Respected Briton Gascoyne (above right) becomes the first senior F1 boss to demand the FIA president stands down, according to NOTW. “If he wishes to stay, it will devalue his office, which is obviously not good. I think any person in that position has to consider the impact of their actions.”
Five-times Le Mans
24-hour winner Derek
Bell was even more
damning. He said:
“Max has to think of
racing instead of
himself and stop
being so damn

Tony Brooks, one of

UK after finishing

added: “Max has lost
status — cavorting
around with
prostitutes in that
manner is not
something to be
proud of.

Prescott
Just two days after Formula One Motor Racing's most powerful man, Max Mosley, was seen around the globe allegedly taking part in a "Nazi Hooker" video the Crown Prince of Bahrain has told him not to show up in his country at this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix. Ouch! Mosley has already stated he would not be attending the Bahrain Grand Prix as he was too busy preparing to sue the News of the World. That is the publication that featured the video of Mosley allegedly engaged in a sado-masochistic orgy with five prostitutes. Max Mosley said Tuesday he will remain president of auto racing’s governing body despite calls for him to resign because of his role in a sex scandal.

Then, head bowed and tied up in chains, he is interrogated by a dominatrix before being chained up and LASHED so hard over a TORTURE BENCH that he WHIMPERS for mercy and has to have a wound dressing put on his backside. The incident was bound to send shockwaves throughout most of Europe.

McLaren ace Lewis
Hamilton was abused
by Spanish
spectators.
During Mosley’s Presidency of the FIA there have been several controversial events that have often generated criticism and calls for him to resign. Of the criticism aimed at him Mosley has said: "I don’t mind flak – I come from a family where we have had flak all our lives – but I realise some people do. I love reading the blogs when they are being furious about me, it’s very entertaining, and there is the odd one which defends me. But F1 simply cannot divorce itself from the zeitgeist." Mosley and the FIA have been accused on several occasions in recent years by British journalists and Formula One team owners of favouring the Ferrari team through their judgements. Mosley himself believes that "the line in the UK is – how could you be so beastly to [British team] McLaren? And the line on the continent is – you favour McLaren and [their driver] Hamilton, or you’re trying to make sure a Brit wins the championship."

Prescott David Beckham was humbled when his LA Galaxy lost its MLS opener Saturday. They lost 0-4 to Colorado.
The glamor team's
new season under
Dutch soccer legend
Gullit started
poorly despite
Beckham racing back
from midweek England
duty to take on the
Rapids.
"I'm finding it hard
not to criticize
some of the
decisions tonight
but I've just been
told I'll be fined
if I do," Beckham
said. "I don't want
that to happen.
Referees have a
tough job, but some
decisions change
games, and that's
happened tonight."
Beckham's career
began when he signed
a professional
contract with
Manchester United,
making his
first-team debut in
1992 aged 17. During
his time there,
United won the
Premier League title
six times, the FA
Cup twice, and the
UEFA Champions
League in 1999. He
left Manchester
United to sign for
Real Madrid in 2003,
where he remained
for four seasons. In
his final season,
Real clinched the
2006-07 La Liga
chamionship title
(Beckham's only
major trophy with
the club) in the
final game of the
season on 17 June.
In January 2007, it
was announced that
Beckham would leave
Real Madrid and sign
a five-year contract
with the Los Angeles

Shaun Murphy, Ding Junhui Odds for China Open Snooker Betting
Posted Mar 27 2008
10:39 am by Alistair
Prescott Murphy v Ding Junhui in this year's China Open featured even odds for Ding Junhui (1/1) and Shaun Murphy was the 3/4 favorite. (Murphy was at 1.75; Junhui 2.00 at Sportingbet) Shaun Murphy was the talk of the day after producing the longest frame in snooker history in his 5-3 win over Dave Harold. The British born 2005 World Snooker Champion is ranked number 3 for the 2007-2008 Snooker season, his highest ever. During the 2005 tournament, he beat former world champions John Higgins (13-8), Steve Davis (13-4), Peter Ebdon (17-12), and finalist Matthew Stevens (18-16) to win the World Championship. His run echoed the first championship win of his childhood idol Davis, who also beat three world champions (Alex Higgins, Cliff Thorburn and Terry Griffiths) to reach the final.
Earlier yesterday, Murphy scored a frame lasting 93 minutes, surpassing both previous records for the longest televised frame (Mark Selby v Marco Fu, 2007, Maplin UK Championship, 77min) and longest in professional snooker.

