HERE’S the team news for the weekend’s SPFL matches with some crucial points Adam Rooney’s signing for Aberdeen and Ryan Stevenson’s suspension for Hearts. I strongly fancy Ross County to beat the Jambos but they are a short price and I’ll be on Celtic tomorrow. The other games are close calls but I have a sneaky feeeling for Aberdeen who […]

TEAM news is vital this weekend but in FA Cup ties it’s also important to see what teams are going to be at full strength. This gives you some idea about who’s on and who’s out but keep an eye on managers’ comments to see how they are approaching games. Birmingham v Swansea Recent loan signing Albert Rusnak is set […]

SCUNTHORPE let me down on the treble last weekend but I’m giving them another chance. It’s a tricky card with all the FA Cup ties and of course I’m leaving out the extremely short-priced sides such as Man City, Liverpool and Everton and going for value. I’ve had more success with trebles than Super Singles recently with six up in […]

AFTER cashing out just short at his first attempt and failing early with his second Al is having another go over the weekend. You can follow his progress here and feel free to put up your own picks for a £10 to £1000 challenge. This has proved a popular feature and so it’s something we’ll look to do in the […]

WILLIAM HILL have reported a significant gamble on Roger Federer to beat Rafa Nadal in the semi-final of the Australian Open on Friday morning. As a result the Swiss star has been cut from 6-4 to 5-4 with Nadal the 8-13 favourite. When these two meet you are often in for a five-set thriller and it is 5-2 the semi-final […]

SUPER statician man Owen Scott has been studying the weekend SPFL card and he’s come up with some facts and figures that may influence you when having a bet. And please remember these are stats – not tips – from the William Hill man. Kilmarnock v Inverness Inverness have won both ties between the sides this season. Both sides scored […]

THANKS to everyone who took part in the survey over the weekend. It certainly stimulated debate and was a bit of an eye-opener for myself and Admin. We wanted to share some of the feedback we received. The vast majority of it was supportive and constructive however some of it was as predictable as it was downright depressing. On a […]

ALL the money is on Man Utd tonight but they are just 3-1 with Ladbrokes to endure a trophy-free season and finish outside of the European qualification spots. The bookies also make the side odds-on at 8-13 to fail to win a trophy as well as specifically missing out on the Champions League, with 10-1 the price that they salvage […]

AFTER the shock exit of tournament favourite Novak Djokovic, William Hill make Rafa Nadal their new 10-11 favourite to win the Aussie Open. Djokovic’s conqueror Stanislas Wawrinka is 11-2 second favourite to go all the way. He was a whopping 33-1 before. Britain’s sole survivor Andy Murray is 1-1 to beat Federer on Wednesday morning and 6-1 to win the […]

A STUPID ruling cost Rory McIlroy the win at the Abu Dhabi Championship last week and prevented me off to a great start to the season. However, we got a good place with Joost Luiten who didn’t seem to do much wrong while finishing sixth. This week I can’t see passed Sergio Garcia in the Qatar Masters (starts Wednesday, 3.35am). […]

A LOT of you were following Al’s £10 to £1000 challenge and after getting within reach of his prize his was hit with a sensible blow on the back of the head. Having reached £715.87 he decided to bank £500, keep a tenner for his next attempt and out the rest on over 0.5 first-half goals at Athletic Bilbao v […]

NO Rooney, no van Persie, no chance. Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration because you can never write off Man United but I really fancy Chelsea today. Jose Mourinho has never lost to Davie Moyes as a manager and the Blues were the better side when they drew 0-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the season. Chelsea don’t have a Rooney, […]

THE SAS are back and Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge should power Liverpool to victory against Aston Villa (5.30pm). Sturridge didn’t take long to net when he came off the bench on his comeback at Stoke last week and Suarez struck twice in a 5-3 win. Liverpool have won nine of their 10 Premier League games at Anfield with the […]

I’VE put St Johnstone on my Top Treble but they are no bigger than 4-11 with the likes of Ladbrokes and Betfred. However, one bet that stands out is the home team to win to nil at 6-5 with William Hill. Saints have beaten Hearts twice to nil this season and the new oddschecker app says four of the last […]

BRITAIN’S bookmakers are expecting a massive increase in football betting turnover tomorrow after the most punter-friendly football results in recent history cost the betting industry a reported £30million last weekend. Thousands of customers across the country won sizeable four-figure sums for stakes of less than £10, with 25 Coral betting shop customers winning sums of between £10,000 and £89,000. Coral […]

AFTER three days without a Super Single it’s back. The top tips will be up later but I’m posting my thoughts on the Super Single because it’s an early kick-off (12.15pm). As hinted at earlier in the week I’m going with Leicester at Leeds. Elland Road boss Brian McDermott looked a picture of misery last weekend as his side slumped […]

THERE were plenty of candidates for the Betway Enhanced Treble this weekend so hopefully I’ve gone for the right ones. Sides on my shortlist included Birmingham, Wigan, Leicester, Orient, Dunfermline and Stranraer but in the end I’ve gone for Middlesbrough, Scunthorpe and St Johnstone. So let’s start with Middlesbrough at home to Charlton after four wins in six under new […]

AS usual Owen Scott of William Hill has been digging out stats which may or may not influence how we bet on this weekend’s top SPFL games. All prices quoted are from William Hill and are relevant stats – not predictions. Aberdeen v Inverness Aberdeen are on a run of four straight victories. They won three of these matches without […]

ANOTHER year, another dollar. Let’s see if we can make some this season. First up is the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in the first of the “Desert Swing” tournaments with a stellar field which includes world No.3 Henrik Stenson, Phil Mickelson (4), Rory McIlroy (6) and Sergia Garcia (10). This is the first tournament of the season for most of […]

THE Australian Open is under way and bookies consider it’s a two-horse race between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal for the first Grand Slam title of the year. Djokovic has won the tournament in each of the last three years and is a best 8-11 at bet365 to make it four victories on the spin at the Rod Laver Arena […]

HERE’S the team news I’ve got for Sunday’s Premier League matches and Inverness v Dundee United in the SPFL. I’ll do this when I can because I know how useful it is but I can’t always manage. Newcastle (8) v Manchester City (2) Goalkeeper Tim Krul (shoulder) and midfielder Yohan Cabaye (Achilles) could both return to the Newcastle squad after […]

EUROPE’S biggest game of the weekend is Atletico Madrid v Barcelona (7pm) and hopefully there will be goals galore. The sides are locked at the top of La Liga with Real Madrid three points back. So it’s a night to have a punt, crack open a bottle of San Miguel and enjoy. Diego Costa has netted in all nine home […]

A PUNTER who was minutes away from winning a massive £187,922.10 for just £1 last weekend before his hopes were dashed by Wilfried Bony’s 90th-minute winner for Swansea against Manchester United proved there were no hard feelings when he came face to face with the striker this week. Kevin Wint, a 31-year-old factory worker from Newtoft, near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, […]

IT was one of the best nights ever for the racing boys with a succession of winners – and plenty of people bankign four-figure sums. So well done to everyone who posted winners and to those who backed them. I asked raaljaca to review the night’s efforts and here’s what he came up with: DeAndre lands a 3/3 treble winning […]
