We have written a few stories about this World Cup Million Mania that Titan Bet are offering their punters this summer.  If you haven't heard about it I am guessing you have been living under a rock for the past two weeks.  Titan Bet are giving you the chance to win $100 million from guessing the win, lose or draw on all 64, 2010 World Cup Games in South Africa.  The closing date to enter this is on Thursday.  Poker-Shark have had a go and we want to spread the wealth and talk about how we came to our, hopefully, winning conclusion.....

When you are placing predictions on sporting events the first thing you need to do is leave your emotion and passion in the next room because these things will not help you here.  We need the rational brain and as much as I would walk into battle with three lions on my chest that bullish mentality does not lend itself to the calcualted thought needed in predicting outcomes to football games.  So we signed up to Titan Bet the same way everyone else does.  We got a 100% bonus up to $250 and began looking at the group stages.  This is the hardest part.  So after sitting around and scratching our chins, drinking tea, making the odd witty comment and ultimately deciding that this was more tricky than it first looked, Jo Jo came up with the idea of working backwards.  A Eureeka moment in Shark Towers.  Who was likely to win this tournament............Brazil or Spain was our guess.  We then looked at the probable games they would have had to play to get to the final.  As much as we wanted England to win we were united in it probably wasn't worth risking $100 million on them so we saw them lose to Brazil in the Semi's and saw them face Germany in the 3rd / 4th playoff game.  Another big game we foresaw was a Spain/Portugal.  To make our plan work Spain needed to win it.  I would imagine it being one of those that could go to penaulties so bring a change of underwear when watching that fixture (if it takes place).

By following back the games from the final to the group phase and placing who we wanted to play each other in the boxes; when we got to the group phase the decisions were about who was going to finish bottom in each group.  This was more difficult in some groups than others.  The only other tricky situation was calling when a draw occurs.  Regardless of outcome the winner of this Titan Bet World Cup Million Mania Promotion will be the one who can spot a draw on the horizon and assess which team will make their penaulties count.

You only have 48 hours left to be a part of this and it only costs you $1.00 to enter so its great value and really good fun.  You cant get the same banter with your lottery numbers.  Also if no one who enters guesses all the correct outcomes the closest person get $1,000 000!  Titan Bet are going to change someones life forever this summer.
