BUILT in an extinct volcano the Gary Player Country Club in Sun City is a gem of a course to host the second part of the Final Series in the Race to Dubai. The Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa became part of the European Tour schedule in 2014 and has quite a good field, including Open champion Henrik Stenson. […]

AFTER landing a 100-1 winner on the US Tour two weeks ago I though I was following up with an 80-1 triumph. My man Lucas Glover, who I tipped at 80-1, led the Shriners Hospital for Children’s Open after three rounds, but eventually finished third. Glover played well and was in contention until a poor tee shot at the par-three […]

DAVIE MOYES is being tipped for the sack if Sunderland don’t win at Bournemouth today – and there’s little chance of that happening. Sunderland have equalled the worst start to a Premier League campaign having taken two points from 10 games and there is nothing to suggest they can win spark to life at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth hammered Hull […]

THE title race is over after Celtic’s defeat of Aberdeen last week – so what bets are on offer to make the Premiership interesting for the rest of the season? There is of course “the best of the rest market” which now sees Rangers as evens favourites ahead of Aberdeen. Celtic are now no bigger than 1-40 to retain their […]

WITH just 10 points separating second place and bottom spot the Scottish Premiership has become a tough place to pick results. Take away Celtic and almost any team can beat another – even Dundee got in on the act last weekend at Hamilton to end a run of six defeats. Second-placed Rangers have 19 points while the Dens men have […]

THANKS for all the comments after last weekend’s winners at the WGC-HBC Champions and Sanderson Farms Open. Hideki Matsuyama won at 22-1 in China and Cody Gribble collected his first PGA Tour success at a starting price of 100-1. I didn’t advise the double but I know people back it every week. It paid 2322-1 and it was good to […]

THE first event of the Final Series in the Race to Dubai starts at the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa resort in Antalya, Turkey this weekend. With only three of the top 10 in the Race to Dubai taking part after security concerns you would think it’s not going to be that good a tourney but I’m confident we’ll see plenty […]

THERE were goals galore and only major upset in the Champions League last night although many of the fancied favourites were given a run for their money. Celtic’s draw at Borussia M’gladbach went against the grain and it’s a shock anytime Barcelona lose. Atletico Madrid needed a last-gasp goal to see off Rostov, Bayern Munich and PSG both scrambled 2-1 […]

WE’VE reached the halfway stage of the Champions League groups and on matchday four sides play the reverse fixture from the previous game. That’s bad news for Celtic who head to Monchengladback after losing 2-0 to the Germans at home and Man City who entertain Barcelona after being floored 4-0 in the Nou Camp. Celtic have never won a European […]

ACE VENTURER has often been described as the best golf tipster on the internet – and he just proved it. Our man topped anything he’s done in the past by landing a 2322-1 double on Sunday. First he watched 22-1 chance Hideki Matsuyama romp to victory in the WGC-HSBC Champions event in Shanghai. Then came the coup de grace – […]

FINDING value in the English top flight is difficult – especially with all of the leading contenders dropping points. Last week my main selections were Leicester and West Ham and a 3-1 double landed with a last-minute winner from the Londoners. Looking at this weekend’s card and it’s the same problem. Man City at West Brom, Arsenal at Sunderland, Man […]

EIGHT of the world’s top 10 players roll up to the Sheshan International GC, Shanghai for the 2016 edition of the WGC-HSBC Champions. Shanghai has suffered the hottest summer in 130 years but recently five inches of rain fell on the course in 48 hours. Although the forecast is for some rain it probably won’t affect the venue. Fairways are […]

THE par 72 Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi hosts the Sanderson Farms for the third year in a row. Last season in his first full year on the Tour Patton Kizzire started with a T2 at the Shriners and followed that up with a T4 at the Sanderson Farms. This year he started with a 2nd at what is […]

CELTIC are possibly the shortest price they’ve been tonight for a trip to Dingwall. Anyone want to take them at a best 1-3 with Betfred? I said Aberdeen were too short at Hamilton last night and look what happened to them. The difference is Brendan Rodgers’s has a bigger squad and while he’ll make changes his side should be too […]

ABERDEEN head for Hamilton tonight on a high – so let’s hope they don’t suffer a low. Teams often have a bad reaction to a big result and Derek McInnes must lift his men three days after reaching the Betfred Cup Final. The Dons weren’t at their fluent best as they scraped past Championship outfit Morton 2-0 but got the job […]

ANOTHER 0-0 draw would be tough to take on the back of three I’ve watched in the past week. But I fear the worst when Jose Mourinho makes his much aniticpated return to Chelsea. We know what happened when he blanked out Liverpool at Anfield in one of the worst high-profile Premier League matches of all time. Usually when Jose […]

ABERDEEN as expected booked their place in the Betfred Cup semi-finals where they await the winners of Rangers v Celtic. I couldn’t see past the Dons and backed Adam Rooney to score first at 7-2 but expected Morton to net. So now we turn to the big Old Firm derby. Celtic romped the first Old Firm meeting 5-1 last month – and I […]

IT’S semi-final weekend in the Betfred Cup with Morton v Aberdeen followed by the big one – Rangers v Celtic. Scots firm McBookie.com go odds on it will be a Dons-Celtic final and offer 5-2 on Aberdeen-Rangers. Spokesman Paul Petrie said: “The odds suggest straightforward wins for both Aberdeen and Celtic. However, history shows semi-finals are never that easy and […]

WEST HAM’S stadium move has brought in more fans and fewer points but that could be about to change. Moving from Upton Park to the Olympics athletics venue was always going to be a big test and some have said Hammers’ home games have less atmosphere than the moon. Slaven Bilic’s side edged their league opener against Bournemouth 1-0 and since […]

THE PGA event staged in Asia is being held for the fourth time at the TPC Kuala Lumpur (West) course in Malaysia. The 7005-yard, par 72, was opened in 1991 and had a complete revamp by Ted and Geoff Parslow. Last year winner Justin Thomas went round in -26 so looks like it could be a birdiefest with GIR and […]

THE Victoria Clube de Golfe Course in Vilamoura is again this year’s host for the Portugal Masters, the 10th year in a row. With the Final Series coming up there is plenty to play for those in with a chance of getting into the lucrative finish to the season. Last week’s winner Alex Noren and Ryder Cup hero Thomas Pieters […]

CELTIC’S dynamic display against Man City has raised expectations but they’re still underdogs in matchday three. That’s the way Brendan Rodgers will like it as he prepares for a make-or-break Champions League clash with Borussia Monchengladbach. Celtic are a best 9-4 at Unibet to win and should at least take a point from poor travellers. They are 7-10 at Coral […]

AT the start of the season Leicester were rated 10 times more likely to win the Champions League than retain their title. That seemed crazy but now Claudio Ranieri’s men’s chances of being crowned European kings is 15 times better than lifting the Premier League – and the Italian boss knows it. In reality the Foxes have as much hope […]

LIVERPOOL have the chance to go joint top of the Premier League if they can beat Man Utd tonight in what Sky Sports are billing as “Red Monday” and here’s what Selectabet thinks from a Spread Betting perspective. It could be “red” Monday in more ways than one at Anfield tonight. This fixture has seen the second highest number of […]

IT could be a magical Monday with one of English football’s greatest rivalries being played out. And of course not only is it Liverpool v United it’s Jurgen Klopp v Jose Mourinho in English football for the first time. Liverpool have looked the better of the two sides this season and with Man City’s perfect start just a memory they have […]
