THE combined pools of this weekend’s Scoop6 are set to crack the £4million barrier and it’s 4-6 the bet will be won according to Betfred – 5-4 no. Saturday’s line-up features 94 runners across six competitive handicaps with the shortest-priced jolly likely to be Gabrial’s Kaka in the fourth leg. A whopping £1,585,098 – the sixth highest in the bet’s […]

IT was one defeat too many for David Moyes last week and now Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes will be out to show him how it’s done. On Saturday night we’ll find out if Moyes had lost the dressing room – or whether his stars were just not good enough. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle but there […]

IT’S a big weekend in the Scottish Premiership, especially in the bottom half, with three massive games as five sides fight to avoid second bottom spot. Just three points separate Hibs in seventh from Ross County in 11th and the Easter Road side’s position could be even more precarious by kick-off time at Tynecastle on Sunday. Here are some stats […]

JOSE MOURINHO has many qualities – boring the pants of supporters is one. The Chelsea boss will no doubt be happy to have held Atletico 0-0 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final but games like that would get football banned. I’ll be watching Neilston v Clydebank tonight and I know it will be 100 times more enjoyable. […]

LEE WESTWOOD was my 4pt tip to win the Malaysian Open last week so that was a tidy profit at 10-1. It was good see the English ace him back to some kind of form and return me to the winning trail. After his Masters display he looked steady and said at the time I will put him on my […]

IT’S all about Chelsea tonight as Jose Mourinho tries to save what’s turning into a shocker of a season. The title’s gone, both cups have slipped away and all that’s left is the Champions League. And the Blues are underdogs as they take on La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid in tonight’s semi-final first leg. Atletico have been fantastic as they […]

Carrow Road, Sunday, 12pm IF Sunderland can win at Chelsea anything can happen in football – maybe Liverpool will be crowned champions after an absence of 24 years. Last week I tentatively tipped Liverpool to beat Man City and said it would be the day we discovered if Brendan Rodgers’s side could all the way. I was right about the […]

I’M going for three in a row after a 3-1 success was followed by last week’s 9-2 winner thanks to Dundee, Derby and Stoke. We have a shorter and trickier card to consider on Saturday and I’ve decided to play it simple by backing all three Scottish Championship title contenders – Dundee, Hamilton and Falkirk. Dee dropped five points to […]

I’M a bit down after The Masters. Not so much that Bubba won it, he was a worthy champion, but the fact Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia didn’t even make the cut! Now we move on to the RBC Heritage this week with a few top finishers from the Masters taking part – Jordan Spieth, Matt Kuchar and Jim Furyk […]

AT Anfield today we may find out if Liverpool can win the Premier League. If Brendan Rodgers’s side beat Man City in their biggest test of the season they’ll be installed as hot favourites to end 24 years of agony. It’s been 25 years of pain for everyone associated with the Hillsborough disaster and of course the anniversary will be […]

ON the evidence of Rangers’ extra-time defeat to Raith Rovers last week they are rank rotten and have no chance of beating Dundee United to reach the Scottish Cup Final. It was a dismal display and immediately after the game I advised punters to get on United at a biggest 8-5 with bet365 – they are now 1-1. McBookie started […]

BOOKIES are facing a seven-figure payout if Dundee Utd can beat Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday. There has been a nationwide gamble on Jackie McNamara’s men following the Glasgow club’s defeat to Raith last week. McBookie.com were originally offering 7-5 but that has been backed into evens. I advised United at as big as 8-5 after their Ramsdens Cup Final […]

LAST week’s Top Treble came up at 3-1 and it would nice to repeat the success after a decent week that’s brought up several multiples. I quite like the look of this weekend’s coupon and a couple of trebles that tempted me were a Premier League one with Crystal Palace, Stoke and Everton and a Scottish Championship one of Dundee, […]

A SINGLE winner of this weekend’s totescoop6 could become a multi-millionaire with the combined pools set to crash through the £2m barrier. Three flat races from Newbury and three Ayr jumps contests make up the six legs of tomorrow’s bet for which the win fund currently stands at £695,743. The bonus pot, which will be up for grabs next weekend […]

IT’S time for the first Major of the year. Hope your wallets are full and you’ve got plenty to put on your favourites. My selections are all guys I’ve talked about before – Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Sergioa Garcia, Hunter Mahan and Adam Scott. First we have Johnson. Let’s forget his first round of 80 last week and look at […]

Sunday, Easter Road, 4.05pm, live on BBC Alba RANGERS go hunting for their second silverware of the season tomorrow – and bookies make them hot favourites to do so. The Ibrox men face a Raith Rovers side a league above them but that doesn’t wash with the layers. Bookies are running scared of a team unbeaten in League One and […]

WAYNE ROONEY’S out for Man United, Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke is of course out for the season but who else is missing this weekend? Here’s team news from some games in England and Scotland that might help you make your picks. Aston Villa (12) v Fulham (20) Paul Lambert faces a striker crisis with Christian Benteke expected to be sidelined […]

THE totescoop6 pools are forecast to hit £1.8million on Grand National day after the bet went down at Kempton last weekend. The win pot is expected to hit £650,000 with the bonus fund climbing to around £1.15m in total. The Grand National card inevitably forms the backbone of the Scoop6, with four races from Aintree and the remaining two coming […]

I CONTINUE to come up with winning Top Trebles during the week but the last two Saturday ones have flopped. So let’s hope it’s third-time lucky and I’m kicking off with a Wigan side who I tipped for promotion at the start of the season and who are now looking the most likely of play-off winners. Uwe Rosler’s done a […]

OWEN SCOTT’S been burning the midnight oil to come up with some stats and facts for this weekend SPFL matches. He starts with a look at Friday’s Highland derby and finishes with Sunday’s intriguing Ramsdens Cup Final between Rangers and Raith Rovers. These are not tips remember. William Hill prices. Ross County v Inverness (Fri) Despite recent form, both sides […]

IT seems that over the last five or six tournaments past form has gone out the window with rookies, players way down the rankings and first time winners all doing the business. Will this run continue this week – I’m not so sure. What with most of the top guys playing this I can’t see the winner coming from way […]

BOOKIES are paying out on Scotland to reach the Euro 2016 finals – six months before the start of the qualifying campaign. McBookie have cut their losses following a series of four-figure bets from the Manchester area on Gordon Strachan’s men who are in Group D along with the likes of Germany, Poland and Republic of Ireland. Big money has […]

UP to £1.75m could be up for grabs on this weekend’s totescoop6 after last Saturday’s bet was not won at Lingfield. The win fund has now reached £335,727 after rolling over for three consecutive weeks, while there is £1,022,448 in the bonus fund, which is the largest pool since December 3, 2011. To mark the opening day of the flat […]

I’VE had some nice trebles up during the week so let’s hope I can land lucky on Saturday. I’m keeping it pretty simple with three top-flight teams – starting with Chelsea at Crystal Palace. Jose Mourinho’s men still lead the title charge and despite a blip at Aston Villa should be fine at Selhurst Park. Chelsea blew away Arsenal 6-0 […]

HE gave us a top-five finish but what was Adam Scott playing at in the final round last week. Ten under after the first 18 holes he could only manage a 76 in the last. I think even I could have held on to the lead he had (well maybe not). The PGA Tour moves over to Texas this week […]
