THIS weekend’s line has to start with Saturday’s live TV showdown between Newcastle and West Brom. In 11 league and cup games over the past five seasons both teams have scored in all of the meetings. Look at the results since 2008 – 2-1, 2-3, 1-1, 2-2, 4-2, 3-1, 3-3, 2-3, 1-3, 2-1 and 1-1. West Brom come into this […]

IT’S been another good week for the Super Singles with five correct out of seven since last Friday. Lyon were the latest side to bring home the bacon but there was a moan when I listed them on the site at 23-20 with Ladbrokes. That was the price available when I started writing my post but soon afterwards there was […]

I WAS in the Daily Record office this morning and one thing I did was check all this week’s Line of the Week and Unlucky Line of the Week entries. What surprised me was the number of entries that featured wins on the result and both teams to score market – and even more near missed. Now site regulars will […]

EVERY Wednesday I walk down the bookies, pick up some coupons and head for the local park. While the dug has a run I’m the idiot sitting at the picnic table in the freezing cold poring over the weekend’s fixtures. Without looking at form, stats or team news I like to come up with a shortlist of sides I may […]

THERE were some comments about the high price on offer on Ludogorets at home to PSV and the reason is they’re through. Eight teams have qualified which means there are 16 places up for grabs as we enter matchday five. I’ve nicked this from UEFA.com and it’s basically a comprehensive rundown of how the groups stand. In fact it’s a […]

WE were knocking at the door again last week but nobody wanted to let us in. What was Hennie Otto my 25-1 antepost tip – doing? He really Otto know better! Leading the South African Open by two with four holes to play he bogeyed 15 and double-bogeyed 16 for a four-shot swing so we had to settle for a […]

ROTHERHAM may have drawn 0-0 at home to Carlisle at the weekend – but they won’t get away with that scoreline tonight. They travel to Northampton to play Coventry where just about every match has been a goalfest. It’s now 42 goals in nine home matches for the Sky Blues with the latest being as stunning 5-1 defeat by Coventry. […]

FIRSTLY, I apologise for the heading and secondly thank everyone for the comments which have been posted throughout the night. The four draws finally came in although I haven’t been doing them much this year. I used to put four in Saturday’s Daily Record column but it’s such a long shot I stopped partly because of moans when they didn’t […]

IT’S been a hectic 10 days or so for international players and it’s always worth checking who has arrived back at their clubs in good shape. We have a full card to choose from again which is great and I’m kicking off with Dundee United at home to Partick Thistle in the Scottish Premiership. United have won two of their […]

OWEN SCOTT’S had plenty of time this week to look at the SPFL stats and here’s what the William Hill man has come up with. St Mirren v Hibs Hibs have only lost one match in the last eight meetings against St Mirren. Hibs draw no bet (1-1). Celtic v Aberdeen Charlie Mulgrew has scored more goals against Aberdeen for […]

CRISTIANO RONALDO’S odds to win the Ballon D’Or have been slashed by Coral from 2-1 to 1-2. The Real Madrid looks nailed on to collect the award for the second time after guiding Portugal to the World Cup finals with a superb hat-trick against Sweden. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who hit a double in his side’s 3-2 defeat in Stockholm, won’t agree […]

IF there’s one thing I’ve learned from last week it’s stick with your first pick. At least we had an each-way with Ian Poulter and Jamie Donaldson nearly did us a favour. I talked up Henrik Stenson but his wrist problems put me off. This week we turn our attention to the South African Open at the Glendower GC in […]

McBOOKIE.COM took an industry lead by paying out on Steven Thompson as first scorer in Sunday’s Scottish Premiership match between St Mirren and Ross County. And big boys William Hill, Ladbrokes and bet365 have also decided to settle on Thompson after looking into the matter – so I’ve win thousands of pouns in payout for relieved punters. Kenny McLean was […]

IT’S another night of high-tension football as four European sides bid to book their places at Brazil 2014. Greece and Ukraine look to have done enough although Romania and France won’t go down without a fight but the other two ties are in the balance. Portugal go to Sweden 1-0 up thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s late strike in Lisbon and […]

St Mirren Park, Sunday, 3pm I LIKE to consider recent form and head-to-heads when looking at matches – and you don’t get much more recent that this one. The sides met two weeks ago and while the games lasted just 53 minutes Saints were well on top. They led County 2-0 when the ref ruled the pitch was waterlogged and […]

IT’S a tough weekend so my advice would be to keep stakes low with no Premier League, Championship or Scottish Premiership games bar St Mirren v Ross County. My Top Treble will hopefully give you a run and rather than pick out the shortest of favourites I’ve gone for three sides who should provide real value. I’m starting with Sheffield […]

PICKING winners is a little tougher on Saturday with no English or Scottish top-flight games and no CHampionship matches in England. The focus will be on the lower leagues and I’ve posted an SPFL stats pack. Here are some vital facts picked out by oddschecker that may help you make you choices. Brentford v Crewe The Bees scored seven goals […]

OWEN SCOTT of William Hill has again been searching out some statistical pointers for this weekend’s SPFL matches. There’s is just one Premiership game, the rearranged clash between St Mirren and Ross County, and here’s what he’s come up with. All prices are with William Hill. St Mirren v Ross County St Mirren were 2-0 up thanks to goals from […]

WELL we got close last week with a third (Justin Rose) and fifth (Ian Poulter) after some great golf action, especially from shock winner Victor Dubuisson, so let’s see if we can hit the jackpot this week. A couple of months ago I thought Rose and Henrik Stenson would fight it out in Dubai but I’m not so sure now […]

THERE are two David v Goliath ties tonight as football giants Uruguay and Mexico attempt to take a giant leap towards the World Cup finals. Both have suffered poor disappointing qualifying campaigns but have a second chance with play-offs against minnows Jordan and New Zealand respectively. The Uruguay game is the one that interests most with the South Americans boasting […]

IT’S a big day in the English Premiership and Man United simply can’t afford to fall 11 points behind leaders Arsenal when they might at Old Trafford. A win for Davie Moyes’ men will close the gap to a respectable five so this really is a six-pointer so early in the season. Actually a draw, while suiting Arsenal more than […]

ALL Six Nations sides are in action this weekend with the pick of the ties being in Cardiff today s Wales host South Africa, with the home side as slight 13-10 underdogs at Paddy Power. The annual Autumn International Series, with the southern hemisphere sides coming up north, kicks off with the Springboks heading into the match as 8-13 favourites […]
