http://vgtips.co.uk/vgtips-sign-up/ is where I offer members regular betting tips for horse racing and football. Since 1998 I have made an annual profit, beating the bookie each and every year.
Now I pass on the benefit of my experience. I offer betting advice via private video diaries and by e-mail. I preview and review the big sporting events and I tell members when NOT to bet, as well as when to. I offer tips for the best 100 days of racing per year and for football throughout each English football season.
I also go walkabout with an HD camera in hand and I interview names from the world of sport. I have produced a wide range of programmes for SKY, Channel 4, ITV and the BBC.
In this 25 minute interview I sit down with Dan Waddell to talk about his late father, the darts commentator, Sid. I had the privilege of knowing Sid through the 80's and 90's. But Dan knew him best. His book 'We Had Some Laughs' recalls his life with Sid and is awash with good stories and laughs. Sid was about much more than his distinctive darts commentary. A former producer and director at the Yorkshire TV and Tyne Tees TV, Sid wrote and produced several television dramas. He was also behind the unique lunchtime programme called The Indoor League. A show presented by Fred Trueman that staged pub games in a Leeds TV studio. Darts was one of those pub games. It's a much bigger sport today.
Sit back and learn more about Sid Waddell and smile at the memory of some of his great commentaries.
I hope you enjoy watching my interviews and that you come and join http://vgtips.co.uk/vgtips-sign-up/
