Group stage matches for the third leg in Groups G & H have been posted.

Bets for the first four matches in the Round of 16 are also live. A note about betting in the knockout stages - betting on a player to score will only pay out for goals in regulation or extra time. Scoring in a penalty shootout does not pay. Betting on a team to win pays out no matter how they win. For the sake of brevity and my sanity I'm establishing those ground rules here in the thread rather than explaining them in each and every bet.

You are more likely to be bitten by Luis Suarez (1 in 2,000) than a shark (1 in 3,700,000)

Bettor cashes in on Luis Suarez bite

When Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez apparently bit Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini, a man living more than 5,300 miles away was awoken from a deep sleep.

The man's name is Thomas Syversen, a Norwegian living in Trondheim, the country's third largest city. Syversen saw that Betsson, an online gambling site based in Malta, was offering 175-1 odds that Suarez, who had bitten other players before, would bite someone during the World Cup and, on a hunch, placed the equivalent of a $5.25 bet (3.85 euros) on the first day of action in Brazil.

"I had 32 [Norwegian] krone on it, so it was just for fun," Syversen told ESPN.com.

When Suarez took the apparent bite in the 79th minute, Syversen said he was awoken by a friend who texted him what had just happened.

Sure enough, Syversen checked and the equivalent of $916 (673 euros) was deposited into his account for winning the bet.

Andreas Bardun, sportsbook manager for gambling site Betsson, where Syversen placed his bet, said 167 gamblers placed bets on the prop.

The biggest winner was a Norwegian who won $3,300, he said, but he cited company policy not to disclose any of the names of its bettors.
