overall was a great world cup. good fun to watch, and i spent some time researching football and feel i know alot more now than i did before

this is a great site, and has really got me into the tactical side of football. they have recomended a few books that i will begin reading soon.

betwise, in the end with the WC pool i lost between $400 and breakeven depending on the results of our 'blackest player to score' sidebet. i think i have a good chance of winning that one.

i won both my big bets, uruguay to get out of their group for 240GBP and uruguay to get to the semis for 3600GBP.

i did hedge with ghana for $600 that game though, so only won about 3200GBP overall. i'd say everything included i won about $5k betting this WC.

i won a couple hundred betting $25/game, but then broke even hedging, and lost a little with some nice bets on outsiders winning.

was good fun, and nice to win some money doing some non poker gambling

congratulations to spain, they derserve to be world champions, although i am gutted holland didn't win. my dad is dutch, so they are always my 2nd team, and i would have won another $3.5k if they won the world cup


i'll probably come up with a WC 11 in the next few days and post it here
