Xmas 1 Single Between Ricky Hatton and Rick Astley
07-Oct-2008

Is this to be the year that X Factor winners don't top the charts for the XMas Number 1 spot? The Christmas Number One is definitely an interesting wagering opportunity and the re-emergence of Rick Astley as international icon has definitely thrown the annual competition into a tailspin.

Is Michael Owen Leaving the Premiership?
07-Oct-2008

With Newcastle currently engaged in an utter nosedive and Joe Kinnear swearing blue and green to the Fleet Street wolf pack, there are few absolute certainties at this club. The only real big guarantee, at the moment anyway, is the fact that Michael Owen is out of contract at the end of the season and will definitely be on the move unless the heavens open up and the seas part.

07-Oct-2008

Odds on Presidential favourite Barack Obama are being cut again as John McCain's slash-and-burn hate-mongering tactics are backfiring dramatically. Many would have placed an Obama victory as improbable a year ago and now Barry Obama is on the verge of an absolutely epic win.

01-Oct-2008

Totesport is offering 14/1 that James Graham can follow up his Man of Steel victory by picking up the Harry Sunderland Trophy at Old Trafford on Saturday. However, the St Helens prop faces stiff competition from his team mates, Leon Pryce and Sean Long who are the 6/1 joint favourites.

Obama Confirmed as Clear Frontrunner
30-Sep-2008

Thanks to a multitude of factors including an economic crisis, the ridiculous appointment of Sarah Palin and the general sense that John McCain is simply too out of it to become President, has seen Barack Obama open up a double-digit lead according to the latest data from a Research 2000 Poll performed for Daily Kos.

Manchester United Chelsea Clash is Coming Too Early, but for Whom?
19-Sep-2008

Noon-time Clash Between Manchester United and Liverpool
12-Sep-2008

Fresh from 10 days of International duty, United and Liverpool are set to face off in the first big four match-up of the season. Suspiciously, Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard have suddenly become fully fit despite being declared injured for their club sides.

England Announce Line-Up for Stanford Super Series
09-Sep-2008

No massive surprises were recorded when England named their squad for the upcoming Stanford Super Series 10 million pound match against a West Indian XI. They have named virtually the same squad that prevailed 4-0 over South Africa in the NatWest ODI series.

Ferdinand Returns for Croatia Clash?
08-Sep-2008

Rio Ferdinand is reported to be fit for the Wednesday clash against Croatia in Zagreb-
scene of Steve McLaren's last stand, England were eliminated from qualifying for Euro 2008 thanks to a 3-2 loss to Slaven Bilic's men. England will need the solidity at the back if they are to get a result in this fixture and Ferdinand may be just the man to produce that.

William Hill Offers Odds on Newcastle Fans Boycott
05-Sep-2008

Newcastle fans continue to congregate outside St. James Park demanding that Chairman Mike Ashley and his lapdog Dennis Wise immediately resign. Cries of "Sack the Board!" are being bellowed by those huge Geordies you see on TV with the massive beer guts and faded Toon tattoos

Jimmy Bullard's England Take on Andorra
04-Sep-2008

Bullard remains a throw-back to the 70s-era footballer who cared about short-shorts and long hair, not Baby Bentley's. With the last England performance being filed under the term "lethargic" most proper England fans are saluting Bullard's call-up as exactly what the Three Lions need to be competitive and move forward.

Champions League 2008/9 Draw and Betting Preview
28-Aug-2008

Everybody's favourite bureaucrats (UEFA) went through their annual dog and pony show to sort out the Champions League Groups for the upcoming season. Some interesting draws have created several difficult-looking groups and Liverpool find themselves in a relatively sticky situation.

Community Shield Wagering Tips
08-Aug-2008

The launch of the 2008-2009 FA Barclay's Premier League is tantalizingly close and this weekend plays host to the Community Shield, the league's answer to coming attractions at a movie theatre. Premier League and Champions League winners Manchester United are facing off against 'Arry Redknapp's Pompey team...

Wimbledon Semi Finals Betting Advice
03-Jul-2008

From the outset you would have to say that this year's Wimbledon tournament has been an outstanding one even though it hasn't necessarily been jam-packed with surprises. Roger Federer is still yet to drop a set and he's absolutely demolished the competition throughout the whole tournament. He took Mario Ancic 6-1,7-5 and 6-4 to seal his passage into the semi finals.

Euro 2008 Betting Advice For Germany- Spain
29-Jun-2008

After a tournament that lasted most of the month and has been hailed, quite rightly, as the greatest Euro tournament in the history of the competition we finally come down to the wire with two great teams looking to make history. On one hand, you've got the cool efficiency of the Germans, who were somewhat exposed during the groups stages, but we've found that as the tournament has gone further and further the Germans have upped their game when necessary.

Euro 2008: Germany-Turkey Semi Final
24-Jun-2008

The Germans were the out-and-out favourite to blast through the tournament and cruise to a Euro 2008 title. It hasn't exactly been as painless as expected (2-1 loss to Croatia anyone?) but the Germans are in the semi-finals and look good value to have a go at things. Things definitely haven't gone according to plan for Germany, but players have stepped up when necessary and that's the type of thing you need to win tournaments. Schweinsteiger and Lukas Podolski, in particular, have been in exceptional form (Bastian's red card aside).

England - New Zealand 3rd ODI Betting
21-Jun-2008

After the semi-farcical (okay, fully-farcical) scenes during the last match-up in the NatWest series, you can almost consider this one a clean slate for both teams.

Euro 2008: Quarter Final Action As Turkey Take on Croatia
19-Jun-2008

At the outset you would peg this game as a no-brainer. Croatia eliminated England from the competition (with a little help from Steve McLaren) and they managed to rip apart tournament favorites Germany in the qualifying stages. Turkey squeaked into the quarter-finals on the back of some last minute heroics against the one-dimensional Czechs.

Euro 2008: Group D final round Betting
17-Jun-2008

This is a dead-rubber match with Spain having already qualified as top of the group and the Greeks have already crashed out of the tournament, just as I suspected they would

Euro 2008: Group B final round betting
16-Jun-2008

Most tournament observers likely assumed that Germany would have qualified by now and that Austria would have absolutely no chance getting through to the next stages. As we all know, football is a funny game

Euro 2008: Group C second round betting
12-Jun-2008

After falling victim to the Dutch and being on the wrong end of the tournaments biggest upset, Italian manager Roberto Donadoni has been lambasted in the Italian press for his utterly ridiculous team-selection in the previous match

Euro 2008: Group A Second Round Betting
10-Jun-2008

Betting on the first group stage games in a major tournament is always a bit challenging, because even if you watched an entire team through the qualifiers, there is absolutely no guarantee that they will actually play that well come Matchday One (Poland, I am looking in your direction).

Euro 2008: Group D first round betting
09-Jun-2008

Greece surprised everybody at the last European Championships and managed to grind out the victories (and eventually the trophy) by winning the ugliest matches you've ever seen, most of them by a 1-0 scoreline
