NOTE: Motherwell game off – alternative Super Single St Johnstone, 2pts at 6-4 MY top tips will be published nearer midnight but I’ve decided to post the Super Single early because I’ve seen the price dropping. As has been hinted several times throughout the week my Saturday selection is Motherwell at home to Inverness in the Scottish Premiership. And remember […]

LAST Saturday’s Top Treble won at 11-2 thanks to Man Utd, Luton and Albion Rovers and I was tempted to throw in Luton again. I expect them to come out on top at Lincoln at just under evens but I wonder how a hectic schedule affects sides such as Luton who struggled to keep Barnet at bay on New Year’s […]

IT’S been a busy time for William Hill’s Owen Scott with little time between games. However, he’s managed to dig out some vital stats from this weekend’s games. All prices William Hill. Motherwell v Inverness Motherwell have won their last five matches and during that time kept a clean sheet in the matches at Fir Park. Motherwell to Win to […]

HAPPY New Year to one and all and thanks for all the complimentary comments put up about the site in the last couple of days. The quality of the tips is what counts most but in 2014 changes will be made as we try to cope with the huge increases in traffic. I’ve just seen December’s figures and they are […]

THERE’S no rest for the wicked and I’ll spare a thought for Owen Scott as he serves the punters in his William Hill shop on New Year’s Day. Meanwhile, the Scottish odds compiler has been hard at work pinpointing the stats that matter ahead of Wednesday’s and Thursday’s SPFL matches. William Hill prices. Celtic v Partick Th Both sides have […]

THE big live game on New Year’s Day sees Man Utd host Spurs as Davie Moyes’s side try to claw their way back in to the Barclay’s Premier League title race. United have six in a row and as long as Wayne Rooney returns from injury I’ll be on them to beat Tin Sherwood’s men at Old Trafford in a […]

IT was disappointing to finish 2013 with a losing Super Single – but all year there were more winners than losers and that’s what is important. Beating the bookies is a long-term project not a one-night stand so if one bet goes down take it on the chin, carry on with your staking plan and don’t chase losses. I know […]

IT’S a one-horse title race in the Premiership and League One – but at least in the top flight second spot is up for grabs. Take your pick between Motherwell, Aberdeen, Inverness and Dundee United for the side that finishes closest to Celtic. In League One Rangers will be first and Dunfermline second as it lies ahead of tonight’s live […]

THERE’S no doubt about the biggest game of the day as title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool clash head on at Stamford Bridge (4pm). Jose Mourinho turned his side into boring Chelsea to draw 0-0 at Arsenal and on Boxing Day they edged past Swansea 1-0 although should have scored more. Liverpool don’t do boring – how could you with Luis […]

I NEVER thought I’d back Motherwell again after they crashed out of the Scottish Cup to Albion Rovers a couple of weeks ago. The Fir Park side were on their knees and boss Stuart McCall admitted it was the worst result of his career. But after three wins on the bounce it’s time to bet on Well. Games are coming […]

IT’S been a busy spell for clubs and there’s been no rest for William Hill’s Owen Scott as he searches out the vital stats form Sunday’s Premiership card. Here are his pointers on the big Scottish games (William Hill prices) – and look out for McBookie.com’s Jim Goodwin specials at the end of the article. Inverness v Celtic Both teams […]

LOOKS like my Swansea Super Single tip has split opinions but I’m quietly confident the Welsh side will win at Aston Villa. Villa look a side really lacking spark and the man who can give it to them, Christian Benteke, is missing – as is influential defender Ron Vlaar. Paul Lambert’s men would need to improve massively from the home […]

IT wasn’t quite the Boxing Day bonanza punters expected with Everton and Spurs the main cuplrits, closely followed by Dundee United and Derby. Those four sides would have featured on the majority of accas whether I tipped them or not. I’m focusing on Saturday’s card so there won’t be any Friday tips from me. There is one Belgian game featuring […]

