FEB 5: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING
IT'S not a week I'm a big fan of – dominated by international friendlies and with some Johnstone Paint Trophy matches thrown in. However, it got off to a flying start with two 7-2 winners on Monday night thanks to Wycombe draw no bet and Matt McClure to score....
FEB 4: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
IT'S a quiet football night in the run-up to the friendly (or unfriendly as I prefer to call them) internationals on Wednesday. Sky Sports are showing Gillingham v Wycombe from League Two and on paper it looks like a home win. However, after closer inspection I don't know if...
FEB 3: PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS
HOW come the games people want to bet on are the toughest to predict? It's usually the case and I've been mulling over how the top match in the Premier League will go today. Liverpool travel to Man City (4pm) and it's in my mind that Brendan Rodgers' men...
ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
I'VE had a decent run on the both teams to score – with two complete winning lines and three others bringing up fourfolds from five in the past week. Let's hope I can keep on the right road this weekend and after goals galore in the Premier League –...
JAN 31: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
THERE'S no doubt the double people will want to be tonight is Leicester and Atletico Madrid – but remember the La Liga high-fliers are without Radamal Falcao. Leicester sit second in the Championship and are looking to take three points at home to struggling Wolves as they try to...
JAN 30: WEDNESDAY FOOTBALL BETTING ROUND-UP
BACKERS of favourites got their fingers burned on the FA Cup last weekend. Tonight four of the big guns who return to action are odds on and punters must decide to back them or blank them. I'm quite happy to support two of them but worried about the other...
JAN 29: TUESDAY FOOTBALL ROUND-UP
AFTER all the weekend shocks who'd be a football punter? Anyway we've dusted ourselves down and are ready to go again. There are four games in the Premier League and the one I've got my eye on is Aston Villa v Newcastle. I haven't fancied the Tynesiders for a...
JAN 25: MILLWALL v ASTON VILLA TIPS
PAUL LAMBERT survived a vote of confidence after his side's humbling Capital One Cup semi-final defeat to Bradford. But there will be more calls for his head if his men crash out of the FA Cup at Championship outfit Millwall tonight. Owner Randy Lerner is putting the emphasis on...
JAN 24: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
THE Spanish Cup takes centre stage tonight with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid favourites to join Real Madrid and Sevilla in the semi-finals. Barca head to Malaga (KO 9pm) level at 2-2 while Atletico (KO 7pm) take a 2-0 first-half lead to Real Betis. I expect La Liga's top two...
CAPITAL ONE CUP BETTING LATEST
SWANSEA are now just 1-5 with Ladbrokes to break Bradford's hearts in the Capital One Cup Final. The Bantams have a better chance of lifting the trophy than if they were to play Chelsea however with them priced at 10-3 to make history having been 1250-1 shots when the...
JAN 23: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
TUESDAY'S tips made up for a poor weekend and it was great to pick three anytime scorers who netted first. By the comments plenty of you backed Christian Benteke, Gary Hooper and Jordan Rhodes on both markets with my first-scorer treble paying 71-1 and the anytime part returning about...
JAN 23: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING
IT'S a big night for Swansea who are trying to teach their first major cup final – and set up a meeting with Bradford. The Swans will be aware they are massive favourites to win the trophy and it will take a collapse of Devon Loch proportions if they...
LAMBERT ODDS ON IN SACK RACE
PAUL LAMBERT is 5-6 with Coral to leave Villa Park by midnight on Saturday following Aston Villa’s shock elimination from the Capital One Cup. The result sees the pressure increase on the manager and with a tricky-looking FA Cup tie away to Millwall on Friday, Lambert’s could face the...
JAN 22: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
I'VE covered the big games at Villa Park and Parkhead elsewhere so here's my thoughts on some of the other matches. On the continent the biggest tie is the Italian Cup semi-final first leg between Serie A's top two Juventus and Lazio. But odds of 8-13 at Paddy Power...
