Despite standing a massive chance of winning promotion to The Championship this Saturday, Leeds United’s game against Bristol Rovers is not being televised! It isn’t even on any of those dodgy internet streaming sites… not that I would know.
However, it has been brought to my attention that online bookmakers, Bet365, stream selected League One games; but only to non-UK customers. Racists. It is something to do with TV rights and us Brits not being allowed to see our national game being played. Racists.
After some clever thinking, I have managed to ‘trick’ the Bet365 website into thinking I’m European and therefore allowing me to watch English football. How have I done this? No, I haven’t just eaten a load of cheese and worn garlic around my neck – I am using a proxy to make it look like I am on a Belgium internet connection. Simples.
Bet365 are yet to announce their fixtures for the weekend, but I hope Leeds’ game is included. If I do use the proxy, however, I am slightly worried that Ray Winstone – the big, tough cockney who advertises the bookmakers on Sky, will come round to my flat to ‘Sort me out’.
