Chairman’s Digest

Happy Old Year

Good Afternoon Managers, When The Chairman disappears to deepest darkest Africa for his annual drug-fuelled end of year boozefest – I expect some major change and topical developments on my return. I flick on Sky Sports to see Paul Scholes doing ninja style tackles in the Man U midfield, Thierry Henry coolly slotting home winners for Arsenal, Sparky Hughes managing in the premier league and *gasp* – Liverpool beating Manchester City away from home in a competitive football match. Either The Chairman is still tripping on acid, or...

Gambling 101: Compounding Your Interest

Good Morning Managers, “The greatest mathematical discovery of all time” What was our good friend Big Al Einstein referring to when he uttered the above words? If anyone knew his maths, it was Albert. This dude came up with the theory of relativity. E = mc2 for crying out loud! Differential calculus? Nope. Quantum physics? Try again. Surely Chaos theory then? Nay. What Einstein considered the greatest mathematical discovery of all time was none other than simple compounding. Consider the following: I put 1 penny into a bank account...

Speed taken

Good day sports fans. Any responsible football person with a blog should feel somewhat obliged – I suppose – to pass some form of comment on the passing of Gary Speed, apparently by his own hand. But I’m going to pass comment anyway. We’re always somewhat shocked when football people die young. People do die young all the time in this world, but we’re always a little stunned when someone like Speed, who left a marked football playing legacy, and was in the early stages of a very promising football management...

Not one of my best, but one mysteriously believes he’s a great player, the other… well, the other believes the same thing actually. That’s right it’s…

Outta Africa

Good…er… morning sports fans… I know how disappointing it must be getting a digest from GBO and not the Chairman. Unfortunately the Chairman can’t be with us today. He’s spent the last few days in South Africa whispering to elephants and getting no meaningful results. SPEAKING OF MEANINGFUL RESULTS (in the worst segue in Digest history) Chelsea really fucking need one this weekend. Audio-Visual Boas is supposedly on the ropes after Chelsea’s recent disappointing results. I have a theory about...

Gambling 101: Luck Never Gives, It Only Lends

Posted by The Chairman on Nov 18, 2011 in Betting, Fantasy League, Football | 0 comments

Good Morning Managers, “Money won is twice as sweet as money earned”. That immortal line was first uttered by Eddie Felson, a character played by the immortal Paul Newman in the movie The Color of Money. Eddie, who was training a young hustler (Tom Cruise) in the film, goes on to explain that in order to win, you gotta have two things. “You gotta have brains and you gotta have balls”. While it is my firm belief that most of my readers have balls, I fear that many of you are not sufficiently educated in the ways of the punt. Therefore,...

Best XI (11 11)

Good Morning Managers, Sport is all about timing. Whether you are striking a football, teeing off or stroking a cover drive – a good eye and power will only get you so far – if your timing is poor, all bets are off… I think we all know The Chairman has taken his eye off the (foot)ball in recent weeks: the Rugby World Cup was dominant and re-ignited the love he felt for the brutal game ever since he was a young alcoholic in Krugersdorp. Then a new website was launched, forcing the Chairman to dabble and experiment –...
