OCT 25: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 25 Oct 2011

THERE are no Blue Square Premier games this midweek which is disappointing so I’m going to focus my selections on League One and League Two. Let’s start at the game between Rochdale and Chesterfield. Both defences have struggled to keep clean sheets in recent weeks while their attack has been all right. Rochdale’s last five have featured 15 goals with […]

OCT 25: LEAGUE CUP QUARTER-FINALS

Posted on: 25 Oct 2011

THIS season’s Scottish League Cup has produced more than its fair of shocks and it’s unrealistic to expect all four favourites to progress to the semi-finals. Rangers, Hearts and Aberdeen are among the sides who have crashed out to lower-league opposition which makes Celtic, who face Hibs on Wednesday, no bigger than 4-6 to lift the trophy. That means three […]

OCT 25: ENGLISH FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 24 Oct 2011

THERE are plenty of games to get our teeth into on Tuesday with Carling Cup, League One and League Two matches. As usual the Carling Cup is a bit of a minefield with most managers playing weakened sides. However, you can bet Man United players will be at their best at Aldershot in the Carling Cup. Most of the players […]

OCT 24: BRIGHTON v WEST HAM TIPS

Posted on: 24 Oct 2011

Amex Stadium, Monday, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 2 IT’S a tough call in the Championship on Monday as two off-form sides meet in the live match. Brighton have gone six without a win after an electric start to the season while the Hammers haven’t won in three and crashed to Southampton in midweek. To me there is no sign of a […]

OCT 23: ENGLISH TIPS

Posted on: 22 Oct 2011

OPINION is split on England’s biggest game of the season so far. It’s Man United v Man City with the top two meeting at Old Trafford in what should be an absolute cracker. Now I’ve gone for the draw and will be accused of sitting on the fence but I honestly can’t pick a winner. On their best games they’d […]

OCT 23: SPL TIPS

Posted on: 22 Oct 2011

THE Old Firm suffered disappointing draws last weekend but both can bounce back with Sunday wins. It’s a double that pays 23-20 with William Hill as Rangers visit Hearts and Celtic entertain Aberdeen. Both not to win is 11-2 at William Hill and the side you’d think have the tougher task was Rangers. However, Ally McCoist’s men have won all […]

OCT 22: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 21 Oct 2011

WE only have two divisions to focus on this weekend in the Scottish Football Leagues. But that hasn’t stopped our lower-league man Joe Wallace from doing his homework in the search for a winning treble. We kick off this weekend in the Second Division and focus on Arbroath’s trip to Cliftonhill to face Albion Rovers. The Gayfield men go into […]

GB OLYMPICS BETTING LATEST

Posted on: 21 Oct 2011

DAVID BECKHAM is odds on with Ladbrokes to be included in the Team GB Olympic squad after Stuart Pearce was named boss yesterday. The bookies rate the home nations side 8-1 to win gold and it’s 12-1 they win every game before being crowned. Beckham is 20-1 to be the first player to score a GB Olympic goal and it’s […]

OCT 20: EUROPA LEAGUE

Posted on: 20 Oct 2011

SPURS are the 5-4 favourites with William Hill to be the British side to progress furthest in this year’s Europa League but I’d rather be on Stoke. Of the two it’s Stoke who are treating the competition more seriously and they are so strong at home. They are 9-4 second favourites with Hills while Fulham are 11-4 ahead of 7-1 […]

EUROPA LEAGUE: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 20 Oct 2011

I GAVE both teams to score a miss on Wednesday due a shortage of games. Some I fancied came up such as Shakhtar v Zenit, Porto v APOEL and Preston v Sheffield Utd but I’d have probably thrown Marseille v Arsenal into the mix. Europa League games have a decent record of both teams scoring so I’ll give it a […]

OCT 18: TOP TIPS

Posted on: 18 Oct 2011

HERE are today’s tips from my Daily Record column – and some more. The Champions League makes a return and on matchday three it’s difficult to see past short-priced favourites Man Utd, Man City and Real Madrid. As usual there is a tough midweek Championship card and a host of Blue Square Premier games. HOMES Man City Real Madrid Blackpool […]

OCT 18: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 17 Oct 2011

LAST midweek every team scored in the Blue Square Premier except Forest Green. I tipped up three of the games so it makes sense to start a both teams to score line there. And it’s no surprise I’m starting with old favourites Braintree who have never let me down. They drew 3-3 with Bath at the weekend and their last […]

OCT 16: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 15 Oct 2011

  THERE are games scattered across Europe and I’m not being restricted by boundaries as I try to repeat Saturday’s both teams to score success. I’m starting with a game that kicks off at 1.30pm and that’s Roda v Den Haag. This market comes up pretty often in Dutch games and sadly that’s reflected in the price. Roda’s last two […]

