DOES anyone believe lightning strikes twice? Who remembers what happened in the Norwegian league last weekend? That’s right – all eight matches saw both teams score and over 2.5 goals. Today sees the final round of matches so could it happen again? I feel it’s worth a fiver of anyone’s money but in all seriousness what’s the chances. In fact […]

THERE are three games in the Premier League today and the easiest to predict is Aston Villa v Man City. It should be a baptism of fire for new Villa boss Remi Garde who watched his side crash 3-1 at Spurs on Monday. This is as tough a start as it gets and while City remain without Sergio Aguero they […]

WHEN the new site is launched there will be all sorts of forums and one I quite like the idea of is “against the stats” picks. Most tips are based on stats, form and h2h results but some of the best come through hunches and gut feeling. Looking at Celtic’s trip to Dingwall the stats suggest an away win to […]

I DIDN’T record to put up Saturday’s effort before kick-offs so I’ll do a Sunday one instead. With the new site hopefully launching tomorrow we anticipated technical problems today and we apologise to everyone who couldn’t put up a comment or tip. I’ve gone through the Sunday selections and put on a line of four – £1 trebles and a […]

THE FA Cup dominates the card this weekend but there is of course a full Premier League and Championship card. Amazingly Leicester will go joint top if they beat Watford and that would surely win them more free food from boss Claudio Ranieri. The Foxes are 20-23 at Coral and it’s only that big because Watford have won their last […]

HEARTS have climbed to second after a run of five Premiership matches without defeat and should make it six against a Hamilton side who handed them their first defeat of the season. That was a controversial 3-2 loss when Callum Paterson was wrongly sent off. There could be a bit of bad blood on Saturday and another red in the […]

THE DARTS worlds collide on Saturday when players from both the PDC and BDO combine to compete in the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton and darts expert @Lockuptipster is back with some pre-tournament tips… Martin “Wolfie” Adams will make his debut in the SINGHA Beer Grand Slam of Darts against Ian White on Saturday, while Andy Fordham is set […]

THERE are three British teams in Europa League action on Thursday and while we knew Celtic would go full strength it’s a surprise to see Liverpool and probably Spurs going the same way. Spurs were expected to rotate ahead of Sunday’s derby meeting against Arsenal while Jurgen Klopp seems to be trying to protect his unbeaten record and is gong […]

BAYERN MUNICH host Arsenal on matchday 4 of the Champions League and will be looking to avenge their 2-0 defeat at the Emirates a fortnight ago. Paddy Power are offering a huge price enhancement on the German champions to beat the Gunners, giving new customers 4-1 instead of the normal 4-11. I’ve already stated that I think Bayern will get […]

HIBS take on Dundee United in the fourth and final League Cup quarter-final tonight – so who will join Celtic, Ross County and St Johnstone in the last four? Both sides had great results at the weekend so it’s not an easy one to call and it could in the end come to which team fancies a cup run ahead […]

MATCHDAY 4 of the Champions League is upon us as we get to the business end of the Group Stages and Paddy Power have a tasty enhanced treble on offer for new customers tonight. They’ve boosted the odds on Juventus, Real Madrid and Manchester United all to win from just over 6/1 to a huge 22/1 giving you the chance […]

I DIDN’T do too much on Sunday but anything I looked at lacked goals – the both to score treble, Napoli and Gonzalo Higuain. My shortlist was fairly big and while some won and some lost I confidently napped Napoli at injury-hit Genoa but the Italian title challengers and their star striker went to sleep in front of goal. So […]

THERE’S darts action this afternoon in the Unibet European Championships from Belgium and @lockuptipster has previewed the quarter final ties between John Henderson and Peter Wright, and Michael van Gerwen and Dave Chisnall. @lockuptipster is aiming to maintain his amazing tipping from the Grand Prix last month so get on his bets and tune in to ITV4 when the action […]

ONE goal beat my btts treble on Saturday but it was good to see Scott Allott’s treble landing. I’ve reduced the shortlist I made during the week to three and here is Sunday’s effort. I’m starting with Southampton v Bournemouth, a south-coast derby that should produce goals. Southampton’s last five have brought up the market as have Bournemouth’s previous four. […]

SATURDAY started perfectly for me with two advised winners in the Celtic v Aberdeen game at 7-2 and 11-4. It ended miserably with Aleksander Kolarov’s missed penalty but that’s the gamble and I’m hoping Sunday brings me better luck. And while there is some skill involved in picking winners every punter needs some luck. The big game in Scotland on […]

IT’S a big weekend in Scotland with the top two in the Premiership and Championship locking horns. Top-flight leaders Celtic face Aberdeen trying to open up a seven-point gap at the top while Rangers will increase their advantage over Hibs to 11 points by winning at Easter Road. Celtic are no bigger than 1-2 at Stan James to beat a […]

THERE’S no Sergio Aguero for Man City on Saturday but there could be a return for David Silva. That’s the big news ahead of a meeting with Norwich that should produce goals – for both sides. City have hammered Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Newcastle in recent weeks but crucially conceded one goal each time. The price is close to 2-1 […]

THE Scottish weekend starts with a cracking contest between Premiership leaders Celtic and second-placed Aberdeen. A couple of weeks the Dons led the way but a run of four league games without a win has pushed them back and it will be interesting to see if a side lacking confidence can give Celtic any sort of contest. There’s also a […]

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 […]
