the knockout rounds if they make it there. Sampaoli has proved himself to be a top international manager. He really hasn't yet had the chance to put his stamp on this side. When he does, with the talent available to them, they could be a serious contender yet.

The problem lies in the midfield, its actually non-existant. Di Maria does things no one understands, Sampaoli called up Gago to try and restore a bit of common sense to the midfield but he ruptured his ACL after 6 minutes, so that plan went to sh*t basically.

The burden of sharing the goals is probably another concern, the unknown Benedetto instead of playing Dybala or Icardi missing chance after chance after Messi kept serving them up on a plate against Peru like he was some sort of AI (the assists were that good) was pretty horrifying to see.

Aguerro 25/1 so it's an amazing double.

Likewise, getting Thiago back from injury is hugely important would also be good if Diego Costa started banging in a few goals!

They are strong all over, if they put this team out I can't see anyone beating them!

De Gea, Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba, Busquets, Iniesta, Thiago, Isco, Asensio and Costa.

Could probably make a good case for starting David Silva, Azpilicueta and Saul too.

These are the favs
Germany  5/1
Brazil 5/1
France 6/1
Spain 8/1
Argentina 9/1

I don't see anybody else winning it.
I would actually take out Argentina and say the winner will be one of the top4

Next favs are Belgium (12), England (20) and Portugal (29).

Couldn’t go too far wrong by backing muller top scorer and Germany to reach the final. Germany so consistent in the big tournaments. Would love to see Argentina play to the way their individual talent would suggest they could but unlikely to happen. Any thoughts on dark horse? I reckon Nigeria and Mexico could cause a lot of issues for the bigger teams.

Doubt Salah/Egypt will make it out of their group so top GS will be a stretch.

France/Greizemann should be good value but for some reason no bookie has that priced up(per oddschecker)

Salenko in 94 was the only person to ever win the golden boot without making it out of the group stage.

Roger Milla scored in that game becoming the oldest player to score in the World Cup. Some damn fine records broken in that game.

Anyone thinking of having a few bets on outright markets the RP guide is brilliant. I have bought it for the last few tournaments, it gives a great round up of each team with some good articles as well.

Usually about a tenner, be out April/May if previous years are anything to go by.

Do like the look of Brazil. 

There's so many #10's in the squad it's not even an issue if Neymar or Jesus gets injured - They've had Coutinho there, Firmino there and even Paulinho have a stormer there.
Casemiro and Fernandinho have had great seasons for their respective clubs which solidifies that midfield.

It'll take some doing to beat them.

A massive issue if Neymer gets injured their best and most influencial player. No doubt they have a good team and will rightly be one of the favourites.

Beginning to think Salah's form could help Egypt cause some upsets this summer. 

They got the easiest group, Russia, Uruguay and Saudis. Few goals from Salah should carry them out of that.

After that they'd meet someone from the group with Spain and Portugal. Wouldn't give them much chance to beat Spain, but could do a job on Portugal.

Bit far fetched to think Salah could get golden boot after 4/5 games (40/1), but getting out of the group (6/4) should be a given IMO

Ramadan ends the night of the first match, so they won't have any dietary concerns. However, it is likely that their entire squad will have been fasting during sunlight hours for the entire month leading up to the tournament. How much that affects their preparations and fitness is anyone's guess. You'd assume they have training sessions in the morning shortly after sunrise (and an hour or so after having eaten) but it is bound to have some manner of an effect.

I know players observe Ramadan on a regular basis in England and elsewhere but this is a bit different. It's a small thing when you have one or two players on the team, and the effect may not be noticeable (as happens in the EPL). It's also different when you have teams entirely composed of those observing Ramadan (say in the Egyptian league). But it's unusual enough to have a national team that is entirely affected playing another with no affected players.

It would obviously be more of a factor if Ramadan was during the World Cup but it might still have an effect.

