GOLF: DEUTSCHE BANK BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 26 Aug 2014

HUNTER MAHAN had me biting my nails last week with his last-hole antics but thankfully he held on and we had a winner for the fifth week in a row – and a 50-1 shot at that. Can I make it six Here’s hoping. This week it’s the Deutsche Bank at TPC Boston. It’s not a difficult course and last […]

AUG 23: ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS

Posted on: 23 Aug 2014

I TIPPED Chelsea to win the Premier League – and saw nothing on the opening weekend to put me off. My only concern about backing the Blues for the title was a price of 2-1 but that’s well gone now after punters were impressed by their Turf Moor display. Sure, the Blues had an easy game on paper at promoted […]

GOLF: THE BARCLAYS/CZECH MASTERS BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 20 Aug 2014

THIS week we are at The Barclays in New Jersey for the first of four FedEx Cup Playoffs with all the big names in the hat with the exception of Tiger Woods, Steve Stricker, Jason Dufner and Dustin Johnson. Picking a winner is going to be a tough call but hopefully we can make it five in a row after […]

WE know you like to win big but do you like to win colossally!

AUG 16: SPFL STATS PACK AND TIPS

Posted on: 15 Aug 2014

RANGERS managed to grind out a much-needed result against Falkirk on Friday and its now the turn of champions to see if they can produce a performance or at least the scoreline fans want. The champions will raise the league flag and there should be a party atmosphere for the visit of leaders Dundee United. But will the champagne go […]

PREMIER LEAGUE ANTEPOSTS & WEEK 1 TIPS

Posted on: 15 Aug 2014

ANYONE who has been following the site will know Chelsea are my picks to win the Premier League but I expect it to be another close-run race. Last season it was thrilling three-way fight between Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool before the Etihad outlasted their rivals to take the glory. Arsenal set the early pace but Man United were never […]

AUG 15: FALKIRK v RANGERS BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 14 Aug 2014

RANGERS have already lost more league games than last season and in two domestic outings have done nothing to justify their billing as hot favourites to win the Championship. The only price that’s fallen as far as the Ibrox side are concerned is Ally McCoist’s odds to win the sack race – and he is now 4-1 at McBookie. Rangers […]

GOLF: MADE IN DENMARK/WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP TIPS

Posted on: 13 Aug 2014

RORY McILROY made it hard for himself on Sunday but came through in the end, making it three titles in a row and helping us with our third winner in a row. We also picked Rickie Fowler who had another great Major, finishing T3 at 25-1. So not a bad week for our selections. This week I’m focusing on the […]

AUG 13: SPFL PREMIERSHIP BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 13 Aug 2014

I TIPPED Aberdeen to win the Scottish Premiership without Celtic but their bid got off to a terrible start with Sunday’s 3-0 defeat at home to Dundee United. Aberdeen were described as “leggy” by boss Derek McInnes after their loss and while that’s difficult to understand for those who work long hours at the coalface they did put a lot […]

AUG 13: SPFL MIDWEEK STATS PACK

Posted on: 12 Aug 2014

OWEN SCOTT of William Hill has gone through Wednesday’s Premiership card and looked at Friday’s Championship match and come up with relevant stats. Remember these are not tips – I’ll put up a review – but they may help you when looking for a bet (all prices William Hill). Dundee Utd v Motherwell Dundee Utd have won the last two […]

ANTEPOSTS: ENGLISH FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 09 Aug 2014

THE CHAMPIONSHIP season kicked off in England last night with a fairly tedious draw between Blackburn and Cardiff. Most people fancied goals in the game but both teams to score just came in and on that early showing neither side looked title contenders. That’s good for me as I’m eyeing up Derby to launch a major challenge – if they […]

AUG 9: SPFL STATS PACK

Posted on: 07 Aug 2014

EVERY weekend William Hill’s Scottish football expert Owen Scott studies the stats to come up with betting specials. These are not tips but of interest to people who love looking at the stats before having a bet. All prices are with William Hill. Dundee v Kilmarnock Ex-Killie player Gary Harkins scored a double against his former club during his previous […]

FOOTBALL LEAGUE: PADDY POWER’S PREVIEW

Posted on: 07 Aug 2014

I’VE just about sorted out my antepost picks and will put them on the site on Friday night or Saturday morning. The Football League kicks off on Friday with a potential Championship cracker between Blackburn and Cardiff and here the thoughts on the English lower league anteposts and top scorers from Paddy Power. They say: Starting with the Championship this […]

