GIANT SCREEN UNVEILED BY BORO DUO
Elise Brunton
Middlesbrough's giant screen was officially unveiled to the public yesterday with the
help of Boro stars Julio Arca and Seb Hines.
The screen has been erected to broadcast the Beijing Games and London Olympic
Handover Ceremony.
Looking down on Middlesbrough's impressive centre square, the giant screen marks
Middlesbrough as a thoroughly modern town and forms an important part of the town's
regeneration.
It may also be used in future to broadcast local events such as music concerts and
sports events.
Funded by the National Lottery through the Olympics Lottery Distributor (OLD) and
London 2012 partners, Lloyds TSB and BT, the screen is expected to last ten
years.
The screen is made of toughened glass which has been used to make a similar screen
at a cricket ground and should therefore withstand vandalism.
Chair of OLD Janet Paraskeva said: "The Olympic and Paralympic Games are one of the
greatest of all international events and these new Live Sites in the heart of some
of our major cities will create a focal point for communities to come together and
enjoy the events."
Middlesbrough is one of eight towns and cities to receive the screens.
Cardiff, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Swansea and Waltham Forest all have screens, while
Norwich and Bristol are waiting for planning permission.
Juliet Farrar, Head of Cultural Services in Middlesbrough, said: "We're proud that
Middlesbrough has been chosen to have a permanent screen erected in the city
centre.
"The Celebration event in Middlesbrough is a great opportunity for local residents
to take part in the UK's handover celebrations and I urge local people to come down
on the 24th [of August] to celebrate this historic occasion."
Each town has invited local sports stars to help unveil their screen.
Injured Boro midfielder Julio Arca and promising young defender Seb Hines were on
hand yesterday to pose for photos and sign autographs for fans.
Arca was limping slightly but still stopped to speak to the children who were
playing in the fountains next to mima.
Speaking to ComeOnBoro, Seb Hines said: "It's good for the community of
Middlesbrough.
"It will attract more people to watch the Olympics, which is good for the whole of
England."
And will Hines be following the Olympics himself?
"Yes definitely. Everyone watches the Olympics!"
After a good run of friendlies in pre-season, Boro are looking fit and ready to go.
Seb said: "I'm looking foward to getting back. After a long break, you want get back
to the routine and I'm definitely looking foward to the new season."

A GUARANTEED PROFIT OF AT LEAST £45.64 ON STANDARD LIEGE v SAMPDORIA
There's some great Uefa Cup matches this midweek and did you know that it is possible to win money on Wednesday evening's Uefa Cup clash between Standard Liege and Sampdoria, whatever the result?
The game kicks off at 7.45pm UK Time and we can guarantee you a profit of at least £45.64, whatever the result of the match. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions below and then sit back and enjoy the game. At full-time, you will be at least £45.64 better off, whatever the result of the match.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now because if the odds change, then the figures here will be invalidated. If they have changed, let us know and we will rework the bet for you.
You can still do this if you have a Betfair account but your overall profit will be reduced by £25.00 as you won't receive the £25.00 cashback as an existing account holder.
If you are unsure about this bet, you are most welcome to call us on 01642 223229 and we will help you as much as we can.
We're going to lay out a total of £104.00 on the Standard Liege v Sampdoria match and we will collect £149.87 if Standard Liege win, £149.64 if Sampdoria win and £151.50 if it is a draw. That's a minimum profit of over 43%, a much higher interest rate than you will get in any high street bank.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open an account with Sky Bet .
Open an account with Betfair. It is really important that you enter the promotional code of FTB125 when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Extrabet .
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.
Deposit £41.00 into your new Sky Bet
account.
Deposit £38.00 into your new Betfair account.
Deposit £25.00 into your Extrabet account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Place £41.00 on Standard Liege at 11/8 with Sky Bet
.
Sky Bet will now add a £20.00 free bet to your account. Place this on Standard Liege as well. You will now have £61.00 riding on Standard Liege.
Back Sampdoria with £38.00 at 3.4 (or higher if available) with Betfair.
Place £25.00 on the draw at 3.03 with Extrabet .
Extrabet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £50.00 riding on the draw.

You have temporarily laid out a total of £104.00 on the Standard Liege v Sampdoria match. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game. All winnings are paid out on the ninety minute result.
If Standard Liege win, you collect £149.87. That's £124.87 from Sky Bet plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If Sampdoria win, you collect £149.64. That's £124.64 from Betfair plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If it's a draw you collect £151.50. That's £126.50 from Extrabet plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Standard Liege v Sampdoria match is Sampdoria win and you make £45.64 profit. However, if Standard Liege win you make £45.87 profit and if it's a draw you make £47.50. That's a minimum profit of over 43%, a much better rate of interest that you would get at any high street bank or building society.

We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that this is the fifth season that we have been publishing arbitrage bets and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
