Today's events:

Trent Bridge is the venue for the first Test of a four match series between England and Pakistan today. Both sides come into the match buoyed by recent positive results. Pakistan were, in the end, comfortable victors over Australia in their most recent Test match; Mohammad Amer and Mohammad Asif proving deadly with the new ball.

England recall Graeme Swann, Kevin Pietersen and Steven Finn to their squad and will be confident of continuing their recent run of positive results in all formats of the game. Tim Bresnan was yesterday recalled to the squad after Ajmal Shahzad was forced to withdraw with an ankle injury, but is unlikely to go straight into the side unless the selectors opt for a four-man pace attack.

England v Pakistan Cricket Betting 2010 has the hosts as the clear betting favourites, but, as they showed against the Aussies, Pakistan certainly won’t go down without a fight.

The month of July starts off at breakneck speed with the conclusion of the 2010 World Cup followed up by golf’s most prestigious and coveted major The Open Championship. However, it ends with something of a whimper as footballers are deeply entrenched in pre-season training and there really isn’t a great deal going on in the world of sport.

That said, there are still plenty of opportunities to take advantage of bookmaker free bet offers. Punters will of course be placing all of their pre-season bets ahead of an intriguing Premier League campaign which, if their summer spending is anything to go by, could see Manchester City thrown into the mix of the Premier League title race.

Horseracing fans can use their free bet tokens on the Glorious Goodwood meeting on the final weekend of the month and of course this exhilarating Formula One season passes the half way stage and every point becomes crucial in drivers’ and constructors’ championships.

July is often a peculiar month in the world of online betting. Peculiar in the sense that it offers up a feast to begin with and then ends with something of a famine. The World Cup ends on July 11th in Soccer City, Johannesburg with online betting punters hoping to collect on their pre-tournament bets.

The final is swiftly followed by golf’s biggest online betting tournament, The Open Championship. Punters and golfers will this year pit their wits at the home of golf and the most famous course of them all, the Old Course at St Andrews.

As the month draws to a close online betting fans can divulge in betting at Glorious Goodwood, the Test match series between Pakistan and Australia that is being played in England, Formula One betting and of course the customary slice of reality TV betting in the shape of Big Brother.

UK Betting

UK betting fans will focus on The Open this month as St Andrews, Scotland becomes the centre of the Universe for four days in the middle of July. UK punters will also be keen to put their money on Jenson Button and/or Lewis Hamilton as the two go tit for tat in the race for the Formula One’s drivers’ championship.

The World Match Play of Darts also takes place in the middle weeks of July. Darts is fast becoming one of UK betting’s most popular sports and there is sure to be a lot of money wagered on the event.

The final major UK Betting event of the month is the Glorious Goodwood horseracing meeting which includes Group 1 races such as the Sussex Stakes and Nassau Stakes.
