… and became instantly addicted all over again. Especially in the summer months when there is so much sports going on. Switch on the TV and you will have a hard time deciding whether to watch tennis, football or the golf. I placed online bets on the football, but every match played changes the odds for the coming matches. Last week Germany were the favorites. Today it’s Holland followed by Spain and Portugal with Germany in fourth place. The online gambling odds being offered on Holland are in the 3:1 range today. There are many different bets that can be placed. One of the most common is betting on who you think will be the most prolific goal-scorer. Favorite at this time is David Villa of Spain who is running at less than 3:1. The betting is open for Wimbledon tennis and after being humiliated by Rafa Nadal in the French Open Final, Roger Federer is being quoted at odds against to win Wimbledon for the first time since he first won the title, while Nadal's odds have been drastically shortened. Online sports betting site Hills now make Federer 11/10 favorite, and also offers 4/1 on Djokovic; 9/2 on Nadal and 14/1 on Murray and Roddick. As a confirmed online gambling addict, I cannot let this important event pass without wagering something and after much thought on the subject I think I will place a sizeable bet on Nadal. Now comes the US Open golf. I placed my online gambling money on Tiger Woods last week. This is what I read in the papers this morning: US Open favorite Tiger Woods is still suffering from the knee injury that has kept him away from golf for the past six weeks. After carding a 72 in the first round of the Major yesterday to leave him one over par, the world number one told Sky Sports that he "winced" in pain several times through the 18 holes at Torrey Pines. Woods got off to the worst possible start with a double-bogey on the first hole, while playing partners Phil Mickelson and Adam Scott both made par. A knee injury? Perhaps I should stick to Texas Hold’em. There’s no time for injuries! Posted on: June 23, 2008
