RECOMMENDATIONS:
$490/250: PORTUGAL (-245) OVER UNITED STATES (BEST BET)
The US team doesn't belong in the World Cup. At least a dozen teams in Europe are better that didn't qualify (Romania, Holland, etc.). Portugal is a talented team and will steamroll the far outclassed US team.
$100/105: CROATIA (+105) OVER MEXICO: Mexico always seems to disappoint in these big World Cup games, so I'll take the under appreciated Croatians who have been very tough in the qualifiers playing against the Europeans (tougher competition).
$200/500: TURKIYE-BRAZIL DRAW LISTED AT +250: Brazil's internal problems are well-noted. What many don't know is that the Turks often play a conservative, low-scoring style that goes with a draw here. They will be quite content to get a tie against the pseudo-favorites, and try to advance by beating lesser teams. Turks also tend to get more defensive in road games -- as they have played quite a few draws against the likes of England, Spain, and others.
$400/200: SPAIN (-$200) OVER SLOVENIA (BEST BET)
Spain may win it all. Vastly superior team here, expected to win, should get the victory.
Here are the OVER plays for the first round ($200 each):
IRELAND CAMEROON OVER 2.5 (+100)
URUGUAY / DENMARK OVER 2.5 (+100)
ARGENTINA / NIGERIA OVER 2.5 (-115)
PARAGUAY / SOUTH AFRICA OVER 2.5 (+100)
CROATIA / MEXICO OVER 2.5 (+100)
SPAIN / SLOVENIA OVER 2.5 (-130)
CHINA / COSTA RICA OVER 2.5 (+100)
JAPAN / BELGIUM OVER 2.5 (-115)
ITALY / ECUADOR OVER 2.5 (-110)
