IT was party time on Leicester on Monday as they paraded the trophy through the city centre. And it was party time for many fans who won thousands backing their side at fanciful prices to win the Premier League. William Hill have paid out their final customer who had backed Leicester at 5000-1, taking his total winnings to just over […]

PEP GUARDIOLA will be Manuel Pellegrini’s biggest fan if he hands Man City a farewell gift on Sunday. The minute Pep decided to take the job next season he would have been planning a Champions League assault. But if City lose at Swansea and Man United beat Bournemouth the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss will be arriving at a […]

THIS week the European Tour travels to the beautiful island of Mauritius for the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at the Four Seasons Golf course in Anahita, Beau Champs. The Ernie Els-designed track has a stunning backdrop of the mountains and surrounding scenery. This course will suit long-hitters and I’ll be looking at them for my selections. In-form Aussie Scott Hend […]

THE Players’ Championship returns to the awesome TPC Sawgrass with Rory, Jordan, Jason and Rickie and a lot more notables taking part. Justin Rose had a missed cut after his T10 at The Masters but came back with a solo third last week at Wells Fargo. He looked good at Quail Hollow and his GIR stat was over 72% which […]

IT’S D-Day for Newcastle and Norwich and there’s nothing they can do to stop Sunderland sealing their Premier League fate. Sunderland need to beat Everton at send down their biggest rivals as well as Norwich. Sam Allardyce’s men have looked the best of the troubled trio in recent weeks and are the only ones who have a genuine goalscorer in their ranks […]

BIGGEST game of the night is the final one at Upton Park before West Ham move to their new stadium. Man United visit knowing they’ll clinch fourth spot at the expense of Man City if they win their final two matches – and it’s Bournemouth at home on Sunday. The Hammers won’t want to lose – two wins and they’ll […]

IT will be one big party at the King Power tonight as Leicester are handed the Premier League trophy. That’s an intro I never thought I’d be writing and well done to all those who backed the Foxes at silly prices. I’ve been convinced Leicester would be crowned champions for the past few months and profited plenty on them to […]

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 Premiership quarter-final second leg between Hibs and Raith and tip the Easter Road men to overturn to a one-goal deficit. BetVictor concentrate on the Premiership card and are still rueing Leicester’s title win. 188BET TODAY’S second […]

I’VE enjoyed a good week on the Scottish card with wins for the likes of Dundee, Ayr and Raith. I was on Rovers to beat Hibs at 19-5 and took them draw no bet at 12-5 as a Super Single. Monday’s top tip was Dundee -1 and while it never came in I was big on Dundee just to win and I […]

LIVERPOOL need a repeat of their Borussia Dortmund demolition job tonight to progress to the Europe League final. Jurgen Klopp’s side trail Villarreal 1-0 after conceding a late goal last week but matched the La Liga outfit in most departments and played pretty well. The German boss rested key players in the 3-1 defeat at Swansea on Sunday so they’ll […]

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 […]
