APRIL 20: NORWICH v LIVERPOOL TIPS

Carrow Road, Sunday, 12pm IF Sunderland can win at Chelsea anything can happen in football – maybe Liverpool will be crowned champions after an absence of 24 years. Last week I tentatively tipped Liverpool to beat Man City and said it would be the day we discovered if Brendan...

CONFERENCE PREMIER: WHAT’S YOUR NAP

THE nap experiment continues after a mainly successful night betting on Irish football. St Pat's -2 was the most popular suggestion and that came up easily as they beat Ballinamallard 5-0. I picked three of the best-backed tips and of the other two Bohemians won but Glentoran lost 2-1...

MAR 2: CAPITAL ONE CUP FINAL TIPS

IF games were won on stats they'd hand Gus Poyet the Capital One Cup before Sunday's Wembley showpiece. Sunderland have lost just one in five meetings with Man City – edging three of them 1-0 – according to the oddschecker app. But as we know there are damned lies...

FEB 23: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

TWO aways tempt in the Premier League on Sunday while Liverpool should smash Swansea at Anfield. Spurs boss Tim Sherwood showed what the trip to Norwich means to him when he played a weakened side in the Europa League at Dnipro last week. On the evidence of Spurs' previous...

FA CUP: LATEST BETTING NEWS

MANCHESTER CITY are 1-1 favourites for the FA Cup after landing a quarter-final draw with Wigan. In a repeat of last year's final former City star Uwe Rosler's side are 16-1 with Ladbrokes to qualify. Arsenal's odds have been cut into 5-2 while Everton are next in the betting...

FA CUP: ARSENAL v LIVERPOOL PREVIEW

ANYONE who watched Liverpool blast four past Arsenal in the opening 20 minutes of last week's Premier League encounter will really fancy them to repeat their success in the FA Cup on Sunday. It was four going on eight as the Gunners fell apart and in the end they...

FEB 15-17: FA CUP TEAM NEWS

TEAM news is key when it comes to FA Cup ties but more important is a manager's attitude to the tournament. It's not always possible for me as a tipster but I'd advise seeing starting line-ups before having a bet. Anyway here's some team news that may or may...

FEB 4: FULHAM v SHEFF UTD TIPS

IN a way tonight's FA Cup replay is a tie neither side needs as league points are the priority. But it might be the only game they can triumph in – with neither experiencing a league victory since New Year's Day. After slumping to the foot of the Premier...

FEB 3: MAN CITY v CHELSEA BETTING TIPS

IT'S being billed as a title decider but of course it's too early for that – but Man City will know the importance of moving six points clear of Chelsea with a win. This game could go two ways – either City steamroller their rivals as they have done...

JAN 30: MR FIXIT’S FOOTBALL PREVIEW

WATFORD went from zeroes to heroes with fixed-odds fans at the weekend as they blew a 2-0 half-time lead to lose 4-2. Their first-half display transformed Man City from 1-20 shots to 5-2 at one point – and the beauty of the internet allowed me to advise backing the...

JAN 26-27: LATEST TEAM NEWS

HERE'S the team news for Sunday's FA Cup and SPFL matches. Knowing who is injured or suspended is important but when it comes to cup ties you want to know the strength of side being put out. So have a look at these and keep your eye on manager's...

JAN 25: FA CUP TEAM NEWS

TEAM news is vital this weekend but in FA Cup ties it's also important to see what teams are going to be at full strength. This gives you some idea about who's on and who's out but keep an eye on managers' comments to see how they are approaching...

JAN 19: CHELSEA v MAN UNITED TIPS

NO Rooney, no van Persie, no chance. Maybe that's a slight exaggeration because you can never write off Man United but I really fancy Chelsea today. Jose Mourinho has never lost to Davie Moyes as a manager and the Blues were the better side when they drew 0-0 at...

JAN 18: BETWAY ENHANCED TOP TREBLE

THERE were plenty of candidates for the Betway Enhanced Treble this weekend so hopefully I've gone for the right ones. Sides on my shortlist included Birmingham, Wigan, Leicester, Orient, Dunfermline and Stranraer but in the end I've gone for Middlesbrough, Scunthorpe and St Johnstone. So let's start with Middlesbrough...

