CRAWLEY were an enemy of the people last weekend but today they could be a punter’s best pal. Richie Barker’s side downed thousands of accumulators when they shocked Peterborough with a 2-0 away win. Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony slammed the Hoops for upsetting the mood in the dressing room with three bids last Saturday for striker Lee Tomlin. The Posh […]

GARETH BALE’S move to Real Madrid is now complete with the Welshman’s 2013-14 La Liga goal total set at 15.5. He’s also 9-2 with bet365 to outscore the great Lionel Messi in their first La Liga clash at the end of October. Bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth said: “Never has a move divided the office as much on the goals quote […]

ARSENAL are the 11-2 favourites to sign more players on transfer deadline-day than any other club according to Ladbrokes. As the bookies prepare for the busiest close to a transfer window in betting history they have priced up a number of special markets including “who will sign the most players” which also includes loan deals. Crystal Palace are the 6-1 […]

IT really is a Super Sunday in the Premier League and hopefully the games will live up their billing. After an unbelievably dull Saturday where goals were at a premium we have Liverpool v Man United and Arsenal v Spurs to look forward to. The games are tough to call, especially at this stage of the season, and remember how […]

Tannadice, Saturday, 12.45pm, live on Sky Sports 3 CELTIC should be buzzing for the lunchtime visit to Dundee United. It’s job done for Neil Lennon’s men who have battled through six Champions League qualifiers that have taken them from hell (Kazakhstan) and back. With glamour ties against Barcelona, AC Milan and Ajax to follow, the Hoops can now relax and […]

Saturday, Etihad Stadium, 12.45pm, live on BT Sport IF Man City are going to challenge for the title they’ll have to keep the Etihad the same fortress it was under Roberto Mancini. City have lost their favourite’s tag already after last weekend’s shock defeat at Cardiff – and there are hints Manuel Pellegrini’s teams struggle on the road. His Malaga […]

MY top treble starts with an Inverness side who are flying at the head of the SPFL. The only points dropped by Terry Butcher’s men were at Celtic last weekend after leading 2-0. At home they’ve played two, won two, scored five and conceded none. I’m expecting them to extend their 100 per cent home record when Hearts visit on […]

CELTIC probably felt they could have fielded Borat last week and still beat Shakhter. Neil Lennon’s men were given a rude awakening when they discovered that contrary to the madcap reporter Kazakhstan’s not that nice. Not when you’re chasing a £20million Champions League bounty and find stuffy minnows blocking your path. Bookies are sure Celtic will win tonight – but […]

I CHOSE to listen the Man Utd game and look at some site stats – and that was probably a good idea. The commentators talked me out of tuning into the highlights but it really was a game of few chances. I tipped the draw but hoped there would have been goals. Anyway listening to the low-key affair allowed me […]

LAST weekend we had to apologise to site regulars for problems accessing tips due to unprecedented levels of traffic. This Saturday there should be no repeat with the server being upgraded during the week. We can’t really complain about the continued rise in visitor numbers – and by the end of August we’ll have notched up around one million page […]

CARDIFF touched 25-1 with Ladbrokes during in-play betting against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. Malky Mackay’s team began the match as the 11-2 outsiders and after Edin Dzeko’s wonder goal the home side were quoted at 25-1 to pick up the points. Prior to kick-off Ladbrokes’ biggest bet for the Bluebirds was £180 with one punter really keeping the faith […]

Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 JOSE MOURINHO’S back – and on Monday he’s back at Old Trafford to face a side he loves beating more than any other. His battles with Sir Alex Ferguson in his first spell in charge of the Blues was legendary and contributed to the record 14 Premier League defeats the Reds have suffered […]

THERE is a rare occurrence happening in Scotland – and something only the English can dream of. That’s right – all six games are kicking off on a Saturday … and at 3pm. Who said traditionalism is dead. Inverness certainly know something about timing and when it’s the perfect moment to play Celtic – right after a Champions League defeat. […]

IT’S two out of three on the top trebles this season with Wigan letting us down last weekend. This week I’m starting with a Southampton side who really mean business. They started with a battling 1-0 win at West Brom and I was looking to back them at home to Sunderland even before they signed Italian international Pablo Osvaldo. Saints […]

ARSENAL were so bad on Saturday that Arsene Wenger has been forced to dust down the cheque book. New faces are inevitable now – and plenty of them – after the reality of a 3-1 home defeat by Aston Villa hit hard. No one will be on board in time for a Champions League qualifier against Fenerbahce and that’s a […]

LA LIGA kicked off on Saturday but we have to wait until tomorrow to be reintroduced to a couple of VIPS. Saturday tips didn’t come in but in the Daily Record I predicted first goals for Daniel Sturridge and Robin van Persie – so that helped cover some losses – and I also put up a first-scorers Lucky 15 featuring […]

IT’S been a great start to the season with Top Trebles coming up in the first two weeks. Betway.com enhanced the first to 11-2 and last week raised the odds on Watford, Orient and Borussia Dortmund to 15-4. Not bad for three sides who win 6-1, 3-0 and 4-0 respectively. Maintaining the 100 per cent record won’t be easy but […]

IT was a decent Thursday with one winner Whitefall (tipped 5-1, SP 11-4), two seconds (tipped 5-1 and 6-1) and one unplaced so good profit for the day. I promised a performance update and here it is from June 15. Selections: 73, Number showing return: 31 Winners: 10, Placed: 21 Strike rate: 42 per cent Points staked: 69 Points Up/Down: […]

HAVING beaten Wigan to lift the Community Shield, Manchester United are 8-11 with Coral to win a major trophy in the 2013-14 season (1-1 not to). The Premier League champions are 5-2 to successfully defend their league title and it’s 20-1 they record a League and FA Cup double. Robin van Persie’s double over Wigan saw the Dutchman pick up […]

PAT FENLON is 1-4 to win the Scottish Premiership sack race following Hibs’ 1-0 loss to Hearts in the Edinburgh derby. Fenlon is on the brink and Scots firm McBookie.com are taking bets on who’ll be the next Easter Road boss. They made assistant boss Jimmy Nicholl the 4-1 favourite followed by ex-Aberdeen gaffer Jimmy Calderwood on 7-1 and former […]

Man Utd v Wigan, Sunday, 2pm, Wembley DAVIE MOYES never won a trophy at Everton – but could lift one in his first competitive match in charge of Man United tomorrow. I say “competitive” but of course the Community Shield is more of a warm-up to the big kick-off next weekend. Having said that United’s opponents Wigan have already racked […]

I’VE been looking at the Europa League card for a few hours now and this is my treble from a fairly long list of possibles. Hopefully I’ve chosen the correct ones as I go for three top trebles in a row. I’m kicking off with Kuban Krasnodar against Motherwell. The Scots had high hopes for the tie against the Euro […]

I’M posting my tips on separate articles today and start with the Super Single which will be Swansea. Last night I picked three teams who didn’t need to win – but did so by a collective 12 goals and I’m encouraged by Swans boss Michael Laudrup insisting he’ll field a strong side despite taking a 4-0 lead to Sweden. Malmo […]

THE final Major of the season start on Thursday and William Hill are reporting solid support for Tiger Woods to win the USPGA at 9-2. You might get 5-1 with some bookies but there are a number of people who think he could run away with it after his Bridgestone Invitational triumph by seven shots last weekend. Hills offer 10-3 […]

TUESDAY’S a day when a lot of the good work at the weekend could be undone. That’s because Tuesday is League Cup day and we all know how unfriendly a tournament that is to punters. We don’t have much form or head-to-heads to look and we don’t know which teams will be at full strength or even too bothered about […]
