Guess all the 2010 World Cup results and win over £85 million
June 11, 2010
Some competitions offer punters the chance to win exclusive tickets to the World Cup in South Africa whilst some offers will be for tacky football related merchandise, but the online bookies Partybets are going just a little bit better by offering up an amazing prize of €100 million (around £86.5 million in the Queens currency) in cold hard cash, in what must be one of the biggest football related prize funds in history, if you play your cards right with this sort of money you could end up buying your own football team.
So the words “what’s the catch?” must be going through your head, well to win that sort of cash you have got to expect it may be a little bit on the tricky side. All you have to do is correctly guess the correct result for all of the sixty four games in the World Cup, as Meerkats say “Simples”.
However Partybets do know that the chances of such a feat happening are relatively small unless you happen to own a copy of a Sports Almanac with this years results and a Flux Capacitored DeLorean sports car. So in the spirit of fair play they will give a €10,000 Euro prize to the punter that makes the most correct prediction in lovely cash!

- Bookies are not here to lose money.
- If you are going to use several bookmakers use a spreadsheet to keep track of your winnings.
- Dont bet on a pretty name, look at the form.
