MAN CITY’S perfect start to the season is a distant memory but they’re still the team to beat in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s winning run in all competitions was ended by Celtic and that was followed by a first defeat at Spurs. The result wasn’t a huge surprise as White Hart Lane is one of the toughest places to […]

DOMESTIC bliss is back after a break for internationals – and fans in Scotland are particularly relieved. Tonight’s treat is Inverness v Rangers and while it should be good armchair entertainment it feels like one of those matches where bookies have priced it wrong. Richie Foran’s side have recovered well after a poor start and are unbeaten in five – including […]

THE British Masters rolls up to The Grove in Hertfordshire with not the greatest line-up but should still be an intriguing weekend. I played The Grove about five years ago and to be honest wasn’t that impressed but seemingly it has improved quite a bit and if the weather holds there should be some great golf on display. Ross Fisher […]

THE first tournament of this season’s PGA Tour is the Safeway Open at the Silverado Resort (North Course) in California with three of the top 25 World Tour ranking players – Phil Mickelson, Paul Casey and Matt Kuchar – taking part. GIR and scrambling could be important on this course with maybe driving accuracy also worth a look. Standout for this week […]

BUT for Spain scoring two more than predicted against Liechtenstein Selectabet would have landed a spectacular 326-1 treble during the last round of World Cup qualifying fixtures so he’s back again to give it another go in the hope that the minnows of UEFA take a beating once more… Followers of my posts will know I hate international football and...

IT’S back to “normal” golf this week with the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. Each pro will be partnered by an amateur and take part on the three courses with the final round back on the Old Course. A few of the defeated European team will be taking part and although I would love to back […]

EUROPE are up against it going into the final day of the Ryder Cup after a poor afternoon session on Saturday. A 3-1 defeat means the USA lead 9.5-6.5 going into the 12 singles matches and that’s a big lead. It’s reflected in the prices with USA 1-5 with most firms and Europe 13-2 at betfair. The draw pays 12-1 […]

SPURS boss Mauricio Pochettino would have watched Man City’s Champions League qualifier in midweek and thought: We can beat this lot! City have been unstoppable in England this season and it’s taken a Scottish team to show how to compete against them. Pep Guardiola’s side defend their 100 per cent league record at White Hart Lane tomorrow and it promises […]

IT was a fascinating start to the Ryder Cup with USA almost out of sight in the morning foursomes before Europe clawed back to trail 5-3 overnight with some great golf in the foursomes. Darren Clarke will hope his side do better this morning – and let’s face they can’t do any worse. America’s pairing look stronger today and my […]

THE early Premier League game features Swansea v Liverpool and I like the visitors to win with both scoring – as was the case when Man City visited the Liberty last weekend. If Liverpool are serious about a title tilt these are games they must win but they are short at 9-20 with McBookie. Look at Liverpool and both to […]

IT’S been a long time coming, well it seems like it, but now it’s time for the European Ryder Cup team to step up to the plate at Hazeltine and bring the trophy home. Davis Love doesn’t seemed to have tricked up the Hazeltine course although the greens are small and will probably run around 13 on the stimpmeter. The […]

BOOKIES have priced up tonight’s Motherwell-Hearts games as if the Jambos were at home. Robbie Neilson’s side are odds on – McBookie are best at 37-40 – and it feels wrong even though they don’t get it wrong too often. Hearts haven’t won at Fir Park since 2010 – losing three of the last four – and face a side […]

CELTIC were undone by one Argentine in their Champions League opener and could be hurt by another tonight. For Lionel Messi read Sergio Aguero and the Man City star rolls up at Parkhead having fired in five in his last two matches. He bagged a hat-trick against Borussia Monchengladbach and netted a double at Swansea at the weekend. Brendan Rodgers […]

BETTER late than never they say. Lockuptipster is back with his best picks as the darts return in the shape of the Champions League of Darts. Sorry for posting them late, hopefully still time to get in on the action. The Champions League of Darts makes its debut to our screens but also as a first for the BBC in […]

ANYONE fancy Celtic for the Treble after being paired with Rangers in the Betfred Cup semis? Scottish bookmakers McBookie.com are offering 9-2 Celtic will win all the domestic trophies with Rangers 66-1. McBookie spokesman Paul Petrie said: “Despite hammering Rangers recently this is still the hardest tie for Celtic and we have pushed them out slightly to win all three trophies.” After […]

LAST season Man City launched the Premier League campaign with five wins and most people handed them the title – except Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri who had other ideas. It’s been a repeat a year on – the difference is Pep Guardiola is in charge and Ranieri’s concentrating on the Champions League! City are odds on for the title and […]

THIS is the 16th time the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta has hosted the Tour Championship, 10 of those as the final of FedEx Cup play-offs. With $10million up for grabs for the FedEx champion there is a lot to play for. East Lake has increased in length to 7385 yards, which is second longest in all par 70s in […]

THE Porsche European Open takes place at the Bernhard Langer-designed Beckenbauer Course at the Hartl Golf Resort, Bad Griesbach, in Germany. The course runs beside the River Rott and of course water comes into play frequently throughout the round. Also this week there has been a lot of rain in that area and conditions could be quite wet underfoot. Because of […]

CELTIC struggled past Alloa in the Betfred Cup to book a semi-final slot alongside Rangers and Morton. An Old Firm semi-final or final is a possibility but Aberdeen and St Johnstone will be hoping do something to stop the latter happening. The final quarter-final is the toughest to call with both sides capable of beating each other. The Dons have […]

THERE’S no doubt Brendan Rodgers will be eyeing up a treble but at the same time will have one eye on next week’s Champions League tie with Man City. He must have been delighted to be handed a home Betfred Cup clash with League One Alloa and while everyone thought he’d rotate his line-up only Scott Sinclair and keeper Dorus […]

RANGERS face a test of nerve tonight when Queen of the South visit Ibrox in the Betfred Cup. All eyes will be on Mark Warburton’s men as they aim to return to winning ways after a 0-0 home draw with Ross County followed a 5-1 Old Firm loss. Queens by contrast have won in a row in all competitions and have […]

MY strongest antepost tip was Newcastle so I was worried when they started with two defeats in the Championship. But boss Rafael Benitez didn’t panic and he and his players have adjusted quickly to life outside the top flight by reeling off five wins in a row. The best display came in midweek when they thrilled the Toon Army by […]

REQUESTABET has been mentioned by a few punters in recent weeks with the likes of Craig Alves and Harry Baines getting involved. The concept is you come up with your own bet and ask for a price. Skybet then post some of them on their site and take bets. One lucky SkyBet punter was celebrating for the second time in […]

MAN UNITED would prefer to be dining with the big boys in the Champions League but instead Jose Mourinho finds himself languishing in no man’s land. It’s where no Man United fans wants to be except possibly young Marcus Rashford. The England Under-21 star could be given his chance to shine with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and […]

WHAT a weekend that was. Two firsts (18-1 and 10-1) and a T4 (50-1) for my picks gave me about a 60pts profit and hopefully I can continue this week. With half the Ryder Cup team teeing up for the Italian Open at Golf Club Milano it will give us a chance to see how the guys who are going to Hazeltine […]
