Paul the Octopus has released his picks for the last 2 games of the World Cup – Germany will beat Uruguay to finish 3rd (1/3 odds), and Spain will beat Holland to lift the cup (8/15 odds).

Since Paul has a 100% record on the World Cup, we’re putting the full Livefootball.net betting account on a double bet with his latest picks.

We’re putting £10,000 on Germany to finish 3rd, and Spain to lift the trophy. This will pay out £20,444.

If you trust Paul, you might want to head over to Paddy Power and get some action on this :) We’d also love to hear your comments below. Have you been following Paul so far? Have you cashed in?

A “psychic” octopus in Germany, which appears to have correctly predicted every World Cup game involving the national team so far, has picked Spain over Germany in the semi-final.

Paul, from the Sea Life Aquarium in the western city of Oberhausen, chose a mussel from a jar with the Spanish flag instead of one with a German flag.

The two-year-old cephalopod has become a national celebrity.

According to his owners, he has a record of predicting German results.

They say Paul chose the winner in nearly 70% of Germany’s games during the 2008 European Championship.

He correctly predicted all five of the team’s previous World Cup games – including a shock defeat by Serbia in the group stages.

His prognosis ahead of Wednesday’s World Cup semi-final was broadcast live on German TV.

Correspondents says Paul’s plumping for Spain has caused alarm in the country, but some analysts point out that his predictive powers are not perfect.

During Euro 2008 he wrongly picked Germany as the victor against Spain.
