When was the last time you last cared about someone besides yourself?

I like this phrase from the movie "Cars". I'm not gonna spoil it for you people who haven't watch it though.

Come to think of it, is the reason why I care about my friends because I don't want them to affect myself? Or is it because I really am concerned about them?

Anyway, my advice? Go watch it. It's worth your $9.50. Or is it $8.50?

And it's the start of the World Cup 2006! It's now half time between Germany and Costa Rica, and it's already 2-1. Not a bad start after all. Hope that this year the World Cup will be exciting hehe. It just seems like 1 week ago or 1 month ago that the previous World Cup ended. I can still remember clearly how South Korea won Italy, or how Ronaldinho's freak freekick ended up in the back of England's net.

This year's World Cup, I only think of two teams who are capable of winning it, and SHOULD win it. Brazil, and England. Why? Because of Ronaldinho and Rooney. These 2 are the players who can change the game. I just think that if England do not be over confident, they should be able to win Brazil, with some luck of course. They better pray that Ronaldinho have an off day, or a stomachache that day. That is if they meet of course.

Let's enjoy this World Cup!

Anyway, thanks to Dear, I'll put up a tutorial on the betting terminology, for those who do not understand.

Example 1: A vs B (A -1/2) i.e. B -1/2
Scenario 1: A wins by 1 or more, A -1/2 wins full amount
Scenario 2: A draws with B, B +1/2 wins full amount
Scenario 3: B wins by 1 or more, B +1/2 wins full amount

Example 2: A vs B (A -3/4) i.e. A -1/2 and -1
Scenario 1: A wins by 1, A -3/4 wins 1/2 the amount, and B +3/4 loses 1/2 the amount (Reason being that we win the -1/2 ball, and we draw for the -1 ball. Therefore we either win or lose 1/2 of the amount)
Scenario 2: A wins by 2 or more, A -3/4 wins full amount
Scenario 3: A draws with B, B +3/4 wins full amount
Scenario 4: B wins by 1 or more, B +3/4 wins full amount

Example 3: A vs B (A -1) i.e. B +1
Scenario 1: A wins by 1, nobody wins anything.
Scenario 2: A wins by 2 or more, A -1 wins full amount
Scenario 3: A draws with B, B +1 wins full amount
Scenario 4: B wins by 1 or more, B +1 wins full amount
