Stephen Fry described his visit to
Millwall FC on Tuesday evening as "on a dangerous adventure" when tweeting to his adoring followers. My Man in the (directors') Box, Craig, reports a pleasant encounter with the Norwich City board member during a low-key draw which passed off without anything dangerous on or in The New Den.
The Lions v The Canaries, sounds a dangerous mis-match to me [no…

PoliticsHome have run a survey today asking for
votes on who will be the the next leader of each of the 3 main political parties. A dozen names offered for each, I suppose I recognise 70% and know a little about 20% of the names.
Unusually, all 3
current incumbents look set fair to remain leader of their respective party beyond the next election. They seem ok in terms…

You can scarcely move on the riverbank these days for betting folk. Not so much Mole, Rat and Badger gathering around Toad Hall fending off the Stoats and Ferrets; more the local patriarch, 'Onest John 2E, your friendly local bookie, and his cohort of slick, young(ish) sales and marketing experts.…

I was going to start further observations on the
Amazing Incident of the Reluctant Footballer. However, as
Wazza and Fergie have reached an accommodation, and are Best Mates again, I will save myself the trouble of writing it, and you, dear Reader, the trouble of reading it.
Well that's all right then. Potential energy preserved, no trees felled, rain forests preserved, just nice time for me to snuck into the butler's pantry for a quick sharpener. We dont yet…

This morning git up at 8am. Waiting for the boys to arrive to continue our discussions re: setting up an online betting shop. BFN.

The powerful search facility we employ here at The Sports Exchange has an astonishing 9 pages of links to BETFAIR, the exchange the punters love to hate. There has been a tradition of betfair-bashing amongst the membership here, cant understand why.
Maybe someone can blog in and tell us?

Wazza call me on 07810-105157.

Off to The Art Exhition in The George at Pangbourne today. Have a bit of brunch at the same time. Shopping in Henley later.
Nothing to bet on today. Need to save my cash to invest in my new…

Please can someone explain to me what a bunch of Texas lawyers in ostrich-skin boots have to do with the High Court of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
This unwelcome and extra-jurisdictional intervention is damagingly frustrating the outcome of a commercial deal in the UK, entirely active within the UK and with agreements written in the UK under the… Continue

As the autumn mornings dawn darker and generally less inviting, abandon the early morning jog and and start the day with a spirited clearing of the frontal lobes - shake the brain cells into action - dust off the sluggish thoughts from last night - and pen a few lines on The Sports Exchange pages.
Incentives and PRIZES are… Continue

What a joy to see a world-class contest - its the GOLF, stupid - conducted without the entire commentary dedicated to CHEATING, CHICANERY, SPOILING, FUDGING and FRAUD.
Good for the Ryder Cup teams and organisers. Golf is not seen as a team game: feast on this and rejoice!
What a lesson to the self-servers and diddlers of football, cricket and other 'team' sports...

John (J2O, the sober member) asked the question:
How do people feel BETFAIR and the BETFAIR IPO will be affected by the
emergence of new exchanges such as SMARKETS, MATCHBET, and AIX?
Our best informed commentator member, Adonis the 1st, answered the question in unequivocal… Continue

I am pursuing my interest in opening a betting shop, probably in Goring. I am also looking at opening an online betting shop, Apart from that physio this morning. Phil worked me quite hard. Then I had lunch with my new buddy and social network guru, David. Very good and lots of new ideas. Busy day. Been taking it easy this afternoon and this evening. Chelsea playing tonight. They should win, but 4/11 too short for me.
