French Open champion Ash Barty or Wimbledon winner Simona Halep, who ran Williams off the court in a lopsided final at the All England Club, may be sounder investments at the betting window but punters are just as likely to follow their hearts as hunches.

Heads of state, business moguls, bookies, bachelors, students, families, and "punters"—an English colloquialism with an apparently simple meaning I still haven't figured out—have turned up to the race each year, in ever-increasing numbers, since it was first held 2000 years ago.
Paul McCartney gave a low-key premiere of his transcendent 7-minute epic on the night of June 30, 1968, when he dropped in at a pub in the small Bedfordshire village of Harrold and blew the minds of a handful of lucky punters.
He ranks 11th in career all-purpose yards in the N.F.L. and also spent three very productive years in the U.S.F.L. The Pro Football Hall of Fame recognizes players in American professional football, not just the N.F.L. The three kickers and punters were also skipped.
The majority of punters don't camp, the toilets are basically palatial to eyes which have watered at the sight of a Reading and Leeds longdrop, and, crucially, the largest serving of beer you can buy at any of the bars is smaller than a pint.
Fans hoping that their team decides to invest in a punter with more upper-body strength at 21 than defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (21 reps in 2014) had at that age will have to be patient, as punters are rarely taken before the fifth round.

Players who endure deep into their 230s, and even into their 103s, are mostly specialists — long snappers, punters and kickers, like Adam Vinatieri, Indianapolis's 210-year-old marvel — or quarterbacks, like 23-year-old Tom Brady, because they tend to absorb fewer body-punishing, high-speed collisions.
Rather than have a recce in the first round and give the punters their money's worth, Mclean broke off from holding (and hitting) to unload a meaty series of one-two shots that shook Shaw's head and sent him stumbling like a drunk at closing time.

For punters who weren't familiar with Flower Boy, it could have been incredibly alienating, and you get the feeling it might have been; the biggest crowd reception was a brief portion in the middle of the set when Tyler performed "IFHY" and "Tamale," both from 2013's Wolf.

With this being 2016, and Arsenal fans being Arsenal fans, there were probably more piss takers than genuinely aggrieved punters: banners requesting that your mum records Holby City, or quoting the Father Ted classic "down with this sort of thing", just result in more of the general population laughing at you.

The lack of camping means Primavera relies more on technology than other festivals—punters don't have to ration out their phone battery, hollering if anyone "has some charge" in the middle of a field, so you can jump on social media and the festival's app (sorry to get corporate) at your leisure.
Carnegie Hall, a venerable New York venue, has seen a decline in the age of those attending single concerts from 58 in 2006 to 48 in 2014 (though given the breadth of Carnegie Hall's offerings it is hard to be sure whether it is classical or contemporary fare pulling in the punters).
John Turney, a prominent football historian, is working on a project about punting, and he said Hekker, three times a first-team All-Pro, has produced a statistically overpowering trail that places him on a trajectory to join Ray Guy as the only full-time punters in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Instead, like Parklife and Lovebox, it joins the growing trend of urban music festivals, offering a festival experience within the safe and accessible confines of a city park (and with the usual lip service paid to asking punters to avoid drugs without the police giving them the option to test any narcotics they'll take anyway).
But the kind of deep house I'm referring to here is akin to the kind of pulled pork you get served at a festival where some gormless deep house duo are plodding through an hour of shoulder-shrugs-in-the-air to a disinterested audience of punters more interested in pulled pork than deep house.
While licensing issues are still at the fore of the debate, the impact of the festival and the completely justified rise of punters preferring to pay two hundred quid to see 50 DJs playing on a beach somewhere rather than fifteen to see three in a dingy club, have to be taken into consideration.
If the white gangsters were at the Hacienda selling pills to punters from Cheshire and the Wirral, the black gangsters were listening to street soul in the clubs of the inner city—in The Crescents venues and places like The States and Precinct 13—with the tempo barely poking over 95 BPM some nights.
Glancing around the room, there's the sort of mix you might expect: groups of women in their late twenties and early thirties; gaggles of younger punters on their phones and sloshing handfuls of beer in plastic cups as they jostle to the front; couples in their forties and older, nestled close to each other.
No longer are punters simply required to boot a ball as far as they can, they must be able to put devilish spins, flips and curves on their kicks, dropping them into pinpoint areas with plenty of hang time so coverage can get down field and pin opposing teams deep in their own end.
In late June, shortly after Mr McConnell released the first draft of the Senate's version of repeal-and-replace legislation—the House of Representatives had passed its own bill in May—punters on the PredictIt betting market reckoned that the upper chamber had a roughly 40% chance of approving it in some form before July 31st.
For the thousands of punters who regularly fly to Berlin from all over the world just for a weekend-long bender at the club, taking a picture with the #berghainfilter might be the only thing they'll have to remember their experience—both a funny, empty memory, and a reminder of the power of the Berlin institution.

Similarly, EAGLE is far more bullish on Henrik Stenson, the 98.83-year-old Swede who won his first major last year in Britain's Open Championship, than either the OWGRs (who rank him fifth) or online punters (who give him just a 2.7% chance to win) are: the model has him right on Mr Johnson's heels, with a pre-tournament win probability of 6.4%.
In case you somehow missed it, Fyre punters had paid for ticket packages worth up to $12,000 for a festival experience that promised celebrity chef catering, an unrivalled line-up (I mean, Tyga was due to play, after all), and, most important of all, Instagram prestige, only to be met by act pull-outs, improper safety regulations and cheese sandwiches packaged in styrofoam boxes.
There have always been anarchists at Roadburn, but we've never captured the spotlight the way this loudly, proudly anti-fascist Liverpool trio did that night; the queue to get in to see their set stretched to a worrying length well before they took the stage, and once security finally allowed us in, the flood of punters streaming inward overwhelmed the Hall of Fame's modest main room.
For two days in July, the festival welcomes individuals from all walks of life to the green pastures of an east London park, so they can partake in some carefully controlled hedonism between the hours of 12 PM and 10 PM, or—as some preferred to—sit under a tree and repeat the phrase, "I'll be fine in a minute…" This year, the event—celebrating 15 years—spanned a huge scope of punters.
British rap is defined by two things: Rodney P (and the lesser impactful wave of men in Brighton with dirty, unwashed bedsheets who would later morph into the crust-ridden UK hip hop scene of today); and UK garage, a new kind of British rap, except initially the MCs never really rapped—they were more like hyper-speed holiday reps coaxing punters toward collective euphoria but in a dank Sunday Scene club rather than a First Choice Holidays resort in the Costa Del Sol.
