WE welcomed readers back in huge numbers over the weekend and it was a bit of a betting mixed bag. My English tips fared OK on Saturday but Shrewsbury conceding a last-minute equaliser to Plymouth bombed a decent homes return while Oxford’s failure to score at Rotherham denied me a win on the both teams to score market. However, fortunes […]

NANI’S last-gasp winner left bookies reeling as Man United hit back from 2-0 down to win the Community Shield. Despite the five-goal thriller I was spot on with my prediction that the first goal would be scored after the 31st minute. That paid 23-20 with William Hill. Bookies were preparing to toast a penalty shoot-out with moments to go until […]

Man City v Man Utd, Community Shield, Wembley, Sunday, 2.30pm IT’S more than a friendly – but not much more. Man Utd v Man City is usually a fiercely-fought derby but the Community Shield meeting at Wembley might not be much more than an exhibition. The traditional curtain-raiser to the Premier League season is staged at Wembley on Sunday and […]

West Ham v Cardiff, English Championship, Sunday, 1pm WEST HAM saw joint Championship favourites Leicester open with a win on Saturday and Sam Allardyce’s men will be desperate to make a similar flying start. The Hammers face an interesting test against a Cardiff side much-changed in manager and personnel. Allardyce is under pressure to deliver success right away and return […]

PUNTERS couldn’t get enough of the goals galore markets and it will be the same this season despite obvious price cuts. Backing both teams to score gives you a serious run for the money and is especially popular with armchair fans who can watch the goalflashes and tick off the sides they have backed. I’ll start this weekend’s line with […]

THIS weekend sees all the action return north of the border in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues. And after a summer of sunbathing our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been on the case to try to bring a little ray of sunshine into punters’ lives in the shape of a winning treble. We start in the First Division and a […]

ALL the money has been on Leicester and West Ham as they bid to get their Championship campaign up and running. Blackpool have been cut from 22-1 to 16-1 joint third favourites with Hills after their 1-0 at Hull but the big two will be the ones to beat. If I had to pick one I’d go for Sam Allardyce’s […]

Hull v Blackpool, English Championship, Friday 19.45pm IT’S seemed a long time coming but the English season crackles to life on Friday night. Pre-season hasn’t been that long really but the early kick-off by the Scots has left us craving a return to normal. And as someone cruelly said you know it’s the start of the English season when Rangers are […]

ENGLAND have been cut to 14-1 by Coral to win the World Cup after being handed a favourable draw. Skybet stick on 16-1 and Coral make them 1-6 to qualify for Brazil 2014 and 2-5 to win Group H after being paired with Ukraine, Poland, Montenegro, Moldova and San Marino. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is Coral’s 6-4 favourite to be […]

THE SPL started earlier than ever before but it’s yet to catch fire. Last weekend’s six games produced just nine goals and so far the week two matches have seen just four goals in four games. None of those four featured both teams to score and the only first-half strike was Steven Naismith’s 31st-minute effort against St Johnstone. If the […]

WE’RE still a week away from the start of the English leagues so again this line has to focus on Scotland. There are five SPL games this weekend and 15 ties in the League Cup. Punters will hoping for more than the nine goals produced by top-flight teams last week even if there is one game fewer. Last week’s games […]

YOU might not realise it but the English football season kicks off on Friday night with Crawley Town taking on AFC Wimbledon. The League Two new boys are playing off to see who takes part in the Carling Cup first round due to Birmingham’s involvement in Europe. Crawley have possibly been the most hyped team of the summer and are […]

MARIO BALOTELLI is 10-1 to score with a backheel in the Premier League this season despite missing his outrageous effort in Manchester City’s friendly with LA Galaxy. Paddy Power are also betting on how long it takes boss Roberto Mancini’s patience to snap with the volatile forward. It’s 7-2 he’s shipped out of Manchester before the end of the year […]

THE SPL season is just three days old and already there is talk of a crisis at Ibrox. That’s nonsense, of course, because you can’t lose the title on the first weekend but bookies have reacted fairly strongly to the Old Firm’s opening results. McBookie.com, for example, have cut Celtic to 8-15 favourites after their 2-0 win at Hibs. Rangers […]

RANGERS made just the slow start Celtic wanted on Saturday and the Hoops should take advantage by taking an early lead in the title race. The July start has concerned some teams who don’t feel their ready and that looked the case for Rangers who took time to get going before battling back to draw with Hearts. Celtic will hope […]

ONE of the most popular markets last season was both teams to score. I had some success on it and around the country it seemed punters were collecting regularly. So it’s good to see quite a few firms pricing up Ramsdens Cup games as SFL sides kick off the news campaign on day one of the SPL season. Looking at […]

RAFA NADAL has lost his world No.1 spot but isn’t likely to give up on his Wimbledon crown. The Spaniard has looked virtually unstoppable as he tries to left a third successive title at SW19. Nadal was at his imperious best against Andy Murray in the semi-finals and now tackles new world No.1 Novak Djokovic. Betfred go 8-13 on Nadal […]
Posted on: 01 Jul 2011
ANDY MURRAY is 2-5 with bet365 never to win a Wimbledon singles title after another semi-final defeat by Rafael Nadal. Murray is 5-6 with the firm not to win a Grand Slam before 2014 and 5-1 to be knocked out of next year’s Wimbledon by the Spaniard at the semi-final stage for the third year running. He is 7-4 to […]
Posted on: 01 Jul 2011
MARIA SHARPOVA has looked the woman to beat the last two weeks and is a short-priced 1-2 favourite with Ladbrokes to capture the singles crown on Saturday. The Russian has stormed to the Final and instead of the Williams sisters or even world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki she will look across the net to find No.8 seed Petra Kvitova. Sharapova won […]

ARGENTINA kick off Copa America in the early hours of Saturday morning and are dead certs to win. The hosts are a biggest 1-9 with Stan James to beat Bolivia and a convincing home win looks on the card. At 1-9 you won’t get rich quick son instead consider them at 3-10 (888sport) minus one or 5-6 (Coral) minus two. […]

ONLY Roger Federer has failed to join the big four party at Wimbledon after his shock defeat to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semi-finals. Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray all eased through but six-time champ Fed busted thousands of lines as he threw away a two-set lead. I had tipped the world’s best four to contest the semis so […]

IT’S women’s semi-final day at Wimbledon and even without the Williams sisters we have two cracking matches in store. The best could be between title favourite Maria Sharapova and wild-card hopeful Sabine Lisicki. Sharapova has powered her way to the last four with few difficulties and is a best 2-5 at Betfred to beat the German. It’s hard to see […]
Posted on: 28 Jun 2011
IT’S men’s quarter-final day and as suspected the big four remain contention. While there have been shocks galore among the women, no one has so far been able to touch Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray. I predicted all four to make the semis and that paid 11-8 at the start. It’s now 8-11 with William Hill […]
