In previous years the games between the ' Big 4 , or 5 ' used to be tight , but this season we have seen 8-2 , 5-3 , 5-2 and 3-3 in games involving City , Utd , Arsenal , Chelsea and Spurs. I have laid under 5.5 goals at 1.07 and under 6.5 at 1.03. Need an early goal or two!

Fake pound coins

I know this has been much discussed here in the past , but surely it can never have been worse than now? I reckon about one in five or six pound coins have been fake out of Quiz machines recently. The thing is that they are not even any good , very lightweight , with colour or inscription bad or fad...

Chez Reavie

The U.S PGA Golf Tour has started again for the year. This is the only area i consistently make money on. Its all about following an underated (and therefore overpriced) player or two. Back Chez Reavie every time he tees it up this season , he is 100/1 (bigger on betfair) for tomorrow's seasonal deb...

A few years ago there was a website that advised people to make easy money by laying all the squad players on each side in a football match to be first goalscorer ( Carling Cup Final?? ). It went belly up because they didn't realise that the winner got paid out and most of the non runners got their ...

"Not sure where your reference to 'Pot Black' has come from - was this in the script? It was most definately a GUAB."

re : I.D , messiah is right - i have it on DVD and it is Trev who exposes his complete lack of football knowledge by not knowing that Shadwell's best ever player is black - John pretends he cannot read the ' Pot Black ' quizzer as a cover , however the question is about Coronation Street not football.

warning - malfunction will lose plays and pays

Who is this warning on the front of machines for? - How can i heed this warning? Does this absolve the machine provider/maker from liability if it crashes when there is money in the bank?

High Street bookies paid out on Barry as an ' act of good will ' - maybe Betfair did likewise.
