Why did I not put a bet on Belgium?

They were 11/10 before kick off. I predicted a 3-0 win for Belgium before kick off and I would have put a bet on if I knew they were that price. It's buying money! :o

Good point, but with us having so many injuries mind and fielding a weak looking team, 11/10 was excellent value for Belguim. Bale just almost scored to make me look an idiot mind! Come on Wales!

No it means you win 11 for everu 10 staked.

Basically yes. Just over evens which is double your money.

Good value in hindsight but 11 v 11 we will never know
