Paul, the oracular octopus, tips his last match
The scourge of the world’s bookmakers is no more.
Paul the Octopus, the tentacled tipster who cost the betting industry more than $1.5-million last summer with his unerringly accurate FIFA World Cup predictions, passed away in his tank in the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany early Tuesday morning.

Despite rumours that he may well have predicted his own death – “If he did, he kept it to himself,” an aquarium spokesperson said – Paul’s prognostications during the month-long soccer showpiece in South Africa ensured his two and half years on this planet will not soon be forgotten.
