The Eto'o top goalscorer bet is a bit more complicated. I layed him off to guarantee me +10 if if wasn't outright or joint top scorer. I'll gain +16 if he does end outright on his own.

Then with the complicated DH rules I'd be +7pts if he shared the outright with one other person and just +5pts if 3 people shared top spot.

So the worst result for me would be for Hosni, Zaki and Eto'o all the be joint top on say 5 or 6 goals each.

Still it's pleasing to go into the final knowing that I can't possibly lose anything and can only gain some profit
