World Cup top scorer - talk me out of this bet
I am thinking of backing Pauleta of Portugal to be the top scorer at 29-1.
Portugal play Angola and Iran in their first two games. Hopefully he will get a hatful, and I can hedge it by laying him at a much cheaper price on betfair. Thoughts? Who are you backing for top scorer? |

Is he Portugal's nominated penalty taker? I think that has to be considered when betting on highest scorer. Lampard at 70-1 looks very good (top english goalscorer in qualifiying and according to a BBC story I read will still be taking the penalties despite his miss last week) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Humm nice Bets.
I would add Shevchenko too. Ucraine will play against Tunis and Saudi Arabia and Spain is not that good team Ronaldo is overvaluated. |

Re: World Cup top scorer - talk me out of this bet
Come on mate, have you seen him play? Do you really think he is that good? Is odds are that high because it is unlikely he will be top goal scorer. Don't do it!!!
Teams to watch are Holland and Italy. Van Nistleroy has found his touch again in the recent friendlys. Italy usually have one goal scorer who score most of the teams goals Scap in '90, Vieri, Bagio etc. this year Toni is one to watch as he was the top scorer in serie A. Though Italy brought about 5 strikers with them and they are all quite good. Adriano will probably be Brazil's top goal scorer, now that Ronaldo has picked up a slight knock and is fat/lazy. Schevchenko isn't a bad bet Ukraine did really well in the qualifers and have a decent chance of winning their group. Ibrhamovich for sweden might be a decent outside bet. He links well with Larsson and the Swedes score goals. Though they havent played well in recent friendlies. I think Henry is a poor bet as is any England player. If your thoughts are still with Pauletta - i think Borgetti will score more goals than him!!! Pauletta sucks i hope i have changed your mind. |

Re: World Cup top scorer - talk me out of this bet
To win he will need 7/8+ goals, perfectly possibleI suppose but the total goals line for all of Portugal is 7.1-7.7 goals.
If he has a chance the better value bet is probably Portugals total goals. (I just can't have another bet on lots of goals!) |
