Paddy Power Advert Cheltenham Festival Banned!

BetNose sniffs out the latest Paddy Power betting news.

It's a dark day for gambling advertising today as one of the best adverts has been banned. Paddy powers Cheltenham advert for ladies day was one of the finest in history bringing out some key messages along with some humour.

We were surprised and disappointed to learn today of the decision by the British TV advertising regulator along with television broadcasters to suspend our “Lady’s Day” commercial from airing in the UK.

This decision is especially frustrating given that the commercial was already pre-approved by British television advertising clearance body Clearcast, just one week ago, who then considered the humour in the advert, while not to everyone’s taste, fell short of causing offence.

Additionally, we reached out to leading UK transgender group, The Beaumont Society, for feedback on the script.

The Beaumont Society stated there was “nothing untoward with the advert concept” and felt it was not inappropriate since “the entire campaign would be a tongue-in-cheek look at the Ladies Day’s at race meeting where these day’s a large number of cross dresser’s make a day of it”

Furthermore, we exclusively cast members of the Trans community in the various transgender roles in the commercial.

Given the attention and diligence we demonstrated throughout the development of this commercial, we are very disappointed by today’s decision.

Finally it is worth pointing out that the commercial, which went live on YouTube less than one week ago, has almost 250,000 views with more ‘likes’ than ‘dislikes’.

Carlos Tevez next club odds - 4/1 to join PSV or Inter Milan

BetNose sniffs out the latest betting news for Man City.

Carlos Tevez, what a great player, but what a massive pain in the arse. Should be loved by West Ham, United or City fans, but the way he treats the club in the end is shocking. Carlos Tevez says he has been treated like. Dog but he just needs to grow a set and man-up. He's earns millions while taking a break from playing football, nice for some.

BetVictor have introduced a market on the next Club for Carlos Tevez after the Manchester City striker returned from his self-imposed exile earlier this week.

The bookies have finding it hard to split Inter, PSG or any South American Club at 4/1 and make Milan next best at 8s and Chelsea 10/1. One thing is for sure, Carlos Tevez has no future at the Etihad. Roberto Mancini has handed the striker an olive branch but we are convinced his long term future is away from Manchester.

Out betting tip for where Carlos Tevez ends up next is PSV. They have a rich backer from the middle east and need to sign in some top players to gain traction in the league and champions league, along with making the club more marketable.

Ryan Giggs 25/1 odds to make 1000 games for Man United

BetNose sniffs out the latest Manchester United Betting Odds.

If you think about the best player in Premier League history for us it would have to be Giggs. There have been a fair few that have made their mark, but no one has done it better and for longer than the ageing Welshman. It's crazy to think he is still one of the first names on the teamsheet for Sir Alex.

Ryan Giggs has played 899 games for Manchester United during a remarkable career and Boylesportgoats offering odds of 25/1 that the winger reaches the 1000 game landmark before he retires. Giggs has already put pen to paper for a contract for next year and could you see him playing the following year, potentially playing for the biggest club in the world when he is 40! Jesus that sounds crazy doesn't it but.... You can see it happening!

Someone once said you don't win anything with kids..... They were wrong. Anyone fancy telling Sir Alex that he will not win anything with the oldies, as he could prove you wrong too!
