    Free Download: Euro 2008 Wall Chart
    If only the FA hadn’t appointed Steve McLaren. If only Italy hadn’t scored that late goal at Hampden. If only David Healy could have scored one or two more goals. If only we had someone to cheer at Euro 2008! The kick-off to the European Championships in Austria and Switzerland is just 49 days away and whilst there’s no involvement from any of the home...

    Phil Your Boots – Scolari for Chelsea?
    So this guy comes onto Talksport yesterday claiming to have the inside track on the next Chelsea boss. From a reliable source he claimed. Got the Capello appointment right he claimed. Big Phil he claimed. He said he got on at 14s but the price had fallen to 12s tops. Now it’s as little as 5/1 in places, although Coral are still waving 8s under our noses. Anything...

    Where’s the old blog?
    Hi, If you’ve stumbled across this blog please bear with me for a few days until I get the old Selectabet blog up and running. I’ve had a few issues with Wordpress, which means the old selectabet.wordpress.com is no longer available there. I hope to be back online asap. Thanks, selectabet (jimmyhillsbeard)

    Free Download: Euro 2008 Sweepstake
    It could be a long Summer for us footie fans with no home nations playing at the Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland.

    The Second Coming of Jose? You Wouldn’t Bet Against It
    With the inevitable sacking of Avram Grant just 3 days after he lost out on penalties in the Champions League Final, the race is now on to see who will replace the Israeli Coach at Stamford Bridge. Early front-runners are emerging and it’s all the usual suspects that make up the early favourites. Russian manager Guus Hiddink was installed as the market leader but...

    Eurovision Betting Preview
    It’s just a matter of hours until the biggest cheesefest since… well since last year’s Eurovision Song Contest. After a couple of semi finals the line-up is now known. Gone is Ireland’s Dustin the Turkey (does that sound like euphemism to you?) and by virtue of a bye, in is the UK’s singing binman Andy Abraham. Russia have emerged as favourites...

    Scottish Cup Final: Queen of the South v Rangers – Betting Preview
    I’ve often wished I could borrow Dr. Emett L. Brown’s De Lorean and travel through time. If I could, today’s game at Hampden Park could just be one of those games that I’d go back to 2007 for to have a wee punt. You see back in August Queen of the South were 750/1 to win the Scottish Cup – today they’re just 6/1 (Bet365, Coral). In the...
