Thanks Van, it's been a pleasure reading your analysis for the last month and you've been great answering all the questions that came your way.
Very happy to hear that you're giving some consideration to the requests you've received to continue posting in the Soccer forum.
Good luck on the next few games and great job over the last month!

i know you dont want to say how much you bet and i noticed the other day you moved the line at pinny
i was wondering if you can give me a ballpark figure as to how much it takes to move the line at pinny
i use this for my other bets
also i wasnted to say that in your writeup on the germany game you said they looked beatable against ghana and bad against serbia but lets not forget they didnt have klose in those 2 and i really think he changes the game a whole lot for them
again thank you sir

As others have said, it would be nice to have someone around here that likes "soccer" as much around these parts. I do understand you put in a lot of time in other forums. Glad you at least came around during the great run of the WC.

Thanks - Just hard to go under with a team as efficient as Germany has been - and the fact that in these knockout games its hard to see a 1-0 game....
GL though and thanks again.

At least that's what we are getting shown on norwegian tv.
Brazil and Rio de Janeiro on the other hand seems to me like a far more harsh place. And I saw how the brazilian players were greeted after coming home from africa. People were attacking the bus and all hell broke loose.
I would be more weary of going to Brazil than Africa, even though I want to experience my first ever world cup myself and as soon as possible - Brazil doesn't seem like a safe place to go to.
Would like to hear your opinion on that.

My family will be 4 years older in 2014, and Brazil wont be as much of a problem for me.

It depends on the sport and the event and how long before gametime it is.
For WC games, 10K moved it about 5 cents unless it was the day of the game, and then it moved a little bit less. It moved a little bit more for earlier round games. For football and other sports it is different, and also depends on who you are and your profile with them.

He could do it - but he has been best when he has been a playmaker. I just dont see them winning today - and I think he would have to get a few today to even put you in the running - so Im not so sure....
