I didn't recognise it, but it says "Costa" on there, and I looked up who you drew

Kudos for bothering to look.

Why did I get the one country I didn't want?

Shows OK on mine, our badge with the Costa Rica badge combined.

On this machine though Glenda and Gazza are back to their normal avatars. I'm guessing it's all local storage/cache and brick like that (technical term).

Yeah, I’m Glenn on my laptop and Nigeria on iPad/phone.
That will have to do.

I can see it in the post that was deleted, but not this one. Might need Scara to clear some cache or something. Or maybe it's my cache that's the problem.

I can't seem to upload my new avatar, not sure if I'm doing right .....................or if there's a filter blocking the picture of my DIY Brazilian

Brunette girl tells her mate that she's slept with a Brazilian.
"OMG!" says the blonde girl, "how many is that?"

So, placed my first bet now

Placed 20 on final score 2-1, which will give 180 in return, which would be 1/8 in fractional odds i believe.

Obviously assuming bets have to land to form part of your total, I’ve gone for a couple of safer ones to start with:

Mexico group points 3-4 at 23/20 - CHF 10 stake
Stage of elimination: last 16 @ 2/1 - CHF 10 stake

About £7.60 each bet.

How much are you putting on each bet? Your final score will be total winnings divided by total outlay.

I think you've got it the wrong way round, 1/8 would be bet $8 to get $9 (8+1) back?

This is why I don't use fractional odds either.

Depends on the chf/gbp exchange rate, will decide nearer the time which rate !

You could just give us the CHF values, it's the percentage that wins rather than total values. (What's CHF btw, Swiss francs?)

Yep Swiss francs, I gave the chf values in the post (chf 10 stake)

 

[Seedy Ron]

Oops, my bad.

Got a totally different mental image of you now Gazza

 

[Aldo]

Markysimmo needs a pass here.
Suggest he just states the bets he wants rather than actually placing them. Or is even that too risky?

Will look at my bets over the next couple of days. Can't see them winning, but hey they'd be used to that.
