Are they picking sides? Do they know the teams or players? And why are they even playing a game in Mexico?
What are they cheering for in Mexico?

How many pesos to a dollar these day 1500? Maybe if they paid in skinny chickens or 20 lb great danes they might do ok.
NO WAY this game makes money. If they had any money in Mexico at al I wouldn't see 200 of em lined up outside Home Depot willing to work 10 hours for 25 bux cash.

Would it really be worth someone from the states to ever move there with a ton of money? I mean, are there enough luxuries to make someone happy?

this is getting a bit beyond my knowledge but when i googled it this is the first thing to pop up
CAN FOREIGNERS REALLY OWN PROPERTY IN MEXICO?
Yes, Americans and other foreigners may obtain direct ownership of property in the interior of Mexico. However, under Mexican law, foreigners cannot own property outright within the restricted zone. Instead, a real estate trust must be set up to hold title for the foreigner. Since foreigners are not able to enter into contracts in buy real estate, they must have a bank act on their behalf, much as a trust is use to hold property for minors because they also can not contract. The following is a brief outline of the law regarding such trust, known as "fideicomisos", but potential buyers should always get advice and have all real estate transactions overview by a licensed Mexican attorney.

I have heard Mexico City is a very dangerous place. Worse than any American city especially if you are an American or tourist looking. Abduction of tourists for ransom is common and you have no one to go to because the police are the criminals.This is just what I have heard.

You know Tesco, I never knew this, but this is total BS.
Now, PLEASE don't take this the wrong way, but we allow them into the states freely and they are allowed to buy up all the land here that they desire, but aliens outside of Mexico are not allowed to do the same in their country?!?

NFL a hit with Mexican gamblers

MEXICO CITY - When the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers play in Mexico City on Sunday, their Mexican hosts won't have hometown pride on the line, but they will have money riding on the game, and a lot of it.
Sports betting is legal in Mexico, and every weekend thousands of gamblers line up at lottery windows or settle into cushy chairs at betting parlors to try their luck on American football. The matchup between los Cardenales and los Cuarentaynueves is the first regular-season NFL game outside the United States.
"There's going to be a lot of betting going on," Sergio Rosado Gasc?n, a computer engineer, said as he watched four games simultaneously in one of Mexico City's Caliente betting parlors on a recent Sunday. advertisement
Around him, football fans lounged in bright-red easy chairs or pored over sheets of statistics at lacquered tables. Waiters moved quietly through the room, dispensing sodas and cigarettes.
In Mexico, wagering occurs two ways: through betting parlors or a government-run game called "Pro-Touch."
To get into one of the betting parlors, customers have to pass through a metal detector manned by armed guards. But inside, the establishments are a far cry from the dim, smoky bookie joints seen in movies.
There are comfortable chairs and carpeting, with bright lighting and big tables for spreading out statistics sheets. It's quiet enough to speak casually. If it weren't for the televisions everywhere, it would look like a reading room at the local library.
At a counter along one wall, customers can place bets on everything from hockey to politics. Who's going to be on the U.S. presidential ballot in 2008? The odds are on Hillary Clinton and Rudolph Giuliani right now.
Parlors also accept bets by telephone or via the Internet, but not from the United States, where betting on sports is illegal except in Nevada and Oregon, which runs a state lottery game called Sports Action.
In most Mexican betting parlors, American football is the sport of choice. Fans can place wagers on individual games or combinations of up to five games.
Guillermo Moreno Colin, a 47-year-old exterminator, said he prefers to bet on American football rather than Mexican soccer because of a general perception in Mexico that U.S. leagues are less tainted by corruption.
"In soccer, you get the feeling they're always arranging the games somehow," he said. "That's why I play Pro-Touch rather than Pro-Gol. It seems fairer."
Pro-Touch is played at the country's Pron?sticos lottery windows. To win, players must correctly predict the outcome of 14 NFL matchups each week. Pro-Gol is the soccer version.
Each entry costs $1 and has a $150,000 maximum prize that keeps growing if no one wins.
The game is run by the federal government, and the earnings go to welfare programs, officials say.
Soccer doesn't even come close to American football in betting parlor popularity. One reason is soccer bets are harder to win. A gambler has about a 50 percent chance of winning a football bet, because there are rules to determine the winner in case of a tie. In soccer, bettors have to correctly predict a win, loss or tie - meaning a 33 percent chance of winning.
At a Sports Book branch in central Mexico City, Oscar Palacios thumbed through a handful of betting slips as he watched a bank of televisions with about 20 other football fans.
"Soccer is tedious. Football is more fun to bet on, because there are more surprises," Palacios said.
But it also tends to be an upper-class pursuit.
With a minimum bet of $10, more than twice the daily minimum wage in Mexico, most customers who wager on football are well off. Rosado Gasc?n had $80 riding on the Cardinals, and said he bets up to $400 every Sunday. Palacios, who owns his own truck rental company, said he bets about $300 a week.
"It's expensive," Palacios said. "People who are earning minimum wage don't have the capacity to play like this."
The betting parlor business is dominated by Caliente, controlled by Tijuana Mayor Jorge Hank Rohn, and Sports Book, part of Mexican entertainment company CIE. Caliente has 80 branches nationwide; Sports Book has 28.
The Mexican broadcaster Televisa also recently won permission to open 65 betting parlors under the name Apuestas Internacionales. The permits caused a scandal because former Interior Minister Santiago Creel approved them just before he resigned to run for president. Political opponents accused Creel of trying to curry favor with the powerful TV network.
