Betfair
The purpose of Betting @ Betfair is to equip the betting novice (or indeed add to the armoury of the established punter) with the kind of information that will hopefully help him (or her) navigate a path to that place in betting heaven. Although this is a resource provided by those nice people at Betfair, we value the independence of our users. We like them to make up their own minds about what is or isn’t good value. We could bombard users with facts like: at Betfair you can get upto 20% better odds (which is true!), or that Betfair allows you to bet on something right up until the finishing line or final whistle (which is also true!) - but we won’t do that. The only thing we ask is that you allow us to educate you in the way of decimal odds (actually far more sensible and easy to use than the more traditional fractional odds) and that you find what you read at the site useful. Feel free to leave comments in the blogs, whether you agree with what’s said or even if think our contributors are talking total claptrap. Happy Hunting!
A Bridge too far for Carlo?
Taking the Chelsea job was never going to be easy for Carlo Ancelotti. He still doesn’t speak much English and he is going to have to adapt to the pace on the Premier League pretty quickly. Ancelotti arrives at Chelsea with a pretty decent pedigree having led Milan to two Champions League successes as well…
Top Five Championship / League One players who could play in the Premier League
Bolton’s reported pursuit of Swansea midfielder Ferrie Bodde got me thinking. Premier League managers have become hesitant to dip into the lower leagues over the years but anyone who follows Championship football will know there are a couple of gems out there who could indeed make the step up. Here is a list of five…
Keeping Davies the key for Bolton
Bolton Wanderers captain Kevin Davies is reportedly a transfer target for Bolton’s Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers. Davies endured a (very) difficult season for the Rovers way back in 1998/99 after a £7.5million move from Southampton. In his spell with the Rovers Davies scored just once in 24 games and was promptly sent back to Saouthampton…
Is Yaya Toure still part of Barecelona’s plans?
Yaya Toure’s agent has stoked the rumour mill regarding his client. Dmitri Seluk reckons Barca don’t ‘respect’ his client and has suggested the powerful midfielder might be playing his football elsewhere next season. This is what Seluk has had to say: “Barca have not complied with the gentleman’s agreement that we reached. “(Barca president) Laporta…
Madrid Merry-go-round: Ronaldo’s future at Manchester United remains a mystery
Last summer I was bored of all the Ronaldo moving to Real Madrid stuff pretty quickly, it carried on through right up until the transfer deadline and I’m fairly sure everyone was thinking ‘just go already’. When Florentino Perez started his campaign for the Real Madrid presidency he didn’t seem too keen on Ronaldo and…
Are we set for a new set of ‘Galacticos’ at Real Madrid?
It’s that time again in the Spanish capital, the Real Madrid presidential elections. The current favourite is Florentino Perez and it looks an almost certainty he will be the man in the Madrid hotseat next season. If anyone out there is unaware of who Perez is he has had a spell as president at the…
What is happening to Real Madrid?
Real Madrid are historically the most successful club in Spain, Europe and probably the world, as well as one of the richest if not the richest club in the world. Over the years they’ve had some fantastic players and played some mouth-watering football but things have changed at the Santiago Bernabeu and as an outsider…
Four to watch: A look at Europe’s top young talent
In today’s footballing world the term, “wonderkid,” seems to be thrown around as often as a Crisitano Ronaldo step over. Most of these so-called 16-year-old phenoms come along and shock the world for a couple of months before going into relative obscurity for the rest of their life. But for a small group of “wonderkids”…
Newcastle appoint Alan Shearer, but is it inspiration or desperation?
I’m writing this pretty much as the news is breaking but it seems as if Toon hero Alan Shearer will take the reins at St James’ Park for the remainder of the season. Newcastle sit third from bottom and are in very real danger of going down. Joe Kinnear’s medical problems could not have come…
It’s time Capello gave this Bolton trio an England call-up
Under Sam Allardyce Bolton were a team full of players from a whole host of international destinations. Gary Megson has changed all that around though and has a core English element to his team. Granted Bolton haven’t been great to watch or indeed performance wise this season but three of their players have really stood…
