Forget about that stupid German octopus Paul.  So what if he is perfect in his 2010 World Cup predictions to date. 

When Charles Jay of BetUS.com placed two dishes of tasty morsels in his hamsters cage with flags for each nation representing the Holland-Uruguay game, Mikey The Hamster was dropped into his cage and ran right up to the Netherlands dish.  The BetUS.com hamster has chosen Holland to win its game against Uruguay.

The BetUS.com hamster was a perfect 54-0 in his NFL picks last season.

Okay, so maybe he's not that good.

Jay is on Holland at least and, unlike that Octopus that is all the rage right now, the BetUS.com analyst actually offers a reason why Holland is a good bet at -150.

"While Uruguay has made a brilliant, gutty effort to reach these semifinals, it's just hard to see them being able to advance past a strong Dutch side without the offensive skill of Suarez. Keeper Fernando Muslera has already had as good a tournament as anyone in goal, and to ask him to play even better seems all but impossible.

"Remember too that there isn't a team hotter than the Oranje right now. They're the only side remaining in this World Cup to have won every game they've played, and as a national team, have been victorious in 24 matches in a row.

"Uruguay has gone about as far as they can, and without Suarez, they just won't have enough to make a World Cup final."

Incidentally, there are so many searches coming into the Gambling911.com website inquiring as to who Paul is on for the Holland-Uruguay game.  He does not pick games that do not feature Germany.  Tomorrow he has Spain beating the Germans.   The last time he went against Germany was with his Serbia pick and the later team managed an upset win.  Go figure!
