france are dangerous, brazil arent turning it up yet.

This is too risky IMO, i might to a quad bet in the local real life bookmakers, something along the lines of....


Argentina=win/England=draw/Brazil=win/Italy=win.

that would be a nice payoff from a $10 bet

I don't get it you said

"Brazil, whoever they play. But it aint worth it for the odds. too much of a risk"

But the odds aren't bad at all, $25 for every hundred (where a typical fig is $10 for every $100). Now you're saying France is too good of a team and might draw/win.... thats fine -- but if u think Brazil is going to take it, the vig isn't gunna pursuade you not to take them.... if they were -200, -300, -400 understandably...but -125?

i didnt get that odds thingy. My bad.

so i bet $1,000, i win $250 if they win?

Those arent odds id make a bet on, id stay away from it personally if your making a straight up win after 90.

Brazil is -125. That means I have to risk $125 for every $100 I want to win.

France is +350 That means I have to risk $100 for every $350 I want to win

Brazil was normally in the -300 - -500 range. Meaning on most of their games thus far you'd need to risk 300 (or 500 or whatever they were minus) in order to win 100,

The Argentina line has moved up $10 to +190 and Germany has moved down $20 to +150... seems thats the direction of the money thus far (my guess bc of home field)

France has moved up to $360 and Brazil has moved down to $-140... showing where the bettors have been going thus far

The other two games are still the same

Brazil is at -150 over at bodog. At -125 I'd seriously consider putting money in there and placing a bet.
