TAB doing some thing where everyone who joins gets $20 credit, so I'm doing that, hoping to make at least $100 and not use a cent of my own money.  Got $11 on Mexico winning tonight.  Hoping to get off to a good start.

Mate of mine in England found himself a good money maker today, $2.87 for under 9 goals in todays games with one place, $1.84 for more than 7 goals today with another place. Profit either way, and very large one if it hits the 7 or 8 goal mark.

I tried to do a multi on the TAB site and it came back with an error saying they were 'outcome related', i was trying to multi the top goal scorer for Spain in their Grp, with the top goal scorer for Argentina in their Grp with the English as Grp winners, with Brazil as group winners and Dutch as Grp winners.

I can't see any of that is outcome related. I spoke to a guy at the TAB who didn't seem to really know what he was talking about, and told i could put some on the top tryscorer. I let him babble on and then said they score goals in football not tries. Seemed to know little about football.

I do very little sports betting, so i certainly don't know the ins and outs of it...

We got many UK punters on the boards?

I got a a good bet combo that at current odds, makes money either way, but I cant use it

Needs William Hill & Ladbrokes accounts.

What's the story with the TAB? sign up online and pop into any TAB outlet to prove you're over 18 and it's all go?

ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH

To gamble online, yes. You can gamble before you've shown your ID... but you can't collect winnings.

To gamble in an outlet you don't need an account though, just ID and Cash.

Yes going quite well this tournament
not quite the golden run of '98 but in '02 I got a genuine bum-shellacking

lost - Nigeria to qualify for 16
lost -  USA to beat England
lost - NZ to qualify for 16
lost - Ivory Coast to beat Portugal
lost - Slovenia 1 England 1

win - Chile to qualify
win -Uruguay to qualify
win - Uruguay win group
win- Uruguay beat SA
win - Uruguay to make 8
win - Argentina to win group
win - Algeria 0 England 0  (good $)

waiting on Uruguay next 2 games (hopefully) and Forlan @ 40/1 but his no goals today pretty much burns that one

thats not a waste of time, you must've had some exciting moments along the way!
 
I put four bets on one night of play earlier in the group stages and lost them all. Didnt like that it changed my neutral perspective during the games and made me frustrated so i didnt place any more...
 
my neutral love for the game has been much enhanced by Euan McCabe's book World Cup Baby, oh how i loved this tournament. Watched the nz and netherlands games as a true fan, then watched every other game as an appreciative neutral and loved it just as much...!

Took my 20 up to 100 after picking a 1-1 draw with Slovakia.
 
Then put 30 on a HT/FT double with Draw/Spain in the final.  Shame it didn't come through as it was paying close to $5.
 
Think my balance is about 50ish.

Was there a pay out on each of the 4 players for top goal scorer? Or did only 1 player get a return? (I think Muller with most assists) @ the NZ TAB
Was it a full return or half return on the bet?
