Today's Work

   Collected the Midweek coupons from 5 betting shops today (Billy Hill, Badblokes, Coral, Betfred and Scotbet). For the life of me I can't find a sharb in any of them. Nearest thing is on the Champiuons League finals, but even those would have to move by a good half point to lock in profits. I will have to keep my eye on the Sharb forums - they may not even exist.

   Elsewhere I've applied for 3 freebies. Why are make-up manufacturers and seed wholesalers so keen on doing freebies?

   Finally, I've signed up for Nectar's in house survey firm. They pay out in Nectar points - sweet!

Call me Compo

   15 competitions in the bank today and also put my name down for a new ITV quiz.

Comping Bank

   Banked half an hour of Comping time tonight. Probably got 15 to 20 in the bag. Have diarised Comps as a Saturday job for the rest of the year.

Gartmorn Dam

   Had a nice walk round Gartmorn Dam, Sauchie with a couple of my mates this morning. We discussed Sharbing. I think a target of mine this week should be to get at least one sharb in the bag.

Grand National Day

The Grand National is a complete lottery, everything from favourites to 100/1 shots have won it. Even so, it is a Sporting Event which cannot be ignored. Here are my bets and lays for today. Let's see how I do.

Placepot

1: 1,8,9
2: 3
3: 1,2
4: 4,7,12
5: 11,14,19,34
6: 4,8

10p lines equals a £14.40 stake.

Lays (all laid to a £100 liability on Betfair at SP):

1: 2,3,5,6.
2: 1,2,4
3: 3,4
4: 1,2,3,5,6,8,11,14
5: 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,12,13,15,17,21,22,23,24,25,27,28,29,30,31,33,35,37,38,39,40

I think the winner of the Grand National will come from:

Alfa Beat
Chicago Grey
Shakalakkaboomboom
According to Pete
Always Right
Cappa Bleu
Rare Bob
Sunnyhillboy
Swing Bill
Giles Cross
Vic Venturi

My 4 favoured are the ones highlighted in the Placepot selection. The Grand National is Race 5 of the card.

Good Luck.

Race against Zombies!

I love Business Unusual's new "Race with the Zombies" business idea. It is basically just the old game of Cat and Mouse for Adults. I think this is the sort of thing which would go great with the "Big Red Balls" idea I put forward a few months back.

Rangersagram

   Love the idea of setting up a "Rangersagram" service. For a small fee I could call a member of the great unwashed and spout bile down the phone to them. This is the sort of thing that would work!
