Eight picks, eight correct, eight tentacles. Paul the Oracle Octopus is clearly the biggest winner of the World Cup after recording a perfect prognostication record whether he knows it or not.

Since Paul is an international celebrity of the highest order now, everyone wants a piece of him - both literally and figuratively. Italy is trying to claim that he was caught in Italian waters, Spanish businessmen are trying to buy him for €30,000 ($38,000), and Dutch priests tried to dismiss him.

Let me analyse the probability of the winning rate.
8 picks, 8 wins.
0.5 To The Power Of 8(Wins) = 1/256
Amazing? A octopus can simply make a wild guess and strike in consecutive 8 times in a row. If he can live till next World Cup, I believed Singapore Pools will definitely close down as soon as possible.

At first, this octopus never really let me believe him so much till the match Germany versus Spain that let me see through his physics power. That's all I have to say for today.

Signing off, Yew Jin.
