    Are exchange prices allowed?

    Because obviously you could lay yourself 1st goalscorer at 999/1 and collect making it a farce.

    Sorry for questions but better to get these things sorted now.

    Fixed odds betting only I presume. No trading or spreads etc.

    Thought betfair was originally allowed? The OP could look at bets to see if genuine and allow or reject as they see fit.

    These are mine, let me know if acceptable.

    Bet 1 = Clint Dempsey Topscorer -top 4 @ 79/1 (betfair) 1pt
    3 in Confederations cup. 5 in qualifying. Fine season for his club and in a group where the US could score a few goals

    Bet 2 = Pedro (spain) Topscorer -top 4 @ 79/1 (betfair) 0.5pt
    Looking for some super sub performances where his pace could trouble weaker teams with games already in the bag

    Bet 3 = Spain/Chile dual forecast group H 5/6 (various) 2pts

    Bet 4 = Kaka top scorer 40/1 (various) 0.5pt ew

    Bet 5 = Holland Team to concede most goals 40/1 (PP) 0.5pt
    Fun bet with a bit of value. Could go far with help of a
    few 3-2 wins


    Closing Bank = 5 points


    In Play = 5 points

    Bet 1 = 10 PT ACCUM

    Spain Win V Honduras 1/6
    Spain Win V Switzerland 1/3
    Chile Win v Switzerland 6/5
    Chile Win v Honduras 8/13
    Spain Win v Chile 8/13
    Netherlands Win v Denmark 4/7

    Roughly 14/1 accum if i have not miscal


    Closing Bank = 0points
    In Play = 10 points

    Spains group is very predictable, large class difference between them and the rest, and also between Chile and Swiss - Easy 1-2 Spain and Chile
    Swiss won arguably the poorest group in Europe, Chile matched goals scored by Brazil in SA qualifiers

    Also Netherlands should start very well with some big names in the team, will go far in competition if they dont implode

    Im going to have to say no im afraid. I made it clear that registration closed at 11 on the 3rd or whatever it was so it would just undermine any structure if I kept allowing latecoomers to participate

    I wish you all the best with your selections regardless

    Bet 1 = Opening day match double:
    South Africa Vs Mexico - Draw 11/5 PP
    France Vs Uruguay - Draw 11/5 PP
    1 Point
    Reasoning: Mexico should be the better of the 2 sides but I do think home advantage will be a factor.
    I'm not convinced by France's centre halves think Forlan and co will be well capable of scoring.
    I'll go for a drab opening day 2 scored draws
    Closing Bank = 9 points
    In Play = 1 points

    Bet 2 = Uruguay Vs France - Both teams to score - 10/11 PP
    2 Points
