ok, so pokerroom has a new reload. its 20% up to $100, but you also pick a soccer team. if your World Cup team lasts the longest, you get an additional bonus. but teams are handicapped as well, so you can't just pick Brazil.

Here's the list:
Brasil 10%
Germany 20%
England 20%
Italy 20%
Argentina 25%
France 25%
Mexico 50%
Sweden 50%
USA 100%
Australia 100%

Argentina look a good bet.

Listen not for nothing but Brazil at 10% is a little thin, but Germany at 20% does look really good... England at 20% would not be a bad bet either if Baby James is in Goal

Argentina at 25% looks great. And Germany at 20% is nice, but after their preformance, might not be a good idea.

Brazil at 10% is aweful. Argentina looks the best at 25.

argentina or italy

thanks guys. it says actually you can deposit until June 24th. Won't the tournament be pretty much over by then? Seems like it might be pretty easy to pick a "last-longer" team if I can wait another 2 weeks.

How many teams will be left on June 23rd?

update:

i have to pick today, and the odds are the same. based on the brackets, who's a good bet?

I'm thinking Germany or Argentina.

I think Argentina is the best money there now.

Argentina.

I was kind of rooting for Germany, but there seems to be a consensus so I'll go with Argentina.

thanks gents.
