A 2-year-old octopus in Berlin has systematically selected the champions of all 5 of Germany’s World Cup wins, as well as their 2 defeats in online game betting. And a few days before the final, he selected Spain to win this year’s World Cup.



He was right again. With a final score of 1-0, Spain defeated the Netherlands.

Congrats to Netherlands on being the first team to proceed to the World Cup gambling final. The Netherlands side has played some incredible football this year and has secured no worse than a second-place finish in this year’s World Cup odds competition at the sportsbook. They won every competition they had competed in, save this 1 – arguably the most significant. The Netherlands hadn’t seen anything like the Spanish defense in the World Cup odds competition although they had played some difficult squads and some difficult defenses in the World Cup gambling battles.

There were plenty of ‘good’ defenses in this year’s World Cup gambling action but aside from Spain, they were all removed. That’s due to the fact Spain balanced its tough defense with strong offense and could just be the most balanced side in this year’s World Cup odds competition.

However, just like it is the Dutch’s offense that has brought it to this final match of the World Cup gambling, it is the defense that shines through. While The Netherlands had a prospect (13/8) to win the World Cup gambling final, it would’ve needed to be at its very greatest and play nearly flawless football if it wants to crack the Spanish defense. And that, needless to say, was most likely asking a little bit too much of a team who has never before won the World Cup.

This team started the 2010 World Cup odds as anything but a fave in the soccer gambling odds competition, although soccer gambling devotees in the know liked this team as a dark horse ever since it arrived in South Africa. European squads such as England and Spain and South American titans Brazil and Argentina were the faves in the World Cup gambling, not the Netherlands.

But all of those squads had been sent home aside from their World Cup finals opponent Spain. The Netherlands continued to be ready to win the first World Cup gambling title in the country’s history, or so they hoped. Both times the team qualified before, it was eliminated by the host nation in a little of unfortunate circumstances. That happened 2 times in 1974 and 1978.

The Netherlands had a team skilled with a few of the top forwards on earth. But Spain had a team with a few of the top defense on the planet, as well as a pretty strong offense. In the end, the Netherlands basically were not able to crack their defense and score.

No team that lost their opening match has ever gone on to win the World Cup. Spain had not lost since they first lost 1-0 to Switzerland in their opening competition. So in addition to winning the first World Cup in their country’s history, Spain has become the first country to win the World Cup after losing their first competition.
