BIGGEST game of a busy Premier League card is Liverpool v Arsenal but I’m focusing on one of the lower-profile ones. So let’s start with Swansea v Sunderland with the visitors a big price of 43-10 at 888sport against a side that’s lost it’s way a bit. The Swans paid the penalty for rotating their squad with an FA Cup […]

NOT sure what the tennis boys are thinking but I’m getting on this one before the tournament starts next week. It’s almost time for the first tennis Grand Slam of the season and in my eyes Novak Djokovic can’t be beaten. Did anyone see his display in routing Rafael Nadal at the weekend. I’ve never seen him play better and […]

IT’S Scottish Cup weekend north of the border and the good news is most of the big guns will field full-strength teams. That should make predicting winners easier but with the likes of Celtic, Rangers, Motherwell, Hamilton, Dundee Utd and Inverness all short prices it’s all about hunting down value. I’ll fully preview the Rangers v Cowdenbeath and Stranraer v […]

IT’S a big weekend of cup football north and south of the border and that’s not always good news for punters. Team news is vital but in Scotland it’s less important as most sides will field full-strength line-ups because the cash collected on a cup run is important. St Mirren and Partick Thistle get as under way on Friday night […]

THE ref who was been mentioned most on this site in 2015 was Willie Collum. He’s building a reputation for making wrong calls in big games and has been at the centre of many controversies. After awarding four penalties in his last two matches, at least three of them disputed and two clearly wrong, I advised backing a penalty at […]

STOKEALONA is possibly the cheesiest tag ever handed to a football team but Mark Hughes’s men are doing their best to live up to the tag. Do you remember the days when Stoke always featured last on Match of the Day – not any more. Hughes has talents such as Xherdan Shaqiri, Marko Arnautovic and Bojan Krkic shining and they’ve rattled in 11 goals […]

DESMOND’S hoping to make a dynamic start to 2016 and he’s picked up a couple of English teams he fancies to score 2+ Unfortunately the Newport game has been called off and Desmond’s taken my advice to put up Greg’s nap as an alternative. Greg’s nap is Motherwell to score 2+ but if people think they have too much riding on them […]

SOME bookies have already paid out on Louis van Gaal to win the sack race – and he could be packing his bags tonight. The under-fire Man United boss needs goals and a good display probably even more than the points as they face up to Chelsea at Old Trafford. Van Gaal is on the brink after four defeats in […]

TIS the season to be jolly – unless you’re Alan Stubbs and Mark Warburton. The rival Championship gaffers have been involved in a verbal tug of war that’s becoming more boring to watch than Man United. They’ve talked the talk for weeks – now can they walk the walk? There’s no doubt today’s tussle at Ibrox is massive after Hibs battled […]

IT’S a big weekend in the Scottish Premiership with Aberdeen hoping to go top on Saturday and Celtic out to return to the perch on Sunday. Celtic lead the Dons by one point are 1-10 with Ladbrokes to be top on New Year’s day with Aberdeen 11-2. Thanks to old boss Mark McGhee’s help last week Aberdeen should hit the summit […]

IT’S the start of a packed period of football in England and one of the games of the day is Liverpool v Leicester. In my opinion bookies have underestimated the Foxes and while I’m sorely tempted by 3-1 on the Premier League leaders the best advice is to keep the draw on side and go with Claudio Ranieri’s men not […]

ABERDEEN have the chance to move top of the Premiership and pile the pressure on Celtic ahead of their trip to Hearts on Sunday.The Dons have been in magnificent form and should beat Inverness at home on Saturday. As you look at your Scottish picks here are some stats-based suggestions from William Hill’s Owen Scott – and remember they are […]

IT’S been the strangest of Premier League seasons and Leicester look the only side who want to win it. That still seems like an impossible dream but Claudio Ranieri’s side have been cut to 12-1 at bet365 to take the title and are now evens to finish in the top four and claim a Champions League spot. Arsenal are Leicester’s […]

WE are getting towards the conclusion of round one with three more nights of top tungsten and could be a better night for maximums. With the likes of Michael Smith and Robert Thornton on the coupon, the most 180s for the night in the event there is a specials coupon, we anticipate Thornton to be the narrow favourite with Smith […]

TWO of Europe’s most in-form strikers will be in opposition at Goodison Park at lunchtime and Romelu Lukaku, who has scored in six consecutive Premier League games is 20-1 to match the previous record of 10 by Ruud van Nistelrooy and 66-1 to equal Jamie Vardy’s tally of 11. Vardy, who ended his one-game drought against champions Chelsea on Monday, […]

ALL the talk in Scotland this week has centred on league reconstruction but both Rangers and Hibs insist they want to win promotion to the Premiership and not be handed a free pass. As the race for the title hots up McBookie.com are offering 2-1 both Rangers and Hibs will be playing in the Premiership next season and 4-11 one of them […]

DESMOND’S keen to find a winner after a couple of losers and has identified two sides he likes. He says: “After a couple of disappointing posts I’m hoping to land a nice double on Saturday. First up are a Nottingham Forest side on a decent run and with eight goals scored in their last four home games. “I like the look of […]

IT looks like Man City will be England’s last survivors in the Champions League after the draw handed tough ties to Arsenal and Chelsea. The Gunners paid for not winning their group by being paired with holders Barcelona while Chelsea suffered some bad luck by being drawn against best of the non-seeds in Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s French champions. Chelsea have been […]

I TENTATIVELY tipped Bournemouth to beat Man Utd on Saturday and positively backed them not to lose at a decent price. Chelsea fell victim to the Cherries the previous week and bid to bounce back at a Leicester side who need a point to return to the top of the table. It’s being billed as Claudio Ranieri v Jose Mourinho after […]

IT’S not an easy card in England this weekend. In the Premiership there are some tough looking games but one stands out from a betting viewpoint. Man City v Swansea sees two sides at the opposite end of the happy spectrum meet. Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany once again sit it out but City showed they can without them as they […]

IT’S the final round of the Europa League groups with 16 teams through to the last 32 and eight more places up for grabs. Here’s an at-a-glance look at the sides who have made it and those still fighting to qualify. Group A Molde are through and Fenerbahce need a point at home to Celtic to qualify ahead of Ajax. […]

CELTIC are out of the Europa League but for many punters they have been this season’s “go-to team”. All five of their Group A games have gone over 2.5 goals and in all five matches both teams have netted. Unfortunately for Celtic giving away cheap goals has been a constant and despite playing in spells they’ve given away some cheap […]

I’VE been highlighting this match for four days – ever since Liverpool blew away Southampton 6-1 to reach the last four of the Capital One Cup. They could have scored 10 and could have netted eight at Man City and there is serious proof Jurgen Klopp could push his exciting side into a title battle. A sixth victory in a […]
Posted on: 05 Dec 2015
FOR me the biggest betting opportunity of the weekend is at Newcastle tomorrow with Liverpool the visitors. I put up a couple of Super Singles on Wednesday after Jurgen Klopp’s men had won 6-1 at Southampton and of course the prices have dropped – I’ll post a preview of that game tomorrow. There are seven matches to look at today […]
