DEC 27: SCOTTISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 26 Dec 2014

IAN BARACLOUGH started his Motherwell career with victory at St Mirren last week and his influence has been talked up by players since he was appointed. Well have a chance of making it two wins in a row – especially if they give midfielder Lionel Ainsworth a sniff at goal. Baraclough may or may not know this but the Englishman […]

DEC 25: MERRY XMAS FROM MRFIXITSTIPS

Posted on: 24 Dec 2014

FIRST of all I’d like to wish everyone a happy Christmas from myself and everyone associated with the site. December’s been a particularly prosperous month for followers of the football tips – mine and others – as well as anyone backing Johnb’s horse racing tips. I’m on a short Christmas break so didn’t put up any tips on Christmas Eve […]

DEC 26: £100k FOR TOTESCOOP6

Posted on: 24 Dec 2014

THE Friday totescoop6 could be worth £100,000 to a single winner on Boxing Day after punters came up short at Wolverhampton last week. The win fund is expected to hit £75,000 and anyone lucky enough to land a piece of it could net a further £25,000 in the bonus race next Friday. The Boxing Day action comes from Kempton and […]

DEC 27-28: SPFL STATS PACK

Posted on: 23 Dec 2014

WHILE English clubs prepare for Boxing Day drama and repeat it all over at the weekend clubs in Scotland are rested up until Saturday. William Hill’s Owen Scott has completed his look at the stats before Santa falls down the chimney and here are his findings. Remember these are suggestions based on stats and not tips – but they can […]

DEC 23: COWDENBEATH v HEARTS TIPS

Posted on: 23 Dec 2014

THERE is only one game in two on Tuesday and my Daily Record column is devoted to the Scottish Championship clash between Cowdenbeath and leaders Hearts. I don’t usually reproduce my newspaper columns on the site but when I’ve only looked at this match it’s difficult not to. The Jambos remain unbeaten and untouchable in the league and I can’t […]

DEC 22: STOKE v CHELSEA BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 21 Dec 2014

A COUPLE of weeks ago bookies looked ready to pay out on Chelsea to win the title – but five wins a row have cast doubts over Jose Mourinho’s side’s ability to stay at the summit. Just when his men were looking invincible they lost at Newcastle and that’s given sides such as City a bit of hope going into […]

DEC 22: ITALIAN SUPER CUP TIPS

Posted on: 21 Dec 2014

JUVENTUS and Napoli travel to Doha for the annual Italian Super Cup fixtures which is being played overseas five times. The Italian champs have won on the last two occasions including a 4-2 win over Napoli in Beijing in 2012 so it’s clear they take it seriously even if doesn’t carry the importance of a Serie A match. Both sides […]

NEXT RANGERS BOSS BETTING PRICES

Posted on: 21 Dec 2014

BILLY DAVIES is the 1-1 favourite with McBookie.com to be the new Rangers manager following the news Ally McCoist has officially left the club. He is followed in the betting by Stuart McCall. However, assistant manager Kenny McDowall will take over his duties until the end of the season so the next boss won’t be appointed until after then. Paul […]

DEC 21: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 20 Dec 2014

THERE are two massive Premier League games on Sunday and I’m struggling to call either of them. First up it’s a Tyne-Wear derby between Newcastle and Sunderland followed by Liverpool v Arsenal which could be a cracker. Newcastle have suffered successive heavy defeats at Arsenal in the league and Spurs in the Capital One Cup but before that Alan Pardew’s […]

DEC 20: CLUB WORLD CUP FINAL

Posted on: 20 Dec 2014

IT’S that time of year when the European juggernauts pack their suitcases and get on with the business of conquering the world. Real Madrid cruised to a semi-final win against Cruz Azul in midweek and face Argentina’s San Lorenzo in the Club World Cup Final in Morocco. Carlo Ancelotti’s side are on a 21-match winning run and aren’t ready to […]

DEC 20-21: SPFL STAT PACK

Posted on: 18 Dec 2014

IT’S the last weekend before Christmas and William Hill’s Owen Scott has put on his Santa suit and come up with to some he hopes can help win punters sackfuls of cash. Remember these are Owen’s suggestions from looking purely at h2h results and form – they are not tips. ABERDEEN v KILMARNOCK Ryan Jack has scored in Aberdeen’s last […]

DEC 18: SERIE A BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 18 Dec 2014

