Cheltenham Festival Roll-Ups

Haaland Anytime is a big price tonight. Can see him tearing the French defence to shreds.

Haaland rested plus 10 others from Norway. Boring but understandable.

Mbappe Anytime at 4/6 surely biggest certainty now playing Norway U12's
 
In normal circumstances, you never see the draw price at less than 2/1. It was well below that for the Australia match so everyone knew.

Going forward, I like 13/10 against Colombia reaching the quarter finals.

Some tight match ups. Japan will give Brazil trouble. So to will Morroco v Holland, Ecuador v Mexico.
 
In my tipping competition I've also done Morocco at 11/5 to reach the quarters and France at evens to reach the semis. I prefer these to individual match betting because it takes the draw out of the reckoning. Maybe look at some of the 'to score or assist' prices once line-ups are announced but only with 'super sub'.
 
Very much in the MEXICO camp to beat England on Monday morning.
Mexico have a very good record at the Azteca Stadium, we will really struggle with the altitude and let's be honest, we've not set the world alight.

Think the 21/10 price for Mexico is more than fair, although I might look at the To Progress price too, obvs shorter but gets around extra time etc.

Will have win single but also look at rolling some bets onto some Cheltenham horses.

Good luck if anybody is thinking the same.
 
Agree that it looks almost impossible for England to progress but I can't bring myself to bet against them. Never have.
 
England might actually be good value now at 11/8 to beat Mexico.

I initially went to check the odds on the match because i thought mexico would be a good bet because im not impressed by england, and because of the home support/heat/altitude factors in mexicos favour.

But then I saw the odds were closer than I thought they'd be. And at the end of the day, despite England being pretty average so far and my opinion that tuchel has picked a strange squad, they still just have better players than mexico. And if you take the opinion that they may have just underestimated Congo and been surprised by them actually playing on the front foot, then they could put in a better showing next time and just be better than mexico.

Also as an irish person who isn't invested in the team at all, they really weren't that bad against Congo at all, despite how the press will paint it. Congo arent mugs, and drew with portugal. And it wasnt a performance like Germany against Paraguay, who just looked like no threat at all. England should have really had more goals but for some poor finishing, and that non penalty could easily be given on another day despite my opinion that it wasnt a penalty. Congo only really had one other great chance with wissa hitting the post.

Agreed. Thought about backing Mexico last night before the market opened, thinking they'd be a decent price. Slept on it and it seems to have turned into a wise guy bet and the price has completely gone from where I anticipated. Wouldn't be surprised if they drifted a bit nearer the time to be honest.
