ROBUSTO or BUSTO: World Cup Betting Blog
I have set aside $2000 to be a bankroll for my sports gambling.
I know very little about sports gambling, and not so much about soccer either. I know the basics enough to know how to place bets etc, but I still will most likely lose 2 g's and you guys can laugh at me while I do it. Obviously the goal is to win money though, hopefully.
OK, so I've already taken $350 and placed bets on 7 teams to win their groups in the first round. Here are those bets:
Germany to win Group A - $50 to win $19.49
England to win Group B - $50 to win $34.24
Argentina to win Group C - $51 to win $62.22
Portugal to win Group D - $50 to win $42.37
Italy to win Group E - $50.85 to win $46.44
France to win Group G - $50 to win $20
Spain to win Group H - $51 to win $29.15
I also made a bet on tommorrow's opener and my time spent living in Costa Rica and watching Saprissa play obviously swayed my bet here to -EV land:
Costa Rica 9-June-2006 9:00 AM PST
Spread 1.5 and 2 for Game -112
Risking 56.00 to Win 50.00 USD
I'm also not exacly sure what that bet means, but I'll find out tommorrow postgame!
Hopefully you all enjoy following along as I aim for ROBUSTO.
Vegas coming this weekend with large bets being placed. Updates soon.
Current Bankroll: $1591.15
