Radcliffe makes $5K Super Bowl bet with Ellen DeGeneres

Birmingham Star (ANI) Saturday 4th February, 2012

Daniel Radcliffe is supporting the Giants and has bet for 5,000 dollars that New York will win the Super Bowl.

"I'm really excited. I am a Giants fan, absolutely. I was christened a Giants fan when I arrived in New York. I did 'Equus' there the first time. But it was this year I really got into it," New York Post quoted Radcliffe as telling Ellen DeGeneres' show.

Radcliffe asked DeGeneres, who normally roots for New Orleans, if she wanted to place a wager on the game. He suggested that they bet 5,000 dollar with the money going to The Trevor Project, a charity both stars support.

"I'm backing the Giants," Radcliffe said.

To which DeGeneres responded, "So that means that I have to back the Patriots."

After asking the audience to applaud for the team they thought would win, and hearing loud support for the Patriots, DeGeneres decided to take the wager. The two shook on the bet. (ANI)

    Four days ago marked two decades since Ratko Mladic became the commander of the main staff of the army of Republika Srpska - the VRS. On that day, Mladic began his full participation in a criminal endeavour that was already in progress. On that day, he assumed the mantle of realising through military might the criminal goals of ethnically cleansing much of Bosnia. On that day he commenced his direct involvement in serious international crimes.
