Betting Round 7 of my World Cup Challenge couldn’t have gone much better, but did require some nimble footwork. Yesterday, I warned of the danger of backing Portugal to beat USA, so steered safely clear. I hope you did too. The Algeria +1 handicap came in comfortably, though I had a few uneasy moments at 3-1, with visions of my 5-3 South Korea “prediction” coming back to haunt me. Finally, I banked profit on the Belgium/Russia draw. Regular readers of my World Cup coverage will know I always recommend taking the profit early when teams are tied. The introduction of Kevin Mirrallas turned this game on its head. Until that point, the Russians and Belgians had traded blows pound for pound (as the rating system suggested they would), but the substitute attacker opened up the game for Belgium and the team’s pressure on Russia was relentless. This morning I am +6.39 points in my World Cup Challenge and there are opportunities to add to this in the coming days.
