Putting your money on the ball

Here in the forest we sometimes all gather around the television to watch football, and sometimes the watching can become very intense.

As all the animals gather we like to snack out of crisps and a few beers before starting the friendly banter sticking up for our respective teams.

Personally my favorite premier league team was Charlton Athletic but sadly they went down a league fairly recently. However when they were there I always dreamed of the day that they would topple the giants and rise to the top of the league.

I would hang onto every pass and every tackle, using a whole host of oh's and ar's and eeeee's to show my frustration and excitment. In fact whilst watching football it is very hard to distinguish me from a chimp.

Now a beer, a TV and a football match is one of the best settings to take your emotions on a roller coaster ride. The sheer exhaustion that I suffer from and intense match leave me drained for at least a day after. The only way to make it more intense is too place a bet on the match.

Every tackle, pass and shot is amplified even if you bet a very small amount. The prospect of turning £2 into £11 brings everything up to an entirely new level and www.betfair.com is a great and easy place to place live betting.

They offer an easy interface to bet and say that they have revolutionised the way you bet on football by allowing betting against each other and not the house. They also offer a £25 sign up bonus and a safe setting to transfer your money.
