World Cup Bets

I can't help but being patriotic here

I'll symbolically bet Netherlands to win in 90min, as soon as I figure out how to use this prepaid card that I got as a gift. I also want to see how that works on bwin.

I hope I'll manage to do that before the betting is closed.

Thomas Muller @ 16/1

Stake : £10.00

He's banned for the semi isn't he? Hence the long odds.

So who wins the golden boot then?

Gribs · 11 Jul 2010 at 22:26

I also mugged a few quid on Muller to be top scorer. He's won the golden shoe (because of assists) but I suspect most bookies will only pay out 1/4 odds as it was a 4 way split in terms of goals.

Hope not.

Sums up my luck really then, I had a quid on Villa, Klose and Sneijder.

britboy4321 · 11 Jul 2010 at 22:34

Had a tenner on Spain winning and a tenner on Holland each way.

Hope so...

I had £10 on Villa being top scorer and Spain winning at 15/1.

I'd rather get a quarter of that then nothing at all.

But technically he is the top scorrer and will be awarded so by fifa.

Shamikebab · 11 Jul 2010 at 22:41

betfair have paid out 1/4, just got my money for Villa.

I guess the bookies will see the 'FIFA Golden Boot' and 'Top Goalscorer' as two different things. One is an actual award, whereas the other is just as stat for the most goals scored.

I suppose it depends on whether you bet on "Top Goalscorer" or "Winner of the Golden Boot", I expect it was probably top goalscorer market to which there was no winner really, unlucky mate.

Damn beaten to it.

Any one know how long Quidco take to give you your cash back (with the Betfair one)? I signed up to Betfair last month, the £40 cash back was validated on June 24th but still nothing?

Mine hasn't been either. Says up to 60 days.
