LIVERPOOL are odds on with Ladbrokes to win a major trophy under Kenny Dalglish. And Dalglish is 5-6 to see out his newly-signed three-year contract in charge of the club. The Scot is 5-1 to steer City to the title and 14-1 to ever witn the Champions League. Liverpool are 10-1 to win the league next season with the odds […]

IT was tense and tight in the opening play-off encounter on Thursday and the theme could continue at Reading on Friday. Nottingham Forest missed a chance to take a march into the final when Swansea were reduced to 10 men at the City Ground in the first minute. But the Welsh held firm and the sides start the second leg […]

MANCHESTER CITY are 4-9 with Ladbrokes to be the top spenders in the next transfer window. With a Champions League spot secured the bookies expect the club to get the cheque book out and go 7-4 they sign a player for more than £50 million. It’s 14-1 they win the Champions League with 4-9 the price they qualify from their […]

SWANSEA are quite rightly favourites to win the Championship play-offs but may have to do it the hard way against Nottingham Forest. The teams clash in the semi-final first leg at the City Ground and you’d think Forest would need a home win to have any chance of progressing. Only Leicester in the top half of the Championship lost more […]

BOOKIES aren’t seeing much money on Tiger Woods despite William Hill quoting him at 14-1 to win the Players Championship. Woods came close to winning the US Masters before sitting out injured but he’ll be back in the hunt at Sawgrass. Phile Mickelson is equally friendless at 16-1 with Hills who have been seeing money on Sergio Garcia at 55-1. […]

IT’S a big night in the SPL at the top and bottom. Rangers should take a giant step towards the title with victory against Dundee United. At the foot Hamilton have closed the gap on St Mirren to just three points from 12 but look to have left the revival too late. Rangers will pip Celtic for the championship if […]

MY main recommendation on the Fulham v Liverpool was both teams to score at 11-10 with Skybet. The 5-2 away win means every Premier League netted at the weekend to leave bookies with massive payouts on this incredibly popular market. So let’s stay with the trend and take both teams to score when Man City entertain Spurs. City look to […]

I WENT big on Man United to beat Chelsea and they didn’t let me down with a dazzling display. That’s the title wrapped up as far as I’m concerned with Sir Alex Ferguson’s side needing just a point from their final two matches against relegation candidates Blackburn and Chelsea. Bookies agree and the Blues are 200-1 with various firms to […]

TWO of the Premier League’s form sides meet at Craven Cottage on Monday night and it’s difficult to split the sides. Fulham still have a chance of finishing a joint best seventh in the table after winning their last two games 3-0. Liverpool can end up as high as fifth after being transformed by the arrival of Kenny Dalglish. One […]

THIS is it for Celtic. Lose at Kilmarnock and it’s really all over. Neil Lennon’s side are now fighting for their lives after giving Rangers the edge with that 3-2 defeat at Inverness on Wednesday. Rangers rubberstamped their title favourites tag by hammering Hearts 4-0 on Saturday to ease four points clear and cut the goal difference to one. So […]

IT won’t be settled on Sunday but you have to imagine the team that wins at Old Trafford will go on to lift the title. There is no question the momentum is with Chelsea who will climb above Man United on goal difference with a win. But at home this season the Reds have been virtually unbeatable with only one […]

I TIPPED Braga to reach the Final before their Europa League semi-final first leg at Benfica – and I’m standing by that decision. The side that very much lives in the shadow of big two Benfica and Porto are ready to emerge on to the top stage – but unfortunately for them it’s Porto next if they reach the Europa […]

CELTIC should return to the top of the SPL tonight by avoiding defeat at Inverness. The Hoops are one point behind Rangers with a game in a hand so can afford to draw one of their final four games and still lift the title thanks to their better goal difference. However, after a thumping 4-1 win against Dundee United I’m […]

MAN UNITED should see off Schalke to take their place in the Champions League Final – but bookies have already made Barcelona heavy favourites to win the trophy. Barca completed a two-legged 3-1 win against fierce foes Real Madrid to book their Wembley place and are 4-9 with Ladbrokes to go all the way. United are 13-8. United blew away […]

QPR are 4-11 to remain winners of the Championship following their hearing on Tuesday according to Ladbrokes. They’re 8-1 to end up in second position with a play-offs berth the most likely final position at 3-1 should there be any punishment. It’s 12-1 they don’t get promoted at all. Norwich are already in the Promised Land and bet365 and Ladbrokes rate […]

BOOKIES were pretty relieved as Judd Trump missed on his first World Snooker title. I tipped John Higgins pre-tournament and advised a saver on the Englishman at plus 4.5 frames at the start of the Final. But one punter from Harrogate missed out on a £10,000 windfall after betting Trump would lift the title before his 30th birthday. Neil Morrice, […]

ANYONE tuning into El Clasico over the last few weeks would have witnessed Hell Clasico instead. There have been more red cards than goals in three meetings between Barcelona and Real Madrid in three different tournaments. Barca’s total football was in danger of being snuffed out by Jose Mourinho’s spoiling tactics until Lionel Messi decided enough was enough. After both […]

JUDD TRUMP is on course to win the World Snooker Championship after carving out a three-frame lead over John Higgins. The 21-year-old Englishman leads 10-7 going into day two and is now 8-13 favourite with tournament sponsors Betfred. Higgins, who started the match as favourite, is out to 6-4 with the likes of Coral, bet365 and Chandler. I tipped the […]

ST MIRREN need just a point against Hamilton to secure SPL safety – and they could get all three. The Buddies are nine points clear of bottom dogs Accies and playing with renewed confidence. In their last six their only defeats have been one-goal ones to either half of the Old Firm and they recently beat Hamilton 3-1 at home. […]

ONE former Celtic star will be hoping for a huge favour from another on Bank Holiday Monday as Norwich fight Cardiff for a place in the Premier League. Paul Lambert’s Canaries hold the upperhand and a victory at Portsmouth combined with a Cardiff defeat at home to Middlesbrough will clinch their place in the top flight. This is one that […]

IT seems an age ago since I posted my World Snooker preview. I picked three of the four semi-finalists – and no prizes for guessing the player I left out. My outright tip was John Higgins at 11-2 and I predicted Mark Williams and Ding Junhui to reach the last four. But like many others I didn’t see wonderboy Judd […]

I’VE been a bit under to pressure to pick four draws for the first time this season – and I thought I had it on Saturday. Four’s tough to do but punters love to have a small stake on it and going into injury time it looked like I’d done it. Wigan 1, Everton 1; Rochdale 2, Peterborough 2; Killie […]

RANGERS put down a marker to Celtic with their 5-0 Saturday romp at Motherwell. It was a stunning display by Walter Smith’s men on a day when many were tipping them to slip up against the in-form Scottish Cup finalists. So Rangers are four points clear of Celtic whose games in hands are Dundee United at home on Sunday and […]

CHELSEA are staring into the whites of Man United’s eyes after their controversial win against Spurs on Saturday night. The Blues have closed the gap on their rivals to three points but that will double to six if Sir Alex Ferguson’s side win at Arsenal on Sunday. With Chelsea still to face the Reds it will be a massive 90 […]

WILLIAM HILL are paying out to customers who bet QPR (10-1 pre-season) to win the Championship after they clinched the title with a 2-0 win at Watford. The club could be hit by a fine or points deduction when the FA meet next week to discuss a problem over third-party ownership of a player they signed. Punters have been concerned […]
