Back in March we had one of the most exciting finishes to the Six Nations in its history... "Before THAT Wales v Ireland game we had a special Index called 'Silverware' which awarded 25pts to either team if they won the Championship and 25pts if Ireland won the Grand Slam or Wales the Triple Crown. One client liked the look of this and bought Ireland at 30 for £1,000 (the type of stake that sends a trader's blood pressure sky high). Wales went in at the break 6-0 up needing to add just seven more points to take all the points on our special. Instead, Ireland hit back with tries from Tommy Bowe and the world's greatest player. A couple of penalties from Stephen Jones meant that the game was tighter than Austin Healey's hairline. Then Jones drop goaled for Wales with five mins left to completely flip the punter's bet and send him packing for Piecesville. But then Ronan O'Gara sensationally trumped his opposite number by landing a kick out of the hands. The punter was back! But hang on... with no time left, Jones has a pen to make the client's bet either make-up 0 or 50 - classic stuff! It lands just short and the client was able to taste the Grand Slam champagne with his £20,000 profit."

This trade showed that football is just so unpredictable... "People put a big price on betting info. Take premium tipping lines for example. Some have to make do with simply being at the event and hearing that piece of crucial team news. So imagine hearing the team news at the Weymouth v Rushden & Diamonds game last season when it was announced that none of Weymouth's first team would play and they've had to put the kids out! Amazing scenes! But if you're not privy to this info you might've been the client who sold the goals - in what was a tight game on paper - at 2.3 for £250. You could've been anywhere in the world and placed that bet (apart from the US of course) but if you were at The Wessex Stadium you would've seen 11 footballers, none legally able to drink, up against a solid conference outfit managed by Ex-Spurs left back lothario Justin Edinburgh. 9-0 was the final score line with Diamonds reportedly going easy on their adolescent opponents. The £1,675 loss for out man would've made him feel like one of those poor Weymouth fans."

Football Manchester United's title hopes were dealt a crushing blow at Craven Cottage as the title holders suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Fulham. The champions were run ragged in West London. United are down a point on our Premier League Championship Index to 38-41. Can Fergie's injury ravaged squad bounce back?

Manager Mick McCarthy was widely criticised for making ten changes to his team at Old Trafford in midweek. But he had the last laugh as Wolves recorded their third win in four outings. The West Midlands club are edging closer to safety and are down two points on our Premier League Relegation Index to 19-22.

Heineken Cup Munster showed exactly why they are favourites for this year's Heineken Cup after a 37-14 victory away to Perpignan. The 2008 Champions turned in a classic counter-attacking performance to leave the Irish side two points clear at the top of Pool 1. Can anybody stop the Red Army? Munster are up three points on our Heineken Cup Outright to 27-30.


Sporting video fun

Do you remember this spoof of an anti-racism ad by the brilliant Fantasy Football League show by Skinner and Baddiel? Plus there's living proof that goalkeepers do show signs of ageing. Someone should get him a bag.
