Never Break The Rules!

I must say I was tempted to put some money Argentina's way yesterday. They have been sublime in their march to the final of the Copa America and the 3-0 scoreline last night was not entirely unexpected.

EXCEPT ARGENTINA ENDED THE MATCH WITH THE 0!

Yes, Brazil out-thought and out-muscled their more talented neighbours. Even without Kaka and Ronaldinho, Brazil looked in control.

Riquelme, Tevez and Messi failed to live up to their reputations.

The result is a reminder to Bookie Beaters - the rules are there to protect. Obey the rules!

Breaking The Rules

A Bookie Beater never breaks his rules.

However, if I were a rule-breaker, I'd be looking long and hard at the Brazil-Argentina Copa America final.

It could get very Messi for Brazil based on current form. They hobbled their way to the final via a penalty shoot out in the semi-final whereas Argentina have stormed their way to the final.

So Riquelme v Ronaldinho; Messi v Robinho?

Gotta be Argentina really. And the bookies agree - just. Argentina are currently quoted at 10/11 to win in normal time. Basically - you can double your money if Argentina click on the night.

Question is - am I a rule breaker? I've got 48 hours to decide!
