Join My Formula 1 Mini-League at Fantasy Racers 2010

As many of you are aware, in around 6 weeks time the new Formula 1 season gets going and just to make it a little more fun I've decided to run a mini-league from within the already-fun-and-free-to-join Fantasy Racers 2010 game.

It's really easy to play, adds fun to the already fun Formula 1 season, and you can win prizes too!

If you've not already joined (following my last post) you can do so here.

...when you're team is entered you'll want to join my mini-league too so we can all have a little banter during the coming season. It's a league I've called League BOB, named after my gaming blog BOB, The Best of Betting.

Once logged in, from the first drop down menu, find the heading Join Personal League and it gives you the option to enter a league number. The number you need to enter for League BOB is 40060. Alternatively, from the same page it gives you the option to view a list of leagues you can join. Click that option and scroll through until you find League BOB (the list is in alphabetical order).

I hope you can join me.

The very best of luck.

New Formula 1 Season, New (Free-To-Enter) Fantasy Racers Game

There have been some fairly significant changes for F1 in 2010 so here is a quick synopsys for those that haven't been following the off track schenanigans during the close season.

Overall Changes
There will be no re-fuelling during the race. Whilst KERS will still be permitted, all teams have agreed not to use it in 2010. Revised Championship points system. Probably. 26 car grid, allowing 13 teams to compete.

Team Changes
4 new teams. US F1, Campos Meta, Virgin Racing and Lotus F1. BMW have sold their team to Peter Sauber but will continue to race as "BMW Sauber F1" in the short term. Toyota have withdrawn completely from F1. Brawn GP is now known as Mercedes Grand Prix having sold a controlling stake in the company to the German car manufacturers. Their involvement with McLaren will be reduced significantly this year.

Driver Changes
Felipe Massa reclaims his Ferrari seat having fully recovered from the head injury sustained last year. He has a new team mate in Fernando Alonso. Kimi Raikkonen takes a sabbatical from F1 and turns his attention to Rallying for 2010. A familiar name returns to F1 following a 3 year absence. Michael Shumacher has come out of retirement and joins Ross Brawn at Mercedes GP. Nico Rosberg completes the all German line-up. Jenson Button leaves Brawn GP and joins fellow brit Lewis Hamilton at McLaren.
Robert Kubica leaves BMW Sauber and joins Renault. His team mate for 2010 has yet to be confirmed, but is rumoured to be Vitaly Petrov. Rubens Barrichello will be the experienced driver of Williams, partnered by the 22 year old Nico Hulkenburg. Sauber take a similar stance with mixing experience with young talent by pairing Pedro de la Rosa with 23 year old Kamui Kobayashi. Scuderia Toro Rosso confirm Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari. Red Bull stick with Mark Webber and Sebastien Vettel. Force India keep Vitantio Liuzzi and Adrian Sutil. Lotus F1 have gone with Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen to head their maiden campaign. Campos Meta have named Bruno Senna but are still to confirm who will partner him. Virgin Racing have gone with Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi. US F1 Team recently confirmed Jose Maria Lopez - no news on the second driver as yet.

That just about sums it up. With racing just over 6 weeks away be sure to get your Fantasy Racers team in promptly. You can change things about as much as you like right up until the start of the first official qualifying session for Bahrain on Saturday 13th March.

Don't worry, it's totally free to enter.

Submit your team here

Good luck!

South Africa World Cup "Safe" Debate

The horrifying attack on Togo's football team in Angola has sparked a flurry of alarmist stories in newspapers around the world questioning South Africa's ability to stage the World Cup.

Officials organising the South Africa tournament have moved quickly to dismiss those claims...

...of course they're going to dismiss the claims! How much money do you think they have already spent preparing for the World Cup? Answer: Lots! Now personally I don't think it is going to be safe. Not for everyone anyway, and the England fans? Aren't they the first to get blamed for anything that goes wrong surrounding football games? I know if there had been a European version of the African Cup of Nations, on English soil, in preparation for the World Cup to be played in England, and there had been an attack even half as bad as that on Togo, the World Cup would be moved to another country. Do I need to say any more? Me thinks not!

Let's hope it is going to be safe in South Africa this summer, and let's hope the officials are going to be more clued up than they are at the African Cup of Nations too... I've never seen a tournament with more incorrect decisions EVER! Lots of "!" aren't there? Needs to be.....!!! Only yesterday during the Egypt versus Cameroon match the officials gave Egypt a goal and the ball didn't even cross the line!!!!!!! .....and the amount of incorrect off-side decisions that have been made when a player has been 5 yards on side is beyond belief. I hope NONE of the officials at this cup will be in charge at the World Cup.

My tips...

Nigeria for the African Cup of Nations.
Spain for the World Cup.
Chelsea for the Premiership.
Nottingham Forest for the Championship.
Chelsea for the FA Cup.
Chelsea for the Champions League.

Yes - a Chelsea treble!

...and one more tip...

Liverpool NOT to finish in the top 4!

The best place for a few bets is Paddy Power...

50p donation to the Haiti Earthquake Appeal for each new member that joins Top Cashback for free...

On Tuesday January 12th the already poverty-stricken country of Haiti experienced a devastating earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale. The death toll is colossal with over 100,000 already dead and fears emerging this figure may reach 200,000. Those who have survived are in desperate need of clean water, shelter and medical help.

It's times like these that really make us all stop and think what can we do to help. Top Cashback have therefore decided to donate 50p to the Disaster Emergency Commission for each new member that joins (for free) before Friday 29th January. This will take about 2 minutes of your time, won't cost you a penny, and you can if you wish earn cashback on many of your online purchases.

Make more money from Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, your blog, or website. Easy!

Several days ago I introduced Affiliate Networks to those of you that didn't know what they were and how they could help you make some money from Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, your blog, or website.

I introduced you to Affiliate Future, in my opinion one of the best networks available to work with, totally free to join, and quite simply your first doorway to generating some good money from posting banners or links where ever you think they might get clicked.

I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce you to the other "great" affiliate network, Affiliate Window. Working pretty much the same way as Affiliate Future, but with a lot of merchants unique to itself, Affiliate Window should be a top choice for webmasters and bloggers alike.

Affiliate Window does charge you the small sum of £5 for joining which you will get back with your first commission payment.

Here's a link to Affiliate Window, and just to show you how easy the whole thing is, if you click this link and sign up to the network, I get £2 payed in to my account! The link (in the form of a banner)...

Make some extra money from Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, your blog, or website. Easy!

If you're a light user or a marketing guru it's never been easier to make a little extra cash from sticking a banner or affiliate link on your profile, blog, or website, and it's really easy to do!

Doing this is different for each application you use, but for example, if you know how to post a link or a YouTube video on Facebook, then you know how to post an affiliate link too, because it's done the same way. On Blogger you just add a HTML/Javascript widget and copy and paste the banner code in to the box and click save - done.

The best place to find appropriate links that will earn you more money and be of more interest to your friends, blog or website followers would be an affiliate network, like Affiliate Future for instance. For your information I will now post a banner for Affiliate Future - just click the banner and the rest is self explanatory. You could be earning some extra money in less than 5 minutes time, it really is that easy.



HaPpY mOnEy MaKiNg!
