For sports betting platforms, the World Cup is a massive event that draws in a huge crowd looking to place bets, and they hand out plenty of free bets to attract new players. You didn't manage to guess the match result, but at least you only lost a free bet, so I'm sure you weren't too upset about it. Besides, predicting World Cup matches is notoriously difficult, as this tournament is famous for its unexpected surprises.
I'm not upset at all. Why should I? Whale is a fair and nice platform. And generous too.
My point was about the number of surprising results. Imho they are more than usual.
PS. of course, that's also making the bets more interesting, especially for those with more appetite for risk.
I agree, a draw between the Netherlands and Japan is one thing, but a draw between Spain and Cap Verde?!? These results have ruined tickets for a lot of people. Weak teams don't go to the World Cup. From this start, it's clear there will be plenty of surprises.
Now I'm watching the Belgium-Egypt match and I thought Belgium would easily win, but it's the 52nd minute and Belgium is losing 1-0!!!
This is a truly exciting World Cup!
