HARRY KANE was the scourge of the world champions last week – today he’s aiming his shooting boots at just one man from Germany. The Spurs star kickstarted England’s fightback to win from 2-0 down last week and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will have taken note. Kane wasn’t the only White Hart Lane ace to shine in Berlin and the likes of Danny […]

SCOTTISH firm McBookie.com are offering 3-1 Celtic will beat their points total of last season – 92. That will mean Ronny Deila’s men must win their final eight games starting today with Hearts at home. Winning all eight is a tall order but I’m on them to pick up a full haul against a side not playing with the same fluency as […]

THERE’S just one week to go before The Masters and time for some players to hone their game. Water is in play for some of the holes at the Golf Course of Houston but the fairways are wide and with little rough. Greens will be fast and GIR, scrambling and putting could be what is important here. Taking that into consideration […]

SCOTLAND, England and France all won last week and McBookie are offering an enhanced 7-1 they do so again tonight. For a team with nothing but holidays to look forward to this summer Scotland looked a hungry team last week. Gordon Strachan’s men were massive underdogs away to the Czech Republic and tonight’s opponents Denmark are slight favourites. Unlike the Czechs […]

AT the start of the season most people looking at the Championship saw two stick-on bets – Rangers to win the title and Hibs to finish second. The first one is set to land at short odds but Hibs are making a mess of their side of the bargain – while Falkirk are doing their best to rip up thousands […]

THE first day of the Dell Matchplay could have gone better for Ace as outright picks Paul Casey and Rickie Fowler, lost their first matches but they have time to make it up today and tomorrow. Emiliano Grillo had a great start to his match with JB Holmes, five up through seven with four birdies, but JB Holmes wasn’t having a great […]

DESMOND has posted his 2+ goals tips and here some other bets he likes this weekend. All of his matches are in England on Good Friday and finish with the live match in League One at Peterborough. For a both to score double he’s taking games at Colchester and Hartlepool and the over 2.5 goals trebles has 3pm starts at […]

BETTING on international friendlies features low on my list of favourites. So if you want to get involved tonight make sure it’s for low stakes – and even better see team line-ups before getting involved. Scotland boss Gordon Strachan has named two squads for tonight’s clash at the Czech Republic and Denmark next week. It’s clear he’s experimenting ahead of the […]

ACE’S main focus is on the Dell Match Play and his tips are on a separate preview but he has one from the Puerto Rico Open. He says: Although there isn’t much form here I am having a small wager on Freddie Jacobson. Not a lot of form but has three top fives this year, is 20th in strokes gained:putting […]

THE WGC Dell Match Play takes place at the Austin Country Club, Texas, where the top 64 players in the world, with the exception of Henrik Stenson and Jim Furyk are taking part. Ace says: As much as I love the match play format I hate betting on it just because any top player can have a bad round and […]

AS the weeks go on more and more Leicester fans are cashing out their potential title-winning bets … and who can blame them. I’ve said for weeks now I believe the Foxes will achieve the impossible but supporter James Weller of Sheffield was worried enough to take his money off Ladbrokes and run. Before his side’s defeat of Crystal Palace […]

IT’S a massive day in the Premier League at the top and bottom including two big derbies. Newcastle v Sunderland kicks off with both sides in the relegation zone after Norwich’s win at West Brom yesterday while Manchester City entertain Man United with only a Champions League place rather than a title up for grabs. Spurs will be out to close […]

THERE’S been loads of publicity for the lucky sods who backed Leicester on the anteposts at 5000-1 and doubling with Crystal Palace for the FA Cup would pay 500,000-1. Cash out? You wouldn’t have a chance – you be hounded out of the country by bookies stunned by the thought of giving away £1 million for a £2 speculative stake. […]

WITH just three or four games to go for most clubs the race for a top-six finish is starting to hot up and Scottish bookies McBookie think it will be a fight between Dundee and Motherwell for the final slot. The firm make Ross County and St Johnstone 4-11 to cement their top-six places with Dundee and Motherwell both 10-11. […]

DESMOND has posted his 2+ goals tips and here some other nets he likes this weekend. For a both to score double he’s taking a game from England’s League One and another from the Scottish Premiership. First up it’s Fleetwood v Barnsley with the last two meetings between the sides in the JP Trophy finishing 1-1 and Town games have […]

IF Alex Ferguson was still in charge of Man United punters would be rushing to back them at 8-1 at boylesports to qualify for the Europa League last eight. Ninety minutes to overturn a 2-0 lead – the Red Devils used to do it five minutes plus Fergie time. How times have changed though and last Sunday was a good […]

HIBS v Ross County was a hard-fought League Cup Final and you have to wonder what it’s taken out of both sides. Let’s start with winners Ross County who netted a last-minute clincher to break Hibees hearts. It’s been just three days since their Hampden heroics and they head to a St Johnstone side out or form but still battling for a top-six slot. […]

THE Delhi Golf Club has hosted 11 of the last 12 Hero Indian Opens and has also been the host for the Panasonic and SAIL Opens since 2010 and 2011. It is a par 71 with narrow treelined fairways and with the amount of Opens played here someone who has regularly played the course, is accurate off the tee and […]

ACCURACY off the tee at the Bay Hill Golf Club and Lodge isn’t necessarily going to be a prerequisite for the winner here this week. More than five acres of fairway have been added and there have been a lot of trees trimmed and cut which had grown into the line of sight, resulting last year in scoring being a […]

I’M going to make a big statement – if Leicester win tonight they’ll go on to be crowned champions. It’s taken me a long time to become a believer but in all probability Spurs are the Foxes only serious challengers and everyone expects them to drop points in the run-in. If Leicester beat Newcastle they’ll be five points clear with […]

MY goals treble starts both to score at Rennes v Lyon. I thought about Rennes for the Super Single but they have let me down in the past when looking good so instead I’ll go for goals. Rennes beat Nantes 4-1 in their last home outing – scoring four before the break before taking their foot off the gas. Lyon have […]

HIBS take on Ross County in the League Cup Final at Hampden today and it’s a tough one to call. McBookie.com are offering 60-1 Hibs can complete the treble of promotion, League Cup and Scottish Cup – and while a trophy would be the icing on the cake I’m sure boss Alan Stubbs would settle for a return to the […]

DESMOND’S 2+ goals double has been posted and today he’s on Northampton and Barnsley and both look good to me. He also fancies a both teams to score double and an over 2.5 goals treble. If you’re tempted to take them all as a roll-up it pays 62-1 at Ladbrokes but that is of course for low stakes. Both to […]

THE Europa League is much maligned but there are plenty of big names aiming for a last-eight spot tonight. Clubs such as Dortmund, Leverkusen, Valencia and of course Liverpool and Man United would rather be in the big one. But the carrot of a Champions League place to the winner has made the big guns focus on lifting the trophy. Liverpool […]

DEADLY rivals Liverpool and Man United meet in Europe for the first time tonight and it’s a tie that has captured the imagination. Jurgen Klopp’s men have a poor record against their fierce rivals – two wins in 10 and four defeats in a row to Louis van Gaal – but are in good shape after superb wins against Man City and […]
