Why Dancing Should Not Be Treated As A Sport

Lisa Riley Strictly Come Dancing 2012

Lisa Riley Strictly Come Dancing 2012

The Magical Tipster is a very shrewd judge when it comes to betting, but sometimes he has a problem with logic and prejudice. Having backed Lisa Riley (actress and presenter) from 64/1 down to 18/1 with a cumulative odds of over 33/1 he now has to contend with the idea that Lisa Riley may not win the competition but may end up being a ”credible 4th or 5th” because she is not aesthetically appealing? Basically she is fat, ugly and speaks with a Northern English accent. These attributes are a crime in a fashionistic, totalitarian class society that the UK is still under the influence off.

Her betting price is at least twice that of Kimberly Walsh (a singer from Girls Aloud) and only 2/3 rd of Victoria Pendleton’s prices! It is scandalous but being a great dancer is not good enough to be a winner of a dancing competition because she is classed as a big chavvy woman! Now Victoria Pendleton is an Olympic hero, she has won gold medals, however, she is a rubbish dancer.  This does not make her any less of a person just as if she could not cook a meal like Delia Smith does not make her a worthless human being. Likewise Kimberley Walsh can sing a nice tune but she is not a fantastic mover on the dance floor, whereas Lisa Riley IS  a good mover on the dance floor. 

Why am I writing about a trivial Saturday program from  a view of betting and getting worked up about the price. Well, it just shows how stupid we are as people that we let those who have unimaginable influences on us dictate what we should like and accept as genuine talent. Please do not get me on X Factor and American Idol!

The best illustration of letting prejudice get in the way of talent, opportunity and ability was Hitler in 1936. I understand that using Hitler in a argument renders that argument null and void, but, it is easy to use and I cannot be bothered by hackneyed sayings and quips. Hitler basically said that anyone who looked Aryan was superior to anyone who didn’t and look where that landed! In the 1936 Olympic’s that nonsense was turned around and led to him taking drastic actions and decided to kill all non-Ayan beings to create some messed up World based on Wagner’s and other twisted individuals  prejudices. The fact that nothing really differentiates us as humans meant that Hitler had to go out of his way to kill millions to prove that he was one sick puppy.

If Lisa Riley do not win ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ it will serve us right that we still live in a feudal system in which bankers can play casino, lose and us regular folks will pick up the tab for any loses as happened on ‘Lehmans Day’ 2008. That synchronise dancing has more of a political pull than darts, that the female beach volley ball players must wear skimpy shorts to make the game interesting and diving all need people to like the look for it to be interesting. I am not attacking the sport as they stand, I am just pointing out that certain things must be in place for a sport to be truly accepted as sport and not have ‘LOOKS’ as a determining factor. 

The reason Lisa Riley’s price is still big is that the layers have brought into the narrative that basic looks are more important than talent. Victoria Pendleton is better looking than Lisa Riley therefore she has an advantage. This is wrong and hopefully the public do something about this great injustice. 

The only way the Magical Tipster will lose this bet is if logic and rational thinking has gone through the window and we do seem to live in a time where we are going backwards as a society. In the US apparently you can get all sorts by throwing a temper tantrum. It is seen as interesting! Well if Lisa Riley does gets all divaish as MT says, she is finished. Nothing turns off the Great British public more than a person feeling sorry for themselves. All this Ayn Rand and John Galt nonsense is very horrible to watch. So if you have not had a bet on Lisa Riley in SCD as Strictly Come Dancing is known then get on the 9/1 on offer and lets root for those who like talent and to see people get a chance based on fairness and equality!

Here is the reason why Lisa Riley will win.

Werewolf or a woman with PMT

Werewolf or a woman with PMT

A new report from The Medical Journal of Australia confirm my view that full moons mean trouble. In the article they did some research that showed that violence increased and the nature of violence changed when there is a full moon.

This is not new the Roman word for moon is Luna and it is also where the word lunatic comes from ie mad behavior is caused by the moon. Womens pre-menstural tension is also related to the moon which can be a source of grief as many men can tell you.

Landlords of pubs will tell you that the time to get grief is when there is a full moon. Doormen also testify to this and so will gamblers.

Time and time again weird and wonderful behavior accure when playing poker, betting on sporting events. As a rule avoid tempremental animals and dont drink when there is a full moon should be the unwritten law for all gamblers.

Why am I writing this today well in my pursuit to get more money on Rage Against The Machine and being thwarted, I rejected 3 major winning bets. Accrington Stanley to beat Notts County (9/2, 5.5), Joe beating Olly for X Factor (7/4, 2.75) and Ryan Giggs becoming BBC Sportsman of The Year (7/2, 4.5) and I blame the moon, not my stupidity.

This stupidity ‘insight’ led me to play some serious online poker and guess what I lost seriously. Can I blame it on the full moon – you betcha!


The Daily Digest #22

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8sxcjWe presents a new and improved version of the Daily Digest. This edition has the video of when snooker player Mark Selby was served a writ by his former manager George Bamby during a match in The Welsh Open live on TV.

There is also a video of fugitive and alleged drugs trafficker Paul Makin having a heart to heart with his wife Laura Makin on The Jeremy Kyle show – a sort of sub-prime Jerry Springer type program.

Finally, there is more stuff of children having babies and the latest news of betting in the £500,000 Maisie ‘Who is the Daddy’ Juvenile Stakes with a major plunge on Alfie Patten who is now 4/6 favourite after being a 3/1 4th favourite.

Quite clearly MT has no idea of what ‘financially’ is just as our hero Alfie hasn’t. Watch this glorious moment of crash tv.
