Racing - it's all fixed.

I was in Chinatown in Cardiff today and happened to walk into the local bookies. Not being funny but how the fuck do you pick winners in these races. Talk about fixed.








Needless to say I did my bollocks. Never again.

Cloning, time travelling and human chameleons

Who knew these things were possible?

Well I knew about Dolly the sheep clone but hadn't realised we were cloning humans until this week. Even more surprising though was who was doing it. Not scientists or governments but Tottenham fuckiing Hotspur. That's right, the poor relations of North London, the great unwashed sexual deviants have taken a jump over the greatest team in the World (Arsenal) and have started cloning their players.

Obviously they haven't cloned any old player. Not even Spuds are stupid enough to take the field with eleven Adebayor's but what damage are they going to wreak when they get eleven of these on the field?


The first picture is the Mercurial Gareth Bale and the second is supposedly called Kenny McEvoy an Academy player. We're all doomed when they get the other eight clones on the pitch.

I always dreamt of time travelling when I was a kid. Who would I go back to meet? Would I travel all the way back to the beginning of time? See the Dinosaurs? And then when I was older it was more about going to the future and more specifically, looking at the next days football results.

Well, someone has managed to do just that and here's the proof.


What you are looking at there is a £250 (I haven't missed out a decimal point) correct score accumulator???

Another description would be that is a picture of £250,000 because that is what that slip is worth.

Who puts such a lumpy bet on a correct score accumulator? The only person I can think of is someone who already knows the results. Well played Mr Time Traveler, any tips for today?

Finally, Human Chameleons. This picture is proof they exist.

Snow, more snow and Lance.

Been a quiet few days.

The snow has decimated horse racing and I haven't felt the love for anything else.

Had a nine team Acca busted when Barca decided to lose whilst in mourning for Pep signing for Bayern. Fuck knows what Robben is going to do now he has to pass the ball more than once a half?

Had a couple of singles, Leeds and Sochaux, which triple my £20 starting bet.

Also had the 49 'ers win on Sunday night which was great news for the Superbowl bet. Really wanted the Falcons to beat New England but as always, be careful what you wish for.The Falcons looked really good whilst San Fran struggled. Betfair has seen them hold steady at 1.6 ish which is pretty good news so I've layed a part of my bet off. I've still got the lions share of the winnings on San Fran but I may trade in running if Atlanta look like winning.

Had a cheeky little bet on Treviso against the Ospreys. The bet looked dead and buried until the Italians run in two trys in the last five minutes.

Other than that I haven't been up to much.

Watched Lance Armstrongs interview with Oprah. To be honest I can't see what the fuss is about. Personally I think the guy is a legend. I only ever rode my bike once whilst on drugs and I hit a dog and fell into a canal. Lance won seven Tour De Frances whilst ripped off his tits. Fair fucking play.



Anyhow, looks like Bradford just got to Wembley. Think the entire Villa squad should get drug tested for losing that tie.

Horses for courses

Especially when you shop at Tesco's although you would have to be extremely unlucky to pick a Dessert with horse meat in.



Heard that Liverpool have sold Andy Carroll to Tesco's for an undisclosed fee.


I've had a tenner each way, first three win, on top scorer in the African Cup of Nations, I've gone for Zambian captain Chris Katongo at 33/1, Betfred now offer 40/1 if you fancy it. I will probably have another nibble later. He was joint top scorer last year and is also their penalty taker.

Picked a scoreline on all the FA Cup games last night with a view of trading in the last ten minutes of each game if that score was current. Was going to have 1-1 but changed my mind to 2-1 at the last minute. Only one game had that score though three of them would have been 1-1. Very small loss.

Today's horses (tomorrows main course) are:

Colour Squadron 1.20 New
Imperial Leader 1.55 New
Mountainous 2.25 New
Violin Davis 3.00 New

I've also got the latest betting on the Cheltenham Gold Cup.






Will probably post later with some footie bets.

Weekend round up



I know, so hard to believe right?

All my little bets lost on Saturday but my one big one, the over 2.5 goal double came in for £150 profit and then San Fransisco 49'ers did Green Bay for my Super bowl bet. They now travel to Atlanta and are currently 3 point favourites.

Headed down the pub for Super Sunday and had a cheeky £50 on Man Utd at 1.97. Can't believe they went off at nearly evens against Liverpool. Am gutted I didn't put more on.

Bad couple of days on the Horses. Saturday saw a tenner loss and today I failed to get a single winner on my Lucky 15. Still think there's a big winner due soon.

Had £10 on Les Miserables to win best picture at the Oscars at 14's. Worse films have won and this is currently showing and fresh in the memory.

That's it for now, hopefully a better day on the gee gees tomorrow. I must stop following Chopras advice.

And now for the most important piece of info you need to know, Hanks back.



Love Californication.

Saturday's bets

So many I think I'll probably forget a few.

Man of the Match bets QPR V Spuds

Sandro, Mackie, any goalkeeper (small stakes).

Home wins

Fullham, Cardiff, Forest, Hull, MK Dons, Shrewsbury, Rotherham (smallish stakes)

Away wins

Spurs, Brentford, Notts Co, Doncaster, Wycombe (smallish stakes)

Over 2.5 goal Double

'Boro and Forest (large stakes)

Away single

Notts Co (medium stakes)

Went to see Life of Pi last night, walked out after 30 minutes when I realised it wasn't Frank Lampards life story.


Never understood why the English used to boo him. If he had played for Wales there would have been a queue miles long waiting to give him him a Tommy tank.

Will probably add a lucky 31 later.

And here it is.

Black Thunder 2.40 K
Pete the Feat 3.35 W
The New One 3.00 W
Cruchain 2.05 K
Dashing George 3.25 W

Good luck if you're on anything today.

Football - funny old game

Howard Webb has been announced as next week's referee in Manchester United's win over Liverpool. Being the funny old game that it is though could there be an upset on the cards?



Big upset tonight as Swansea beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Mate of mine knows Laudrup and he gave me a copy of his match plan. Interesting reading.

  As you can see the pass to Michu option worked a treat. Stupidly I didn't have a bet on the Spaniard to score tonight. I have had a bet on him to be PFA player of the year at 12's. If La Liga players can make the World XI team then surely Michu, being Spanish, will win the PFA award. Let's be fair, it's only him or Torres isn't it?

Ronaldo has just scored an hat-trick as I type. What price Messi to do the same or better tomorrow? I'll let you know later.

On under 205.5 in the Nuggets/Magic game tonight. Small bet.

Horses went shite today, first time all four of lost on the Lucky 15 in quite some time. Hopefully I'll bounce back tomorrow.
