Pay back for 66.

Unfortunately, this England team has a sense of entitlement amonst its players which is evidently unjustified.

That Suarez goal is a peach, a total peach.

That south Korea goal woke me up from a wee sleep, the Suarez goal really woke me up.

Placed 550 ( @ 1.23 I think ) on the Spain result last night during the game, it was 1-0 at the time, already had 450 ( @ 1.49 ) on before the game.

So I would not really chase down money if I am losing, only reenforcing the win.

Interesting. Thanks.

The data, via a logistic regression model I've run, suggest England will win.

The same regression model you use for your madcap AGW assertions no doubt?
Does it look like a hockeystick by any chance?

Yes, I think I could make a go of living off it. I did when I was at uni but then I had the time to sit and go over the scores for 6 hours before placing a bet.

Now I just sit on my fat arse all day reading this site and the no risk money comes in.

Sounds way over my head. It does go to show that you know nothing about football though. You need to take into account "Sod's law", pundit bulltulip levels, wind direction, Rooney's temperament, ambient temperature, Ledley's knee, John Terry's sulking, James' cockiness and plenty of other contributing factors.

Fair enough. I will bet a grand Scotland don't qualify for the next 5 world cups then

You won't get very good odds for that. Probably make more leaving the money in a current account
