Round of 16 thoughts

[rush66]

I wanted to see the first game before I made a prediction on the entire round of 16, but here are my thoughts. It looks like the round of 16 will be more of the same. In my opinion 90% of the favorites are going to win these games. Games like Argentina today and Brazil in a few days, should be locks. Today I took a 2 team parlay with Germany and Argentina *to advance (you can believe me or not). I think that betting the team to advance is the best bet because as has been the trend so far, even with a bad game the better teams have prevailed in the end. This gives you a chance for your team to win it in extra time without taking a hit.

Additional things that have been working for me. I have bet the second half on a few games where a team lost a man in the first half. For example, Yesterday France 0-0 at half with Togo. Togo lost a man, so I took the 2nd Half (-1). Took at hit today on Germany's second half using the same principle, however if you are watching the games and able to make the bet, it might be helpful. Also, 2nd half bets on teams that have scored the first goal. The record for teams that scored first is like 32-6-6 or something insane. If you can grab a ML or a (pk) for that team 2nd half, most of the time you will win.

Again I see most of the favorites moving on, with a few games I am staying away from such as France v. Spain, Portugal v. Netherlands. If you feel risky, but a 4 or 5 team parlay on the teams you feel will move on to the next round and get some value. I put a little on a tough 5 team parlay that I hope works out Germany, Argentina, England, Italy, Brazil.
Hope this helps someone out.
