Savvy Non Gamstop Punters Using Betting Exchanges

You are probably well versed with placing sports related bets and wagers, if you have been doing so for any length of time, but if you are part of the Gamstop scheme then you will no longer be able to place any type of bet at UK based and licensed bookies sites, for that scheme is a UK betting industry wide self-exclusion scheme that has helped many punters kick their gambling habit.

Improve your golf swing with these 2 tips

Golf can be an incredibly rewarding sport. It also can be one of the most frustrating sports. It's amazing how you can get to the point in a round where you convince yourself you are never golfing again. Then on the next shot, your swing is buttery smooth, the contact is clean with an amazingly pure sound, and you land the ball within a few yards of the pin from 170 yards out. In an instant you forget every terrible shot leading up to that one, extremely gratifying shot.

Unfortunately, for most golfers those moments of gratification after a good shot are few and far between. They...

Exeter City Manager Comparison: Matt Taylor vs Paul Tisdale

Former captain Matt Taylor took over from outgoing boss Paul Tisdale in the summer of 2018, and the 38-year old has managed to get the fans back on side during his 18-month tenure at St.James' Park.