JAN 12-13: PREMIER LEAGUE/SPFL TEAM NEWS

HERE'S the team news I've got for Sunday's Premier League matches and Inverness v Dundee United in the SPFL. I'll do this when I can because I know how useful it is but I can't always manage. Newcastle (8) v Manchester City (2) Goalkeeper Tim Krul (shoulder) and midfielder...

DEC 29: CHELSEA v LIVERPOOL TIPS

THERE'S no doubt about the biggest game of the day as title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool clash head on at Stamford Bridge (4pm). Jose Mourinho turned his side into boring Chelsea to draw 0-0 at Arsenal and on Boxing Day they edged past Swansea 1-0 although should have scored...

DEC 29: SPFL STATS PACK

IT'S been a busy spell for clubs and there's been no rest for William Hill's Owen Scott as he searches out the vital stats form Sunday's Premiership card. Here are his pointers on the big Scottish games (William Hill prices) – and look out for McBookie.com's Jim Goodwin specials...

DEC 28: ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE PREVIEW

LOOKS like my Swansea Super Single tip has split opinions but I'm quietly confident the Welsh side will win at Aston Villa. Villa look a side really lacking spark and the man who can give it to them, Christian Benteke, is missing – as is influential defender Ron Vlaar....

DEC 28: BETWAY ENHANCED TOP TREBLE

IT'S a bit of a funny weekend with the card split between Saturday and Sunday and of course many teams will be playing their second game in three days and that often upsets form. Boxing Day results weren't the best and my advice would be to play with low...

DEC 26: ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE PREVIEW

BOOKIES will suffer a Boxing Day bashing if all the English big guns do the business. Apart from the late Man City v Liverpool cracker all the top-six contenders are priced up short. An accumulator on Everton, Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd and Spurs pays an inviting 12-1 at...

DEC 23: ARSENAL v CHELSEA BETTING TIPS

ARSENE WENGER meets his nemesis tonight (8pm) but that won't stop me backing Arsenal to beat Chelsea in what could be a pre-Christmas cracker. The Frenchman has faced Jose Mourinho nine times – and never won (five defeats, four draws). A 2-0 Capital One Cup defeat back in October...

SUAREZ LOOKS A RECORD BREAKER

I WASN'T impressed by a best price of 2-1 for Luis Suarez to score first for Liverpool at Cardiff – but ended up taking it. Let's be honest, 2-1 is a rubbish price for a first score but bookies are running as scared as Roy Hodgson of the hitman...

DEC 21: THE BIG EARLY KICK-OFFS

THERE could be goals galore at lunchtime with Celtic v Hearts and Liverpool v Cardiff on our TV screens. I'll miss most of both to take in Clydebank v Auchinleck but before I go I'll betting on goals at Celtic Park and Anfield. Celtic -2 is on my Top...

IS VILLAS-BOAS A BOSS ON THE BRINK?

SPURS boss Andre Villas-Boas has been cut to 1-3* to be the next Premier League manager to go after his side's 5-0 defeat at home to Liverpool. The result means Spurs have won just one of their last six league matches at White Hart Lane and sit seventh in...

DEC 15: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

I'VE not included any of the Premier League teams among my top tip selections and there's a reason for that. Norwich v Swansea (1.30pm) and Spurs v Liverpool (4pm) could go either way while Man United look to short to trust at Aston Villa (1.30pm). I'm going to stick...

DEC 14: MAN CITY v ARSENAL BETTING TIPS

THE weekend gets under way with a belter as Man City entertain Arsenal at the Etihad (12.45pm). It has the potential to be a cracker but whatever happens it should end up with three points staying in Manchester. Arsenal have been tremendous this season since losing to Aston Villa...

DEC 4: BTTS & SCORE AND WIN TIPS

ONE goal beat the both teams to score treble last night and I was one goal away from a lovely 125-1 score and win treble. All four SPFL games last night saw both sides on target – even Forfar at Rangers – so I'm starting my both to score...

DEC 4: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

ARSENAL are four points clear of the chasing pack and there's now way that gap will be reduced on Wednesday. The Gunners have a routine home clash with Hull – and it should be routine despite Steve Bruce's men beating Liverpool 3-1 at the weekend. Hull have lost five...

DEC 1: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

THERE are some big games in the Premier League today with Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool all in action while Man United travel to Spurs. We know how good City are at home and they showed that again last weekend with a 6-0 rout of shocking Spurs. Swansea arrive...

