Wow Arsenal got lubricated!

3-1 … hhhmmm that’s a pretty decent scoreline if you are a Manchester United fan… I wonder if that’s not blown the stuffing out of Arsenal for the rest of this season? They had homeground advantage and they still couldn’t make it count. But on a happier note Egypt came through for me with a [...]

English Premiership predictions

Another big weekend of Premiership soccer is here with the Arsenal vs. Manchester United game likely to be a season -defining moment for these two powerhouses. It has been a good premiership season with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all pushing eachother hard – been quite enjoyable from a punters perspective as well with some [...]

Egypt in, Nigeria out

Well it has been a bit of a charmed run for Nigeria and it came to an end against Ghana in the AFCON semi-finals last night. Egypt however have looked brilliant and after crushing Algeria last night, they must be the favourites to bring home the silverware. 4-0 to Egypt is an impressive scoreline but [...]

And Nigeria delivers the goods as well!

It wasn’t a convincing performance and Nigeria played the last 10 minutes of extra time with just 10 men, but somehow they Super Eagles have snuck through to the semi finals… That means that my first pick Egypt take on Algeria and Nigeria gets Ghana. Would be brilliant (for me) to get a Nigeria / [...]

And Egypt are through!

I won’t lie – I was a little nervous when I switched on the TV and I saw that Cameroon were 1-0 up against Egypt. When it got to 1-1 I had this sneaky suspicion that Cameroon were going to get a breakaway goal and my AFCON cup pick would be blown out the water. [...]

Egypt and Nigeria so far delivering the goods

We tipped Egypt and Nigeria as the teams to watch in this years AFCON tournament and so far it looks like things are going to plan. (at least a little more to plan than Arsenals bid for silverware in the FA Cup!). Egypt have an interesting fixture against Cameroon and they’ll have their work cut [...]

“Arbitrage trading” guy is back as “WebEx Investments”

I see our friend that promotes his “Arbitrage trading” initiative is back and bashing off unsolicited e-mails to our mailbox. Remember that the Financial Services Board (FSB) told this guy to stop promoting his “investment ideas / system”. In previous dealings with him he informed potential clients that he was “too busy making money for [...]

Rossi to deliver in MotoGP?

It looks like the MotoGP experts are expecting a two-horse race this year with Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi being priced to slug it out. They’re both trading at 5/2 favourites with the bookies with Rossi seeming to edge slightly ahead depending on where you go and look. Jorge Lorenzo – 5/1 Daniel Pedrosa – [...]

F1 in 2010

Here’s the betting according to local sports betting operation World Sports Betting: Lews Hamilton – 2/1 Fernando Alonso – 3/1 Michael Schumacher – [...]
