John Tuohy's Blog – July 2009 Archive (12)

Friendly tonight. Not sure if it is live on Tv, but you can watch on the internet. Matchebet have a market on it, so have a look. http://www.matchbet.com/



Arsenal and Reading fans might also like to know that we have a big charity match in Reading on Sunday lunchtime. Kick off 2.30pm. Gates open from about 10am.



Ex Arsenal v ex Reading raising money for a charity cancer. Lots of top players turning out, and I might even take my boots for a cameo/comedy appearance for 5… Continue

I see the membership has risen to 85. Excellent. The quality of the debate on the site and the chatroom has been excellent as well.



Can you all do me a favour. Email your friends/colleagues/sporting/gambling/business/social associates and invite them to join. No cost involved. I want to get the membership up to 100 and get that chatroom buzzing/beeping.



I would really appreciate if you can spare a few minutes out of your day to help me achieve this small… Continue

This might amuse some of you chaps who have not read it before.



Glen Alcoe btw I believe is the Legendary "Devilfish". Not yet a member of "The Sports Exchange", but will surely join when he gets his laptop out of "The Pawn Broker".

Anyone going? Anyone fancy anything?

Live on RUK for free at the moment.

Idle Chatter is the selection, and the favourite should be laid.

Well that is what they are saying on RUK, and that is good enough for me. Owned by Michael Tabor, ridden by Gerald Mosse, son of Galilieo, trained by John Hammond. Not bad racing for a Monday.

Any opinions?

FORMER Reading and Arsenal players are to meet in a memorial match at Reading Town’s ground next month.

Adie Williams, Mick Gooding, Jimmy Quinn and Michael Gilkes have already expressed an interest in playing for the old Royals.

Reading heavyweight boxer Michael Sprott is set to add some extra punch to the side.

And the squad will be boosted by Radio Berkshire presenter Tim Dellor and getreading columnist Ben Rice.

The match is being played at Reading Town’s ground in… Continue

Anyone fancy anything?

As some of you might have worked out we are talking about setting up a new "Betting Exchange"?



Why?



At the moment the market is dominated by Betfair, and let's face it they have got a bit complacent.



Number Two is BETDAQ. On the horse racing front they seem to do quite well. Lots of liquidity and action on the in running markets. Not to mention their excellent tipster DAQMAN. The sports side with the possible exception of Football has never really taken off. Not… Continue

Your last chance to sponsor.

My wife is running 5K for Cancer Research at the weekend.

Should be a laugh as she does not really like running.

Not that important really.



Just wanted to say a big thank you to all members. In particular the ones who have been adding posts and comments.



Fantastic stuff. Just what this site was designed for.



Please carry on with the posts and comments, especially today and over the next few days as I will be in London, and have limited internet access.



If any members would like to add events that would be great as well. Whether it be the 2nd test in The Ashes or… Continue

Been busy for last few days,

Will try and catch up with everything that has been said.

Quite a lot by the look of it.
