Well, fellow boardsie world cup gamblers, we've almost come to the end for 4 more years. Had a great early run, losing most of it back now, but that's the life. It's been great fun, and even with the match at 2-2 last night, was in the chance of a decent return with 3-2 at 50/1.

Hard to say I was trounced by an octopus over the last 2 weeks, but hey, gonna try beat him again tonight.

Down €21 from last night, started with €50, keeping that much, so worst case a break even world cup, no complaints there.

Tonight - €10 anytime goal, Alonso 11/2. €5 at goal Kuyt - 9/2. And €15 Holland to lift trophy 6/4 (f u Octopus !!). Finally, €2.50 Holland 3-2 (55/1), and €2.50 Spain 3-2 (35/1)

In Play €35
Losses : €437.50
Wins : €485.87

+ €48.37

See you all in 4 years !! (Will summarise tomorrow to finish it off..):)

ghosttown

5 euro back cos of 0-0, 30 euro loss.

Final standing.

Losses €467.50
Wins €490.87

+ 23.37............guess i'll have to pick a golfer with that for the weekend ahead !! €11.50 each way Soren Kjeldsen at 125/1 it is....

Cheers and best of luck.
