DESMOND is on a good run with three winners out of four and is showing a substantial profit. He’s hoping to make it another good weekend and is going for two singles and a double. Desmond says: “Gents, two teams I like the look of on Saturday are Burnley and Halifax. First up are a Burnley side undefeated in their […]

ALL six Scottish Premiership matches take place on Saturday with Dundee v Aberdeeen live on TV at 12.30pm. It promises to be a busy day in Scotland and in my Record column on Saturday I’m talking up the possibility of all six top-flight games seeing both scoring for the second weekend in a row. The one that worries me most […]

NOT much happening in the last tournaments of the year on both sides of the Atlantic. In Sun City, South Africa we have the Nedbank Challenge with a 30-man field and over the Atlantic we have the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas with only 18 invited players. So it should be easy pickings (famous last words). The Gary Player […]

BOOKIES reckoned only four teams could win the Scottish Cup – and two of them were paired in the fourth-round draw. Tie of the round features Hearts v Aberdeen while Celtic travel to Stranraer and Rangers face Cowdenbeath or Arbroath at home. So no worries for the Old Firm but will it be the Jambos or Aberdeen? The Dons won […]

FOR the last couple of weeks I’ve been experimenting with teams to score bets. There is no doubt in my mind this market is the easiest to win on but possibly not the most profitable if that makes sense. The problem being many teams are priced extremely short so either you need to put a lot of sides together or […]

RANGERS now know they’re in a title race – although how long it lasts is anyone’s guess. Hibs have drawn level with the Ibrox men at the top of the Championship but need to fend off suitors of the likes of Jason Cummings when the transfer window opens. And if Rangers do business of their own by signing a couple […]

ALL regulars to the site know in general games in the Dutch second tier produce goals. Some people blindly back both to score or/and overs in all games in a bid to land a decent accumulator. In my experience there’s always one that will beat you – but which one do you avoid? These matches tend to be played on […]

IT was a good day on the site for anyone who concentrates on goals bets. Of the five btts games I tipped four were winners, Greg Browning’s over 2.5 goals treble won, Desmond’s 2+ double came in and Scott Allott posted a European both to score treble winner. It does seems it’s easier to predict winners but you can’t get […]

I CALLED it pretty much spot on when Celtic hosted Ajax in midweek and hope to get it right when they visit Inverness at Sunday lunchtime. Celtic are no bigger than 1-3 and that’s too short for me on a ground where they’ve had plenty of problems in the past. Their last two visits have finished 0-1 and 1-1 and […]

THERE are four English Premier League games on Sunday with much of the focus on Spurs v Chelsea. All last week up until Thursday I was planning to back Spurs to beat Chelsea but now I’m not sure. I expected, and manager Mauricio Pochettini suggested as much, Spurs to field pretty much a reserve team against Qarabag in midweek. It […]

JAMIE VARDY will hog the headlines today if he beats 10 in a row. I tipped the Leicester goal king last week to equal Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of scoring in successive league games but can he beat it tonight? As fate would have it the England star comes up against van Nistelrooy’s former Man United side and faces a defence […]

BRITAIN are no bigger than 1-4 with BetVictor to beat Belgium and win the Davis Cup Final in Ghent. The action starts at 12.30pm with Belgium No.1 David Goffin 1-6 with William Hill to beat debut boy Kyle Edmund on the Flanders clay. It’s a tough ask for Edmund and there is every chance he could suffer a 3-0 defeat which pays […]

I’VE posted a separate preview on the matches in Celtic’s Group A and here I look at who needs what on a busy night of Europa League action. Group J is the tightest with all four teams still able to make it through. Monaco host Anderlecht with the French looking to preserve the group’s only unbeaten record. Spurs will have an […]

SKIPPER Scott Brown is the latest player to be ruled out of Celtic’s crunch tie at home to Ajax. The enforced will be out for up to 12 weeks and Ronny Deila’s squad is stretched with Kris Commons injured and fellow midfielders Nir Bitton and Stefan Johansen banned. Brown’s experience and Commons’ guile will be especially missed and without those […]

I ASKED Greg Browning for his opinion on this game yesterday and he fired me off a few stats. Fourteen out of 15 both to score and 13 out of 14 over 2.5 goals – makes goals in the Premiership clash at McDiarmid Park something of a no brainer. Saints are the Leicester of the Scottish top flight – minus Jamie […]

ONE of the most popular bets of the day could be Jamie Vardy to score for Leicester at Newcastle and equal Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of netting in 10 successive Premier League matches. If he passes a fitness test and manages it he would be trying to pass the Dutch striker’s mark against the side he achieved it with … […]

IT’S back to normal in Scotland with a full card and proper fight for the Championship title as Hibs and Falkirk chase Rangers. I’m on all three to win and in the Premiership there should be a convincing three points for Celtic at home to Kilmarnock. As usual William Hill’s Owen Scott has looked at the big games and has […]

WHILE Rangers have been dragged into a title race by Hibs and Falkirk it’s a surprise to see which team is sitting in fourth – the best of the rest in a way. Morton have climbed to those lofty heights after four wins in a row and go into Friday’s Championship clash with local rivals St Mirren in great shape. […]

The first annual World Series of darts finals begins this weekend in Glasgow and Michael van Gerwen is the hot favourite to claim the crown. MVG put up a sterling display to win the Grand Slam of Darts at 7-4 and is the same price to win this event! When looking at how MVG was able to play, he characterised […]

IT’S a big day of international football dominated by the final two Euro 2016 play-offs even if the eyes of the world will be on Wembley where England host France just four days after the Paris atrocities. Denmark gave themselves hope with a late goal in the first leg that means they trail Sweden 2-1 but I’m on the visitors […]

FOR years I’ve put up a Super Single – a bet I like that pays at least evens if possible. It’s not a banker bet because every selection at evens has a one in two chance of coming up. My success rate with the Super Single has been pretty decent but less spectacular in recent months. In the main I […]

THE talk in Scotland has been about a three-way fight for the title and while Rangers remain massive odds-on favourites there’s no doubt Hibs and Falkirk are making a fist of it. Falkirk’s only defeats have been to the top two and victory against Livingston on Tuesday will close the gap on the leaders to two points and Alan Stubbs’s […]

IRELAND were long shots to get a result in Bosnia and now will hope a Long shot puts them through. A 1-1 draw in Zenica last week must have been more than Martin O’Neill had hoped for from his injury-hit squad. It could have been better if they hadn’t conceded a late equaliser to Edin Dzeko – even though no […]

HERE’S one for Celtic and Rangers fans to debate – or anyone else for that matter. With Ibrox hitman Martyn Waghorn on 14 goals and Hoops star Leigh Griffiths on 13, McBookie.com are betting on which player will be the top scorer in the whole of Scotland. Waghorn is the 4-7 favourite with Griffiths next in the betting on 6-4. […]