JAN 22: ASTON VILLA v BRADFORD TIPS
ASTON VILLA were turned over in the first leg of the Capital One Cup but are still favourites to reach Wembley at the expense of League Two Bradford. Paul Lambert's men were beaten 3-1 but are no bigger than 11-10 with the likes of Paddy Power and Ladbrokes to...
JAN 21: SOUTHAMPTON v EVERTON TIPS
EVERTON head for St Mary's confident of adding to home fans' misery after the unpopular decision to axe boss Nigel Adkins. I don't like backing against sides with new managers but Southampton fans are up in arms, players aren't happy and it's not an ideal situation for Mauricio Pochettino....
JAN 20: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING
IT'S a second successive Super Sunday – and hopefully it will be as profitable as the last one. Last weekend I tipped up the Manchester double and today there could be a London party. The big games are Chelsea v Arsenal and Spurs v Man United and of course...
JAN 18: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
WINS for Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Belenenses plus Falcao's opener made it a good Thursday – and there's enough for punters to get their teeth into tonight. There's a big game in the Championship with Leicester entertaining Middlesbrough. A plunge on the Foxes, who have won four in a...
JAN 15: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
SUNDERLAND look one of the best bets in the FA Cup tonight and they launch my treble at home to Bolton. I'm also on West Brom against QPR and both should win if they play strong sides. Complete the treble with Brentford who are against a Southend side who...
JAN 13: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
RESULTS were poor for punters on Saturday – and bookies kept counting the cash in the evening with Real Madrid's draw at Osasuna a sore one for anyone who got involved. Hopefully things will get better – and certainly the matches at Arsenal and Man United should provide more...
JAN 13: SUPER SUNDAY TIPS
IT really is a Super Sunday and it could pay punters to bank on the Manchester rivals as they step up the title chase. United have beaten Liverpool in seven of the last eight league meetings at Old Trafford and should see off a side that's been hit and...
JAN 11: WOLVES v BLACKBURN TIPS
Friday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 ANYONE know how tonight's Championship clash between Wolves and Blackburn will go? I've got admit I don't have a clue. This assessment is nothing about form and all about the clubs' managerial manouvres. You baulk at backing against a side with a...
JAN 10: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
IT'S been said there's more chance of aliens landing on earth than Barcelona losing to Cordoba in the Spanish Cup tonight. The Nou Camp giants beat the second-tier minnows 2-0 away in the first leg and are expected to increase their advantage despite fielding a generally reserve team. Barca...
JAN 7: CHELTENHAM v EVERTON TIPS
Monday, 7.45pm, live on ESPN (updated with team news) GAMES such as Mansfield v Liverpool and Wigan v Bournemouth showed us the minnows can give the big guns frights in the FA Cup. The Liverpool game especially proved the importance of seeing starting line-ups before having a bet. As...
JAN 4: WALSALL v PORTSMOUTH TIPS
Friday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 AFTER Hearts v Hibs bored us tears for 80 minutes or so how will we cope with tonight's live TV offering from the Midlands. The Edinburgh derby never lived up to its billing but at least the final 10 minutes was more...
NEW YEAR’S DAY: PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS
ARSENAL are the first foots to St Mary’s and unlikely to be bearing gifts. Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were both on target in the 7-3 demolition of Newcastle on Saturday and it’s not the best time to face Arsene Wenger’s revived Gunners. Both ex-Saints could score again but...
DEC 30: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
IT'S tempting to go with big guns Chelsea and Liverpool on Sunday – but there is a case for leaving them alone. That's the difficulty of Premier League betting these days where increasingly most sides can beat any of the others. Chelsea travel to Everton and Liverpool head for...
DEC 29: BETWAY TOP TREBLE
STRANGELY my big Super Singles seem to be doing better than my Betway treble – even when the single pays more. That shouldn't be the norm and I'd prefer if both bets came up. There are six or seven sides that looked nailed on this weekend and hopefully I've...
