Words About Things

If you ever watch television then it can’t have escaped your notice that you can now play bingo online. There must be quite a crossover between people who watch Coronation Street and those likely to play bingo. Each ad break seems to feature at least one ad for online bingo. The stereotypical Coronation street watcher and bingo player would be a middle aged housewife I guess. Seeing as I am neither middle aged or female I have never played Bingo. The fact that Coronation street is actually one of the funniest programs on TV got me wondering if other things I had dismissed were also worth a try.

I’m acually more of a fan of sport betting (in particular football betting) but my predictions for last weekends Arsenal match were way off target so perhaps I should look for other ways to battle the odds. Online poker is fun but quite complex so perhaps I will have to give in a try online bingo.

Strictly Come Dancing odds

Who will win Strictly Come Dancing? It may be too soon to call it but the bookies odds show who are the favourites so far. Will Ola and Andrew Castle beat Austin Healy and Erin Boag? Will Rachel Stevens out dance Tom Chambers? Does anybody care?

Well yes people do care and if you are reading this far I guess you are one of those people. I do watch because quite frankly I stand very little chance of changing the channel as my girlfriend is addicted to strictly. Also some of those dancers are pretty hot.

bet365 have the Strictly Come Dancing odds available on their online betting site for those who would rather place money on the outcome of a nifty Salsa than on online bingo or horse betting. If you fancy a punt here are the odds for each celebrity to win:

1. Austin Healey 3.25/1

2. Tom Chambers 4.5/1

3. Cherie Lunghi 5/1

4. Rachel Stevens 5/1

5. Christine Bleakley 11/1

6. Lisa Snowdon 15/1

7. Jodie Kidd 41/1

8. Mark Foster 51/1

9. Andrew Castle 81/1

10. John Sergeant 81/1

11. Heather Small 101/1

I came across an interesting story recently on a betting blog called LoadedDice. The star of the story is a man called Ashley Revell, a man who is either very brave or very stupid (it’s often a fine line). Mr Revell had always liked gambling being a fan of online poker and online casinos. One day he decided to try his luck at a real casino in Las Vegas. Nothing unusual there until you take into account that he put his entire life savings on one spin ouf the roulette wheel. Having sold everything he owned except his best suit Mr Revell got on a plane to Las Vegas.

The story could go one of two ways. Ashley Revell could go down in history as a very unlucky man who lost everything or as someone who took on the casino and won. Luckily he didn’t play online roulette so the results where filmed for all to see. Revell planned to set up his own online gambling business if he won. I wont ruin the surprise for you…here is the video:
