MOTD was great last night – and what a goal that was from Wayne Rooney even if the keeper looked at fault. Hopefully El Clasico will round off a decent weekend of football by putting on a show in the Bernabeu tonight (8pm). I’m reluctant to write off any side boasting Lionel Messi in their ranks as he’s a footballing […]

BIGGEST game in England this weekend is at Stamford Bridge at lunchtime (12.30pm) and Arsene Wenger would love to celebrate his 1000th game in charge of the Gunners with a win. Jose Mourinho is protecting a 75-match unbeaten league record at Stamford Bridge and crucially as a coach Wenger has never got the better of his Portuguese rival. So will […]

THIS weekend’s combined totescoop6 pools are forecast to be worth a massive £1.3million after last Saturday’s bet rolled over at Uttoxeter. The win pool is anticipated to swell to more than £300,000 while the bonus fund, which has not been won since August 31, could hit the magic £1m mark. Saturday’s Scoop6 features racing from Kelso, Lingfield and Newbury, with […]

LAST season I’d never have considered backing Liverpool at odds on away from home – maybe not even at Anfield. But this term I don’t have a problem backing Brendan Rodgers’s side at a short price at Cardiff – not after the way they demolished Man United at Old Trafford last weekend. That was a super show with a 3-0 […]

SPURS as we all know by now have sent a weakened squad to Portugal for their Europa League return with Benfica. A 3-1 win at White Hart Lane didn’t flatter the Lisbon side who treat this tournament more seriously than most. They are always strong at home and looked massive at 3-4 with Ladbrokes when I first commented about them […]

VALSPAR was another high-scoring tournament last week but thankfully Luke Donald helped us out with a tied fourth. We’re still in Florida this week with the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and tournament favourite Tiger Woods has pulled out with a back injury. It’s a par-72 course and with conditions being almost perfect and temperatures in the 80s it […]

ANYONE who endured the League Cup Final on Sunday afternoon will be tuning into Scottish football’s latest live offering hoping for some better fare. They could of course be disappointed as Albion Rovers adopt the Inverness CT “spoilers” role and try to deny Rangers a place in the Scottish cup semi-finals. Ally McCoist’s men were slated after scrambling a 1-1 […]

THERE were 29 winning tickets of the totejackpot at the weekend after Knock Beauty won in the last leg at Navan. The final jackpot pool was £1,942,112 which led to a winning dividend of £47,548.20. The totejackpot had not been landed in full since Sandown on March 7 where there were 6.5 winning units which produced a dividend of £28,634.90. […]

THERE are two big games today and it’s possible away sides will come out top in both. Certainly Liverpool at Man United and Arsenal at Spurs were given plenty of encouragement to go and grab three vital points after Chelsea’s surprise defeat to Aston Villa. I don’t often agree with Robbie Savage but he’s right to suggest Liverpool should be […]

I’VE asked for naps recently on Italian, Irish and non-league football and in general more winners than losers are put up. Over the past couple of weeks one of the most popular tips has been over 2.5 goals. I’ve had some success with singles, trebles and last weekend’s fourfolds. Greg and Alex do mostly over 2.5 singles for The Dane’s […]

ABERDEEN are being backed heavily to win the League Cup Final and are now 5-6 from 11-10 with most firms. The Dons tackle Inverness at Celtic Park (2.30pm) and I expect them to lift their first trophy in 19 years. I know anything can happen in finals but I can’t see past Aberdeen who come into the game in great […]

A SINGLE winner of tomorrow’s totescoop6 could collect £1.25 million after both funds rolled over at Sandown last weekend. The win fund is expected to reach £250,000, while the bonus pot should hit the magic £1m mark. Saturday’s bet takes in four races from Uttoxeter’s Betfred Midland Grand National card, with the remaining two legs coming from Kempton. Totepool spokesman […]

WOLVES have been a mainstay of the tips in recent weeks and I see no reason not to include them on this weekend’s treble. After a club-record 10 wins in a row they are no bigger than 4-11 to beat Shrewsbury at home but that’s fine for an accumulator. However, for those wanting a better price take Wolves -1 as […]

BETFRED say bookies have edged ahead in the annual battle between punters and bookmakers at the Cheltenham Festival. The bookies came into day three on the back foot after a disastrous Wednesday but got a result in the opener when Taquin De Seuil turned over the heavily-supported Felix Yonger. Fingal Bay quickly got punters back on track in the Pertemps […]

LAST week wasn’t so good with wind and water blowing away the chances of quite a few players. With only three players managing an under-par score at the WGC-Cadillac we should be grateful for a top-five finish thanks to Dustin Johnston. The PGA Tour now moves on to Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course for the next step in the Florida Swing – […]

JOHNB’S one of those tipping Quevega to win the OLBG Mares Hurdle and if it wins by over five lengths Betfred will double the odds. Quevega is the red-hot 4-6 favourite having won the previous five renewals of the Mares’ Hurdle by an average of 6.8 lengths. She is bidding to become the first horse in Festival history to win […]

THE nap experiment continues after a mainly successful night betting on Irish football. St Pat’s -2 was the most popular suggestion and that came up easily as they beat Ballinamallard 5-0. I picked three of the best-backed tips and of the other two Bohemians won but Glentoran lost 2-1 to Glenavon at home despite scoring first. Most of the comments […]

ON Sunday I tried a nap experiment on Italian football but haven’t had a chance yet to look at the results. However, I like the idea of focusing on country or league each day and asking for experts in that field to contribute. I know a little about Irish football but not enough and with 12 matches north and south […]

NAPS are all the rage. Whether it’s racing, football or even basketball everyone wants to have a nap. If I ever reinvent myself as a tipster I’m going to be called Mr Rip van Winkel. Anyone to get to the point I’ve decided it’s time to now and again focus specifically on one league and see if we can profit […]

JOHNB’S been looking at Tuesday’s Champion Hurdle and here’s his thoughts on why Our Conor looks a great bet at 25-1. That of course is to win by four lengths or more. Our man John says: “I think everyone will know by now how much I fancy this horse. I have heard on here he beat nothing last year in […]

THE totescoop6 could create its next millionaire on Saturday as last weekend’s winning punter sets his sights on the £878,564 bonus fund. The anonymous bonus hunter, a man in his 60s, staked £2 in a Coral betting shop and collected £411,959 after being the only person to pick all six winners in last Saturday’s Scoop6. He will take his haul […]

BETFRED will be paying four places on each-way bets in the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle from 8am on Saturday. They will be the first bookie to commit to an extra place on the Cheltenham Festival opener and are also non-runner, no-bet on the race. The Paul Nicholls-trained Irving heads the betting at 9-4 with Betfred, ahead of Vautour at […]

IT’S tough when you scan a coupon and see five odds-on shots in the English leagues. It was the opposite last weekend when my biggest problem was whittling selections down to five. And I was super-confident about a 5-2 Top Treble of Leicester, Wolves and Orient. With home so hard to find I’m standing by joint League One leaders Wolves […]

BETFRED boss Fred Done is offering a £100,000 bonus to any Betfred shop, betfred.com or Betfred mobile customer who picks all six winners on Friday’s Scoop6. With a guaranteed win fund of £25,000 and more than £90,000 sitting in the bonus pool a single winner of the bet could potentially pocket more than £200,000. This week’s bet takes in four […]

FOR 16 holes last Sunday I thought I was on for three wins-in-a-row. Unfortunately Rory McIlroy had other ideas. I should be happy with three wins and two seconds in the past six weeks but must admit I am a bit disappointed he failed to finish it off. But at least we got an each-way. This week we can hopefully […]
