12 March - FA Cup

The bet: West Ham £5 @ 9/1

Placed By: P

Info:

9/1? When they're already in the quarter-finals? Against a woeful Manchester United side? Surely that's value.

It wasn't. The Hammers lost the quarter-final replay.

12 June - World Cup

The Bets

£5 Fred @22/1 for top scorer
£2.50 e/w France @ 16/1 to win

Placed by: P

Information

Fred's contribution in the first game was to dive outrageously for a Brazil penalty. This bet already looks lost.

That dive was more than he managed in the game against Mexico where he wandered around, got caught offside several times and was subbed after 67 minutes.

France started with a comfortable 3-0 win over Honduras and followed that up with an even more impressive 5-2 victory against Switzerland.
