    For those allergic to the Heil 😉

    ‘I’ve since had different companies contact me saying if that was their company, they’d pay out’

    I want to know who these people are and more importantly which bookmaker they run as I would be delighted to start punting with them with immediate effect.

    Nathan will be right – most wouldn’t know a related contingency from a jug of milk.

    That bet wouldn’t have got past me in a million years but when I worked in a shop we had this bizarre policy of employing people who knew about sport and betting.

    Most shop staff simply don’t have a clue and I’m not remotely surprised it got past them. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

    I would have paid him a bit more, maybe something between and 900 quid and a grand.

    Naming the two finalists at 22/1 becomes roughly 45/1, if you include Argentina to be the winner. Then under those circumstances maybe something around 5/4 or 6/4 for Messi to become the tournament’s MVP.

    A grand would have been ok, but no way he ever had a right to claim 15 grand…..

    There’s a man in the crowd watching Brazil and they’re passing so slow he’s almost asleep and his mind wanders to certain extinct type animals that try to curry favour with yer feelings. He stands up and instead of shouting GOAL he shouts BEAVER and then DAM THEM.
    They are shifty looking little critters that are close to hate crimes !

    I’m an animal lover
    but I am honest
    I really really hate Hares
    and there are forty four reasons to hate them
    Main reason – they are there.

    Try to keep.your eyes on
    the road.

    Cheers
