THE European Tour moves from China to the 7487 yard par-72 Red Course in Dar-Es-Salaam, Morocco for the Trophee Hassan II. It’s not the greatest field and quite difficult picking a winner here but I have to stick with Frenchman Alexander Levy,who has travelled from Portugal to China and back to Morocco in the past three weeks. Levy finished T14 at […]

ANOTHER week when the weather played havoc on the golf course with the Zurich Classic reduced to 54 holes in New Orleans. Unfortunately Patton Kizzire was just one shot off a place for me but didn’t do anything wrong and I will watch for him the next time he is playing. This week the PGA Tour moves to Charlotte, North Carolina […]

ONE man shouldn’t make a team but in the case of Real Madrid it does. They have galacticos galore but one stands head and shoulders above the rest. Last week I said to take Man City not to lose if Cristiano Ronaldo failed to make it and the game was a damp squib of a 0-0 draw. Real should finish the […]

ATLETICO MADRID did exactly what it says on their tin last week by beating Bayern Munich 1-0. I tipped Diego Simeone’s side to shut out the German giants in the same way they did to Barcelona in the previous round. Atletico are now 8-11 with McBookie to qualify for the Champions League Final – and with no away goals conceded […]

LEICESTER’S Premier League title triumph is the first 5000-1 single landed in bookmaking history. William Hill’s previous longest-odds payouts were at 2500-1 to grandfather Pete Edwards who won £125,000 by backing grandson Harry Wilson to play football for Wales and 1000-1 to David Threlfall who, in 1969, won £10,000 by betting that man would walk on the moon before 1970. […]

TWO nervous Leicester fans cashed out 5000-1 title bets just hours before their side failed to win the title at Manchester United yesterday but they should have held on 24 hours. The fans were both in line for £5000 from their £1 wagers placed at the start of the season but took early settlements of £4381. Ladbrokes still have 22 fans holding bets […]

THEY say don’t bet on derbies but tonight that advice goes out the window. I’m always reluctant about picking a winner when two arch rivals meet but I can’t see Dundee United stopping the rot at Dundee. United will be relegated to the Scottish Championship if they don’t win and while it will cost their club money Dens fans will take […]

BOOKIES say they’ll fork out £20million today if Leicester win the Premier League – but they’re not telling us how much they’ve clawed back from antepost best on the likes of Man City and Chelsea. Lucky 15s will have been ripped up and it’s unlikely anyone included the Foxes in an accumulator. Coral say they took a total of 114 […]

IF Leicester win the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday it will be the biggest betting shock in history. Some bookies marked up the Foxes at 5000-1 at the start of the season and as we know dozens of people backed them at that prices – and many have cashed out. To put in perspective Northern Ireland are 5000-1 […]

FOR weeks it’s been two from three to join Aston Villa in the Championship – now I reckon it’s one from two. Norwich look likely to go down with Villa so that should leave a straight fight between north-east rivals Newcastle and Sunderland. Only one point separates the three clubs but the next two matches should be crucial. Norwich could […]

BAYERN MUNICH are Champions League favourites but face the toughest of tests against meanies Atletico Madrid tonight. It’s a fascinating tie – the best defence in Europe against what’s possibly the strongest side in the world. Diego Simeone’s Madrid side have home advantage in the first leg and will be determined to prevent the away goal that would hand the […]

FOR the second week running the European Tour stays in China for the Volvo China Open. The par-72 Topwin Golf and Country Club in Beijing hosts the tournament for the first time and I am having to decide on whether to pick guys who have rested up over the last week or ones who played in the Shenzen and had […]

FOR the 10th consecutive season the TPC Louisiana hosts the Zurich where last year’s winner Justin Rose returns with Jason Day and Rickie Fowler. These three are the main names in the field but although they are top of the betting lists I think someone at a bigger price could win here. As six of the last 10 champions have […]

IT’S all about Cristiano Ronaldo at the Etihad – if he plays Real Madrid should qualify but if he doesn’t Man City have a chance. Real without Ronaldo is like The Masters minus green jackets. He’s been their talisman for years now and is the one Galatico who is missed above any other. The Portugal hitman missed Saturday’s 3-2 win […]

LEICESTER’S stay at the top has been helped by being able to play almost the same 11 week after week. Today against Swansea they face a big test without star striker Jamie Vardy who is banned after last week’s red card against West Ham. The Foxes gap is down to five points after being held by the Hammers and they […]

THERE haven’t been many more one-sided derbies than Liverpool-Everton on Wednesday. Forget Merseyside this was mercy me as Toffees boss Roberto Martinez saw his 10 men humiliated. It was 4-0 going four more and Everton need a win at Wembley today to save their season … and their boss. Reaching the FA Cup Final at the expense of Man United and […]

EVER wondered how bookies are sizing up the weekend card. Here’s the thoughts from inside camps at 188BET and BetVictor. 188Bet focus on the FA Cup and reckon we’ll be looking at a Man United v Crystal Palace final. BetVictor concentrate on the form of Scottish Cup finalists Rangers and Hibs and also top Patrick Roberts to bounce back from […]

AFTER last weekend’s drama there’s not much to be excited about looking at tonight’s Premiership encounter – unless you believe the Aberdeen can still top the table. That would require them to win their remaining games and Celtic lose three and deny boss Ronny Deila a title-winning send-off. No matter how poor the Hoops were against Rangers in the Scottish Cup last week […]

The European Tour players who are taking part in the Shenzhen International make the long journey to China this week. Hopefully the long flight hasn’t taken anything out of American Peter Uihlein who was taking part in the Open de Espana last week. He scores well when he’s over in Asia and finished T8 in the China Open, T16 in […]

THE TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) in Texas has hosted the Valero Open since 2010. There were only 10 players under par last year and the scoring average was 74.52 which was the highest on Tour. There is a good field for this week including last week’s winner Branden Grace, Patrick Reed and Jimmy Walker. JB Holmes came back from […]

RONNY DEILA’S revelation he’d leave Celtic at the end of the season surprised no one – so who’s next for the Parkhead hotseat? Deila will land a second title before he goes but with Rangers in the lower leagues that was never going to be good enough and he’s flopped big time on the European stage. To be fair he […]

ONE day it was Hibs and the next it was Rangers’ turn – going 120 minutes at Hampden before winning a Scottish Cup semi-final on penalties. Both victories were as dramatic as the other and how they react is anyone’s guess. As luck would have it the finalists are in action at Easter Road tonight and it will be impossible […]

THERE are three games in the Premier League tonight with the highlight being Liverpool v Everton. The Merseyside derby has produced a Premier League record 20 red cards and bet365 go 11-4 about that total being added to at Anfield. Despite the high tally the fixture hasn’t had an early bath since Jack Rodwell in 2011 and referee Robert Madley is […]

RAFA BENITEZ picked up just one point from his first four games in charge of Newcastle so a victory against Swansea on Saturday was the perfect birthday gift. Sunderland’s win at Norwich at lunchtime meant Newcastle had to win although 3-0 flattered them against a side who missed a few chances. The birthday celebrations only ended when Benitez realised his […]

WITH Leicester only drawing with West Ham to move eight points clear at the top of the Premier League Spurs must take advantage and beat Stoke to close the gap. On their day Stoke can beat anyone but in recent weeks haven’t lived up to their billing and last time out crashed 4-1 to a much-weakened Liverpool side. Spurs have been […]
