World Cup Best Bets Saturday 6/24

Germany to win (yes) in 90 mins -150 1.5 units
Argentina to win (yes) in 90 mins -250 2.5 units

I'm 10-2 now, I'm bettin chalk in these 2 matches. I can see Sweden challenging, but no freakin way Mexico takes Argentina.
If I wake up and the line is close to -250, I'm probably going to push all my world cup earnings on Argentina -- Mexico is really not very good - although they think they are... and they are not nearly as skilled at the 'dive' as Argentina (the world champs at) is.

I'm SERIOUSLY considering doing the same with Germany.
It's ridiculous to think the Home Nation loses in this spot - PERIOD. -150 is a total steal.
I'll probably go heavier if the line by game time is less than -210. Both teams can create serious amounts of major chances - but Sweden only bangs home 1/game at most. Germany gets a heluva lot more.

What did the Mexico/Argentina draw pay today?

Not enough for me to be a winner today:/
It was around +250 -+400, depending on the book.

Argentina should've won in regulation - but they didn't. My first losing day...whaddayagonnado.
