Drawing with one of the pre-tournament favourites and they're 3,500/1. Might be worth a couple of quid.

I've traded much of my Slovakia bet and now "only win £80,000 if the win the WC but win £500 on everyone else. I actually think they could surprise the Dutch today if they play attacking football like they did against Italy, that Dutch defence is their achilles heel and 9/1 (Betfair) for the Slovak victory is a very attractive price.

For the record, I don't think the Slovak's can win the world cup because they have to beat Holland and then more than likely Brazil, then Spain and then Argentina in the final. If they beat Nertherlands today I'll "sell" the rest of my equity in the bet.

Good decision to trade out of the Slovakia bet, I traded the rest of the bet after they went 1-0 down and made another £100 so ended up with a £600 profit. I've re-invested a large chunk of this on Paraguay @ 60/1 with a similar intention - hopefully they'll win today (I think they should) and then I'll sell my liability at about 38/1 and have a "free" bet on Paraguay for about £10,000 to win the WC.

I've been doing well with little bets at long odds. Up about 200 quid since the tourney started, excluding 190 or so from a free bet. That's with a max outlay of 20 quid a day.

Have one monster accumulator which I expected to lose days ago, but it's still on. It was a bit of a silly punt with quite a few selections at long odds. 6 of 8 have come through though, so I'm hoping for the long shot of a Japan win and Spain vs Portugal to go to extra time.

If those two come in, happy days.

holland and germany double in the semis is almost 4/1 on Paddy Power

Well, how was it for everyone, anyone make a profit?

I ended up in profit but got lucky. On a match-by-match basis I finished down but my early bet on Slovakia to win @ 650/1 was traded at a big profit for a bet on Paraguay (before they squeezed past Japan) and then that was traded and the overall profit went onto Spain. I traded a bit of my potential profit before the final so that had the Dutch won I'd have finished level for the WC.

I put £30 on Spain well in advance before the groups were drawn and won £105 profit.. Not too shabby..
