MAY 29: HUDDERSFIELD v PETERBOROUGH

Posted on: 28 May 2011

THE first English play-off final was disappointing and only watchable from my viewpoint as my two recommendations proved right. I tipped Stevenage for promotion and under 2.5 goals in their clash against Torquay. To be fair it always looked like one goals would settle the contest either way but that’s not the case with Sunday’s League One final between Huddersfield […]

MAY 28: STEVENAGE v TORQUAY

Posted on: 27 May 2011

THE English play-off finals kick off on Saturday with Stevenage taking on Torquay. There was little between the sides in the regular season with Stevenage finishing one point ahead of their opponents so this is a tough one to call. Historically, Torquay have the edge and are unbeaten in the six meetings between the sides but Stevenage’s 3-0 semi-final aggregate success […]

REDKNAPP FOR CHELSEA

Posted on: 26 May 2011

HARRY REDKNAPP is now odds on be the next Chelsea boss after a day of frenetic betting. The Spurs boss was heavily backed with firms all day and Ladbrokes now go 4-6. Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Donohue said: “Punters have gone Redknapp-mad. Even at odds on we can’t stop laying him.” Guus Hiddink is 5-2 second favourites with Marco van Basten […]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFERS

Posted on: 25 May 2011

IT’S one of the biggest betting events of the season – and bookies are pulling out all stops to capture a share of the business on the Champions League Final. Three firms – Paddy Power, bet365, Skybet – have set the tone with a couple of incredible promotions. If Barcelona win in normal time Paddy Power will refund losing correct […]

WIMBLEDON SPECIALS

Posted on: 22 May 2011

AFC WIMBLEDON are 14-1 with Ladbrokes to knock out a Premier League club in either of the two domestic Cup competitions next season. Having secured their return to the Football League, the club are just 3-1 to be promoted again next season. They are 12-1 to win the league and 14-1 to make an immediate return to non-league football. Ladbrokes […]

SURVIVAL SUNDAY AFTERMATCH

Posted on: 22 May 2011

THE three clubs relegated from the Premier League are 66-1 with Ladbrokes to all bounce straight back up. It’s a tall order and out of West Ham (2-1), Blackpool (11-2) and Birmingham (9-4) I’d back the Seasiders if they can keep the bulk of their squad together. Ian Holloway did a magnificent job and if his side score goals like they […]

CHELSEA BOSS LATEST

Posted on: 22 May 2011

GUUS HIDDINK is the 11-10 favourite with Ladbrokes to replace Carlo Anclelotti as manager of Chelsea but William Hill reckon Andre Villas-Boa will get the job. It certainly looks like an early battle between the two but the difference of opinion is huge. If you fancy Porto’s treble-winning boss to be next in line at the Bridge take the 6-1 […]

MAY 22: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 21 May 2011

THERE are plenty to games to look at on Sunday with bookies pricing up games all over Europe. I tipped one of them on Saturday as part of a fivefold and it’s only fair I start with that. My first pick is the Second Division play-off final second leg between Annan v Albion Rovers. Annan start 3-1 down and boss […]

MAY 22: SURVIVAL SUNDAY

Posted on: 21 May 2011

FIRST we had Helicopter Sunday – now it’s Survival Sunday. And there’s no question which is more glamorous. Fighting to avoid the drop from the Premier League is no fun at all and this season five teams are trying to stay up. Wigan, Blackpool, Birmingham, Blackburn and Wolves are the sides who don’t want to join West Ham in the […]

MAY 21: SCOTTISH CUP FINAL

Posted on: 21 May 2011

CELTIC hammered Motherwell 4-0 last week and are no bigger than 1-4 with the likes of Coral and McBookie.com to repeat the result at Hampden on Saturday. Neil Lennon is hot favourite to lift his first trophy as boss and I reckon it will be third time lucky for him after narrow misses in the League Cup Final and SPL. […]

MAY 21, 22: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 20 May 2011

WITH only the Premier League still battling out we’ll look far and wide in an attempt to keep this popular punt going through the summer. There are plenty of matches priced up in various countries but you’ll have to find the bookie who best serves your needs. For this weekend you want one who covers the SFL play-offs. I reckon […]

MAY 20: PLAY-OFFS

Posted on: 20 May 2011

I’VE tipped two out of two play-off finals but the odds are stacked against me making it three in a row. I successfully predicted Swansea v Reading and Huddersfield v Peterborough but went for Shrewsbury v Accrington. And the odds are stacked against my sides making the Old Trafford final after 2-0 first-leg away defeats. Both have good home records […]

