Rebalancing the system in favour of the victim
Here’s a little tip to cheer yourself up if England get beaten by Portugal this afternoon: Betfair are offering 4.4 on a Portugal win after 90 minutes. That’s a 17 quid payout on a five pound stake.
My bet’s on. If we get stuffed at least the commiseratory beers will buy themselves.
Update: Oh well. At least Doctor Who was less than mediocre for a change.
Update update: Or should that be more than mediocre? Either way, it was pretty ok.

I’d recommend a little saver on Italy to beat Germany in 90 minutes. 4.0 at the moment on betfair.
I had a tenner on at Willy Hill’s for Portugal to win in 90 minutes and Murray to beat Roddick. £107 for a £10 stake seemed a pretty damn good return – not to mention my patriotic duty as a Scotsman to profit from England’s misery just as I profit from your Barnett-related largesse.
Never quite happened, of course, but it was quite useful when the large English gentlemen at the next table wanted to know why I didn’t seem to be entirely on their side…
