A Small Murphy's ... Maybe
I have nothing but admiration for the reunited Spice Girls.
Their music may have been atrocious, and you'd struggle
to find a greater collection of dogs outside of Battersea,
but their trailblazing work in the field of ginger acceptance
remains unsurpassed.
The minging quintet penetrated the public consciousness
to such an unprecedented degree that the entire English
language evolved as a result. The bints were slightly
embarrassed when the meaningless soundbite 'Girl Power'
made it into the dictionary, but the moth-eaten, passé,
semi-fossilised has-beens are rightfully proud of their
place in the official betting glossary.
The 'Baby' bet is the absolute certainty: it only goes down
on rare occasions. The 'Sporty' is the one that looked good
in the beginning, but on closer reflection; it could really go
either way. The 'Ginger' is the loose punt you only consider
after a few pints. The 'Posh' is the all-in mug's bet, where
you end up living on bread and water for a week, and the
'Scary' is a complete guess, like when Mel B reached the
'father's section' on her daughter's birth certificate.
I like to think that my ante-post football bets are straight
out of the 'Baby' drawer. Manchester United won the league
last season with Darren Fletcher, Park Ji Sung and
John O'Shea all playing a prominent role. The deadwood
will now be replaced by Hargreaves, Anderson and Wayne
Rooney's personal favourite, Nani. The 13/8 for the champions
retaining their title is an exquisite piece of business.
In the relegation market, I will be going in hard on Wigan.
The appointment of Chris Hutchings is probably reason
enough, but the signing of Titus Bramble is an absolute
clincher. Get on now at 11/8, or face a level of disappointment
unseen since Eddie Murphy last opened his mail.
I used to really enjoy playing cricket at school, but my
dreams of becoming a fast bowler were shattered by a
particularly cruel PE teacher. I still remember the day
he pulled me to one side and told me I had a disappointing
length.
The whole set up of the sport is fundamentally flawed
though; if I wanted a game to last five days I'd challenge
the wife to noughts and crosses.
The one-day international is a far more entertaining spectacle.
England have been priced up at 4/7 to see off the ineffectual
Windies in Sunday's opener; I'd be considering getting on if
KP was playing on his own.
Big Brother's Tracey remains a surprisingly popular figure
outside of the house. Celebrities to have spoken up on her
behalf include Eddie Izzard, Dana International and Hayley
from Coronation Street. Nice guy Liam can still be backed
at 9/2 for outright glory: that's an old fashioned shoo-in.
I find playing darts quite frustrating; there's nothing more
embarrassing than suffering a bounce-out when you're on
top. Paul McCartney refuses to watch an entire match; he's
just happy to see a couple of legs. Phil Taylor is a clear
favourite for the Las Vegas Desert Classic that kicks off
on Monday, probably because of his years of experience
at trying to get three in a bed. Barney is the new power;
get on at 5/2.Labels: Ante-Post Betting, Betting, Big Brother, Cricket, Darts
