Octopus Predicts World Cup Outcome

Octopus Predicts World Cup Outcome? You Bet he Does!

One of the most amazing side stories seen in this year’s World Cup is the tale of Paul the Octopus who resides in a German aquarium. Paul has correctly predicted the outcome of every single one of the games where Germany took part, even the final 3-2 match against Uruguay which awarded Germany third place in the tournament.

Paul is provided with the flags of the two competing teams in separate boxes in his tank, and whichever team he chooses has correctly gone on to win its match.

There are high hopes that Paul will be able to predict the outcome of other matches in other sports in the future and make a huge contribution to the world of sports betting.

Whoever named an Octopus, Paul, probably isn't fit to care for one anyway but we like an odd bet or two at Doolallys so betting on an Octopus' choices seems a fairly normal thing to do and should Paul still be around in 2014, then we might manage a tenner on his choices!