Geoff Ogilvy Promising Big Payout for Gamblers
Posted Mar 20th 2008
9:48 pm by Alistair
Prescott Australia's Geoff Ogilvy and Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez shared the lead on 65 with American Stewart Cink on 66 after the first day of the 2008 World Golf Championships CA Championship. Ogilvy, as we pointed out yesterday, was listed with 11 to 1 odds to win the Championship at Find betting odds here
Ogilvy, who had a
bogey-free round,
birdied the first
four odd-numbered
holes and added
another at the
eighth to stand
five-under at the
turn, then added
another at the 12th
and conquered the
18th for a final
birdie. Australian bookmakers, including Sportingbet, which does maintain a strong presence in that country, stood to get hurt bad by bets placed on Ogilvy. The good news for Aussie bookies: There were still three days to go and plenty of time for Geoff Ogilvy to fall back; Tiger is right there breathing down everyone else's back; and a lot of the betting down under went on Adam Scott, who was actually the Australian favorite with 10 to 1 odds. Ogilvy, if he were to win, would pay out $1100 for every $100 bet early on. Last summer, Irish bookies got hammered when their native son Padraig Harrington, won the British Open with pay out odds that cost the books over $6000 for every $100 wagered.
JP Morgan Tips William Hill to "Outperform" Ladbrokes
Posted Mar 19th 2008

Prescott Tiger Woods may be the big favorite to win this year's WGC CA Championships but who said Tiger Woods had to be entered into the equation. For some, betting on Adam Scott or Goeff Ogilvy offers an excellent opportunity since Sportingbet is allowing bets on which non-American player will win the 2008 WGC CA Championship. Find betting odds here Adam Scott pays out US$1000 for every US$100 bet. Geoff Ogilvy pays out US$1100 for every US$100 bet. They are the third and fourth world favorites, respectively. South Africa's Ernie Els comes in as the 7 to 1 favorite along with Indo-Fijian golf superstar Vijay Singh. To date Adam Scott is one of only three golfers born in the 1980s who have made the top ten in the Official World Golf Rankings, the others being Sergio García and Justin Rose, and thus has one of the most promising careers in men's golf. On January 7, 2007, he reached a career high ranking of third with a second place finish at the Mercedes-Benz Championship. Scott has higher aspirations beyond that of just being the best golfer outside of Tiger Woods. He wants to beat him.
"It's a great time
to be playing," Adam
Scott said. "It's
awfully hard to beat
him, but he doesn't
play every week. I
know he's winning
all the time, but he
doesn't win every
week, either."
Ogilvy turned
professional in May
1998 and he won a
European Tour card
at that year's
Qualifying school.
He played on the
European Tour in
1999 and 2000,
finishing 65th in
his first season and
improving to 48th in
his second. He
joined the U.S.
based PGA Tour in
2001, and finished
in the top 100 in
each of his first
five seasons. His
first professional
tournament win came
in 2005 at the PGA
Tour's Chrysler
Classic of Tucson.
In February 2006 he
beat Davis Love III
in the final of the
2006 WGC-Accenture
Match Play
Championship. "Betting without Tiger Woods in the equation is a great thing," commented Gambling911.com Sports reporter, Don Shapiro. "It's always assumed he is going to win, but that assumption does not always pay out since Woods wagering usually requires a much bigger risk initially. With this year's WGC CA Championships, A US$600 bet would be required to win US$500. Some gamblers would argue that's a steal but Woods is never a 'lock' either and last year demonstrated how golfers with much longer odds like Padraig Harrington and Angel Cabrera ended up paying thousands of dollars on a $100 bet." In the case of Cabrera, it was well over $6000 at one point and Harrington proved to be the costliest bet of last year at Paddy Power as first reported by Gambling911.com and only recently confirmed by Ireland's largest betting firm. There are 78 players at this World Golf Championship. Betting on this event can be found here
 The WGC CA Championships betting odds were posted for those gamblers living outside the United States by Sportingbet WGC CA Championships was taking place Mar 20th - 23rd. The outright winner odds included Tiger Woods paying out US$5 for every US$6 bet. From there onward all the payouts were pretty hefty including the next big favorite to win, Phil Mickelson, paying US$1400 for every US$100 bet at Sportingbet Then you also had the opportunity to bet on who would win without Tiger Woods in the equation. The payout odds were still good for Mickelson. A US$100 bet would pay US$900!.

