WHEN Bolton failed to beat Burnley in the early kick-off I sensed a bad day – but I was proved wrong. For the opening day of the season it turned out to be a belter. My Super Single was beaten but the popular Top Treble won at 11-2 and I picked five correct homes at 17-1. To round it all […]

NORMALLY on a Saturday afternoon I’ll be watching Clydebank but wasn’t tempted by today’s friendly at Cambuslang so instead turned my attention to picking a European treble. I quite fancy Paris St Germain to beat Bordeaux in the Trophee de Champions that launched the new French season. It’s a big campaign for new boss Laurent Blanc but I’m not sure […]

OUR bookie of the month Coral are reporting heavy interest Watford and Fleetwood ahead of the big kick-off. Coral say they have seen plenty of support for a number of teams across the English leagues, most notably, Watford in the Championship and Fleetwood in League Two. The Hornets are now 10-1 (from 14-1) to run out victorious in the Championship […]

EVERY week Betway will enhance my featured Saturday top treble and this weekend it pays 11-2. And remember to post your own treble in the comments section to have a chance of winning a free bet. It doesn’t pay to take too many chances at the start of the season and I’ve been focusing on sides tipped to do well […]

THE new Scottish Premiership season opens tonight at 7.45 with an interesting clash between Partick Thistle and Dundee Utd. Last season Jackie McNamara put the Jags on the road to promotion before jumping ship to Tannadice in what was an acrimonious departure. He’s since returned to take Thistle’s star men Chris Erskine and Paul Paton north so he’ll receive the […]

THE English season officially kicks off at 7.45 and the Sky cameras have picked a match that looks close to call. Early games are always fairly tight anyway and I don’t expect fireworks when the Blades entertain Notts County. United are fourth favourites for the title at 11-1 with William Hill while County are as big as 33-1 (various). So […]

THIS could be the night I fall in love with Luxembourg football or vow never to back a side from that tiny country ever again. Differdange not to lose is my Super Single and for a both teams to score treble I’m starting with their visit to Tromso. The Luxembourg shocktroops netted six against Utrecht in the last round – […]

IT’S one of the toughest title races to call – the English Championship is a gruelling 46-match race to the finish. It’s a marathon not a sprint and there will be plenty of twists and turns throughout the campaign. Relegated clubs QPR, Reading and Wigan are in the top six in the betting and the winner should come from them […]

ST JOHNSTONE shocked most punters by beating Rosenborg away – but I don’t think they’ll surprise me in Minsk (5pm). It’s a tougher task for Tommy Wright’s Euro heroes and they’ll do well to leave eastern Europe with a one-goal defeat. Motherwell also face class opposition in the shape of Kuban Krasnodar and they’ll be out if they don’t win […]

CELTIC have won their last six Champions League qualifiers and can make it a magnificent past by edging past Elfsborg at home. Improved away from in the tournament means the Scots don’t have to rely on Parkhead being a fortress and I’m sure Neil Lennon would accept any lead to take to Sweden next week. Victory Wanyama and Gary Hooper […]

SO this is it! We’ve had our first taste of European action but the UK domestic season kicks off for real with the opening round of the Scottish Challenge Cup ties on Saturday. There are 15 matches followed by the big one – Albion Rovers v Rangers on Sunday. I’ll put up a normal top treble but I’m also picking […]

AFTER making plenty of profit on the overnight games backing USA, Panama and Mineiro I’m going for a decent-priced top treble and ignoring all the big favourites. I’m starting with Omonia Nicosia at home to Astra. The Cypriots are a decent outfit with plenty of Euro experience after 10 campaigns running. They drew 1-1 in Romania so any sort of […]

AFTER picking The Open winner for the second year running I feel duty bound to put up some tips for this week’s events. We go from the sublime to the ridiculous on the European Tour with Simon Dyson favourite to win the Russian Open at Tseleevo, Moscow. All the stars have given it a miss but the one name that […]

Atletico Mineiro v Olimpia, Thursday, 1.50am IT’S deja vu for Brazil big guns Atletico Mineiro as they start the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final trailing Olimpia 2-0 after a horror show in Paraguay. Atletico were also 2-0 down to Newell’s Old Boys in the semi-finals before scrambling a 2-0 win then going through on penalties. They are famously […]

FOR the second year running I was lucky enough to pick The Open champion. Twelve months ago I tipped Ernie Els and this time Phil Mickelson was one of the three outright selections I recommended last Wednesday. Mickelson, whose display in winning on the Castle Stuart links course last week convinced me he could triumph at Muirfield, left it late […]

THERE should be a thrilling finish to The Open with 10 players within three shots of the lead held by Lee Westwood. The Englishman has performed well all week, boosted by coaching sessions from Ian Baker-Finch and Sean Foley, and is in prime position to land his first Major title. Westwood’s been there before of course but looks in control […]

IT was a incredible day at The Open which ended with Tiger Woods sitting menacingly in joint second place – just one shot behind leader Miguel Angel Jimenez. World No.1 Woods birdied the last to stay two under and has been cut to 5-2 favourite to win at Muirfield. He certainly looks in the mood to end his Majors drought […]

WE could be set for an Open shoot-out between old foes Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson after a fascinating day one at Muirfield. While the likes of Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald shot themselves out of contention, the American giants plotted their way round superbly to be two of 20 players under par. Woods recovered from a scrambled bogey at […]

THE OPEN has always been a minefield for punters but the fact up to eight places (BetVictor) are being offered means with dead heats you’ve got a chance of a return if your man finishes top nine or even 10. Barring hot favourite Tiger Woods – who has been out injured since the US Open a month ago – every […]

WILLIAM HILL have reported a surge of support for Phil Mickelson to win The Open Championship after his success at the Scottish Open. Lefty conquered a links course for the first time and after his impressive display at Castle Stuart is 18-1 from 28-1 to triumph at Muirfield this weekend. Mickelson’s win was his first on UK soil and came […]

SATURDAY night matches went pretty much as expected apart from the fact Cuba scored. USA hit back to win 4-1 with Landon Donovan and Chris Wondolowski on target while Costa Rica won to nil. Those two have booked their quarter-final spots as have Panama who complete their Group A campaign against Canada tonight. Panama would like to finish top of […]

IT’S the week before The Open and a chance for some of the world’s best golfers to hone their game ahead of Muirfield. The likes of Ernie Els (20-1, Paddy Power), Henrik Stenson (20-1, Betvictor) and Phil Mickleson (20-1, Skybet) will tee up at Castle Stuart, outside Inverness, but will any of them actually want to win the Scottish Open? […]

THE women’s European Championship kicked off today with Italy v Finland but the game I’m more interested in is Sweden v Denmark (7.30pm, live on BBC3). Hosts Sweden are third favourites for the tournament and look set for a decent run, probably all the way to the Final and a potential meeting with Germany. They are a best 4-6 with […]

ANDY MURRAY is joint favourite to win the US Open after landing his second Grand Slam of his career at Wimbledon on Sunday. The Scot and Novak Djokovic are 15-8 with BetVictor and William Hill and such as the power swung so much to those two that Rafael Nadal is 7-1 while Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro are […]

Canada v Martinique (10.30pm), Mexico v Panama (1am) I HAD great success on the Confederations Cup games but I’m not sure about the Gold Cup. Most of the sides are less well know but one thing I’m pretty sure of is that the USA are likely to emerge as tournament winners. The United States and Mexico have dominated proceedings with […]
