No they didn't. They said no one would bet on a losing team, so they made the dad bet on Germany, because Germany's a potentially winning team and it'd be more realistic.
ledoublebleargh they actually bet on Germany because they have a solid team, but by far weren't the favorites, there had been no country that has won a World Cup hosted in South America outside of South America at that time and they only other countries to win a World Cup outside their continent was Brazil four times, twice in North America, once in Europe and once in Asia (the only one in Asia) Argentina once in North America and Spain once in Africa
There’s a Singapore anti gambling ads Basically the content is about bunch of kids talking about football teams and one of them says that he wish Germany will win because his father used all of the money to bet on Germany. Turns out that year the worlds cup champion is Germany and some people actually bet on Germany because of that ads and win money and the kid dad become gamble gods in a sudden 😂
Well Dear National Council on Problem Gambling of Singapore, we Germans probably won´t win each and every World or European Cup but calling a football nation which has become 3 times European, 4 time World Champion and had numerous semi final appearances "a potentally losing team" is just ridiculous!! If it was on Rugby, Cricket or Curling you are right, but not football. Do your homework and start a new campaign!!
