FEB 12: SCOTTISH LEAGUE TREBLE

Posted on: 11 Feb 2011

STARTING from this week followers of MrFixitsTips can get the inside knowledge on what is happening in the Scottish Football League thanks to this new weekly column by Joe Wallace. And more importantly I will be giving punters what will hopefully be a winning treble each week. Kicking us off this weekend is the First Division and we focus on […]

WEEKEND: EARLY PICK

Posted on: 10 Feb 2011

MY new feature got off to a flier last week with Nottingham Forest beating Watford. They were 4-5 when I flagged them up and much lower with some firms at kick-off. This weekend’s selection is being posted a bit later because of the busy internationals card but hopefully it will give you a head start. At first glance at the […]

CARLING NATIONS CUP LATEST

Posted on: 10 Feb 2011

WE love the Carling Nations Cup. That’s two matches and two winners – both pretty convincingly. Last night it was the turn of Scotland at a very tasty 13-10 and they duly demolished Northern Ireland in Dublin. My first-scorer tip was Kenny Miller at 5-1 and he bagged the opener. Several other bets came up including an Old Firm player […]

HUGH BEAUTY FOR BAGGIES

Posted on: 10 Feb 2011

MICHAEL APPLETON has been heavily backed for the West Brom but Chris Hughton still remains favourite to pip him for the post. Bookies cut caretaker boss Appleton from 7-1 to 5-2 second favourite behind former Newcastle gaffer Hughton who is 6-4. Ladbrokes also brought Roy Hodgson in from 10-1 to 5-1 but Sam Allardyce is out from 5-1 to 12-1. […]

GOLF: DUBAI DESERT CLASSIC

Posted on: 10 Feb 2011

TIGER WOODS returns to one of his favourite venues when he lines up against the likes of Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer in Dubai. The two Europeans have climbed above Woods during the American’s slump and it should be an interesting battle. Woods is 13-2 with William Hill and Coral to win in Dubai but is second favourite behind German […]

FEBRUARY 8: FOOTBALL LEAGUE BETS

Posted on: 08 Feb 2011

BRENTFORD battled through to the JTP Wembley final last night as I predicted – but who will they meet? It will certainly be an all League One affair with Huddersfield hosting Carlisle tonight. Carlisle are massive odds on at 1-20 with William Hill to clinch their place after coasting the first leg 4-0. I’ve heard people say Huddersfield are capable […]

JPT TROPHY: EXETER v BRENTFORD

Posted on: 07 Feb 2011

EXETER hold the advantage as they bid for a place at Wembley tonight in the second leg of the JTP Trophy South Final. They battled to a 1-1 draw at Brentford but there is so little between the sides the outcome could be the same tonight. Two meetings this season have resulted in 1-1 draws and a third pays 6-1 […]

RUGBY: SIX NATIONS LATEST

Posted on: 07 Feb 2011

ENGLAND are 6-5 favourites to win the Six Nations after the first round of matches. William Hill make France not far behind at 6-4 while England are 11-5 to win the Grand Slam and 10-11 the Triple Crown. Spokesman Rupert Adams said:  “The odds suggest the Six Nations is a two-horse race, with home advantage swinging the betting towards an […]

SUPERBOWL: WE’RE OFF AND WINNING

Posted on: 06 Feb 2011

WELL, it’s not often I pick a winner before a game actually starts – but it happened this evening. Being a Super Bowl expert, I focused not on the match but the pre-match with Christina Aguilera singing the national anthem. Paddy Power were offering 9-1 it took her longer than 135 seconds but I advised punters to take bodog’s 2-1 […]

TORRES MISSES BULLSEYE

Posted on: 06 Feb 2011

FERNANDO TORRES’ failure to score on his Chelsea debut saved bookies a fortune. Liverpool’s surprise 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge saw their odds cut to 4-1 with Ladbrokes for a top-four finish (from 8-1) but they are 250-1 for the title. Chelsea are out to 8-1 with Manchester United solid 8-13 favourites despite their weekend defeat at Wolves. Torres was […]

SUPER BOWL COUNTDOWN

Posted on: 06 Feb 2011

WIDE RECEIVER won the 2.50 at Fontwell Park hours before the Super Bowl party started to net a fortune for lucky Ladbrokes punters. The bookies were counting the cost of the 13-2 winner after the horse trained by CP Mortlock hit the front just as punters began to think about placing their bets on the Green Bay Packers v Pittsburgh […]

SUPER BOWL NOVELTY BETS

Posted on: 06 Feb 2011

GREEN BAY PACKERS are favourites to win the Super Bowl in the wee small hours of Monday morning. I reckon they’ll edge out the Pittsburgh Steelers in a low scorer but remember favourites have won just 24 of the 44 previous clashes. Interest in the match is massive with bookies reporting a 50 per cent increase in turnover with the […]

