IT looks like there will be a thrilling finish to the USPGA Championship tonight with Jordan Spieth stepping up his bid to win his third Major of the season. Ace Venturer and myself both tipped Jason Day antepost and the Aussie nearly man leads Spieth by two after an amazing finale last night. Spieth looked out of it but birdied […]

I THOUGHT bookies over-reacted to Chelsea being held by Swansea as they installed Man City as favourites to win the Premier League. The Blues were on course for victory until Thibaut Courtois was red carded and while City opened with a superb win at West Brom the three points were expected. However, there’s no doubt Jose Mourinho has been behind […]

A LOT has said on this site about Dunfermline this week and they’ve possibly earned more attention than even Hearts and Hibs did last season when they were overpriced for meetings with Rangers. Anyone following my tips since the start of the season will have cashed in on the Pars. They were my antepost pick for League One and my […]

FIRST up in the Premier League today it’s Southampton v Everton and let’s hope it’s more exciting than the dross served up at Villa Park in Friday night. At Daily Record towers we switched from the USPGA golf to the football and from seeing players shooting birdies and eagles we watched overpaid stars fire blanks. Louis van Gaal will be […]

IT’S been an exciting week in the crazy world that’s Scottish football. First Celtic No.2 John Collins says the rest of the league are rubbish then his side draw 2-2 at Killie before launching a bid to buy Hibs’ Scott Allan – a diehard Rangers fans. We also had a thrilling Dundee derby and hopefully there will be more thrills […]

ANYONE who watched Man United on Saturday will recoil at the prospect of backing them at a best 7-10 with Ladbrokes and William Hill to win tonight. Louis van Gaal’s side stunk out Old Trafford like rotting fish and were lucky to beat a struggling Spurs outfit courtesy of an OG. Aston Villa on the other hand were better – […]

THERE’S always a lot of talk about whether you should cash out a bet and my preference is to look at cover options. So how do you feel about a Coral punter from Aberdeen who won £49,989 for a £5 stake when he cashed out on a League Cup accumulator – but missed out on a £273.000 jackpot after his […]

MAN UTD have made the sexiest signings but Chelsea are likely to retain their Premier League title. Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay should be brilliant buys for Louis van Gaal but the Blues boast the best boss in the division in Jose Mourinho. Love or him hate him the Portuguese poser is so competitive and crafty he’s worth […]

FIVE years ago today I posted my first article on MrFixitsTips.co.uk. Little did I know the huge success it would turn in to. I’ve given away an estimated £10,000+ in free bets, not to mention bundles of cash, an iPad mini and tickets to various football matches and sporting events. Between myself and my various teammates we’ve posted almost 7500 […]

IT’S week two of the Scottish Premiership and day two of the lower-league season with some fascinating games to look at in Scotland. William Hill’s Owen Scott did well with a series of winners with his stats last week and he’s back with some more gems. Meanwhile, I tipped Dundee for the top six last week and after their 4-0 […]

RANGERS launch their league campaign tonight an even shorter price than they were to lift the title last season. Backers ripped up slips early as they were never in the hunt thanks to a rampant Hearts side. It should be a different story this season and two cup matches into Mark Warburton’s reign it looks like the ex-Brentford boss will […]

ABERDEEN performed a great escape in Kazakhstan to keep alive their Europa League hopes. The Dons have a decent chance of qualifying for the play-off stage after battling back from a horror start to lose 2-1 at Kairat Almaty last week. After conceding two early goals Derek McInnes’s men won the second half with Kenny McLean’s strike and are 11-10 […]

I COULD do no wrong last weekend with my tips on the Celtic v Qarabag match but predicting the outcome of Wednesday’s second leg is much tougher. My first-leg predictions included Celtic to win to nil and Dedryck Boyata to score at 12-1 and I’d love a repeat. Much has been said about the state of the bumpy Baku pitch […]

WITH a week to go to the much-anticipated start of the Premier League season we have the traditional curtain-raiser between champions and FA Cup holders. This season it’s Chelsea v Arsenal and what’s often just a glorified friendly has been cranked by a war of words between Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger. Mourinho’s had a serious pop at the Frenchman […]

CELTIC will raise the champions flag and kick off the season against Ross County – but planners have scheduled the best two games of the opening weekend for tomorrow. There’s not much about Celtic-Ross County that excites me but it’s a Super Sunday with Hearts v St Johnstone and Dundee Utd v Aberdeen. The Premiership badly missed Hearts, Hibs and […]

IT’S an exciting new adventure for Ladbrokes as their sponsorship of the Scottish leagues kicks off but as far as the top flight goes it will be the same old story. Celtic are streets ahead of everyone and Aberdeen are much better than the also-rans – so that’s your 1,2 sorted as easily as that. I predicted that outcome and […]

ABERDEEN wanted to go far in Europe – but not as far as any Scottish club has gone before. It’s a crazy 9500-mile round trip for the Dons to the edge of China and they’ll do well to come through a meeting with Kairat Almaty. The Dons are travelling further than any club involved in Europe this week but have […]

CELTIC brushed past Stjarnan fairly easily in their first Champions League qualifier but face a tougher test against Qarabag. For those unfamiliar with the team Qarabag are Azerbaijan champions and not something you pay 5p for in the local supermarket. They are team well backed with oil money and one that’s been building a decent pedigree in Europe in recent […]

THERE’S been a decent bit of chat about the anteposts on the site but as yet I haven’t put up any tips. It’s not a market I’m a great fan of – I prefer to place my bets and know if I’ve backed winners or losers hours later. Handing bookies money to look after for nine months isn’t No.1 on […]

PUNTERS and bookies have time to digest the draw for the World Cup 2018 that was made on Saturday. After the initial fury among the Tartan Army at being paired with England comes the realisation Scotland have been handed a tough task to qualify for Russia. As well as the English Gordon Strachan’s men are up against world-ranked 15 Slovakia, […]

IT all kicks off in Scotland today and the advice is to play with low stakes until some form patterns emerge. The Challenge Cup is now branded the Petrofac Training Cup but picking winners today will be no less of a challenge. Dozens of new players will be making debuts for the 32 teams involved and for many of the […]

CELTIC have faced Icelandic sides five times in Europe and their record is flawless – five wins, 16 scored and none conceded. Ronny Deila has been involved in three of those matches for an aggregate of 7-0 and the sequence should continue tonight. It’s almost job done for Celtic after a 2-0 first-leg win against Stjarnan that should have been […]

If you have any queries about what they are doing post them as a comment at the end of this article – and watch out for their daily tips on here or the main Mr Fixit thread. The boys haven’t been […]

WHO would have thought the second Ashes Test would have finished before The Open! That’s how it is after England’s cricketers caved in the Aussies at Lord’s while at St Andrews play is extended to Monday for only the second time in the tournament’s 144-year history. It was all change at the of the leaderboard on Sunday with Dustin Johnson […]

IT should be the final round of The Open but after weather delays on Friday and Saturday the third round will take place today and the final round tomorrow. After a day dominated by high winds Ace Venturer’s main outright tip Dustin Johnson leads by one from England’s Danny Willett and is a biggest 2-1 with bet365, Ladbrokes and others […]
