What cliches will President Obama drop in his State of the Union Address?
January 27, 2010
President Obama will be delivering his first ever State of the Union Address later today in the United States House of Representatives. As important speeches go this is by the far the most important of any President’s career as it sets out the polices for the next few years of government as well as telling the American people how well he is progressing in his Presidential journey. Expected topics that he will be covering are the reforms he is making to the health care system, cuts the federal deficit and job creation schemes.
Unlike speeches made by UK politicians this speech is televised and watched by millions of people not only in the United States but it will also have a massive world wide audience. The Irish bookmaker Paddy Power who specialise in political betting have released their odds for the speech.
What cliche will he say first?
Prepare for some cliches to be thrown at you left right and centre by his speech writers and have a bet while you wait for it to be said by President Obama.

Who will win the FHM Sexiest Woman of 2010?
January 25, 2010
Who is the hottest female of 2010?
The bookmaker Paddy Power have released their odds for who they believe will be in the running for the coveted FHM Sexiest Woman Poll. Last years winner Cheryl Cole’s appeal has only increased of late with her number one solo single and her ongoing appearances as a judge on the X-Factor has only increased her odds of winning. She does have however had close competition from 2008 winner and star of Transformers Megan Fox.
However at Freebetsblog.com we would like to see a bit of a change and rather than having a big movie star like Ms Fox, who’s charms are not in dispute and whilst we too enjoy the company of Cheryl Cole and would tip her to win and bag her second award we would like to see Holly Willoughby come in the top 5 as she makes watching Dancing on Ice at least bearable!

Can Tevez put in a repeat performance against his former team?
January 25, 2010
This Wednesday night sees the second leg of the Carling Cup tie between Manchester’s footballing giants. City are on a roll at the moment having progressed to next round of the FA Cup following an exciting fixture against Scunthorpe at the weekend and also beating United last week in the first leg of this fixture.
Manchester United’s league form has been excellent of late they have had several high scoring games (admittedly against teams much lower in the league) and it was only the blip last week against City that has marred their form and with the fixture being at Old Trafford they will be hoping that the twelfth man factor will give them the edge over Roberto Mancini’s side.
Man Utd v Man City match odds
If former United striker and current City golden boy Carlos Tevez scores the final goal of the game Paddy Power will refund all losing first and last goal scorers as well as correct score and scorecast singles made on the match. According to Paddypower Tevez is currently at odds of 8/1 to score the last goal of the game.
Player to score 2 goals or more.
In the previous encounter Tevez managed to knock 2 goals past his former teammates.
