xHeroOfTheDayx WC 2010 --- Road To Big $$$

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

Hey everyone, long time no see! Hope everyone is doing well, by the looks of it, no one even looks in here anymore?

I have devoted the last year in preparation of this years World Cup. I'm 1000% familiar with every single team, and couldn't be more confident that I will be making some serious bank on these games.

I'll use this thread as a discussion of games, and post all of my plays. If you are excited as I am about this years World Cup, and plan on maybe tailing some of my plays, PLEASE make sure you have 2.5 totals, and standard adjusted totals to your disposal.

I will only be using Sportsbook.com (2.5 totals, and countless props), and Bookmaker.com (Adjusted game totals, this low juice value).


My starting roll will be $3,000
Let's call it: The Road To $15,000

No doubt in my mind this will be fairly easy to accomplish.

Man, those 19 days are going to take FOREVER to get here.

LET'S GET THE BALL ROLLING!!!!!

My roll is slightly larger now, so i'm changing my goal to: $17,000 by WC end.


WORLD CUP

Uruguay +0.5 (-105) vs. France
$525 to win $500

One of my top plays for group stages. France is going to have a HELL of a time trying to contain Diego Forlan here. Not only is he insanely in form heading into the WC, but he seems to still only be getting better. When these elite players put on their countries jerseys when it matters the most, the end result is always special.

I would of loved to see France about a -200 fav here, but that's not happening. They are only -105 to win the game. Which is flat out begging for money on France.

France has a huge problem netting more than a single goal against anyone. Uruguay will be able to keep Anelka in check, if not blank him.

My bold prediction: Uruguay 1-0 France (Although the most likely scenario is a 1-1 Draw.

I saw that you said you use sportsbook and bookmaker. Which book did you get this line at? GL, I'll be following you!

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

Wow, France LOST to China today. Friendly or not, France had all their big guns going. Downright pitiful.

Good to see ya wsox!

I got that line at Sportsbook. I see it's at -130 now after I placed by bet.

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

Let's start this off win an easy winner!

WORLD CUP

South Africa vs. Mexico Under 1.5 Goals 1H (-333)
$333 to win $100

This line is -500 at Bookmaker, so grab it at Sportsbook.

Giving up the first goal at the cup is monumental. For the second you concede, you are in last place of the entire tournament. Mexico is by far the supirior team talent wise, but with 90,000 fans so emotionally invested in their home team, South Africa will be in this bigtime, and might even pull out the W.

Nonethless, theres NO way both teams net a goal before HT. There is also NO chance someone has a 2-0 lead at HT. If someone has a 1-0 lead at anytime during the 1H, they will undoubtably hold the ball into HT, and make necessary adjustments to get them out of the game with the 3 pts.

Prediction: South Africa 0-0 Mexico

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

One more...

WORLD CUP

South Africa vs. Mexico - Mexico or Draw -250
$500 to win $200

I just can't see SA winning this game. The high altitude bold well for the Mexicans, and even if they don't come out with 3, it's hard to imagine them not coming out with at least 1.

I would play the draw, but I don't want to get burnt by a Mexico win.

Prediction: South Africa 1-1 Mexico

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

What a TERRIBLE offsides call. Mexico should be up 1-0 right now.

EASILY, EASILY... THE WORST call I have ever seen in my life. Unreal.

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

South Africa 0-0 Mexico HT +$100

1-0

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

Mexico has 30' to net one here. They should be able to..

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALASOASOASO ASOASOASOASO

South Africa 1-1 Mexico

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

South Africa 1-1 Mexico FT +$200

World Cup Record
2-0
+$300

[xHeroOfTheDayx]

Both my predictions were spot on.. hopefully I can continue that. I should really start laying a bit on "Correct Score".

Kick off is in 2 HRs.
