The Brits Are Kicking Up A Betting Storm

READ MORE: Cricket, England, Rugby, soccer

_39620171_lions_getty.jpgHow can it be that the greatest gambling weekend in the world is apparently in England this weekend? Well, because those crazy bastards across the pond are absolutely fired up to gamble on anything and everything like who’s the most handsome British homo. But tomorrow, well, it’s something special for the madcap punters. With England’s cricket, rugby and football teams all playing international matches on Saturday plus the first big chase of the new National Hunt season taking place at Cheltenham, bookies are predicting a national betting frenzy. Paddy Power says it will be one of the biggest betting weekends ever. Then they said this:

“Everyone will be watching something and you can guarantee they will be having a tenner here and there. We know how popular the first scorer, most runs or a flutter on a horse is at the moment.”

And now we’re completely confused. Horse fluttering sounds so…dirty.
