My number one rule for gambling is to borrow the expression from microeconomics and "think at the margin."

If I deposit $100 and soon find myself down to $65, I don't try to win back my money to...

Hi mate, that doesn't sound safe at all.

I'm sorry your Collingwood -4.5 bet fell short, and but such a ridiculously small margin!

So that's 9 in a row for the underdog in Collingwood games?

Yeah, great field! I'm still recovering from Patrick Cantlay's playoff defeat in the Phoenix Open last week. I had backed him at 17.5 and didn't hedge because I hadn't been paying attention. ...

I thoroughly enjoyed the FA Cup action last weekend. Nothing beats a good cup upset!

This EPL round looks fantastic on paper. The games I have my eye on are:

Brighton v Crystal Palace
Great...

Hi Irish Punter,

Here's my best attempt at answering your questions.

A) I'm not aware of any minimum bet guarantees for UK/Irish racing. The only guarantees in place are for Australian racing,...

Yeah and not long ago Tottenham were rubbish too. City, Liverpool and Chelsea look a cut above, then Arsenal & Tottenham look competitive in the race for fourth.

The covid disruptions will be...

They've been made harder to predict by covid. The Brentford v Man Utd game has been postponed while Brighton, Tottenham, Leicester, Aston Villa and Norwich have all had confirmed cases.

Yeah,...

The title race is shaping up nicely between Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool. I backed Chelsea at the start of the season but now I couldn't pick the winner out of those three.

The race for fourth...

I know your pain Farraj90! I have no interest in the international break fixtures either.

We have an interesting round coming up given the new managerial appointments. Norwich, Newcastle, Aston...

I enjoy watching both. I particularly love alpine skiing (downhill top favourite) but it's become difficult to watch in Australia since Eurosport is no longer available to us.

Well spotted Casper! Winning the toss was far too important during the tournament. Australia only lost the toss once and were beaten by England. Every game between Pakistan, NZ and India in Group...

Agreed. The Japanese were wonderful hosts.

I'm always wary when bookmakers take a position. 80% of turnover yet 1.70 odds...

Man U bounced back with that win over Tottenham, but Spurs were absolutely awful. I reckon United fans will be nervous ahead of their City clash this weekend.

Crystal Palace v Wolves should be a...

Yeah that was an awful result, especially given their rivals Liverpool swatted aside Watford 5-0 the week before. Dominic Calvert-Lewin can't come back from injury soon enough.

Some other...

I've changed my mind. I now feel more sorry for Spurs!

Part of that source of light could be this weekend's fixture. A win over Tottenham would put smiles on their faces!

Yeah, it's interesting how far Arsenal have fallen. I used to love watching them during the Henry, Bergkamp & co era. That squad played some of the most beautiful football I have ever seen. Fast...

Yeah, the signing of Ronaldo changes the landscape a bit! I'm sticking for now with what I said in August. History is stacked against reigning EPL champions and Man City might prioritise the...

At the moment I'm in the Chelsea camp, with City and Liverpool the other major contenders.

It looks like the gold medal race between China and the United States will come down to the wire. Because the USA has more silver medals in the tie-breaking rule I chose to hedge my gold medal bet...

To continue my theme of backing short-price favourites, I will side with the USA in the men's basketball final against France. There will be an element of revenge in this one after the round robin...

For those into medal betting, FiveThirtyEight has a neat medal tracker, which shows how many medal events remain for each country:...
