Rob’s departure has left Gamblers Anon with a gaping hole as wide the gap in class between Manchester United and Tottenham. However his last act as Beaver Sports Editor proved to be his golden touch. From nowhere we scored massive hit with our punt on the Bandy World Championship game between Mongolia and Hungary.
The game was disrupted early on by heavy snow but Mongolia still managed to streak into a 2-0 lead before the Magyars showed their hunger to even things up in the first period. However the snow abated, perhaps due to “a prayer from the Mongolian priest and coach” according to the official cup website, allowing them to secure a 9-2 trouncing and leave their, and our, dignity firmly intact. To say this was well received by members of the office would be like saying Spurs only have minor deficiencies, a complete lie. My head is still sore.
Sticking to the Asian Continent we are going to smack £10 on Mahendra Doni to smash a century in India’s One Day International match against Sri Lanka on Saturday 31st January. Hopefully he’ll be ‘Singh-ing’ from the same hymn sheet as Kevin Pietersen who hit three figures today, the object of our last successful bet incidentally.
The final £10 will be spanked on STK’s beloved Bristol City, who face the mighty Plymouth Argyle this coming Tuesday. City’s form has been indifferent of late but as we all know this counts for nothing when it comes to derby games, apart from those including the Mens Football 2nd team whose only positive scores include a certain WFC member at the moment. Our sources tell us that Nicky Maynard is odds on to carry on his scoring purple patch and bang in the first goal of the game, so thats where our money will be heading.
