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 […]

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 […]

WITH top European leagues still in hibernation the focus this weekend moves across the pond. Interest in the MLS has been revived with the arrival of players such as Steven Gerrard – who made a scoring LA Galaxy debut last night – and Frank Lampard. David Villa is in sparkling form for New York City and Robbie Keane – who […]

ACE VENTURER will smiling smugly after his top tip Dustin Johnson made a spectacular start to The Open on day one. The big-hitting American fired a seven-under 65 to lead by one from six players including Paul Lawrie, Jason Day and Zach Johnson. If site tipster Ace is happy with his main pick how do you think the pro at […]

PICKING a winner of The Open was going to be easy … then Rory McIlroy decided to have a kickabout. The rest is history and my antepost bets were voided on the world No.1 who has fired 13 scores in the 60s over 16 competitive rounds at the Home of Golf. McIlroy loves St Andrews’ Old Course and it was […]

CELTIC can warm to their Champions League challenge by melting the limited Icemen of Stjarnan. Scottish clubs are traditionally slow starters in Europe but Ronny Deila’s men should reap the benefit of a sensible pre-season fixture list by hitting the ground running. The Hoops have travelled no further than Paisley in their pursuit of Champions League glory although results have […]

RAALJACA reckons Angel di Maria will start next season by staying at Man United or moving to PSG. If that’s the case he’s spotted a chance to make a small profit or no losss with Skybet offering Man Utd as his club after the sumer transfer window at evens and Ladbrokes going 6-5 on the French champions. Raaljaca’s tip ANGEL […]

I WAS hoping to settle down today to watch Andy Murray v Novak Djokovic in the men’s singles final but an incredible display by Roger Federer on Centre Court on Friday put paid to that. The king of Wimbledon turned back the clock with one of his best performances ever to win in straight sets and if he plays to […]
