Got a free £5 bet with Paddy Power after putting a tenner on Brazil to win the tournament. Using it to back Brazil to win today, with both teams scoring, odds of 13/5

Thank-you for that. I might have to have a little look at taking up that offer, I already have e/w bets on Neymar and Dzeko for smaller amounts but may look at putting £20 on someone else in order to take up that bet. Possibly Messi. I take it a £10 e/w bet would qualify for this offer?
I'm new to betting.
Please can you tell me the best provider for world cup (e.g. best odds, free bets) e.g. ladbrokes, coral
Please can you tell me what is worth putting a bet on for tonight's game.
Thanks!

Yes you can place £10 EW. Looking at Argentinas group going with messi is the best option IMO
The high street bookies broadly speaking are pretty much of a muchness. Though I tend to find Paddy Power usually the most generous with their odds and money back specials they do sometimes. It depends what's in your area too.
For the world cup, they will all have separate coupons for each match. The odds for a Brazil win tonight are around 3/10 which isn't great, 30p back for every pound staked in other words. Croatia are around 12/1 to win and the draw is around 4/1.
So you could put a fiver on Brazil to win and get back £6.50. I personally wouldn't bother with such poor odds. You could go out on a limb and back Croatia to win but 12/1 is a long shot in outright match bets. 4/1 for the draw isn't so outlandish and even though Brazil are clear favs to win tonight, these opening games don't always pan out as forecast. Expectation of the home support may get to the Brazilians.
Predicting the actual scores is obviously harder to do but the odds are much better than outright win bets. Brazil to win 2-1 is 17/2 or to win 3/2 is 45/1 (Paddy Power). Then there are other numerous bets they have on the coupon. Winning at half time and full time and so on. First goalscorers, will both teams score? etc etc. Then there are accumulators where you are predicting a set of games, so Brazil, Mexico, Spain and England all to win their opening matches for example.
Just go with your instinct. Pop into your local bookies and have a look at the coupons and have a go. It's a bit of fun and good luck!
Just to add that the online odds that the bookies quote aren't always the same in their corresponding high street shops. They tend be to a bit lower in the shops.
Finally if you google Oddschecker. A comparison website for all the different bookies, both in the high street and the online only ones.

i have done the pp top goalscorer offer ew on lukaku(so hoping for 4+ goals) and i have for fun and interest as long as it lasts,a bet on no 0-0 draws in the group stage.
Even allowing for Benteke not been at the WC,surely Belgium are a decent outside bet at around 20/1 + worth a fiver bet ?

He should have been sent off after 22 minutes.
Well tonight's game won me £255. Both teams to score, both teams to score in first half and 3-1 full time score.
I missed out on both teams to score in second half and both halves...and 2-2.

After tonight's display Argentina must now be favourites.
Glad my money is on each way bets on Uruguay and Chile.

not quite sure how you work that out. Coatia would have been good for a draw against anyone last night
I had a bet last night on Fred score 1st and brazil to win 3-1, wish I'd stuck with just 3-1 as it was 14s!! Also had ht Croatia ft brazil which was 32/1.
Gonna get involved today and will post a few bets later.

Betfair offered 3/1 on Brazil last night to all new customers putting a £10 bet on the game.
I also got on Teofilo Gutierrez at 140/1 for the Golden Boot and 23/1 to finish in the Top 4 at 23/1 on their exchanges

I didn't think much of Brazil last night either but it's a bit early to say - especially seeing as Argentina haven't even played yet.
Has anyone actually put a bet on England to win?

Lol that's obvious. A fool and his money and all that
without looking remotely competent Brazil nearly won me a bit.
Betfair had "all other scores" which was any team to score 4 at 7.4

Mexico on minus 1 for me here.
Over 4.5 goals in the game and over 1.5 in 1st half too.
Chicarito to score 1st Mexico win 4-1
