June 26: Hungary v Belgium Betting Preview

Posted on: 25 Jun 2016

HUNGARY are one of the surprise packets of the tournament having come through Group F without losing a game. They were also involved in the best games of the tournament – a 3-3 draw against Portugal that could have seen so many more goals.Belgium started off with a bad 2-0 defeat to Italy but followed up with wins to nil […]

June 26: Germany v Slovakia Betting Preview

Posted on: 25 Jun 2016

GERMANY have been efficient if not dynamic in their progress to the last 16 without conceding. The world champions clinched Group C with a 1-0 win against Northern Ireland that should have been many more. A combination of poor finishing, bad luck and great goalkeeping by Michael McGovern kept the score down as the Irish defended for their lives. Slovakia sealed their […]

June 25: Wales v Nth Ireland Betting Preview

Posted on: 24 Jun 2016

AT the start of Euro 2016 I said there would be a surprise semi-finalist … and that’s the way it’s panning out. Croatia were mentioned as a dark horse and look nailed on to make the last four after sinking Spain to top Group C. Holders Spain, hosts France, Germany and England are all in the same half of the […]

June 25: Croatia v Portugal Betting Preview

Posted on: 24 Jun 2016

CROATIA are last into action today and having won Group C would have expected an easier task than a meeting with Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo finally got off the mark to drag the Portuguese through in third place after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Hungary. Ronaldo’s men drew all three of their group games while Croatia would have won all three […]

Calling All Tennis Tipsters

THE biggest of all the tennis Grand Slam events is just two days away and hopefully we’ll have a tennis tipster on board for Wimbledon fortnight to add to the excellent tips Johnb will put up. If you like your sport played with furry balls and know all about players from Almagro to Zeballos then get in touch. Of course you’ll also need […]

June 25: Switzerland v Poland Betting Preview

Posted on: 24 Jun 2016

FIRST of the last-16 ties at Euro 2016 is Switzerland v Poland and while neither side has been explosive you have to fancy the Poles. They haven’t conceded yet – including a 0-0 draw with Germany – and will be hoping Robert Lewandowski will find his shooting boots after drawing a blank in Group C. His strike pal Arkadiusk Milik […]

Golf: BMW International Tips

Posted on: 22 Jun 2016

VENUE for the BMW International Open is the Gut Larchenhof, Cologne and players who took part at Oakmont last weekend will be pleased to hear he greens are a bit slower but not by much. Accuracy off the tee could be a factor as the landing areas are quite tight but hitting greens in regulation might be more important. Scott Hend might not […]

Golf: Quicken Loans National Tips

Posted on: 21 Jun 2016

DUSTIN JOHNSON beat all the odds and the USGA to win the US Open at the weekend and justify my faith in him. There has been a lot said on social media and in the press on the controversy and I’m on Dustin’s side. I don’t think the USGA would have given him a one stroke penalty if there was only […]

June 22: Group F Betting Preview

Posted on: 21 Jun 2016

CRISTIANO RONALDO has endured a nightmare tournament but must turn up tonight if Portugal are to qualify. To be fair the Real Madrid star hasn’t failed due to a lack of effort – in fact he’s probably trying too hard. He’s had 20 efforts on goal in the first two games but converted none including a penalty miss against Austria. […]

June 22: Group E Betting Preview

Posted on: 21 Jun 2016

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND must beat Italy to stay alive and on the evidence of the first two games they have no chance. The Irish were unlucky to be held by Sweden but woeful in a 3-0 defeat against Belgium while Italy have won two without conceding. One thing in Martin O’Neill’s favour is Italy have already won the group so […]

June 21: Group C Betting Preview

Posted on: 21 Jun 2016

NORTHERN IRELAND won’t beat Germany but can still qualify by avoiding a heavy defeat. Michael O’Neill’s men were superb against Ukraine after freezing in their opener with Poland but now face their toughest task. Germany haven’t been at their best but will surely break through what will be a packed defence as the Irish dream of a 0-0 draw or […]

June 21: Group D Betting Preview

Posted on: 20 Jun 2016

SPAIN need just a point against Croatia for the sides to qualify first and second from Group D. So while the holders are favourites at 21-20 with Ladbrokes for their third successive win there is always the possibility of them playing out a convenient stalemate that pays 11-5 at Betfred. The Croats are 4-1 at bet365 to notch the victory […]

June 20: Group B Betting Preview

Posted on: 19 Jun 2016

GOALS have dried up in the past few days so hopefully we’ll see some action in Group B’s final two matches. All four matches have seen both score and of course there has been excitement with late goals especially in the England games. It’s still two from any four to qualify so that should mean a bit more entertainment unless […]

