Gordon McIvor Wilson Barney Frank rides again

You cant say you dont hear it here first! In my Blog Post on 8th May, I reported: "Say thank you to the nice Barney Frank Who he? you ask. Well, he's a Yank, hence the silly name. He is also the chairman of the House financial services committee. He is bringing in legislation to legalise internet gambling in the US ...." Well, he's still at it and reported continued efforts yesterday; good on yuh, Barney! Continue

Gordon McIvor Wilson How's the Betfair float getting on?

One topic guaranteed to stir the members of The Sports Exchange into putting e-pen to paper is the single word Betfair. John 2E, due back from his little rest in a week or two, has a long trail of fair comments on the Betfair scenario, and always generates real interest all round. Adonis, too, has been heard to raise the odd public interest point here. Press comment says the float is due soon, any bets on opening value of the company - various comments in the £2billion area. Anyone start a boo… Continue

Sports Punter Thursday 19th November

Lost about £17 trying to trade the darts last night. I get the feeling it is not for me. Hopefully the longer games should be more to my liking. We'll see tonight. Unlucky Republic of Ireland last night, wasn't involved financially, but would have been nice to see them go through. Looks like I'll be watching CricInfo for the rest of the morning, praying for some Indian Wickets. Just wish I was watching it on Sky but we all have to earn a crust I guess. Good luck all.

Sports Punter Wednesday 18th November

Lost about £25 on the SA A v England Cricket last night which was a bit of a shame but in all reality it was nice to see a decent Batting display from England. Wish I had got involved with the Darts now looking at the results, there was probably money to be made, but I didn't. Bit worried about my lay of the draw @ 1.8 in the India v SL Test, it's now trading at more like 1.65 and the pitch appears to be doing next to nothing. I am going to let it run for a while and hope SL build a significan… Continue

Sports Punter Tuesday 17th November

Didn't think there was gong to be much to trade yesterday apart form the cricket. How wrong I was, bring on the Darts. I only normally watch the matches over Christmas and the New Year (PDC rather than BDO, purely for the entertainment value) Traded a few of the games last night and ended up about £75 so a decent start to the week. 'The Count' beating Hawaii FiveO the undoubted highlight. Mardle needs to concentrate on his rapidly diminishing ability rather than trying to wind people up all th… Continue

Sports Punter Weekend 14/15th November

Sorry for the lack of updates over the weekend. My son was three on Sunday, so we had a fireworks party for him on Saturday afternoon/evening and then most of my time yesterday was taken up with playing with all the new toys he got for his birthday. You'll be pleased to know it didn't stop the punting entirely however.... Although I wish it had. Managed to go the whole weekend at Cheltenham meeting without a winner which is spectacular even by my very low standards. I am definitely leaving th… Continue

Sports Punter Friday 13th November (Is that a bad Omen?)

Ok Ladies and Gents, finished work early today as really fancy having a couple of trades this afternoon and things are always quiet with work on a Friday Afternoon. Going to try my hand at some Horses (Oh No I hear you say!), Tennis and Cricket and see how we do. I'll try to stay logged in here for the duration and also on MSN sports_punter@hotmail.co.uk if anyone wants to chat? The lure of the pub around 4.30 (for a couple fo hours) maybe become too strong to turn down, we'll see how we are… Continue

Sports Punter Wednesday 11th November

Ok. Reasonable day today. Nothing major but had a chance to trade some manic Tennis which was good. Lumping on Tiger @ 2.5 in Australia. Will see where we stand when I wake up in the morrning. If he doesn't trade odds on at some point in the next few days I will be amazed................... Good Luck SP PS May have some news tomorrow for anyone who is interested in Trading - Be sure to check back then. Continue

Sports Punter Tuesday 10th November

Just thought I would put up a quick post about what has been happening the last couple of days. Played a bit of the Cricket yesterday (Pakistan v New Zealand) - Wow what a game - must admit I am not much of a conspiracy theorist when it comes to Pakistan, but if I was yesterday would have added much fuel to the fire. Anyway things went well and I managed about a £250 win on the Match market even after taking off my tie insurance which when Pakistan were 9 down needing a bucket load I never tho… Continue

Gordon McIvor Wilson John Tuohy - latest bulletin

Better news from the J2E bedside, but he's clearly had a dreadful time. Louise rang last night to say she hopes he will be home by Christmas. He's had three bouts of pneumonia and has been in intensive care for several weeks but coming out of that in a few days time, she expects. He's had a good week and seems to be firmly on the mend at last. He was very encouraged by the various messages from friends on The Sports Exchange (which Louise reads to him, he isnt fit enough to work the airwaves y… Continue

Sports Punter Sunday 8th November

Well what a day yesterday! The tips both went in which was nice. Villa never really looked in any trouble from early days and as for Zanayetta what can I say? She is a serious racehorse. A lot of people on the various forums I read trying again to crab Sea the Stars in the wake of the the performance, but for me Sea the Stars has nothing to prove to anyone. Yes it would have been great to have them head to head but it wasn't to be. For my money STS would have cleaned up given the opportunity… Continue

Sports Punter Saturday 7th November

Cricket went badly yesterday. Basically I got greedy and left an open position when I went to the pub knowing I wouldn't be able to trade out. Bit silly really but these things happen. I fancied Pakistan to chase down New Zealand's total, which obviously they spectacularly failed to do. Got it back and more at the Breeder's Cup though so it's not all bad. Here are the results from yesterday.

Sports Punter Friday 6th November

Got a busy morning ahead work wise, but will look to trade the Pakistan v New Zealand ODI this afternoon hopefully. I'll try to update if I get a chance later. Had a quick look at Tiger in the HSBC, but to be honest we'll see how today goes first before I decide if I should lump on him. I am struggling to see how he gets beat from the position he is in currently. Was expecting him to be odds on. Good Luck today and let me know if you see anything that catches your eye. Continue

Sports Punter Thursday 5th November

Sorry for the late update for yesterday, but what with Fireworks etc last night didn't get a chance. Traded the India v Australia ODI yesterday and won about £80 in the end. Would have been slightly more but had to take some tie insurance at the end as it was getting close and didn't want to lost the profit in the event of a tie. By the way if there has ever been a better Innings than Sachin Tendulkar's yesterday I haven't seen it. The Little Master is a LEGEND.

Sports Punter Wednesday 4th November

Nothing doing tonight I am afraid. Going to watch Lyon v Liverpool without a bet. Praying Liverpool come through somehow. It's a tough life being a Liverpool fan at the moment. Trust me. On a brighter note going to Legoland Windsor now on Saturday with the family for the Fireworks. Should be good and save me a few quid in the meantime ;-) Good luck if you are playing tonight unless you are laying Liverpool............... Continue
