Top Football Tips

FOR those who love to go Dutch you'll need to wait for another few months.

The curtain came down on the regular season with a goalfest as 37 strikes were recorded in nine games including a 0-0 and 1-0.

Greg struck rich again with his total goals bets and my both to score treble landed at 23-10.

The two low scorers will have saved bookies a fortune as the other seven saw both scoring and go over 3.5 goals. That included Ajax's 4-1 win at De Graafschap that sealed the title for the first time since 2014.

My other btts double was beaten by Atalanta not scoring in the Italian Cup Final and that was a surprise to many.

Game of the night was Leeds v Derby with Frank Lampard's men coming back from 2-0 down on aggregate to win 4-3 and book a final meeting against Aston Villa.

In a fiery game both sides were reduced to 10 and well done to kevinmac who tipped that at 35-1 on his preview – and I hope Rams fan nathan enjoyed a cracking 90 minutes.

There were plenty of other winners and let's hope for more tonight although it's much quieter.

I hope to see goals in second leg of the League One semi-final between Portsmouth and Sunderland while there are games in countries I don't normally look at including Belgium, Switzerland and Sweden.

Decided to hit the golf course this morning so haven't had time to research the games as I need to write a Dundee United v Inverness preview for the Record tomorrow.

I do, however, have a Super Single from the US PGA Championship. The action is under way and on the outrights I've taken Brooks Koepka (12-1), Justin Rose ew (20-1) and Tony Finua (35-1). All are big hitters and from what I've read you need to be long and accurate and the second criteria could rule out favourite Tiger Woods as well as Rory McIlroy.

A few years ago I watched Jordan Spieth tear up Augusta and marvelled at his putting genius. Four years on and he's in a slump and for him just making the cut must be the target. Spieth's whole game is a mess and he's never been a big hitter so Bethpage Black could destroy him further.

For my Super Single I'm backing the steady Matt Kuchar, who almost always finishes top 10 in Majors, to beat his fellow American in a first-round mythical twoball. The draw is void.

Remember to check welovebetting for their video chat and tips.

    Qatari cup final tonight and the top 2 teams throughout the season have made it which means 1 thing- Al Sadd are in action. Although games between this 2 a usually high scorers I can’t see there being bucketfuls tonight and Prices are fairly short for goals. Al duhail have went from a swashbuckling side who would score goals galore to an organised team who are happy to shut the game down at 2-0 (must be the mourinho influence). Both sides have netted in the last 12 h2h so I’m confident of that, However I can’t see past an al sadd win and have come up with a few selections
    Al sadd to win 1/1 NAP
    Al sadd win btts 21/10 NB
    Al sadd ht/ft 9/4
    Al sadd to score bh 11/8
    All priced at bet 365.

    USPGA starts today. Bethgate one of the more challenging golf courses on the rota.
    Always difficult to pick winners in the day one 3-ball market but I’ll give it a go…
    Scott to beat Garcia and Kraft 11-8 (NAP)
    Kisner to beat De Chambeau and Perez 19-10
    Kuchar to beat Kodaria and Smith 4-5 (NB)
    Treble pays shade over 11-1

    Here’s hoping for another cracking weekend of golf, good luck all today 👍

    Appreciate the kind words from everyone regards last nights result at Elland Rd. Even I never saw that coming. I agreed with the write-up and expected derby to be beaten maybe 2-1 on the night. Saw the match, Derby were making a go of it for the first 20 mins and nobody can argue that Leeds scored against the run of play. We’ve been harping on for ages about why Jack Marriott had fallen out of favour and he was brought on with minutes of the first half to play and 1 nil down ( 2 on aggregate ). And cue Leeds collapse. 1st touch Boooooooom. the rest as they say is history.
    I ( as I have with all 3 semi’s ) picked a side and gone for that team to win, btts YES, overs 12 corners and overs cards. I’d steered the site towards a Leeds victory and 2 nights back, my buddy said ” If you bet on Leeds against Derby, I won’t speak to you again “. He’s a good friend. More of a heart bet than a bet with brain, so I dropped a £10 on Derby win/btts, overs 5.5 cards and opted for over 13 corners – priced at 75/1. It ended on 6 total corners and I’ve lost count of how many cards, but knew the cards component landed inside 31 first half minutes. The goals and result were a bonus. Famous last words after Qpr beat us in injurytime 5 years ago – not doing that again……. I queued through the night for my ticket, but the result wasn’t the one we wanted. Apparently, at least 2 buddies want me to go… So I shall get myself in the trenches and queue for my day out in London. Congrats on the double red card tip that somebody posted up, I saw that. I thought the ref was consistent, but on another day, there could easily of been 3 or 4 reds in that game.
    On a separate note, it is actually my birthday today. For the 27th time, I’m 21 today. the only thing that sucked for me last night was not the lack of corners, but lack of beer. I only had 1 beer in the fridge. I’d drunk it in the build up.
    If Derby play like they did in the first leg, Villa will beat them, but if Marriott starts and we play like we did last night, Villa will be in for a tough match. I felt that going into the first match, Derby were abject – no plan in place to progress since we’d already achieved our aim of the playoffs. Now that tonight happened, dare we dream? I damn well hope so, there’s £200 million waiting for the winner.
    My friend in Leeds is selling a well used pair of binoculars, they’re 12 months old, he only wants £200k for them, he’ll throw in several thousand Leeds to London return rail tickets dated the 27th May. Contact the Leeds ticket office for more details.

    Good luck today guys with your bets.

    Oran v Constantine.

    Like the Nigerian league home form holds sway.
    Oran need points to escape relegation, Constantine need points to sneak into next year’s African version of the champions league.

    Constantine are 11-2 to win, but I’m on them to net at evens (NAP), now 10-11 at hills.