ANTEPOST BETTING: ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND

Posted on: 05 Aug 2014

TUESDAY was a pretty exciting day – the Racing Post’s antepost pullout hit the shops and I’ve spent hours pouring over the stats, transfer ins and outs and team verdicts. I don’t use it for the tips – just the info – and I already had an idea about who I was picking to win the leagues in England and […]

AUGUST 2: SCOTTISH LEAGUE CUP PREVIEW

Posted on: 02 Aug 2014

THE Scottish league season is a week away and today the countdown starts in earnest with the first round of the League Cup. Challenge Cup and League Cup openers have to be treated with caution with teams still warming up for the big kick-off but I fancy the two Premiership sides involved – Dundee and Hamilton – to put down […]

GOLF: WGC BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL TIPS

Posted on: 31 Jul 2014

THIS week’s WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club, Ohio has a lot of the top players taking part in a build-up to the USPGA. It’s going to be tough to pick a winner but here goes. My main pick is Rickie Fowler. With T2nd in the US Open and The Open and a T8th at Royal Aberdeen he is […]

PUNTER WINS £2k ON LOSING BET

Posted on: 26 Jul 2014

MY Daily Record column in Saturday’s paper features a story about Scots firm McBookie losing a fight with IBAS and being forced to pay out more than £2000 on a losing bet. I side with punters in most battles with the bookies but reckon IBAS have got it wrong with this one. Have a read at the story and let’s […]

JULY 26: PETROFAC CHALLENGE CUP PREVIEW

Posted on: 26 Jul 2014

AFTER the excitement of the World Cup and the European qualifiers we welcome the Petrofac Training Cup. It’s not quite as palatable as the Ramsden’s Cup but the aim is the same as Scotland’s lower-league clubs eye a chance of silverware. Rangers’ inclusion in the last couple of years has raised the profile of the tournament and they’re now joined […]

JULY 26: COMMONWEALTH GAMES AND OTHER SPORT TIPS

Posted on: 25 Jul 2014

THE Senior Open tips are going well with Ace Venturer’s two picks – Bernhard Langer and Colin Montgomerie sitting first and joint second at halfway. My only tip was Langer and the German looks unstoppable after storming into a seven-shot lead in Wales. Fair play to Monty for shooting a 66 on a score he says doesn’t suit his game. […]

GOLF: CANADIAN OPEN/SENIOR OPEN TIPS

Posted on: 24 Jul 2014

THE PGA Tour returns to North America this week at the oldest golf club on the continent, the Royal Montreal Golf Club, for the RBS Canadian Open. Fourth at The Open last week, Jim Furyk is my pick for this one. The two-time champion has had nine top-20 finishes in his last 10 starts. He is ninth on driving accuracy […]

GOLF: THE OPEN BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 15 Jul 2014

I WAS hoping Justin Rose wouldn’t win at Aberdeen as he was going to be my tip for The Open this week. I know Phil Mickelson won the Scottish then the Open last year but can Rose do the same? He triumphed in the the Quicken Loans National two weeks ago and with the Scottish under his belt he will […]

JULY 15: KR REYKJAVIC v CELTIC TIPS

Posted on: 14 Jul 2014

CELTIC fans will warm to Ronny Deila if he can melt the Icemen on Tuesday night. The new boss hopes to mark his competitive debut with a Champions League victory away to KR Reykjavik but don’t expect fireworks. Celtic prepared by winning two and drawing two friendlies in Austria but won’t be anything near full speed. Deila’s made the point […]

JULY 13: WORLD CUP FINAL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 12 Jul 2014

IT’S been a marathon rather than a sprint but overall punters have fleeced the bookies even if it’s been with the help of moneyback offers. Bet365 alone handed back £10 million after 10 0-0 draws and that stat is amazing when you consider the goal-laden start to the tournament. Germany and Argentina have been involved in 0-0 draws after 90 […]

JULY 12: BRAZIL v HOLLAND BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 11 Jul 2014

I WOULDN’T normally back a side who’d just suffered a 7-1 bruising – and Germany admitted taking it easy in the second half – but I reckon Brazil will restore a bit of pride in Saturday night’s third-place play-off against Holland. It’s the game no one wants but Dutch boss Louis van Gaal has been the most vocal about this […]
