Blog: A Lost Weekend and a Darting Disaster
I’ve had a somewhat frustrating weekend to say the least. It should have been great but instead it feels like a lost weekend. Betting is a game I’ve played for years and yet it can still make me feel like an absolute chump. I made some very silly schoolboy errors which cost me badly and […]
Golf: The Scramble for Ryder Cup Places
The World Cup and Wimbledon will shortly fade into memory but 2014 still has plenty of great sporting action to keep us entertained and for sheer drama, it’s tough to match the excitement of the Ryder Cup.

The 2014 Betway Premier League Darts Championship is now 2 weeks in and has been notable for some tight games but it’s also left us wondering whether we are witnessing the decline of Phil Taylor. Opening fixtures against Michael van Gerwen and Adrian Lewis were never going to be the easiest but the Power lost both to wide […]
Six Nations Rugby: The half way stage…
It’s fair to say that as the Six Nations reaches its half way point, the table isn’t quite as we expected. Wales had been so strong in this tournament in recent years and after providing the majority of the victorious British Lions’ squad, another title seemed likely for Alun Wyn Jones’ men. However, an unconvincing win […]
