Asian flu has no effect on bettors

Despite Indonesia8217;s worst economic crisis in decades, ardent football fans have found the money and the time to gamble on the World Cup. In a country where organised gambling is illegal, the bets range in value from a cigarette or a milkshake to half a million rupiah about 30. Bets on who will win the World Cup can be done in a pool with the favourite teams having greater minimum bets. Bets on Brazil, for example, start at 100,000 rupiah with quot;as high as you can goquot; as the limit.
