Sports betting is chastised and vilified everywhere now. Yet Brighton and Brentford are (rightly) constantly championed as magnificently run clubs. Yet in the mainstream media, it is never acknowledged that the brains behind their success are spawned entirely from odds analysis.

Casey Jarvis touched 20/1 before tee off. The prime Mustard mob would never have let this happen. Jasper reorganise your troops.

Who will write Steve Palmer's obituary when the darkest day comes? As the Racing Post falls apart, the one remaining talent ploughs on. Imagine being the person burdened with doing said life justice. Trifleface is probably hoping he snuffs it first.

The Mustard lads were (and probably still are) very good judges and ran the betfair market. But there was a brief crazy time when they started showboating and laid "The Rolfe Index" Would love to see the figures on that adventure.

Boxing the rare winner. All correct. Fight delivers as said on tin. Well done the #rogue sport.

Watching back both the fight and the interviews, it's impossible not to love Usyk isn't it? Not only a magician of a pugilist, but the way he's learned English and manages to be humble and humorous as heavyweight champion of the world. Some living that.

Darts is just very funny. A mixture of excellent sport, wholesome in places, yet also utterly ludicrous. The layers to the Chizzy match alone could be built into a well written sitcom. The miscount scene, if you gave the role of the scorer to someone hamming it up has potential.

Easily the worst opinion on the Constitution Hill v Lossiemouth clash is from pseudo shrewds claiming you can't possibly have a bet. It's permanently been 102% and swung around like a Saturday afternoon Big Daddy opponent. Of course you can have a bet!

3-1 Liverpool 94 mins gone, and you can bet no other goal at 1.35. Big Harry was on the phone taking 1.05 2002!

Was asked by my neice yesterday (now old enough to realise santa not real) has ever something been as disappointing. As a child I listened to Enya sing about Orinoco flow as if it was magic. Visited it in a couple of spots as an adult. #notmagical

As 2024 meanders into the past, please remember there is no need to be greedy. The very recent syndicate scandal featured a bright, capable individual. Like so many, he wanted more. Everything you need is behind the closed doors of your home. Chisel away contentedly.

Half why WhatsApp groups gagging to lay Proper Heiress due to being drawn in 6. Do not lay. Sensible break. Mess. Is a bet 11/8. And far from a lay. 6 48 go time. #mess

Not sine Ricky paid close to 50 bags for Scaglietti whilst probably secretly dreaming of winning the springbok, has the price of a dog caused such consternation and mirth.

ITV 4 saying Oli watching the masters. It's been some shadow for the golf that account.

Easily the most amusing thing about betting twitter is the congratulatory theatre you will receive if you nail an 11/2 winner in a boxing match up. Whilst if you napped the 11/2 fav of an 18 runner sprint, you'll have zero bouquets thrown at your feet.

Across the land it will sadly only be known as the 4.07 at Towcester. It should be live on the bbc. Instead we get Bill Werbeniuk v Graham Dott where the only interesting markets are the overs total pints drunk, and unders 16 breaks.

Star sports utterly beguiled by the Eubank Junior and Father reunion. Now bottle Benn again. Rumours Roland De Wolfe possibly in the corner and Lofty and Kaan signalling top of the head to the Guv.

Look at the theoretically available liquidity on betfair for the PGA championship. Over the last quarter of a century I've known numerous people (both pro's and recreational punters alike) deposit a lump to have a crack at one in a major to win 6 figures. Now half aren't allowed!

Tony Calvin would like you to know he works harder than Dirk Kuyt.

Superb night of greyhound racing ahead. Very grateful to the team behind Gone To The Dogs Live and Star for sponsoring. Without them the most magnificent canines alive would be running for a bowl of rice in front of just a handful of diehards.
