How do decimals work mate?

I could ask the same about fractions
The decimal price is what you'd get back if you put a quid on. So 3.50 means 2.50 profit.

The World Cup is boring. When Elano is looking half decent you know the quality isn't great.

Anyone who has put money on Brazil to win the World Cup has chucked their money away, not a chance.

B0ll0cks, there's arguably only Spain a better team. Brazil do actually have a solid defence and one of the best goalkeepers in the world but you judge them on one performance, did you see Brazil in qualifying?

We'll see come mid July then. They won last night, that's all that matters - More than can be said for Italy, France, England and Portugal. I'm still more than happy to have my money on Brazil with the team they have.

Elano didn't look half decent and to be honest it doesn't really reflect the World Cup when he has only played against North Korea.

Ok, but it's still been a boring world cup so far. More excitement in a one sided spanking of rugby league this morning than 5 days of world cup football.

USA are ranked 14th in the world.

Paraguay are ranked 31st.

Take into account USA's recent results as well. They were the lst team to beat spain, beat argentina and pushed Brazil all the way.

Paraguay are better than the USA. Paraguay finished level 2nd in qualifying only a point behind Brazil - beating both Brazil and Argentina along the way, USA have a poor squad of players, don't let results in a mickey mouse tournament like the confederations cup delude you.

Chile have looked very good in the first half, OK they are only playing Honduras but they've played some neat stuff and looked threatening going forward.

I think generally the South American teams have underachieved in the last few World Cup's - maybe that might change this time?
