UNLIKE its Carling Cup counterparts, the League Cup in Scotland usually goes to form. I don’t expect many shocks in Tuesday’s games with maybe Aberdeen at home to Dundee looking in trouble while not many people would back toothless Hibs at best odds of 2-9 against anyone. They face Berwick by the way. With all teams likely to be close […]

IT’S possibly the toughest betting night of the week. As I’ve said already early rounds of the Carling Cup are minefield. Make sure you check the latest team news before having a bet and keep stakes small. The favourites who should be safe on Tuesday include Aston Villa (1-4, William Hill) v Hereford, Millwall (1-2, William Hill) v Morecambe and […]

Old Trafford, Monday, 8pm, live Sky Sports 1 SPURS may feel they’ll never have a better chance of beating Man United at Old Trafford – but I wonder how many times that’s been said since 1989. Twenty-one years ago – that was the last time the White Hart Lane men triumphed in the Theatre of Dreams. They haven’t managed […]

IT’S a big day north and south of the border with six top-flight games plus a handful of matches in the lower league. There is no doubt the one that catches the eye in the Premier League is Bolton v Man City and not because the sides sat top after week one following 4-0 victories. The excitement factor is caused by […]

IT looks like an extremely tough weekend for predictions in the Scottish Football Leagues – but as always our man Joe Wallace has been on the case in the hunt for a winning treble. We kick off in the Irn-Bru Second Division and focus on Brechin’s home clash with Dumbarton. Despite a disappointing 3-1 defeat at Cowdenbeath last weekend I […]

PETERBOROUGH were brilliant for both teams to score bets last season and they haven’t let us down this season. Darren Ferguson’s side have adapted well to life in League One and have netted five goals in their first three games. However, in four competitive games this season they haven’t kept a clean sheet and it’s a trend that could continue […]

THE SPL burst into life with goals galore last week. There were 21 in total – more than in three previous weekends. However, it could be business as usual on Saturday and Sunday so I’m focusing my both teams to score line on the SFL. Make sure your bookie takes the bets and if not the best ones for this Scots […]

THREE Scottish sides and three English ones are in European action tonight as part of a huge Europa League card. The stand-out tie is the Battle of Britain showdown between Hearts and Spurs at White Hart Lane. There’s no doubt about the difference in class between the sides and the Jambos are a biggest 9-2 with William Hill and bet365 […]

I EXPECT plenty of goals from Thursday’s Europa League matches and that means loads of opportunities on the both teams to score market. I’ll start with one that jumped out at me straight away – Braga v Young Boys. Braga have a fantastic European record, beating sides such as Celtic, Liverpool and Arsenal at home last season. Young Boys were […]

IT was a disappointing Tuesday night on the both teams to score front after a successful weekend. But I’m back for another look at Wednesday’s game although the card is limited 10 games. In other posts I’ve already tipped Cardiff v Brighton (4-5, Chandler) and Wisla Krakow v Apoel (6-5, bet365) so I’ll complete a treble with Maccaba Haifa v […]

THERE are four big games in the Championship on Wednesday and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if all were home wins. Let’s start with pre-season title favourites Leicester who need a good win against Bristol City to keep pace with West Ham who have got going with two away victories. Sven Goran Eriksson’s suffered disappointment at home to Reading […]

I’VE got a hard act to follow after 15 of the 16 teams if picked to score at the weekend did so. Only Portsmouth let me down and they missed a last-minute penalty at home to Brighton. There is a full npower card to choose from on Tuesday night and I’m sticking with some old favourites as I chase a […]

MY new text tipping service is proving popular –and anyone who subscribed and backed every punt will already have got their money back and more. I started off in great style with two winners – Motherwell v Hearts at 7-4 and Morton at Forfar at 13-10. But Spain’s friendly defeat to Italy followed by both teams not scoring in the […]

PAUL WATSON’S going to focus solely on Spanish football tips this season – and that’s great news for punters. He kicked of the campaign with a perfect haul of four recommendations on the first leg of the Super Cup clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Our man in the know’s standout prediction was over three goals at 4-1. Paul also […]

MAN CITY have a chance to put down a marker to their title rivals when they entertain Swansea at home tonight. Roberto Mancini watched Arsenal and Chelsea drop points before Man United edged out Man City with a late winner. Big-spending City are expected to beat the Swans with plenty to spare and it’s certainly the toughest of starts for […]

BOOKIES were turned over many a time with the number of goals scored in England’s top flight last season. So we welcome back the return of Premier League football with open arms and hope for more of the same. Several games shout out goals. Wolves lost 3-2 at home to Blackburn when the sides met on the final day of […]

MOST of the games in the SPL have featured one team – or even neither – scoring so far this season. So until that trend shows a sign if changing I’ll leave top-flight games off my goals rush list. I’m starting my line in Division One with two sides who have been scoring for fun. Morton have netted 15 in […]

THANK God it’s the weekend again – and another chance for some serious flutters after the midweek international friendlies! Once again our Scottish lower-league man Joe Wallace has been on the hunt for a winning treble and we start in the IRN-BRU First Division as Hamilton entertain Ross County. Accies have been in decent form after slumping down from the […]

Sheff Wed v Blackpool, Carling Cup, Hillsborough 7.45pm BLACKPOOL and Sheffield Wednesday started the season well with victories and are evenly-matched for Thursday’s Carling Cup clash. As it was on Tuesday and Wednesday picking a winner isn’t easy so instead why not focus on goals. Both sides have scored in their last six so you’ve got to fancy both to […]

GOLF’S stars tee it up in the USPGA Championship on Thursday with America having one last chance to claim a Major this season. Charl Schwartzel, Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke have taken the first three big ones of the season and McIlroy is the bookies favourite in Atlanta. McIlroy finished in the top 10 at Firestone last week and […]

I MANAGED to pick up a couple of wins on Tuesday but Carling Cup results meant the usual carnage for punters. The failure of Championship sides such as Ipswich, Hull, Derby, Burnley, Barnsley and Portsmouth reiterated the fact that betting on the early stages of this competition is a minefield. There were two more games scheduled for Wednesday but the Bristol Rovers v […]

SOMETIMES the both teams to score market is much more appealing than taking win-draw-win. One such case is Tuesday’s League Cup matches where there are bound to be shocks. Avoiding them is to key to punters’ success but with BTTS you just need goals. And remember to check for call-offs in the London area with Charlton v Reading and West […]

OUR new Text Tips service was launched yesterday – and kicked off with a winner. My top advice was to take Motherwell to beat Hearts in the SPL and they edged a 1-0 success. Text Tips sponsors Paddy Power were a biggest 7-4 on Stuart McCall’s men and that encouraged me to make them my best bet of the day. […]
