FOR those who didn’t get their hands on my Daily Record column today, I took an early look at World Cup 2014 qualifying and outright prices. When you have two pages to fill and deadlines to meet, sometimes needs must. However, although it’s still two months before the start of the European qualifiers there are some decent prices on offer. […]

FANS are likely to be serenading Serena Williams as she bids for a fifth women’s Wimbledon crown tomorrow. The 30-year-old American, seeking a 14th Grand Slam title, is a biggest 1-6 at BetVictor to beat Pole star Agnieszka Radwanska who has been suffering with a sore throat. Radwanska is the first Pole for 75 years to reach a Wimbledon singles […]

IF Andy Murray is crowned Wimbledon champion it will see UK bookmakers pay out £5million to patriotic punters. The Scot should move a step nearer his glory by beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in today’s semi-finals. After making the last four for the fourth year in a row Murray is odds-on at 4-9 (various) to make it past the French outsider who […]

THERE are stacks of Europa League qualifiers tonight but finding value isn’t easy. A combination of extremely short-priced favourites against unknown quantities and early in the season at that suggests punters should be playing it safe. One visitor to this site flagged up Dutch cracks Twente who are at home to Andorrans Santa Coloma but best price is 1-66 at […]

FOR the first time in the Open era William Hill are odds on a British male will reach the Wimbledon final and go 9-2 Andy Murray lifts the trophy on Sunday night.

ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS is odds-on to last longer in the Premier League with Spurs than he with Chelsea according to Ladbrokes. The bookies make him 2-5 to be at White Hart Lane beyond March 4 next year (7-4 to be away) with odds of 4-7 also suggesting he will register at least one win over his old club in all competitions […]

ANDY MURRAY is a short-priced favourite to beat David Ferrer and clinch a place in the Wimbledon semi-finals. The Scot is a biggest 4-9 with Ladbrokes, Paddy Power and Skybet but I can’t see him getting an easy game against world No.5 David Ferrer who play away Juan Martin del Potro in the previous round. Spanish star Ferrer is 2-1 […]

COULD it be his year? That’s what everyone’s asking about Andy Murray as his path to the Wimbledon final opened up following Rafael Nadal’s shock defeat to Lukas Rosol. The Scot has started is campaign well with two convincing wins over tough opponents and he is a biggest 6-1 at unibet to claim his first Grand Slam title. To reach […]

SOUTHAMPTON’S trip to the Etihad is looking likely to be the first game shown on Match Of The Day next season according to Ladbrokes. The bookies are now taking bets on which set of highlights will be aired first with Manchester United’s trip to Goodison the 3-1 second favourite. The first run-out for the new Spurs manager (Newcastle away) is […]

WILLIAM HILL have installed David Moyes as 7-4 favourite to succeed Harry Redknapp as the next permanent manager of Spurs. The Everton man is being lined up as Redknapp gets set to leave the club he just failed to return to the Champions League. William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said: “This will be a volatile market but as Spurs would […]

BOOKIES reckon Andy Murray’s chances of winning a first Grand Slam this year appear are on the wane after his shock exit at the hands of Nicholas Mahut at the Queen’s Club. Murray, who had won the Aegon Championships for the past two years, looked badly in need of some grasscourt practice after falling at the first hurdle. Scottish bookmakers […]

A COUPLE of days ago I was asked for my thoughts on the US Open and the names I put up were Luke Donald and Jim Furyk. The reasoning behind that was all the reports about the brutal Olympic course suiting an accurate player over a big hitter. A great short game will always be needed to tame a monster […]

League One play-off final, Saturday, Wembley, 3pm, live on Sky Sports 2 THIS tough as teak Yorkshire derby should have been about Jordan Rhodes v Ched Evans. Instead it’s about whether 40-goal Rhodes can work his magic one more time and guide Huddersfield into the Championship. Rhodes netted first in both legs of Huddersfield’s semi-final victory against MK Dons but […]

THE top three in the Irish league face the bottom three tonight with a treble paying a biggest just under 2-1 at William Hill. It’s not great odds but probably worth taking on. Unbeaten leaders Sligo, who have raced into an eight-point lead at the top after nine wins in their first 12 games, travel to third bottom UCD who […]

Hibs v Hearts, Hampden, 3pm, live BBC 1 Scotland and Sky HIBS have waited 110 years to lift the Scottish Cup and they could be waiting a bit longer. They face Hearts in the first all-capital final since 1896 and the Easter Road men are massive underdogs at Hampden. And although anything can happen in a final or a derby I’m on the Jambos at a […]

PAUL LAMBERT is the even-money favourite to replace Alex McLeish at Aston Villa according to Ladbrokes. The Norwich boss saw his odds slashed from 8-1 to 2-1 in a matter of hours once McLeish had been dismissed – and a run of money since has forced his price down to 1-1. Mick McCarthy is also a massive market mover with […]

IT’S a bit of deja vu with Roberto Martinez being linked with the Aston Villa job just as he was a year ago. Wigan gaffer Martinez is 15-8 with Paddy Power to replace the sacked Scot. Other names in the frame include Norwich’s Paul Lambert at 3-1 and out-of work Rafa Benitez at 10-1. A cluster of names come in […]

MAN CITY are just 11-8 to win the Premier League next season according to Ladbrokes. Going into the incredible season finale City were 1-9 to lift the trophy and United could have been backed as big as 5-1.

IT was an exciting end to the English Premier League season as Man City nicked the title from Man Utd with just seconds to spare. Sergio Aguero completed an incredible comeback as City netted two injury-time goals to edge out QPR 3-2 and win the title on goal difference. Followers of my top tips were just as happy as City […]

THERE are some pretty straight choices to be made on Sunday. Man City or Man Utd for the title, QPR or Bolton for the drop and who will finish third? For me it’s Man City all day long, I’d be surprised if Bolton saved themselves by winning at Stoke and I can’t see Arsenal slipping up when they have a […]

SHEFFIELD UTD have played three games since top scorer and talisman Ched Evans was jailed – and they haven’t won any. However, they have been scoring goals with their last two games ending in 2-2 draws. But the loss of Evans probably cost them automatic promotion and could hurt their chances in the play-offs. Stevenage have battled through despite losing […]