MR FIXIT’S SATURDAY SHORTLIST

EVERY Wednesday I walk down the bookies, pick up some coupons and head for the local park. While the dug has a run I'm the idiot sitting at the picnic table in the freezing cold poring over the weekend's fixtures. Without looking at form, stats or team news I...

NOV 26: OVER 2.5 GOALS/BTTS TIPS

ROTHERHAM may have drawn 0-0 at home to Carlisle at the weekend – but they won't get away with that scoreline tonight. They travel to Northampton to play Coventry where just about every match has been a goalfest. It's now 42 goals in nine home matches for the Sky...

NOV 16: ENGLISH FOOTBALL LEAGUE STATS PACK

PICKING winners is a little tougher on Saturday with no English or Scottish top-flight games and no CHampionship matches in England. The focus will be on the lower leagues and I've posted an SPFL stats pack. Here are some vital facts picked out by oddschecker that may help you...

NOV 10: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

IT'S a big day in the English Premiership and Man United simply can't afford to fall 11 points behind leaders Arsenal when they might at Old Trafford. A win for Davie Moyes' men will close the gap to a respectable five so this really is a six-pointer so early...

NOV 9: BETWAY ENHANCED TOP TREBLE

JUST one side beat my treble last weekend and it happened to be the shortest-priced side on the line. Berwick failed to win at junior side Culter in the Scottish Cup while there were comfortable wins for West Brom and Coventry. My Top Treble this weekend starts with Liverpool...

NOV 3: EVERTON v SPURS BETTING TIPS

Today, Goodison Park, 1.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1 EVERTON and Spurs have started the season pretty well and it's tough to pick a winner when they clash at Goodison. Both have lost just once this season and a draw at 12-5 with bet365 must have a chance. Spurs...

NOV 2: SCORE AND WIN BIG GAMBLE

SINCE bookies started the both teams to score markets and coupons has a bet been so popular. I'm talking about the score and win market. Prices range roughly from 2-1 to about 10-1 and it's those odds that have attracted punters. People are talking about the market everywhere I...

NOV 2: ARSENAL v LIVERPOOL BETTING TIPS

Today, the Emirates, 5.3pm, live on Sky Sports 1 ARSENAL failed in a £40million bid for Luis Suarez in the summer – and tonight we could find out why Arsene Wenger wanted to sign the Uruguayan enigma. The Liverpool star has netted two in two at the Emirates and...

OCT 29: CAPITAL ONE CUP PREVIEW

IT'S a big night in the Capital One Cup but check team news before having a bet. Most sides will make massive changes from their weekend line-ups but Chelsea should be more experienced than Arsenal and are worth a look at 9-5 with bet365 at the Emirates. Man United...

OCT 28: BRIGHTON v WATFORD BETTING TIPS

Monday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 IF ever a game suggested an away win it's this one – but we know Championship games don't always go the way we expect. Take Derby v Birmingham on Saturday for example. It was my headline tip of the weekend and the...

OCT 22: OVER 2.5 GOALS BETTING TIPS

AFTER Sunday's success with a fourfold that paid 11-1 in some places I'm back with an over 2.5 goals combo. To be fair there isn't much difference between the btts and over 2.5 goals – only a 1-1 draw will bring up btts and not overs – but prices...

OCT 21: PALACE v FULHAM BETTING TIPS

Tonight, Selhurst Park, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 SOMETIMES you look at a fixture and all you see are nils. No thrills or spills – just nils. However, games that promise to be dull on paper can surprise. For example who would have predicted St Mirren 4, St...

OCT 19: NEWCASTLE v LIVERPOOL TIPS

St James's Park, Saturday, 12.45pm, live on BT Sport SINCE the days of Kevin Keegan and Liverpool 4, Newcastle 3 results the fixture has been much anticipated on the English card. It rarely fail to deliver thrills and spills and there has never been a 0-0 between the pair...

OCT 8: JP TROPHY BETTING PREVIEW

MONDAY was fairly quiet but a winning Super Single saved the day after my attempt at landing a fairly obscure treble failed. The teams on the card are more familiar to us on Tuesday but there will be the usual problems with trying to find winners with some sides...

SEP 30: EVERTON v NEWCASTLE TIPS

EVERTON are the only side still unbeaten in the Premier league and their record should remain intact tonight against Newcastle. Roberto Martinez's side have started the season well despite the loss of Merouane Fellaini and David Moyes to Man United. Bringing in Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea was...

