At this stage you could be saying to yourself that plenty of blogs offer the same deal and ask just what makes this one stand out from the rest?
Well, a couple of things actually:
For one the blogs author Aiven actually bets on these picks himself, it’s not like he’s just offering advice without taking risks himself.

UK Betting Guide (Blog) Carnival #1
Posted in Other | No Comments »This is the first in a series of blog carnivals – hosted by UK Betting Guide (Blog) Carnival.
This month we take a look at the turmoil within the global economy – known by the news media and populations around the world as ‘The Credit Crunch’.
Credit Crunch – Betting Industry Affected?
Sam over at OLGB writes about how the Irish Bookmaker, Paddy Power, is cashing in on the woes of budget-and-nationalised airlines by providing odds on who will fold next. (A bit sad really considering that some of these airlines, such as Alitalia have been going for ages.) – Google has recently launched a new labs project named “In Quotes“. In Quotes allows you to compare quotes between the two 2008 US Presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama.

So, the two US Election candidates literally have nothing to say, according to Google “In Quotes”, or ‘Mums the Word’ (Meaning: Keep quiet – say nothing) In the true spirit of the “web”, writers who blog about betting/gambling trends, issues and subjects are joining to launch a blog carnival to share information and resources related to UK Betting Online. The brainchild of Bryan Kelly, who blogs at UK Betting Guide, “UK Betting Guide Carnival” will feature submissions around rotating themes related to, well, betting. The carnival will cover a broad range of topics, including sports betting, UK casinos, poker betting, playing Bingo, betting tips and strategies, and hopefully a whole bunch more. Blog posts will appear the first Monday of each month – so remember… I get by with a little help from my friends over at Google Insights to try and answer the question: Miss World Popularity Around the World – who is the favorite Miss World to win the “Bikini Festival of the World”? The 2008 Miss World contestants included in this survey were: Popularity by Country Google Insights for Search makes retrieving this data really easy. We looked a the ‘regional interest’ for each contestant and have included the neat heatmaps generated to visualize this information.“Mums the word” – John McCain and Barack Obama silent on ‘gambling’

Can Natalie du Toit break the 56 Year drought?
Posted in Other | No Comments »The Olympic Games in Beijing started today, promising sixteen days of world class track and field action.
South African swimmer Natalie du Toit, whose left leg was amputated below the knee in 2001, carried the South African flag at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games today.
Wow! What an achievement! Natalie is only the 2nd athlete in history with a disability to compete in the Olympic Games. The last amputee to win an Olympic medal was Hungarian pistol shooter Karoly Takacs, who won gold at the 1948 and 1952 Games.
The last time an amputee won a medal…
