Apr 9: Scottish Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 08 Apr 2016

THE pressure has eased on Celtic after Aberdeen crashed to a shock defeat at Hearts. How they must hate playing sick teams. My tips on the game landed – both to score at 10-11 and Simon Church at 9-5 – and Celtic will feel much better about themselves as they face a tough test at Motherwell. Mark McGhee’s men have […]

Apr 9: English Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 08 Apr 2016

THERE are some big games today and best bets could be Bournemouth at Aston Villa. I’d back anyone to beat doomed Villa these days so to see Eddie Howe’s visitors at 6-5 with McBookie and bet365 is tempting. Villa have lost four in a row without scoring while Bournemouth were in good form before losing heavily to Spurs and Man […]

Golf: US Masters Tips Day 2

Posted on: 08 Apr 2016

IT was a pretty sensational day at the US Masters from the sublime of Jordan Spieth to the ridiculous Ernie Els. Spieth continued where he left off last year with a super 66 to lead by two and is now clear 15-8 favourite at Betway. My main antepost pick Jason Day looked well placed at five under after the first […]

Apr 8: Hearts v Aberdeen Betting Preview

Posted on: 07 Apr 2016

A GOOD fit side should beat a good sick side but Aberdeen will be wary of a wounded animal. The Dons travel to a Hearts outfit who didn’t play on Tuesday after a gastroenteritis bug swept through the club. But remember when Motherwell had similar problems last month, couldn’t get their game off then went out and won 2-1. Hearts’ […]

Who’s Paying Most Each-way places at US Masters?

Posted on: 07 Apr 2016

THERE’S been a bit of debate on twitter as to the number of places that bookies are paying out on at Augusta versus the value of their odds. It’s often the case that those bookies who pay most places don’t offer anywhere near the best prices but in my experience it really depends on who you’re backing. To take some […]

Golf: US Masters Tips Day 1

Posted on: 06 Apr 2016

IT’S almost here – the first round of the US Masters and for the next four days I’ll be glued to the action. I can’t believe it was a year ago to the day when I was setting off for a first memorable trip to Augusta and it seems like just yesterday I stood a few yards away as Jordan […]

Apr 7: Europa League Betting Preview

Posted on: 06 Apr 2016

ALL eyes will be on Jurgen Klopp as he returns to Dortmund tonight – but they should be focused on his successor Thomas Tuchel. A Klopp-cam will be pointed at the Liverpool boss for 90 minutes of Europa League action but his side are massive underdogs. Klopp remains a Borussia legend but Tuchel has improved the side he inherited to such an […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s US Masters Tips

Posted on: 06 Apr 2016

WE all know about the Augusta course, the azaleas and tree-lined and undulating fairways. The manicured greens – in fact everywhere you look is green. I’ve read all the form books and know the players in good nick and who plays well at Augusta. So it’s easy to pick a winner then! All aspects of the game are needed at […]

Golf: Mr Fixit’s US Masters Tips

Posted on: 05 Apr 2016

JASON DAY is back at world No.1 and in perfect position to shoot for his first Green Jacket. Last year Jordan Spieth ran away with the title with a dazzling display of precision putting no one could live with. It was brilliant to watch on my first trip to Augusta even though there was little or no drama on the […]

Apr 5: Scottish Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 04 Apr 2016

IT’S all about titles on Tuesday for two clubs who will renew their Old Firm rivalry next Sunday and all next season. After missing out on clinching promotion by seconds at the weekend Rangers will clinch the Championship title tonight to ease the pain of such a near miss. And Celtic can just about seal the deal themselves as they […]

Apr 2: Barcelona v Real Madrid Betting Preview

Posted on: 02 Apr 2016

ZINEDINE ZIDANE gets his first taste of El Clasico as a manager tonight and bookies fear it could be his last. The former Real Madrid star has been under increasing pressure at the Bernabeu club and it’s just 3-1 Zidane leaves his post before the end of the season and that could be on if his side lose in the Nou […]

April 2: English Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 02 Apr 2016

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 […]

April 2: Scottish Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 01 Apr 2016

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 […]

Apr 2: Bookies Views – Voice of the Enemy

Posted on: 01 Apr 2016

EVER wondered how bookies are sizing up the weekend card. Here’s the thoughts from inside camps at 188BET and BetVictor. In Scotland Rangers will win the league if they beat Raith and Hibs don’t win at St Mirren while Celtic hope to march on in the Premiership title race by beating Hearts. 188Bet have a couple of moneyback offers on […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Houston Open Tips

Posted on: 29 Mar 2016

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 […]

Mar 29: International Friendlies Preview

Posted on: 29 Mar 2016

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 […]

March 26 – Scottish Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 25 Mar 2016

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 […]

Mar 26: Bookies Views – Voice of the Enemy

Posted on: 25 Mar 2016

EVER wondered how bookies are sizing up the weekend card. Here’s the thoughts from inside camps at 188BET and BetVictor. There’s a look ahead at England’s friendly in Germany and a look at Saturday’s Scottish lower-league card. 188BET View IT’S a fairly quiet weekend of football but hopefully we can still find a few Easter eggs for you starting with […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Dell Match Play Day 2 Tips

Posted on: 24 Mar 2016

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...

Mar 24: International Friendlies Preview

Posted on: 23 Mar 2016

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 […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Puerto Rico Open Tips

Posted on: 22 Mar 2016

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 […]

Golf: Ace Venturer’s Dell Match Play Tips

Posted on: 22 Mar 2016

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 […]

Leicester: Another One Bites the Dust

Posted on: 20 Mar 2016

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 […]