SCOTTISH CUP: RANGERS v CELTIC

Posted on: 05 Feb 2011

SUNDAY’S latest Old Firm encounter is all about one man – and it’s not the referee. Rangers’ signing of El Hadji Diouf has been the main talking point ahead of their fifth-round Scottish Cup clash with Celtic. Diouf has a long list of misdemeanours but the only one Hoops fans remember is when he spat on a fan during a […]

RUGBY: 6 NATIONS LATEST

Posted on: 05 Feb 2011

FAVOURITES England made a winning Six Nations start last night but Wales made them fight all the way. In the end a late penalty gave them a 26-19 win and I was minutes away from a successful start after tipping Wales plus six points. Today sees Italy take on Ireland and France tackle Scotland in Paris. William Hill are seeing […]

FEBRUARY 6: SUPER BOWL XLV TIPS

Posted on: 05 Feb 2011

THERE might be no cheerleaders at Super Bowl XLV (45 to us Brits) but there should be plenty to cheer. Green Bay Packers head into the clash as 20-29 favourites with Paddy Power to beat Pittsburgh Steelers, the most successful team in history, but 13-10 outsiders with the likes of William Hill and Ladbrokes for a seventh win. Packers get […]

MASTERCLASS: PERM OF THE WEEK

Posted on: 05 Feb 2011

MY popular Line of the Week contest in the Daily Record is more often than not won by someone using a perm. It was no different this week with the successful punter doing a bet I love. And for a stake of just £1.60 he won more than £500. The bet involves picking four games and two of the same […]

READING v QPR: BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 04 Feb 2011

CHAMPIONSHIP leaders QPR were invincible earlier in the season – now they could do with Danny Invincibile! Suggesting they sign the freed Kilmarnock midfielder is probably an exaggeration to the situation they find themselves in. But after four away games without a goal it wouldn’t go wrong to have an Invincibile in your line-up. Reading are playing something like Rangers […]

REDS READY TO ROAR

Posted on: 04 Feb 2011

BET365 are going 5-2 about Sir Alex Ferguson getting his wish of Wayne Rooney reaching 10 and Dimitar Berbatov getting 30 goals by the end of the season. bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth “Rooney’s brace against Aston Villa could easily open the floodgates as far as the England striker is concerned, while Berbatov has plenty of time to reach his target.” […]

TORRES READY TO GOAL

Posted on: 04 Feb 2011

FERNANDO TORRES is 1-2 to start for Chelsea against Liverpool on Sunday according to Ladbrokes. The Spain striker seems desperate to face his former team but is 13-8 to come on off the bench and 11-10 to score on his debut. David Williams from Ladbrokes said: “The entire match will revolve around Torres. An immediate goal return will go a […]

RUGBY: SIX NATIONS

Posted on: 04 Feb 2011

ENGLAND are 15-8 favourites with Ladbrokes to win the Six Nations and return themselves to the top of the tree. They are being well-backed at 4-7 to win a mouthwatering opening clash against Wales tonight. The Welsh are 11-8 to register their first win of the tournament but England look strong. Ladbrokes have also priced up a number of specials […]

SUPERBOWL: NO CHEERLEADERS? NO PROBLEM.

Posted on: 03 Feb 2011

CHEERLEADERS are synonomous with American football – certainly to British fans. But when you tune in on Sunday there will be no blonde babes shaking their pom-poms – just beefy guys strutting their stuff. That’s because two of the six NFL sides without the girls have reached this year’s Superbowl. It’s the first time in the 45-year history of the […]

WEDNESDAY’S TOP FOOTY TIPS

Posted on: 02 Feb 2011

TUESDAY’S tips were pretty good with draws for Chesterfield at Stockport and Orient at home to Brighton denying me a full house on the English card. I picked four out of four in the EPL and the Championship provided rich pickings with the likes of Super Single Leicester at Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest at Coventry and Ipswich at Derby as […]

MR FIXIT’S PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS

Posted on: 02 Feb 2011

IT was a good night for punters with EPL favourites Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal all winning. I tipped up all three as well as a draw between West Brom and Wigan for a top-flight full house. All eight sides were on target so backers of the both teams to score market would have been quids in. I’ll be back […]

MR FIXIT’S SPL TIPS

Posted on: 02 Feb 2011

RANGERS go into tonight’s SPL clash with Hearts eight points adrift of Celtic – and facing the possibility of being leapfrogged by the Jambos. Walter Smith’s side have three games in hand over their bitter rivals but it’s always better to have points on the board. That makes tonight’s meeting at Ibrox a real crunch affair and I reckon Rangers […]

FEBRUARY 1: ENGLISH TIPS

Posted on: 01 Feb 2011

MAN UNITED were put in the shade yesterday after rivals Chelsea and Liverpool splashed out about £130million between them. Alex Ferguson will have looked on enviously at their spending power – but the others will be envious every time they glance at the EPL table. United sit proudly on top, five points clear of Arsenal, and will be looking to […]
