Borat Betting? High Five!

I knew from the moment that England were drawn against Kazakhstan that there would be references to Borat in the build-up.

Paddy Power bookmakers have set up a book on the phrases that the commentators use during the match. They intend to payout on the first sentence used copying Sacha Baron Cohen's character.


Examples of such phrases are; 'Very Nice' at 4/1, 'Is nice' priced at 25/1 all the way down to 500/1 for 'May George Bush drink the blood of every man, woman, and child in Iraq.'

I fancy the 'High five' at 33/1 but will not lower myself to such silly betting.

Or will I?

I'm also looking forward to the Sunday headlines following the Kazakhstan victory.

Yes, I am only joking.