SEP 28: BETWAY ENHANCED TOP TREBLE

MY Saturday treble landed for the fourth time last weekend – so that's a 50 per cent hit rate at odds of no shorter than 15-4. The ROI is huge and last week's selections – Swindon, Mansfield and Hamilton – gave us a nice 5-1 winner. I'm hoping to...

SEP 23: MR FIXIT’S SUPER SINGLE

Griffin Park, Monday, 7.45, live on Sky Sports I'M going for three in a row after weekend wins for Preston and Napoli and I'm focusing on the Brentford v Orient game. Orient have made a sensational start to the season with seven wins and are the only side in...

SEP 22: MR FIXIT’S SUPER SINGLE

San Siro, Sunday, 7.45, live on BT Sport I'M well aware no two games are the same and no two team performances are identical. That was made clear by Millwall for example who were thumped 5-1 at home to Derby last weekend then followed up by beating Championship leaders...

SEP 22: MAN CITY v MAN UTD TIPS

Sunday, the Etihad, 4pm, live on Sky Sports THERE are some huge games on Sunday and possibly the biggest is the Man City v Man United Premier League derby. It's been a tough start for new boss Davie Moyes whose men have faced Chelsea and Liverpool and now City...

SEP 17: MR FIXIT’S TOP TREBLES

IT'S a busy day of football and here are my Top Treble and both teams to score tips. A Champions League treble and Super Single have been posted separately. I've mentioned a few teams in my comments and I'm wary about taking too many selections and talking up too...

SEP 17: MR FIXIT’S SUPER SINGLE

THE two Super Singles I suggested yesterday – Honka and Roma both came in – and I've decided to go with the side that stands out a mile on Tuesday. I actually mentioned Blackpool yesterday afternoon and a couple of times throughout the day because the price was too...

SEP 15: OVERS/UNDER TREBLE

I'M moving away from both teams to score bets on Sunday and trying an over/under 2.5 goals treble. There isn't much difference between a btts and over 2.5 goals pick but of course 1-1 for example doesn't bring up the later. I'm starting with over 2.5 goals at the...

SEP 14: MAN UTD v C PALACE TIPS

I DON'T get the criticism of Davie Moyes after just three games in charge of Man United. Do fans not remember how long it took Sir Alex Ferguson to get it right when he arrived at the club from Aberdeen. Moyes proved himself a decent job at Everton without...

SEP 1: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

IT really is a Super Sunday in the Premier League and hopefully the games will live up their billing. After an unbelievably dull Saturday where goals were at a premium we have Liverpool v Man United and Arsenal v Spurs to look forward to. The games are tough to...

AUG 31: MAN CITY v HULL BETTING TIPS

Saturday, Etihad Stadium, 12.45pm, live on BT Sport IF Man City are going to challenge for the title they'll have to keep the Etihad the same fortress it was under Roberto Mancini. City have lost their favourite's tag already after last weekend's shock defeat at Cardiff – and there...

25-1 CARDIFF: WHO WAS ON?

CARDIFF touched 25-1 with Ladbrokes during in-play betting against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. Malky Mackay's team began the match as the 11-2 outsiders and after Edin Dzeko's wonder goal the home side were quoted at 25-1 to pick up the points. Prior to kick-off Ladbrokes' biggest bet for...

AUG 26: MAN UTD v CHELSEA TIPS

Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 JOSE MOURINHO'S back – and on Monday he's back at Old Trafford to face a side he loves beating more than any other. His battles with Sir Alex Ferguson in his first spell in charge of the Blues was legendary and contributed...

MAN UTD BETTING LATEST

HAVING beaten Wigan to lift the Community Shield, Manchester United are 8-11 with Coral to win a major trophy in the 2013-14 season (1-1 not to). The Premier League champions are 5-2 to successfully defend their league title and it’s 20-1 they record a League and FA Cup double....

AUGUST 6: CAPITAL ONE CUP TIPS

TUESDAY'S a day when a lot of the good work at the weekend could be undone. That's because Tuesday is League Cup day and we all know how unfriendly a tournament that is to punters. We don't have much form or head-to-heads to look and we don't know which...

ANTEPOST BETTING: CORAL PRICES

OUR bookie of the month Coral are reporting heavy interest Watford and Fleetwood ahead of the big kick-off. Coral say they have seen plenty of support for a number of teams across the English leagues, most notably, Watford in the Championship and Fleetwood in League Two. The Hornets are...

