William Hill report that had punters placed £10 on each of Paul the Psychic Octopus’ 2010 World Cup predictions, they would have won a staggering £2940 so far on the tournament.

German Paul has correctly predicted the winner in each of his nation’s matches so far and he has made his selections for the remaining two matches in South Africa.

He has gone for Germany to beat Uruguay, at 8/13 with William Hill and Spain to beat Holland at 6/5 in the World Cup final.

If his selections win, it would be an incredible World Cup for Paul, who is 100/1 with Hills to be rewarded with his own ‘tipster’ column in a British national newspaper.

Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams told Bettingpro:

"Punters are well know for being a very superstitions bunch, add in the fact that Paul has got the best record of any 'Tipster' we expect a surge in support. Our staff will need eight arms to cope with the number of bets he will attract, the Dutch will certainly be cheesed off with his selection!"

William Hill offer:

50/1 To Be Released Into The Wild
100/1 To Be Given A Tipster Column In A British National Newspaper
