Piss off Sarah. He’s 16 and has done nothing wrong. I am more upset that he felt he had to apologise. You however are a horrible bully who should apologise for being an oxygen thief. P.S. Not once in my 76 years have I ever bought the Sun.
I am thinking, soon, of doing a question and answer session on EACH WAY betting both in outright sports event markets and in horse race markets. This is an area of weakness for the vast majority of punters, even winning ones. Please LIKE this tweet if you would be interested
My wonderful 20 year old cat Cleo has just died in my arms. I am unbelievable sad but I knew it was coming and I had a vet appointment for Tuesday to put her to sleep. Please forgive me if I am not my usual self for a day or two.
I highly recommend SHAMELESS ( U.S. ) on Netflix. Considerably better than the original English version. William H Macy is brilliant as Frank and the other actors and actresses are very good. So good I’ve watched nearly 50 episodes in a week. Give it a try now.
David Walliams. 💩💩💩💩💩💩
Mrs Browns Boys 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
The BBC have totally lost the comedy plot.
Oh for the days of Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, The Thick It, Yes Minister, Only Fools and Horses, The Royle Family, The Office etc
The government must not bail out Virgin Atlantic or indeed give it any assistance whatsoever. The Virgin Group have made it perfectly clear that they will do anything to pay the minimum amount of tax in the UK. Let Branson raise any money he needs elsewhere or let VA go bust.
I’m going to take a Twitter break for a little while. Thanks to all those who have interacted so positively with me, it has been much appreciated through a period of dodgy health. I am doing much better now and I want to spend more time with friends and business colleagues
The bad news: Sadiq Khan says it will take 10 years to deal with violent crime in London. The good news: It will only take 18 months to make sure he will no longer be London mayor.
Unpopular Opinion? Greta Thunberg is a monumental pain in the arse who should now be back in in school getting educated and letting those with much more knowledge, experience and climate change expertise advise governments and individuals
For the first time for a long time I had some really positive health news yesterday. Seems I might be around to piss off people who thoroughly deserve it for longer than expected. 😂😂😂😂
I just received a notification that I will get a winter fuel payment of £200 which I do not need so I have made a further donation of that amount to Age Concern.
Now after squeezing every last penny for the Farewell Frankie tour Dettori now off on the Fuck Off Frankie tour to America. Can’t wait to see the back of the greedy little shit. Well played Listowel for not falling for it.
Aintree will be better than Cheltenham now for years to come:
More competitive top class racing:
Friendlier and less of a rip off for attendees
Selfies with Gordon Elliott
Vastly less bullshit Preview Evenings.
Really looking forward to it.
Betfred have just told us that in the shops they are not paying out on Portsmouth until the season is finished. Just another example, if you did not already know it, that shop punters are treated as third class citizens.
Very sorry to hear that John McCricrick has died. He has looked desperately ill for some time and my thoughts go out to his wife, affectionally called “The Booby” by him who was his rock. He was outrageous, entertaining, enthusiastic and a one-off.
After 18 very happy years Frodo was put to sleep today at the vets. He was the kindest cat and always my companion and him and his sister ( still in fine health ) a great comfort during lockdown. I am beyond sad but will always be thankful for having had him as a pet.
Captain Tom Moore has currently raised £4.7 million for NHS charities and the total is still rising fast. Is it not possible to award him a knighthood on his 100th birthday?
The people who want a 5 day Cheltenham Festival are the sort who would add Coke to a 40 year old brandy or single malt whisky and like their steak well done.
Ban all U.K. online casinos and U.K. access to overseas ones
Raise U.K. lotteries/scratch cards minimum age to 18 and max purchase £5 per time.
Ban FOBTs from all betting shops
Make it mandatory for online bookies to offer all online prices and markets to betting shop customers
If there is a demand for it ( at least 15 likes ) I will do a betting related Q & A session at 7pm tonight. Everyone is welcome to ask as many questions as they like. I have set aside 45 minutes if it takes place.
Due to long term agoraphobia I am used to being in my house alone and though I thrive on human interaction and love meeting people I will cope with months of self isolation much better than most. If a telephone call would help you when you are feeling down please DM for my number
Last season Premier League teams got £2.5 billion in central payments. How about this year allocate £3m to each Championship club, £2m to each League 1 club and £1m to each League 2 club. Total cost would be only £142m or 5.7% of the Premier League pot
Good morning.A close friend who has pancreatic and lung cancer and treatment thus far has failed has decided enough is enough and I concur with her wishes. Married 48 years and her husband is in bits but putting a brave face. Life is so cruel sometimes. Make the most of every day
As the U.K prepares to reduce social distancing to 1 metre Germany’s R rate has soared to 2.88 from1.79 the day before (
we are incapable of calculating up to date R rates ) Yesterday Brazil reported a record 54,771 new cases and the US 36,617. Are we fucking mad to ignore this?
Happy New Year to everyone who has put up with my rantings over the past year or even enjoyed them 😂😂 I am working on the Cheltenham card tomorrow as a labour of love and usually profit.