PLAY-OFF: PETERBOROUGH v MK DONS

Posted on: 19 May 2011

ANYONE who has been following my tips this season will know Peterborough have been one of my star teams. Hopefully we’ve all won money backing the overs and both teams to score in their matches. I advised both bets for their League One play-off semi-final first leg at MK Dons and they duly lost 3-2 after being reduced to 10 […]

SUPER SINGLE AND TOP TREBLE

Posted on: 18 May 2011

GOING by the comments you’ve been impressed with some of my recent tips. It started well on Sunday with Rangers minus two and Celtic minus two as well as Gary Hooper and Kyle Lafferty to score first in the games at Parkhead and Rugby Park. On Monday I tipped Swansea to beat Nottingham Forest in 90 minutes and Stephen Dobbie […]

MAY 18: PLAY-OFFS

Posted on: 18 May 2011

HUDDERSFIELD let slip a first-leg lead in their play-off semi-final with Bournemouth but should put the tie to bed on Wednesday. Lee Clark’s side extended their unbeaten record to 26 games but seemed to tire in the second half and were lucky to escape with a draw after dominating for the first hour. That’s a slight concern but urged on […]

EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL: PORTO v BRAGA

Posted on: 18 May 2011

THERE haven’t been hotter favourites than Porto to win a Euro final in recent seasons. The Portuguese champs, who went through the league season unbeaten, face familiar foes in Dublin tonight. And it could be as one-sided as their domestic campaign against a Braga outfit who have punched above their weight all season. Celtic, Arsenal, Liverpool, Sevilla and Benfica – […]

PLAY-OFFS: CARDIFF v READING

Posted on: 16 May 2011

SWANSEA as expected stormed into the play-off final – but who will they meet? It’s either Cardiff for an explosive all Welsh Wembley final or former Swans boss Brendan Rodgers’ club Reading. I was absolutely convinced Swansea would beat Forest in 90 minutes and also recommended a punt on Stephen Dobbie to score at 9-4 so it was a good […]

ENGLISH PREMIER LATEST

Posted on: 16 May 2011

MAN UNITED are 2-1 favourites to win next season’s Premier League title with William Hill – and 4-1 to do so by beating Chelsea into second place. Hills make Chelsea 9-4 second favourites for the 2011-12 title and also offer 7-2 Man City, 5-1 Arsenal, 12-1 Liverpool, 33-1 Spurs and 150-1 Everton and Villa. Spokesman Graham Sharpe said: “The early […]

TENNIS: FRENCH OPEN COUNTDOWN

Posted on: 16 May 2011

NOVAK DJOKOVIC’S win in the Rome Masters extended the Serbian’s unbeaten run to 39 games and edged him closer towards breaking the all-time record for an unbeaten run. Paddy Power have been forced to cut the odds to 13-8 on him breaking Guillermo Villas record of 46 consecutive matches set in 1977. He is also odds on at 1-4 to […]

PLAY-OFFS: SWANSEA v FOREST

Posted on: 16 May 2011

I SAID last week Nottingham Forest needed to take a lead to Swansea to have a hope of reaching the Championship play-off final – and I stand by that. Forest were held 0-0 at home despite playing against 10 men and Billy Davies’ side never really got to grips with the situation. Swansea look comfortable on home soil and are […]

MAY 15: EPL SUPER SUNDAY

Posted on: 14 May 2011

I’VE tagged this Super Sunday but it’s more like sleepy Sunday after the big issue was settled on Saturday. Man United scrambled the point they needed at Blackburn to clinch the title to leave Chelsea playing for runners-up spot when they tackle Newcastle at home. Chelsea did well to keep the race alive for so long and will know they […]

SPL: HELICOPTER SUNDAY

Posted on: 14 May 2011

IT’S Helicopter Sunday – but is it worth the pilot’s bother to even rotate the blades. He could simply save a bit of hassle by parking up at Rugby Park and waiting for the final whistle to sound on a chaotic SPL season. Rangers need to beat Kilmarnock to guarantee a third successive title and I can’t see them slipping […]

BOOKIES PAY OUT ON ADAM ROONEY

Posted on: 14 May 2011

PUNTERS were singing the praises of Paddy Power after the bookies agreed to pay out on two first scorers in the midweek Inverness v Hibs match. The decision thrilled one customer who pocketed a bumper £9200. Jamie Stewart of Paisley contacted me after the official arbiters of first goals credited Rooney then changed to give the opener to Richie Foran. […]

FA CUP FINAL: MAN CITY v STOKE

Posted on: 13 May 2011

WHAT a contrast at Wembley today as the haves try to wrestle the FA Cup from the have nots. Man City are bidding to lift their first trophy in 35 years and no dime has been left unturned in their quest for glory. Opponents Stoke, on the other hand, are more about mettle than money and have even been branded […]