LOOKING at today’s Scottish Premiership card and there could be five aways – for Kilmarnock, Inverness, Hibs, Celtic and Dundee Utd. I don’t think many will put all five in a line but you have to strongly fancy Killie, Dundee Utd and Celtic while Inverness should beat Partick Thistle and Hibs can repeat their Scottish Cup win with three points […]

BOOKIES will suffer a Boxing Day bashing if all the English big guns do the business. Apart from the late Man City v Liverpool cracker all the top-six contenders are priced up short. An accumulator on Everton, Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd and Spurs pays an inviting 12-1 at Ladbrokes – but doesn’t one always let us down? On paper […]
Posted on: 24 Dec 2013
THERE’S a full English card on Thursday as well as Scottish Premiership fixtures so let’s hope we can give bookies a real stuffing. I’ve been putting together a Super Singles shortlist over the past few weeks and it helps when fans in particular make a relevant comment about their own team – for or against. Biggest game of the day […]

THERE are no games I’ll be looking at over the next few days so I’ll take the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Christmas. Anyone looking at some of the obscure markets is welcome to post any tips here but I’ll be saving my money for Boxing Day. Arsenal v Chelsea was a Christmas cracker turned turkey and really we […]

OWEN SCOTT picked out some good stats that pointed us in the right direction at the weekend. He’s taken time out in preparing for Christmas to post some interesting info about Thursday SPFL matches. All prices from William Hill. St Johnstone v Celtic Charlie Mulgrew has scored in three of the last five games against St Johnstone. Mulgrew to score […]

ARSENE WENGER meets his nemesis tonight (8pm) but that won’t stop me backing Arsenal to beat Chelsea in what could be a pre-Christmas cracker. The Frenchman has faced Jose Mourinho nine times – and never won (five defeats, four draws). A 2-0 Capital One Cup defeat back in October continued the hoodoo but the Blues put out a stronger side […]
Posted on: 23 Dec 2013
I WASN’T impressed by a best price of 2-1 for Luis Suarez to score first for Liverpool at Cardiff – but ended up taking it. Let’s be honest, 2-1 is a rubbish price for a first score but bookies are running as scared as Roy Hodgson of the hitman who has netted 10 goals in his last four games. At […]

WE made a few quid on Bayern Munich’s semi-final win against Evergrande and the Germans should be backed against Raja Casablanca in a game to decide the champions of the world tonight (7.30pm). The Moroccans are surprise finalists having defeated Brazilians Atletico Mineiro and will be well supported in their home country. They played well against Auckland and defended superbly […]

THERE could be goals galore at lunchtime with Celtic v Hearts and Liverpool v Cardiff on our TV screens. I’ll miss most of both to take in Clydebank v Auchinleck but before I go I’ll betting on goals at Celtic Park and Anfield. Celtic -2 is on my Top Treble and I can’t see the Hoops winning by less than […]
Posted on: 19 Dec 2013
THERE’S already been talk on the site about Celtic and Dundee Utd and both are sure to be backed on the goals markets this weekend. Celtic face a Hearts side they beat 7-0 away a couple of weeks ago and who have masses of problems with Gary Locke saying they might have only 10 fit players. Remember this a lunchtime […]

Club World Cup semi-final, 7.30pm, Agadir BAYERN MUNICH launch their bid for the Club World Cup title tonight with what should be a comfortable win against Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande. Pep Guardiola has won the tournament twice with Barcelona and wants his men to treat this semi-final in Agadir, Morocco seriously. I have my doubts about betting on this tournament […]
Posted on: 16 Dec 2013
IT’S another big night at the Ally Pally and possibly the biggest game is the one between Ronnie Baxter and Ricky Evans. Baxter is the bookies favourite but I’ve seen a few people tipping up Evans to win and 3-2 pays 5-1 with tournament sponsors Ladbrokes. Just to win Evans is 5-4. There is a rare battle between the Huybrechts […]
