No Hat Trick In World Cup Soccer @ +262?

[basesAREloaded]

Don't know much about soccer. Nobody else does either.

+262?

I say it's closer to a toss.

A rare lopsided feeling.

Need some.

More if it moves away from me.

Where can I bet that?

Higuain with the help of Messi scored a hat trick last world cup. With the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar in this tournament, not as easy as it looks. Every single world cup except 2006 has had a player scoring three goals in a match. Good luck!!

If it happens, it will be in the first round I would imagine.

 

[jay6s]

like judge said, probably in the first round...but also you have to think that most of the non traditional teams will play not to lose so they will play a defensive system making it even harder

I agree. Also, teams who collect 6 points after 2 games and know they are advancing may pull play players. The teams with nothing to play for are always the scary ones.

it will happen

only in 2006 did we not see a hat trick in past 16 world cups

Odds have not enough value to risk a serious amount... what rolltide said is accurate... and I have my money on at least 2 hat-tricks in this WC. Mark my words.

Wood layers make markets.

Wood layers do cash. Cashing 30 cents on the dollar will turn you into dogmeat over time though.

Wood layers will continue to make markets.

If you bet the hat trick to occur, and it happens, I'll just say congratulations and thanks for making that particular market.

And I'll see ya' soon...

Your right, you don't know much about soccer...maybe that Landon is not participating this wager is even better

 

[JDeuce]

Pretty good value in betting no IMO.

This is a stacked WC. There are no awful teams who squeezed out a spot from a crappy qualifying region.

There are no awful teams who squeezed out a spot from a crappy qualifying region.

1) there are always awful teams here from a crappy qualifying region
2) you don't need to be horrible to allow a HT. several of the more recent ones were done against So Korea, Cameroon, Uruguay, and several european teams (Denmark, Greece, Poland 2x, Belgium 2x) with a couple against the always-shitty non-US/MEX concacaf teams (Jamaica, Costa Rica) and the other vs Saudi Arabia. That takes you back to all of them since the '86 cup. Hell even Brazil allowed a HT in '82

one good thing about playing "no" is that it is really rare to see a HT after groups. 17 of last 22 HT's were in group stage, 5 in the 2nd round...last hat trick when things really heated up was the '66 final and that took 120 minutes of action which books wouldn't pay on today. So if you can get through the group stage without a HT you have a damn good shot at cashing a "no" bet but it's been since England '66 that you had a hat trick after group stage without having one in the group stage but back then it was a field of 16, not 32, so far fewer matches

Goldman Sachs has Brazil winning cup over Argentina, btw

Hosts Brazil, according to Goldman SachsGS -0.99%, which has crunched lots of numbers. Lots and lots of numbers (Dominic Wilson and Jan Hatzius from Goldman Sachs’s economics team joke that they wish staff showed the same level of dedication for their day jobs.)

There it is

That didn't take too long...

As stated prior, thanks for making these -350 markets, and I'll see ya' again soon.

Correctly imagined...good job.
