It's not even April 1st

I love Centrebet, and not just because they gave me a thousand dollars once. No, the reason is because of betting options like this, 2003 Wife Carrying World Championships UUSORG/SOLL (ESTONIA) 2.10 MIETTINEN/STENBERG (FINLAND) 3.00 UNDREST/UNDREST (ESTONIA) 5.00 UUSORG/LÖÖMETS (ESTONIA) 5.00 STRAATMANN/STRAATMANN (USA) 11.00 AMMITZBÖLL/SKAUNSGAARD (DENMARK) 13.00 JUSSILA/JUSSILA (FINLAND) 13.00 ROBERTS/GALVIN (IRELAND) 19.00 LINDROOS/LINDROOS (FINLAND) 21.00 SUTINEN/SUTINEN (FINLAND) 21.00 WINTER/WILLOUGHBY (UK) 21.00 VÄISÄNEN/KORHONEN (FINLAND) 26.00 JUNTUNEN/HAAVIKKO (FINLAND) 34.00 WRAY/RANTALA (UK/FINLAND) 34.00 SAVOLAINEN/SAVOLAINEN (FINLAND) 41.00 MIETTINEN/HARTIKAINEN (FINLAND) 51.00 RASILA/HEUKKINEN (FINLAND) 51.00 JARVA/HIRVIKOSKI (FINLAND) 61.00 JUNTUNEN/KINNUNEN (FINLAND) 61.00 KOISTINEN/KOISTINEN (FINLAND) 61.00 RISKI/ROSSI (FINLAND) 67.00 HERRA 47/MISS UNKNOWN (FINLAND) 101.00 I'm a bit dubious about the qualification standard that allows somebody called "Miss Unknown" to enter (and how can she be MISS if she's married eh? SCANDAL!) so I think I'll have to put my hard earned dollar on the Straatman family of the US to pull off an upset victory. There's also betting on the winning time (55 seconds or less is the current favourite) and whether or not a world record is going down No, I am NOT making this up (website). It's on tomorrow.
