Hi Guys !

I like to put my money where my mouth is, and give you my World Cup bets.

I do online betting with William Hill, however, I used Coral in the town yesterday because Odds are slightly better, and therefore I used cash.

I withdrew £350 from the bank. I entered Coral to place my bets.

I have to admit that I broke my main betting rule - Do not back two back more than one selection in the same comp/race.

Why? - well because you are backing against your other selections, meaning your other stakes are wasted..... ie, -

You select two horses in the same race at 6/4 Joint Favs, with the same stakes, and you have the winner, you still lose.

How? - £10 on your winning horse at 6/4....you pick up £25 (minus your £10 stake) you gain £15...Right?......Then you realise that the £10 on the other horse is also part of the joint bet. Meaning that your £15 win, is now a minus £5.

Outlay - £20.........Pick-up - £15 = Minus £5



This is an exaggeration of course - Nevertheless, I broke my golden rule.

I placed the following bets in the same race/comp -

£150 - France WC Winners @ 5/1 = £900
£150 - Spain WC Winners @ 9/2 = £825
£50 - England WC Winners @ 7/1 = £400

If the winning team is above, the least I will win will be - £50. The most I will win will be £550.

That said, the temperature conditions will favour all non European teams......Brazil, Argentina etc


What are your bets guys?

Struggling to get interested in this up to now. Hopefully once it starts I will have a couple of cheeky little bets, Just purely for interest. England will be one of them to win the WC. I have drawn the Dutch in the works sweepstake so will have a couple of bob on them.

Inclined to agree in that I think the South American teams will do well.

‘You select two horses in the same race at 6/4 Joint Favs, with the same stakes, and you have the winner, you still lose.’


This is wrong. £10 on each selection. £20 spend. If one of them wins your return is £25. £5 profit.

I can see why you’re the forum betting expert <laugh>

You get your stake back on a winning bet.

You make profit backing two 6/4 selections with the same stake.

Not on my page either.

What normally happens is after you take the special offer bet, they remove it so you can't use it again.

These offers are normally first thing in the morning.

I have also been given these Special offers odds too -

* Kane top England scorer EVS from 4/7
* Messi to score in the Group stage EVS from 1/7
* Ronaldo to score in the Group stage EVS from 1/7

You have to quick though....
