IMO bet365 have had the better odds for world cup matches this tournament, at least for the teams I've fancied.
But Ladbrokes have been doing daily specials where set selections have had boosted odds , that have been better than any available by just combining, but they've not always matched the teams I wanted. Worth a look and best odds if the teams you want correspond to the "boosted acca".

More importantly, don't go opening multiple accounts with loads of bookies.
Loads do "free bet sign ups" that can be worth quite a few quid but are only ever available once to new members. You'd "waste" that free money by just opening loads of accounts, you may fancy cashing it some time in the future through "matched betting", or maybe just leave it to next year and take some new account free bets at Rugby World Cup time. 🙂

Top website that lets you see who has the best odds , and special offers:

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/world-cup/winner

Jamie - Freeloader! But we still like him
I think the bets will all be knackered by one game going into extra time.

True , counts as a draw at FT.
Hills do money back on 6+ acca if one result lets you down. Might be what you want.

Why not turn up on every beer thread and warn about the dangers of alcoholism ?

They appreciate your concern and they will be carefull

Handy to know. Although, I only bet £4 over 4 bets, so not the end of the world.

You should have got the bettered app. You can play fantasy football in a league with your mates, and fritter money away on your ridiculously inaccurate predictions at the same time 😀

Going back to last night, as i didn't watch the Russia game, seems like they have a quite a bit to be pissed about, given this was going on during the goal they conceded.

Edit:

**** YEEEEEEAAAAAAH!

maybe the Russian goalie thought it was a Spetsnaz sniper on holiday from Ukraine...
I'm glad they're out fair or foul...

Suggested the whole office went for lunch today at a bar restaurant with poor food, inept staff and limited beer menu, purely because they would have wall to wall widescreen world cup.

I had a lot of explaining to do as we sat and watched darts all lunchtime... 😳

At what point did brazil switch from being the most loved team in world football to being so completely unlikable?

Anyway. I do worry for Chile on set pieces. They are all about 5ft.

Because they won it 5 times then host the tournament again so it becomes a bit boring to support them again. Yes, if they are good then they deserve to win but no support from me I am afraid. I like to see new team winning. :mrgreen:

He never does. I'm not sure where this reputation of being one of the best refs in the world comes from.

So for Chile vs Brazil, BBC have got in Hansen and Shearer.

I assume they forget they have Henry, Seedorf etc on the payroll.

After WV10 is Webb scared to use cards?

"the best half we've seen all tournament" - Alan Hansen

That's a seriously bold claim.

I'd like to see chile get through,but I think i'd like to see the atmosphere of a brazil-argentina final more,though both teams would be so scared of losing the game probably wouldn't live up to it.

Handbaw IMO. Though need to see another replay. That still isnt conclusive, looks different in moving pictures.

Heed the words of the Molgrips and dont try and recoup it with more crazy betting to recoup your loss

Was a handball IMHO as he could never have controlled it without some use of his arm.

Howard FFS - do they say what FFS stands for or are they pronouncing it phonetically?

Too late. Molgrips, as ever, was right. I have bet all my savings on England to win the WC.

The 2014 WC. Took some effort for the bookie to take my bet. Guess he was scared I am going to clear them out.

England have won a penalty shoot out like the world cup it was only once and at home [ though you did eventually go out on penalties anyway]

Nah, Chile to win on penalties with neymar missing. Then a Chinook landing in the centre circle and a bunch of guys in black drag Howard FFS aboard and he's never seen again.
