Ladbrokes Still Taking Bets On Chelsea

Chelsea Betting Odds At Ladbrokes 1/5

Super Soccer.co.uk >> Musical Football Odds > By Gerry Mcdonnell

Can't buy me love, by the Beat All's

In life, I have two goals; (That's one more than Djibril Cisse.) to see
world peace in my lifetime, and to make a consistent profit on football
betting. Unfortunately, only one of my goals is achievable.

World peace moved a step closer this week as Arsene Wenger offered Alex
Ferguson an olive branch. (He ran out of soup and pizza.) The Arsenal
manager slammed the supporters who booed Sir Alex off the pitch last
weekend, in a show of support for his old nemesis.

The Scot's diminishing popularity is due to the team's formation, 451
and 433 are not just the most common answers in the 'Guess the age of
Wayne Rooney's next female companion' competition, they're also the
source of the United supporters frustration.

A midweek win in Europe silenced the critics, and a return to form
against Fulham will put the issue to sleep. The United manager will not
be booed this weekend, although it's a fair possibility that he'll be
hissed at some stage. Back Man U at 4/7 to return to winning ways.

The Liverpool v Chelsea clash looks good on paper, but on closer
inspection, a dull game is the probable outcome. Liverpool have played
four matches against decent opposition; away to Spurs and Boro, and home
clashes with Man U and Chelsea, all four finished goalless. Tip of the
week? You can't spell Liverpool without two O's. Get on the goalless
draw at 8/1.

Alain Perrin's tenure at Fratton Park appears to be drawing to a close.
It's bad enough when you haven't won a home match all season, but
sarcastically clapping a referee because you saw Wayne Rooney do it on
the telly is unforgivable.

Pompey did well to draw both matches against Newcastle last season,
Steve Stone snatched an equaliser in both games. Sharon Stone would
struggle to score this time around. Back the Geordies to increase
Perrin's pain at 5/4.

Everton play Manchester City this weekend, a team they completed the
double over last season with Tim Cahill scoring in both matches. Kate
Moss scores more than Cahill now, get on Man City at 8/11.

Poker Pro Greg Fossil-Man Raymer chatted about poker for about 10 minutes on Talksport Radio today with Hawkesby and Jacobs.

Explaning poker in general offline and more importantly online, was the main point of the Fossil-Man interview. The online poker boom is big news here in the UK. There are a good few Poker programes on the TV these days and UK gamblers are learning poker quite quickly via the internet in the online poker rooms.

♠ However, what was most interesting was Greg Fossil-Man talking about long time pro players and hustlers, getting turned over playing poker by college students.

♠ Greg said the thought that the poker sharks will strip the college kids of their money easily has been dispelled. College kids are learning to play poker very well and are certainly giving the old time players a run for their money. Respect is due to the youngsters. If you don't give them respect, they will beat you, whoever you are Greg said.

Greg Fossil-Man Raymer won the 2004 World Series Of Poker. In the 2005 WSOP, Greg came in 25th, if I recall correctly.

PaddyPower Bookmakers have decided to payout on Chelsea today.

It is still September.

Chelsea are at priced 1/6 at the moment. Paddypower have still seen fit to payout early because they think Chelsea have the Premiership won already and more importantly, Paddypower get some press coverage. Fair enough.

Well, Golden Palace Buy Babies Names and Nine.com have offered Kate Moss 5 million dollars to be a spokeswoman after getting caught sniffing cocaine. Paddypower payout punters early and will payout the winners if they get their prediction wrong.

One2Bid.co.uk Auction Site >> One2Bid Chat With Mendoza On Talksport Radio > One2Bid.co.uk Auction Site

Mike Mendoza is not very happy with Ebay these days. Mike Mendoza works for Talksport Radio and has been chatting to a new Auction site owner from Southampton who runs a small auction site called One2Bid UK

Ebay's poor service, lack of response from Ebay help staff and overpriced service charges to purchase auction items are the problem. Funny, Paypal were mentioned as one of the worst offenders for transaction charges. Curious that, I am so surprised.

♠ Maybe Mike Mendoza is not aware that ebay bought Paypal in 2002

♠ Paypal then immediately stopped taking gambling deposit transactions which hurt the online gambling industry for a small while. Now it looks like the auction bidders are getting a grim deal.

One2Bid do not ask you for your credit card details to join up and bid in auctions. One2bid Auctions utilise payment methods the obvious Paypal and Visa, Mastercard, Switch and American Express. No Neteller yet, which I guess must be coming soon. Not much difference in transaction rates, but adds reach to a site stealing with instant online transactions.

Reuters.co.uk >> Online casino 888 makes lacklustre debut > 888 Slow Start

A Slow Start For 888?
Internet casino 888 made a tepid market debut on Thursday after it priced its shares at the lower end of a range and as investors turned their focus on takeover targets in the sector.

888 priced its initial public offering at 175 pence a share -- from a range of 162p to 212p -- amid concerns about slowing Internet gaming growth after a warning this month from online poker group PartyGaming.

TMC >> Design of $100 Laptop for Kids Unveiled > 100 Dollar Laptop for Kids

The $100 laptop computers that Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers want to get into the hands of the world's children would be durable, flexible and self-reliant.

The machines' AC adapter would double as a carrying strap, and a hand crank would power them when there's no electricity. They'd be foldable like traditional notebook PCs, and carried like slim lunchboxes.

