EVERY time Benfica reach a European final the line about them being cursed is rolled out. Seven times the curse has held up but at the eighth attempt I fancy the Portuguese side to beat it. Benfica return to Turin to face Sevilla having knocked out Juventus in the Turin city last month. Bookies see a close game – and […]

LUKE SHAW is 6-1 with Ladbrokes to make his World Cup debut by starting against Italy. Shaw, who started the season as an 8-1 shot to make it to Brazil ousted one-time 1-33 squad chance Ashley Cole for the final left-back role. Raheem Sterling is odds-on at 8-13 to start the first match and 6-4 to score in the tournament […]

MANCHESTER CITY are the favourites to retain their Premier League crown next season according to Ladbrokes. City have been installed at 7-4 to follow on from one of the most exhilarating title races in recent times which saw three teams assume the role of odds-on favourites in the run-in. Liverpool, who were as short as 1-7 to become champions before […]

LIVERPOOL are 8-1 with Ladbrokes to top the Premier League table at any point during the last game of the season but I can’t see it. The title race looks all but over with Manchester City long odds-on at 1-50, shorter odds are offered about Liverpool coming in with a sniff of glory at some point in the afternoon and […]

FOR weeks I’d been tipping Hibs to finish second bottom of the Premiership and they finally fell through a potential trapdoor by losing at home to Kilmarnock. Terry Butcher’s strugglers now face a two-legged play-off with Falkirk or Hamilton and their confidence is so low you have to fancy the Championship side at this moment. Hibs are bookies favourites to […]

IT’S a much reduced card on Saturday and my enhanced top treble, which is featured in the Daily Record every week, includes two Sunday games. This is mainly because I focus my Record column on Scottish and English matches but will put some European tips in the morning after I’ve had a chance to study the matches. My treble starts […]

THE 29-runner totepool Victoria Cup will be the climax of this weekend’s monumental totescoop6 where a single winner could walk away with £7.5m. In order to reach the finale, Scoop6 punters will have to plot a path through the preceding five legs which include races from Ascot, Haydock, Lingfield and Nottingham. The combined Scoop6 pools stand at an all-time high, […]

THIS week we move on to the AT&T Players Championship at Sawgrass with 29 of the FedEx top 30 in the field including eight former winners so it’s certainly a great field. First of all I’m going for one of the former winners, Sergio Garcia. He won in 2008 and is the second highest earner at the event behind Tiger […]

BIG game tonight is the Italian Cup Final between Fiorentina and Napoli in Rome’s Olympic Stadium. Both league fixtures this season have been won by the away side by one goal so the sides are evenly matched and picking a winner isn’t easy. Fiorentina have have just about won the race against Napoli for the third Champions League spot so […]

IT’S been three out of four Saturday trebles so the season is ending well. But the card looks tougher on Saturday and while I said earlier the best bet would be to back sides with something to play for I’ve picked two who can relax this weekend. My thinking behind backing Bolton and Peterborough will be explained but team news […]

THE opening classic of the flat season, the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, has been selected as the final leg of this weekend’s monster £5million totescoop6. Kingman heads the betting at 13-8 with Betfred and looks a potential banker for punters wishing to cover additional runners earlier in the afternoon. Kingman is one of Johnb’s tips which are on the […]

IT’S another big weekend in the Scottish Premiership as five sides fight to avoid the drop while Aberdeen remain in pole position to finish second behind Celtic. William Hill’s Owen Scott has taken a look at the games and here some specials based on stats but remember these are no tips. Celtic v Aberdeen Aberdeen are looking for their third […]

ONE Europa League tie is finely balanced but the other is heavily weighted with the away side. The more interesting semi-final sees Juventus entertain Benfica trailing 2-1 from the first leg. It’s a big match for the Serie A leaders with the final being played in their Turin ground. Benfica’s first-leg success wasn’t a big surprise because they are so […]

IT looks like the best way to pick a winner on the PGA Tour is to stick a pin in the field! Noh Seung-yul became the fifth player under 26 to win a tournament in the past two months and none of them were what you could call well-known faces. However, this week the Wells Fargo Championship welcomes some notable […]

IT’S not easy to like Jose Mourinho’s tactics but you need to grudgingly respect the way he digs out results. Chelsea were up against it in Madrid last week but managed a 0-0 draw then put up the shutters to beat Liverpool 2-0 to smash the Premier League title race wide open. On both occasions the Portuguese boss was slated […]

IT was tough to call Real Madrid v Bayern Munich last week and no easier to pick a winner tonight. Bayern lost 1-0 at the Bernabeu despite boasting 70 per cent possession and not bagging an away goal could be crucial. Real have Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale fully fit and with the dazzling duo in the side you have […]

SCOTTISH punters are the bravest in mainland Britain when it comes to placing their bets according to a survey commissioned by Ladbrokes. The bookies quizzed 140,000 football fans all over the UK and results revealed a huge 38% of Scots, more than anywhere else in the country, backed themselves as the believer, a character who loves to support an underdog […]

IT was March 30, 2014 and the date could have been etched into the memory of every Hibs fans as the day their side relegated Hearts. The Jambos of course avoided that painful scenario by winning 2-0 and now the boot’s on the other Edinburgh foot. Hearts won’t relegate their city rivals with victory at Easter Road but they will […]

I DON’T think I’ve ever talked about a game for so many days – and not it’s here (Sunday, 2.05pm) Punters have been backing Liverpool to beat Chelsea since Jose Mourinho insisted he wanted to field a weakened team at Anfield ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid. The Reds were 11-10 then 1-1 then 9-10 […]

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 […]
Posted on: 22 Apr 2014
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 […]
