Do you have a spare $6 Million
The New Zealand Herald is reporting that one punter has placed a $6 million dollar bet on New Zealand to win the rugby world cup (via).
Lets not beat around the bush, the all blacks are awesome and really should win, however $6 million dollars. Even if I had that sort of money (which I don’t) I wouldn’t be risking it on such a bet. I’m not sure I could even bet that much on England failing to win the world cup, which is an cast iron dead cert.
Englands cup final is, in my opinion today (3:00 GMT) against Samoa. They must win this to save some face, and (hopefully) get through to the knockout stages, where I guess its fair to say, stranger things have happened.
England vs Samoa is being shown on ITV today.
But what if you had $600million? Then putting $6m on something like this might just be a good excuse to watch the rest of the games
