BRIGHTON ROCKING

Posted on: 30 Mar 2011

BRIGHTON were rocking on Tuesday as they stormed 13 points clear at the top of League One – and Paddy Power have joined the party by paying out on them as champions. Punters who backed them at prices up to 14-1 have been handed an early windfall by the Irish firm. The decision will cost Paddy Power in the region […]

SFL TREBLE: 29 MARCH

Posted on: 29 Mar 2011

IT’S another action-packed midweek in the Scottish Football Leagues – and another chance to beat the bookies. And once again our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been doing his homework in the hunt for a winning treble. We start in the Irn-Bru First Division and focus on Falkirk’s trip to face Cowdenbeath. Steven Pressley’s Bairns have suffered an inconsistent season […]

OLDHAM v TRANMERE: BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 28 Mar 2011

THERE wasn’t much Sunday football – but we produced our fair share of winners. I was three out of three on my npower recommendations thanks to Huddersfield, no to both teams to score at Huddersfield who beat Notts County 3-0 and yes to both teams to score as Gillingham won 2-1 at Cheltenham. The treble paid 7-1. And Euro and […]

MARCH 27: ENGLISH BETTING

Posted on: 26 Mar 2011

THE Scotland game apart it’s quiet day in the world of football. There are four games in the npower leagues and out of them best bets looks to be Oxford at home to Burton. Oxford have been inconsistent but should beat a Burton side who have won once in five. Chandler and Coral go 5-6 Oxford. The only game in League […]

SFL TREBLE: 26 MARCH

Posted on: 26 Mar 2011

THE focus is on the Scottish Football Leagues this weekend as SPL players sit it out thanks to the international break. And our man Joe Wallace has been on the case in the hunt for a winning treble. We start in the Irn-Bru First Division and focus on Queen of the South’s home clash with Stirling. Albion are staring relegation […]

WALES v ENGLAND LATEST

Posted on: 24 Mar 2011

LADBROKES  have cut the odds of an England victory at the Millennium Stadium from 4-9 to 2-5 following news Welsh superstar Gareth Bale has been ruled out of Saturday’s game. The winger, a favourite for Player of the Year, is still hopeful of playing in Spurs’ Champions League game in Barcelona on April 5. Wayne Rooney is Ladbrokes’ favourite to […]

MARCH 26: ENGLISH TREBLE

Posted on: 24 Mar 2011

PETERBOROUGH let us down badly on Monday when they lost 1-0 at MK Dons. Darren Ferguson’s side not scoring was less predictable than Ken Clarke falling asleep during the Budget. But hopefully the League One play-off hopefuls are wide awake for Friday night’s visit to Bristol Rovers. It’s impossible to see Peterborough – who had netted 19 in their previous […]

MARCH 26: WEEKEND EARLY PICK

Posted on: 24 Mar 2011

LIVINGSTON have got to be the side to be on at the weekend. Gary Bollan’s men are charging towards the title and Ayr’s defeat on Monday means the gap is 16 points but Ayr have two matches in hand. The title’s definitely on its way to Almondvale and I’m sure Bollan will want it wrapped up as quickly as possible. […]

PADDY POWER F1 PREVIEW

Posted on: 23 Mar 2011

SEBASTIAN VETTEL is Paddy Power’s 9-4 favourite to retain his crown as the Formula One prepares to finally get off the starting grid for the new season. After the enforced two-week delay punters have been piling into their pre-season bets – and the impressive Red Bulls are their choice to do it again. Vettel will no doubt be made to […]

MARCH 23: AYR v FORFAR BETTING

Posted on: 23 Mar 2011

FANCY a breath of fresh Ayr – then have a punt on Wednesday’s game at Ayr. The Scottish Second Division clash is the only game taking place in Britain – and bookies don’t expect big business. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make big bucks with Ayr decent value at 10-11 with Ladbrokes. The Honest Men will be keen to […]

GOLF: TIGER WOODS BETTING

Posted on: 23 Mar 2011

FOR the first time in almost two years William Hill can report Tiger Woods’ backers are back in force. Woods is 7-1 to win the Arnold Palmer that starts on Thursday and so-far he has attracted more than half of the early money. Tiger is 1-7 to make the cut and 4-7 for a top-10 finish but if you think […]

SNOOKER: CRUCIBLE LATEST

Posted on: 23 Mar 2011

MARK SELBY was the main mover in the betting with Coral following the first-round draw for the World Snooker Championship. The 2007 runner-up was given a favourable run and cut to 13-2 from 8-1. John Higgins and Ronnie O’Sullivan are 11-2 joint favourites with Coral to win. Spokesman Gary Burton said: “This is the most open championship for many years […]