WHEN THE FUN STOPS STOP is the most insincere lying crap from bookies determined to take every last penny from mugs and invite well heeled ones to sports event hospitality so they can fleece them eyeball to eyeball. Glad FOBT limits will be drastically reduced, should be banned
Their is nobody on the entire planet that is better at Geography than Zeng. He has never given a wrong answer or failed to answer. Genius
#UniversityChallenge
So it seems my oft tweeted assertions that Wiggins (and Froome) are drug cheats are correct. My concerns re Mo Farah are equally strong and Britain should stop giving knighthoods to sportsmen with indecent haste after they retire
I’m determined to make the best of this nightmare of a lockdown alone at home with nobody allowed to come in. I might even start writing a book on my professional sports betting life and unique angles I have successfully exploited but then again I might not. I wish everybody well
Excellent - the FOBT stake limit has been confirmed by the government as £2. Well done! Let us see how many betting shops close now. Unless they offer all their website markets and identical prices in the shops I hope it is MOST of them as they are currently utterly useless.
Michael O’Leary mustn’t be allowed to coerce the handicapper to give Tiger Roll the Grand National weight that he wants for the horse. Personally I would give him 11 stone 12 lbs and if they decide not to run so be it. The race is about 40 horses not one

has supported Spurs loyally through good times and bad. Piers Morgan never stops bitching about Arsenal players and Wenger
95% of what you worry about that will happen doesn’t. Think of all the stress you felt unnecessarily. The 5% that does happen you are strong enough to deal with. Enjoy life in the present as best you can, be kind and appreciate your friends.
The worst mistakes losing gamblers make:
1. Betting at odds less than true chance due to being unable to price a market accurately to 100%
2. Confirmation bias
3. Poor staking plan
4. Chasing losses
5. Betting when stressed, drunk, or unwell
6. Failure to specialise and research
Southgate is a bang average international manager at best. England are an average international football team who consistently fail in important matches. Harry Kane is vastly over-rated for club and country. England won’t go near winning Euro 2020
#ENGSUI
. England aren’t a great team. England aren’t a good team. England are an average team. Southgate isn’t a great manager. Southgate isn’t a good manager. Southgate is barely an average manager.
What we should be talking about is that there is not one bookmaker deserving of praise. All talented ex odds compilers are now professional gamblers and bookmakers are no longer worthy of the name. Online casinos & rip off odds terminals and empty shops are the order of the day
Received first tranche of money from the government job retention scheme yesterday just a few days after my company’s claim. I am paying all furloughed staff 100% indefinitely despite zero income at the moment. Very impressed with how quickly the money was received.
Is anyone else bored to death with Frankie Dettori’s farewell tour? Oh for brilliant jockeys like Ruby Walsh who only announced his retirement after his last ride at Punchestown.
36 years ago I had an aquaintance who was a music composer prone to depression and with suicidal tendencies. One day I said to him “ It is very much better for you to be composing than decomposing” That was the first time I heard him laugh. He is alive today and doing fine
As in previous years (10 winning Cheltenham’s in the last 13 ) I have avoided all Cheltenham Preview night reports, all Twitter “tips“ all Road to Cheltenham blogs, and all interviews with trainers. I have done all my own research, looked at videos, respected trends and am ready
Feeling better now, had a phone call, hot shower, shave, few minutes on the treadmill and now about to prepare a very tasty breakfast. Many thanks for the kind messages.
. If you have 8 minutes to spare have a look at this amazingly talented guy, showing that nothing is impossible, and credit to his great mum. I’m off to dry my tears now.
Drug cheat and knighted tax exile Mo Farah, who will never be a top marathon runner, humiliated by the great Kipchoge. I just hope he wasn’t paid massive appearance money again.
#MoFarah
Note to all bettors: If you gamble responsibly you be restricted ( as an uneconomic account ) by all bookmakers. If you gamble irresponsibly you will be given every concession and encouraged to bet at every opportunity and probably given mug V.I.P hospitality. Wise up now!
It is a very long time since I last did a Question and Answer session on betting related topics. If sufficient people like this post I will aim to do one tomorrow. Please post any comments that you wish. In the meantime have a great day.
In the mid 60s just before calculators were invented and as an 18 year old I got a Saturday job as a settler including manually calculating returns on an EW heinz including a dead heat at 15/8. That’s when excellent mental maths skills were honed to lightning quick perfection.
A ridiculous idea by the Daily Mirror to strike medals for NHS staff. A much better idea is an immediate rise in wages and /or (say ) a bonus of £1,000 in due course for every worker who will need a holiday after all this is over instead of a useless piece of metal
Intensely annoying things:
1. McDonalds jingle
2. People who BOOM winning bets
3. People who use the word Remoaner
4. People who spell lose as loose
5. People who say they give 110%
6. Betting firms adverts ( all of them )
7. Donald Trump
8. Trying to find the start of clingfilm
In the middle of this unnecessary total preoccupation and feeding frenzy with the rights or wrongs of Dominic Cummings it seems that the lowest Sunday U.K. deaths figure for very many weeks is of only minor significance. Well, to me, it is the most important news of the day.
