OWEN SCOTT’S been busy again digging out stats for this weekend’s SPFL matches, starting with Hibs v Dundee United on Friday night. This will maybe explain why he’s not featuring high up on the naps table as he did last week. All price from William Hill. Remember these are stats and not tips. Hibs v Dundee Utd (Friday) Both sides […]

GLASGOW’S new Hydro hosts the Premier League darts tonight – and the 11,000 sell-out crowd should make enough noise for me to hear them along the road at the Daily Record. Top Treble sponsors Betway are now tournament backers but instead of soaking up the atmosphere I’ll be stuck in the office – but that’s life. Good news is the […]

TEAM news is vital when betting on tonight’s Europa League matches. I’ve gathered some info and anyone who has pointers about other ties should post here. So let’s start with Swansea and Spurs.Swansea coach Garry Monk will be without injured midfielder Jonjo Shelvey at Napoli. He joins Michu on the sidelines with the Spanish forward recovering from ankle surgery. Provisional […]

I MADE it back-to-back wins last week thanks to Jason Day in the Accenture Matchplay. Day was a 20-1 2pt ew tip and followed on from Thomas Aiken winning the Africa Open at 12-1. Can I make it three in a row? Don’t bank on it but I’ll give it a go and hopefully earn a pay rise from Mr […]

CELTIC aren’t playing until Tuesday night but it’s time for the fans of hoops to get excited. I was up to an ungodly hour last night watching Jason Day win in Arizona but I’ll be in dreamland when most of the basketball games tip off (is that right?). Anyway De Andre and his growing band of US followers have been […]

JASON DAY made it back-to-back winners for our golf tipster Ace Venturer. He tipped the Aussie at 20-1 to win the Aceenture Matchplay and Day came through after a nailbiting five-hole play-off against Victor Dubuisson. Last week Ace tipped Thomas Aiken to win the Africa Open at 11-1 and he’s on a run of three tournament winners and several places […]

I WAS feeling bad about Spurs’ defeat against Norwich – until I read about these two guys. Two betting shop customers, one from Glasgow, the other from Lye, West Midlands, each missed out on a £372,000 payout for a £1 bet on Coral’s Football Jackpot thanks to Spurs’ failure. Both customers had correctly predicted the outcome of the first 14 […]

TWO aways tempt in the Premier League on Sunday while Liverpool should smash Swansea at Anfield. Spurs boss Tim Sherwood showed what the trip to Norwich means to him when he played a weakened side in the Europa League at Dnipro last week. On the evidence of Spurs’ previous away match, a thumping 4-0 win at Newcastle, the points should […]

OKAY, so the pressure’s paid off. I accept we need a US and other sports thread and will put one up as often I can. Tonight De Andre and his mob are interested in the hoops – but raaljaca needn’t worry as Leigh Griffiths and co won’t be on court. Seemingly there are some big basketball games tonight so this […]

OWEN SCOTT’S taken some time off trying to win the racing naps contest and put up golf winners and looked out some stats for this weekend’s SPFL games. They may or may not help when making your final choices and remember the match at Tynecastle kicks off at 12.45pm. All prices William Hill and on the end is the latest […]

AFTER last night’s win for Wales over France there are matches today featuring Italy v Scotland (1.30pm) and England v Ireland (4pm). Despite three tactical changes to the Scottish team by coach Scott Johnson Italy are 4-7 favourites with Paddy Power to have a home win. For punters looking to back Scotland (and maybe I’m the only one), Paddy Power […]

LAST night’s Top Treble came up 7-2 and I’m putting up another 7-2 chance on Saturday. Hamilton, Monaco and over 2.5 goals at Dundee Utd did the business and made up for a poor show by Schalke who beat the Super Single with a 0-0 draw at home to Mainz. Last Saturday’s treble also came in at 9-2 thanks to […]

A SINGLE winner of Friday’s totescoop6 could potentially pocket more than £125,000 after both funds rolled over at Dundalk last week. Punters will need to find the winners of six races split between Dundalk and Wolverhampton if they are to get their hands on the guaranteed £25,000 win pot. The bonus prize, which is up for grabs for any punter […]

