TOP OF THE DAY

17 January 2006

after various reports on the world cup by my counterparts, we come to the most impt part of world cup, PUNTING by punter Martini Yo. as the uncle says goes.. " world cup is the best cup to win money "

lets take a closer look at various odds offered by easybet . for the opening game we have the germans against the costa ricans. germans are fav in this fixtures. at -1.25, i certainly wont bet against the host. the vistors will stand no chance of pulling a setback in the allianz arena.

another interesting match would be england against paraguay. at -0.75, betting against paraguay might reap benefits as we know England has a serious chance of winning the WC, they would not allow paraguay to dent their ambitions and the players will be raring to go after the criticism they received and they got the best players on the book, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard and not forgetting Beckham. But dont expect it to be a convincing win by England as Paraguay will show the natural skill and technique of the South Americans to counter the usual toughness of the English game.

Holland VS. Serbia and Montenegro, an all European tie. At Holland -0.5, i would say go for Serbia and a draw will be a fair result. Holland is favourite on paper, but dont forget Serbia's mean defence that only let in a goal in the qualifying phase, in which their group consist of Spain.

Now we will forcus on a WC new-comer, Angola. Being new comers, their entire game against Portugal will be powered by the andreanaline and don expect to see much football in this game. Angola will cover every blade in the Rhein Energie Stadion and close down spaces to prevent Portugal to play their football with they grit and energy. However with better players and tactics, Angola shouldnt poised as a problem for Portugal, who at -1.5, will be yet another favourite.

other hotpicks :
France, -0.75 against Switzerland
Brazil, -1.25 against Coratia
Saudi Arabia, +0.5 against Tunisia
Mexico, -1 against Iran
Argentina, -1.25 against Ivory Coast
Trinidad and Tobago, +1.5 against Sweden

these are the first few matches in Germany. Expect more insight reviews of the matches in the following episodes of "Punting with Yo." and Yo wishes everyone Heng ah HUAT AH!

finally got my lazy bum off the chair n start blogging hahaha actually i am lying on my bed but who cares! as long as i update hahaha it has been 2 weeks.....

seems to be living day by day now. days seems to pass by so fast hur. i rmb last week broke tt quite a lame record set by wad Dr Tan. ok i admire his determination.. when he cycled passed me i feel very motivated to run n i paced him half a round tts kuite a feat eh, for me at least.. he is on lane one while i am like on lane 6.. but if an over amount is spend on this lame thing i think its not worth it.. like tt time tt Mr Khoo.. he broke de record of staying under water for 9 days ? and at de same time he spent 150k of the sponsor. it is quite an irony coz beside it is a booth for tsunami relief and we are here spending 150k to let one person stay underwater for 9 days, holding tt stupid board n tell ppl he is fine or wad. i found no motivation n sense in tt. he has done great in overcoming tt himalaya expedition but this is not too convincing....
