Haha, not about the money. We have always did it that way for as long as I can remember, any bet on anything.

You are aware of how gambling works right?

$100 on Spain at say 1.30 will pay out $130 and you lose $70 overall anyway
A draw screws it all up and loses you $200.

Should've just put $70 on a Holland win if you're comfortable with losing $70.

whatever happens : If Spain wins I become 2nd in the family and friends sweep and i'll get 80 euro (put in 5)
If Sneijder becomes top goalscorer I get 180 euro.

if Holland wins...well it's worth losing money over

Can you draw in a final? Or for purposes of betting, does an even score at the end of extra time count as a draw regardless of who wins on penalties?

[Matteh]

Is usually just the score at the end of 90 minutes.

Ah

Yeah, I know. We started betting equal amounts on local cricket matches without knowing wtf it meant since childhood, I know I am going to lose money, but we do it anyway as tradition.

[Marcuss]

Do it with $1 then. St00pid.

[Shri]

Already discussed, idea rejected.

There have been no ties in WC finals right? Right?

ur being stupid. the oracle has already predicted the winner.

Apparently the octopus is Italian.

I want Holland to win so Sneijder can cap off an amazing 12 months and win four trophies (Serie A, Coppa Italia, Champions League, and the World Cup should the Dutch get up).
