Higuain leading the pack to be the World Cup top goal scorer
June 29, 2010
All over England betting slips lay torn up and discarded on the floors of betting shops and punters have seen their sure fire certs go by the wayside as the hundreds of thousands of pounds that backed England striker to win the World Cup Golden Boot now line the accounts of the bookmakers. In what should have been the football equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel Wayne Rooney failed to score a solitary goal for his England side.
However if you were wise enough to look past the England squad and looked at the South American players early on in the tournament you may have struck a bargain as the current leading goal scorer at the tournament is Argentinean Gonzalo Higuain who was well over odds of 50/1 to be top goal scorer and Germany’s Thomas Mueller was not in the top ten to gain the golden boot.
World Cup top goal scorer odds
Odds are supplied by Paddy Power and the goal scorers current tally is listed in brackets.
- 9/4 – Gonzalo Higuain(4 goals)
- 22/1 – Thomas Mueller (3 goals)

Will there be snow in Africa this World Cup Time?
June 16, 2010
Hum the title to the Band Aid single and you might get a little chuckle on your face but quite surprisingly it may actually happen during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and more importantly it could even happen in the England versus Algeria came this coming Friday night. The weather out in South Africa has come as a shock to some of the travelling fans who were quite surprised how cold it is in South Africa at times, the opening ceremony itself had freezing temperatures of below zero degrees centigrade.
It is currently winter in South Africa and bookies William Hill could be forced to pay out a five figure sum to some canny punters who got in on the idea quite sharpish. Before the tournament started William Hill was dishing out odds of 12/1 for snow to fall any time during the 90 minutes of the England game against Algeria, those odds have now been slashed to just 4/1!
England v Algeria Snow Specials
- 4/1 – Snow to fall during the game.
- 100/1 – The game to be abandoned due to snow
