Of the three outright bets placed on South American outsiders on 4 December only one remains. Ten points were staked on that day on Colombia, Chile and Uruguay. We came very close to guaranteeing a semi-final spot when 50/1 Chile were a whisker away from upsetting the hosts. They hit the bar with just a couple of minutes of extra-time remaining when the match was tied at 1-1.
At least the biggest of the three bets was placed on Colombia @ 28/1 (2.5 points each-way). They must have a sporting chance of beating Brazil on Friday. The hosts' biggest assets are the crowd and Neymar. I understand that their leading striker has picked up an injury however. Colombia are now 12/1 in the outright list.
Germany at 7/1 is my only other outright bet still running and my dream result is a Colombia v Germany semi-final with the South American outfit prevailing. Well here's hoping.....
