World Cup Results Betting Blog For Monday - 06-19-06
June 19 - Betting on Monday's World Cup soccer games looked tough because the matches were so easy to forecast, which meant the odds offered by the sportsbooks were low on value. There was little money to be made as all three heavy favorites won with ease on the day.
Switzerland were too well organized and technically solid for a Togo team that showed flashes of inspiration but no overall plan. The Swiss were heavy chalk and are now in a good spot to win this group and advance. They need a draw against South Korea, a team many gave no chance but who have surprised the experts.
Ukraine turned in the top performance of the day in demolishing the Saudis 4-0. It was amazing that Ukraine were allowed to start the game at -230 for the win, and the sports handicapping team at Mycapper.com gave away that handy winner as a free World Cup pick. They also have a free pick for tomorrow's game between England and Sweden, which you shouldn't miss out on.
The final game of the day was the most interesting as it seemed that Spain might be upset by Tunisia. However, when Spain finally snatched an equalizer with twenty minutes to go the floodgates opened and Tunisia came undone. They ultimately conceded 3 goals, collapsing a la Japan in their game versus Australia.
There were no surprises today but watch out for tomorrow's games where Ecuador could challenge Germany and Trinidad & Tobago are our underdog pick to record a win over Paraguay!
