So, who did you get in your World Cup sweepstake?

[banjo]

Belgium on the NSC one.

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Iran, but I get money back if they are worst team

Me too, only I don't get my money back

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Argentina.

Quietly confident.

 

[seagulls99]

Nigeria!

 

[acrossthepond]

Scotland - is that bad...?

 

[Paris]

Chile

I reckon they'll get out of their group ahead of Holland, then who knows. They've got some canny players.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Don't know yet but such was the demand at work we have had two sweepstakes.

 

[beorhthelm]

Holland.

we've done something a bit different, top prize obviously for the outright winner, but then 1/3 the pot for each of the team that concedes the most and 1/6 for the highest number of draws. mixes it up a bit for not getting the top 3 or 4 teams.

 

[joker]

As we only had 16 interested people, we all got one seeded team, and one unseeded team.

I got Belgium and Iran.

Same here but I got Portugal and Australia

 

[brakespear]

I got ITALY.

Forza Azzuri

same here

edit: I think I entered an NSC one and got Spain but there's no money on that one so

You're more confident than I am

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

Algeria

There were some spare teams after the initial draw, so I drew another team and got.................

Costa Rica

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Chile

Ok, they're not going to win the cup but they can be such a good team to watch.

Thanks to the genius of their former manager (Marcelo Bielsa) they transformed from no-ones into arguably the third best South American team, playing a high pressure game focused on quick attacking...if it wasn't for actually being English I'd probably be supporting them.

 

[marshy68]

Bosnia... already spent the cash i am sure to trouser.

 

[Mannie]

Belgium. . Good bet for the semis

Same here - happy with that - underestimated team

 

[7:18]

Switzerland for me...

 

[Brian Fantana]

I'm about to conduct the draw for our office sweepstake now. The whole place (or should that be plaice) is on TENTERHOOKS.

 

[shaunslats]

got Argentina, and with prizes down to 3rd place im feeling confident

 

[spongy]

I have no idea

We're doing one up the pub, we each paid £10 for an envelope with a team in, wrote our name on the envelope and they're all in the pot in the safe.

The winner gets revealed on the final whistle of the final.

£250 first prize up for grabs so worth a punt.

 

[Janbha]

Spain and Ivory Coast paired

On a points scoring system quite happy with that
