Personally I'd part with 12 quid for a go on 1, but doubt I'd do half a year in the Bangkok Hilton.

An Irish model sentenced to a month in prison in Thailand for flouting the country's strict betting laws is begging Tanaiste Simon Coveney to come to her rescue.
Beauty Jessie Vard has had her sentence suspended for one year and fined 1,000 baht (€26) after she was convicted of violating Thailand’s gambling laws by promoting World Cup wagering.
Ms Vard (19), who is originally from Co Wicklow, was one of six models convicted at the Dusit District Court of Bangkok for violating Section 12 of Thailand’s Anti-Gambling Act — specifically for using their social media profiles to encourage Thai punters to wager with online betting sites that have no authority to operate in the country.
Jessie, who moved to Thailand with her father when she was two years of age, now wants to return to Ireland — but cannot do so as she is waiting for her new passport to be issued.
She has an Irish birth certificate and Irish PPS number.
