I’M not enjoying this trial one bit and maybe starting on what was mainly a cup week was a mistake. Panathinaikos beat me yesterday for a 4.82pts single and ironically the Greeks also downed long-shot Lee’s 14-1 treble. For the second day in a row he was unlucky after backing Matt Smith at 4-1 to score first for Bristol City […]

WE’RE only three days away from the game half of Scotland can’t wait for and the other half are dreading. Nearly three years have passed since Celtic last faced Rangers and emotions will be running at fever pitch on and off the pitch when the Glasgow rivals clash in the League Cup semi-final at Hampden on Sunday (KO 1.30pm). The […]

ANYONE who thought German footballers had packed it in will be smiling tonight as the Bundesliga sparks back to life. While UK stars have been on overtime over Christmas and New Year the Germans have enjoyed warm-weather training in diferent parts of the world. Bayern’s last league game was on December 19 and since then they been to Saudi Arabia […]

AFTER three days of the trial I finally landed a winner – and what a sweat it was. I was on Juventus at 4-11 to beat Parma in the Italian Cup but the only goal came after 88 minutes and moves me up to 8.82pts out of a starting bank of 20. Long-shot Lee was unlucky with his 20-1 treble […]

THIS thread is for football chat – not tips – and there should be plenty of it in the lead-up to Sunday’s Celtic-Rangers League Cup semi-final. Prices on a Celtic victory and on the handicaps are falling and I can’t see that trend being reversed. Rangers fans will back their side at up to 15-2 to win the game but […]

I WAS right about one thing – Lee’s struggling to put up a long-shot winner. However, I didn’t expect to post two losers at my first two attempts on the bank builder. All it proves is there are no certainties and it’s a good reason to stick to level stakes. I only wanted a Reading goal but in general they […]

CHELSEA battled into the Capital One Cup Final on Tuesday night and I expect them to be facing Spurs at Wembley. Spurs go into their second leg with League One Sheffield United 1-0 up and should rubber stamp their superiority. It won’t be easy though as the Blades are cup experts under Nigel Clough and for long spells were the […]

AFTER all the excitement of the FA Cup over the last four days it’s straight into the League Cup with Chelsea taking on Liverpool for a place in the Wembley final. The sides are locked at 1-1 after the first leg so either side needs to score to avoid extra time – and only then will the away-goals rule kick […]

DAY one of the trial didn’t go to plan with my safe double losing thanks to Benfica while Lee’s long-shot treble went down early with Empoli losing. I’ve lost seven points of my 20-point betting bank so I’ll need to be careful with the next few bets. Lee’s long shots have much smaller stakes on them so he’s down just […]

THIS thread is for football chat – not tips – and there should be plenty of it in the lead-up to Sunday’s Celtic-Rangers LAgue Cup semi-final. Prices on a Celtic victory and on the handicaps are falling and I can’t see that trend being reversed. Rangers fans will back their side with their heart but neutrals will be on the […]

TODAY I’m launching a bank builder v long shot trial and one of the main reasons is because of the variety of punters coming to this site. I’ve said before it’s difficult for me to keep everyone happy. I’m reluctant to put up too many tips – and sometimes I believe I do – but there’s so much football to […]

BOOKIES were celebrating after an amazing set of FA Cup results which saw the top three clubs in the Premier League beaten. Coral claimed their best single-day figures from FA Cup matches just a week after a record-breaking loss on football when the industry paid out in excess of £40million. There were smaller surprises with Palace winning at Southampton, Leicester […]

THE FA Cup matches started with two shocks – Cambridge holding Man Utd and Blackburn beating Swansea. Then it got really crazy with Bradford winning at Chelsea and Man City losing at home to Middlesbrough. On a day of shocks they were the biggest and it’s why it doesn’t pay to lump on short-priced teams in KO contests. Well done […]

THIS thread is for football chat – not tips – and there should be plenty of it on a busy Saturday. The FA Cup takes pride of place in England but should their be rules about how many players sides can rest – this is a top tournament that should respected by clubs big and small. And it would be […]

ABERDEEN’S draw at St Johnstone last night means Celtic stay top of the Premiership on goal difference and can go three clear with a game in hand today. Ronny Deila’s men head for Ross County looking to avenge the 0-0 draw the sides fought out at Parkhead earlier in the season. It’s the only domestic game Celtic men have failed […]

FA CUP weekend got off to a shock start with Man United’s draw at League Two Cambridge. Luckily my cards tip came up but the 0-0 was a good warning for punters ahead of a tough weekend. Team news is crucial when considering bets and here’s what I’ve gathered. Birmingham v West Brom Lloyd Dyer is expected to make his […]

THE SPFL action kicks off with tonight’s match between St Johnstone and Aberdeen with the Dons hoping to return to the top of the Premiership. A victory could put them back on the summit for all of 17 hours with Celtic in action on Saturday lunchtime at Ross County. William Hill’s Owen Scott has put together some stats for the […]

THIS thread is for football chat – not tips – so if you want to see punters’ best teams of all time this is the place. We can’t bet on it but I’m sure it will be a popular debate once cooldude reposts his line-up and of course raaljaca has already stated his preference. You can talk about anything football-related […]

I CALLED it right with Inverness to win and Billy Mckay to score first and there are four more Premiership games to consider on Wednesday night. Owen Scott of William Hill has put together some stats for the games and they’re tagged on the end of this post. Remember they’re not tips. Let’s start with Celtic who will return to […]

TEAM news is everything when looking a bet on the first leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final at Anfield. If this was a league game on current form the Blues would be my Super Single – but while I believe Chelsea will qualify for the Final they may not bust a gut at Liverpool. Chelsea were sublime at Swansea […]

FIRSTLY apologies for not putting up a new thread yesterday – like thousands of others I was too busy beating the bookies. Every W-D-W bet I put up on the site as well as all of my W-D-W and handicap bets won and it was a repeat of the Boxing Day battering bookies suffered. Today’s back page of the Racing […]

THERE are two Premier League games on Sunday with West Ham v Hull followed by the big one between Man City and Arsenal. West Ham have drawn too many for my liking but look a decent shout at 3-4 with the likes of William Hill and Paddy Power. Man City need to react to Chelsea’s 5-0 rout of Swansea and […]

TODAY sees the start of the Africa Cup of Nations where there are loads of top stars on show and it’s a tournament that can be pretty punter friendly. The action starts at 4pm with hosts Equatorial Guinea facing Congo at 4pm followed by Burkina Faso v Gabon. That second match at 7pm features a Burkina Faso side who have […]

ANDY MURRAY has been eased out to 10-1 from 8-1 with Unibet to win the Australian Open following a tough draw for the British No.1. The bookie is also betting on how far Muzza will go with a quarter-final elimination considered the most likely at 11-4 where he could meet Roger Federer. A semi final departure, where Rafa Nadal lies […]

THERE was plenty of football chat on the top tips post yesterday but only 40 comments on the one where we’re looking for anything but bets. We stated the chat thread because of demand so please come here to put up non-tips such as the fallout from the abandoned Rangers v Hearts game. Also let’s use this as a weather […]
