THE Premier League’s goal-laden weekend ended with a pretty tepid affair at Vicarage Road. Chances were at a premium as Crystal Palace beat Watford 1-0 with a penalty. That ended the sequence of over 2.5 goals in the top flight and there is every chance West Brom v Everton will go that way too. Both sides have been better in […]

THE first win and both teams to score team effort didn’t land a winner although seven of the eight teams featured scored. Birmingham were the only ones not to net but all of the other three picks – West Ham, Ipswich and Ayr – all drew. I placed trebles and a fourfold with half of the winnings of almost £500 […]

MANCHESTER CITY, Arsenal and Chelsea all look decent chances to win today in the Barclays Premier League and the treble pays around the 9-2 mark – but not if you open a new account at Paddy Power. They’ve boosted the odds on all three winning at Spurs, Leicester and Newcastle respectively to a massive 25-1. The treble kicks-off at 12.45 […]

ONE of those most popular bets these days is both teams to score and win. Every day we have debates about the types of markets to do, what’s best for making profit, etc – and all the best advice about concentrating in singles goes against taking btts and match result. Average odds for a treble are about 50-1 but this […]

IN the Premier League the early game sees leaders Man City visit Spurs who are still looking for a league goal from England star Harry Kane. City have only lost one in five at White Hart Lane – twice running out 5-1 winners – and I’m on them 20-21 at Betfred. Tonight’s live match sees Chelsea travel to Newcastle. I’m […]

WITH just two goals in eight games – and none in the last four – Scottish bookmakers McBookie.com are offering 8-1 Partick Thistle will set a Premiership record of scoring the least amount of goals in a season. The current record is 23 goals by St Johnstone in 2010-11 (sorry Greg). The Jags travel to managerless Motherwell today and McBookie […]

I’VE been telling Desmond he needs to change his name to Desmond one-2s and he’s taken it in good heart. Our new tipster has started off with two single wins out of four 2+ goals selections but clever staking means he’s only lost 0.17pts. Nevertheless he’s keen to land the double and is hoping to do so at his third […]

WE ALL dream of winning big when we place our weekend accas and for one punter in Govan, Glasgow that dream came true last weekend. James Creaney managed to turn £10 into £20,010 thanks to five correct selections in the Both Teams to Score at Half-Time market at his local Betfred shop. The bet looks pretty simple and James admits […]

WITH the recent addition of Desmond to the site we have a tipster who will only advise 2+ goals bets. It’s a market I’ve dabbled in over the past couple of years but it’s mostly backing sides who are too short on the WDW market. Desmond started well enough and his Tuesday double just fell short with Torquay scoring one. […]

WAS it a shock or wasn’t it? The debate will rage on after 9-2 shots St Johnstone won at Rangers to end Mark Warburton’s perfect start to his Ibrox career. Well done everyone on the Saints and as I said we’d find out a lot about Rangers and where they stand. On that showing the defence isn’t ready but at […]

EVERYONE knows the perils of betting on Capital One Cup matches with so many of the top-flight teams showing a total lack of interest in progressing. The big guns usual progress but I don’t believe it’s possible to confidently predict WDW in any game without concrete team news – or better still line-ups. Tuesday night’s games include a midlands derby […]

ONLY in Scotland would a top-flight club be as big as 9-2 away to a team from a lower division. But this is the phenomenon that’s Rangers who are fighting to make their return to the top flight after an absence of four seasons. We’ll find out a lot about Mark Warburton’s side tonight – but bookies have already made […]

OUR newest tipster Desmond kicked his two 2+ goals tips with one winner and one loser. He will always advise singles and 0.5pt double so with the winner paying 6-4 it was a break-even day. Here’s Desmond’s double for Tuesday. He says: Gents,this midweek I’m looking at two teams in the Vanarama National League. First up it’s Bromley at home […]

IN the Scottish Premiership today best bets could be Ross County at home to rock-bottom Partick Thistle. The Dingwall men are unbeaten in four and the Jags haven’t netted in four but have a decent record in the Highlands. County almost mirror Leicester in England with a brilliant finish to last season and a really solid start to the new […]

LEICESTER’S comeback to beat Aston Villa 3-2 last week was thrilling to watch. Riyad Mahrez inspired the recovery from 2-0 down and the £500,000 signing looks the bargain buy of last season. The Algerian’s been brilliant this term with six goals and two assists and a league high 22 dribbles (according to opta). Leicester have continued where they ended under […]

GREG’S enjoyed a great week so let’s hope his form runs into the weekend. We’ve obviously had problems with the site but Greg managed to put his tips up earlier as comments. Accrington Stanley v Exeter It’s been a terrific September for the visitors, not just because of their three wins but because of the quality of the oppostion they […]

ABERDEEN are setting a furious pace at the top of the Scottish Premiership and there is even talk of a possible title race. Champs Celtic are five points behind but the Dons face a tricky visit to Tynecastle to tackle Hearts on Sunday. Scottish bookmakers McBookie.com are offering 6-4 Aberdeen will still be top of the league on Christmas Day. […]

BOOKIES predict industry turnover for the World Cup could hit £100 million with William Hill alone expecting to take bets in excess of £20m. As it stands an astonishing 26 per cent of Hills’ customers have backed England to win this year’s tournament that kicks off on Friday. Wales, Australia and Ireland have attracted 12 per cent with the favourites […]

CELTIC have crashed out of the Champions League arguably to face tougher opposition in the Europa League. Ajax and Fenerbahce look better sides than the Malmo outfit that sent the Hoops packing from the elite stage – and that’s got to be worrying for boss Ronny Deila. While Celtic fans neck Amstel by the crateful in Amsterdam the players may […]

ABERDEEN sparked an “is it or isn’t it a title race” debate with their weekend defeat of champions Celtic. I can’t see past the Glasgow giants in the long run but it has to be regarded as a contest until the holders pull away. And that could be later rather than sooner as Aberdeen have an opportunity to extend their […]

CHELSEA have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine league matches – and it’s the main reason they wanted to sign England star John Stones. Jose Mourinho will get a good look at the player Everton refused to sell when the teams meet at Goodison at lunchtime. The Portuguese boss was desperate to buy the top defender having […]

I’VE talked a lot this week about the games involving Rangers and Dunfermline and both high scorers feature heavily on my top tips. The matches at Ibrox and East End Park may produce the most goals but match of the day is at Pittodrie as Aberdeen take on Celtic trying to prove they can be serious challengers. To do that […]

SCOTTISH bookies McBookie.com are offering 7-2 Rangers will score five or more goals for the fourth consecutive week when they play Livingston on Saturday. And the firm is going just 3-1 that Mark Warburton’s men will hit double figures this season. One of William Hill’s standout bets this weekend is a mythical Celtic v Rangers match – Celtic travel to […]

HEARTS, Rangers and Dunfermline have been everyone’s favourite teams on the site purely from a punting viewpoint. The three teams have played 16 league games this season with 14 wins and two defeats. Even more impressive is the fact they’ve netted 55 goals between them so on most occasions you can back them to win by two or more. Rangers […]

IT was interesting when I put up my 10-team Saturday Super Single shortlist this week that one of the first comments was “I wonder what the tenfold pays?” Turns out it was about 900-1 but I can pretty much guarantee it won’t come up. A couple of people have risked £1 and there’s nothing wrong with that but all those […]