For outdoor reading, their display would be able to shift from full color to glare-resistant black and white.

And surrounding it all, the laptops would have a rubber casing that closes tightly, because "they have to be absolutely indestructible," said Nicholas Negroponte

The Courier-Mail >> Punters take bookies to cleaners > Aussie Gamblers Win Big On Football

Aussie Betting shops were left reeling after the Sydney Swans landed one of the biggest Grand Final gambles since Aussie football betting started.

The Sydney Swans drifted to as much as $2.10 at some outlets before spearhead Barry Hall was cleared to play, then rank-and-file punters launched into a four-day betting spree.

♠ By game time, the Swans had been gambled down to as short as $1.60, with the Eagles drifting from $1.70 to the $2.20 offered by the NSW TAB's Sportsbet

♠ 'It was an absolutely mammoth gamble, especially for a Grand Final when you consider the volume of money involved,' NSW TAB's Glen Munsie said.

♠ 'Obviously we bore the brunt of it here being based in Sydney."

The Advertiser (aus) >> Gambling inquiry delay > 17 Year Old Gambled 40k

AN investigation into claims that a 17-year-old Chinese student gambled away $40,000 at Skycity Adelaide Casino has been stalled because authorities have refused to grant under-age witnesses immunity from prosecution, No Pokies MP Nick Xenophon claims.

Mr Xenophon in December raised concerns that a 17-year-old student from China, studying at an Adelaide school, had used a false ID to enter the casino and gamble away $40,000 in a six-month period. The youth's mother said her son had destroyed the family's dreams of providing him with the best education they could afford.

Mr Xenophon said other under-age international students were too scared to give evidence to the inquiry for fear of being "thrown out of the country". "The evidence is there but witnesses won't come forward without this immunity so it's a standoff," he said.

Gambling 911 >> Online casino operator Adam Anhang stabbed to death in Puerto Rico > Online Casino Boss Adam Anhang Murdered

Adam Joel Anhang has been murdered in Puerto Rico. Apparently not a robbery. Adam Anhang's wife survived the knife attack, which happened while he escorted her to her car.

For further details click here >> Further Details Of Anhang Murder

I am more interested in paying tribute to Adam Anhang aka FDHCM, rather than report the grisly details of his murder in detail.

Adam Anhang was a truthful man, who while working as the casino manager at Dr Ho's online casino, swept into the gambling message boards with some real home truths about the online casino industry.

Adam Anhang had many rogue casino managers diving for cover. Adam Anhang taught me a lot, was always there to help with any questions I had. I am a nobody, Adam was a big player in the casino industry, Adam still had time for me and my questions. Adam is gone.

Rip FDHCM, emotionally yours, Joey.

the Inquirer >> Online bookie offers odds on Kate Moss arrest > Kate Moss Arrest Betting Odds

Bet Maker.com have priced up some betting odds for whether Model Kate Moss will be arrested or not after pictures of her snorting cocaine appeared in the UK press.

Kate Moss To Be Arrested or Not Betting Odds >>
♠ Kate Moss To Be Arrested Odds = 4/5
♠ Kate Moss To Avoid Arrest Odds = 19/20
(Kate Moss arrest betting odds subject to change)

Gamblog Comment >> According to the UK news, Kate Moss will indeed be arrested for the cocaine snorting pictures. The betting odds on offer of 4/5 seem a tad generous.

Apparently Kate was caught sniffing the cocaine with some people related to Kate's boyfriend Pete Doherty's band.

Either way, the press were always going to catch Kate Moss out, ever since Kate Won A Libel Case Against The Sunday Mirror

Chelsea are priced at the tempting sounding odds of 200/1 with Paddypower.com to win every Premier league match this season (2005-2006)

Paddypower Bookmakers originally had Chelsea at 150/1 to win all 38 league matches, but were talked into offering 200/1 about the incredible feat, by Rodney Marsh and Paul Breen Turner on Talksport Radio this afternoon.

Chelsea won't win all 38 league matches. They are 6 and 0 at the moment after beating Charlton 2-0 away at the Valley in their latest match on th e weekend. Who will beat or draw with Chelsea is a good question. Nevertheless, Chelsea won't go 38 and 0.

Online Gambling Insider >> Another Online Gambling Listing On The Cards > Playtech May Float

Playtech are the casino software supplier that brought about the demise of the Online Players Association

They did so by cutting a deal with the part owner of the OPA, without the knowledge of the other owner of the OPA (Bryan Bailey), for payout percentage reports. Bailey and the rest of the OPA volunteers resigned, the player membership left.

These payout percentage reports are signed by Mike Craig. Some bloke who lives in Wales. They mean nothing except Playtech still have no morals. Playtech care not who they squash in their pursuit of riches. Certainly not the "Online Player". If they did, they'd demand those Playtech licensees remove the OPU payout percentage verification from sight. Why would Playtech do that though? Playtech used them to help sell their software with, when they were virtually unheard of.

Now Playtech May Float on the stock exchange.

They deserve to sink on the next tide out of Dover to Calais if you ask me.

Online gamblers have to research a casino or sportsbook, to make sure the firm is honest. A real waste of the punters time. The Scam Baiters turn the table on the scammers somewhat.

I have never "scam baited", I have other ways of making myself heard. Nonetheless, I always like to see the tables turned on the bad guys once in a while.
