CELTIC were left red-faced by Red Imps last week and no matter what happens in tonight’s return that embarrassment will live on forever. Losing to nil in Gibraltar was humiliating and while Celtic will overhaul the 1-0 deficit at Parkhead I’m not sure they’ll run up a huge score. Red Imps were extremely well organised in the first leg and […]

THE countdown to the end of the Summer Transfer Window has started and it’s shaping up to be one of the most intriguing in recent years. With a raft of new managers embarking on their first season in charge at clubs up and down the country there are the inevitable new faces that come with a new regime. The riches […]

THERE were several shocks in the opening Betfred Cup sparrings and it’s clear some clubs are using the group stage as prep for the league season. For that reason these ties should be played for low stakes and big accumulators are to be avoided. Rangers are one side who treat every game seriously and I tipped them at just under […]

THE OPEN will be a straight shoot-out between Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson on the final day at Royal Troon. Stenson, one of Ace Venturer’s antepost picks, is now 8-11 favourite with McBookie and William Hill. If you backed him at 30-1 as Ace advised cover on Mickelson at 6-4 with William Hill or Paddy Power if you haven’t done so. While […]

THE new-look Betfred Cup launched last night and results proved betting on early games must be done for low stakes. Favourites Partick Thistle and Raith beat lowly opposition by one goal away from home while Dundee United were held at Arbroath but won a penalty shoot-out for a bonus point. As was the case last night all the favourites are away […]

IT was another action-packed day at Royal Troon with the weather playing a major role in deciding who sits where in the leaderboard. Everyone sitting in the top 10 had had the best of the conditions including Phil Mickelson who leads by one from Henrik Stenson. Mickelson remains tournament favourite at 5-2 with McBookie and Betfred while Stenson is 14-5 at betfair. Stenson […]

IT was cracking first day at Royal Troon with Phil Mickelson coming within a whisker of a record 62. The popular American’s birdie putt at the last lipped out so he had to settle for an eight-under 63 which equalled the lowest score in a Major. Conditions will be tougher today so we’re unlikely to see many low scores especially […]

CELTIC have shown there’s no such thing as a cert but tonight I fancy the favourites to make winning starts to their Betfred Cup campaigns. The new-look tournament kicks off with three ties including Arbroath v Dundee United in Group C live on BT Sport. Tonight’s other games see Partick Thistle travel to Airdrie in Group E and Raith Rovers […]

MYSELF and Ace have posted outright tips and I’ve picked out a couple of match bets for day one. Picking winners of twoballs and threeballs is always risky because players are not playing against each other – they’re playing the course. There’s nothing one player can do to stop another shooting a better score. And of course a tie is […]

SCOTTISH clubs have been notoriously slow starters in Europe the past few seasons but don’t normally lose to teams from Gibraltar and Luxembourg. Celtic’s defeat to Lincoln Red Imps was rightly described as the club’s worst result of all-time and Aberdeen’s defeat to Fola Esch wasn’t far behind although they edged through 3-2 on aggregate. Domestically, it’s exciting time in […]

THE good and the great of golf turn up at Royal Troon this week for the 145th Open Championship. The golf club has hosted this competition eight times, the first being in 1923, and it hasn’t got any easier since then. Signature hole is the Postage Stamp and although the par three is only 123 yards it is surrounded by […]

ACE VENTURER is the resident golf expert on this site but I like to add my opinion when it comes to the Majors. I picked out my tips before seeing his and I’m happy to see we’re going with the same winner and also expect Sergio Garcia to go well. Followers of Ace’s tips will know he’s a massive Dustin […]

IT’S a big day at Wimbledon with Andy Murray aiming for his second title at SW19. Murray’s only won two of his Grand Slam finals but every defeat has been against Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer so no disgrace there. This time standing in his way is giant Canadian Milos Raonic who has reached his first final after seeing off […]

IT’S felt like a marathon more than sprint at times but we’ve finally reached the finale of Euro 2016. Great games have been few and far between and that’s down to the increase in teams and too much caution shown by coaches playing not to lose. Hosts France have battled through more comfortably than Portugal and will face in Paris […]

THREE of my four recommended bets on the men’s semi-finals came up as Andy Murray and Milos Raonic set up a final showdown on Sunday. I went with Raonic to break serve first and over 3.5 sets in his match against Roger Federer and backed Murray for most aces versus Tomas Berdych. However, I went for over 3.5 sets and […]

I CALLED the women’s semi-finals correctly but it was all too easy for Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber who both won in straight sets. In fact Serena lost just two games in a terribly one-sided match lasting just 48 minutes against Elena Vesvina who looked scared stiff on Centre Court. The double paid just 1-2 and if hadn’t been wrongly appeared 13-10 […]

HOSTS France have pretty much cruised into the last four and now face their toughest test. There’s no doubt in my mind France have been Euro 2016’s best performers but conceding two goals against Iceland highlighted defensive deficiences we knew about pre-tournament. Sure, those goals were conceded when the quarter-final was won but it’s clear France can be got at […]

WITH the Greenbrier Classic cancelled due to flooding this week it will be the Scottish Open and the US Women’s Open supplying my selections. Castle Stuart is a classic links golf course on the Moray Firth, which only opened in 2009. In its three years of hosting the Scottish Open (2011, 2012 and 2013) it has had an eventful time. […]

AFTER yesterday’s drama at Wimbledon which saw Andy Murray and Roger Federer win five-set thrillers it’s the turn of the women to take centre stage. Hot favourite Serena Williams faces shocktroop Elena Vesnina while her older sister Venus is underdog against German Angeligue Kerber. Kerber is 4-11 at boylesports to beat Venus who is in her first Wimbledon semi since 2009 after […]

EURO 2016 resumes on Wednesday with the first semi-final – and it’s a game no one could have predicted … not even a nine-legged octopus. Wales, a side ranked 107th in the world when Chris Coleman took charge, were simply meant to enjoy their first finals for 58 years – not try to go the whole way. And they face a Portugal […]

IT was the men’s turn today as we reach the last-eight stage at Wimbledon. Three of the women’s quarter-finals went to form yesterday and it was a pity the one that didn’t involved Dominika Cibulkova who beat my new challenge at the first attempt. Wednesday’s ties see Andy Murray tackle Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Roger Federer face Marin Cilic, Sam Querrey against […]

IT was the Andy Murray show on Monday as he annihilated Nick Kyrgios to set up a last-eight clash with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Murray is odds on with all bookies now to win a second Wimbledon title and in the form he’s in it’s difficult to see who can stop him. I only saw the first set against Kyrgios but it’s […]

THEY’VE caught up at Wimbledon as the rain stayed away to allow play on the middle Sunday for the first time since 2004. It’s last-16 day in the men’s and women’s singles and pick of the ties is title favourite Andy Murray v Aussie upstart Nick Kyrgios. It should be a cracker and as I need just £16 to hit […]

THE final quarter-final is between hosts France and shocktroops Iceland on Sunday. France were my antepost picks and I’m pleased they have avoided the big guns as they target a last-four place. Iceland deserve credit for beating England but that’s it for them. That was their cup final – it’s time to say au revoir and catch a plane home to […]
Posted on: 03 Jul 2016
IT should be a rest day at Wimbledon but for the first time since 2004 there is action on the middle Sunday as organisers bid to catch up after weather delays. Punters are still reeling from Novak Djokovic’s shock exit to Sam Querrey and Andy Murray is now evens favourite from 7-2 to win his third Grand Slam title. It could be […]
