IT was another profitable week for Ace but it could have been so much better. After 35-1 and 50-1 winners the previous two weeks he looked nailed on for a third victory in a row as Kevin Na approached the 71st hole tied for the lead. However, for the second week in a row the American blew it and the […]

RONNY DEILA isn’t under the quite the pressure Jose Mourinho is facing but might need to land the Treble to save his job. Both are in charge of champions and with that comes expectation to win games – more so in Scotland. And with the Hoops failing in Europe it could take three trophies for Deila to convince his employers […]

WE’VE reached the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup with ties split over Tuesday and Wednesday. First up it’s Inverness v Ross County and Morton v St Johnstone with Wednesday seeing the tie of the round between Hearts and Celtic while Hibs entertain Dundee United next Wednesday. Someone emailed earlier looking for a price on Celtic to win The Treble […]

MY top-10 goals chart as been decimated after just four teams lived up to their billing at the weekend. German big guns Dortmund and Bayern Munich both fired five, Norrkoping netted three as they moved to within a game of the Swedish title and Nice’s game saw both teams scoring. However, six sides produced stats-shattering results including Leicester and St […]

THERE’S only one place to start Sunday’s goals bet – and that’s Florence. On Saturday it was Leicester and that didn’t work although having just watched MoTD how many pens should Palace have been awarded. Three strong claims and I think at least could have bee awarded. Hopefully we’ll hit the spot with Fiorentina v Roma. Fiorentina’s last five have […]

WHOEVER advised met to concentrate on goals (Greg) failed to warn me about Caen. I’ve been focusing more on goals bets in recent weeks with some success but last night Caen’s failure to score at home to Nantes beat up my treble and that was a sore one. Today’s UK card looks tough to pick winners so I’m focusing much […]

THERE was a good response to the request for result and both to score selections last week and I’m putting this post up early to make it a real team effort. I’ll go through all the suggestions and pick out four and if the line I put on wins (trebles and fourfold) I’ll split the returns 50-50 with one person […]

IT’S a tough looking SPFL card this weekend and hopefully Owen Scott’s specials based on stats will give us a heads up. Remember these aren’t tips – just things that have come up after research by the William Hill man. I’m keen on Aberdeen despite four defeats in a row and believe Derek McInnes’s men will get back to winning […]

CELTIC boss Ronny Deila returns to Norway on Thursday but will he leave with three points? The former Stromsgodset gaffer has targeted back-to-back wins against the perceived weakest team in Group A but may have to settle for one point at Molde. The Norwegian champions lead a tight Group A by two points after winning at Fenerbahce. All other matches […]

MOST punters believe in goals rather than WDW bets in midweek – and I’m hoping the net bulges more tonight than Kim Kardashian’s dress. I put up these goals tips earlier and here’s some reasoning behind the picks and a both to score and match result treble. I’ve already covered Arsenal v Bayern on my Champions League preview so what […]

I LOVED the line from Jose Mourinho in midweek when he said “you need at least five good hearders of the ball or you’re dead at set-pieces”. He was speaking after losing Branislav Ivanovic to injury (leaving him with only three who are good in the air) and the words must have been music to the ears of Villa gaffer […]

THE SPFL returns with Ross County v Aberdeen tonight and Greg Browning’s tipped an away win. I see where he’s coming from but I’d prefer to back both to score – let’s hope we’re both correct. Scottish bookmakers McBookie.com are offering 30-1 both Mark McGhee and Mixu Paatelinen can make winning starts with their new clubs. It is 9-2 both […]

ROSS COUNTY entertain Aberdeen with a bunch of players on a high after celebrating qualification for Euro 2016 – none are Scots unfortunately. All the pre-match talk has surrounded the future of Dons boss Derek McInnes after Ladbrokes suspended betting on next Premiership boss to go after taking money on him. Aberdeen have rubbished the trash Twitter talk that led […]

THERE was a good response to the request for result and both to score selections and plenty of matches that were on my shortlist. I’ve gone through the suggestions and picked out four and if the line I put on wins I’ll split the returns 50-50 with one person who has contributed to this post. If all four win that […]

WE ARE at the semi final stage, where Robert Thornton will square off versus Mensur Suljovic in the first game followed by Michael van Gerwen versus Mark Webster. Both Thornton and MVG are short to make the final with a best 17/20 in places for the pair to meet in the final and a whopping 18/1 for both underdogs to […]

WEDNESDAY was another profitable night for LockupTipster with 3 of his 5 bets winning to give him an impressive 71% strike-rate for the week so far. He’s back once more with his picks for Thursday’s quarter final matches… With another great night on the darts, we now focus towards the business end of the competition and pitch up at the […]

IT’S a huge night at Hampden with Scotland’s Euro 2016 future up in the air. Defeat will see Gordon Strachan’s side eliminated, a draw could keep hopes of a play-off alive and a victory will put them in pole position for third place unless Ireland beat Germany. There are a lot of permutations but really Scotland have to go for […]

LOCKUPTIPSTER added another winner to his impressive tally for the week last night, making it 7 winning tips from 9 – A fantastic return on his debut week on the site. There’s not let up in the action and LockupTipster has weighed in with some more picks for tonight’s action in Dublin. Here he goes… What a night for the […]

AT THE time of posting, LockupTipster is on track for 4/4 on Monday night’s tips. His first three bets all landed at odds of 4-5, 1-1 and 5-6 with a 7-5 chance still to come. What a start he’s made as the site’s darts tipster with 5/6 winners so far. He’s already on the ball with Tuesday’s tips so here […]

AS DEBUTS go LockupTispter’s wasn’t half bad. Two wins from three tips meant it was a profitable start on the first day of the World Grand Prix in Dublin. But for Peter Wright missing four doubles to win his match it would have been a full house for LockupTipster and he’s hoping to continue his winning form into the second […]

IT’S SUPER SUNDAY and whilst excitement builds towards Arsenal v Man Utd at 4pm there’s the small matter of a Merseyside Derby which kicks off at 1.30pm. A late offer from Paddy Power has arrived in my inbox and they’re offering enhanced odds on all outcomes in the Win-Draw-Win market. New customers can get 10/1 on Everton, 10/1 on Liverpool […]

LOCKUPTIPSTER brings us his thoughts on the first day of the Darts World Grand Prix from Dublin. Looking at round one and it kicks off with Jamie Lewis facing Irish contender William O’Connor and the bookies are struggling to split the pair with firms having slightly different opinions, with the Irish homegrown star at 21-20 and Lewis at even money.
