Formula 1 Betting at WilliamHill.co.uk

  • May 17th, 2009

This year’s Formula 1 season at WilliamHIll.co.uk is five races old and the early signs are that Lewis Hamilton may not dominate the Driver’s Championship as a lot of people first thought.

McLaren have got off to what can only be described as a shaky start after being pipped to the post with the new ‘diffuser’ technology by Team Brawn and after being hauled through disciplinary proceedings for events that unfolded after Hamilton ‘misled the race stewards’ following an incident between himself and Trulli in the Australian Grand Prix.

The surprise package of the season at William Hill so far has to be Jensen Button who currently leads the Driver’s Championship with 41 points. Team Brawn (formerly Honda) will be ecstatic to have Button in their pit lane given that after five races he has four chequered flags under his belt. The good news for Team Brawn is that his form is showing no signs of abating as he took pole position in the Spanish Grand Prix with a fine performance in qualifying and went on to win his fifth race of the season in convincing fashion.

Button drove a near perfect race in Spain, finished 13 seconds ahead of his team mate, Rubens Barrichello and 14 seconds ahead of Red Bull’s Mark Webber. Hamilton’s troublesome season continued in Spain as he only managed to finish in 9th place and he had the embarrassment of being lapped by Button on his final lap. While Button’s driving was faultless, Brawn’s first and second placed finish was mainly down to a switch from a three stop strategy to two, showing exactly how their free thinking and dynamic approach is paying dividends and really shaking up the very foundations of F1.

If Formula 1 is not your sport of choice, why not try football betting at WilliamHill.co.uk.

Williamhill.co.uk – UEFA Champions League

  • May 7th, 2009

Williamhill.co.uk – The UEFA Champions League, one of the biggest and best football competitions not only across Europe but also the world. The competition which has changed his format several times over the years, now appears to be the competition that governing body UEFA always wanted it to be.

The competition is competed by the top teams across Europe and they have all qualified through their domestic seasons, through the league they play in. Different countries have a different amount of people able to qualify, England being one of the biggest with four potential entries every season, the two teams who finish in first and second in the English Premiership automatically compete in the Champions League the following season, the teams who finish in third and fourth both have to go through some relatively easy qualifying stages.

The competition begins every season with the previously mentioned qualifying stages, then when the 32 teams have qualified they are split into eight groups of four teams and are labelled groups A-H, all the teams in each individual group play each other twice, home and away and then the top two teams in each group go through to what most people regard as the interesting section of the competition, the knock-out stages.

This is where the sixteen teams are drawn against another and they play each other twice to try and earn a place in toe the quarter finals. The reason this is seen as the interesting bit is because the majority of the ties see the big hitters from the different countries play each other.

Bewin – Boxing Update

  • May 2nd, 2009

Bewin – Boxing is one of the oldest sports still practiced today. It dates back to ancient times with proofs of its existence evident in archaeological finds such as walls paintings, carvings, tablets, even in Homer’s Iliad, the oldest piece of western literature that survived into modern times.

As a sport, there were records indicating that the first boxing bout ever was in the 23rd Olympiad, in 688 BC. Boxing was much more a risk back then as fighters did not have any gloves on. They only have thin strips of leather protecting their hands.

Modern day boxing is way different. A boxer has to equip himself not just with a pair of gloves but with heart and spirit. He has to have the character and built of a boxer. He should have high endurance comparable or, if not, better than that of his opponent. He should have power, ability, speed and most of all, strategy. This is where boxing has been compared to chess. A boxer has to think and anticipate what his opponent is going to do next if he wants to win the match.

One of the matches I am currently looking forward to is the Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton match on May 2009 in Las Vegas. Both boxers have been training hard ever since the match was officially announced. Critics have been criticizing and comparing one boxer to the other and continuously gushing as to who should get the pound-for-pound title. People have been talking about it for months on end, making this upcoming match one of the most awaited ever!

In history, one of the most significant developments in basketball is the merge of the National Basketball League (NBL) and the Basketball Association of America in New York City, in 1946, the merge of which created the National Basketball Association (NBA).

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is composed of thirty teams: 29 in the United States and 1 in Canada. NBA became very competitive from the late 1950s to the early 1970s and experienced a drop in popularity during the late 1970s but was revived when very talented players came into the picture.

Thanks to NBA players like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and a few others, thanks to great coaches like Pat Riley, Don Nelson, Phil Jackson and all other coaches, and the rest of the people in the Basketball Hall of Fame who have greatly contributed to the game, basketball remains one of the most popular American sports today.

This time with international players joining the teams such Leandro Barbosa of Brazil, Manu Ginobili of Argentina, Tony Parker of France and Yao Ming of China, to name a few. More information about the league’s history and its players can be found on the National Basketball Association, the National Basketball Referees Association and NBA Players Association’s websites.
