Big hit- N1000 on argentina vs switzerland i bet on no score in both halve i had to pu t a high stake on this one

@amelia what do you mean by failed defending side

Depends whether you are on the scoring side or the failed defending

But a goal increases the score either way - a goal is a goal - Jupiter.

The number of goals is important. I considered examining whether the fortunes offered a wealth of goals in contrast to poverty from the infortunes. In different fashions; whether by radicality or aspect. And angularity appeared to provide instant results, while cadency pushed the action into the deep of the match.

Football is football. It ain't rational. And when it comes to balancing the chart there is a multiple of variations.

Just posting an update on my forecasts for Round 2 (Page 12 of the original World Cup thread)

All teams selected to progress was successful (100%)

Regarding the end of 90 minutes results, the forecast for the three favourites (Brazil, Argentina and Germany) all being held to a draw and progressing in extra time/penalties was also correct.

The two results that didn?t conclude at 90 minutes ? Costa Rica and Belgium, I am content enough with.

A few slight modifications from the approach taken at the first round stage seems to have put be back on track.

Nice one John

Sounds like the beers are on you then!

Wow! Consistent predictive success like this in astrology is rare in my experience. Your clearly on to something. Or your having an incredible run of Paul the Octopus type luck!

I am interested in learning more about your methodology. Hopefully you will share more with us when the flurry of the Tournament is over.

PS I really liked your explanation of the basic predictive methods out there. Very handy for a non-regular here like myself.

Great John, and I am glad on your behalf - but it feels as if the methodology should have been shared with the forum on the way, or else we will be accused to have a selective memory - sharing only news of the winnings and successes, but forgetting the downturns and errors while getting there.

Have you got anything that we all can use and check on further out through the tournement, now that we already have got this far? I also wonder whether your strategy was to bet on the result after full time 90 minutes, or whether your prediction was who would advance after extended play and penalties was settled?

Hi John,

I have to agree with Andrew. I've check your post on page 12 of the previous thread, but I cannot infer almost nothing from your post there, in the astrological sense that is, although you really said this: "I realise I've identified the teams that are the favourites to possibly stutter at this stage". However, I cannot really 100% understand how you came to that conclusion. Are last degrees and early degrees problematic, moon besieged, etc.?

Are you using the method which "confirms" the Favorite by radicality? In that way, you say that the chart on Argentina vs Switzerland is not radical, although I think Argentina was the favorite and won.

Hope you don't think I'm being picky, I just want to "taste" those 100% myself too..

-Yeah, we are all curious and extremely jealous!

It's the Quarter Finals - just 8 games left.

Instead of this tread being a random collection of theories, how about a new thread for each game? In that way, we will able to see and discuss any theory that might prove accurate for that particular game. The result of which is that maybe something will reveal it's self in the course of this research.Otherwise, this world cup thread will prove to be a waste of time because each person interprets a horoscope in accordance to their own culture/belief/skill etc etc?.
