It brings new meaning to the words sticking one in the back of the net. Aye Cristiano Ronaldo is well versed at doing this and his tactics off the pitch are just as well documented. But it seems that one particular bird may have bagged him, girlfriend Nereida Gallardo or that bit of rough as we like to call her. (Face it she’s not the finest looking filly in the Ronaldo coupling stable).

We reckon that the Man Utd Lothario’s dick may well stay in his pants for the foreseeable future anyway because she’s bleeding well rumoured to be wearing a rock the size of Majorca where she hails from. Onlookers said they spotted the ring on her engagement finger …

Now that Mel B has had enough of TV tripe Dancing with the Stars or whatever crap she was fannying around to, she’s decided to re-focus her attempts at a singing career. We’re not being funny but when will ex Spice Girls realise that they are a vocally talentless lot? It’s bad enough Victoria Beckham went on for so long polishing a turd but Mel B get a grip! You’re no good - in fact she’d be better off entering the Big Brother 9 (or Big Bother - as we lovingly refer to it in the Bodog office!)

But the motor mouth thinks that she may have found the secret weapon in serial yo-yo dieter Janet Jackson who she hopes will …

Yes, its official Bodog Beat is packing its bags and getting out of town. Come June 13th we’re heading off to Waterford for a glorious weekend in sunny Ireland. Why? Because it’s The Bodog Waterford Open for God’s sake!!

We’re pleased as punch, nay chuffed as hell because it’s our first sponsored event in Europe and we’ve got together with Ireland’s leading poker events company Big Slick Events.

The No Limit Hold’em main event action kicks off at the Majestic Hotel in Tramore and will also host a series of side events with the prize pool an estimated €120,000.

Buy in for the main event is €500+50. They say the best things come in threes… …

With the multi-event World Series of Poker underway at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, some might think the gloss has been removed from some of the European events. The WSOP, with its 4 month gap, runs from May 30 to November 11 and will attract plenty of big names.

However, such is the popularity of the game that there is still plenty of action available across the continent for a wide range of budgets.

Take the May Showdown at the Perla Casino and Hotel, Slovenia. This jamboree of international players, scouting for chips, provided five mid range tournaments, including the increasingly popular NLHE Turbo game. In these games, the blind levels change so quickly that players are forced …

Two weeks ago I paid a painter 220 quid in advance to paint the front of my house. He started it and then naffed off leaving the job half done. I´m not sure what´s worse. Being stuck with a half painted house or the feeling that he has played me for a fool. I paid this bloke in good faith and he let me down.

There is a parallel to be drawn between my experience with the painter and having what I would term a bad bet. I backed a golfer to win his three-ball a couple of weeks ago. Monitoring his progress on the internet I noted that he started his round by bogeying the opening par 5 that …

It’s been a long time coming but Wayne Rooney and his chavvy mates have kicked off his Stag as the wedding to Miss Asda aka Colleen McLoughlin gets ever closer.

We’re not sure what Fergie thinks of the first stop on the tour but we’re positive he’s not been invited. Wayne and chums arrived on clubbing playground Ibiza a couple of days ago to stay in a rather expensive villa near Ibiza Town.

Ibiza is a bit of a home from home for Bodog Beat and many a time we’ve stumbled out of a club in broad daylight after a few exotic cocktails like the Turbo Shandy (1 pint beer, 1 bottle Smirnoff Ice).  But despite having a bit of a reputation as …
