As for gambling on these matches, I'll give you my best bets daily throughout the tournament. Basically, if I see an edge, and I'm betting on it, I'll share it. I want us all to win!
I believe in transparency, so my tournament best bets record currently sits at 26-14, +$930. This is based on my wager amounts, with each being to win $100. But remember, you can always bet any amount you are comfortable with.
Let's finish the group stage strong with a few bets I'm making for Day 15.
Morocco vs. Colombia, 3 a.m. ET Thursday, FS1 and the FOX Sports app
Colombia win or draw and Both Teams To Score No (-127)
We’ve arrived at the final day of group play. Can Colombia follow up on the emotional high from beating Germany and get at least a point here to wrap up the group?
My guess is yes as Morocco has not shown a lot in attack and Colombia has yet to concede a goal in the run of play. Even in the 1-0 win over South Korea, Morocco had the ball just 35% of the time with two shots on goal and was nearly doubled up in dangerous chances.
It feels like the type of game where Colombia might even be afforded a little bit of a letdown or slow start and still get out with a 0-0 draw.
PICK: Colombia win or draw and Both Teams To Score No (bet $10 to win $17.87 total)

South Korea vs. Germany, 3 a.m. ET Thursday, FOX and the FOX Sports app
South Korea Under 0.5 goals (-146)
After a shocking loss to Colombia, expect Germany to be much better in this match.
Odds are Germany is staring at second place in Group H as Colombia should earn a point versus Morocco. But this is about Germany getting its confidence back as it allowed Colombia to dictate the last match. I expect it to be much more focused from the start here.
South Korea hasn’t done a whole lot in attack, so I feel the best bets are BTTS no or South Korea Under 0.5 goals scored. The South Korea team total is the better price, so that's where I’ll head as my best bet for the match.
PICK: South Korea Under 0.5 goals (bet $10 to win $16.85 total)
