World Cup Future Play: South Korea

Guys, take a look at South Korea at +20000. They are always a very disciplined team and well conditioned. Also, they don't get intimidated by the big name teams.

Look at their group: Argentina, Nigeria, Greece. I fully expect South Korea to make it to the second round by ending up 2nd in that group.

In round two, they would play the winner of group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France. If South Korea makes it to the second round, I like their chances of upsetting any of these teams.

There's great value in South Korea, no one cares about Asian football and naturally their prices are undervalued.

They have no chance. Put your money somewhere else.

Not a chance in hell...

Even when South Korea had it rigged in 02, they couldn't win... If you can remember that

Maybe it's worth throwing like $10 down on them, but no more than that. Remember your betting them to win it all.

Just because South Korea beat Greece you feel you have a chance to South Korea win the World Cup?

Not even his coach believe they can match with Argentina he said they will be happy with only a good game .

Greece was a disgrace, Korea is just not that bad but they are still a bad team.

Argentina will show his form in the second match, they need to kill Korea to rest his better players for game 3 looking ahead the next round. A draw is just a joke.

I agree with you.  Find value and hedge after.  S. Kor has a shot.

I have a feeling however this is also a homer play for you.  You got an S. Kor roots?

try not to insult xhueg because you dont like my opinion.

well done for getting korea into the 2nd round but lets realistic, they have no chance of winning the world cup, i wouldnt take them at 1000-1, they just dont have the quality needed and they dont defend well, they were very lucky not to lose to a poor nigeria side.

you misspelt genius, quite ironic.

going to be difficult for you to hedge on uruguay as they are strong faves and if u did this in every round, the fave would be an even shorter price so hedging would cost u even more.

the correct play here would have been to forecast what round korea gets knocked out in

Huego I woulldn't hedge sh!t. I am Playing Korea next match to advance..That is my upset special next round

this guy isn't getting enough respect.
He predicted this exactly, and now has an amazing hedge opportunity if he wants.
Don't you guys know anything about gambling - he isn't holding this ticket because he thinks S. Korea is going to win the world cup.
Read the thread
Beautiful work XhuegoX

Right now Korea is +200 to advance. That's an awesome price in my opinion. Uruguay to me are not the real deal in my opinion. Korea have been tested and come through. I predict an upset.
Mack05 says:

Not sure what you mean Ghost. South Korea aint winning the world cup so when it comes to hedging maybe I am missing the point??
Mack05 says:

Ok dumbass I am..Now I am getting it...

I would wait Huego. Uruguay @-110 right now. I really don't see the value there. If the game is drawn and Uruguay win on penalites then borh bets lose. Uruguay to advance is -300...

I ride it out and hope Korea gets the win. If they do the Quarterfinal will be pickem

16 teams to go
and you have a ticket for one of them that would pay 20 grand
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT
Fantastic Job

Agreed

Everyone is too stupid too fucking realize what he is ACTUALLY  trying to do here...

Well done huego...you found a nice value bet... BOL
must be nice knowing you are guaranteed profit now...


If i may ask...what did you play them at? 100$ @ +20000?
Thats a nice amount of cash you can hedge with and still come out on top if you did...
