The Grinder does it again!

MICHAEL MIZRACHI Wins the 2012 Poker Players' Championship

The Grinder does it again. His 3rd WSOP bracelet, but his 2nd Poker Players' Championship. Arguably one of the hardest tournaments around, with big names and needing proficiency in 8 different games, he's done it again. This win earns him another $1.4 million to add to his poker winnings. Still it is only his 3rd biggest score from a tournament. Unbelievable.

Well done "Grinder"

EURO 2012 Quarter Finals - Czech Republic vs Portugal

We're in the Quarters. First up the Czechs will face Portugal. Portugal is ranked 10th in the world as opposed to 37th for the Czech Republic. Of course the book makers are favouring Portugal. Unsurprisingly seeing as their main man Ronaldo is on a hot streak, scoring 2 goals and hitting the post twice in his last game. We hope he will continue to do so as I am going to go for OVER 2.5 goals.

I think this should be a good bet as we shall see Portugal continue to press their attacking style. If Portugal scores first, then the Czechs will have to respond. That means more open spaces and more goals. In their last game, Portugal should have scored at least 3-4 goals. So this can be a very open encounter.

OVER 2.5 goals! Go go go!

Celina Lin wins the Macau Poker Cup - The Red Dragon.... AGAIN!

Congrats Celina, worthy champion. You deserve it!



I have played with Celina a couple of times. She is a friendly person, great smile and always with kind words to say. She is not a proud person and with her good looks, it doesn't surprise me she is a fan favourite. After a spell of bad luck and really tough tournaments, it is great to see her win another prestigious title. And her winning hand? 64 off suit!!!! You go girl! :)

Denmark vs Germany, Portugal vs Holland

Alright, 3 from 3 so far. Sorry for being away for a few days. I didn't feel like predicting on those games. And luckily I didn't. Would have lost but not worth the punt to just break even. Now lets make some serious money.

Denmark vs Germany
Germany are safely through, and Holland are suffering. The Dutch however still has a mathematical chance if the Germans can beat Denmark by a big score while the Dutch beat Portugal convincingly. However if I were the Germans, I wouldn't mind letting Denmark steal a point from this game, ensuring that the Dutch will go home empty handed and tails between their legs. I will take Denmark +1 or even straight out draw for this game for great returns. Be prepared to be surprised.

Portugal vs Holland
Portugal can still advance without winning but they must be thinking what I am thinking about what the Denmark vs Germany game. Holland will need to win this game, not just for a chance of advancing but to save face. Expect both teams to attack furiously, especially the Dutch. This will be a high scoring game, so I will go for OVER 2.5 goals.

Good luck!

France vs England, Ukraine vs Sweden

Well, we got one. Draw and under 2.5 goals between Spain and Italy. Not many would have predicted this outcome but we did it here.

Now France vs England is too hard to call. England looks shaky recently and the French aren't doing that great either. Neither team have shown consistency when it comes to big matches. Honestly I would advice to avoid betting on this match entirely. If you want a punt, go for OVER 2.5 but bet small.

For Ukraine vs Sweden, both teams are attacking, and have poor defenses. All of their last 10-15 games combined have been OVER 2.5 goals. I would bet strongly on OVER 2.5 goals in this game. It would still be hard to call which team will win, but I think Ukraine might scrap through. For a side bet with long odds, go for Ukraine 2:1, 3:1 or 3:2. But make sure you bet enough on OVER 2.5 to make a profit in case you lose your scoreline bets.

Good luck!

EURO 2012: Spain vs Italy Preview

What a shocker. Denmark managed to pull an upset against the mighty Dutch. However the Dutch team wasted so many chances. 21 shots off target in all. Lets hope for a better result in our next games.

Spain vs Italy, not as easy to call as you think. World number 1 vs World number 12. The last time they met, Italy won 2:1. However Spain has had a really good build up to this game, winning 5 international games in a row. Whatever it is, it will make for a fun game to watch and bet on. However don't go crazy and bet big. I suggest making a medium bet on UNDER 2.5 goals, and as the game reaches 15 minutes, use your FREE IN PLAY bet to go over/under 2.5 depending on the action. I think both teams might start off defensive and try not to make mistakes. They both have chances getting points in their other games so they would be happy with a draw, especially the Italians.

Good luck and bet HERE to get your FREE IN PLAY bet.

Netherlands vs Denmark Preview

Denmark used to be a power house in European football. Remember the 80s and 90s? But the Netherlands, runners up in the World cup will be too strong for them. Easy bet, the Dutch to win by 2 goals or more. I expect to be a free flowing game, and a high scoring game. Go for over 2.5 or even 3.5 for great odds.

Good luck!
