Right, I'm almost gonna give up this betting malarky before I've started. I had a look at the odds and thought I fancied Villa and Ibra to score first in their games, but then decided to have a day off due to me losing everything yesterday. I probably would've stuck a few quid on each at 9/2 and 11/2. Shit. That'll fucking teach me - only start gawking at the odds if I definitely plan to place a goddam bet!

Read my story two posts above yours. That'll teach ya....

Anyway. I'm up £15 on the tournament so far. Which isn't bad considering losses on both games yesterday.

OK, so here's today's attempt at redeeming myself covering today/tomorrow...

Portugal, Turkey, Germany and Poland on doubles.

Podolski to score first.

I would've been about £15 up myself if I'd stuck money on Villa and Ibra yesterday. But I didn't, so I am not.

Ugh.

So, unlike the Sexiest Diva stuff, I didn't have everything backed up for this. What I do have though, is the final 1.5 table;

EWB Bookie - Table

1st. SNT - 289

2nd. TheRossWalker - 276

3rd. Ellis - 268

4th. new_era - 225

5th. Farmer Reil - 216

6th. JSV - 209

7th. Pesci - 179

8th. Slogger - 178

9th. Kou - 165

10th. nabeel - 149

11th. Evafreak - 148

12th. Sam_Van_619 - 148

Just a note, the EWB Bookie 2 sign-ups will start within the next two weeks. As said before, all who finished in the top 12 can have a place if they want one. new_era and SNT have already confirmed that they'll be playing.

If everyone else who finished in the top 12 could let me know by PM'ing me, that'd be great. The forthcoming sign-up thread would just be for newcomers to the Bookie or to anyone else interested.

[Scott McFly]

Well at least you saved the table Baddar, that's the important part. I do remember Ellis almost, almost won though. Almost.

Jesus, I really didn't finish in the top 12? I'll assume I was on 147.

Bring on Bookie 2 (Y)
