Top goalscorer in world cup on betfair

[Hairydude]

There really are some great outsider prices on betfair for world cup top goalscorer,

most notably Didier Drogba for 120 to 1 and Brian Mcbride for 270 to 1 each well worth a tenner bet- all it takes is one of these guys to score a hatrick in a game and hope they can progress through the group and they will be in with a chance,

I mean can anyone tell me the top scorer at the world cup in 1994?? it was a guy called Oleg salenko- we signed him for rangers and he was pure peesh!!! but he scored 5 goals in one game for russia and won top scorer something like this is all u need to hope for

Ill also be backing my man Dado Prso who i thinks also worth backing at 270 to 1

ill prob hedge my bets with £20 bets on Luca toni, Ronaldo(or adriano havent decided) and shevchenko and a tenner on Lampard and Gerrard but obviously hoping one of my big bets to come up

Henry also has a great chance with France having arguably the easiest group so another tenner on him at 16.5

Har har ha!!!!!!!

I'll give you 1000/1 mate

[Hairydude]

almost as laughable as you backing larsson as an outsider 

Ill take you up on your offer for a £100??

"That'll be the keys to your house Mr Cahill"

[GlasgowBandit]

Deal. 

Easiest £100 I ever stand to make.

I'll even have a wee side bet on with you £50 says Larrson gets more goals that Persil

[lazaroonie]

oh dear,

this could be very expensive. And in front of so many witnesses too...


FWIW I believe that any main striker from the top two tiers of countries has a chance of being top scorer, for the reasons Stuart has given, ie - it only takes one game against poor opposition to score a barraload.

My worry for Prso is, since he came back from injury at the turn of the year , he looks to have gained a fair bit of weight, which while it may not bother him in the SPL, could be more costly against better opposition.

And where do u think u'll manage to come up with £100,000 gary?? 

seriously tho if you want to shake on the Larsson bet next time I see you in CinCins its a deal- but only for £20 cuz you well have the upper hand in that Larssons a better player and Sweden face Trinidiad and tobago and he could easily get a hatrick in that game, but Prso's Magic so if ur up for it ill bet,

In the event of both tying we play a NL holdem headsup shootout in cincinnatis for the £20 and bragging rights- deal??

I'll give you Persil with the benefit of a dead heat going your way!  I can't be fairer.

Done- ill take that how much u wanting in for £20 or £50?? or anywhere in between and in the event of a tie or Prso scoring more than larsson I take the lot??

£50 only condition I have is that both are named in the final squad and that they must play a minimum of 90 minutes.

[Hairydude]

agreed- need to be in final squad and play 90 minutes overall or over- doesnt need to be a full game but if they play twice 45 minutes three times 30 minutes etc that counts

Its a done deal then looking forward to that £50 

if The player plays 90 minutes and doesnt score in 1st game then gets an injury in training or something the bet still stands- thats just your donald duck!!