BOXING DAY: ENGLISH FOOTBALL TIPS
BOXING DAY is a punters' paradise and it would be wonderful if we could get bookies to foot our festive bills. One side who should bring us some Christmas cheer are Chelsea who travel to Norwich after hitting 13 goals in one and half games. They followed a 5-1...
DEC 11: UK FOOTBALL BETTING
AFTER seven years without a trophy Arsene Wenger is suddenly eyeing one that never bothered him too much in the past. Arsenal tackle Bradford in the last eight of the League Cup and the French boss is playing a stronger side than usual in a bid to move closer...
DEC 10: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
FOOTBALL can be a cruel game. I was looking at three winners in Sunday's Premier League matches before four late goals in the three matches handed me a trio of losers. We all know football lasts 90 minutes (and more) so I can't complain but Man Utd's clincher, followed...
DEC 9: PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS
THERE'S a busy card in England on Sunday but the main focus will be on Man City v Man United. It's a massive game between the two sides Sir Alex Ferguson is certain will finish first and second in the Premier League. Champions City trail their rivals by three...
DEC 3: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
ON Sunday I asked if we could trust Norwich. The answer was yes – and they didn't let us down. Tonight I ask the same question about Newcastle – but the answer is different. Alan Pardew's men are on a terrible run and even at home to Wigan it's...
NOV 30: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
THEY say records are there to be broken and hopefully that's what Middlesbrough will do at Birmingham tonight. Boro beat me for five homes last weekend when they were shocked by Bristol City but bounced back well by defeating Huddersfield in midweek. Now Tony Mowbray's visit a struggling Birmingham...
NOV 28: EPL AND SPL BETTING
THE Premier League big guns are in action tonight – and all should win. Let's start with Chelsea who started Rafael Benitez's reign with a dour draw at home to Man City on Sunday. There was little to inspire the new boss but at least his men kept a...
NOV 25: PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS
RAFA BENITEZ makes his Chelsea bow tomorrow and he faces a rough ride – from his own fans as well as Man City. Ex-Liverpool boss Rafa hasn't been welcomed with open arms by the Blues support but in truth he's probably just a stop-gap with Pep Guardiola being courted...
NOV 19: WEST HAM v STOKE TIPS
WEST HAM impressed on their last outing at Newcastle as Sam Allardyce, Kevin Nolan and Andy Carroll made their former team suffer. The Hammers have taken a decent haul of 18 points and unlike fellow promoted sides Reading and Southampton have adapted quicker to like in the top flight....
IT’S HUGHES v HARRY
HARRY REDKNAPP could be waiting in the wings to take over at QPR according to Ladbrokes. The bookies make Redknapp odds on to be the next QPR manager at 4-7 after the London side's 3-1 home defeat to Southampton. Before kick=off odds of 10-1 were offered about QPR losing...
NOV 17: BETWAY ENHANCED TREBLE
I HAD a nice 7-1 winner on Wednesday night and I'd love to take that form into Saturday's treble after a disappointing run. It's three homes for me this weekend and I'm starting with two sides in the Championship whose only defeats recently have been at Cardiff who have...
NOV 13: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
IT'S not the greatest week for punters but if the form book plays out a profit should be made tonight at least. The card is dominated by FA Cup and Scottish Cup ties and there are some strong looking contenders. League One leaders Tranmere are being heavily backed and...
NOV 7: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
FIVE draws in the Champions League on Tuesday and a lack of goals in the English Championship made it a good night for bookies. My superb both teams to score run ended in spectacular fashion but I don't think anyone have bet on the likes of Middlesbrough and Millwall...
OCT 7: EPL/SPL TIPS
THERE are some huge games all over Europe on Sunday and some crackers in the Premier League. Newcastle v Man United has traditionally been one of the highlights of the season on Tyneside and last January Alan Pardew's men recorded a memorable 3-0 victory. Sir Alex Ferguson's Reds head...