THERE are two games in Serie A tonight and a double on Napoli and Juventus pays 4-5 at 10bet. Napoli entertain a Parma side who have been bought by Piacenza-based jeweller Dr Pietro Doca with the club having taken only six points from 15 games and having been docked one due to financial irregularities. The home men lie seventh after […]

DEC 17: CAPITAL ONE CUP BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 17 Dec 2014

LIVERPOOL are a biggest 11-10 with Coral to win at Bournemouth tonight – and it’s tempting. What would it have been at this time last season? What would it be if Liverpool were in decent form? For that answer look at the price Chelsea were to win at the Championship’s second best side Derby last night – around 1-2. Bookies […]

DEC 14: MAN UTD v LIVERPOOL BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 13 Dec 2014

MUCH of the focus on Sunday will be on Man Utd v Liverpool – still a huge game between two rivals who have no chance of winning the title. However, both will fancy taking a potshot at a top-four place with United best place at the moment. Louis van Gaal’s have found a way to win games recently – five […]

DEC 13: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 13 Dec 2014

WEST HAM have been the story of the season in the Premier League. Sure, Southampton have surprised most and Newcastle have recovered superbly from a poor start – but did anyone really believe the Hammers would be sitting in a Champions League spot after 15 games. Chances of Sam Allardyce’s side being there at the end of the season are […]

DEC 12-14: SPFL STATS PACK

Posted on: 11 Dec 2014

SPFL action starts with Queen of the South v Rangers on Friday and ends with Celtic at home to St Mirren on Sunday. William Hill’s Owen Scott has again by hunting down the stats and has come up with some bets that may or may not help you with your selections. Remember these are not tips. QoS V RANGERS (Friday) […]

DEC 11: EUROPA LEAGUE BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 10 Dec 2014

AFTER two profitable nights on the Champions League we move on to the Europa League where there is less chance of making money in my opinion. Eighteen clubs will battle for the 10 remaining places in the knockout phase so like last night team news will be vital and I’ll be wary of teams with nothing to play for. Everton, […]

DEC 7: MR FIXIT’S OVER 2.5 GOALS TREBLE

Posted on: 06 Dec 2014

ALL this talk about Barcelona v Espanyol got me thinking more about the game and I firmly believe the Nou Camp men will beat their neighbours by at least three goals. They have won their last five to nil at home in this fixture including two 4-0s. Four of the last seven meetings have gone over 2.5 goals and with […]

DEC 6: ENGLISH BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 06 Dec 2014

FANCY an early afternoon Costa? I’ll need a caffeine lift after a busy Friday is followed by a hectic Saturday – even if the latter just involves watching football. But after my morning energy booster I’ll be looking for Diego Costa to strike a blow for Jose Mourinho as he looks for his first win at St James’ Park as […]

DEC 6: MR FIXIT’S FRENCH FANCIES

Posted on: 06 Dec 2014

WHEN looking at today’s European card I didn’t mean to pick a French treble – it just happened that way. The first team to catch my at a decent price were Rennes who are out to continue their magnificent form at home to Montpellier. The Brittany side are on a nine-match unbeaten run (seven wins and two draws) – and […]

DEC 2: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 02 Dec 2014

THERE is a full card of Premier League matches on Tuesday and Wednesday and it’s a tricky-looking set of fixtures. Out of the 12 teams in action on Tuesday only two are odds on – Man Utd at home to Stoke and Swansea at home to QPR. They should both win with the double paying 6-4 at McBookie and BetVictor. […]

NOV 30: OVER 2.5 GOALS/BTTS TIPS

Posted on: 30 Nov 2014

I’M hoping for a goal-laden Sunday and start my line early with the Den Haag v Ajax clash. Ajax have netted exactly four goals in their last three league games against Heerenveen, Cambuur and Dordrecht and won 4-0 at Den Haag last season. The hosts have conceded 13 in six outings and there’s more chance of finding a hill in […]

NOV 29: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 29 Nov 2014

I’M not messing about with the English Premier League card this weekend – it looks tough to pick winners so I’m firing on a weighty double on Man Utd and Chelsea. United entertain Hull full of confidence after last week’s smash-and-grab win at Arsenal and Chelsea must feel they take on anyone after smashing Schalke 5-0 away in the Champions […]

NOV 29: SCOTTISH CUP BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 29 Nov 2014

THERE are 16 ties in the Scottish Cup fourth round and seven of them are crackers. Five all-Premiership ties were drawn as well the Sunday showdowns between Rangers v Kilmarnock and Hearts v Celtic – four sides who should be in the top flight. It means at least seven very good sides will exit and there is every chance of […]
