You might be wondering of the relevance of this as it isn’t about a great new bonus offer, however I am sure you will agree this is a cause worth promoting. As do the following three former football legends who have joined up with Premier League teams and the NHS to launch an anti-smoking campaign. West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola, Gunners Legend Ian Wright and John Barnes have all come together to promote Smokefree United.
Smokefree United is a virtual club that provides advice for football fans and players to assist them in giving up cigarettes.
People signing up will receive emails from Ian Wright encouraging them to stop smoking, along with the chance to win prizes, including the once-in-a-lifetime chance to play at your favourite club’s ground.
This NHS campaign backed by Talksport is also keen to highlight that after just one week without smoking, quitters could show an improvement the next time they play football.
Nine Premier League teams, including Liverpool and Tottenham are also supporting the campaign, delivering health-related programmes to help their fans stay fitter.

The new season is almost upon us; Can a Ronaldolesss Man Utd set a record of winning 4 leagues in a row, in the process of overhauling Liverpool’s 18 titles.
Is Rafa the Gafa, Gerrard and Torres going to propel Liverpool to the top of the summit for the first time in 20 years.
Are Wenger’s kids up to sustaining a serious title or honours challenge, even without Adebayor and Toure.
Or is Ancelotti the manager that would fulfill Abramovich’s dream of English and European supremacy.
Anyway watch the season unfold on this little betfair widget.
Last week the three leading contenders in the Premiership all drew blanks. What are the odds if they where to go one further and lose over the coming weekend. How about these incredible odds available at VC Bet 250-1.
Although it might seem improbable
Chelsea with their long unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge recently coming to an end are facing a possibly resurgent Arsenal, currently fifth in the premiership and now under the leadership of wonderkid Fabergas.
Man Utd are also far from a certainty away from home, when they come across their city neighbours and richest club in the world Man City. A Man City who beat them home and away last season.
The easiest game appears to be Liverpool’s Monday fixture at Anfield against West Ham. However one shouldn’t forget their recent goaless draws against Fulham and Stoke. Could Zola’s West Ham just sneek it?
How about a free £50 to bet on that outcome as well!
There are a number of people who are still puzzled by the difference between a traditional bookmaker and a betting exchange.
Well the best way to explain it is as follows:
When you “back” a selection (be it an individual, a team, horse, dog or other), you are betting that it will win. This is just like betting with a conventional bookmaker.
When you “lay” it, you are betting against it winning. For example, if you’re betting in a market on which team is going to win the Premiership and you lay Man Utd, then if they win you pay out. This is what bookmakers traditionally do.
If you are betting through an exchange, it effectively means that your bets are being matched by other exchange customers. In general, as a customer of a betting exchange you will not know who is on the other side of your matched bet and it may be a number of people matching your one bet.
Another theoretical advantage is that you can choose your odds
If you want better odds than are currently available, you can place an order for a better price, but bear in mind that if your price is unrealistic your bet is unlikely to be accepted. Note that the odds available often improve nearer to the ‘off’ (or when the event starts) as interest and betting activity in the markets increases.
The most foremost of betting exchanges is Betfair, they are currently offering aFree £10 bet.
Victor Chandler are pleased to announce the latest addition to their online games offering – Football Top Trumps. The classic football card game is now available to play on VC Games.com, both for fun and real money. The aim of the game is to predict whether the card you hold is the top trump, so whether the statistics on your card are better than card held by the dealer. Each card displays six different statistics that relate to the specific player, as well as the relevant percentage payouts, and you have the choice of which statistic you wish to bet on. The deck consists of 30 cards and includes some of the best footballers in the world. In keeping with classic Top Trumps game play, it is always the highest number that wins.”
