Intercontinental playoff 1st-leg report
This post is the TLDR, full and updated details are here https://bitedge.com/blog/betting-my-way-to-russia-intercontinental-playoff-1st-leg-report/
The game: 0-0
Honduras played poorly, particularly given they were the home team. All they offered was the long ball which defenses at this level can deal with. Even when they had the chance for a quick counter attack it usually took the form of a hopeful long pass. A team playing like that is counting on luck to help them score.
The bets and expenses
As detailed in my previous post I bet Australia to qualify at odds of 1.83. It is now up at odds of 1.43 which means the bet is much more likely to win now than it was before the first game.
San Pedro Sula Honduras
San Pedro Sula is like Gotham City without Batman. Its a poor ugly industrial town and it feels a bit unsafe. Really its about the same as most unremarkable places in the developing world. Its not as bad as sensationalist media says, but you would not choose to spend time here unless it was for work or family.
