Do you mean "don't make it to the quarters" or "don't qualify from the group"?"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

I would want better odds than 4/1 personally. I'd take 8/1 though.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

A week ago The talk the talk was they are now the best team on earth, the last two games has proved anything but that. I mean Algeria?! They should be 2-0 up by now according to all the hype.Originally posted by doodab View PostI would want better odds than 4/1 personally. I'd take 8/1 though.

I have put my money where my mouth is, sort of, and backed ivory coast for the semis and slovenia to win our group at 8-1.
There is no point betting unless the odds are vaguely in your favour, and although it's not a stellar performance we have come pretty close a few times while they haven't had a sniff. I think we'll prob nick this one but if not the draw is more likely than an algeria win.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

That is what is known in the business as a "Housewife's Bet".
You would have got much more money if you worked out the possible England results to make England not go through and the results from other games to make England not go through and applied a mixture of doubles and trebbles on those results.
Down side would be you would most probably got something back and the upside would have been much much more than 4k.
That is why the bookies put these bets out.
I think you will be losing that money in all honestly.Comment
