They actually did better than I thought in qualifying but I remember they had to go to the last game. However the rest of my post is true.

Na, Spain got this.

Come on lads.

Do it for paella, for pimenton, and for performance enhancing drugs.

And don't do it for Catalan independence! :D

Spain and Portugal both rubbish, but Portugal have Ronaldo. The dark invader will be the difference.

Vegas is paying out $30 on $10 bet ($40 if you count getting your $10 back) 300/100

There’s a sports bar here where the owner will take bets over the phone but if you lose and don’t pay up in 7 days he’s got some crazy idea about interest.

****. I swear I feel like going in for a $100. Turning that into $400

I might call and see if he’s giving that payout

Well Spain just sacked their manager so that could go either way. Hard to say really. I reckon Spain will win if it's not a draw. What does your guy give for a draw, apart from busted kneecaps?

BTW how are you supposed to beat the spread in a low-scoring game like soccer?

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 09:56 AM

What?

The Batlord 06-15-2018 10:14 AM

What is Point Spread? Definition from SportingCharts.com

You can bet on teams to win with a handicap though, +1, +2, +3 etc.

If you bet on Spain +2 they need to win by at least two goals for you to win your bet.

So sort of similar.

That would be Spain minus 2 in Vegas.

You can bet on a draw but otherwise it’s a push unless you’re betting a spread.

Soccer and baseball bets are usually handled by payout differences and not spreads.

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 11:20 AM

Almost 3/3.

Morocco <<<<

Awful game. It's matches like that people have a point with when they say football is boring.

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 11:56 AM

Portugal vs Spain starting now, this should be good.

Do both countries have any kind of rivalry, soccer or otherwise? They seem like they should mildly hate each other.

Yeah, football rivalry, both Iberian, long history between them as countries.

Never a pen imo.

I just knew that one would be crap. Got to feel sorry for Egypt, and for Salah. Hope he shines against Russia, though you'd wonder...

Batty checks his pockets: what do ya need a pen for? :D

Monkey, what do you think of the sacking? Odd thing to do, just before the tournament got going...

The Batlord 06-15-2018 12:08 PM

Yeah I have no idea what that means.

Pen=penalty kick

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 12:11 PM

Maybe there is more to the story. Managers announce they are joining club teams after tournaments all the time. Van Gaal did it at the last World Cup.

I'd have asked the players tbh.

I said never a pen because Portugal just got a penalty and scored.

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 12:23 PM

Costa what a goal.

Goofle 06-15-2018 12:31 PM

Man man costaaaaaa what a goalllllllll

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 12:44 PM

De Gea what a cuck tbh.

Bring back Casillas.

Goofle 06-15-2018 12:45 PM

The Dark Invader!

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 06-15-2018 01:00 PM

Pm for my paypal monks

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 01:03 PM

Lots of time left?

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard 06-15-2018 01:05 PM

for portugal to extend the lead yeah

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 01:11 PM

2-2 shut up cuck.

Costa again :cool:

Trollheart 06-15-2018 01:15 PM

Turning out to be the game of the tournament so far. Can't take yer eyes off it! Lol at De Gea! :laughing: Still reckon Spain will do it.

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 01:15 PM

That was ridiculous :D:D:D

3-2 Spain.

Time for The Dark Invader to step up.

What a game btw, unreal.

Trollheart 06-15-2018 01:16 PM

Oohhhh **** yessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goofle 06-15-2018 01:20 PM

Didn't realise how rubbish the Portugal team is apart from Ronaldo and Guedes.

Cuthbert 06-15-2018 01:21 PM

Spain are dominating this now. Ronaldo been quiet second half.

Feel a bit sorry for Ronaldo. He does his bit for the national team but is let down by what's around him.
