8 July - The Ashes
The bets
Top series run-scorer - Kevin Pietersen £5 @ 6/1
Top series wicket-taker - Graeme Swann £5 @ 9/2
Placed by: P
Result: Pietersen, lost - Swann, won £27.50
Information:
5th test
Pietersen clock two half-centuries but that was only good enough for third in the list. 174 runs behind Ian Bell and 30 behind Shane Watson.
Woo-hoo! A winner! Swann finishes with 26 wickets, two clear of Ryan Harris to give us our first pick up.
4th test
Another ton from Bell sees Pietersen over 200 behind on aggregate totals now. This one's just about over.
Swann is still top of this pile and has a three wicket lead but a good fifth match from Ryan Harris, Stuart Broad, James Anderson or Peter Siddle could yet deny him the honours.
3rd test
Pietersen's first innings 113 lifts him to fourth in the run rankings but is still 175 behind Ian Bell.
Swann is now leading wicket-taker, three ahead of Peter Siddle and four in front of James Anderson.
2nd test
A poor effort from Pietersen making just 2 and 5 and picking up a calf strain which means he may miss the third test. He's now 11th in the list, 232 behind Ian Bell. I can't see this one coming off.
Swann had a much better match. His nine wickets at Lord's put him joint top with Anderson on 13. Peter Siddle is two further back.
1st test
After the first test Pietersen's 78 runs (14 & 64) see him fifth in the rankings, 56 behind Trent Bridge century maker Ian Bell.
As for the bowlers, Swann has four wickets while James Anderson's ten shows why he was 3/1 favourite before the off.

20 April - World Snooker Championship
The bets:
Mark Selby £5 @ 6/1
Mark Allen £2.50 e/w @ 14/1
Placed by: P
Results:
Allen knocked out in round one.
Selby knocked out in round two.
Information:
Mark Allen was 8-6 up in his first round match against Mark King but then contrived to lose four frames in a row. "I wouldn't say it's a setback but it's disappointing, obviously, today," said Allen. "It'll have no bearing on my future matches; it's just one of those things. Mark played his best snooker of the match from 8-6. I don't need geeing up. It's nice to do well, but I won't dwell on it."
Selby also blew a lead in his match to Barry Hawkins going from 9-6 up to a 13-10 defeat. The world number one said: ""I struggled all the way through the match and Barry took the chances and scored better than me. I have struggled all season but won two events, even though I was not playing great.
Coming here I was confident but to perform like that is a disappointment. I had no drive, no buzz out there and I didn't really show up."

11 April - The Masters
The bets:
Phil Mickelson
Nick Watney
Justin Rose
Placed by: K
The results:
Mickelson T54
Watney - T13
Rose - T25
Report: Not a huge disaster but nothing to shout about either. Phil Mickelson shot an opening round 71 to be well poised but then couldn't break par for the rest of the tournament.
Nick Watney made a dreadful start with a 78 but followed that with 69, 68, 72 for a never-nearer 13th place.
Justin Rose faded on the weekend. Three under going into Saturday, rounds of 75, 74 on the weekend blew any chance for the Brit.

6 April - Grand National
The bet: £5 e/w on Chicago Grey @10/1
Placed by: K
The result: Pulled up
Information: The Racing Post race-readers wrote the following: "In rear, jumped slowly, blundered 3rd, behind from 19th, tailed off when badly hampered and pulled up last".
So, the first bet on new Gamblor was singularly unsuccessful.

About Gamblor
Gamblor was created to give a couple of blokes a bit of side-interest on sporting events.
It hasn't been a roaring success, neither has it been a disaster. It was running out of steam though so it has had a re-vamp for 2013 and this is Gamblor 2.0 if you will.
The bets and their outcomes will now be recorded here for better or worse.
