2010 Soccer World Cup

[bluegumby]

Schweinsteiger FGS $10 @ $19

Correct Score $5 Draw 2-2 @ $15

 

[SmothOperRaider]

Im going Germany 3-1 @ $21 for a little wager.

I also have a lottery ticket on Germany just to win with a guy in the office.

$29 on Betfair FWIW.

 

[beez]

A lot of people predicting quite a few goals to be scored. 3 goals or more is paying $2.26, good bet or not?

$26 on Sportingbet too.

ineiesta @ 13 FGS is great value

I've gone with:

Both teams to score @ $1.90

and

Germany to score first @ $2.05

Come on Germany and then come on Spain hahaha

Weve got Germany to win the whole thing for our work bets so if germany make the final I think I'll hedge with Netherlands...

Setting alarm for 4am

^I Like.

I really want Spain to win this game but not sure if they can.

I really dont want Germany to win the cup

Sneijder is $5.80 for the Golden Boot on Betfair, and $4.50 just about everywhere else. He's currently level with Villa ($1.96) on goals, but obviously has one less game to play. Still, you'd think his odds would trim considerably if Villa goes goalless against Germany.

Potentially, whoever ends up playing against Uruguay in the third-place playoff would be better positioned to top the goal scoring...

I put 10 on the holland/spain quinella @ 21 before it all started. so im hoping spain get up tonite. i put 11 on germany to win @ 1.85 to cover my losses tho. haha.

 

[Cuzz09]

Germany = sheizen!

At least have a crack you losers!

 

[SmothOperRaider]

All heil ze octopus!

Wow. Back to the drawing books for the German game plan. Looks like they went back to plan A - bore the opposition into submission. I only watched a half but they never looked like scoring.

When does the Octopus decide the outcome of the final?? He/she knows more than me.

Dunno, but I thought it only did the German games.

Don't discount Thomas Muller's loss to the German attack - not saying it would've been a different outcome, but without him alongside Klose they never looked like scoring.

All heil ze octopus!

QFT! My first thoughts as well, on seeing the result.

 

[cam]

Thankyou, Paul the octopus. Decided to back Spain purely on his recommendation as a fun bet.

 

[Ron]

6/6 for the Octopus.

That is......freaky.

I hope it is still alive for the next euro tournament, i'll make a mint.

 

[midorigreenwood]

he's like 11/12 for germany games....

funny enough the mistake was the euro finals between germany and spain

a case could probably be made that an irate german fan spiked the water that time to confuzzle his psychic abilities.

Isn't he only doing the third/fourth place playoff?

 

[The Doctor 23]

yeh i thought he only did German games too

 

[jimmyclean]

If Paul is still hungry and not too tired after picking Uruguay vs Germany he will pick Spain vs Netherlands too.

 

[RichieRich]

Paul the Octopus has just picked Spain to beat Netherlands

 

[Hodges]

Bet the house, the Octopus has spoken!

 

[SmothOperRaider]

Paul has a poor record of tipping finals w/Spain

 

[premiers06]

I'm pretty sure he's due. I'll be going against him when I have been on him before