Premiership Owner Joe Lewis Loses Big on Bear Stearns Bust
Posted Mar 17th 2008
10:48 am by Alistair
Prescott
 One of the biggest casualties of the Bear Stearns bust this weekend is Joseph C. Lewis, owner of such big name football clubs as Tottenham Hotspur F.C. and SK Slavia Praha. On September 10, 2007, he was in the news for paying $860.4 million in an all-cash purchase of a 7 percent stake in Bear Stearns that made him the brokerage firm's largest shareholder. About $800 million of that was lost on March 16, 2008 when Bear Stearns was purchased in a straight stock swap with JP Morgan Chase in which JP Morgan paid the equivalent of $2.00 a share for Bear Stearns. Lewis was listed as the 16th richest British person in Sunday Times Rich List 2007.

Rugby Star Danny Cipriani Drops F-Bomb on Live TV....In Front of Millions
Posted Mar 16th 2008
9:58 am by Alistair
Prescott  Audiences gasped as
Rugby star Danny
Cipriani was caught
up in yet another
controversy.
It seems he used the
F-Word live in an
interview after
England's victory
over Ireland.As the 20-year-old praised England's eight-man pack of forwards, he referred to their numbers, saying: "It's the f***ing one to eight who deserve the man of the match." The player added immediately: "I can't believe I've just sworn on live TV."
The blunder was a
dark cloud over
Danny's otherwise
dream debut. The BBC said: "While we make every effort to avoid broadcasting bad language, this was a live interview and occasionally interviewees get caught up in the excitement." His starting debut for England was due to be realised when he was picked at full-back for the game against Scotland on 8 March 2008. However, two days before Cipriani was to make his full England debut, he was axed from the squad due to "inappropriate behaviour", believed to relate to a late night visit to a London nightclub. He started against Ireland on 15 March 2008,which England won 33-10, replacing Jonny Wilkinson at fly-half. He had a particularly successful match, converting all of his goal kicks and controlling the game well.
Odds to Win 2008 Champions League: Barcelona The Team to Watch
Posted Mar 15th 2008
10:52 pm by Alistair
Prescott Sportingbet has made Barcelona the team to beat with odds to win the 2008 Champions League set at 14/5. That's a €280 win for every €100 bet. Patrick Barclay of the Telegraph likes these odds. This time I fancy Barcelona to be the ones standing alone against the Premier League. The outcome of none of the quarter-finals can be taken for granted, but Barcelona should be too creative for Schalke, United too fast for Roma and Chelsea just too persistent for the dark horses of Fenerbahce. Barclay also believes that Arsenal should be seen as favorites to win the 2008 Champions League. They had odds set at 5/1 Arsenal must be regarded as favourites. Even the fact that the second leg is at Anfield, where Chelsea have twice perished in semi-finals, will scarcely daunt Cesc Fabregas and company and those of their fans whose memories go back 19 years; it was at Anfield that George Graham's Arsenal caused the greatest denouement since competition for the English title started, Michael Thomas scoring the decisive goal in the 94th minute. If Arsenal were to qualify for a semi with Chelsea, I would again fancy them, for all the West London club's burning desire for the extra European dimension Arsenal acquired through reaching a final against Barcelona two seasons ago which they long threatened to win despite Jens Lehmann's dismissal. Teams led by Arsene Wenger have a habit of bouncing back and, if they return to the final, Arsenal might well be granted a rematch with the Catalan institution managed by Frank Rijkaard - at least for the time being. Chelsea and Man United were both listed with 7/2 odds of winning the 2008 Champions League.
