TOP TIPS: 28-1 AWAYS WIN

Posted on: 03 Mar 2012

IT was a day of mixed fortunes – and one lovely win. My four aways came up at just over 28-1 with unibet thanks to Reading – who were also my Super Single – Middlesbrough, Motherwell and Stenhousemuir. And I’ve got to thank Dr Goals Kenny Deuchar. If the experienced striker hadn’t signed for Stenny on Friday I’d never have considered […]

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 02 Mar 2012

I DON’T like including an early kick-off in the line but it’s difficult to resist Liverpool v Arsenal. Seven of the last eight meetings between the sides at Anfield have seen both score and the respective squads go into the live TV games on a high. Hopefully the players involved in midweek internationals will have recovered sufficiently to put on […]

SCOTLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 02 Mar 2012

AIRDRIE helped us to a small profit on Wednesday with their score draw at Arbroath. By fighting back from 2-0 down they prevented the home men from leapfrogging Cowdenbeath to move top of the Second Division. Ironically, Beath are the visitors to Airdrie on Saturday and they won’t be handing out any favours. But having played so well against Arbroath I […]

MARCH 3: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 02 Mar 2012

WE finally kick winter into touch and hopefully can spring into the warmer weather with a winning SFL treble to put the smiles back on punters’ faces. It’s been a difficult couple of weeks in the Irn-Bru divisions with some of the favoured teams coming a cropper. But let’s hope we can get our homework right this weekend and come […]

MARCH 2: BLACKPOOL v HULL TIPS

Posted on: 02 Mar 2012

BLACKPOOL are a strange lot. I’ve won money backing them this season but recently they’ve struggled at home. Barring defeat at Everton in the FA Cup when Ian Holloway fielded a weakened team, the Tangerines have rammed in exactly three goals in their last three visits to Bristol City, Doncaster and Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup. But at home […]

FEB 28: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 27 Feb 2012

IT’S another busy midweek in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues – and another chance to give the bookies a run for their money. Some shock results in recent weeks have killed off decent-looking coupons with Livingston’s disappointing 3-1 loss at Ayr on Saturday ruining a pay day with Falkirk and Elgin both doing the business. Let’s hope for better this […]

FEB 27: EUROPEAN FOOTBALL DOUBLE

Posted on: 27 Feb 2012

NOT too many matches to focus on tonight as we get ready for the internationals later in the week. However, there are two games that stand out as home wins. First up it’s Braga who entertain Guimaraes at the Estadio Municipal where they have such a great record. Third-placed Braga have only dropped points to Benfica in the Portuguese League and […]

FEB 27: SHREWSBURY v CRAWLEY

Posted on: 27 Feb 2012

New Meadow, Monday, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 TV cameras make a rare visit to Shrewsbury on Monday night and could have picked an action-packed match. It’s a clash between fourth v fifth in League Two and features two clubs with serious promotion ambitions. Shrewsbury remain unbeaten at home while there is a perception Crawley are the better of the two […]

FEB 26: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 25 Feb 2012

I’VE already said elsewhere that I expect goals in the North London derby so I’ll start my line with Arsenal v Spurs. There have been 25 in the last six meetings between the sides, including 3-2 to Spurs at the Emirates last season. On their day both sides are capable of hitting the net so hopefully this will be an […]

FEB 26: INVERNESS CT v RANGERS

Posted on: 25 Feb 2012

Sunday, Caledonian Stadium, 12.45pm (live on Sky Sports 1) INVERNESS have been the result of a big gamble all week and time will tell whether they can justify the money. I don’t know anyone happy to back crisis-hit Rangers at a biggest 17-20 (Blue Square) – and although they haven’t lost any players yet boss Ally McCoist is still down to the […]

FEB 26: ENGLISH FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 25 Feb 2012

  AWAY from the Carling Cup Final it’s a busy day of football in England. And the appetiser to the Wembley main course on Sunday isn’t bad with North London rivals squaring up at the Emirates. The balance of power is changing with Spurs 10 points clear of Arsenal and looking well set to book a Champions League place for the […]

FEB 26: CARLING CUP FINAL

Posted on: 25 Feb 2012

Wembley, Sunday, 4.0 (live Sky Sports and BBC1) MY match of the day piece on the newsletter was always on the Carling Cup Final so apologies if you already know my predictions. Liverpool v Cardiff is battle of the Scots bosses and I reckon Kenny Dalglish will get the better of Malky Mackay, another ex-Celtic player. King Kenny is desperate to […]

SCOTLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 24 Feb 2012

FALKIRK boss Steven Pressley was furious when Carl Finnigan denied his side a midweek win with a late equaliser for Dundee. The big striker joined on loan from St Johnstone earlier in the day and made his considerable presence felt right away. Next up for Finnigan and co on Saturday is a meeting with leaders Ross County at Dens Park. […]

FEB 25: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 24 Feb 2012

THE milder weather should ensure a full fixture card in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues – so let’s hope we can give the bookies a bashing and have punters laughing all the way to the bank. As always we have been on the case in the hunt for a winning treble and our job has become slightly more difficult in […]

DARTS: LATEST BETTING

Posted on: 23 Feb 2012

PHIL TAYLOR, with a 112-dart average, continued his incredible run of form at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast last night. The 15-time world champion powered his way to a scintillating 8-4 victory over Raymond van Barneveld and is now 11-10 (from 11-8) favourite with William Hill for the McCoy’s Premier League. Gary Anderson, the defending champion, returned to somewhere near […]

FEB 23: DERBY v LEICESTER TIPS

Posted on: 23 Feb 2012

Tonight, Pride Park 7.45, live on Sky Sports 1 LEICESTER looked superb in beating Norwich in the FA Cup at the weekend but can they follow up with victory at Derby? Nigel Pearson’s men are steadily improving but need a run of wins to have any chance of making the play-offs which must be their aim. Problem is Leicester haven’t […]

FEB 22: EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 22 Feb 2012

IT was an action-packed night on Tuesday with the big gamble on Napoli paying off but Real Madrid letting punters down at the death. We had some healthy debate on the Napoli v Chelsea match but in the end the Blues’ old failings – and David Luiz – came back to haunt them and I was delighted my 7-2 double on Cristiano […]

FEB 21: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 21 Feb 2012

IT’S a busy midweek in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues – and once again we have been doing our homework in the hunt for a winning lower-league treble. There are 10 SFL matches being played over the next couple of days giving punters the perfect chance to give the bookies a bashing. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division […]

FEB 20: MONDAY FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 20 Feb 2012

THEY make odd bedfellows but tonight they could provide you with a nice double act. I’m talking about Brentford and Nantes who look decent-priced homes against Carlisle and Metz respectively. So let’s start with the buzzing Bees. They were well tipped for promotion at the start of the season and can still make it to the play-offs despite a run […]

FEB 19: EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 19 Feb 2012

I GOT it spot on with Real Madrid -3 last night and reckon Barcelona can cover the -1  handicap tonight. Barcelona, 2-7 at Ladbrokes, are bidding to avoid back-to-back league defeats for the first time since May 2009 and should take care of Valencia at home. Barca beat their opponents 2-0 to reach the Spanish Cup Final a fortnight ago […]

FEB 18: SPANISH FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 18 Feb 2012

REAL MADRID are incredibly short to beat Racing Santander at home as they look to build on their 10-point cushion over Barcelona tonight (7pm). Racing sit in the drop zone with just one away game all season while Real have won 10 out of 11 at the Bernabeu. So this can be nothing but a home but with BetVictor, William Hill, […]

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 17 Feb 2012

CAN I break the run of one game beating me? I hope so but the FA Cup ties don’t really help my cause. It’s tough picking goals galore games from these ties simply because most of the ties feature teams from different leagues. Two caught my eye, Norwich v Leicester and Everton v Blackpool, and I think I’ll start with the […]

FEB 18: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 17 Feb 2012

THANK God it’s the weekend and another chance for punters to cash in and have the bookies crying into their pints. On paper it looks a difficult week for tipping in the Scottish Football Leagues – but that hasn’t stopped us doing our homework in the hunt for a winning treble. We kick off in the Irn-Bru Second Division and […]

DARTS: PREMIER LEAGUE BETTING

Posted on: 16 Feb 2012

PHIL TAYLOR is 16-1 with William Hill to hit another nine-darter in the McCoy’s Premier League in Belfast next week. The Power,  the current 11-8 tournament favourite, set the AECC in Aberdeen alight on Thursday with a dazzling display against Kevin Painter – including a stunning nine-dart finish. Gary Anderson, the defending Premier league champion, sent a vocal hometown crowd into […]

FEB 15: WEDNESDAY FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 14 Feb 2012

AFTER a hectic Tuesday there’s less to focus on with Wednesday being dominated by two Champions League ties. Arsenal head for AC Milan while Benfica take on Zenit St Petersburg in their last-16 first-leg affair. So let’s look at the Gunners first of all. Domestically their title race is over and they’re fighting for a place in next season’s Champions […]
