Collingwood cost me 50.

Spain cost me 50 (so much for not betting on Euro. Once I saw Italys midfield I thought I was a certainty).

But Essendon won me 400 dollars. Swiish

Why are teams from the group stage able to meet again in the semis? Surely they should go to opposite sides of the draw for the knockout games.

Haha I cut loose on Essendon yesterday. 225 on it, cleared my account on them. Put 50 on Collingwood at half time paying 2.20. Fricken injuries. Still im gutted I missed out on the 0-0 draw. Didnt see it coming really.

I had 50 on them at about $4 just for the win.

I don't like the Bulldogs or Collingwood.

I only support 14 teams in the AFL now. :thumbsu:

I might absolutely unload on Germany to beat Turkey. win, HT/FT, first team to score, last team to score. etc. etc.

Yeah whats the story? I thought teams would have gone to the other side of the draw as well. Dubious stuff.

You disappoint me sir.

At the risk of this becoming an all-encompassing betting thread, put your money on Russia turning the tables against Spain.

got good value for your dollar did you?

MadMac · Jun 23, 2008

3 out of 4 favourites in the QF's went through to the semis. That would've made nice multi of around 50:1.

Croatia out. Well, they were never really going to win the shoot-out after that equaliser. They shouldn't have been in that position in the first place and should've won the game 2:0 in regular time. But, you have to admire the fighting spirit that Turkey shows :thumbsu:

. At least they play attacking football, unlike Greece last time or Italy for the last 20 years. Bit of a luck involved, but hey, every team needs it to a certain extent. Good luck to them. Croatia will be better for the experience and come back stronger at the WC.
However, I think the final will be Germany - Spain. Spain played an average game last night but any other team would've too the way Italians played. Alan Shearer labeled it boring and negative [and Martin O'Neil and Gary Lineker agreed] and that's exactly how it was. But with rejuvenated Russians playing open-style attacking football it will suit Spain and I hope we're in for a blockbuster. Spains class to get them over the line though.

They were only small bets, trying to save money for a european adventure. My back pocket is still quite alot deeper though.

yep.

bye bye italy. toni better should have kicked the goal they all were waiting for

spain were fighting and did a good job! this german ref was really annoying (= the italians 12th man)

no matter who it is in the end - spain or russia, we'll win anyway

Shane Clayton · Jun 23, 2008

I would argue none of the favourites of the quarter finals went through to the semis.

Waite_30 · Jun 23, 2008

Turkey vs Russia final, anyone?

Sounds good to me :thumbsu:

I can see Russia doing it if they play as well as they did against the Dutch and Spain's strikers have a bad day. Turkey are decimated though and I can only see them going through if they defend like demons and sneak a goal or take it all the way to penalties.

RoosterLad · Jun 23, 2008

I don't think Turkey have a hope in hell thanks to their injuries and suspensions, they have done well to get this far but their run will stop.

Yeh, unfortunately that's true.

davey_magik · Jun 23, 2008

Not writing the Turks off one bit and I doubt the boys will either after watching their last two games.

Deutschland 3-1 with a late German goal a bit unfair to a Turk team who fights the whole way through.

you're the man Davey.

Germany will have Turkey beaten by half time.

the half time/full time double is the most obvious bet of the year.

MagpieScouser · Jun 24, 2008

well of course they should seeing that turkey has been decimated by injuries and suspensions

no matter what happens,turkey along with russia have been the stories of the tournament

Barry Zuckercorn · Jun 24, 2008

Go Germany, hope they go all the way!

Will the Quarter finals be on SBS?
