    How is the World Cup betting wise for everybody? Making good profit or struggling a bit, or breaking even?

    My World Cup betting has went reasonably well so far. For the first time ever, I've kept a log of every bet I'm putting on just to see how I get on and how I bet.

    I've won one bet, a £5 free bet that I put on Kane to score first against Tunisia, winning me £13.

    I've also let my bird use my account to bet on England to beat Tunisia 2-1 so had to give her £40 :giggle1:

    I always do the main goal threat on one team to score first and then the other team to win 2-1. Literally every game in the tournament, have won that a few times over the years so knew it would come in eventually during this World Cup.

    Wanted to do Shaqiri / 2-1 Serbia and Mitrovic / 2-1 Switzerland but was in the bell of nowhere Friday night so had no signal. Obviously the second one came in.

    Not massive losses but definitely in three figures by now, and have came so close to winning over a ton quite a few times now.

    Aye, it's a fine line between winning and losing.

    I've had 56 bets so far.

    22 winners & 30 losers. 12 of those were free bets and I only won 1 of those.

    And, I have 4 bets still pending.

    But, I'm £420 in profit so far, and I'm okay with that because I haven't been betting massive stakes. My biggest stakes are on my overall tournament bets.

    Good to hear you're doing well.

    Aye, post your results at the end. Always interested to see how other punters gamble and how they get on.

    There is no rhyme or reason to my gambling, it's all a bit erratic at times but it generally works haha.

    Had awful luck so far. Had Spain to beat Portugal 3 v 2 at 33's. Ronaldo * it last minute. Had a Saudi and BTTS last night doubled in with Portugal and BTTS no at 20's. The goofy * * me again.

    My betting luck has been wretched. Won 50 to break even last week right enough. Then lost a tenner on England v Columbia in play bets and probably another 20/30 or so on other games. Hardly my life savings but I would like to win more.

    2nd bet won so 3rd bet is £66 on Brazil to qualify 1/2. Fancied Brazil win btts but went for the safer option.
    Done a few rabs France and Brazil over 1 card, 1 goal and 5 corners 25/1 and France Uruguay over 1 mg, and both teams over 2 cards and 3 corners 16/1
