Time for the knockouts!

Las Vegas - Welcome to the knockout round. No more groups, no more draws. Just win or go home. As for betting the knockouts, here's a little thumbnail for those just starting to throw a few bucks at the World Cup. You can still enjoy three-way betting on either team to win or, yes, a draw. So, for example, in the Brazil/Japan game you can bet Brazil to win at -$140, Japan to win at +$450 or a draw +$280. These bets are based on the score at the end of 90 minutes and stoppage time. If the score is tied after 90 minutes, they have two 15 minute periods of extra time to determine a winner. There is no golden goal, so both halves are always played in full. If it is still tied after 120 minutes, the teams go to a shootout. If you're not thrilled about betting the three-way, you can just take either team to win. Brazil would be around -$280 and Japan would be around +$220
Of course, there are seven thousand prop wagers as well. And it just so happens that we're gonna throw down on the 'both teams to score prop' in this match at around -$110. Looked at Brazil's results this year and the Selecao have played eight matches and allowed goals in six. The last two matches, they kept clean sheets against Haiti (3-0) and Scotland (3-0), two of the worst teams at the dance. Japan has played six games this year, including three in the group stage at the Cup and has scored in EVERY game. The Samurai will find the net and so will the Selecao. Money baby.
And looking at the same prop, 'both teams to score,' in the Netherlands/Morocco match. The Oranje have scored 24 goals in their last 10 games and always find the back of the net. The Atlas Lions have scored 22 goals in the last 10 games and we're betting that both teams will get on the board at Gillette Stadium tonight.
