The Swiss/Port. game was meaningless. Portugal had the group locked up, why play starters against a last place team. That game was an easy win for the Swiss.

precisely. I always said that Portugal without Deco and Ronaldo wouldn't be anything like so strong

Agreed.
Full strength, they score AT LEAST three goals, if not more. I really want to see a Spain-Portugal game if possible. The level of offensive play in that one would be unmatched.

with both today's matches still at a tie I'm already starting to look forward to tomorrow's matches (OK, so i was too late to bet today and therefore wants the rest of you to move on as well!)
We've got Netherlands - Romania, a pretty easy bet I think. Even though Romania's been good and know they will precede to the next stage with a win tomorrow the Netherlands been probably the very best team so far - I don't see them loosing this now. Now, the Italy - France match's a real treat! A replay of 06's World Cup final. And the loosing team will drop out of the tournament, so they've both got all to loose. I'm guessing for a close and exciting game, but I fear they might get to defensive, both of them. Neither's done great in the tournament thus far either; a loss to the Dutch and a draw against the Romanians for both... not a good Euro for such giants. I see it as a draw for now, this might require an update later.

no, bet they took a hit there >< We're not running a very complex system, so actually today wasn't a great day for poor ol' Caster, either
 Italy - France is going to be a treat, is it, wålf? I hope for the sake of that statement they raise their game... both been below par (good in flashes, but for long spells, meh...).

I'm actually taking Romania tomorrow.
Why, you ask? The Dutch are probably going to rest at least the majority of their starters, if not all. It will still be close, but due to the firepower disparity there will be, I will take Romania because they are actually playing for something, as opposed to the Dutch, who've got things locked up.

Also, if Holland have any sense of humour, they'll let Romania win to knock out the World Cup finalists

Hmm, shouldn't a correct prediction only net someone the amount they put in? (IE bet 1k on Poland. Poland wins, I get 1k) It seems weird that I could bet the same amount on each, not get the score right, go 50% on my guesses, and come out ahead 2k
If its this way, you should also lose double the points if you're wrong

You bet 1000 points on Poland winning, you get back your stake, doubled
 What you're saying is what we're doing If you were only given 1000 points back, you'd effectively win but not win any points. No incentive If you bet 1000 points, your team wins, you get 1000 points back plus your stake. 2000 points. Get the score right, you get another 1000 for getting that right If you fail to get anything right, you lose what you put in. Bet 1000 points on Poland winning 2-0 and the result's a draw, you lose your 1000 points. I really don't see what the problem is

Hmm..well explain it better the other time then! Seemed like I would bet 2k, then win 4k
 Never got any notices of the Caster taking away my money, but giving me 4k

gave you 4000 cos you bet 2000 on the first game, got the winner right but not the score, so doubled your money. Got right score but wrong team on the other game, so got 0 for that one
 Overall those two games = gain of 2000 points Clear? hinabrainwave: I'm aware now that I'm talking crap Don't worry, Shira wins I'm fair to dense and generous to be a bookie I forgot to take points away first... pillock Shira's way is much better

The score was not right, it was 1-0 for the wrong team! I'll take the points though...this time
