21 April 2009 | About Jaymes Monte

Hope is a dangerous concept. With it, brings anticipation and expectation but even more inevitably comes disappointment and despair. Yet without it, where would I be? After Ronaldo's winner against Porto last week I allowed myself to believe that this... Read more | Comment now

3 March 2009 | About Jaymes Monte

What can be said here that hasn't been said before!? Not a lot if truth be told. Barney won his match rather unconvincingly and there was definitely value in laying him at [1.8] - he traded at [3.0] after the... Read more | Comment now

Monte's Multiple: Back Baxter, City and Sri Lanka

27 January 2009 | About Jaymes Monte
