First off my apologies, I didn't do an update for Wimbledon. Even though it's a little late I'll make on now. Other than that the only event worth mentioning as amongst the betting events is the Irish Derby which I'll cover here as well.

Wimbledon Championships (22.06 - 05.07)
The Grand Slam event has been in existence for 130 years now and over the years has showcased the very best tennis players on the pro circuit. As such it has also become an extremely popular tennis betting event and shouldn't be missed out on as an opportunity to place some well thought-out bets by punters.

Wimbledon Resources:
- The Official Wimbledon Championships website
- News for the Grand Slam from BBC Tennis
- The brief Wimbledon Betting site
- The comprehensive Wimbledon Championships Betting guide
- Free and live Wimbledon Betting Odds
- Here's a good post on where you can watch the Wimbledon matches live

Irish Derby (28.06.09)
The Irish Derby is a flat race for thoroughbred colts and fillies and is the oldest of the 5 Classic Irish races. You may have heard it referred to as the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, seeing as Dubai Duty Free is the 2009 sponsor for the event. In any case it will make for excellent betting for horse racing punters.

Irish Derby Resources:
- The Derby is run at the Curragh Racecourse, their site has a fair deal of information on the event.
- Horse Racing News by the Racing Post is probably the best way to stay up-to-date
- They also provide Horse Racing Cards, including a very detailed one for the Derby
- The Curragh Derby Festival site provides the most comprehensive overview of the event.
- Check out the Horse Racing Odds Check to get live odds comparisons for the Derby
- And if you want a good tip keep an eye on the Guru's Free Horse Racing Betting Tips
- Or alternatively keep in mind that the Racing Post also has an extensive Racing Tips section.

As always best of luck to all of you!
