Paul The Psychic Octopus plumps for Spain

A simple £10 punt, rolled over, on all of Paul's selections would have resulted in a profit of £4,071

"If a punter had placed £10 on Paul the octopus’ opening hunch of Germany beating Australia, then carried over all the funds to the second match against Serbia, then to the third and so on, £4,071 would have been returned on the original £10 stake."

Football fans would have pocketed over £4,000 if they had backed Paul the psychic octopus' World Cup predictions on Betfair.

The English-born mollusc, now residing in the Sea Life Centre of Oberhausen, Germany, has successfully predicted the outcome of every game involving the German national side.

If a punter had placed £10 on Paul the octopus' opening hunch of Germany beating Australia, then carried over all the funds to the second match against Serbia, then to the third and so on, £4,071 would have been returned on the original £10 stake.

Paul is now tipping Spain to triumph over the Netherlands on Sunday night and be crowned World Cup champions. Punters wishing to follow Paul's psychic powers can back Spain to lift the trophy at [1.61]. Opponents Holland are available at [2.62].

Betfair's Andy Lulham said "Paul's predictions have been nothing short of remarkable, he's certainly had more success at this World Cup than anybody in an England shirt."
