A Singaporean campaign group ridiculed for suggesting that Germany was a risky bet in the World Cup used the tournaments outcome Monday to drive home its anti-gambling addiction message — and quickly got panned again.

Twitter user King Ming wrote: Why didnt my dad bet all my savings on Germany. The NCPG was set up in 2005 after Singapore announced the legalisation of casinos, now a massive industry in the city-state.
