Golf and Hollywood Poker Play Update

July 21, 2008

Hi Folks, Been busy putting together my real estate marketing blog on a new server with a new template so the sports news, views and tips have been put on hold. What a week with the Great White Shark almost pulling off a fairytale win at the British Open this weekend. If nothing else, it just goes to show up the poor level of technique that the modern golfer has today.

It’s all about the equipment and the level of actual skill is very mediocre as a 53 year old part timer led The Open going into the final round. Greg Norman would ultimately fade away to a respectable third place finish behind the now two time winner Padraig Harrington who joined an elite group of golfers in successfully defending his British Open crown.

MLB Betting has been put on hold with most of my spare gambling time being used up at the Hollywood Poker tables. I’m still well in the black but i have “thrown away” about $200 from frustration that you tend to experience.

Balance is currently $666.16 and I’m playing a $20 and $30 one table SNG as i type this post. Had to deposit $25 to make a withdrawal and cleared a $50 bonus easily, so i basically have the same amount of winnings that I had a week ago. Which is a bit of a shame because I did get the balance up to 883 a few days ago before the wheels fell off.



Monday Night NRL Betting

July 14, 2008

Monday Night NRL Betting between Wests Tigers and defending premiers the Melbourne Storm at Campbelltown Stadium in Sydney’s south-west has the Storm a red-hot favourite with online bookmakers.

However, Monday night football does have a tendency to see the outsider get up and with the Tigers desperate for the points after dropping out of the top 8 last week i’m tipping Wests in a minor upset here.

The Storm do have the runs on the board winning 4 of their last 6 against the Tigers who are coming off the bye.

Nadal World’s Most Unsporting Sportsman

July 8, 2008

Wimbledon Champion Rafael Nadal has claimed the title of the world’s most unsporting sportsman with his performance at this year’s Wimbledon Championships. In what is surely a significant, and remarkable triumph for the brilliant Spaniard, he let himself down badly with the total disrespect shown to Roger Federer, the game of tennis itself and the history of the game not to mention the monumental achievement of one of the games greats in Bjorn Borg.

Wimbledon got its dream final, Nadal v Federer on Centre Court with Borg in the stands as Federer chased a history making victory.

Unfortunately, Nadal chose this moment to write his own place in history. The Wimbledon Championship final was ready to get underway and Nadal was nowhere to be found.

How on God’s green earth can you not be ready to walk out on centre court for The Wimbledon Final?

This may well have been a match winning strategy. Nadal did go on to write his name in the history books as the 2008 winner and the match will be remembered as one of the classics as both players played their part in producing a classic match, undoubtedly on the greatest stage of them all.

Certainly, his antics have hardly been mentioned by the adoring press. Just shows the quality of journalism out there today. A lack of intestinal fortitude best describes the tennis writers of today.

Nadal could not have been more disrespectful to probably the greatest tennis player we are ever likely to see in Roger Federer. He could not have been more disrespectful to the game itself on such a grand stage. One of the games past champions in Borg or the public, both at the arena and those in TV land around the globe.

Nadal missed an opportunity to win over the tennis world. And it’s unfortunate because his go slow antics are probably the one thing that nobody respects. His late arrival and subsequent slow play which did earn one obligatory warning from the chair are typical of the lack of respect Nadal shows his opponents, the game and the paying public.

Now i’m certainly no great fan of Federer. However, I do respect what he has achieved and the way in which he carries himself both on and off the court. In a manner that you would want the #1 player in your sport to conduct himself is exactly what Federer does.

But Nadal…who i must say, had little trouble in playing at a fair and reasonable speed in the second half of the final after he had a 2 sets to love lead, he doesn’t really do much for me. Maybe it’s because i think he is the undisputed unsporting champion in a sport that has always been regarded as a game for gentleman.
