A very brillant start by Spain in the 1st 10 mins. Lots of yellow cards and fouls in the 1st half. Hope no red cards this finals. Decisions have gone in favor of the Dutch so far. They are lucky not to have gotten the red for the kong fu kick by De Jong on the chest of Alonso.

Quite a few Holland players are rough in this match. We may see a red card in 2nd half.
Milo,
AM I TALKING COCK TO YOU? FOR WHAT I DO THAT? I'm pissed with that suggestion from your reactions.
Why such big reaction? You are just mentioning that you are overseas and hence is not able to bet - I just pointed to the possibility of betting online.
How would I know you could have tried betting online and not successful? And your unsuccessful betting online is when you are overseas already?
My take on your unsuccessful online betting. If you are dead serious about it, you would have set it up correctly when the world cup started. I have been through this for many world cups.. I also have my online betting system ready even when I was in SG .. - because you can still bet online when the match is progressing..
Actually my posts is more about the "ability" to predict.. yes, it is easy to say.. but you have to put money on it to prove it.

sm,
anyway, i have been putting money on all my predictions except the week I was away. I did manage to buy on the 3rd placing and final match as I returned on Friday evening. And not depend on some octopus prediction. Those that bought Spain would have lost as it drew.
I seek a more logical prediction about that animal. More probable reasons than it being somehow magically gifted. Maybe, its the owner playing a trick, how it is done? Could be training. Not sure if its colorblind or not but it seems to be attracted by the bright stronger colours. Only in the Germany vs Spain match, it chose Spain as the spain flag has even more portions of yellow than Germany. Think about the rest... Argentina, England, Uruguay, Holland. Much plainer.
Back to your statement :
"And don't talk about able to predict and WOULD have won money.. and about overseas.. if you really want to bet you can bet online.."
Why don't I talk about that when its exactly the case?

i won the bet on >2.5 but lost on a win for spain in 90mins... overall, still a loss. haha...
btw, the octopus "predicted" an outright win for spain, so it was correct.
all in all, a very tough game for both sides when chances were far and few between. for me, Casillas is the hero as he saved shots by Robben.
i really enjoyed this World Cup.

Spain won all matches they needed to win the cup but made all punters that bet on them lost money all the way starting with their shocking defeat in the opening. Only the Germany match where the Germans seemed the heavier boat did they clear their handicap.
Vios, eat half ball at 1.85 is pretty decent mah.

sorry typos again... due to lack of sleep. yawn.....
+1.5(holland) was at 1.2 something.
-1.5(spain) was at 2.2 or something but still crazy lah.
yep, s'pore pools accepts wages for over/under 2.5 goals and other new types, but not as comprehensive as the private ones when it comes to bets such as "team to kick-off".
haha...
