Just turned the game on , looks slow and Morocco time wasting already. Read Spain hit the bar in the first half ?  

[JdsGooner90]

What a bore that was , there was only 5 shots between both sides after 70 minutes  Not the best game to back a goal, expected more from Spain. 

Try again soon

At least it was a bit of salvation for draw backers in the KO rounds!

I notice it was originally going to be max odds of 1.05 and reducing for this thread. World Cup KO games at prices like this one probably not the optimum medium to risk bigger odds.

There's so much at stake that almost any KO tie can end up going down the tentative 0-0 route.

It did start off with that intention but as usual boredom takes over and once I banked my £10 felt had nothing to lose so just went with gut.

Great game though. Didn’t manage to get matched on the draw so either wanted it over in the 90 or another pen shootout to land the >2.5 bet.

As someone might’ve said recently, today I feel …Croatian. 

[JdsGooner90]

No goals in 90 minutes then 2 in extra time ?

I may have to think of a way to actually start profiting rather then going for these near impossible challenges. 

At least Croatia won

They're virtually impossible challenges, yes...............but you set them yourself. Many a true word spoken in jest. We come back to the old patience and discipline thing. Although it didn't trip you up, why the rush to take three bets in one game? Look back, and you know it, you are always in a hurry.

A lot of it does come down to patience and is where I struggle. My first attempt where I lost on the Spain game, I was 50 bets in and I back a 1.10 shot, yes I fancied a goal but forgot for a moment what the aim of the challenge was. I just saw the bank growing with every bet and greed took over. Would probably be around bet 80 by now If I had just stuck to 1.01/1.02 from that point. 

I will go back to basics and stick to what I said in the first post of this thread and see where that takes me.

In a strange way it's almost, if not equally, satisfying to have a big run going as it is to be making big profits. It really does depend on how you are viewing a particular series of bets.

Start with a slightly bigger bank, that might stop you going for the higher odds and maybe slow things down a bit ?

Or use me as a pacemaker, only have a bet when I have one.
