Relying on Oz to haul me up and reduce my deficit.  But have also just gone a bit silly and put money on 2 goals  or more in the 1st half.

Do you even know what +1.5 even means Leggy?

Three for me, and two for them.

Thanks a lot Oz.

I made a modest $4.50 - should have realised that Oz would switch off for the last 70 mins.

to be honest Aussie have played like that the whole tourniment. Played well for 15 or so minutes and the rest of the game showing bad ball control and the usual A League tactic of being in the opposition 6 yard box and then working the ball back to their own goal keeper. Burns not playi g could be a blessing for us. Still in good condition but not suffering fatigue.

A tenner on South Korea? 

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

I was joking. I don't bet but I guess it has something to do with more than two goals in a game.

It's handicap betting. So if you go Team B +1.5 it means that if they were to draw or lose by a goal you would make your money back plus whatever the return was. Same applies the other way round if you go Team A -1.5 they have to win by two goals for you to win the bet.

Backing WSW tonight, I reckon the break and changes in personal will help right the ship.

Not football but Djokovic to win in 4 sets tonight is a good bet. So is Kane Williamson top scorer at the CWC.

A casual $1 on Aston Villa.

Southampton should see off Swansea.

Nix for the win (but hedge with a draw), more than two goals (if I was brave I'd go for 2-1).

I only play PS on my mobile but do they still have private SnG games that can be set up?

Didn't know Full Tilt was operating again as 'real money' site.

Haven't been on PS in a little while but as far as I know yes you can. Full Tilt has always been a real money site since I joined a while back tbf.

I thought they got busted as organised crime was using them to launder money and only existed as a 'Free Play Tutorial site' for quite a while.

Edit: Seems that was in 2011 and was on and off for a few months. Dodgy but not as dodgy as I had thought. I was under the impression they got shut down for quite some time.

I ventured out into EPL territory.

I got Spurs, Chavs, Southampton, Toon-Stoke draw, WHam-ManU draw and ACFC.  Missed out on TW-CU draw and Nix.

I feel a bit dirty but will have to put some dosh on Woolwich over Leicester as they will be rather rested up having not played any football over the weekend.

Other than that I'm not confident about any other EPL or A-League game but will of course back the Nix.

A bit gun shy at the moment but have gone for:

  • Spurs over Fiorentina tomorrow
  • Nix over Jests
  • Bling over CCM
  • Spurs over Winston's lot

Nothing yet for ASBP but would have to pick TW and ACFC this round.
