My brother just told me about a bet I had when I was too young to remember. 1974 WC, we had a mini sweepstake, one brother picked West Germany, the other picked Brazil, and I picked flipping Scotland!!!

Thats hysterical. How engaged we get about silly stuff. At least Derek27 wraps his rants in stuff I can identify with. That guy has truly lost it and I don't blame him. Although I obviously don't approve of the language used. ;) Naughty person. :)

I guess Argentina really need to win this.
It could get spicy. Red card perhaps

How should you interpretate the VAR-rule at Betfair now when they have semi-auto VAR? Bets taken after disallowed 1-1 goal before half-time were not voided. Lost 1000 pounds this time but could have been must worse.
I got caught out too. My interpretation is that bets aren't voided as the linesman put his flag up so no change of decision has been made. However I'm sure I've seen this before where bets HAVE been voided. And I've 100% had situations where BF haven't voided as the say they will. There timings seem out sometimes for when penalty checks begin for example, so it all seems a bit of a minefield.

I have experienced occasions well before the WC started where Betfair failed to void bets following a VAR in accordance with their rules. It could possibly be a case of their failing to execute their rules rather than a change in the rules.

OU markets hardly moved in the last ten minutes, traders mindful of added time.

Watching the ladder not moving was more exciting than watching that first half!

Complete lack of first half goals in this tournament.

Watching Bleguim I'm beginning to think the players want Martinez out.

2nd in the wrold packed with highly paid stars.
Belguim were terrible.
Meunier chases an attacker into the right corner and fouls him twice until the ref blows. Then they defend a short corner with no 1st man and one of the best keepers in the world is beaten at his near post.
There is something going on there and Roberto's interview didn't address any of the issues with the awfulness of that display.
Will take a miracle for them to beat Croatia if they play like that.
And, no, I didn't have any money on the result. It's just that Belgium were terrible.

My brother asked me if trading spoils my enjoyment of the match. I said football spoils my enjoyment of trading. :D