OCT 1: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
THE one English fixture tonight is a Premier League clash between QPR and West Ham. Big-spending Rangers will feel they should be doing better than two points from five games and this is a chance to make amends. The Hammers have started the season better but have been much...
SEP 26: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
IT was a case of what might have been last night but still a profitable evening. The both teams to score line frustrated me with three out of three winning and the other two being postponed. I had high hopes for the fivefold but it was sod's law that...
SEP 25: MR FIXIT’S TIPS

SEP 21: BLACKBURN v MIDDLESBRO TIPS
Friday, Ewood Park, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 LEADERS Blackburn are 5-6 with the likes of Blue Square and Stan James to beat Middlesbrough in the Championship tonight – and it's a bet worth taking. Rovers are unbeaten in their opening six and a face a side who...
SEP 17: EVERTON v NEWCASTLE TIPS
Monday, Goodison Park, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 THERE is a decent-looking match on Sky tonight and remember the last time they were the Monday offering Everton produced a dazzling display to beat Man United. If they repeat that performance I have no doubt Davie Moyes' men will...
SEP 16: MR FIXIT’S TIPS
IT was a pretty exciting day in the Premier League and an awful one of the thousands of people who put Celtic or Rangers in their accumulators. Today's English top-flight encounter is tough to call and I'm looking at a draw between Reading and Spurs at 5-2 with bet365....
SEP 12: ORIENT v BRENTFORD TIPS
Thursday, Brisbane Road, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 RECENT games between this pair have been close with no more than one goal separating them in the last five meetings. Interestingly, although Brentford are favourites at 11-8 with Coral they haven't won any of those encounters with two draws...
SEP 2: FOOTBALL TIPS
IF Liverpool play like they did against Man City last weekend they should beat Arsenal on Sunday. if they perform as they did against Hearts they won't. Such is the vagaries of football betting that sides don't often perform the same two matches running. I tipped the Reds to...
AUGUST 26: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING
Sunday: Stoke v Arsenal (1.30pm), Liverpool v Man City (4pm) LIVERPOOL didn’t make the best of starts under Brendan Rodgers as they crashed 3-0 at West Brom and lost defender Daniel Agger. They weren't much better against Hearts in midweek as a weakened side won 1-0. But you can...
AUGUST 24: BOLTON v NOTTM FOREST
Tonight, Reebok Stadium, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 BOLTON took three scoreless halves to find their feet in the Championship – but finally produced the goods in the second half against Derby in midweek. Owen Coyle badly needed that result after opening with a 2-0 defeat at Burnley...
AUGUST 22: FOOTBALL TIPS
I ENJOYED a decent Tuesday with the highlight being a 15-1 both teams to score fivefold. It's one of my favourite markets, especially when I'm sitting watching the goals come in, and the games that did the busines were Charlton v Leicester, Burton v Wimbledon, Bournemouth v MK Dons,...
AUG 21: EVERTON v MAN UNITED TIPS
Monday, Goodison, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 AN interesting and exciting first round of Premier League games comes to an end tonight as Man United travel to Goodison. Sir Alex Ferguson has already seen likely title rivals Man City and Chelsea pick up maximum points and the boss...
SUNDAY: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING
I CAN'T see anything but a Man City victory on Sunday as Roberto Mancini's men launch the defence of their Premier League title at home to promoted Southampton. The Etihad boss hasn't strengthened his squad the way he would have liked wih the capture of £12million Everton midfielder Jack...
ENGLISH ANTEPOST BETTING
A COUPLE of weeks ago I was asked to write a piece for a Daily Record supplement tipping the winner of the Premier League. Even back then it looked a two-horse race for the title between Man City and Man United but I plumped for the Blues to edge...
AUGUST 17: CARDIFF v HUDDERSFIELD
Friday, Cardiff City Stadium, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 FOOTBALL'S a strange old game. On Wednesday Huddersfield fans were Scotland supporters as they cheered on an English-born hitman and tonight they travel to Wales. The English league season kicks off with what could be a cracker between a...
