Cox Plate Winner Is Criterion

Criterion The Hopeful Cox Plate Winner

Criterion Cox Plate winner

I have never bet on a horse race before in my life. I thought this years Melbourne Cup would be my first ever bet on a horse race but it looks like I’ll be betting on the Cox Plate first. The reason being because of the promotion that Sportsbet is holding. I’m talking about the Cox Plate Money Back Special.

The Cox Plate is the second of Springs three big races. The first was the Caulfield cup which was held last week. I missed out on that one, The Cox Plate is being held Saturday the 24th October and then of course it will be culminating with the Melbourne Cup. You know, the race that stops a nation. I’ve always thought that was a bit of hype that marketers used but it seems to work as far as setting the mood goes.

Anyway, the way the money back special works is Sportsbet will refund your money if your horse comes 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Sound like a sweet deal to me so I’m taking them up on their offer. The question is which horse to place my money on. So who is running in this years Cox Plate at Moonee Valley..

If you think Fawkner is going to win then your best bet would be with Sportingbet as they’re offering $7 for the favourite Fawkner to win the race.

Me, I’m going with Sportsbet, partly because of the money back special, but also because they’re offering the best odds on the Criterion, the horse I’m hoping will win the Cox Plate. While Criterion is not the favourite I’ve done some research and there is a chance that the horse could win. So, I’ve place my bet as this weeks bet of the week. Have you placed yours?

Lindsey Vonn Hot Sports Babe #16 On Snow

Lindsey Vonn sexy hot sports babeI’ve featured a lot of hot spots babes on this blog but I don’t think I’ve ever featured an alpine ski racer. Maybe I thought their hotness would melt the snow.  :tongue_out: Anyway, I happened to come across Lindsey Vonn and once I did I just had to include her as one of my Hot Sports Babes. But before I thrill you with her hotness I want to remind you about the Hottest Sports Babe POLL. If you haven’t voted yet why not hop over so you can cast your vote on the hottest sports babe. Now to Lindsey Vonn.

Lindsey Vonn who even has her very own website, complete with videos and photos. The photo you see on the left is one of many that you’ll find on her site.

As usual Wikipedia has quite a bit of information on Lindsey Vonn. Not once though does it mention she’s a sexy hot sport babe. That’s where I come in. It’s my job to find these hot sports babes, to find the best photos that represent their hotness and to put them together for you, my loyal readers. I know it’s an extremely hard job, but someone has to do it.  :thumb_up:

Lindsey Vonn was born in Saint Paul Minnesota on October the 18th 1984. That makes her 30 years old. Way to young for me, but I can dream can’t it?

It seems Linsey Vonn has always loved to ski but it wasn’t until 2002, at the tender age of 17, that she made an appearance in the Winter Olympics. It wasn’t until the following year though that she won her first silver medal in the Junior World Championship.

It wasn’t until the 2010 Winter Olympics that our Lindsey Vonn, today’s sexy hot sports babe, won a gold medal in the woman’s downhill. The first ever in the event for an American woman.

I’m sad to say that Lindsey Vonn has been battling depression. In this article she says that the depression can be triggered by the intensive ski training and that she’s been dealing with it ever since she was 19. That is a long time to be dealing with something like that and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s inner strength that’s helping her to cope with it. I hope that as time goes on her depression will taper off so that her love of life continues to grow.

Just to finish off I’ve found this nice little video of her 2010 SI Swimsuit shoot.

NETELLER Secure Sports Betting Service

My NETELLER Experience

One thing that bothers a lot of folks out there is their online security. This is especially true when it comes to paying for stuff online. We’ve all heard horror stories where credit cards were hacked causing the loss of thousands of dollars. Worse still when such credit cards are also linked to bank accounts.

There is a way around this though and that is to have a dedicated credit card which you use just for your sports betting. For ages PayPal has been my payment option of choice for almost all online purchases. Unfortunately not everyone uses PayPal and so I had to find another, secure, way to pay for stuff online. Including placing bets on my favourite sports. I looked everywhere and finally settled on NETELLER.

From start to finish my NETELLER experience has been all positive. Usually when you read the hype that companies place online you come to realise that’s all it really is. All bloody hype. Not so with NETELLER. They said that you can use their services on the majority of sites and so far I haven’t joined one that doesn’t use NETELLER. Here is what they have to say about themselves.

[contentbox bgcolor=’f2f2f2′ border=’999999′ borderwidth=2 flareshadow=650 width=670 center=”yes”]

Our services are renowned for being very flexible or easy to use, and we have a lot of very satisfied customers.

.

NETELLER enables its customers to make online payments for both services and products online, send and receive money transfers and pay friends and family.[/contentbox]

I can definitely vouch that they’re flexible and I’m definitely a satisfied customer.

I’ve made my share of online payments and I’ve also have received, and continue to receive, online payments as well. I’ve also transferred money to my NETELLER account as well as transferred money from NETELLER to my bank account.

My favourite NETELLER feature by far though is Net+ their virtual prepaid Mastercard and their Net+ Physical Prepaid Mastercard. While both cards can be used to purchase goods and services online only the physical one can be used anywhere that accepts Mastercard. I have to admit that I like having something that I can actually touch in my wallet 😉 I actually took a photo of it so I can show you guys. Naturally, for security reasons I blanked out the bits that you shouldn’t see.

NETELLER Virtual CardWith the vitrual card you can actually define how much can be spent on that card. A great feature in case some wanker actually manages to hack into it.

As you can see from the image on the left I placed $500 into my virtual card and still have $67.32 left. I could have placed a lot less into it if I wanted to.

The only problem with the virtual card is you can only use it online. This is why I decided to get the Net+ Physical Prepaid Mastercard. I can use it anywhere including online.

Being a NETELLER member I also get notified of any special offers from members they’re associated with. Sometimes its a really cool sports betting related offer. Other times its to do with online gaming sites.
