Advantages: Delivered to your door every Thursday Disadvantages: Poor Content, Poor Tipsters, VERY POOR Value

Well, WRONG, Sports Adviser is nothing short of a scam, that is sold at a ridiculous price, considering the actual content of the magazine, I will explain more.
What you get with Sports Adviser is, a measly 24-page glossy magazine, which is published weekly, the ONLY good thing about the magazine is it’s delivered, to your door, every Thursday, on the dot.

Ah, Sports betting advice, “Us gamblers need a bit of this” (Not that I gamble as much these days), well, that was my first thought, when applying to an advert for a free trial of “Sports Adviser” magazine.
So, I applied for the four week free trial, off a website called “In-The-Know.com”, and waited with anticipation, for the magazine to arrive, only to be hugely disappointed with it.
So what is Sports Adviser?
Well, it is, or should I re-word that, it CLAIMS to be a bit of a gamblers bible, you know, one of these publications with tons of inside information on various gambling topics. One of these publications that will give you winning tips galore and make you rich.
Well, WRONG, Sports Adviser is nothing short of a scam, that is sold at a ridiculous price, considering the actual content of the magazine, I will explain more.
What you get with Sports Adviser is, a measly 24-page glossy magazine, which is published weekly, the ONLY good thing about the magazine is it’s delivered, to your door, every Thursday, on the dot.
The magazine covers various sports betting topics, from Cricket to Football, Horse Racing to Formula 1Grand-Prix betting, etc. They claim to cover these sports in detail, but alls you really get is, a one-page write-up about the chosen sport and their so-called tips and betting advice.
As I have said, I applied for the four-week trial, and in that time, I can hardly recall ANY of their tips actually coming in, and that includes some very short priced bets actually being turned over.
Take the recent Derby for instance; NINE of their so-called best tipster predicted the outcome of the Derby, with only ONE of them actually picking the very fancied winner, not a very good record, considering these are supposedly Horse racing EXPERTS.
OK, I know gambling is a very volatile world, and people can go through sequences of bad luck, etc, but my main gripe with this magazine is firstly the price, the price is £14.95 per month, for that you receive FOUR of these weekly publications, posted direct to you, “That’s not too bad”, I hear you say, the problem is, the information given out by this magazine is pretty poor, I mean you could find better information or get better tips, by just reading any daily newspapers betting columns or even better the vast amount of information available over the Internet.
Another thing that irritates me about the magazine is, some of the actual text is virtually unreadable, you know, tiny black letters on a green background, which requires a microscope to read. This is mainly in their “Horses to follow” section, and maybe it’s their tactic, if no one can read it, they won’t see how poor their tips actually are.
Summary: If like me you like a little flutter, and you love to get as much inside information and help, well, all’s I say is, don’t bother with “Sports Adviser”, as it is not worth the money one bit and as I have already said, your better off sticking to the Betting newspapers or the huge amount of resources available on the Internet, and for a subscription fee of £14.95 a month, this publication is VERY POOR value for money. Sports Advisor also have their own web-page, and even this costs money to access, works out around 37 pence a day, just in case you are interested, the website is at www.sportsadviser.com.
Advantages: Lot's of news and info on todays culture tackling all sorts of issues Disadvantages: Get dirty hands need to have massive arms and loads of peace and quiet to read
countries in the European Union for dental hygiene. Teeth are one of the biggest fashion statements at the moment but the thing that stops most Brits is the cost and not the fear of the dentist!
Section 11 ~ Doors:
This section will come in handy for all of us here it is all about the big WWW. This is a mini guide to some of the best web sites to visit and has a small review on each one mentioned.
It features heavily on sport this week and advises how you can keep up to date with all the summer events this year by using the web!
There are a further 2 sections Property and Ecosse but nothing that really interested me in these sections so I am unable to review.
~ The Sunday Times Magazine:
Another enjoyable magazine with some really good articles that is thorough and very in depth. There is a brilliant article about Russia ...

Advantages: Peak shows are excellent Disadvantages: None
. This is then followed by at approx 6.40am to 6.45am the 'early morning hard one'. Now before your minds start racing this is a question to the listening audience and nothing else. The question is usually along the lines of a 'what am I' type of question where the audience have to ring, text or email the answer, about 10mins later the top 5 are read out with the answer to the question. Kev has his own crew and is not alone on the breakfast show there is- Clarie, who reads the traffic and travel news, ½ hourly updates from7.15am in the morning until the end of the rush hour, gives the latest problems on the roads, trains, buses and Ferries, you can also phone in to the show and advise of any trouble spots you hit on the road. Guilia, who reads the news, every half hour in the morning and Pete who reads the sports updates after the news ...
Advantages: One bill for all services Disadvantages: A bit of a shock in respect of channel quantity when moving from sky.
pull there channels out of the Virgin catalogue of offerings, although this seems unlikely Virgin have some unique buying power that will ensure that if this does occur its customers will only benefit.
I pay £120 for Virgin Media each month, which sounds like a lot, but please take into account what I get:-
2 x Telephone Lines
Virgin's largest Broadband Package this has a speed of 10MB
3 x V+ boxes which all have the full range of channels including Sky Movie and Sky Sports.
Virgin Mobile (300 minute/300text option)
Now sit and work this out with your existing providers (if you use the above services) if your not with Virgin and tell me who has the better deal?
I'll stick with Virgin and am really pleased with what I get, and the value it affords me. If you can I'd strongly advise you to as well.
UPDATE
As of March ...
