The most patriotic ...

Money down the drain, but it had to be done...

This was actually the very first bet I have ever made at a Vegas sports book so it felt good to be backing England.  In fact, come to think of it, it's the first sports bet I've ever placed with a real live bookmaker anywhere!

I'll no doubt pick some more elaborate bets before kickoff.  I'm no good at betting on football (as you can see from the picture above) but there's just so many interesting bets on the World Cup - I don't think I'll be able to resist...
