Borat bet looks very nice

Those punters who believe that mischievous mentions of Borat will be made when England play Kazakhstan on Saturday should seek out Paddy Power, who have come up with a couple of special markets.

The Irish firm are betting on the first Borat commentary cliché said by the ITV commentators and make “Very Nice” the 4-1 favourite. “Is nice” is more chunky at 25-1, while “High Five”, at 33-1, could sneak in without the reporting team even realising the ramifications.

“Glorious nation of Kazakhstan” is a 50-1 chance, while those who believe the commentators will truly capture the mood can get 100-1 about “Wawaweewa”.

Paddy Power are also betting on how long it will be before the ITV commentators say Borat. The make any time in the first 15 minutes the 5-2 favourite, with all bets being void if no mention is made of the character made famous by  Sacha Baron Cohen.

Those who want to concentrate on the action are being invited to predict how many goals will England score. Three is the 11-4 favourite, with two, at 16-5, and four, at 4-1, being next in the betting.

Power also have a market on who will score most goals for England in the match. Wayne Rooney is 5-2 favourite and, after scoring in Manchester United’s past three matches, looks a worthy favourite. Frank Lampard is 9-2, with Heskey, Walcott and Gerrard bracketed on 5-1.
