TGJB has never given out one so cold as this !!!
The Rugby World Cup Final today @ 3:00 PM eastern on NBC matches New Zealand the host country and a 4/6 pre tournament favorite vs France whom they have already beaten 30-7 in a pool game.
Welsh bookmaker Paddy Power has already paid out by 10:00 AM on Wednesday all bets on NZ. The host country was such an overwhelming favorite to begin with and the French played a very controversial game against the Welsh side in the semi final last weekend that his loses are such he decided to just pay everyone off before hand.
According to reports he was holding 650,000 euro\'s = $ 894,000.00 on New Zealand bets. The semi-final was so controversial between Wales & France a 9-8 French triumph with the Welsh captain being ruled off early in the contest and the Welsh forced to play 14 vs 15 for the majority of the game. The bookmaker was so appalled and embarrassed by the Welsh effort he refunded over 500,000 euro\'s bet on the Welsh side to punters.
For those non rugby watchers ( 99.9 % ) The game has already been played and NZ has won 8-7 !!!!!!
Now Paddy Power is a bookmakers bookmaker !!!!!!!
What a set of ????
Good luck,
