THIS week we have the BMW International in Cologne which includes US Open champ Martin Kaymer who grew up around 30 kilometres from the venue and Henrik Stenson who finished a credible T4th behind Kaymer at Pinehurst. In his last three European outings Stenson has not been out of the top seven. His driving accuracy is around 67 per cent […]

WELL we should have known better. England ended their World Cup nightmare with a tame 0-0 draw against Costa Rica that was as exciting as watching grass grow. Most punters reckoned there would at least be goals but the likes of Daniel Sturridge failed to pack his shooting boots. The only person who tipped no scorer was nobbygnome and he/she […]

GERMANY have been the outstanding team of the tournament but that’s judging them on one performance against a 10-man and out of sorts Portugal. I’m not sure if the Germans were brilliant or Portugal awful but we know Joachim Low’s side thrive on confidence and will feel they can go all the way. Holland were put on a pedestal after […]

ENGLAND are just 1-10 to get knocked out of the World Cup at the group stages according to Ladbrokes. The bookies had slashed England to 4-5 to qualify following Wayne Rooney’s maiden World Cup goal but Luis Suarez’s late strike leaves the side long odds-on not to make it to the last 16 with odds of 5-1 offered about Roy […]

WE tagged Group D the Group of Death pre-tournament and that was without taking into account Costa Rica could live with the big guns. It was supposed to be two going through from Italy, England and Uruguay but at the moment it’s Italy and Costa Rica in the driving seat after opening wins. England played well in losing 2-1 to […]

WE’VE now seen all 32 teams in action at Brazil 2014 and it’s been a case of the good, bad and the ugly. European teams have been the best performers and there’s every chance of a first win on South American soil with Germany and Holland the most likely of the top guns. Brazil and Argentina will have something to […]

WHAT a great eight-stroke win at the weekend for Martin Kaymer in the US Open. It’s the fourth time in five Opens a European has won the tournament and hopefully this is an omen for the Ryder Cup later on this year. We’re back to Europe this week with the Irish Open at the Fota Island Resort in Cork with […]

FIRST up on Wednesday it’s team of the tournament Holland against Australia followed by what could be a thriller between Spain and Chile. The Dutch lit up Brazil with their 5-1 mauling of Spain and there seems no way the Aussies can stop them. I was impressed by the Group B underdogs even though they lost their opener 3-1 to […]

FIRST up on Tuesday it’s Belgium v Algeria and it will be interesting to see if the winners of Scotland’s qualifying group live up to the hype. Some people (not me) have talked them up as potential winners but in a European sense I don’t put them in the same bracket as Germany, Holland or even France. However, they are […]

WE’RE just about ready for the big one – England v Italy – and I’m expecting loads of comments and in-play tips on the game. So for this one I’ve created a special thread and I’d ask anyone to put up in-play thoughts and advice on the match here. Don’t comment until the Group D clash kicks off at 11pm […]

THERE have been goals galore at the start of the World Cup with many games unexpectedly going over 2.5 goals. One that cries out goals, goals, goals is Ivory Coast v Japan in the early hours of the morning – and wouldn’t it be ironic if this is the one that fails to deliver. I can’t many staying up for […]

SATURDAY’S totescoop6 bonus fund wasn’t won after See The Sun shone brightest in the BetBright Charity Sprint at York. Two anonymous punters were going for the £119,713 prize,one of whom – a 49-year-old driver from Merseyside – had pledged to donate half his winnings to the charity Macmillan if his selection Charles Molson passed the winning post in front. The […]

GROUP E gets under way at 5pm today with Colombia v Greece and it’s followed in the early hours of the morning by Ivory Coast v Japan. The popular bet on any Greece match will be no scorer and my call is 0-0 a 1-0 Colombia win a possibility. Games so far have bucked the trend of South Africa and […]

ENGLAND kick off their World Cup campaign tonight and the jury’s out on Roy Hodgson’s side with expectations low having been paired in Group D with Italy and Uruguay. It really is any two from three to go through and when it comes to the knockout stage anything can happen. Paddy Power wrote off England’s hopes by offering enhanced odds […]

ALL eyes will be on hosts Brazil tonight as they kick off World Cup 2014 against Croatia. I believe Brazil will go all the way to the Final even though the silky skills of great past teams have been replaced by a dogged defence … Neymar. The Barcelona striker is the one superstar in the side and if he performs […]

I’VE put up my top scorer tips and touched on my choice as winner and runners-up. There are loads of antepost betting opportunities and of course one punters will focus on is group betting. For many teams it will be vital to finish top to avoid a tougher last-16 draw. It won’t always work out that way though. One of […]

OVER the the next few days I’ll be putting up my antepost tips for Brazil 2014 – they’d have been done earlier but I’m still mulling over some bits and pieces. My winner will come from Brazil, Argentina or Germany with the Argentines my favourites at the moment. One of the most popular markets is the one to find top […]

JASON CUMMINGS answered Terry Butcher’s call for a hero – and I don’t see any way back for Hamilton in the second leg of their Premiership play-off final today. A double from young Cummings earned Hibs a 2-0 lead and on the evidence of last Wednesday they can extend that at Easter Road. Accies will have to score first to […]

FINALS are rarely great games but hopefully this much-anticipated Champions League showdown will live up to its billing. It’s the first final between city rivals and should have an edge to it. Neither will want to lose and for the one that does the scar of defeat will show for a long time. Real Madrid obsess about La Decima … […]

THE world’s richest game takes place on Saturday with Derby facing QPR for the right to play in the Premier League next season. As much as £120million is said to be at stake so it’s not a game for the fainthearted. Derby would be popular winners of the Championship play-off final today after thrilling punters all season with their gung-ho […]

SATURDAY’S totescoop6 will see the biggest betting prize offered on a British racecourse when the pools are expected to exceed £15million. The six races that make up this momentous bet have been split between Catterick, Goodwood and Haydock. The win fund currently stands at £6,874,345 having evaded punters for 12 weeks, while the bonus pot is worth £3,824,712 after rolling […]

HIBS are favourites to win the Premiership play-off final with Hamilton simply because they are the higher-ranked team – but they haven’t been performing like one. Much has been written on this site about Hibs’ plight this season and plenty of us have made money from their losses. Terry Butcher’s men won just one in 19 games to slump into […]

THE best golfers in Europe will be lining up this week for the BMW at Wentworth in what is a key qualifying event for the Ryder Cup. William Hill make Justin Rose, Lee Westwood and Rory Mcllroy their joint 12-1 favourites with last week’s Spanish Open winner Miguel Angel Jimenez the best backed player at 33-1. Our golf man Ace […]

OSASUNA must beat relegated Real Betis in their final match to have a chance of staying up. Their top-flight status also depends on the outcome of the matches involving second-bottom Real Valladolid who also have 36 points and need a win against Granada for any chance of survival. Granada sit just above the bottom three and could be safe with […]

CHAMPIONS Juventus are 1-4 at William Hill to beat Cagliari at home on the final day and should do so to cap a superb season. Antonio Conte’s side are aiming for a record 33rd win in a campaign and will go through the 100-points barrier by doing so. Juve have won all of their games at home this season while […]
