New York Yankees - Lesson for the Premiership

As a new Premier League season is upon us it is all too easy to sit back and decry the dominance of Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Who can ever break into this axis of evil and world domination? It has become a commonly held belief that the money that the premiership and Champions League brings means no team can break into this cartel without the a multi-billion dollar infusion of cash and that consequently the sort of cash being spent guarantees you success.

Those who propound this theory might want to take a look at the New York Yankees this season to see how this can pan out. The Yankees are the goliaths of the MLB with their huge payroll and massive fan base and marketing clout. Despite all this the Yankees are not even going to qualify for the play-offs this year and it is a number of years since they won the World Series despite being the 800 pound gorilla of baseball. So, the moral is, money helps but it cant guarantee success at least in the short term

Today's bet of the day. Norwich to beat QPR generally available at 2.4 with William Hill QPR had good win at weekend but played against 10 men for an hour and Southampton posed them problems until QPR's 2nd goal which was ludricously offside went in thereby crushing their hopes. Norwich have turned the corner and the signing of Sibiereski will confirm them as dark horses for promotion.

Finally, the piece of advice that is more important than any to a gambler - if you can bet with other peoples money and keep the winnings then you are a mug not to. There are online gambling sites by the dozen out there offering free bets. Use it!!

The Lone Wolf - the beginning

Hello and welcome to all of you blog readers out there? Whats the point of my blog? Good question? (Can you congratulate yourself on a rhetorical question? It might be taken as the height of egotism!)

The Lone Wolf is here to take an irreverent look at the sporting and gambling world and in the meantime offer some insightful sports betting advice, top of which is to always use the bookies money to bet with. They all offer free bets so why arent you using their money! If you use your own money before taking advantage of the bookmakers free bets you might as well create a pile of fivers and burn the lot of them. Not using free bets is the height of stupidity - sorry but there it is!

I'll also be including parts of my private life (real names amended for publication purposes of course!) to add a little spice and personal touch to the goings on.

In case you are wondering the Lone Wolf reference pertains to the film "Blades of Glory" in which Chazz Michael Michaels (self confessed sex addict! and personal philosophy "clothing optional") refers to himself as the "Lone Wolf".

So, enough of the intros for now I dont want to sate your appetite just yet and onto the first original entry from the Lone Wolf .
