Crystal Ball.Com Rules

As most of you are aware , I work for a Bookmaker. It is a very interesting job which provides me with large doses of entertainment served up with a side Hilarity Salad.
Just recently (please don't read any more of this if you are bored) there have been some interesting UEFA cup games being played involving Greek Teams. Now I know (because I have been reliably informed by my Bubble mate Georgos) that the Greek Football league is almost as corrupt as Serie B (Italian 2nd Division). For those who are aware of the made up ( Ha Ha I get it. Made up ... thats Mafia talk) Italian 2nd Division , and the disgraceful acts of match fixing which go on, you will be surprised that any other league could even come close to levels of corruption in Italy. However, apparently the Greeks are beginning to make a real challenge for the title of Dirtiest, Dodgiest match fixing cheats. Now I appreciate that not all Greeks and Italians condone this sort of behaviour. Quite the opposite. Most of these nationals would like to see our beautiful game rid of such underhand antics. Unfortunately, these scenarios have once again reared their ugly heads in the past week. The first was an extremely dodgy game between Panionios (Greek) and Dinamo Tblisi (Georgia). This is where it might get complicated for those who don't understand gambling and or football.
As I was saying, Crystalball.com predicted Halftime Tblisi Full time Panionios (About 28/1) and correct scores of 3-2 (33/1) and 4-2 (50/1) Panionios. The first part was a winner but Panionios actually won the game 5-2 so unfortunately the correct scores were wrong. Tough Luck.
Tonight the game between Lazio (not known for their corruption) and Egaleo (what do you know, they're Greek too) is once again tipped up by Crystalball.com. as Half time Egaleo Full time Lazio (28/1) and correct scores of Lazio 3-0 (20/1) and Lazio 4-1 (40-1). This game is being played later. I can't wait to see if Crystalball.com has got it right again. Good Luck to all those of you who are bent enough to have a crack yourselves. I am taking a moral stand. Ok , so I couldn't get on. WANK
Oh and by the way, UEFA have just anounced that they are looking into allegations of match fixing in the Panionios game. Who would have thought it
