Fair enough. I’ll use tenbobminimumbet.co.pl instead.

Tempting offers there, but William Hill have a special offer where if an English commentator or pundit mentions how the new ball is really light and not like the heavy balls of olden days, they refund all losing ‘To Qualify From Group’ bets made in lions, lion bars or any other big cat related paraphenalia.
Looks like there’s just no room in big business for the little guy trying to make a living offering lion based bets in these modern times.

Helger, what price would you give me for Ghana to go all the way to the final, only to loose to Togo on penalties?

Sorry, there was a typo in my last message, I think you’ll agree that the new odds are much better than Betfair are offering. My comment should have read…

“I’ll give odds of 17 lions to 16 lions (*) for the Ivory coast to reach the second round. As a special once in a lifetime offer, this becomes 17 Lion bars to 16 Lion Bars (**) if you can correctly predict the Ivory Coast’s top scorer in the group stages.

(*) Due to the EU’s severe restrictions on the trade of dangerous wild animals, only one lion is allowed per household.
(**) Wrappers only - Lion bars will be eaten by bookie.”

Odds (*) and (**) are identical. (1.0625 or 17/16) and offer rather poor value for money. The current Betfair market has Ivory Coast at 3.55s to qualify from “El Grupo del Muerte”
