< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 642 OF 749 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-13-18    Dr Winston OBoogie: Mexico?? I can understand Brazil, Germany and Argentina but who's betting on Mexico!? That reminds me I need to get my bets on today. I'm just going to spread £50 out and put little wagers on group winners, match results, top scorer (btw you could do worse than having a few $$ on Mueller of Germany, I think he's something like 40/1!) and of course the winners. Jun-13-18    chessmoron: Group A: Uruguay, Russia Group B: Spain, Portugal Group C: France, Denmark Group D: Argentina, Croatia Group E: Brazil, Switzerland Group F: Germany, Mexico Group G: Belgium, Tunisia Group H: Colombia, Japan Jun-13-18    Count Wedgemore: <Dr Winston O'Boogie: Mexico?? I can understand Brazil, Germany and Argentina but who's betting on Mexico!?> It's not strange at all. The interesting bookie report that <WannaBe> posted was about bettors in Las Vegas. I suppose Nevada, like most of the Southwestern US has a large Mexican/Hispanic population. If the USA was in it, they'd be a bit "overplayed" as well. After all, many (non-professional) gamblers put wagers on their favorite players and teams. Betting with your heart and not your brain, one could say.. Jun-13-18    soldal: Group A: Uruguay, Egypt Group B: Portugal, Spain Group C: France, Peru Group D: Argentina, Iceland Group E: Brazil, Switzerland Group F: Germany, Mexico Group G: Belgium, Tunisia Group H: Poland, Colombia Jun-13-18    WannaBe: If I did the math right, game will start Thursday morning 6AM Pacific Time, can someone post "Game Have Started" message? Much appreciated it, and thanks in advance! Jun-13-18    Count Wedgemore: No problem, <WannaBe>. I'll be watching the game on live television here in Norway, so I'm happy to do it. Jun-13-18    Count Wedgemore: By the way, there's a time difference of ten hours between Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) and Moscow Standard Time (MSK). The game starts at 6pm MSK, so it will be 8am in the morning on the US West Coast, not 6am. Jun-13-18    WannaBe: <Count Wedgemore> You are correct! 8AM it is. Jun-13-18    WannaBe: Judge will allow HBO documentary maker see Theranos' record: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti... Jim Chanos said Silicon Valley have a habit of lying to investors, and Theranos is the perfect example: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/13/jim... Jun-14-18    NakoSonorense: Ready for the World Cup, <WannaBe>!? Who are you rooting for? Jun-14-18    WannaBe: <Nako> I am rooting for USA.

Wonder which country is called Meadmania. =)) Jun-15-18    technical draw: That last goal by Ronaldo was just fantastic. One game and already he has 3 goals. He's like the Bobby Fischer of futbol. Jun-15-18    WannaBe: E. Holmes indicted!!! http://money.cnn.com/2018/06/15/tec... And she is still trying to raise money for the next start-up?!!?
