NAPOLI coach Rafael Benitez has urged his team to build on their weekend demolition of Verona when they visit Atalanta on Wednesday. The Azzurri signalled for the first time this season in Sunday’s 6-2 rout they have the makings of a team that can challenge for the Scudetto. Sunday’s victory was Napoli’s fourth of the campaign and lifted Benitez’s side […]

THE BMW Masters gets underway early on Thursday morning at the Lake Malaren GC, Shanghai with 40 million points over the next four weeks up for grabs in the Race to Dubai. All European earnings were converted to points after the Perth International last week and the winner of each of the next four tournaments will gain 1.66m points. Rory […]

MONDAY night’s live TV offering from the Premier League features QPR v Aston Villa (8pm) and having studied this game from all angles I can’t come to a firm conclusion about the result. That might be the mark of a rubbish tipster – that’s up for you to decide – but I hope it’s more to do with the nature […]

THERE has been plenty of action surrounding Rangers off the field but the focus will be on the pitch when they meet St Johnstone in the first of the League Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday. With Celtic expected to beat Partick Thistle tomorrow and Rangers odds on against the Saints there is a decent chance of an Old Firm semi-final. William […]

THERE’S more been said about Hearts recently on this site than War and Peace – and we know who’s to blame for that. Still, you can’t deny raaljaca’s beloved Jambos have won punters plenty of money this season and that trend should continue when they take on Hibs in the Edinburgh on Sunday (12.15pm). I expect Hearts to win but […]

IT would take a brave man to pick a winner between Real Madrid and Barcelona today. The sides clash in El Clasico at 5pm and there’s even more interest surrounding the fixture as Luis Suarez prepares to make his competitive debut for the visitors. Boss Luis Enrique says the Uruguayan will play but he’s unlikely to start with Neymar and […]

OWEN SCOTT of William Hill has been poring over this weekend’s SPFL games and has come up with his usual list of interesting facts and stats. Some of these will aid your betting but remember they are not tips – just info. ABERDEEN v MOTHERWELL (Friday) Only one of Aberdeen’s last 5 matches have had less than 4 goals scored. […]

IT wasn’t a bad weekend with good finishes by Webb Simpson and Brooks Koepka giving me two places. As it’s nearing the end of the year I’ve been looking at my performance over the year. Since the beginning of January I’ve picked 12 winners, from 5-1 to 50-1, at an average of 17-1 and one a month. On top of […]

BROOKS KOEPKA gave us a good run for our money last week but his final round let him down. But one bad 18 holes does not a bad golfer make (well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it). I’m also sticking to Koepka again this week at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open on the TPC Summerlin course in […]

HANDS up if you hate betting on your own team. I don’t like touching Scotland or Clydebank matches and I’ll certainly never back agains either although I’ve been tempted to do so many times. However, I’m happy to relax one of my rules today and back Scotland to gub Georgia. On current form and recent displays Gordon Strachan’s men should […]

BOOKIES are taking no chances at all with the England v San Marino Euro 2016 qualifier on Thursday. I’ve studied the markets and the prices and there’s little value to be found unless you believe England will struggle to score more than a handful. San Marino are the worst side in the world – even poorer than Craig Levein’s Scotland […]

TOMMY FLEETWOOD was so close last Sunday for the second week running and hopefully it will be third time lucky this weekend. Myself and Mr Fixit both tipped him each-way at 28-1 and he finished joint second after missing a six-footer at St Andrews to force a play-off with Oliver Wilson. With four top-five finishes from his last six events […]

TEAM news rather than form or stats is the most important piece of info ahead of tonight’s Johnstone Paint Trophy matches. Sides are supposed to play six starters from last weekend or six who will start the next match but remember many sides are without players on international team news. Here’s team news I’ve gathered from various sources including the […]

THIS weekend’s SPFL action kicks off with Kilmarnock v Dundee Utd on Friday and William Hill’s Owen Scott has been working hard to come up with stats that may influence your bets for this one and others that follow. All prices quoted are from William Hill and remember these are stats not tips. Kilmarnock v Dundee Utd (Friday) Dundee Utd […]

WHAT a weekend that was! Great result for Europe and some brilliant golf. Unfortunately my selections were hopeless and as Mr Fixit said I should just stick to strokeplay. So we’re back to “normal” golf at the Alfred Dunhill that’s played over St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarn this week. I say “normal” but it’s not really as the golfers will […]

IT was a brilliant day for Europe and my tips as the Ryder Cup nears a conclusion. Paul McGinley’s men go into Sunday’s singles leading 10-6 and much of that is down to Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. The English/Swedish pair won me two Super Singles on Friday and another on Saturday morning. My Saturday NB also trapped thanks to […]

PAUL McGINLEY has kept faith with Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson for day two of the Ryder Cup after the pair impressively earned two points as Europe battled to a 5-3 lead over the USA. And I’d be crazy to give them a miss after picking them not once but twice for Super Singles on Friday. Rose and Stenson get […]

TEMPERS are 100-1 to flare for all four teams involved in Premier League derby matches this weekend according to Ladbrokes. The bookie makes it 8-1 there is a red card in each of the games, with the longer odds offered about all four sides ending the game at least a man down. Anyone who thinks the bad blood will spill […]

AFTER years of planning and preparation the 2014 Ryder Cup tees off at 7.35 on Friday morning at Gleneagles. It promises to be a fascinating contest between Europe and the USA and I’ve listed and Ace Venturer’s tips on the end. Here are the fourball pairing after captains Paul McGinley and Tom Watson revealed their picks. 7.35am: JUSTIN ROSE & […]

THERE are four matches in the big European leagues tonight – two in Spain, one in Italy and one in France. I’ve put together some previews and team news from all four that help you make your selections. Let’s start with Lazio v Udinese. The Romans have been dealt a blow ahead of the game with defender Santiago Gentiletti was […]

AT last it’s here, the weekend we’ve been waiting for longer than a 99 bus. The Ryder Cup comes to Gleneagles and it should be sensational. Just watched Memories of Medinah to get me in the mood with Ian Poulter pulling the Europeans up by the bootlaces and it was magical. The final day was probably one of the best […]

I’VE posted my top tips and came to the conclusion about many of them after studying team news for matches across Europe. This type of research also helps me and I hope some of the info influences the decisions you make tonight. Let’s start with Juventus v Cesena and I’ve tipped the champions minus one and also expect them to […]

PUNTERS were left reeling at the weekend as a host of short-priced big names failed to turn up. Many poor shows were put down to European involvement but that didn’t affect the likes of Real Madrid who won 8-2. Hot favourites such as Celtic, Rangers, Man Utd, Spurs, Everton, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Sociedad, PSG and Red Bull Salzburg bombed […]

LADBROKES say two customers backed Leicester to beat Man United 5-3 on a day of shocks in the English Premier League. The scoreline paid 500-1 and it was worth £1 to two lucky and extremely optimistic punters while Leicester were matched at 299-1 on the Ladbrokes betting exchange when trailing United 3-1. Leicester’s win along with further victories for underdogs […]

I DON’T know who was more shocked last week when Diego Costa was benched v Schalke – me or the Chelsea hitman. Costa’s face wore a bemused grin for 75 minutes as he watched Didier Drogba struggle against the Germans in the Champions League opener. And I wasn’t best pleased having tipped him to score. In fact the only person […]
