Not saying you're wrong nor 538.com..but that's a hell of a difference? My experience on betfair is that if something looks too good to be true then there is something either wrong with the figures or there is some other factor
I understand your logic; but surely somethings wrong here??

Surely the question is, why on earth do the odds suggest we will beat Costa Rica. :lol:

On this case I hate to be right about my prediction.. :(

How the hell can both Italy and Uruguay play so well against us and shocking against Costa Rica. I think I'm losing the plot on footy.

Best trade of the day would have been to lay the draw Italy v Uruguay - Out to 3.60 from 3.00

I think it's the quality of the opposition they were up against - we make them look good cos we're so tactically sh1te and play without desire (when compared to Costa Rica who played smart and with belief).

I stood lots of bets on England from friends and family last night and gave them 6/4 - I told them we wouldn't win but they wouldn't have it!

That's what happens when you lose your objectivity you see. I notice that the non-English members of the forum cleaned up on lays on England again.
