Well after a long time away, our Soccer Guru returned to make 2014 World Cup picks, and boy, he did not disappoint. He made three picks, and two of them were winners. Normally, that wouldn’t sound too great, but he explained that his philosophy was based on picking on value, so even getting one out of two picks right would have provided profit.
As it was, our expert picked winners and overall, he’s up +203 units…so, now, he’s back for another set of picks: The Round of 16.
Top Picks: World Cup 2014 - Round of 16
WINNER (+102) 1. Colombia vs Uruguay: Colombia to win at 2.020
Colombia has been about as strong of a team as this World Cup has featured. Add in the effect of Luis Suarez’s suspension on the squad, and this match is heavily in Colombia’s favor. However, the early betting lines still offer better than even money on picking the better team to win. The odds state that Colombia has a 48.6 percent chance of winning, but the AccuScore computer calculates that number to be 60.1 percent. That means Colombia has value. This is a no brainer! There is definitely value on this pick.
Our Soccer Guru has one more pick that is for members only, so if you’re a member, log in at the top right to get this can’t miss pick. Our expert only started making picks in the final round of the group stages, and he returned a profit of 203 units on 400 units bet. That’s over 50% return on investment, and he’s just getting started. With these picks, he expects to get over the 100% return on investment mark, so log in to get his second value pick of the World Cup Round of 16.
Loser (-100) 2. Costa Rica vs Greece: Costa Rica at 2.530
Costa Rica is the better team. Greece is probably the weakest side to make it out of the group stages, and Costa Rica looked like one of the best sides to make it out of the group stages. However, the oddsmakers do not seem to believe what Costa Rica is doing. To be honest, neither does the Accuscore computer. However, I’m not a computer, and I know when I see value. Bet Costa Rica to win at 2.53 because the value is there. Any time the better team is giving better than even money, there is value there. Guru says pick Costa Rica to win in 90 minutes.
