FEB 12: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 11 Feb 2015

ROD (Punting For Fun) is back on track after landing a treble at just under evens – Celtic, Man Utd and Chelsea draw no bet. That puts his betting bank back up to 25.3 points while Long-Shot Lee is down to six and could be days away from losing. Rod and Lee are playing to see which type of betting […]

DAY 11: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 11 Feb 2015

ROD (Punting For Fun) has followed four winners in a row with three losers to prove what a strange game betting can be. He was one goal short in the Algerian Cup game at ES Setif so that’s another 11 points off his total. Rod is back in the red and will be hoping to address that situation on Wednesday. […]

FEB 11: PARTICK TH v CELTIC BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 10 Feb 2015

RONNY DEILA is 2-1 with McBookie and BetVictor to collect the Treble in his first season but it’s easy to forget his side remain locked in a title fight with Aberdeen and Dundee United. Celtic are incredibly short at a best 1-20 at William Hill to retain their crown and to do so will want to pick up maximum points […]

DAY 10: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 09 Feb 2015

THERE were no winners for Punting For Fun (Rod) or Long Shot Lee on Monday with Rod losing on tennis and Lee missing out by a Lazio goal – his Devante Cole first-scorer pick was void. Rod’s followed four winners in a row with two 10pt losers and will be hoping to get back on track tonight. Lee’s still searching […]

DAY 9: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 08 Feb 2015

THERE was no joy for Punting For Fun (Rod) or Long Shot Lee on a frustrating Sunday of too man draws. Rod’s run of four winners in a row ended as Bruges lost at Kortrijk while Lee also fell at the first hurdle with Man Utd failing to beat West Ham. Rod and Lee are playing to see which type […]

FEB 8: SCOTTISH CUP TEAM NEWS AND TIPS

Posted on: 07 Feb 2015

THE William Hill Scottish Cup threw up just once shock on Saturday with holders St Johnstone crashing out at Championship side Queen of the South. As predicted there were fairly routine wins for Celtic, Falkirk and Hibs and I also tipped non-league Spartans not to lose at home to Berwick and their hopes remain alive after a 1-1 draw. Inverness […]

DAY 8: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 07 Feb 2015

ROD (Punting For Fun) is proving bankers are best – unless you take Man City – with his fourth winner in a row. On Saturday he went for an over 1.5 goals treble in matches at Dinamo Zagreb, Hapoel Kiryat Shmona and Twente and the 1.78 win came in fairly comfortably. The latest success takes Rod’s profit up to 26.8 […]

FEB 7: AT MADRID v REAL MADRID BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 07 Feb 2015

CRISTIANO RONALDO will return for Real Madrid today (3pm) but the European champions will be without James Rodriguez, Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo. Nacho Fernandez and Rafael Varane are set to start at the centre of the Real defence while Fabio Coentrao is fit once again and will replace Brazilian Pepe at left-back. Ronaldo, who turned 30 on Thursday, missed […]

FEB 7: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 07 Feb 2015

RECORD sums of money will ride on Steven Gerrard making his last Merseyside derby a memorable one according to Ladbrokes. Bookies nationwide will be braced to pay out up to £500,000 if the Liverpool legend is among the goals one final time, meaning he’ll trigger the biggest return for one player in the history of the clash if the script […]

FEB 7: SCOTTISH CUP TIPS & TEAM NEWS

Posted on: 07 Feb 2015

IT’S William Hill Scottish Cup weekend and McBookie.com are offering 4-1 the trophy will be won by a non-Premiership team. With four guaranteed to make the quarter-finals the firm is also going 12-1 for an all-non Premiership Final. Celtic are 5-6 favourites to win the Cup ahead of their lunchtime showdown at Dundee and I expect them to march into […]

DAY 7: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 06 Feb 2015

ROD (Punting For Fun) notched his third win on the spin on Friday and has almost doubled his betting bank in six days. Long-shot Lee’s treble looked good at one stage but St Etienne then started to leak goals so he is yet to find a winner at 10-1 plus although he’s had several close calls. Rod and Lee are […]

GAVIN HASTINGS’ SIX NATIONS BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 06 Feb 2015

IRELAND are the team to beat at this year’s Six Nations with France the ones to watch, according to Scottish rugby legend Gavin Hastings. Speaking exclusively to mrfixitstips via online bookie Unibet Hastings said: “I think France will be the closest challengers to Ireland to win the Six Nations this year. “If the French win their opener agains Scotland they’ll […]

