Summary of the first round

Well, we’ve «seen» everyone play now. We have a pretty good idea of ​​what the teams we didn’t know are like, and how the ones we did know are doing. We also have some information from a recent competitive match (very important). From a «pro» perspective, we shouldn’t have placed any bets on the first round, like I did in Qatar 22, but hey, we’re here to play a bit too, right?

To date, we’ve placed 5 bets totaling €55 and lost €35 📉 (Yield = -63%). Our bankroll is worth €765 (Return = -4%). ​​We won one bet (South Africa’s defeat 🐑) and lost 4. The draws for Spain 🐺 and Switzerland were «bad luck» according to the data; Belgium’s draw wasn’t bad luck (expected goals: 1.32 – 1.07) but it was a bet made with the heart; and the «crazy bet» on Brazil not winning and getting a red card, well, it was odds of 11! (and it wasn’t far off).

On the other hand, we have €50 invested in our goalscorers. We’re doing quite well here: Leo Messi 😎 leads alone with 3 goals (at odds of 21! €5 => €100) and we also have Harry ✊🏻 and Kylian ✊🏻 well positioned in defense with 2 goals each.

We also have €60 placed on our champions: France, Spain, Argentina, and Portugal. I’m going to launch a poll on this soon because I’ve seen Portugal perform poorly and I’m considering cashing out our bet.

On round two, we’ll slightly increase the stake and betting frequency because we’re more confident in our predictions. The stake will reach its peak on the final matchday of the group stage, in the round of 32! 😝 and in the round of 16. From the quarterfinals onwards, it will decrease again because only strong teams will remain, making predictions more difficult.

Just a reminder that you all have a €5 bet to play however you like ✊🏻🎯

Cheers, comrades! 🍻

YES, WE BET!
