£55,000 bet against own team
A pessimistic Kiwi has placed a large bet against New Zealand at this year's Rugby World Cup.
The Aucklander, known only as 'Dave', has bet 55,000 pounds on New Zealand to fail to retain the William Webb Ellis trophy.
It is the biggest bet the Totalisator Agency Board has ever received against the All Blacks and one of the biggest in the country's history.
Dave's bet stands to earn him 30,000 pounds if the All Blacks bomb out at the Cup.
