The best live betting sites
Jun 26th
You stumbled on this website because you have an interest in live betting. Before you go on your way take a look at the poll on the right. Who has the best live betting experience? I figured Betfair would win just for the breadth of coverage but the user experience is continuously improving. Bet365 have to be a strong contender as well. What’s your opinion? Is live video streaming important or do you just want best price?
I’d really appreciate your vote and you can leave a comment at the end of this post if you like on why you made your choice. Many thanks…
When love comes to town
Jun 11th
How many bookmakers would have picked up on this? You can’t beat getting some inside information like this.
“And don’t even get me started on Sergio García, the talented boy wonder I took with my first pick this year. Then Greg Norman’s daughter dumped him. Last week, Garcia told a British tabloid that she was his first love and he has been in a funk since.”
It’s from an article on the NY times article on fantasy golf.
My other favourite was the one about the Eastern European Olympic skater. She got married in the off season, her surname changed of course and she came back and quite a few UK bookmakers priced her as an outsider. They don’t get caught out much though – hence why you have to celebrate the occasional screw-ups!
Britains Got Talent Live Betting
May 27th
Is it just me or is it more enjoyable betting in running on TV talent shows than some football games? As well as performance you have to weigh up sentiment, contestant background, the make-up of the voting audience and other factors (including sex, race and religion if we were all being honest) that the UK TV audience uses to make their voting decisions.
Based on reading the above factors, I took a 100/1 punt on Stavros Flatley getting through their semi-final. They came top of the public vote I laid if off to lock in a £400 profit (I won’t mention the loss on DJ Talent but I did get 2000/1 – he nearly made it!).
Stavros is now 10/1 to win outright on Paddy Power. If he does I’ll be kicking myself for laying off so much but as with all talents shows, the public likes to have at least one joke act in the final but things tend to get more serious on the night.
Paddy Power tend to lead the way on novelty bets. Check out the novelty bets section in the left hand navigation on their site.
My tip? Whoever’s in the final bet on the one that the Mum’s and daughters will be voting for. I’m not sure if Susan Boyle will last the pace so their is a good lay opportunity there (you know what I mean). She is slightly mad and that could either annoy or endear. I guess Simon Cowell has written the script already but who knows, maybe Stavros will do it on the night?! We all love our comedy cockney diamond Dad geezers with a Greek twist…
Live Betting: Ladbrokes Marketing

There’s something very cool about jockeycam footage! It caught my eye in this Ladbrokes betting campaign and I never notice sportsbook banners.
