Stealing Money (?) - 7

England's opening game in the 2022 World Cup is against Iran. We are ranked 5th in the world, Iran 20th. The two sides have never met and it has to be said that Iran's preparation, in terms of actual results, appears to be better than England's - our winless run stretches back to March with 3 defeats and 3 draws, scoring just 4 goals (3 of those in the 3-3 draw with Germany). However, when compared, the level of opposition England have faced is higher than that Iran have faced.

Despite the poor form, the heat and the weight of expectation, i expect us to win our opener. So why the question mark? Well, the poor form, the heat and the weight of expectation :-)

We are around the 1/3 mark to win but Willy Hill are offering EVENS to a max stake of £10. The reason i am putting this up now (the game isn't played until Monday) is because i don't know when the offer will be withdrawn.

Don't think these two punters would share your sentiment, Zebu. OUCH!!!

I read that a Glasgow woman bet £250,000 that the EU referendum would be a win for Remain! Double OUCH!

I'm happy enough laying my tenners down, Dave :-))

Just checked to see if WH have one lined up for Friday's match v USA, but nothing doing so far.

I have a friend who put £1600 on "Remain". He never bets more than a fiver now!
