Dale's a lucky swine.

I don't think I got any bets right.

Wow I didn't realise there was that many people taking part, there didn't seem to that many bets going around, to be honest.

My performance was average; I'm glad I decided not to go all in on Spain to beat Switzerland..

I'm pretty sure I finished with nothing. All in for Germany v Spain to go to extra time. Bugger!

My policy of never betting on the favourite hasn't really worked. I could've done with Higuain getting the golden boot. Quite poor showing.

Phatmann

I was a clown. I was going to go all in on the Netherlands (Netherlands vs Brazil) or Ghana (Ghana vs Uruguay).

I picked the latter and got screwed :( At least Phatmann went in with a lot of credits on Uruguay and had no success either.
Was it my daring bet that made you decide to go all-in? as I remember I made the first bet in the Uruguay v Ghana game. Bloody Uruguayans.

Joel

Nah, Phatmann. I liked the odds for Holland and Ghana, so I decided I was going all in on one of them. Should have listened to Barry and picked the Dutch. But I just couldn't see anything other than a Brazil win.

Was your bet on Uruguay an all in?

As stated before somewhere, my bets turned to shit when the knockout rounds started.

For this reason, I don't think I have a chance at winning anything. Is there anyone here who thinks they're definitely going to win something?

My best bet was the Germany vs England. I put in all of my credits to Germany. England was the favourite, and I knew that it was a very good idea to bet for Germany.

I lost all of it when I was going all for the Netherlands for the final though.

I think I got a good 90% wrong....well done Billy. :(

I was out in the opening day, 250 credits on two games, both teams I backed lost. :lol:

Dale C.

So when do we find out who's actually won?

muscularmatt

17-07-2010, 21:14

Well I can tell ya it aint me, I went all in on England against the Germans.

Dale C.

20-07-2010, 18:35

Any news?

Phatmann

20-07-2010, 19:20

I'll see what I can do but it's probably not fair me posting the winners considering I was part of the competition.

Dale C.

20-07-2010, 19:21

Well get onto Original? because he seemed to take over the competition when Sweey left.

Everytime I think about this it bugs me that the winner hasn't been announced yet lol.

Phatmann

20-07-2010, 19:27

I think he's been busy over the last few days but I'm sure it will be resolved very soon.

Apologies, I've had an inconveniently timed house move from Nottingham to London that was not aided by an incompetent estate agent delaying my move in date! Subsequently I only have my iPhone as Internet access! I will give you the winners as soon as possible!
