Just don't mention this to the Admin, please? I don't want to end up losing this year's bonus.

I've got some catching up to do, so
920 on Brazil.
All of mine on Brazil too please.
Should I take a chance on Holland? Perhaps it's their year.
Holland vs Brazil - 50 Bunyans on Holland
Uruguay vs Ghana - 50 Bunyans on Uruguay
Could be, could be. Robben looked good the other night.
However 198 Jairzinhos on Brazil.
Then if they win 396 Nasazzis on Uruguay.
I just never learn.
Brazil 200
Ghana 50
I'll take the whole 700 on Holland, thank you!
Oh dear, those 700 all going to be lost!!! :smilewinkgrin:Quote:

I can even tell you I just bet $20 on Holland 3-2 at fulltime at 40 to one!
There'll be champers and scotch all round at t'Blokes' Club if that one comes off.
:cheers2:
If I have learned one thing from all of this World Cup gambling, it is that one simply must be bold, and take the big risk:
3 Jobims on Brazil.
100 on Brazil
Today, I put
10 Shelleys on The Netherlands
and
10 Shelleys on Ghana
Lulim what does your German octopus say about today's games? :wink5:
nothing clearly, my bets are mere random guesses -- better ask tomorrow :)Quote:

So for loyalty's sake I put 20 on Holland and 20 on Ghana.
I'd like to place 50 on Brazil.
I am going for the underdog - Not Brazil!
At least you'll have more elbow room on that side of the stadium. :]
My heart and my money go with Holland. And where those two go, my head tends to follow, despite intellectual misgivings.

Genocide> I am very sorry but no new players are allowed in the game since the beginning of the second round.
Truth be told, I would be delighted to see Holland winning this match and if I had less points, I would probably have bet on them but at this stage, I think I will bet on Brazil.
I don't even want to think about the Ghana game yet :-/
What a goal from Brazil!
And I have to go... Can't even watch the match!
Wow, first he makes an own goal, then he kicks a player laying on the ground and receives red. Way to go Felipe Melo...
And who does Dani Alves think he is? Shooting from 30 or 40 meters all the freaking time, yet he can't even shoot. Seriously he can't even kick thirty meters far without the ball hitting the ground..
15 more minutes, Brazil can get back even with ten players. This is gonna be an intense finish! ATTACK!!
Boy did some of us get wiped out!
Just watched the highlights. What a game it has been!
The Dutch goals were excellent (though the first one is helped by Melo a little :p).
And how many did Kaka miss?
I am very happy that Holland is through but, oh man... My coins!
Now to decide what to do about the second match today...
I want Ghana to go through with all my heart but can they do it? It was an easier decision when they were playing against the USA.
I now root for Uruguay, it's the last team in I actually like (starting with five). So far, this world cup is as bad as the last one for me, my favorite teams play terrible, and there are few goals and lots of boring games. Or actually it's even worse cus of the referees.. Yet it's still great because it's a WORLD CUP! And games like the one just now are amazing to watch..
Well, I've run out of coins.. Good luck to everyone who still has some, and thank you Scher for organizing all this, it's an awesome thread!
Hey, was that directed at me?Quote:

Should have known Brazil was gonna lose when Bill bet on them... :svengo:
So, I go out at half time with Brazil clearly on top, a goal up, playing well.
I come home an hour later to find they have lost, self-destructed and are out.
Oh where are the certainties of yesteryear? What is there left that we can cling to, adrift upon this sea of chance?
And some of us made out ok!Quote:

I have thus far earned a record of 1-12 in my predictions during this tournament. One nice bit of trivia: The ONLY team able to persevere in the face of my support has been Uruguay, and so I don't really feel like it's a risk when I place this bet:
1 on Uruguay.
I'd like to play it safer, but this is not the stage in the game for me to be careful anyhow. Pren is right on my tail.

Ooookay. I'd be pretty cleaned out anyway.... this saves me some fake money... and some dignity. Not really. :]Quote:

Goodbye Brazil!
Yayyyy Holland.
I'm glad Brazil are out. Who wants the same teams to win all the time?
Ghana have just got a penalty in extra time for a handbal!!!!
