Match has already started, so nope!

In the future if you'd like to bet that way and might not be around between matches, just log your second bet as e$All and I'll put whatever you have at match start on the bet.

So day one ends with a couple of draws. Wol wins big on the Uruguay/France draw, walking away with e$105 and taking a commanding lead in the standings after the much more conservative bets from everyone else.

Haven trusted the French with his entire budget, and as a result is now completely broke. Will he be able to strategically use his daily loans to get back in the game?

Day two gives you three opportunities to win (or lose) big, and as we learned today, anything can happen.

Match Two:
e$All on Argentina to win. Not including a loan.

Match Three:
e$25 on England to win. If I have nothing after Match Two then take e$25 as a loan. :)

Korea easily takes Greece 2-0, and no one wins anything. Next match shortly!

I started off with $320 from yesterday....

I then bet 33.3% ( = $106.66) on korea - greece draw, which I lost, which leaves me with $213.33

I then bet 50% ( which now I'm down to £213.33 means a bet of $106.66) on argentina - nigeria draw, which I also lost. To my calculations, this leaves me with $106.66 going into the final match....

....Why am I now down to $27 going into the final match :S

I got both results wrong. Surely that means I only lose what I bet, and nothing more?

Ah, that makes more sense. I thought "going into" as meaning our pre-bet budgets going into the match as you posted a while before the match started/no bets would be taken, not the post-bet budgets just after we got into the match :p

cunningz.
