Well it's the World Cup, and why not have a little betting game. Here are the rules:
Everyone starts with $100. Every so often I publish a couple of games which are to be played and I give you odds on them (from bet360, although I'll change the numbers to make them simple). You bet at intervals of $5 (minimum $5, maximum $70), i.e. you bet $5, $10, $15 etc on the result of the game. If you win, you get your money back as well as the stake, If you lose, you lose all that you bet. Obviously don't bet on games that have started, so you might miss the early ones. You don't have to bet on all of them. And remember, he who bets big has most to win!
