If you can convert it then yes but the old style odds are easier to work out.

If that comes off you only stand to collect £1,250
There is more money to win [or lose] on individual games so if somebody gets a correct result plus first goal scorer they can rack up more than £1,250 in one hit.

Angola 2-0 up so far.

Will my winnings be paid in cash or will it be transferred into my bank account?

What happened in the opening game was fucking UNBELIEVABLE!

Angola was 4-0 against Mali up until 80th minute win Keita scored Mali's first.
Kanoute scored 88th, Keita 89th, another bloke 90th and 4-4!!!

I remember exact scenario happened twice in another international tournaments last few years.

So three of you have done your dough already but we'll call that the wooden spoon round and let you back in.
4-0 up with 11 minutes to go i would have thought that would have been runaway leaders.
Round 2 is Ivory Coast v Burkina Faso. Prices are here

Place your bets and dont put all your eggs in one basket.

Just checking does that mean that Burkino Faso have a virtual 2 goal head start and Ivory coast have to win by 3 clear goals?

What were the odds on a draw with 11 minutes left, or can't you bet after kickoff with WH?

Real life betting you can gamble right up to the final whistle with bookies and they would probably have offered 1000/1 for that to happen. This is only virtual bookies so the book closes on first whistle.
