Re Finals Germ vs Braz, can a few of the Off The Wall boys tell me how u see the line moving? Thx.
World Cup: Final and 3rd place gms
- Thread starter ChuckyTheGoat
- Start date
Gonna take the plunge right now. Not sure which way this # will move. Germany is my play. Two teams w/ storied soccer tradition. Contrasting styles, but both will be confident. Difference to me is Germany's better defense. Brazilian defenders tend to float, and the goalie is young (only 21 yrs old).
Taking these now:
12/24 (pin) Germ to win Cup(+200)
1.5/5.25 (pin) Germ(-0.5) +350 (90 min)
Should be more to come. GL.

CTG - sorry mate; one of my handicapping weaknesses is how I don't track line changes closely at all... 
Beware though - Marcos isn't 21. Closer to 30 from memory. Good story about this guy; was only a reserve team keeper at club level about 4 years ago, made a breakthru and then suffered 2 finger injuries that threatened his career.
Made his name in knockout tournaments like the Sth American club champs, specialises in coming up big in sudden death games.
I know he's no Ollie Kahn but from what I've seen of him - quite a lot at the tournament - is that he's pretty good for a Brazilian keeper compared to what they've had in the past. Only error I saw him make was going down too early v Owen; otherwise he's been real solid.

Thx, Anders. Dellacamara said he was 21, mabye I heard it wrong.
Marcos was especially good vs Belgium. I know it's knitpicking; he's in fact played real well. Still very confident about my Germany pick, tho. GL.

SoKor-Turk play:
2.75/2 (int) und 12.5 corners(-125)
Germ-Braz play:
2.5/1.5 (int) und 13.5 corners(-167)

Playing:
1/1.15 (CAR) Turk 1st corner(+115)
That's it. 2 plays on this 3rd place gm. Just don't like this gm as a serious betting opportunity.

+1.2 units for the gm. +22.56 Cumulative.
Will be watching the Germany-Brazil line movement. Will likely add something later.

Adding:
3/3 (oly) Germ(+0.5) +100 (90min)
...Again, sounds like I'm on an island, but Germ win/draw 90min option at even money works for me. GL.

We'll soon find out, hash. Germany is the way I see it, though.
GL. Collina is on the gm, so the gm should not come down to a shaky penalty. Enjoy the gm.

Line keeps rising, and I'll bite. Adding:
3/6.3 (pin) Germ to win Cup(+210)
4/4.2 (pin) Germ(+0.5) +105 (90min)
That now sums to:
15 units Germ to win Cup
10 units Germ(+0.5) (90min)
1.5 units Germ(-0.5) (90min)
Yes, this is a big play for me. We'll see if I'm dead wrong in about 8 hours. GL and enjoy the gm.

good luck c i followed not as big but hey you do ok so what the hell. just as good as playing black jack all night since i slept from 3 till 8 so will be awake all night ,like it that way anyway. see you in the near future.
Thx, fletcher. Hope it gets home. I have a pretty solid reason for being on the Germans. So win or lose, I can live with the result. I hope it cashes.
Disappointing finish. Got smoked on final. -9.44 units for the tourney.
Congrats to hash and anyone else who had Brazil.
