Yes, but, as someone who objects to tits saying England instead of United Kingdom, I cannot let this drop.
The Netherlands.

Easier to say? - Shut up Rubix.
I say Holland because it's a mint word. ..'Holland'. Sounds good.

Re: The Official Football Thread
I just have. £10 on Holland. Odds are 10/3. I can't be arsed to work that out.
And I put £5 on Austria going through to the Semis. Odds are 15/2. Can't be arsed working that out either.

Re: The Official Football Thread
At a guess...
£3 would bring me £30...so 3 goes into ten three times and a little bit..so...£100, Minus the ten I already put on, so £90ish if Holland win.
Austria going through will be...£2 would bring me £30...so 2 goes into five two and a little bit...so...£70?..minus the five I already put on...so £65ish if Austria go through.
£90ish and £65ish..
..£150ish...
..Money!

You wish.
10/3 means that for every 3 pounds you bet,you win ten,or break the bet down slightly,divide it by 3,so 10/3 is really 3/1 (ish) so for every pound you bet,you win three.
With me so far?
Okay,you bet ten quid,so if they win,you get 30,plus your original ten,so you win £40.
Sorry about that.
The problem is that the more likely the team is to win,the worse the odds get,so after tonking both Italy and the frogs .....
When I put my bet on Holland before the tournament started they were 12/1,if you had bet then,your tenner would have won you £130
Sorry again.

Ken.
Turkey comeback only to have their keeper sent off in injury time winning 3-2. Immense. Can't believe Portugal lost too.
The Netherlands have so won this.

Re: The Official Football Thread
what an ending! The ref should have added way more than one minute on top of the four though! It'd have been great to have seen a pen shoot out with a make shift keeper.
