CORAL have received a flood of bets for Louis van Gaal becoming next Manchester United manager after reports suggest David Moyes will be sacked before the weekend. The Holland boss, who steps down after the World Cup finals, is 5-1 joint favourite along with Dortmund’s Jurgen Klopp to be the new man in charge at Old Trafford. Van Gaal seems […]

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 […]

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 […]