June 19: Group A Betting Preview

Posted on: 18 Jun 2016

FRANCE haven’t had it all their own way but should clinch top spot in Group A in style. Didier Deschamps’ side have need late goals against Romania and Albania to win their openers. Now they need just a point from Switzerland to win the group and book a last-16 slot against a third-placed side. France are a 1-1 at McBookie […]

June 18: Group F Betting Preview

Posted on: 18 Jun 2016

NOT sure what was the biggest surprise – Iceland battling back to hold Portugal or Austria crashing to Hungary. It was probably the latter to be honest because Portugal can’t be trusted and rely too much on Cristiano Ronaldo. Today the smallest nation at the Euros and the one that had lowest possession in the first group of games (27.8%) tackle Hungary […]

June 18: Belgium v Rep Ireland Betting Preview

Posted on: 17 Jun 2016

BELGIUM are ranked Europe’s best team and it’s time they lived up to the billing. Marc Wilmots’s side were desperately disappointing as they crashed 2-0 to Italy but historically are slow starters. When they reached the 1980 final and 1986 World Cup semis they failed to win their opening game and that’s the only positive for Wilmots. There are problems […]

Jun 17: Group C Betting Preview

Posted on: 16 Jun 2016

TODAY’S Group C games see Croatia facing Czech Republic and Spain tackling Turkey. Spain and Croatia won their openers and I reckon they’ll add the points to set up a decider next week. Croatia looked top notch as they toppled the Turks and it should have been much more than 1-0. They are a best 17-20 at Ladbrokes. Spain also won […]

Jun 17: Italy v Belgium Betting Preview

Posted on: 16 Jun 2016

ITALY’S display against Belgium was one of the best in the first round of matches and they should beat a Sweden side over reliant on Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Although he created the own goal scored by Ciaran Clark the PSG star was pretty anonymous in the 1-1 draw with Republic of Ireland. And a defence that includes three Juventus men and […]

Golf: Ace’s US Open Tips

Posted on: 16 Jun 2016

OAKMONT, rated as the toughest course in America, hosts the US Open for an unprecedented ninth time this week. It was built 112 years ago and is unforgiving as industrialist Henry C Fownes, who designed it, believed a poor shot should be penalised. As per usual the United States Golf Association have had the course set up to play tough […]

Jun 16: England v Wales Betting Preview

Posted on: 15 Jun 2016

ENGLAND v Wales should have been a dress rehearsal for England v Scotland – the real Battle of Britain. But Gareth Bale has been on a one-man mission to crank up the hype and he’s done a good job. Today’s Group B encounter promises to be a cracker and hopefully we’ll see goals, cards, thrills and spills in what could […]

Jun 16: Group C Betting Preview

Posted on: 15 Jun 2016

NORTHERN IRELAND’S display against Poland was disappointing but you can understand why Michael O’Neill played for a point. He must have a thought a draw against Poland and win over Ukraine would be their best chance of qualifying. Unfortunately his defence was breached once and he couldn’t change it well enough to threaten the Pole goal with his side having […]

June 15: Group A Betting Preview

Posted on: 14 Jun 2016

WE’VE seen all the teams in action now and I’m happy enough with France as my antepost picks. Didier Deschamps’s men weren’t at their best on opening night but got the job done against Romania. Italy and Germany have been equally impressive and at this early stage the winner should come from one of those three nations – although I […]

Jun 15: Willie Collum Betting Specials

Posted on: 14 Jun 2016

SCOTLAND’S man at Euro 2016 – if you don’t count James McCarthy and Aiden McGeady – is well known to site regulars. Willie Collum has a reputation – rightly or wrongly – as a referee who makes big and sometimes controversial decisions. I’ve backed him to award reds and penalties in big games and he doesn’t often let me down. […]

Jun 14: Austria v Hungary Betting Preview

Posted on: 14 Jun 2016

FIRST up today it’s Austria face Hungary and I like the look of Marcel Koller’s side who many people believe will go far. They qualified in impressive fashion – nine wins out of 10 – and are 3-4 at Ladbrokes and William Hill to beat a Hungarian outfit who’d bite your hand off now to finish third. They are one of the […]

Jun 14: Portugal v Iceland Betting Preview

Posted on: 13 Jun 2016

THE shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo looms large over Portugal but they’re not a one-man team. Ronaldo will be supported by the likes of Joao Moutinho, Pepe and veterans Nani and Ricardo Quaresma while keeper Rui Patricio is a class act. As the Group F action finally gets under way today I’m taking the Portuguese to edge out debutants Iceland. Many sides struggled in pre-tournament […]
