Score-betting:

You may now place bets on score predictions for each match. These bets do not affect general match bets and may be placed additionally or by themselves. Here are the payouts for the following scores:

    Payout 3:1 (ex: 200K bet, 800K return on win):

      Scores (1-0)(2-0)(2-1)

    Payout 4:1 (ex: 200K bet, 1M return on win):

      Scores (3-0)(3-1)(3-2)

    Payout 5:1 (ex: 200K bet, 1.2M return on win):

      Scores (4-0)(4-1)(4-2)(4-3)

You may also bet on a match reaching penalty kicks. These are paid out regardless of who wins the penalty kicks - as long as the game reaches penalty kicks, the payout is awarded. Penalty kick bets pay out 4:1 (ex: 200K bet, 1M return on win)

How to bet ON A SCORE:

To place a score bet, send me a message in the following format:

Match #: (#61 or 62)

Score you are betting on: (ex: Argentina 1 - 0 USA) If you are betting on penalty kicks, indicate it here instead of a score.

Amount you wish to bet:

If you would like your bet to be public or remain anonymous:

The bets must be wired to me (Ritzo) along with the message in order for it to count. DO NOT message me if you do not plan on sending me the bet. I'm taking bets, not opinions. Thank you for your cooperation.

I will send a confirmation message of your bet(s) once I have received it (Please allow time for a confirmation if I do not happen to be online at the time).

If you wish to bet on multiple matches, please send separate messages. Thank you to most of you for doing this correctly.

 __________

Disclaimer (READ THIS):

All win bets cover the entire match - which includes extra time, penalty kicks, and sudden death - whatever it takes to produce a winner.

Score bets are based on the final score - this includes goals made during injury time or extra time.

I will collect all bets based on the time they are wired to me. If they were sent after the deadline, they will not count and will be returned. As long as you've sent the bet and the message before the deadline, it will count.

Please allow time after the end of each match (up to 24 hours) for the winners to be paid off. Patience is a virtue as they say.

If any of this is confusing to you or you are in need of some desperate clarification, feel free to post your questions here or message me.

Good luck and happy betting!
