Are you sure about Uruguay's odds here? Seems pretty high.

Sorry that should 8/5. Edited above.

Those that took Uruguay please adjust accordingly.

Cancel my Uruguay pick. I was trying to hedge my prior bet on Russia to win the group, but probably not worth it at the correct odds.

It occurs to me that with 3 possible outcomes in every game, bookies should be able to make killings quite regularly in soccer.

Is that necessarily true given that often times all 3 of the picks are >+$100?

After my string of misses (ties make soccer betting a lot harder), I decided to go all-in on Brazil and Colombia. Colombia had a tough one today but I really liked their chances to beat Senegal in a must-win situation. Felt they were undervalued by the odds after a fluky loss to Japan where they had to play a man down basically the whole way.
