Weekend Wrap
Motivation to write is about high as the mercury at the moment - distractions abound with school holidays and the wife's birthday in the weekend. I could bang on about the Herald letting us know the rankings of our top tennis players (Dan King-Turner is up to a career-high 412 in the world; marvellous stuff) but even that joke is wearing a bit thin.
Despite the distractions, I managed to earn some moolah when for some reason England were $1.55 to win the last ODI against the West Indies and caught the replay of the Bok-Oz rugby test where I didn't bet. It doesn't surprise me the Boks covered the handicap, but they won't in the weekend - more about that in the days to come.
Not only is the weather depressing me - being July means most of the sport I want to watch/bet on is in the middle of the night and I would have loved to have been awake for the Wimbledon final. Over 30 million quid got traded on the men's final as the match wound through it's enthralling journey. I see Federer got as high as $2.42 in the final set when he was break points down; this rivalry with Nadal has the potential to keep us entertained (and making money) for quite some time to come.
Finally, an honourable mention and shout-out to the NZ team at the Junior World Orienteering Championships - four top-20 placings in the two events so far. I know I'm biased, but to me that's just as newsworthy as the mediocre rankings of our top tennis players.
