BDO World Championship
Darts Betting
Known among some of the PDC commentators as 'the other one', the BDO World Championship begins as it's wealthier younger brother finishes. But what the Lakeside event lacks in a big venue, good darts players and commentators like Sid Waddell, they more than make up for it with better interval music and that old chestnut "LETS...PLAY...DARTS."

US Racing - Live on ATR
Caught Knapping!
Some people just never take no for an answer. Whether it's your buddy insisting on one more round or nudging your missus and telling her you've just brushed your teeth, some of us just block out that little two letter word in the hope they eventually say yes. Laura Stewart is one of those people. She had been trying to convince her sister, Evelyn Poynter, 86, to move from her apartment to a new home in Pittsburgh. Stewart, 72, and her boyfriend, Earl Cross, 76 decided the best way to persuade her was to wrap her up in duct tape and drive her to the house. "There was nothing sinister about it," revealed Stewart’s daughter, positioning herself in the 'no means yes' camp. Have you got tonight's US Racing on ATR all wrapped up?
Spurs v Burnley Betting
Bring on the Next D-foe!
Given his reputation as a bit of a wheeler dealer, Spurs boss Del Boy Arry Redknapp has been linked to numerous players during the January transfer window. Rather than talk about their impending Carling Cup semi-final with Burnley, Arry wanted to clarify his transfer policy in no uncertain terms. To paraphrase, he won't buy crap. "You get agents calling up offering players and it would only cost you your job if you took them," Redknapp said, as Titus Bramble's ears began to burn uncomfortably. Tottenham have signed Portsmouth's striker Jermaine Defoe....again. Defoe has shown Pompey the same amount of loyalty Arry showed the seaside club. Are Spurs Pomp-ed up to beat Burnley?

Australia v SA 3rd Test Odds
To a Fine Art
The Test series may have gone in South Africa's favour, but there's still a lot to play for on the final day of the third Test against Australia. The Proteas want to complete an historic whitewash and in doing so become the number one Test team in the world, a much coveted accolade. It'll be extremely difficult to notch up the 314 runs needed to win with nine wickets remaining, but SA coach Mickey Arthur is an optimist. "If we are unscathed at tea time then we'll be ready to launch a proper assault. There is a dressing room full of guys that don't want to give an inch," he said, presumably talking about his own team. Do Arthur's men really have a chance or is he just taking the Mick?

Not Very Saf-e
Marat Safin is a guy you would like beside you when things get a little hairy down at the kebab shop around 3am. He also looks like it this week. Turning up at the Hopman Cup sporting a black eye and some cuts, the Russian was quickly revealing his supposed macho-ness to the inquisitive press. To quickly paraphrase, you should see the other guy. After his win over Simone Bolelli in Perth, Safin revealed, "I got in trouble in Moscow." He added it wasn't with the Police, but he did inform us: "It's OK, I can survive. Yes, I won the fight. I'm good, I'm OK." We think he's covering up a festive period fight with his sister, Dinara (left) over who got the last mince pie. Who'll be making a racquet at this week's tennis tournaments? Tennis Betting
Celebrity Big Brother Odds
In the Verne-acular
Although the risk of being labelled politically incorrect and/or offensive perilously hangs over us after that previous PP Ad featuring a midget was banned, the Paddy Power journalists are prepared to give Verne Troyer a small mention. Ho, ho. "I may be short, but don't think I don't know how to please a woman. I make up for it in other areas," he told us, before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house. And he's wasted no time in the Z-list Celeb filled residence suggesting that he and Michelle Heaton should shower together "to save on hot water." Other than that, Coolio being warned about his excessive use of the N-word is about the only other thing that has happened so far. Can Troyer reach a new low and win Celeb BB?
Mercedes-Benz Championship
Just Boo-tiful
As the PGA Tour prepares to kick off – drive off/suitable other golfing parlance – we can only hope that the golfers will take a leaf from Boo Weekley's book on how to be a golfer this year. Frequently dull, Weekley has emerged as one of the characters of the game – and, thankfully for us, is a one man quote machine. Having won the Ryder Cup with Team USA, he was invited to dine with George Bush. "I was honoured to meet the President. He's like one of us." We're sure the Floridian meant to say, "He's just like me." Talks funny, likes hunting and enjoys a drink (or used to). Only winners on last year's Tour can take part in the Mercedes-Benz Championship, but is Boo going to have a good Week in Hawaii?
Football Betting
The Gloves Are Off!
Footballers have to listen to some harsh words from the terraces and when we heard Espanyol goalkeeper Carlos Kameni attacked a fan at training, we assumed that it must have been something a bit more serious than the DJ playing the wrong song. A fan at the Spanish club's training ground told him not to bother renewing his contract with the club, which expires this summer. In other words, you're rubbish. It sent the keeper over the edge and the pair had to be separated. "I regret what happened. I did not want to attack anyone," the Cameroonian International claimed, sounding a little like Joey Barton while trying to defend his actions. Can Carlos Kam down and help Espanyol beat Poli Ejido?
