Sportsbook Guardian's Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

If you’ve been with us from the start you’ll have noticed a massive change to the site. As it turns out, not all change is bad, unless you’re one of those weird sort that’s terrified of change (fun fact: if you do have a fear of change you’d have cainotophobia). Even if you’re the type that has a week long rant every time Facebook changes you’ll love the new Sportsbook Guardian site and here’s why:

Dedicated Horse Racing Section

We love racing here at Sportsbook Guardian, whether it’s National Hunt, flat racing or point to point. We love to watch it, read about it, talk about it and bet on it. So we’ve set up a dedicated horse racing section. There’s an in depth section on flat racing and jumps racing where you’ll find information on all the major meetings in Britain.

For the serious but novice punters we also have a comprehensive guide on betting and winning strategies and seperate ones both for the Grand National and Cheltenham Festival.

But if you were looking for racing related fun facts instead we’ve got plenty of those too, there’s a great gallery of all the UK racecourses, the complete list of all the Grand National winners since the very first race in 1839 as well as a description of all the major races at the Cheltenham Festival. This is not even taking into account the numerous blogs on racing.

Simply put, we’re passionate about racing and we want to share that passion with you, and if you’d like to have a punt via any of the bookies listed on our site we’ve got all the information you need to make sure you have a well informed bet.

Reader Participation

We know that everyone has a preferred bookmaker, and although we do our utmost to provide you with informative reviews of each bookmaker listed on this site we *may at times play a bit of favoritism. So, to overcome this we’ve handed over the reins to you, our readers. You can all now write your own review of every bookmaker we promote on our site. Do you have a favorite bookie? Had a bad experience with one of them? Let us know. At the bottom of each of our own reviews you can enter your own.

This way, if you’re unsure of which bookmaker to use don’t take our word for it, find out what everyone else has to say about it.

I’m a fairly recent newcomer to the world of gambling. Having landed a job at Hyperion my induction to betting began and just a month later in April 2010 I placed my first bet.

As you may have guessed this was for the Grand National. I walked into my local bookie and placed an exciting £1 stake on Character Building to win; hopeful that Nina Carberry would be the first female jockey to win the Grand National and simultaneously launching my betting career with a bang.

I stuck around the betting shop to watch my horse come in 7th.

Oh well, there’s never a last race.
