Finally the World Cup is here. Going to be lots of late nite and snacks. Went to the Singapore Pools @ Paradiz Center after dinner with the intention of watch Argentina vs Nigeria there. Bumped into Weijie and Diana along the way.
Anyway, one muz place a minimum bet of $50 before midnight and $20 after midnight in order to enter ! The requirements put us off as we juz wanted to make some fun bets while watching so that there will be more excitment. There were lots of foreign workers at the betting station too, hoping to make some extra cash.
Nice, cozy TCC was full house, and we head to some pubs @ Princep Street to catch the game. No air con, hot, and lots of people smoking. Forgot to charge my cam means i can only take photos using my iPhone.
All the pubs here are packed as well. Lucky to be able to get a table before the match starts. To my surprise, there is a $5 world cup cover charge per person. What a way to increase revenue! As the location is near Little India, lots of foreign workers were spotted standing by the pavement and watching the game for free.
Potato Wedges and a jug of beer to go with the game ...
Our betting slips
My gal lost her bet. She was quite agitated throughout the game, especially with Messi spurring numerous opportunities. Juz one more goal would have make her a winner as she bet on the total number of goals to be even.As for me, i place my bet on Argentina winning on half time and won !
