After a summer break the world of F1 betting returns to our smallscreens this weekend over the 27th-29th August with the Belgian F1 grand Prix betting. During the drivers relaxing break we have had Lewis Hamilton fined £228 for his boy-racer stunt of pulling ‘donuts’ in a Melbourne street.

Elsewhere, F1 have confirmed a sponsorship partnership with global financial outfit, ‘USB’. The Swiss bank has not revealed just how much of an outlay they have agreed upon with the F1 management but you can be assured it won’t have come cheap. Sponsoring just one F1 race is estimated between between £5m and £20m.

All attention turns to the Spa Francorchamps circuit, home of the Belgian Grand Prix. The Red Bull pairing of Vettell and Webber are extremely optimistic ahead of the F1 Belgian Grand Prix. German driver, Vettel, stated, “It (Belgian Grand prix circuit) has some of the best corner sections in Formula One, they’re long, fast-flowing and suit our car. We were very competitive in the race there last year.”

At long last this terrible, terrible, TV show will come to an end in 5 days. If ever there has been a show that has surpassed its sell by date – it is this one. Big Brother has produced some great TV in its time, in fact some classic TV moments, however, those seem like a distant memory as this years effort slowly, withers and dies in front of a band of hardcore fans.

In one last gasp of effort, Channel 4 bosses have decided to give the show the twist of a lifetime – with Ultimate Big brother betting. Where some bright spark producer from C4 decided that ‘enough is enough’ and run a quadruple eviction on Friday night to get rid of these deadwood wannabees and then fill the house with a total of 12 housemates from the last ten years of both Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother. It’s enough to make you weep into your pint.

Tottenham Hotspur are on the brink of earning some big money action when they face Young Boys in Berne tonight in the Champions League play-off first leg. Spurs will be guaranteed at least a minimum £10m if they progress to the group stage. However, they face a stiff test from the Swiss outfit as the Spurs Young Boys Champions League betting begins to heat-up.

Young Boys play on an artificial pitch which could prove a tricky surface for Spurs euro dreams. Harry Redknapp has already left Ledley King at home, preferring not to put the big defenders knees under unnecessary stress on the plastic pitch.

If anything, Spurs should take notice that Young Boys lost just once, out of 18 games, on their home surface last season. Young Boys have also played a Champions League qualifier, where they knocked out Turkish outfit Fenerbahce.

As well as the bick kick off for Premier league betting happening down south this weekend the Scottish Premier League (SPL) also gets underway. Of course, with a dearth of talent from the SPL signing on for Championship teams during the summer months, one wonders what state the Scottish Premier League betting scene has been left in.

Rangers have been rocked by a financial crisis so gripping it has brought the club to its knees. Such is the cash worries that the blue half of Glasgow have not signed a new player in two seasons. Yet, under the wiseful guide of Walter Smith they have won successive Scottish Premier League Championships.

The litmus test for the forthcoming Premier League betting season plays out this Sunday at Wembley Stadium as the 2010 Community Shield gets underway with Chelsea vying against Manchester United. Under the current Premier League set-up, it may surprise you to know that the last 3 years in a row – the Community Shield winners have went on to lift the Premier League title : (Man U 07, Man U 08, Chelsea 09). OK, that’s “Mystic Meg” predictions considering that the Big 4 might become the Big 5 this season – with the arrival of the million pound spending of the blue half of Manchester.

Still, it is hard to see past either Manchester United or Chelsea for the league championship this season once again.

Of course, the Community Shield is nothing more than a “glorified friendly”, but there once was a time when winning the pre-season trophy mattered more than just getting players fight in time for the big league kick-off. The infamous 74 Community Shield final had Liverpool’s, Kevin Keegan, being punched full on the side of the head right in front of the ref – later both Keegan and Billy Bremner of Leeds were given their matching orders for fighting on the park. Or how about the 1993 Community Shield final between Manchester United and Arsenal that had many football betting fans on the edge of their seats at the wizardry skills of a certain Eric Cantona.
