What odds were Holland to win the world cup?

[philblack]

Can anyone tell me what the best odds were for Holland to win the world cup approx 3 weeks before kick off? I would appreciate a little hard evidence to back it up. Thanks.

Are you saying that you could've had a good bet but missed the opportunity and now things are swaying their way and the bookies are giving rubbish odds now?

[philblack]

No, its not that, but some guy told me he backed Holland 3 weeks before kick off and told me he got ridiculous odds. I just want to prove him wrong cause I think he's bullshi**ing.

I would say about 12/1 but I will try and find out for sure.

[bigfoot3000]

What exactly did he bet on how much does he reckon he's betted and how much is he due to pick up?

[philblack]

APPARENTLY he got 26/1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! BULLSH**T. Heh I could be wrong.

[bigfoot3000]

Soory phil I dont understand the betting gameas I don't gamble, so that means he gets 26 x the amount he's betted right? Which was?

This article from before the tournament started has Holland at 10/1

On the 1st of June Holland were 10/1 to win the world cup betting with bet365.

Fact!

[philblack]

I do know another guy who got 16/1 on Betfair!! I think thats probably the best you could have got, but Betfair is punter against punter. Am I wrong?

[Akinator]

Always better to use betfair for better odds. Yes it is punter against punter.

but your mate is full of it.

[philblack]

He wagered £20 on the so called 26/1. LOL.

[bigfoot3000]

Understood phil, so he reckons that he'll pick up 260 quid!

I got 12-1 start of the tournament with ladbrokes, and 14s on Germany 12s on the argies too......glad I got in when I did

[Akinator]

Well I got 1000/1 that Brazil to win the world cup 1-0

[Akinator]

But Pele has to score the winner.

[horseshoes]

I got 9/1 a few days before the tournament.
