LAST weekend we had to apologise to site regulars for problems accessing tips due to unprecedented levels of traffic.

This Saturday there should be no repeat with the server being upgraded during the week.

We can't really complain about the continued rise in visitor numbers – and by the end of August we'll have notched up around one million page views for this month only.

No one can complain about too much traffic but we realise the excessive number of comments makes it difficult sometimes for punters to find the best tips. As most of you know we're making big site changes as soon as possible and these will make it easier to follow contributors such as Sly, The UHT, The Dane, Greg Browning, Mr T etc, etc.

Meanwhile, if I get a chance I'll put up some profit and loss figures on the top tips this month. I know I'm in profit despite claims from trolls such as Lee.

So far today my Top Treble lost thanks to Spartak Moscow but my Super Single is a winner with Forest Green at 11-10.

There will always be winners on the site – and losers – and the majority accept. Bit if you're serious about making a long-term profits back my single and treble and cherry-pick tips from some of the best contributors on the internet and you'll do well.

Most comments about the site are positive and it's encouraging to see many people tag it the best tipping site on the internet – and it will only get better.

And remember – this is a free site. You'll pay a lot more out there and get much less.

      Dee, it will be close and if it doesn’t happen this month it will next month. Right, off to take the boy to football training, back in time for Man Utd v Chelsea. Going to put a few quid on 2-2 and maybe RVP and Lampard for first goals. A 2-2 would be a good game.

      Eclezias mate. Not really my cup of tea. I´m more of an overs/Portuguese football kind of guy. But there are other´s like The Dane that have good knowledge on Danish football

    I realy like this site. People complaining about losing because of your tips should stay away from this site. The way i see it is you pick the best bets in your opinion
    ( Mostly good bets ) and it’s up to the people here if they want to follow you. They don’t have bet exactly the same as you it’s just the bets you are placing. So it’s realy stupid from people when they get mad at you because they lost. I think you are doing a great job Mr Fixit just ignore the haters and keep it going the most people here are very happy with you and so am i !

    Paul, there’s no both teams to score tip today, but if there would be one, would you tip Hyde – Grimsby as one? just curious.

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      lars, there were both teams to score selections on the end of the top tips. And funnily enough Hyde-Grimsby was in the treble. We both fancied it from the stats but it’s ended a 1-0 Grimsby as you’ll know.

    Congrats on the site Paul. Can safely say that have won alot more than lost with you. The confed cup tipping was one of the best i´ve seen. Here´s hoping the sites changes come soon. I´m sure 90% of the site visitors appreciate your contribution.

      Sly, did well on Confed and Gold Cup. For English and Scottish leagues the start of the season can always be tough.

    Top man mr fixit spot on with your cments every one can make there own desicions
    How about doing a correct score treble combination bet 3 scores per game what you think?

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Bugsey, I used to do that and quite liked it, especially with fairly short favourites, maybe doing 2-0 3-0 4-0. It’s 27 bets though and if you don’t hit you are looking at 27 losing lines.

    Ive been on this site from the early days and watched it go from strength to strength and with tipsters such as sly, THE UHT, greg browning, the dane etc..and of course mrf this site will just get even better.
    Paul it would be interesting to see the stats of last season’s run of ‘super singles’, an incredible run of winning tips surpassed by no one!! which we all profited from. Last season’s ‘Tipster comp’ great fun.
    Looking forward to the new format, keep on doing what you do best MrF..

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      SilentJoe5, the Super Single last season – and every season – was in profit but I don’t want to go too far back. The tipster contest was good but a lot of work. Might revive it in some shape when the site changes kick in.

    MrF, yep great site and amazing characters on here bar the odd few trolls.

    Will be awaiting the changes with anticipation and look forward to further winning tips from yourself and the many others which make this site a daily frequented one and, agreeing with everyone else, the best on the tinternet.

    Hope to get more involved myself and working on a system of staking akin to The Danes, one of the best and consistant around, although I appreciate the level of commitment as it is difficult not to put a few quid on silly 10-folds for the chance of a big win!!!

    Keep up the great work all!

    Well done been following you since you started in the record, never mind about all the 1s that moan about you picking a loser if you always picked winners you would be lying on a beach & the owner of your own football team (Clydebank) did you ever go into the club at the auld stadium.

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Buckie, if you’re talking about Kilbowie then yes. Watched Clydebank all my life apart from my days as young football writer when I covered St Mirren for a year and Ayr for six months. When I worked in Paisley Saints won the Scottish Cup then the following season were drawn at home to Bankies in the first (third) round. We won 3-0 and it was a great day although not for the paper.

    about time tae :) I used to send the 1st scorer comp from the wknd before via saughton about 10 years ago haha what’s happened to that this year?? only the betrescue comp this season and looks like there’s already a couple wi 1000+ already. tried to do ‘safe’ 6folds and not got one yet

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Craig, hopefully be back soon with the first-scorer contest. Just waiting for Paddy Power to give it the nod. Guy who won the bestrescue contest last Saturday actually picked 7 instead of 6 teams so his 7th pick, a winning draw, was voided. Otherwise his line would have paid over £4k to a £10 stake.

    Craig alves 11 years ago

    good stuff, was wondered where it went. aye I seen that haha he would’ve been gutted if he got 6/7 tho. I take it that was the best priced on that got scratched, think he had 2 draws aswell so hope he had cheeky quid on it at they odds

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 11 years ago

      Craig, all 7 teams were winners so they scratched the 7th pick.

      The UHT, anything on Quilmes v San Lorenzo tonight?

      I know you love your late night picks and this one looks tricky so right up your street. Lorenzo have had the better start in the league and won the corresponding fixture last season, Quilmes have won their only home game so far and are unbeaten at Estadio Centenario in their last six, with their last defeat coming at the hands of San Lorenzo earlier this year. The away at 5/4 looks tempting but it could be one to leave? I only ask as I’m waiting on Lorenzo to bring in a sixfold… (lazy last pick!)

      Any thoughts?

      Cheers

      By the way Mr F, ignore the haters, you run a top site here and give out free tips after all. You’re strike rate long term is second to none.

      Well 3-2 to Quilmes and they played well. Fancied SL at 2-2 but you got to credit the home team for always having the answer, made a bit on the overs (2.5 & 3.5) but didn’t see 4.5 coming in!

      Cheers for your input UHT, you’re Brazilian tips are spot on and SL weren’t too far off tonight.

      Good luck for tomorrow.
