The BashCast

This weeks bets; England to reach the semi final 4/2.6, England + Tunisia double at 5.4 and 4.7; A penalty awarded double tonight (and two singles) 13/2 (and 7/6) and Uruguay to reach the semis 5/1. After the break we discuss Jetbull changing Terms and Conditions mid offer and the argument that just because the exchange says a price, don't mean that we cannot beat that price. #thisisBig

We look through our first round bets with the BashCast bankroll, and simply because they all sucked and we ran as bad as we could we go straight into another set. Topping up on England to reach the final at 8/6.2, Shaqiri to score any time vs Serbia 5/4.8, England Colombia and Japan all to win on Sunday 11/10.7 and Belgium Mexico Germany all to win on Saturday 3.8/3.7 (slim, we know!).
