http://m.askmen.com/sports/fanatic_300/334_penalty-shootouts-how-to-win.html


Some interesting stuff here - and especially, I think, this bit

Individual habits are only a secondary matter, though. The key moment in any shootout occurs before it even starts. The referee tosses a coin, and the captain who calls correctly gets to decide whether his team takes the first kick. Always kick first, says Palacios-Huerta. The team taking the first penalty wins 60% of shootouts. That’s because the team going second shoots under great pressure. They keep having to score just to stay in the game. I was in the Pretoria stadium for Japan-Paraguay, and the moment Paraguay’s captain, Justo Villar, won the toss and chose to start, I logged onto a bookmaker’s website and tried to put money on Paraguay winning. The bookmaker refused me because of my location; it wasn’t taking bets placed in South Africa. Paraguay won the shootout.

It's more about the winning than the winnings

probs a legality issue instead of any underhandedness in regards to seeing the action early. Can't believe market wasn't suspended for the toss either, esp as bookmakers will have these stats too
