The world has been witnessing the increasing violence in Bahrain, and with that F1 needs to make a decision as to whether the Bahrain GP should still go ahead. Bernie Ecclestone has stated that he thinks it should go ahead on the 22nd April 2012. I immediately thought this was highly insensitive, but on closer reflection there are strong arguments for both sides. At present, there is no betting online for this event, so one can’t even go there to gauge public opinion.

On the one hand, it would seem the most obvious thing to cancel the event on the 22nd April 2012. Bahrain has been the centre of attention for us all, and we have all been concerned over the news reports and images being shared. It would be no surprise to the online sports betting world if that race was cancelled. F1 could easily take to the view not top be associated with type of country.

One the other hand, one can argue that issues like these, are precisely what huge sports like F1 should get involved with. It has been noted that Bahrain has showed no willingness to change, with regards to human rights and democracy etc. There is a strong argument that with all the publicity, media, and visitors that will be present for the F1 racing, the Bahrain Government will be forced into fast forwarding changes the world wants to see. Although I am betting online traders will be expecting the race not to ahead, if public opinion does not change soon.

Personally, I would cancel the Bahrain GP. The government has been ruthless so far and have made little or effort to make changes promised for months. They have disregarded the United Nations and calls from Western Countries to stop the violence against their own people, so I have very little hope that Ecclestone and F1 will be able to change anything. Online sports betting for the Drivers and Constructors Championships remain the same at Bet365, with Red Bull remaining favourites.

It seems that almost every Online Bingo site is jumping at the chance to join in with the Valentine’s Day buzz, and one of the most highly-talked about ones, appears to be 888ladies £180 ‘True Love Tuesday’ giveaway, where one lucky player will win a cash prize with just a 1p stake at 9pm.

Well, it has been five months since I updated this little corner of the web, the reason being it has been five months since I even looked at my bats (other than to move them out of the way when trying to get to stuff in the spare room that is). All that changed today though.My lovely, Read the rest of this entry »

The regular reader of this crappy little blog will know that I have a thing for Mizuno. For me they are a perfect blend of technology and design yet don’t fall into the trap of appealing to the club captain at the local private course. I like the fact that they aren’t as popular Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been looking at Mizuno’s new marketing and I’m a little confused. Their latest adverts depict a Manga-like, cartoon character playing like a hero with their stunning new JPX800 clubs. The advert is very cool, really interesting and will make no sense to anyone over 40 Read the rest of this entry »

After the last article about my mate having around £200 to spend on his new obsession I got thinking about what he could buy if money were no option. I realise that there is probably no limit to how much that could be spent so I decided to have a poke around my favourite online Read the rest of this entry »

I received a text from a mate last night asking what clubs I owned as he was thinking of taking up golf. I was excited naturally – another lost soul to trudge around a muddy field with, both of us aiming with perfection but settling for a decent lie in the rough or a favourable Read the rest of this entry »

So the Ryder Cup was eventually won by Europe. Well done Monty and the boys, you did the continent proud (well most of you – yeah I’m looking at you Molinari brothers – grrr). Not trying to sound too cheesy here but the big winner in my opinion was the game of golf itself.When Read the rest of this entry »

I mentioned in a previous post that I now have a beautiful Kangaroo from Daphne’s adorning my Mizuno driver. My lovely, lovely fiancée highlighted the fact that if the cover isn’t turned the right way the cute image is completely shattered (below)!!! Read the rest of this entry »

Tiger Woods is so important to golf, golf magazines, golf blogs and golf sponsors that the fact he has decided to grow a little goatee beard (below) is now news apparently. Is this how far we have sunk, chattering like housewives because he decided to sport some facial hair for the Read the rest of this entry »
