“New affiliate to pit bookie’s probabilities against real sports stats

A new affiliate site is being launched that will pit scientific predictions on sports outcomes based on real statistics against those from bookmakers

Bettii.com seeks to differentiate itself from other betting affiliates by providing football punters with a scientific alternative to the opinions of tipsters found on existing betting affiliate sites, closing the knowledge gap between them and online bookies.

Founder Oscar Lashley told eGaming Review:…”

36 Quai des Orfèvres

Straight to the point: “36 Quai des Orfevres” is a brilliant french action thriller starring Auteil and Depardieu. If you’re in the mood for a great flick this weekend – this’ll do you good.

UEFA on Joost!

The UEFA Channel on Joost.

I’m a sucker for the web based version of Joost. It runs smooth as hell and the interface is cool. To top it of they’ve got a UEFA channel. It doesn’t get any better… or if it’s possible guys: “Please make a goal channel – take www.livescore.com and add the goals and you’ve got a winner!”

I know the rights issue is a killer – but hey I’m just dreaming out loud…

Panasonic PX 80

Panasonic PX 80 is probably the best plasma under DKK6000 I’ve ever seen.

I’m converted that is for sure. I forgot all about the Sony Bravias when I saw this gem in action. Football on this screen is nothing less than magnificent.

On top of that it’s dirt cheap and has 3 HDMI slots for top notch connectivity. I’ve had this baby for little under a week at the office – and trust me when I say: BUY THIS NOW!

Step in the Arena

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt, Paris, 1910.

Signal Digital: A Social Media Agency

Denmark just got its first Social Media agency. It’s called Signal Digital and it’s actually been around since ‘95.

With Social Media as their new focal point they’re ready to point Danish businesses in the right web direction.

Pretty interesting and about time!

Stars: Set Yourself on Fire

With “Set Yourself on Fire” Canadian indie group Stars conquers my heart and playlist.

The gloomy and elegant album is a perfect companion for fall in Copenhagen.

Tristesse anno 2004. Brilliant.

The Paradox of Choice

Barry Schwartz: The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less.

To hell with complexity and too many options – be good at few things and stick to the simple solutions. I’m working on a social media project and I have to remind myself constantly: “Don’t try to solve everything at once. Locate a core value. Sell, sell,sell. Evaluate the market response and take appropiate action if needed.”

Need a desk in Copenhagen?

We do Social Media – and we’d love for YOU to join us!

If you like Gangstarr and KRS One this is just the thing you need.

Tipping Point

Malcolm Gladwell: The Tipping Point

I haven’t been posting much lately. I’ve been buried in good books.

There is actually no better way to spend your summer – especially if it’s raining – than with a decent read on social epidemics and a healthy dose of “Wire in the Blood”.

I’ve been meaning to read The Tipping Point for at least a year or so. It’s been lying on my bed stand the whole time, but for some strange reason I’ve been putting it off.

Then two weeks ago or something I thougt to myself “To hell with it!” and so I just started reading. Boy am I glad, that I finally got around to it! It’s fascinating stuff, especially the chapter on stickiness and childrens television. There are plenty of good pointers to “snake” from, if you’re looking to boost your business without a big marketing budget.

The Tipping Point is well worth your time.

I’ve just purchased Blink by Gladwell, so I’ll fill you in on that one next year.

Any book tips from dear readers? I’m in the market for historical thrillers and books on consumer behaviorism. Any one??
