Apr 23: English Betting Preview

Posted on: 23 Apr 2016

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 […]

Apr 23: Bookies Views – Voice of the Enemy

Posted on: 22 Apr 2016

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 […]

Apr 22: St Johnstone v Aberdeen Preview

Posted on: 21 Apr 2016

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 […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Shenzhen International Tips

Posted on: 21 Apr 2016

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 […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Valero Open Tips

Posted on: 21 Apr 2016

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 […]

Celtic: Next Boss Betting Latest

Posted on: 20 Apr 2016

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 […]

Apr 20: Hibs v Rangers Betting Preview

Posted on: 20 Apr 2016

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 […]

Apr 20: English Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 20 Apr 2016

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 […]

Apr 19: Newcastle v Man City Betting Preview

Posted on: 18 Apr 2016

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 […]

Apr 18: Stoke v Spurs Betting Preview

Posted on: 17 Apr 2016

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 […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Day 4 Tips

Posted on: 17 Apr 2016

ACE had two winners and a draw with his twoball selections yesterday so let’s see if he can make it a full house tonight. He says: “Luke Donald (21-20) and Charley Hoffman (11-10) both saw off their playing partners to make up for my other selections in the RBC Heritage. Joost Luiten (22-1) has though given me a place in […]

Apr 17: English Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 17 Apr 2016

LEICESTER have won their last five matches to nil and are heavy odds on now to win the Premier League – and there seems to be no stopping them. Bet365 go 40-1 about the Foxes doing it in style by winning all of their remaining games and 150-1 not to concede another goal during those final five fixtures but both […]

Apr 17 – Rangers v Celtic Betting Preview

Posted on: 16 Apr 2016

PUT on the hard hats – it’s almost time for 90 minutes of madness and mayhem. The destination is Hampden, Sunday, 12pm – and can you just imagine the scene in pubs up and down the county all afternoon. A Scottish Cup semi-final meeting will be only the second Celtic-Rangers clash in five seasons and last term I called it […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Day 3 Tips

Posted on: 16 Apr 2016

MY outright tips for the RBC Heritage haven’t performed well with Paul Casey and Matthew Fitzpatrick both missing the cut. Kevin Kisner at least made the third round but is struggling at two over. Of the two balls today I like the look of Luke Donald against Patton Kizzire. The Englishman has come back to some kind of form and […]

Apr 16 – English Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 15 Apr 2016

SATURDAY’S big match live at teatime sees Chelsea entertain Man City and at this time of the season that would usually be a titanic tussle. But in this strange campaign it takes second fiddle to Leicester v West Ham on Sunday and even Stoke v Spurs on Monday. Both of those games will be previews on the site so looking […]

Apr 16: Bookies Views – Voice of the Enemy

Posted on: 15 Apr 2016

EVER wondered how bookies are sizing up the weekend card. Here’s the thoughts from inside camps at 188BET and BetVictor. 188Bet have a cracking moneyback offer on the Rangers v Celtic Scottish Cup semi-final while BetVictor have a tip for the Scottish Grand National on which they’re paying five places. 188BET NOT surprisingly all the talk – and all the betting […]

April 14: Europa League Betting Preview

Posted on: 13 Apr 2016

IF Man City can knock out PSG then Liverpool can do the same to Borussia Dortmund. English football’s stock is pretty low with just two teams making the last eight of the European tournaments. But two out of two progressing will be a marked improvement and tonight’s tie at Anfield is finely balanced. We know the Reds raise their game […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Spanish Open Tips

Posted on: 13 Apr 2016

AFTER the magnificent memories of The Masters some of the stars of Augusta are back on European soil at the Spanish Open in Valderrama. I looked closely at Soren Kjeldsen but his exploits may have taken a lot out of him although he played superbly and should start climbing back up the world rankings. I’m going for Dutchman Joost Luiten who […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s RBC Heritage Tips

Posted on: 13 Apr 2016

AFTER a great Masters Paul Casey will be on a high for the RBC Heritage this week at the Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina. One of two players who had no bogeys in the final round last week – winner Danny Willett was the other – Casey is on a roll and hopefully the feelgood factor from last week will […]

£53k Win – The Perfect Cash-Out

Posted on: 12 Apr 2016

THERE’S been a lot of debate on this site about cash out and I’m firmly in the neutral corner. For sure it’s been introduced to benefit bookies but if you’re savvy you can make it work for you. More than anything that means not diving in and accepting any offer – and if you like the cash-out option follow your […]

Golf: US Masters Tips Day 4

Posted on: 10 Apr 2016

JORDAN SPIETH allowed the field to come back to him by dropping three shots in the final two holes yesterday so it’s set up to be a thrilling final round of The Masters. Ace Venturer says: “The wind played havoc again yesterday with only four players making sub-par rounds. The day belonged to Masters debutant Smylie Kaufman who hit a superb […]

Apr 10: Premier League Betting Preview

Posted on: 09 Apr 2016

WHEN I looked at the title run-in Sunderland away stood out as one of Leicester’s toughest tests. Sam Allardyce’s side need the points just as much as the title contenders and he’s the kind of boss who could stall the Claudio Ranieri-driven juggernaut. Allardyce will park a couple of coaches in a bid to frustrate the Foxes but won’t he […]

Apr 10: Rangers v Peterhead Betting Preview

Posted on: 09 Apr 2016

RANGERS lifted their first piece of silverware on Tuesday and can follow the Championship with their first Petrofac Training Cup success. They tackle League One Peterhead at Hampden and the Blue Toon are off form after back-to-back defeats against Forfar and Cowdenbeath without scoring. The sides have met four times with Rangers winning three of them to nil and losing […]

Golf: US Masters Tips Day 3

Posted on: 09 Apr 2016

WE could be set for a sensational day 3 at The Masters with defending champion Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy going out in the final group. Spieth leads for the sixth successive round at Augusta but only by one after two late bogeys were countered by three birdies on the back nine by McIlroy. Ace Venturer says: My selections again had […]

Apr 9: Bookies Views – Voice of the Enemy

Posted on: 09 Apr 2016

EVER wondered how bookies are sizing up the weekend card. Here’s the thoughts from inside camps at 188BET and BetVictor. 188Bet have four moneyback offers this weekend and an Aintree tip while BetVictor stress they’re going six places on the Grand National. 188BET View We are going moneyback crazy with four offers in this monster weekend. The big betting event is the […]
