I never get how this is not understood. Obviously, sorry if I did not explain clearly. The betting public is showing support to Canada on bet365, nothing wrong with that, and forced bet365 to adjust odds. Opening the window the most you could bet on the game at the time with those odds was $636. I guess you could bet more and bet365 would refer your bet over that amount to a trader. On sites that take BIG action pinnacle.com (5 figures +), and monarchsports.co(6 figures+) they did not even open the odds for this game until yesterday. Both those sites opened below the original 7.5-1. Did they reference off bet365 bettors action or did they set their own line? maybe, maybe not, who knows. Regardless, all I was trying to point out is that we are no longer 7.5-1 underdogs for the outright win. Bet365 adjusted to public wagering and the Big action sites set and opened well below 7.5-1. Pinnacle sitting 6.6-1 & monarch 5.5-1. The intriguing bet on pinnacle is CANADA +1 at 1.86-1. Canada wins you win, Canada ties you win, Canada loses by 1 you get your $$ back. That bet I like and at 1.86-1. REGARDLESS.... I don't care if we are 10-1 let's get a result boys!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe MacCarthy Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'm wondering what was drawn from that last minute loss to the Americans, a good lesson I hope, fight to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, do you have any stats on whether Canadians are big online betters, comparably, per capita? Just interested. I get the feeling, for example, that Mexicans are not. I personally find it abhorrent you could bet on your own team, to go to a match thinking about your bet and not about the sports, terrible. One of the reasons I stopped playing the pools in Spain years ago, I mean, late Sunday evening hoping Elche draws away to Numancia--who the fck cares?

Found this article for you... can't speak for all Canadians, but the Canadians that do bet, ~15B a year in offshore/bookies!? Nothing illegal about offshore in Canada. Betting with a bookie in Canada, that is illegal. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/debate-over-sports-betting-bill-shines-light-on-billion-dollar-grey-zone/article22730609/ LOL on 130 different bookmakers taking bets on the CSL.

When that goal happened, Floro actually showed some emotion. I agree, hope it was a great lesson for the squad. After watching south American qualifying yesterday 3/4 games had an extra time goal, all 3 of those goals were game changing results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have barely even been able to sleep this whole week i just cant wait for it to start, today is the day!!! Wish you guys luck, I hope that tonight we get a good and fair game. PS. Obviously today's game is hard for me beacuse I love Canada so much, and tonight I have to cheer for Mexico, but dont get me wrong in every other chance when its not against the country i was born in, I am Canadian in my heart. ohh... other thing i know some of you are comming to the Azteca game next week, i dont live in Mexico city but i have family and friends there, if there is anything you might need or you guys get in trouble or anything just give me a call I promise i will try to help out (cellphone / whatsapp +52 1 4772077900), and also if you ever come to central Mexico to the state of Guanajuato give me a call, perhaps we could go out for a beer and have a good FUTBOL!! chat. take care guys!

Joe MacCarthy Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 13 minutes ago, Admiral Murray said: Beat Mexico Respect for your great name Admiral and some inspiring words that actually apply to today "Experience had taught me this: to find out what you’re capable of, it is only necessary to get a chance to do it—and someone else must have enough confidence in you to provide that chance. I did my best to give them the opportunity to find their own feet and they did it. Once having tasted success they never looked back. What a blessing that we had the bright young peoples to accept this kind of responsibility". Rear Admiral L.W. Murray was the only Canadian officer in charge of an Allied theatre of operations during WWII commanding all Canadian and Allied air and naval forces involved in convoy protection in that area.
