World Cup
There is currently 1 person viewing this thread.
best price on this is 33/1
although there are loads of contenders for this award, he does seem a decent price in a team sure to catch the eye.
other players at a best price of 33/1 are Fabiano, Van Persie, Robinho and Iniesta so I suppose you make a case for them equally too.
but with all the hype about Sneijder he seems value, anyone else think this is worth a bet ?

Xavi best price 16s |

I think Sneijder is great value - I've backed him at 40-1 at WillHill, my bet of the tournament (price still availble). I think they are going to regret offering this price.
I supect there are realistically only max. 16 players who can win this award and I'd make him one of the leading contenders. |

Xavi 16-1 Kaka 16-1 Snjieder 33-1 All 3 are there teams playmakers and pull the strings, im hopeful i ll get a run for my money. |

don't know how he was voted MOM tonight but can't do any harm
|

good stuff m8... i think shweinsticher or how ever you spell it might get it thou if they win tourny
|
|
By:
I think they actually decide it before the final oddly enough though
|

By:
As you can imagine, I'm taking quite an interest in this :)
The rules says 'The adidas Golden Ball will go to the competition’s best player. FIFA will announce a shortlist on 9 July. Thereafter, members of the media can vote for the winner until the end of the Final through the FIFA Media Channel.' http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/awards/index.html I suspect that most will vote before the final as they proabably will want to be concentrating on the match itself during the final. However, as you can see, they will be able to vote until the end of the final. |

Think it deserves to go to a German myself - Schweinsteiger, Ozil or Muller. But I stuck a few quid on Sneijder @ 40/1 before a ball was kicked so hopefully the good "members of the media" can do me a favour
|

By:
In fact, christrinder, it was after seeing your post re the price Hills were offering that I paid them a visit ... so if it comes up, I owe you one!
|
|
By:
You have a good chance with Wesley.
one of : Muller Klose Villa Forlan Sneijder Sergio Ramos & Lahm for me. |
|
By:
And Schweinsteiger
Oops. |

By:
I backed Messi & Gerrard for this, so I'm obviously a neutral now...
I think you're weighed in on Sneijder. The final won't have a bearing on the result of this, as the votes will be in before. Zidane was 1.25 to win it during the final, assaulted a fellow professional, causing a drift to 12s, but still won it because of votes already cast in 2006... |
|
By:
Who votes?
|
|
By:
ozul has been brilliant
|
|
By:
I've backed ozil @ 150/1 if he puts in a performance tonight and germany go through he'll have an outstanding chance
|
|
By:
Great shout.
Unfortunately the fact voting goes to the end will probably see the winning team's star player be the answer, which will probably be Villa. But think its a 2 horse race between WS and Villa now. |
|
By:
Are you sure about that CCM - Zidane got it LTO because the award was voted on before the final
|
|
By:
Who votes and until when. Seems lots of us have bet on this but nobody knows how it will be decided. is it a panel of bookmakers?
|
|
By:
Sorry just seen Crist's comments
|

By:
my dad put this bet on for me at billyhills, it was supposed to be Sneider @ 40's to win golden boot, he wrote snieder world cup 40-1, i got the slip back as 100-1. £5 each way obviously it's been changed to Golden Boot - not sure if I should be happy?
|
|
By:
sorry I mean golden ball @ 40's

Wonder if Bet365 know something the rest of us don't. They're currently showing 9/4 on Iniesta & 7/2 on Villa - everywhere else is 9s or 10s on Iniesta, and 13/8 on Villa
|
|
By:
I've taken 2/1 Wesley & 7/2 Villa
2 horse race |
|
By:
^
seems like a good 8/11 Bet tbh Only an early goal from Robben could threaten that i'd say. |
|
By:
As nedned has pointed out, Bet365 very strange Iniesta 9/4 & Villa 7/2.
Both Iniesta & Xavi have had two FIFA MOM & Villa 1. Schneider has 4. Previous winners (1-2-3) are: 1986 Mexico Diego Maradona Harald Schumacher Preben Elkjær 1990 Italy Salvatore Schillaci Lothar Matthäus Diego Maradona 1994 USA Romário Roberto Baggio Hristo Stoichkov 1998 France Ronaldo Davor Šuker Lilian Thuram 2002 Kor/Japan Oliver Kahn Ronaldo Hong Myung-Bo 2006 Germany Zinedine Zidane Fabio Cannavaro Andrea Pirlo Great tip from the OP, but I'm gonna have a nibble on Villa. |

1982 Spain Paulo Rossi Falcão Karl-Heinz Rummenigge

By:
365 are mugs, iniesta has no chance. agree its a 2 dog race, villa or sneider. unless something odd happens in the final like a keeper saving 3 penalties.
|
|
By:
the final is irrelevant
|
|
By:
I reckon someone is getting a bollocking over at Bet365 this evening. Obviously realised their mistake and have gone 7/4 Villa & 13/2 Iniesta similar to everyone else
|
|
By:
have backed sneijder at 40/1 and villa at 14/1, as you cant lay off on here does anybody think i should have some covering bets,thinking of backing xavi any others?
|
|
By:
Xavi must be in with a chance i would think,and a good final with Spain winning would see him go very close imo
|
|
By:
No others imo
|

By:
When the top 10 list is released tomorrow, I'm hoping there will be a Betfair market. Anyone know? Looks like there was one last World Cup.
|
|
By:
Can't find it if there is one.
Seems to be plenty of interest so odd imo. |

By:
GYAN / FORLAN WORTH A DABBLE ? THERE IS LITTLE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SELECTION ANYONE COULD WIN IT
FINGERS COULD WELL GET BURNT ON THIS ONE |
|
By:
COULD THE GOLDEN BOOT WINNER ALSO WIN THE GOLDEN BALL?