AUGUST 2: SHEFF UTD v NOTTS COUNTY TIPS

THE English season officially kicks off at 7.45 and the Sky cameras have picked a match that looks close to call. Early games are always fairly tight anyway and I don't expect fireworks when the Blades entertain Notts County. United are fourth favourites for the title at 11-1 with...

CHAMPIONSHIP: ANTEPOST BETTING TIPS

IT'S one of the toughest title races to call – the English Championship is a gruelling 46-match race to the finish. It's a marathon not a sprint and there will be plenty of twists and turns throughout the campaign. Relegated clubs QPR, Reading and Wigan are in the top...

MAY 29: ENGLAND v REP IRELAND TIPS

England v Republic of Ireland, Wednesday, 8pm, ITV Match odds: England 1.52, Rep of Ireland 8.0, Draw 4.4 YOU have to feel a little for Roy Hodgson, the timing of these friendlies couldn’t be any worse, coming just days after the draining domestic season came to a close. With...

MAY 27: CRYSTAL PALACE v WATFORD BETTING TIPS

Monday, Wembley, 3pm (live on Sky Sports 1) FAVOURITES Watford could be upset in the Championship play-off final against a resilient Crystal Palace side who have returned to form at the perfect time of the season. Two wins in three after a spell of nine games without victory take...

MAY 19: MILESEY’S LAY OF THE DAY

Real Zaragoza v Athletic Bilbao (6pm) ZARAGOZA are odds on for their La Liga clash with Bilbao this evening but those who tune in to Sky Sports Interactive at 6pm could be in for a surprise result. Real have climbed out of the relegation zone thanks to two wins...

MAY 19: MILESEY’S BET OF THE DAY

Liverpool v QPR (4pm) Back Liverpool to win both halves @ 2.4 (7-5) QPR complete their miserable campaign at Anfield but I can’t see them getting any respite from a rampant Liverpool. The Reds are unbeaten in seven since their abysmal performance at St Mary’s back in March. They...

MAY 19: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

IT'S the final weekend of the Premier League and after Wigan's loss to Arsenal in midweek settled the relegation issue there is only a Champions League place up for grabs on Sunday. Arsenal are in pole position to pip Spurs and elsewhere Sir Alex Ferguson and Davie Moyes say...

MAY 18: LEAGUE TWO PLAY-OFF FINAL TIPS

Bradford v Northampton, Wembley, 1.30pm THESE clubs both have hungry young managers in demand, both were looking over their shoulders at the wrong end of League Two last season and both are clearly better than that. They have regrouped and restructured, thrusting their managers into the spotlight with signs...

DAVID BECKHAM BETTING LATEST

THE news David Beckham has retired from football has prompted bookies Coral to offer odds on what Becks will do in the future, making him just 4-1 to appear on Reality TV. Beckham is 5-2 to be knighted this year and 16-1 to become England manager in the future....

MAY 14: READING v MAN CITY TIPS

AS far as disappointment dead rubbers go this one is right up there. Reading, relegated two weeks ago, face defeated FA Cup finalists Manchester City at the Madejski Stadium. The Royals are still aiming to not finish bottom of the table and can achieve that with a point after...

MAY 14: ARSENAL v WIGAN TIPS

Tuesday, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 1 NO FA Cup winning team has been relegated in the same season but you have to feel for Arsenal's opponents. Traditionally, winning an FA Cup was the crowning glory to the domestic season, the last say on proceedings and a major triumph to be...

MAY 13: BRIGHTON v C PALACE BETTING TIPS

Monday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 2 THERE'S little time to sit and back and reflect ahead of the second legs of these Championship play-offs with the rapid turnaround but Brighton will be favourites to reach the final with home advantage after the first leg ended goalless much to...

MAY 12: STOKE v SPURS BETTING TIPS

Sunday, 1.30pm, live on Sky Sports 1 AFTER fighting back twice to draw 2-2 at Chelsea on Wednesday, Spurs are still in the mix for Champions League qualification, but this is a game they surely need to win. Anything less than three points would allow Arsenal to gain an...

MAY 12: MAN UTD v SWANSEA BETTING TIPS

Old Trafford, Sunday, 4pm SIR ALEX FERGUSON first walked through the doors of Old Trafford on November 6, 1986. In his first game in charge he saw his side lose 2-0 at Oxford United – and they were lucky to get nothing. On Sunday afternoon – 26 years, 187...
