RVP BETTING SPECIALS

Posted on: 17 Aug 2012

ROBIN VAN PERSIE is 5-1 with Ladbrokes to break last season’s league goal haul of 31 when he arrives at Man United. The bookies were quick to react to the news he’d signed by cutting United to 9-4 (from 5-2) for the title as well as making him the new 6-1 favourite to be top scorer. The book is open […]

AUGUST 13: ENGLISH FOOTBALL

Posted on: 13 Aug 2012

FIRST-ROUND games in the League Cup have proved tough to call so keep any stakes low for tonight’s ties. On Saturday eight of the matches ended in draws and on Sunday Blackpool were surprised at home to Morecambe. Tonight three Championship sides are in action away from home so it’s a tough treble to attempt. The side I like most […]

AUGUST 12: COMMUNITY SHIELD

Posted on: 12 Aug 2012

Chelsea v Man City, Sunday, 1.30pm, Villa Park, live on ITV1 IT should be a fairly relaxed affair at Villa Park as Man City and Chelsea fight it out for the Community Shield. This will be nothing like the cut and thrust of the Premier League as two of England’s giants fight out the traditional curtain-raiser. Often nothing more than […]

AUGUST 12: HIBS v HEARTS

Posted on: 11 Aug 2012

SPL, Sunday, 12.30pm, live on ESPN HEARTS have had the upperhand over city rivals Hibs for the past few seasons and should extend their dominance on Sunday. The Jambos won all four meetings last season by at least two goals, including a 5-1 rout in the Scottish Cup Final. There have been plenty of changes at Tynecastle since then with […]

AUGUST 9: EUROPA LEAGUE BETTING

Posted on: 09 Aug 2012

LIVERPOOL and Dundee Utd are the latest British clubs in European action – and it should be a repeat of Wednesday with one in and one out. Celtic as expected made it through to a Champions League play-off while Motherwell’s hopes were ended at the hands of Panathinaikos. Liverpool have one foot in the Europa League play-off round after beating […]

GOLF: US PGA BETTING

Posted on: 09 Aug 2012

I FELT sorry for Adam Scott as his late collapse at The Open handed victory to Ernie Els even though I’d tipped the South African at 45-1. Scott didn’t do too much wrong and will be looking to make amends and land his first Major when the PGA Championship starts on Thursday. Questions are being asked about the Aussie’s mental […]

AUGUST 7: RANGERS v EAST FIFE BETTING

Posted on: 06 Aug 2012

Communites League Cup 1st Rd, Tuesday, Ibrox, 7.45pm RANGERS’ tour of the SFL continues with a League Cup opener at Ibrox. Twelve months ago you would have been accused of drinking meths if you had suggested Ally McCoist’s side would be facing such a tie. But while the likes of Celtic, Motherwell and Dundee Utd enter the tournament later on […]

OLYMPICS BETTING LATEST

Posted on: 05 Aug 2012

MO FARAH is 5-4 with Coral to add gold in the 5000m to his success in the 10,000m after a night of triumph in the Olympic Stadium saw Team GB win three titles. Golden girl Jessica Ennis was the big winner on the night as she wrapped up glory in style with success in the 800m. Greg Rutherford was a […]

AUGUST 5: DUNDEE UTD v HIBS BETTING

Posted on: 04 Aug 2012

Tannadice, Sunday, 1pm, live on ESPN BELOW Celtic the battle for the rest of the top-six places in the SPL will be hard-fought. The closeness of the teams was illustrated on the opening day of the season with three draws and a 1-0 for Celtic in the five fixtures. Most people would expect Dundee Utd, 15-8 favourites at Skybet to […]

AUGUST 4: LEAGUE CUP BETTING

Posted on: 04 Aug 2012

THERE were shocks galore in the Ramsdens Cup last week – and the advice would be tread warily when looking at today’s League Cup clashes. The likes of Dunfermline, Ayr and Rangers all failed to win in 90 minutes. One of the stand-out scorelines was Elgin 5, Arbroath 7 and you’ve got to fear for the Highlanders who head to […]

OLYMPICS BETTING LATEST

Posted on: 31 Jul 2012

THREE days into the London Olympics and Coral are still confident Team GB will surpass the tally of 19 gold medals the team won in Bejing four years’ ago.

RANGERS BETTING LATEST

Posted on: 30 Jul 2012

RANGERS have been pushed out in the betting for the Third Division title after struggling to beat Brechin in the Ramsdens Cup on Sunday. However, the “out” odds are 1-20 from 1-33 with McBookie.com who may have to review that price once again if the likes of Dean Shiels signs on for the Ibrox men. Rangers are also out to […]

OLYMPIC FOOTBALL: GB v UAE

Posted on: 29 Jul 2012

GB v UAE, Sunday, 7.45pm, live on BBC3 GB weren’t great in their opener against Senegal but should have notched a win. Stuart Pearce will be hoping for a better result on Sunday night when his men face United Arab Emirates.

JULY 29: BRECHIN v RANGERS TIPS

Posted on: 29 Jul 2012

Sunday, Glebe Park, 3.05pm, live on BBC ALBA THE day has finally arrived – as newco Rangers start life among the lower echelons of Scottish football.

JULY 28: RAMSDENS CUP TIPS

Posted on: 28 Jul 2012

RANGERS’ entrance to the Ramsdens Cup has raised the profile of the tournament to a new level – and the newco will take their bow at Brechin on Sunday.

JULY 26: OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 26 Jul 2012

I’M pretty sure football should feature in the Olympics – I’m just not sure which players should be there. Stuart Pearce had a helluva task whittling down his original squad to the ones who will represent GB in London. And his side struggled for long periods against Brazil in their final warm-up, going down 2-0 to Stan James’ 6-4 tournament […]

JULY 25: FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 25 Jul 2012

HJK HELSINKI took their time on Tuesday night but finally produced the goods to bring up my main tip. The Finns won 2-1 in Iceland for a 9-1 aggregate success and could give Celtic a tough test in the Champions League qualifiers next week. Tonight there are five more qualifiers with two featuring sides from Wales and Ireland. The New […]

JULY 24: FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 24 Jul 2012

I HAVEN’T picked the best of days to return to action with little value on tonight’s Champions League qualifiers. Friendlies are matches I refuse to bet on unless there are exceptional circumstances so I won’t be staking too much tonight. HJK Helsinki are a team I’ve been keeping an eye on with their next round opponents being Celtic and the […]

ELS: OUR 45-1 OPEN CHAMP

Posted on: 22 Jul 2012

LIKE the big man himself I can scarcely believe it. Ernie Els, Open champion 2012. All day it looked Adam Scott’s Claret Jug until the Big Easy birdied his final hole to set a target that proved too good in the end for the Aussie nearly man. I tipped Els each-way at 45-1 at the start of play and I’d […]

GOLF: THE OPEN FINAL ROUND

Posted on: 21 Jul 2012

ADAM SCOTT has one hand on the Claret Jug and it will be difficult to wrestle golf’s most famous trophy away from the Australian on Sunday evening. Scott has played exceptionally well over the first three rounds at Lytham and looked coolness personified as he defended a four-shot lead over Graeme McDowell and Brandt Snedeker. The likeable Aussie, still hunting […]

GOLF: THE OPEN BETTING LATEST

Posted on: 19 Jul 2012

THE OPEN is about to tee off and once again the race for the Claret Jug is wide open.

RANGERS BETTING LATEST

Posted on: 13 Jul 2012

ANYTHING Celtic can do Rangers can do just as well. After Celtic were installed as 1-50 for the SPL title, Rangers are also 1-50 with McBookie.com for championship glory – in the Scottish Third Division.
