There is another charity game kicking off at 10.30am. Admission is free but donations accepted. The bar will will be open all day. I would guess from about 10am, and I… Continue

Chantilly.

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.

The New Betting Exchange.

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

Bit more tennis stuff.

Cheers Boys. No strong view on Murray as I only watched some of it last night.



Karlovic sell. Like him as a player. Normally does Ok till he meets someone who wins more points on first set tie break.



Sell now or before tie break starts. Get rid of place portion.



Djokovic no way. Lostum plotum. Should beat Haas tomorrow, but Haas does like the odd five setter. Fed or Murray Mint should kick his bottom.



AM will beat JCF. Don't think anyone has told JCF… Continue

Sport.

We're down to the final 16 in both the men's and ladies' singles and Monday promises some mouth-watering ties including a rematch of the French Open final between Roger Federer and Robin Soderling, as well as defending champion Venus Williams against former world No.1 Ana Ivanovic.

The seventh day of Wimbledon 2009 will also feature Dinara Safina, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, Serena Williams, Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Murray.

Match finished 3-3 and England won 5-4 in pemalty shoot out. The goalkeeper scored one of the penalties but will miss the final for impersonating a boxer.



Last time England won a penalty shoot out was against… Continue