Shamima Begum should never be allowed back in Britain. She has no regrets whatsoever and wants to make use of our NHS and police protection at enormous cost. We must not set a dangerous precedent
Superb Peter Wright thrashes cocky and unlikeable Michael Van Gerwen 7-3 to finally lay his player and PDC World Championship bogey. I’ve never enjoyed a match more.
Wishing all my followers a wonderful Christmas and for all those who have interacted with me in the last year very many thanks for making my time here more enjoyable

Richard get help for your mental illness and when someone asks you a polite question either answer it nicely or if you have no answer just don’t respond
. Firstly no horses that ran the in the Grand National died, Saint Are is on his way home. Secondly if you had been looked after as well as the horses are when you were young you possibly wouldn’t be such a cunt now.
Yet again, another Grand National another poor horse carcass covered in tarpaulin. The last thing it felt was a whip, the last thing it heard was cheering from drunken chavs. I hope you all had a great time watching death, suffering and cruelty.

After a very difficult period where Mina and Dipesh’s baby was treated in an isolation ward for over a week for infection some good news today. Baby is now OK and all being well will be going home tomorrow afternoon. Mother is 100% now.
KENT are all out for 59 in their second innings. SOMERSET need 30 to win. I have no bet on this match but I am rooting like hell for all you guys who had faith in me and took prices from 3/1 up to 8/1 with bet365 on a SOMERSET win. They will be well clear in the Championship 💥💥
To those nasty people who accused Boris Johnson of faking Covid-19 I have nothing but contempt for you. Decent people have noticed he has not only looked unwell for some time but if anything looks worse recently. I wish him well and a speedy recovery but I am worried about him
Does anyone agree with me that when you receive a lovely handwritten letter through the post it is worth more than 100 e-mails and text messages or several phone calls. I have never thrown such letters away but it is so rare these days.
Brian Clough would have known how to deal with Paul Pogba. He would have him in his office on Monday morning, sit him down and have a chat with him for 20 minutes, they would then that agree Brian was 100% right and that would be the end of it. Jose Mourinho is no Brian Clough.
. What a hero and a great brother. He has more courage in his little finger than I have in my whole body. If you set up a gofundme page to get him and his family the holiday of a lifetime when the time is right for him I will make a substantial contribution.
🌲🌲🌲Seasons greetings to the friends I have made on Twitter, especially those who came to see me and the team this year, and to all those who have generously put up with my rantings and ramblings on Twitter. Hopefully I said at least something that helped or amused. 🌲🌲🌲
This is the happiest I have ever been approaching Christmas. My warmest best wishes to all my friends and followers for this oasis in the desert of despair. Things will get better for all of us and kindness will win through.
Somehow Alan Alger, from firm to avoid Betway,has convinced the media that bookies lost £250 million on the Grand National Please be assured that losses were very minor and some bookies won on the race. They are all around to take your money and direct you to their online casinos
Tottenham Hotspur F.C have announced that all players in their first team squad will take an 80% pay cut for three months. Of that half will be donated by the club to the N.H.S and the agreed deal will enable the 550 staff to be paid in full
BREAKING: Gigginstown House Stud says it will continue to support Gordon Elliott despite the "deeply regrettable" photo of the trainer. More to follow at
. David Maxwell is one of the nicest, most self effacing talented men you could ever meet. He is living his dream and his riding has considerably improved. Those of us who love the national hunt game really appreciate him being a part of it.
Everyone who speaks out about their mental health problems has the possibility of saving at least one life of a person who hears or reads their words. Just think of that, your illness and courage saved a life. Isn’t that awesome?
MVG. 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 humiliated, thrashed, destroyed 5-0 by Chizzy. Will not win another world title. Not in the same league as Phil Taylor even when he was well over 40 years old. I’ve said it here constantly over the last 2 years. Do you believe me yet?
FREE BET 3:30 PLU: EDEN DU HOUX. Around 5/2 on exchanges this 94 rated ptp on soft/heavy rates nearer evens. Escort’namix is rated just 79 and a bigger danger could be Debestyman (88) on its 2nd run. Eden Du Houx showed gears in its point to point and is a strong bet at the price
Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel and World F1 Champion Max Verstappen for saying they will not race in Russia if the Russian Grand Prix still goes ahead. Nothing from the rest of the drivers presumably until they are told what to do by their PR companies.
This poor boy has been left in a box. Every bone in his body is sticking out, his fur has been shaved off and he has urine scales all over his legs where he must of been kept in a filthy cage. Please help me find who has done this 😢He’s so loving ❤️40

@RSPCA_official
The lay Van Gerwen outright every major has produced a total profit over 18k. I hope the many tweets I’ve made on this point has convinced followers never to back him or better to lay him. He’ll never be the winning machine Phil Taylor was. My lay for the PDC worlds is complete.
. When you think of some of the the overpaid, entitled, childish, selfish Premier League footballers remember this amazing human being with so much empathy for a suffering little boy and that football has a really great ambassador
I would like to dedicate this amazing day and this OBE to my best friend, Bradley, my family and everyone else behind the scenes
