OCTOBER 5: FOOTBALL BETTING

Posted on: 04 Oct 2011

DIDN’T know whether to crack open the bubbly on Tuesday night or settle for a can of Tennent’s. It was one of those nights when you feel a bit flat despite a decent win on the both teams to score market. I was a bit wary of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy ties so my main bet was a fourfold on […]

OCT 4: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 04 Oct 2011

IT’S tough to predict results tonight so the way to go on the Johnstone’s Trophy ties could be backing goals. Don’t worry about who is winning just keep your fingers crossed both teams score. Not all bookmakers quote on the market for the games I’ve chosen so Im giving Ladbrokes prices to give you an idea of what it pays. I’m offering up […]

OCT 4: FOOTBALL TREBLE

Posted on: 04 Oct 2011

IF you want to make a quick killing this isn’t the night to do it. Johnstone’s Trophy matches aren’t the easiest to call with sides allowed to make up to five changes to personnel. So we can expect a lot of half-strength outfits sent out and it’s case of working out which sides are taking the tournament most seriously. Promotion […]

OCT 2:EPL 60-1 TREBLE

Posted on: 02 Oct 2011

THERE are four games in the EPL on Sunday, starting with Chelsea at struggling Bolton (1.30pm, Sky Sports 1). Owen Coyle’s men flourished last season mainly thanks to on-loan Blues star Daniel Sturridge’s goals. He returned to Stamford Bridge in the summer and has never looked back while Bolton are missing him badly. The Reebok has happy memories for Chelsea […]

SPL: HEARTS v CELTIC

Posted on: 02 Oct 2011

  Sunday, Tynecastle, 12.45pm (game on after pitch inspection) ALL eyes will be on Neil Lennon as he returns to the scene of his attack by fan today. Lennon says he has no fears about going back to Tynecastle and let’s hope we’ll be talking about the quality of the football after 90 minutes. What’s not up for debate is the […]

OCT 1: TOP TIPS

Posted on: 01 Oct 2011

HERE are my top tips from today’s column in the Daily Record. Last week’s Super Single was Arbroath at 15-8 and I’m hoping for another win today from Burnley. The Turf Moor men ended a poor spell in midweek when they hammered Nottingham Forest 5-1. With confidence restored they can take care of a Millwall side who have lost four […]

OCT 1: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 30 Sep 2011

IT’S another difficult weekend for betting in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues – but as always our man Joe Wallace has been doing his homework in the search for a winning treble. We kick off in the Second Division and focus on Dumbarton’s home clash with Albion Rovers. After a fairly average start to the campaign the Sons had the smiles […]

SCOTLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 30 Sep 2011

  WE’RE down to an average of 3.9 goals a games in the Scottish Second Division but it’s still the place to focus on for this market. The five matches still produced 15 goals and there should plenty when top-of-the-table Arbroath entertain Cowdenbeath at home. Arbroath have netted 17 goals in winning their last five while Beath have rammed in 19 in […]

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 30 Sep 2011

I WAS a bit gutted on Thursday when only seven out of eight of my Europa League teams scored. There were plenty of goals about but PSG let me down big style away to Athletic Bilbao. I received some cracking entries for my Line of the Week contest in the Daily Record and I’m convinced it’s worth doing a random […]

SEPT 29 EUROPA LEAGUE: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 29 Sep 2011

  WITH the Europa League a difficult set of fixtures to predict I wasn’t going to bother with a both teams to score line but you guys have been demanding one – so here goes. It seems after the sequence of events on Tuesday night when every English side except West Ham netted that a random line wouldn’t be the […]

SEPT 29: EUROPA LEAGUE

Posted on: 29 Sep 2011

EUROPA LEAGUE betting is fraught with danger. Take the likes of Udinese and Spurs – two teams who regard the bread and butter of their leagues as more important than a run in a secondary European tournament. And they’re not the only ones. Throughout tonight’s card stars will be dropped as quickly as Carlos Tevez’s wage packet so check team […]

CARLOS TEVEZ SPECIALS

Posted on: 28 Sep 2011

CARLOS TEVEZ is just 8-11 with Paddy Power to never play for Man City again following his refusal to come off the bench against Bayern Munich. The Argentine striker has been suspended for two weeks and boss Roberto Mancini insists his Eastlands days are over. Paddy Power are also betting on who will win the dubious honour of signing the […]

SEPT 28: HIBS v ST JOHNSTONE

Posted on: 27 Sep 2011

Easter Road, Wednesday, 7.45pm THIS would never have been regarded as an overs game at the start of the season but both teams have run into scoring form. Hibs look to have turned the corner with seven goals in three games, although all finished as score draws, while Saints have hit four in their last four. Garry O’Connor has grabbed […]

