Football season has been disastrous, thus far, though I have not lost a penny.


Tuned in to Fulham/Vesta (sp) t'other night at 1/0 with 12 mins left and went to back over 2.5 Goals at, I assume, 7/1+ and Fulham scored as I was accessing my Betfair a/c. Then they scored again.


Then heard on Sat. Morning mention of Boro/Sheff Utd and thought "Bore Draw" and b4 I could think about backing "Draw/Draw" and 0/0-I discovered it was.


Out yesterday morning so was going to do Draw/Southampton and Draw/Draw in the Saints/Millwall match.

Not only did it come in but you could lay Saints short after backing them at 9/2 ( Draw/Saints).


To complete a "Foursome" predicted WBA/Draw and Newcastle/Draw both at 16/1 .


So thats a 7/1 followed by 11/1 followed by a 4/1 ( Millwall-Draw/Draw) followed by a 16/1 and not on any of them as I was out.( apart from Fulham/Vesta which I missed by seconds......:X

I have backed

Championship: Ipswich (backing Keane to succeed) and Cardiff (Dave Jones a good manager)

Lge 1 : Colchester (Paul Lambert a former Celt starting off on the managerial ladder gets off to good start with 7-1 win)


Premiership - very difficult to call - any of the top 4 could win it. Think Arshavin could be the new best foreign player for Arsenal. Chelsea not sure what Anciolotti will achieve, too risky to bet on them (as with Scolari). MU will miss Ronaldo and don't think Owen will make up for that, Liverpool can win if they can keep up their form from last thinrd of last season when they were more attacking.

With all these uncertainties it seems its best to wait until a few ganes in to see how they start.


Scotland - the odds on Celtic are too short but believe they have better players than Rangers and Mowbray will hopefully get better from them than GS. 1.8 a bit short though unless betting big.

Tiger went 5 under for the front nine to move from -7 to -12 to take a 2 shot lead but Paddy has hung in there and is back in the lead:

Paddy -11 Woods -10


Paddy's the only golfer who can handle Tiger on the final round.


Have had a small hedge on Tiger now that his odds are lengthening but its Harrington for the big win.

I have ?20 on Mastercrafsman in case sea the stars does not run or does not like the ground - also he has to lose eventually.

I'm def not in profit for last 3 months Quids. A pretty big dent in my annual profit - I have been keeping my records from the USPGA last year. Despite winning ?330 on MU i am still down for the last few months.

Pleased with the golf Harrington has had a fantastic 16 holes has closed to one behind Woods. Looks like they will be out together tomorrow and Harrington likes to play with Tiger. Have 30 on Padraig at 16s so may be seeking Quids advice on how to maximise my opportunities tomoz.

Not yet Quids. The trouble is I think Harringtons odds are too generous and I don't want to offer those odds. And with the possibility of winning close to ?500, taking 30 or 120 feels like giving an opportunity away. (I'm predictable as always).

I hope they will come together at some point - if they do I'll back Tiger - he may be about 1.7 then. That way a ?50 bet on Tiger will cover my stake with a Tiger win and all upside on Harrington then.


Of course if Tiger makes the best start then he will probably go on to win and I won't have hedged, so I'm hoping Padraig out ahead of Tiger will make an early birdie. Of course I'm assuming its between Padraig and Tiger, I'm ignoring the others.

I also have ?20 on Rory at 66/1 but it seems his chance has gone now.

That useless besterd Micky Owen would have got my United money back as I laid "Under 1.5 Goals" at very short odds.

I only needed a "0/0" until the 40th Minute and I would have been o.k.


Still, on the bright side I got it all back by Laying Liverpool @ 5/4 and I backed "Time of 1st Goal-41/50 Minutes" which, of course, it was....so no harm done Guys..,,:-$

Actually the United result was fairly predictable Quids.


Did enough to win but haven't the potency of recent years but enough to beat the likes of Brum.


Brum likely not to score so low-scoring United win about right.


I did Draw/Unitedbut laid them @ 1.25 i.e. odds of 1/4.


Liverpool at 5/4 looked a big lay but due to being well down, overall, on the day at the start of the match I could not get as involved as much as I would like.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
