[Who Needs Mourinho]

P - A penalty is missed during matchday 2 (10 points)

No one chose it.

I did but alas my team didn't - would have finished second this week as well

 

[last request]

Happy with the outcome of those scenarios. Managed to beat the teams who had 1 less to pick than us and tie with Zagorakis who got to pick one more than us.

Not a great start here as Gullit, Klinsmann, Zagorakis and Casillas all fail with their group A bets which means their max returns drop. The leaderboard is empty after night one

Good night for Olsen then. Consolation for us is that Zagorakis lost more money than us tonight.

 

[TomPNE94]

Think I'd have lumped on one bet and hoped for the best.

Wales to beat Russia maybe.

How the bollocks have you worked out that max return, Lee? Have they signed up for some bookie promotional offers or something?

 

[hodge]

Paddy Power do some great deals....

Wales only need a point - knowing our luck probably score in the final second to get it!

 

[Leewilson]

I've just recalculated it to £33.63.....

But then after my first attempt, god knows.

 

[Leewilson]

I have it like this:

Ahhh yes, I counted the bet that didn't come in last night. Thank you. No idea where I got 42 quid from. Must have hit the wrong button on my phone calculator.

 

[Ciderhead]

We'll get more than the rest of you, that's all that matters

Think us and Olsen are neck and neck in terms of money in the bag, we've got £1 more to play with for the remaining games though.

Terrible night for Zagorakis and Deschamps as their max return drops dramatically. Zagorakis in particular took a gamble with a few bigger bets and may rue not chatting more about it as a team beforehand.

 

[Magic]

Tbh I'm not that concerned. I think if Spain/Croatia both score, the return from that will see us in a reasonably decent position.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Think our bets are high risk. But there's still 6 to come in, so I'm feeling slightly confident.

 

[last request]

I thought Klinsmann were the dream team in this, especially with 2 previous winners.

It turns out it's the Gretzky lot (other than Janmaat) turning up again though.

 

[cufc17]

Think our bets are high risk. But there's still 6 to come in, so I'm feeling slightly confident.

I've got a feeling that none of them will come in. It's nice watching other teams fuck up for now, though.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Today could be a decisive day, with all teams having bets on and four teams looking to get off the mark. Current leaders Gullit have the highest potential so they could be in a very strong position by the end of play tonight.

[MJA]

I really don't see how Klinsmann can fail tonight

 

[mente captus]

the max return for team Bullshit seems to be calculated wrongly as they cant win their first and fourth bet at the same time

Fixed. Also fixed your team's bet on Turkey, which said that they're going to beat Croatia...

 

[Aber gas]

Why is that being fixed. They clearly wanted to bet on turkey beating Croatia

 

[Leewilson]

Thanks Veggie for that.

I'm out for dinner tonight so won't be on to live score. Should be back about 9.30 though so will put up the scores later (although Veggie you're welcome to do it after the first round of games at 5pm if you wish).

Also, IMPORTANT NEWS, the 4th advantage task takes place tomorrow (Wednesday) evening at 7.30pm. In a slight change up, the task itself will be posted at 7.30pm in here and then it will be a race against the clock for each team in their PM threads (like the crossword was).

 

[Super_horns]

Sorry will be missing that one.
