Hey, welcome along! If you are reading this article and you haven't already seen the post about my World Cup Prediction Contest then I advise you to head over there right now. Promise me you'll come straight back after though!
This post is where you can find information about the GRAND PRIZE mentioned in the post above... Just to make sure let's recap. I have given my friend (an anonymous Steemian of ill-repute) £50 and asked him to gamble with it for the duration of the World Cup. Any money in the pot at the end of the tournament forms the Grand Prize in my contest!

Unfortunately, my friend appears to have had some kind of terrible fever dream while making his predictions for the first set of group games. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that one or two of his outlandish predictions manages to come good.
Below you will find the progress round by round, listed bet by bet. I will continue to update this post as we move through the rounds of the tournament! Don't forget to tell your friends about this competition because, you know, the more the merrier!
Wish me luck as wave me goodbye... Predictions for the first set of group games... WTF?
Finally, if you haven't already done so why not head over to my blog and check out some of my very own World Cup Memories:
