There's a bet type called "1/2 goal" in Sg Pools.
Usually the favorite team out of the 2 teams involved in a match will be assigned to "give ball" while the underdog team will "eat ball".
E.g. SA vs MEX, sgpool think that SA is the favorite, so SA will give 1 1/2 goals (-1.5) and likewise MEX will eat 1 1/2 goals (+1.5). This means that at the start of the game (0-0), the betting score is actually SA 0 MEX 1.5. SA need to win by 2 goals or above to clear this handicap, and likewise for people who bet on MEX +1.5, they just need MEX to NOT LOSE by 2 goals or above to win the bet.
looks like i was right not to bet on England beating USA, too bad England escaped with a draw !!
Germany will beat Australia for sure so bet on them big and then compound on Slovakia beating New Zealand !
Brazil (-2.5) vs Nth Korea not looking too safe ! this WC looking more and more like 1990 with very little goals and the ball seems to be making it difficult to score unless you got CRAP goalies like England !
any tips for netherlands denmark?
i think this one can skip to bet.. what do u say?
and also italy's match, got tips bo.

i'm not betting on Holland-Denmark since Denmark aren't pushovers and can hold Holland to draw, not very safe !
if wanna bet - take Holland to win
i'm compounding my bets so i can't afford to take risky bets.
Italy-Paraguay also the same leh, Paraguay is another tough to beat team and Italy now weaker than ever and they tend to cock-up in early games.
if wanna bet - take Paraguay +1.5 lor

Gracias, i only expect 2-0.
hope my luck holds for Cameroon !
Brazil should be able to clear 2 and 1/4 and Portugal should be able to beat Ivory Coast.
kelong ah Cameroon !!! i suspect those blackies threw the match just like the Nigerians back in 1998 !!!
so you lost yesterday

my friend is of the same opinion
and i was right about Holland and Paraguay !
matches i'm aiming for : -
1) Spain vs Honduras (give 1.5)
2) Switzerland vs Honduras (win only)
3) Holland vs Japan (give 1.5 if Robben plays, if not then win only)
4) Paraguay vs New Zealand (win only)
5) Italy vs New Zealand (win only)
6) Argentina vs Sth Korea (win only)
7) England vs Algeria (give 1.5)

no surprise, man !
the Japs were so crappy pre-WC !
the Nigerians did it before when they were poorly paid by their FA, it was later proved to be true that they threw matches in the WC in 1998 i think.
ball is round.....that's why :) There's no reason why the slovaks wouldnt have won it but they didn't.
you can win thousands on the trot but all it takes is one game to make u lose everything. The money isnt yours till you stop once and for all.
lucky i never bet on Slovakia match after i took a look at their pre-WC friendly results as well as New Zealand's !
i didn't do that for Cameroon but even if i did, i would still bet on those Blackies to win since the Japs were so crappy !
i think the ball is the culprit why so little goals and the favourites can't score ! i think Brazil will beat the Koreans only by 2 ............
i'm gonna compound bet on these 3 nobrainers.........
Argentina vs South Korea - Arg to win only
England vs Algeria - Eng give 1.5
Holland vs Japan - Hol to win only
u can trust england meh? heskey never score goals one.
"Slovakia vs New Zealand >> another nobrainer ! bet on Slovakia at 1.38, remember to bet big !"
lol

Against minnow Algeria, England must win in order to qualify for Round 2.
england will struggle to beat algeria, maybe win 1-0 or 2-1. england dun have the quality lar unlike spain and brazil.

lucky i didn't feel right so i never bet on that one or Brazil !
i think the culprit is the ball because i saw New Zealand, North Korea and Japan in the qualifiers and they were really lousy !

Didn't feel right then still instigate people with such sheer confidence: "remember to bet big!" -_-"zzzzzz It's so easy to comment on what are the wisest bets (or make unverifiable remarks on what you've bet) only when the results are out. But give you some credit lah, at least you salvaged some face when you recanted your opinions on Brazil.. :D
The ball is round. There are no "sure bets".
so with the jabulani, the ball is rounder than one thinks huh.

True. Bookie always win de. You can always win from Feb to April (For example), But you can LOSE EVERYTHING once you set a wrong bet.
If sure bets, I think teams like Man U, Barcelona etc... can get more than 100 points liao. The best team may have to flop one of the times.
So, go work is a better choice. Only use 1% of profit to bet, xiao du yi qing, shi ke er chi. And I am glad to see that the queue in Singapore Pools is not long. Seem that people know the harmful effects of betting.
I waiting for WC season to end to see how much profits from bookie branch and money loaning. =D~~
I have to thank alot of the gamblers out there.. for pooling in. he he
