Daniel and I aren’t watching I’m A Celebrity, but if you are, please do use this thread to discuss it – along with any other non-X Factor betting opportunities that take your fancy.

BBUK, Summer sport discussion thread

Posted by Daniel

Summer is a quieter time for TV betting, but the Sofabet community has a few things to get stuck into, notably Big Brother, back on Channel 5.

Splash, DoI and The Voice Discussion Thread

Our hardy band of commenters continue to dissect the current crop of TV talent competitions. The second Splash semi-final is this Saturday, whilst Dancing On Ice and The Voice carry on.

Your wish is our command. As the last Strictly thread is getting to an unwieldy length, please feel free to use this clean slate to […]

Posted by Andrew

In a departure from our usual subject matter on Sofabet, I recently found myself discussing the wisdom of holding Premium Bonds: do they, the National Lottery or Euromillions give the best chance of a life-changing big win? I couldn’t find a recent calculation online so attempted to crunch the numbers for myself, and am posting […]
