    Panorama: Exposing the Corruption in Horse Racing
    If nothing else, at least I’m now glad that I seldom bet on Horse Racing.

    Pre-season Friendly Betting: Villareal v Liverpool
    Villareal v Liverpool - Live on Sky Sports. Kick off 8.30pm. Keano! There’s only one Keano! It’ll be strange to hear the Kop belting out that particular anthem come the start of the season but Rafa may at last have found the ‘missing piece of the jigsaw’. The Liverpool fans certainly hope so. I think Robbie Keane will be great signing in the true...

    We were going to invite some Z-list celebs along like Jodie Marsh, the Cheeky Girls and that gay guy off Big Brother but instead we decided to keep the launch party low-key and save our £13.47 budget for a sneaky wee punt on Aston Villa this afternoon. Instead of a caviar buffet the launch of the Selectabet Live Scores page was heralded with a roll and square sausage,...