RVP BETTING SPECIALS
ROBIN VAN PERSIE is 5-1 with Ladbrokes to break last season's league goal haul of 31 when he arrives at Man United. The bookies were quick to react to the news he'd signed by cutting United to 9-4 (from 5-2) for the title as well as making him the...
AUGUST 13: ENGLISH FOOTBALL
FIRST-ROUND games in the League Cup have proved tough to call so keep any stakes low for tonight's ties. On Saturday eight of the matches ended in draws and on Sunday Blackpool were surprised at home to Morecambe. Tonight three Championship sides are in action away from home so...
AUGUST 12: COMMUNITY SHIELD
Chelsea v Man City, Sunday, 1.30pm, Villa Park, live on ITV1 IT should be a fairly relaxed affair at Villa Park as Man City and Chelsea fight it out for the Community Shield. This will be nothing like the cut and thrust of the Premier League as two of...
SPURS BOSS BETTING

MAY 26: HUDDERSFIELD v SHEFFIELD UNITED BETTING TIPS
League One play-off final, Saturday, Wembley, 3pm, live on Sky Sports 2 THIS tough as teak Yorkshire derby should have been about Jordan Rhodes v Ched Evans.

MAY 19: CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY-OFF FINAL TIPS
West Ham v Blackpool, Wembley, 3pm, live Sky IT'S not the biggest game of the day but it's certainly the richest. They say there is as much as £90million at stake for the winners of the Championship play-off final so you can see how important it is. So there are...
MAY 17: TORQUAY v CHELTENHAM TIPS
Thursday, Plainmoor, 7.45, live Sky Sports 1 I WONDER how many neutrals support Cheltenham just because the name is so synonomous with racing. I'm big fan of Cheltenham (the Festival) but have never really got into Cheltenham (the football team). However, they are on the verge of a Wembley...
MAY 16: PLAY-OFF BETTING TIPS
LOOKS like I'm the play-off man this week as Mr Fixit concentrates on teeing off. I know it's the end of the season but he's taking more holidays than the Queen – and he's paying me less than her corgis get. But I've got a cunning plan. I'm going...
ASTON VILLA BOSS BETTING
PAUL LAMBERT is the even-money favourite to replace Alex McLeish at Aston Villa according to Ladbrokes. The Norwich boss saw his odds slashed from 8-1 to 2-1 in a matter of hours once McLeish had been dismissed – and a run of money since has forced his price down...
MAY 15: HUDDERSFIELD v MK DONS TIPS
Tuesday, Galpharm Stadium, 7.45, live Sky Sports 1 ALL Rhodes could lead to Wembley tonight as Huddersfield continue their fight for promotion. Jordan Rhodes set the Terriers on their way to a 2-0 victory against MK Dons in last week's first-leg tie and the Scotland star is again the...
MAY 14: SHEFF UTD v STEVENAGE BETTING TIPS
MR FIXIT'S away spending his winnings so he's asked me to have a look at this League One play-off. It's a tough call and I reckon he's decided to put me on the spot because he can't pick a winner. Either that or he's watching dodgy videos. I popped...
PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING SPECIALS
MAN CITY are just 11-8 to win the Premier League next season according to Ladbrokes. Going into the incredible season finale City were 1-9 to lift the trophy and United could have been backed as big as 5-1. But that all changed no less than 50 times during in-play betting...
MAY 13: SUPER SUNDAY TIPS
THERE are some pretty straight choices to be made on Sunday. Man City or Man Utd for the title, QPR or Bolton for the drop and who will finish third? For me it's Man City all day long, I'd be surprised if Bolton saved themselves by winning at Stoke...

SHEFFIELD UTD have played three games since top scorer and talisman Ched Evans was jailed – and they haven't won any. However, they have been scoring goals with their last two games ending in 2-2 draws. But the loss of Evans probably cost them automatic promotion and could hurt...
