That last one already won didn't it? Ukraine beat Libya this week if I remember correctly.

Actually looking at my Gamebookers account I already took one of these crazy World Cup bets because I was bored around a month ago with no football:

BRAZIL(1.45) v Croatia
ITALY(1.55) v Ghana
Angola v PORTUGAL(1.40)
ARGENTINA(1.50) v Ivory Coast
ENGLAND(1.65) v Paraguay
GERMANY(1.30) v Costa Rica
Trinidad & Tobago v SWEDEN(1.25)
MEXICO(1.50) v Iran

8-fold: £10.00 @ 18.98

Looking at it now I think Italy, England and Argentina are the biggest worries and those prices are nowhere near value for those winning.

Actually, I'll have another one in this thread I'll document now that all the matches are out.
