Anyone get e-mailed this offer?
After some deliberation, I decided to lay Spain to win over Paraguay. I know this is unlikely to happen as Paraguay are not strong, and Villa is running hot; but then again Spain are perennial underperformers in the World Cup, and Paraguay is a staunchly defensive side who will consider their best chance of winning to be in a shootout.
Laying Spain @ $1.54 I was able to lock in a $46 profit if Paraguay win or draw in regulation, with no downside, because Betfair refund your loss up to $25 liability. If I'd gone for a more straight forward option, I would have been a good chance of making $10 or so.
I didn't want to lay Brazil @ $1.98 because I consider them a better chance of winning in regulation than Spain, frankly.
What have you guys opted for?
