AHMEDABAD: You can't blame them for not knowing when Brazil has its first outing at the FIFA World Cup in Germany. The Sensex slide is exercising their minds much more than the sliding tackles which opponents are planning against Ronaldinho and Co. But don't be mistaken by this ignorance about the frenzy in Frankfurt. For, wherever there is money to be made, there is a Gujarati speculator. In fact, an army of them who can't wait to test the bookie's odds. Everyone knows Brazil are the favourites. Big deal! The knack is in picking the dark horses which yields more money than the thin margins that betting on a Brazilian win offers as returns. Bookies in Gujarat are busy these days taking bets from those would like to give cricket a respite. They have networked themselves with syndicates which have a worldwide cartel extending from the small town of Unjha to Ahmedabad, Mumbai to London. Bets are being taken on who would win the finals and which team would head their respective groups. ...................... -- DIE DULCI FREURE, DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes.
