I LANDED a fivefold last weekend and it would be nice to repeat the success. It’s been well documented that 14 of the 15 SFL matches featured both teams scoring and I had a few Unlucky Line of the Week entries to the Daily Record with punters missing out on an 1800-1 fifteenfold thanks to Stenny who didn’t net. My […]

THE SFL sides for once let us down on Tuesday night and the Wednesday line is relying on clubs all over Europe. I’m starting with the top-of-the-table clash between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. Dortmund’s last three league games have produced 19 goals including a 4-4 at home to Stuttgart. Bayern haven’t been as prolific but have netted nine in […]

THOSE of you who subscribe to my free newsletter will already be aware of how much I like this bet. So by popular demand, and because there’s no newsletter ahead of a full English card here’s my treble for Easter Monday. Away from home the goals have dried up for Tottenham – it’s been three games without a goal on the road. […]

BY the look of our Masters contest leaderboard plenty of you took our golf tipster’s advice and backed Phil Mickelson pre-tournament. The American was tipped up by Steven Clark at 12-1 and is now a biggest 6-4 (various) to put on the Green Jacket tonight. Mickelson stormed round Augusta’s back nine in 30 last night to close to within one […]

IT’S Easter Sunday and it’s a Super Sunday for the city of Manchester as City and United continue their head-to-head fight for the title. I expect United to charge eight points clear at the top by winning the early kick-off against QPR (1.30pm). If that’s what happens City will feel they have to beat Arsenal but it’s a tall task […]

AFTER four out of five on my Scottish both teams to score line for the past few weeks I finally got the fivefold up on Saturday. I picked the matches between Forfar v East Fife, Queen’s Park v East Stirling, Queen of the South v Morton, Brechin v Stirling and Rangers v St Mirren for a return of £143.50 to a £10 […]

OKAY, let’s clear this up. Ally McCoist isn’t making a comeback for Rangers and our betting story was simply an April Fool. Some of you saw through it straight away but others almost choked on their cornflakes when they read about McBookie.com’s offer of 6-1 on the Ibrox boss to score no SPL goals this season. McBookie.com were inundated with requests for […]

THERE are some cracking Masters offers out there and not much better than the Tiger Woods’ special from Paddy Power. They will refund all losing outright bets up to £100 if the great man wins. So this is one for backers of players such as Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson and Luke Donald. I flagged up the fact that William Hill […]

By Steven Clark PREDICTING the winner from a three-ball matchup can be one of the trickier bets to successfully navigate in golf. I don’t see any real value in going with someone shorter than 1-1 when they have two people up against them so on that note I’ll be looking towards those at 1-1 or better from the 32 matches […]

By Steven Clark I’VE already flagged up Phil Mickelson as my Masters winner and now I’m looking beyond the main contenders for some each-way value. Aside from Mickelson’s win two years ago the majority of Masters champions in recent years have came from out of nowhere to claim victory. Examples of this include Zach Johnson who was in excess of […]

EVEN without a rejuvenated Tiger Woods v the young pretender Rory McIlroy, the US Masters would be one of the highlights of the sporting year. Thursday marks the start of the 76th Masters and I’m hoping to give you some pointers from a betting direction. Firstly, I’m having a quick run through those the bookies reckon are the five main […]

Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, tonight, 8pm, live on Sky Sports Xtra SEVILLA will feel a Champions League place is still up for grabs if they can beat Mallorca at home tonight. A poor run was ended by back-to-back 3-0 wins against Racing and Granada and they can move to within five points of fourth place. Mallorca look set for mid-table mediocrity but […]

BOOKIES have slashed the odds about Kenny Dalglish not being Liverpool manager by the start of next season from 5-2 to 1-1 after a run of seven points in 10 games. It was a bad day for the club at Newcastle, losing 2-0, having keeper Pepe Reina sent off and see former Toon striker Andy Carroll launch a foul-mouthed tirade […]

Monday, Ewood Park, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 IT was three out of three for me on the Premier League yesterday so I’m confident ahead of tonight’s Blackburn v Man United clash. And I’m pretty sure the Reds will record a vital win that will lift them five points clear of title rivals Man City who slipped up against […]

NEWCASTLE look a massive price to beat a Liverpool outfit who lost to Wigan last week. Alan Pardew’s men have beaten West Brom and Norwich while Kenny Dalglish’s side have lost their last two and seem to be in a bit of disarray. Senegal stars Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba promise goals and if Liverpool defend like they did at […]

SOUTHAMPTON’S penalty miss prevented me landing a fivefold on the English card on Saturday so hopefully I can go one better on Sunday. I’m starting with the big game in Serie A, Juventus v Napoli, and hopefully the goals will fly in. It was 3-3 when they met earlier this season in Naples and the last three showdowns have produced […]

I DON’T like keeping you waiting but I must start this line with Saturday night’s late show. It’s not ideal to put this with four 3pm kick-offs but if the first four come up you’ll enjoy Blackpool v Southampton even more. The Bloomfield Road showdown, live on BBC2 at 5.25pm, should produce goals from two sides who love to attack […]

OUR new contributor Scott McAlpine has made a superb start on the site. Last Saturday his debut SFL treble of Ross County, East Fife and Alloa came in at 11-1. And last night his four tips on the Inverness v St Johnstone match all came up. He went for Fran Sandaza to score first at 11-2 and at any time […]

I’M hoping we get off to a flyer with the Champions League crunch between Benfica and Chelsea. Chelsea reached this stage with a sparkling comeback against Napoli that might have not been possible without the away goal they scored in Italy. So the Blues know the importance of hitting the target and have in fact scored in all of their […]

BRAGA are in top form in the Portuguese League with 12 wins on the spin and should make it a lucky 13 at home to Academica tonight (8.15pm). Sporting have done brilliantly to keep pace with big two Porto and Benfica and will actually go top if they win. Braga have been triumphant in all but one home game this season […]

Old Trafford, Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 THERE were some strange results at the weekend – but I can’t see Manchester United being the victims of another tonight. A draw will lift the Red Devils back to the top of the table but I expect them to bank all three points against Fulham. United have won five in […]

Ibrox, Sunday, 1pm, live on Sky Sports 1 SIX days after beating them in the League Cup Final, Kilmarnock did Celtic a turn. They beat Motherwell in the SPL and it means Neil Lennon’s side will clinch the title by winning at the home of their greatest rivals Rangers. It’s a dream scenario for all Celtic fans but a nightmare […]

I’VE been hitting the bar with this bet for weeks so hopefully it will come up today. Let’s start with a right good looking Championship clash between Reading and Blackpool. Both teams love to attack and have been scoring plenty in recent weeks. Three of Reading’s last four have featured exactly four goals and Blackpool drew 3-3 with Leicester in […]

NOW I know why locals call them Peterheid! They certainly drove myself and followers of this bet off their heids last Saturday. All we needed was a Peterhead goal in the last 20 minutes to bring up the fivefold – and they couldn’t oblige. I’ve tipped both teams to score in the last nine weekend Scottish Third Division matches – and […]

By Scott McAlpine WE’RE moving in to the closing stages in the Scottish Football Leagues – and as always we have been doing our homework looking to bring home a winning treble. It’s been proving difficult to come up with a successful coupon in recent weeks with one team usually allowing well-priced trebles to collapse. But that hasn’t put us […]