DAY 6: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 05 Feb 2015

ROD (Punting For Fun) notched his second win on the spin thanks to Groningen not to lose and Judd Trump to win in the snooker. The double paid 1.94 and I defaulted him to five points as he didn’t pick a stake. Long-shot Lee didn’t have any joy with his four-timer and is still to land a winner. Rod and […]

FEB 7-8: WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH CUP STATS

Posted on: 05 Feb 2015

IT’S William Hill Scottish Cup weekend with big ties such as Dundee v Celtic and small ones like Spartans v Berwick. Let’s hope for some smashing matches and who knows what we’ll get when Rangers blood their three fit on-loan Newcastle players against Raith Rovers. As usual William Hill’s Owen Scotts has dug up some interesting stats for the eight […]

DAY 5: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 05 Feb 2015

ROD (Punting For Fun) is back in profit after landing a 10-point treble that paid just under evens. He went for Real Madrid, Zwolle and Galatasaray while not for the first time Long-shot Lee was unlucky with four out of five on his 10-1 fourfold. Almost every day one part has beaten Rod and that’s why it’s tough to land […]

FEB 4: BOLTON v LIVERPOOL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 04 Feb 2015

BOLTON battled superbly force an FA Cup replay with a 0-0 draw at Anfield but I’m firmly on the side of the Premiership outfit in the replay. Bolton defended in numbers and never had a shot on target but Brendan Rodgers’s side couldn’t break them down. Lennon’s star man was keeper Adam Bogdan and he’ll be missing through injury so […]

DAY 4: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 03 Feb 2015

A LOT has been said about this trial but one thing Rod (Punting For Fun) has proved is there’s no point in backing a 1-14 shot. He managed three out of four on his 4-5 linewith Young Boys draw no bet the only to beat him as they lost a friendly to minnows Biel. Lee managed two out of four […]

DAY 3: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 03 Feb 2015

THE first strike in the challenge has been struck by Rod (Punting For Fun) who picked a nice double on Monday. After Anderlecht beat his fourfold on Sunday he put 10 points on Maccabi Tel Aviv and Zamalek to win at 1.86. I was away all day yesterday and wasn’t able to press Lee for his long shot (if truth […]

FEB 1: CELTIC v RANGERS BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 31 Jan 2015

I’VE probably written more than 100 Old Firm betting previews down the years and have only been confident about the outcome two or three times. Form goes out the window in derbies but when these two meet it is blown to pieces. However, in Sunday’s League Cup semi-final I see only one outcome … a Celtic win at a best […]

FEB 1: BIG-GAME TEAM NEWS

Posted on: 31 Jan 2015

THERE are two games in the English Premier League as well as a titanic League Cup semi-final clash between Celtic and Rangers. I’ve made my thoughts clear on the Old Firm game and in the Premier League I have to fancy home wins for Arsenal and Southampton. Here’s some team news that may help you make your picks. Celtic v […]

DAY 1-2: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 31 Jan 2015

THIS trial is starting again – without me. Long-shot Lee will now take on Punting For Fun (Rod during the month of February. Lee reckons he can win more betting on 10-1 shots and above than people doing short-priced bank builders and hopefully Punting For Fun can prove him wrong. Both will start on Sunday with 20 points and if […]

JAN 31: CHELSEA v MAN CITY BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 31 Jan 2015

I HAD done a write-up for today’s Daily Record tipping Chelsea to win the big game with Man City – then ripped it up after Diego Costa was handed a three-match ban for stamping. Without Costa as well as Didier Drogba and Andre Schurrle and doubts about Branislav Ivanovic and Cesc Fabregas it could be a tough day for the […]

LEAGUE CUP: CELTIC v RANGERS – 1 DAY TO GO

Posted on: 30 Jan 2015

SUNDAY’S OLD Firm clash looks set to break Scottish football betting records according to Ladbrokes. The bookies forecast more than £10 million will ride on the outcome of the League Cup semi-final across the industry – with more than £5m bet by Scots in the run-up to kick off – eclipsing the 2010-11 League Cup Final which stands as the […]

JAN 31: SPFL STATS PACK

Posted on: 30 Jan 2015

OWEN SCOTT of William Hill has dug out some stat for this weekend’s league games while of course it’s the League Cup semi-finals between Aberdeen-Dundee Utd and Celtic-Rangers that dominate the card. Remember these are not tips – but they be something you fancy backing. His Inverness special is dead and buried after striker Billy Mckay signed for Wigan. DUNDEE […]

BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 30 Jan 2015

I SET up this trial to prove to long-shot fan Lee that backing big accumulators wasn’t the way to go. He challenged me to an experiment to see who could make a 20-point betting bank last longer and he’s the winner – so I’ll need to buy him a few beers. So far the trial hasn’t proved him right because […]
