ALL WAGERS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Viva la Syndicate Members ; ) ; )
A QUICK REVIEW OF THE RULES:
Time to go over the model. READ CAREFULLY as we’re
technically reverting to an old system. I brought back the operating principles
that we used back in 2006 when composing lines for the African Cup of Nations.
The “Tie-Wash” system may make matters less interesting for your bookie, but it
lightens his workload ; ) Here’s
your example.
Japan vs. Australia
vs. 
The Line: Japan +3 goals
The Favorite, Japan, is favored to win by 3 goals. If you
bet on Australia, there are three ways you can win the bet:
1) Australia loses by less than 3 goals.
2) Match is a draw
3) Australia wins
Conversely, there is only one way to win if you bet on
Japan
1) Japan wins by more than 3 goals
Should Japan win by precisely 3 goals, THE BET IS A WASH.
THE BET IS A TIE. NO ONE OWES ANYONE ANYTHING
A PRECISE LINE COUNTS AS A DRAW
Alles Klar? Let’s roll
Friday
Australia vs. Kuwait
vs. 
The Socceroos will come up big in Melbourne’s “Rectangular
Stadium”. Watch Cahill grab a brace.
THE
LINE: Australia +3 Goals
Saturday
South Korea vs. Oman
vs. 
A High Line for you enthusiasts out there. Good luck.
THE
LINE: South Korea +3 Goals
Uzbekistan vs. Korea DPR
vs. 
Not as hard to predict as you might think. Two flaccid
countries, with one projected to win.
THE
LINE: Korea DPR +2 Goals
China PR vs. Saudi Arabia
vs. 
Thanks to the many Syndicate Members who pointed out that this line was a casualty of my overzealous cat hoping on the keyboard ten minutes before the deadline ; ) Wagers were tendered and accepted.
THE LINE: China PR +1 Goal
Sunday
vs. Thanks to the many Syndicate Members who pointed out that this line was a casualty of my overzealous cat hoping on the keyboard ten minutes before the deadline ; ) Wagers were tendered and accepted.

Sunday
U.A.E. vs. Qatar

A tight match beckons. We’ll go with Zayed’s sons for now.
THE
LINE: U.A.E. + 1 Goal
Iran vs. Bahrain

As much as the Persians may hope, Bahrain will never again
be part of Iran. Take solace in a stomp.
THE
LINE: Iran + 3 Goals
Monday
Japan vs. Palestine
vs. 
Riiight. No. No, no, and no. Abandon all hope. Consign your
dreams to the rubbish pile. This won’t be pretty.
THE
LINE: Japan + 5 Goals
Jordan vs. Iraq
vs. 
Looking forward to the Jordan vs. Palestine match. Time to
exact revenge. For now we’ve got ourselves a classic boring squeaker.
THE
LINE: Iraq + 1 Goal
GENTLEMEN,
ENTER YOUR WAGERS.
