OK - America's cup (Louis Vuitton) is starting - Warm up regatta - GFY pool?
 

$300 on New Zealand :upsidedow to win the cup.

anyone want to match that bet with Oracle and/or Alinghi?

Come on - its the only sport I follow........

OK - I will make it interesting - $500 if the last race winners (Alinghi) repeat the win against NZ - to my $300.

Bunch of wimps :)

What are you talking about? Do you have a link?

For fuck sake - I thought I had a bet on.... :(

Its the ultimate race & New Zealand cant afford to lose it :)

We have a whole city based around it.....

I kid you not.......

Funny, BMW's skipper is from Auckland. Just spoke to his dad this morning.

what we talking about?

pity it does not get much TV coverage in the US. Used to be on ESPN now I believe it is just on a webcast.

The old OLN, which has changed its name, carries it, but I dont think live. The webcast is not bad, and the subscriber link to see the boat positions etc is good.

Serious? - That makes me a star in NZ :)

"I spoke to someone, who spoke to the dad of the guy.............

Its going to be a HUGE deal.

Roy is the dad's name, and the youngest of the brothers lives just south of LA. I sail with him.

We sail with Alan McGlashian on our boat occasionally as well. He grew up racing against Scottie, Hamish Pepper, etc.

I am gonna be dropping so many names :winkwink:

Do you know how important this is to NZ?

Nice,but i a more preffer bet on betting sites.

That's why the NZ boys race on any ride that's paying? ;-}}}}

lol - well we have to pay for that new ^#%^# hull with something :)

That &$^& cost a fortune :1orglaugh

Hahaha, that's why the US team has Oracle and BMW ;)
