World Cup Betting

[NUFAN]

Has anyone found any good value/interesting bets?

I like Joe Root to score more runs than Dhawan which pays $1.77. I would be amazed if Root doesnt win.

I also put a big $2 on the top runscorer from each team multi: Bairstow, de Kock, Hope, Imam Guptill KusalMendis Smith Rahmat Shakib Virat which will pay a cool $ 1.642 million when it comes off.

Srilanka VS Afganistan game is $1.90 for srilanka (same for afghan).
I think thats great odds for lanka, Despite struggling recently I'd back them to see off the Afghans.

On TAB it's paying $1.80 for the highest individual score of the tournament to be over 175.5. And it's paying $2.50 for a double ton to be scored


Both of those occurrences seem quite likely to me given the extreme length of the group stage plus the flat decks

 

[NUFAN]

Yep $1.80 for 175.5 seems very good. Good luck with your 6 6s in an over at $66 too!

2.9 on South Africa for today's match seemed pretty good to me yesterday.

I agree that 175.5+ 1.80 odd looks very enticing.

Thanks, that's a hail mary bet haha. Don't expect it to come off really.

$50 on someone to get over 175.5 is a different story. When was the last time that didn't happen in a WC?

 

[NUFAN]

No one scored above 175.5 in 2011. Sehwag scored the tournaments first century and he finished on 175. No one improved on that.

I've got no idea about betting on sports - just curious as to why it's over 175.5? Why not just over 175?

 

[Howe_zat]

It makes it easier to write an over/under line that has the same number, for the sake of easier to read cards and paired bets.

‘Over or under 175.5’ is just clearer and more efficient than ‘over 175, or 175 and under’.

I won on Bangladesh last nite. $4.90 was very juicy in a two man race.

Interesting to see India's chances go down after not playing a game yet.

Frankly I think Australia has even less hope after the Afghanistan game than before it. Yeah he took 3 wickets, but the ease in which Zampa was targeted by Najibullah through the middle overs is yet another major cause for concern. Need him to operate more tightly than that

Likewise - the Bangladeshis were huge value at that price.

3% chance for Pakistan

See the market is now $3.30 vs NZ who are as good, if not better than RSA.
