As we approach the end of this years tournament, the IPL, the world’s showpiece T20 competition, has once again been rocked by spot fixing accusations. This won’t come as much of a surprise to many of the regular cricket traders but what is a bit of a turn-up is the swiftness of the Indian police [...]
The following puzzle was posted on the Bet Angel forum by ‘JollyGreen’ recently and I thought a few of you may find it interesting. I came across this riddle a while back but had forgotten the details, so it was a nice surprise to see it posted. You are a contestant on a show and there are three boxes for [...]
One question a lot of football followers would like answered is how would their modern day heroes compare with those from the past? Well, last night I stumbled across a very interesting graphic that paints a very interesting picture of Bobby Moore’s contribution during the 1966 World Cup final using the Prozone Matchviewer. It compares [...]
It’s well known by most punters and casual fans that playing at home in most sports (at least the ones I’m familiar with) offers the home team an advantage. In football this can be measured as 0.40 of a goal and in rugby and NFL the same principle can apply, but the question I’ve been asking [...]
Following on from my last post and it seems the Baltimore Ravens have confounded their doubters by over-coming the Broncos and the Patriots to reach the Superbowl. I said their price at 26 was too big! Their current Betfair price has shortened now to 2.60 but disappointingly I admit to trading out of my position on them [...]
It’s that glorious time of the year again when the NFL reaches it’s business end and the remaining 12 teams enter the Playoffs. The Superbowl is the prize and I know who’s going to win. How?

So what does 2013 have in store for me and what ambitions do I feel the need to plan for? In an ideal world I’d love to be able to increase my profits by another 50%+ but if this became a reality I’d then be knocking on the door of incurring Betfair’s highest level of premium charges, [...]
So in 2012 I was able to go up a gear but what sports helped me achieve my aim and when compared to my review of 2011 at the beginning of last year, have there been any big shifts? Here’s the ‘good sports’…. Cricket (UP 63%) Part of my plan for 2012 was that I [...]
Well that’s it for 2012 and it’s time for me to do a round-up of my progress over the last 12 months. Some of you may remember that I did something similar last year and I found it really helped me evaluate where I was going and in making plans on how I could get [...]
G’day mates! It does feel like I go on about this tournament every year, but in case you didn’t know the Australian T20 Big Bash League starts tomorrow with Murali’s Melbourne Renegades going up against Warne’s Melbourne Stars. Yes, I know there seems to be more and more T20 tournaments popping up all over the [...]
