Ante-Post Tipping Competition - Results!
2008-03-18 17:54:00 Collectively we didn’t cover ourselves with glory when it came to last month’s ante-post tipping competition. Nobody got all four winners of the big races at Cheltenham. I got 0 out of 4, which sums up my week. Thankfully we do have a winner. Both babbabs and Ron Sands picked 3 out of 4, with babbabs getting ...

Kauto Star v Denman
2008-03-14 12:32:00 Right, I’m giving up on the tipping - sighs of relief across the nation - and focusing on the big race of the day, year, and decade (at least). For once I think the hype is justified and I’m certain it’s going to be spectacular. And I have to go for Kauto Star . (Don’t worry - ... More About: Racing , Sportsbook
Cheltenham Betting
2008-03-14 12:01:00 “Everything that guy just said is bullshit … Thank you.” Not my words, My Cousin Vinny’s - possibly after he read Paddy’s Irish Yankee yesterday. After a shocking start there was little chance of getting anywhere near Charlize Theron and even my back up plan of going home with a Pot Noodle and a box ... More About: Racing , Sportsbook
Six Nations Preview
2008-03-13 17:31:00 Wales v France - Sat 5pm Live on BBC1/RTE2 I think Wales will win this to take the Championship but it is going to be that close that I would actually go for France on the handicap. It?s one hell of a game to finish the Six Nations off with the two most attractive sides vying ... More About: Preview , Rugby , Sportsbook
An Irish Yankee!
2008-03-13 12:47:00 Yesterday was a disaster. And Tuesday wasn’t great either as far as my tipping was concerned. Still we’ve got what has to be “the best two days racing in the history of the world - ever” coming up, and on the basis that even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day I’m ...

Cheltenham Days 2 & 1/2 and 3
2008-03-13 11:50:00 Two previews for the price of one!! It was my first time. I sighed nervously, but my heart was racing with excitement. I’d heard other people saying that they’d done it loads and I wondered when my time would come. It nearly happened once or twice before, but I ruined it by doing something stupid at ...

Piggyham Hurdle Result!
2008-03-12 18:00:00 The result of the first annual Piggyham Hurdle (concocted because we had bugger all else to do) may have been a bit of a surprise but seeing the CEO of your company falling flat on his face and having the freedom to guffaw like a buffoon at him is a moment to be cherished. You may ... More About: Racing , Sportsbook , Result
Who Needs Cheltenham?
2008-03-12 16:40:00 Since we?d bugger all else to do around the office today, what with Cheltenham being called off, we decided we?d make our own race festival ? the piggyham champion hurdle. Sure enough all the top guys were the first to down tools and steal all the glory get involved. Our CEO, Patrick Kennedy (this is the ... More About: Sportsbook
Newcastle Rant
2008-03-12 14:49:00 Unless Newcastle seriously reassess their position in English football, the club has little hope of going anywhere, except down to the Championship. Last Saturday’s display against Liverpool was dismal beyond belief. Although a lack of quality can sometimes be forgiven when there is plenty of endeavour on show, the indifferent attitude of the majority of ... More About: Football , Rant , Sportsbook
Cheltenham Day One
2008-03-11 11:17:00 Pay close attention. This is the symbol that could be your passport to profit at Cheltenham. Those in the know are already aware of its powerful significance, but for the uninitiated it denotes a win over course and distance. This is absolutely essential at Cheltenham. The fact that a horse has already come to Cheltenham, ... More About: Racing , Sportsbook
Raise a Cheer For Cheltenham
2008-03-10 22:28:00 OK, no one would take a racing tip from me seriously but as we all know Cheltenham isn’t just about the horses. There’s also everything else going on that makes it one of the greatest weeks in sport so we have a few special bets covering events off the track too. Our famous Guinness betting ...

2008-03-10 13:21:00 I know you’ve all been waiting for this - my plan for the week! I didn’t want to bore you by running through the whole card for every day of the festival, so I’ve just picked out a few horses that I have my eye on. Feel free to take me to task in the comments ...

