Right, sussed it, if Ururagay beat Holland we're neutral on the first time lay whatever happens.... with the Spain bet possibly alive. If spain beat Germany the bet's still on whatever happens. So if Holland beat Uruguay and Germany Spain, bet Holland almost certainly for a neutral outcome. Still a free bet on Spain ;-)

No problem Quids. Tip 1: Australia to finish 3rd in tri-nations.

Oh dear - I have put my Germany winnings (from Argie game) on them to win the tournament. Could Paul be wrong for once....

A bet on Holland this morning means I'm only up for a very small loss if they lose, even with my first time winner lay (Spain still a nice little winner). I also had a small bet for Webb as Final referee at the quarter finals (2.4).


Just my stoooopid and spontanous lump on on Paraguay to beat NZ has cost me a decent profit on the tournament - spontaneous bets....GRrrrrrrrrrr.

I reckon NZ to beat SA by less than 12.5 points @ 2.76 is good value. SA haven't won in Eden Park since 1937 though because of rebuilding for next years WC the capacity is only going to be 17,500.Historically they have played 78 times and the average points difference is in NZ's favour but by less than 3 points. I reckon it will be close tomorrow too.

Outsiders only so far - running low on funds.


Ross Fisher 55 ?10.00

Darren Clarke 110 ?5.00

Zach Johnson 150 ?2.00

Shane Lowry 130 ?2.00


At shorter odds have now gone for ?20 on Harrington at 25s - usually gives you a good run and should be ok in the bad weather. Think Tiger is not quite there yet, so bad weather may knock his swing out a fraction. Rory to win would be a dream result, no need to bet to get a kick out of that, but might just check his odds after round 1, he is certainly too short at current odds.


Have added ?2 on Chris Wood and Gareth Maybin. Chris Wood has a good Open record and yet is 100/1 Gareth Maybin is 810/1 so that must mean he is really good too.

Thats because noone knows who is going to win....especially with the weather - best tactics for golf are to bet after round 2. Anyone within 5 shots has a decent chance and you still get decent odds for the chasing pack. Nice to have some interest for the first two days though.

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
