Germany to beat Costa Rica
England to beat Paraguay
Holland to beat Serbia & Mont
Portugal to beat Angola
Italy to beat Ghana
Czech Republic to beat U.S.A.
Brazil to beat Croatia
England to beat Trinidad & Tobago
Argentina to beat Serbia & Mont
Italy to beat U.S.A.
Brazil to beat Australia
Spain to beat Tunisia
Brazil to beat Japan
only put £1 on but returns £144 if all those results come in. Not the biggest winnings but I would say those are pretty safe bets, though you never know.
What do you think my chances are?

possibly Edd but like I said you need to put a few iffy ones in there to make the potential winnings higher.
Only put £1 on so if I dont win I wont lose any sleep.

how easy is it to do the online betting?
and also how do you pick up your winnings? is it all through Credit/debit card?

those are shocking odds for 13 matches
you haven't taken into account things like some of those teams (e.g. probably brazil) will have qualified before there last match against japan and when you add in the fact they're managed by zico i can see a bit of leniency creeping in.
I was getting similar odds to that on 4 matches in last years champions league!

Good for you.
The reason those odds are bad is because most of those results (in the bookies eyes) are likely to come in.
Matt - its quite easy, you register, pay into your account from debit card/credit card, click on who you want to win then click 'place bet'
if you win, you withdraw cash and it pays it into your bank account or credit card.

They are going to be your problems, those two matches could go to either team or be a draw, I wouldn't like to call either of them one way or the other.

no need to jump on your defensive horse, good on you if it comes up, those are very poor odds however for guessing the winner in 13 matches, did you try other bookies beforehand?

No I didn't check other bookies. Im not a huge gambler so it means no odds to me whether the odds are good or not as its only a bit of fun for me.
I look at it like this, £140 if it comes in, nice enough, £1 lost if it doesnt, hey ho.