Crufts is the Dogs?
2008-03-07 17:39:00 I held my breath as I tuned into BBC 2 last night to view day 1 of Crufts. The Utility group was first up and I had to watch out for this “superdog” that caused a certain bookie to suspend betting on the World’s biggest dog show. Surely there was a hot dog amongst them ...

Six Nations Preview
2008-03-07 14:55:00 Ireland v Wales - Sat 1.15pm Live on RTE2 & BBC1 Paul O?Connell?s return will give the whole team a big confidence boost. If he moulds the pack together they?ll be formidable. The game will be set by the first 20 minutes, Ireland will throw the kitchen sink at them and if Wales can survive the ... More About: Preview , Nations , Rugby , Sportsbook
Remember The Alamo!
2008-03-06 11:17:00 Work this one out yourself… Ireland and Wales will not be pretty but take Ireland at 2/1 to win by 1-10 points following blood, tears, sacrifice, guts and sheer bloody-mindedness. Those wondering what?s on my mind will have to accept that yesterday was day Colonel William Travis drew the now very, very famous line for ... More About: Sportsbook

Champions League Betting Preview
2008-03-03 19:43:00 AC Milan v Arsenal ? 7.45pm Live on ITV4 & Setanta It’s going to be another tight game between these two sides. With the wealth of experience that AC Milan have, they could close this game out. Having said that, with Arsenal’s youth, I think they can score at the San Siro. Adebayor hasn’t scored in ...

Arsenal?s Meltdown
2008-03-01 18:44:00 No wins in four games and a daunting trip to the San Siro midweek - it looks like Arsenal are in meltdown mode. You can kind of excuse William Gallas for going nuts after the match with Birmingham ? it was an irrational response at the end of an emotionally difficult match, but more worryingly ...

Who the F@*! is Alice?
2008-02-29 19:12:00 Its a fair question and one that football fans love to sing after 10 pints of post-match falling down water. But after all these years of lyrical wondering it seems we’re close to an answer. And it seems whoever Alice is she’s leaving her hair grips all around the grounds of the Premier League football ...

?Nil Interest? never mind ?Nil Points?!
2008-02-29 15:18:00 Dustin the Turkey must have the UK feeling totally deflated. There’s been virtually nil interest in this year’s UK song choice for Eurovision, and I have to say I’m not surprised. All six acts hoping to get the UK’s vote this Saturday are brutal! Is it any wonder our neighbours are pinning their hopes and ... More About: Mind , Sportsbook , Interest , Novelty , Points
Supermarket Sweep!
2008-02-29 12:45:00 Oh dear. Momentary panic took hold as I sat on the cool porcelain. A quick look to the left and right provided little in the way of sanitary solace while a look down to the floor revealed a mass grave of cardboard inserts which at one stage proudly hosted luxury quilted toilet roll, mega-cheapo toilet ...

Is Kauto Star Unbeatable?
2008-02-28 21:06:00 “If Carlsberg did racing festivals; it probably wouldn’t be the best racing festival in the world, we all know Cheltenham is!” someone has probably said this already, so I won’t claim it. Yes, it’s almost that time of year again and while I was putting together some ‘top’ tips, hints and useful information for National Hunt’s ... More About: Star , Sportsbook
Will It Be Douze Points For Dustin?
2008-02-28 14:40:00 Some people might question the wisdom of sending a turkey out to battle for Europe’s most prestigious prize. But Dustin certainly has us running for cover: he’s in to 5/1 favourite to win the whole thing, which is pretty impressive given that we haven’t even seen what collection of tinfoil-wrapped transexuals, lesbians and goblin impersonators ...

The king is dead, long live the king
2008-02-28 12:03:00 As I?m sure most of you are aware, we launched our new Racing Pages earlier this month. Thanks to the feedback we received in an earlier post, we quickly realised the Next 3 Races link in the navigation was missed. One of our technical advisors thought it wouldn?t be. He?s been de-promoted ... More About: Website , The King , Live , Dead
