my next bet is $10 on england @ $1.62 to win

 

[BoyBrumby]

Just paid a visit to Mr Ladbrookes in my lunch hour. Bets I put on are:

Brazil to win: £5 @ 5/2
Ronaldo top-scorer: £5 @ 10/1
Shevchenko top-scorer: £5 each-way (pays on top 4) @ 25/1
Pauleta top-scorer: £5 each-way @ 25/1
Accumulator on Germany, Poland, England, Sweden & Argentina to win their first games: £5. CBA to work out odds!

Bets to win only pay each-way on 1st or 2nd, which is a bit tight IHMO considering there are 32 starters. If it paid on top 4 I'd have had fiver on yer Dutch @ 12s.

Looked @ Oz to make second round. 7/4 not quite worth my money. Needed to be at least 5/2 for value.

EDIT: Worked out my accumulator: £5 pays me £34.38 plus my stake back. So slightly less than 7/1.
