Oh dear the sporting press are really going crazy - by press we don’t strictly mean the press per se, just anyone loosely connected to sport. Nay, here at Bodog Towers we are veritable bloodhounds when it comes to tales of the sporting fraternity. One teeny weeny snifter at 200 paces and we’re there! Aye, that and having a hotline to the great and the good of the sporting world. Indeed!

Take that Fabio Capello for example, can we stop him once he gets going? No lad we can’t, he’s just like one of those blessed foreign exchange students wanting to practice his English on anyone who’ll listen. It’s got so bad that we’ve started off-loading him onto the work experience …

Ah, June, the finest month of the year! Named after the Roman goddess Juno, noble wife of Jupiter and proud mother of Mars and Vulcan, it is also the month of the longest daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere but today the sun shines for one very special character: it is Donald Duck’s birthday! The legendary leader of the Quack Pack is still waddling away at 74.

We raise our wings.

It is possible that the Korona Casino in Slovenia ended its Summer of Fun poker tournament yesterday as they didn’t want to clash with any celebrations to mark the University of Oregon’s mascot’s birthday: we respect that.

They might have surmised that on such a momentous day, players may be distracted and …

OK, welcome to another instalment of our Tournament Tips column. You may remember that last week we discussed strategy for the final table assuming a reasonable stack size and a good chance to take the crown.

Well, we round off the series with a look at what to do if you are a titch residing in places 8-10.

The bad news – you are odds against and you are going to be bullied. You’ll need a combination of well timed cards, balanced decisions and mistakes by your fellow small-fry to stand a chance of moving up the places.

Luckily, the stresses of a long tournament and the unique game play of the final table usually produces plenty of mistakes. Have a look at …

Oooh he’s a right classy sod that Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s got the moves on the pitch alright but he’s a right proper oil slick off it, and nay we don’t mean that in the most flattering way! So the bit of alleged gold-digging stuff that is the new girlfriend Nereida Gallardo must be a bit miffed that the Man U golden boy is scrimping out with a recycled ring for their loving union!

Yes you heard it hear first the other day, Ron and new missus are allegedly tying the knot although the crafty bugger said he’d only do it if Portugal won Euro 2008 - nothing like a nice get out clause. But Ron’s none too generous when it …

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few weeks you’ll know that we’ve all been suffering from football fever! As the magnanimous lot that we are, we never disappoint when it comes to our Bodog Girls. This time we have the sublime Angelique dazzling us with her footy skills. Cor blimey the girl has some talent and as you will see is rather good at playing a hot game of football with herself!

All we can say is, is it flipping legal to have goalkeepers this hot?

If this doesn’t make you want to sink some cash into Euro 2008 we don’t …

Football just aint what it used to be.

We´ve had some heated debates at Bodog HQ about the quality of TV punditry so far at Euro 2008 and the game in general. So we´ve drawn up four quick-fire solutions to help get us back to basics.

1. Get rid of Gary Lineker and bring back the man with the massive mandible - Jimmy Hill.

The BBC seem to think we are interested in listening to tanned Lineker´s one liners and wisecracks. He can save that for when he is charming the tanga off that 25-yr-old bird he´s grabbing hold of.

We want football without the frills. Blazer and tie stiff Hill - is the man to give it to us.

2. Bring back Saint and …
