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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