I wouldn't rule Argentina out, handy group and they have Messi! Saying that they will need to improve quickly at the back and in midfield.
Would have said that Argentina have by far the toughest group on the tournament myself. If they come through it though, it will stand to them massively in the knock outs.

Right you are, got them mixed up with France for some reason.

Colombia could be worth a punt for an outsider, should win their group easily and are likely to play England in the last 16.

Anyone have already or intends on having a punt on certain markets for the World Cup?

I've €200 on Brazil thus far, small few quid on them e/w too!

Lukaku as top goalscorer is sticking out, Cavani/Suarez could run riot in Group A.

A hat trick against anyone in the group stages can see someone having four or five in the group stages - given that six is probably enough for the top scorer, anyone with some (really) weak opposition in their group stands a good chance of being top scorer.

I'm looking at South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Australia in particular. Panama could ship a few but I think the others are weaker. Suarez and Griezmann would be the top two picks, with (maybe) Thomas Muller having a chance as well.

I think Lukaku is a good ew bet at 20s.Belgium could run riot vs Panama and Tunisia in the group games and he is the main striker.

A bet i often do during tournaments is team top goalscorer. Can get a nice 3 or 4 player accum going for a bit of interest. 

Will do a few top group/qualify bets as well.


My main bet will be Spain outright.

Lukaku has a excellent goalscoring for the national team. 1 in 2.

€200 on Brazil thus far?! Shocked That's some serious airgead to be backing a team that's nowhere near clear favourite. 

For your sake GD, I hope the win it LOLWink

Not a hope Lukaku will be top scorer imo

Some good value in the top scorer for each nation. For example, Shaqiri is 2nd favourite at 5/1 for Switzerland despite Seferovic being hopeless in front of goal more often than not

Ideally you want somebody like Lukaku who will be the main striker and he does have Debruyne and Hazard behind him.
But I don’t think he will take the Peno’s.

Suerez and cavani may spread the goals for Uruguay. Same with Neymar/Jesus. I’ll put some cash on Griezmann.


I think golden ball is a good bet. 
FIFA really want one of Neymar/Messi or Ronaldo to win it.
I can see Brazil at least getting to the semi finals so will put some cash on Neymar.

Group A to have the most goal 9/1

Have a rake of bets on. A lot of 1 euros like dualcast accumulators, name the semi finalists and winner/goalscorer doubles. Great odds to chase.  
Just need one of the best come in to break even and maybe one of the wild predictions comes to play and make a nice profit. 
Either way it's all a bit of fun

I just have a score on Spain @ 6/1. Might do one or two others before the tournament starts. Will bet on most games during the World Cup anyway.

If Salah isn't properly fit Egypt could struggle. You'd imagine Russia will get off to a winning start in the opener against the Saudis as well.

Saudis Draw No Bet 13/2

67th in the world v 70th in the world... 
Saudis beat the Japs and drew with the Aussies in qualifying. If it was Japan v Russia I think more people would give them a bit more respect based on previous World Cups. Russia are puke to watch, haven't won a game since last October against Korea Republic. 






Then again Gary Breen scored against the Saudis

I think people are being slightly harsh on the Saudis & Egypt. I think both will trouble Russia. If Salah is fit & playing well Uruguay & Egypt will progress. 
Having watched highlights of Russia’s warm up games, they really are muck.

Been looking at the more obscure markets, there's a few hidden gems.

I fancy Peru finishing 2nd in their group and knocking out the Argie's in the 2nd round, you can get 12/1 on Peru finishing at Quarter-finals.

6/1 for Panama to be the tournament's lowest scoring team, even Australia at 12/1 is a great shout how they still rely on Tim Cahill

Even Carsten Jancker managed to score against them - that's how bad the Saudis were that year! LOL
 
But their form in qualifying for this tournament as you have mentioned suggests they'll be a damn sight better than that pitiful team from 2002. That opening match may not quite be the home banker that many expect it to be for Russia.