SEPT 28: TOP TIPS

Posted on: 27 Sep 2011

TUESDAY was a night when I hit the bar big style. Three out of four draws, three out of four aways and four out of five on both teams to score. Three of my four recommendations on the Champions League came up and I correctly predicted the results of all the games not involving the Manchester clubs. Luckily I advise perming […]

SPL: RANGERS v KILMARNOCK

Posted on: 27 Sep 2011

Tuesday, Ibrox, 7.45pm RANGERS’ worst fears were confirmed with the news of Steven Naismith’s two-match ban for an elbowing offence. The top scorer has been a class act this season and will be sorely missed when the champions face Kilmarnock on Tuesday night. He normally nets against his former side if he wasn’t banned I’d be all over him for […]

SEPT 27: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 26 Sep 2011

THE less said about Sunday’s effort the better but maybe the both teams to score market is getting tougher to call. Suffice to say I managed to include a couple of 0-0s in my selections and that’s difficult to do. Championship games dominate the card on Tuesday and a few of them have let us down recently, including Cardiff v […]

SEPT 27: NORWICH v SUNDERLAND

Posted on: 26 Sep 2011

Norwich v Sunderland, Carrow Road, Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 I WARNED you it wouldn’t be a super Sunday and that’s how it transpired with fairly drab draws between QPR and Aston Villa and Cardiff and Leicester. The saving grace was I tipped draws in both and there could be another stalemate in the Monday night match-up between Norwich […]

DUNNE AND BUSTED

Posted on: 25 Sep 2011

RICHARD DUNNE took his own-goal tally to nine as his lapse earned QPR a last-gasp 1-1 draw with Aston Villa. His blunder was good news for my followers as I had tipped a draw and under 2.5 goals at Loftus Road. In fact all of three of Villa’s away games this season have ended 1-1. Dunne is 10-11 with Ladbrokes […]

SEPT 25: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 24 Sep 2011

IT was four out of five on the Scottish games on Saturday and two out of four on the English so I’ve got to be due a turn. On Sunday I’m starting with the match that was my fifth English pick, Cardiff v Leicester. I won’t go into too much more detail but suffice to say it was 2-2 when […]

SEPT 25: ST JOHNSTONE v HEARTS

Posted on: 24 Sep 2011

McDiarmid Park, Sunday, 12pm, live on ESPN TWO sides hurting from League Cup KOs meet in Perth. St Johnstone decent little spell ended with a 2-0 home defeat by St Mirren while Hearts were shocked by First Division Ayr and lost on penalties. Both will be keen to bounce back in the lunchtime showdown but it looks like they may […]

SEPT 25: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING

Posted on: 24 Sep 2011

IF it was a super Saturday for punters today is a not so super Sunday. All the big guns have already played this weekend so that leaves us with QPR v Aston Villa today and Norwich v Sunderland on Monday. Both games are tough to call and two draws (hopefully not dross) could be the way to go. QPR hit […]

CARLING CUP LATEST BETTING

Posted on: 24 Sep 2011

MAN UNITED are 11-4 favourites with Ladbrokes to win the Carling Cup after being handed a trip to Aldershot in the fourth round. The League Two men are the 300-1 tournament outsiders and it’s 2-9 the Premier League side come away with a win inside 90 minutes. Aldershot are 7-1 to record a historic victory and 5-1 to win the […]

WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH CUP

Posted on: 24 Sep 2011

SATURDAY sees the start of the William Hill Scottish Cup with ties spread far and wide. You can bet on all 17 first-round matches which involves non-league and junior clubs all hoping to progress far enough to draw a big gun. Obviously there are some no-contests and that’s reflected in the prices but a treble that offers a bit of […]

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 23 Sep 2011

IT was four out of five in midweek with only Napoli failing to score out of 10 sides. For those who did the perm it meant a small return but I’m fed up hitting the bar so let’s go for five out of five this weekend. Cardiff v Leicester was one of the sides on my midweek line and it finished 2-2. […]

SEPT 23: BRIGHTON v LEEDS

Posted on: 23 Sep 2011

Friday, live Sky Sports 1, 7.45pm BRIGHTON are back in action just 48 hours after losing to Liverpool in the Carling Cup. It’s a tough schedule for Gus Poyet’s side but one they can handle after putting up a decent fight against Kenny Dalglish’s men. Poyet stressed the Friday night meeting with Leeds was more important as they try to […]