FRASER FORSTER is 1-9 with McBookie to beat Bobby Clark’s clean-sheet record today and 11-2 at William Hill not to make it. After keeping Premiership strikers out for 984 minutes the Celtic No.1 only has to last another 31 minutes to beat Clark’s mark. He is 8-13 to keep another clean sheet and with Celtic on such a great run […]

IT was a pretty good weekend with one winner, a second and a fifth from tournaments in the States and South Africa. My best bet was Thomas Aiken who won the Africa Open. I advised him at 11-1 and suggested a 2.5pts ew stake. I thought I was on for 131-1 double when Dustin Johnson led the Northern Trust Open […]

GREAT GRANNY Geraldine Hughes, who pocketed £154,000 on the Scoop6 last weekend, was unsuccessful in her bid to land a further £702,010. Hughes, 67, opted for Johnb’s tip Merry King in the big race but AP McCoy’s mount was soon on the back foot after being interfered with by a faller and was pulled up five fences from home. This […]

MANCHESTER CITY are 1-1 favourites for the FA Cup after landing a quarter-final draw with Wigan. In a repeat of last year’s final former City star Uwe Rosler’s side are 16-1 with Ladbrokes to qualify. Arsenal’s odds have been cut into 5-2 while Everton are next in the betting at 5-1. City’s hopes of completing the quad have been slashed […]

ANYONE who watched Liverpool blast four past Arsenal in the opening 20 minutes of last week’s Premier League encounter will really fancy them to repeat their success in the FA Cup on Sunday. It was four going on eight as the Gunners fell apart and in the end they were flattered by a 5-1 defeat. A week on and they […]

ABERDEEN have enjoyed two wonderful weeks of cup action, beating St Johnstone and Celtic in big ties, and resume the fight for second in the Premiership just one point clear of Motherwell. The Dons head for Paisley at lunchtime on Saturday and should beat a St Mirren side who have lost their last three and crashed out of the Cup […]

TEAM news is key when it comes to FA Cup ties but more important is a manager’s attitude to the tournament. It’s not always possible for me as a tipster but I’d advise seeing starting line-ups before having a bet. Anyway here’s some team news that may or may not help. Cardiff v Wigan Cardiff duo Kenwyne Jones and Fabio […]

A great granny from Merseyside, who won last Saturday’s Scoop6, will bid to add a further £702,010 to her haul in Saturday’s bonus race. Geraldine Hughes, 67 from Hoylake, picked up £154,782 using the age-old technique of nice names to find her six winners including 33-1 outsider Splash Of Ginge in the big race of the day at Newbury. The […]

TWO top-five finishes last week was not what I was hoping for. Thomas Aitken threw away the lead in the final round in Joburg when he stumbled to six bogeys but Dustin Johnston did us a favour in the AT&T. This week we start with a look at the Northern Trust Open at the Riviera Country Club. For this par-71 […]

OWEN COYLE had a pop at bookies last week when Rangers were second favourites to win the William Hill Scottish Cup. I wonder what he’d say now McBookie have installed the League One side as trophy favourites following Sunday’s last-eight draw. McBookie make Rangers 11-4 ahead of 3-1 Aberdeen while William Hill rate the Dons 3-1 in front of 4-1 […]

THE second round of Six Nations action kicks off this weekend and a win in Dublin for Wales will put them firmly in control of the tournament. The Welsh and French are joint 2-1 favourites to win the Six Nations after first-round victories and despite being slight underdogs in Dublin it’s looking increasingly likely Wales will win a unprecedented third […]

THERE are a few short-priced favourites out there this weekend and the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Celtic, Rangers and Man Utd will feature heavily on accumulators. I shy away from teams at such low odds but was tempted to throw in a Scottish Cup treble of Hibs v Raith, St Johnstone at Forfar and Inverness at Stranraer. Picking a […]