OCT 15: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 14 Oct 2011

PUNTERS up and down the country will be delighted to see the return of domestic football this weekend. And our Scottish Football League man Joe Wallace has been doing his homework in the hope of making it a winning one. We kick off this week’s SFL treble with Falkirk’s home clash against Queen of the South. The Bairns have steadily […]

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 14 Oct 2011

IN the absence of the Premier League and Championship the English lower leagues have provided a goals bonanza for punters. Millions has been paid on both teams to score lines and it was no surprise to me when Coral this weekend moved their bonuses to their European football coupon. They had offered up to 30 per cent bonuses on both […]

SCOTLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 14 Oct 2011

All games Saturday, 3pm PUNTERS have been coining it in on this market in recent weeks and unusually I’m starting my Scottish selections with a couple from the SPL. After a slow start to the season there have been goals galore in the top flight and one that looks nailed on for both teams to score is Hibs v Motherwell. […]

OCT 12: ACCRINGTON v TRANMERE

Posted on: 12 Oct 2011

ACCRINGTON and Tranmere make a second attempt to play their Johnstone Trophy match after the original match was abandoned due to injury to Tom Bender. Tranmere led 2-1 midway through the first half and I expect them to clinch victory on Wednesday night. They were dominant at League One leaders Charlton at the weekend before being pegged back by a […]

OCT 11: TOP TIPS

Posted on: 11 Oct 2011

HERE are my tips from today’s column in the Daily Record – and some more. After a fourth successive Saturday Super Single, Orient at 4-1, I’ve made Armenia my stand-out bet. They look huge at 9-2 but asking them to win is a tough task. Most of the selections are Euro 2012 qualifiers but there are South American World Cup […]

OCT 11: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 11 Oct 2011

  THERE were plenty of goals in last Friday Euro qualifiers and Tuesday’s games throw up the chance of many more. I’m mixing my line with Blue Square Premier games on which I’ve been fairly successful in recent weeks. Let’s start with Germany v Belgium. This is one the Belgians really need to win and I’m sure they’ll give it […]

OCT 10: OLDHAM v MK DONS

Posted on: 09 Oct 2011

Monday, 7.45, Sky Sports 1 WE were spot on by siding with Notts County in the League One Sunday game and I’m backing MK Dons to be Monday marvels in the same league. Victory will move them back to second spot behind Charlton and they look decent value at 13-10 with Ladbrokes. Karl Robinson’s men have only lost once this season although […]

LEAGUE 1: NOTTS CO v HARTLEPOOL

Posted on: 09 Oct 2011

Sunday, Meadow Lane, 4.30pm HARTLEPOOL have been one of the surprise sides of the season and started with a nine-match unbeaten run. Mick Wadsworth’s men lost for the first time at Sheffield Wednesday and there’s no disgrace in that. Now they face another tough test at a Notts County side who are trying to recover from a 3-0 defeat to MK […]

OCT 9: CHALLENGE CUP

Posted on: 09 Oct 2011

If I was offered one bet on today’s Challenge Cup semi-finals it would be El Allagui to score first for Falkirk at Annan. The striker enhanced his reputation with a double in the League Cup defeat of Rangers and hit the winner at Hamilton last week. Third Division Annan could find him a handful and he is 3-1 at McBookie.com […]

OCT 8: TOP TIPS

Posted on: 09 Oct 2011

HERE are my top tips from today’s Daily Record column. It’s a limited card but I’m confident I’ve picked some winners. And I’ve paid more care than usual with the Saturday Super Single as I go for four in a row after 3-1, 15-8 and 5-2 winners. HOMES Charlton Sheff Wed Rotherham Shrewsbury Swindon Fleetwood Any 5 and all 6 […]

ENGLAND FLOP COSTS PUNTERS MILLIONS

Posted on: 07 Oct 2011

MONTENEGRO’s late equaliser against England was worth more that £1million to bookies according to William Hill. Spokesman Graham Sharpe said: “With all the well-fancied sides winning on the night we were set for a real hammering but the late equaliser was brilliant for us – it saved us from a seven-figure payout but still allowed England to qualify for the […]

OCT 7: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 06 Oct 2011

IT’S been another landmark week in the world of both teams to score. Bookies paid out millions on Tuesday when out of 15 featured games only Scunthorpe failed to net. Coral alone handed over more than £1milliion as their 10 per cent, 20 per cent and 33 per cent bonuses on accumulators kicked in. There are always going to be […]
