ALLOA have been flying the radar somewhat in a League One full of bigger teams like Falkirk and Dunfermline, but Brian Rice has done a fine job and they are a big price to win away at FC Edinburgh. The Wasps sit in fourth place at the moment and are well-placed to make a challenge at the big two who […]

THERE are nine teams rated as being realistic World Cup winners, according to the bookies and 23 dark horses. Highbet are very pro-South America. They have Brazil as 79/20 favourites – just short of 4/1 in old money. Then Argentina are next at 109/20, followed by France at 119/20 and England at 79/10. Spain are 42/5, Germany are 99/10, Netherlands […]

THE Golden Glove betting heat can be a profitable one if you can crack who will reach the final or the semi-finals at the very least.

Fairly obviously, that will mean the shot-stopper of […]

HEAVYWEIGHT World Cup stalwarts Spain and Germany clash in Group E, with Japan and Costa Rica in a mouthwatering contrast of styles. Both the Spaniards and the Germans have got points to prove after spectacularly underperforming in the last tournament in Russia – Germany were bottom of their group and Spain went out in the Round of 16 stages. But they won’t get it […]

France and Denmark look a long way ahead of the other two here with France as short as 2/5 to win Group D. The pair look to dominate the group and the straight forecast of France first and Denmark has a huge chance of coming up. Australia look to have their weakest squad for many years. The fact they are […]

MORTON are the form team of the Championship and face a Partick Thistle side in freefall, so the 11/8 on offer looks very tempting indeed. Thistle were flying at the early stage of the season, but the loss of several injured key players has contributed to a nosedive in confidence too. That culminated in a disastrous defeat to Dundee last […]

FALKIRK can get the better of old rivals Dunfermline on Saturday in their grudge match in League One. The Bairns and Pars don’t get on to put it mildly and there will be a bumper crowd of well over 8,000 for the clash this week. And it’s worth siding with John McGlynn’s men here, even though they are outsiders at […]