ST. JOHNSTONE v BRECHIN TIPS

Posted on: 22 Mar 2011

CELTIC’S treble bid is over and after their Co-op Cup Final defeat to Rangers they are 7-2 with William Hill to finish the season empty-handed. That’s unlikely as Neil Lennon’s men are favourites to win the Scottish Cup and still top the SPL from Rangers, although the Ibrox men can leapfrog them by winning their game in hand. The Hoops […]

MIDWEEK SFL TREBLE: 22 MARCH

Posted on: 22 Mar 2011

IT’S international week and players from the SPL will be putting their feet up for a well-earned rest. But it’s business as usual in the SFL as teams attempt to play catch-up after so many games were postponed during the harsh winter. And once again our lower-league man Joe Wallace has been on the case in the hunt for a […]

OLD FIRM GOLD FIRM

Posted on: 21 Mar 2011

SO how was your weekend? Mine was much improved after the Co-operative Cup Final and wins or Chelsea and Liverpool in the Premier League. Now I hope to make a decent weekend a brilliant one with goals galore in tonight’s MK Dons v Peterborough clash (see preview). My well-followed Bonkers Bet once again landed with Celtic 1, Rangers 1 after […]

MK DONS v PETERBORO BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 21 Mar 2011

INTERNATIONAL weekend has forced TV crews to slum it down in League One tonight. But fans tuning in the game could be treated to a thrilling contest. MK Dons v Peterborough doesn’t have the same ring as Chelsea v Man Utd or Celtic v Rangers – but it could be just as enthralling. Peterborough are as entertaining as Spurs, as […]

CO-OP CUP FINAL: CELTIC v RANGERS

Posted on: 20 Mar 2011

IT’S Old Firm derby No.6 of the season and it’s a fixture you’ll never tire of watching. The quality of football isn’t always the best but the atmosphere makes up for a lot of the failings. Passions are sure to run high today when Celtic and Rangers contest the Co-op Cup Final at Hampden. Tensions boiled over when the sides […]

RUGBY: SIX NATIONS BETTING

Posted on: 19 Mar 2011

ENGLAND are odds-on to win the Grand Slam today by beating Ireland in Dublin. They struggled to beat Scotland last week but with the big prize at stake I expect an improvement from Martin Johnson’s men. England are 8-15 with Ladbrokes to win the Triple Crown and Grand Slam with a victory while the Irish are 6-4. Scotland pushed the […]

MARCH 19: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 18 Mar 2011

WITH the wintry weather of last weekend relenting we should finally have a full card in the Scottish Football League. And once again our man Joe Wallace has been on the case searching for a winning lower-league treble. Last weekend Livingston’s home clash with Peterhead was postponed robbing us of a decent pay-out. But at least wins for Dundee and […]

WEEKEND EARLY PICK

Posted on: 18 Mar 2011

MY record’s down to 50 per cent so looking for a win this weekend to boost the figure. And I make no apologies for siding with Third Division amateurs Queen’s Park They brought up the single a couple of weeks ago and have maintained their great form with six wins in seven. The other was a 3-3 draw with fellow […]

CHELSEA v COPENHAGEN BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 16 Mar 2011

CHELSEA are certain to make it three English sides in the last eight of the Champions League on Wednesday. The Blues took advantage of a favourable draw by winning 2-0 in Denmark in the first leg. Carlo Ancelotti’s men should be in a relaxed frame of mind at Stamford Bridge and ready to add to their lead. They don’t need […]

WEDNESDAY’S SCOTTISH TIPS: 16 MARCH

Posted on: 15 Mar 2011

AWAY from the Champions League all the focus on Wednesday is north of the border. There are three huge games – two in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals and one in the SPL. Let’s start with a match that’s been hastily rearranged, Inverness v Celtic. I tipped a draw when the tie should have taken place on Sunday – and I […]

MARCH 15: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 14 Mar 2011

THE games just keep coming in the Scottish Football Leagues – and our man Joe Wallace has been doing his homework again in the hunt for a winning treble. On Saturday Livingston’s home clash with Peterhead was postponed but the other two selections came up trumps with Ayr defeating Alloa 1-0 and Dundee running out 2-1 winners over Queen of […]

MARCH 15: ENGLISH TIPS

Posted on: 14 Mar 2011

OFTEN midweek matches don’t go to form and you have sides who are more of “weekend specialists”. At first glance at the midweek card two sides jumped out at me – Orient and Peterborough. Both are flying in League One, with Peterborough in particular looking unstoppable in recent weeks (at both ends). Despite their form they are priced quite highly […]

MARCH 15: SCOTTISH TIPS

Posted on: 14 Mar 2011

IT’S SFL or nothing on Tuesday night with Scottish Cup and SPL matches on Wednesday. My esteemed colleague Joe Wallace will flag up his treble and I’m sure he’ll feature the likes of Raith Rovers, Dunfermline and Livingston. I’m looking a little bit out of the box and making a case for five sides who could win away from home.
 […]
