£200m TRANSFER FRENZY

Posted on: 01 Feb 2011

IT was an incredible deadline day in England – and Manchester City didn’t buy anyone. Neither did Man United or Arsenal but Chelsea and Liverpool more than made up for it by splashing some serious cash. In all about £200million exchanged hands with Fernando Torres the stellar capture at £50m from Liverpool to Chelsea. But the Anfield men wasted no […]

FEBRUARY 1: SCOTTISH TIPS

Posted on: 01 Feb 2011

CELTIC meet Aberdeen for the third time in 10 days tonight – and the result could be the same as the first two meetings. It was 1-0 at Parkhead but a much more convincing 4-1 at Hampden last Saturday in the Co-op Cup semi-finals. But even that was an improvement on the 9-0 battering they suffered at Parkhead earlier in […]

DIOUF: HIT OR SPIT

Posted on: 01 Feb 2011

RANGERS new boy El Hadji Diouf’s been compared to a sewer rat but bookies reckon he’ll be a rabbit in the headlights in the Old Firm derby glare. The shamed Blackburn star who was banned for gobbing on a Celtic fan while playing for Liverpool is as short as 2-1 with William Hill to be sent off in any of […]

CRAWLEY: DREAM OR NIGHTMARE?

Posted on: 30 Jan 2011

CRAWLEY TOWN were celebrating a money-spinning FA Cup draw yesterday after being paired away to Manchester United. But I wonder how their keeper is feeling about a trip to the Theatre of Dreams, especially after bookies flagged up odds of 13-8 for him to conceded six or more. To be fair William Hill’s price isn’t demeaning, after all Blackburn recently […]

WHAT NOW FOR MURRAY?

Posted on: 30 Jan 2011

POOR Andy Murray. The Scot collapsed under the weight of expectation on his shoulders – and David Jack’s money – to lose the Australian Open Final in straight sets. His defeat to Novak Djokovic was painful viewing but at least he is giving British tennis a chance of ending that 75-year drought. It’s better than relying on Timmy who more […]

MR FIXIT’S SUNDAY TIPS

Posted on: 30 Jan 2011

I PURPOSELY stayed clear of the FA Cup when making my predictions but in the end there weren’t too many Saturday shocks. The biggest surprise was Orient’s win at Swansea while I predicted Crawley to beat Torquay after previously seeing off Swindon and Derby. Brighton caused a mild tremor with their victory at Brighton while I fancied Everton to draw […]

CO-OP CUP SEMI-FINALS

Posted on: 29 Jan 2011

THE Old Firm have a break from the rigours of the title race as they attempt to reach the Final of the Co-operative Cup this weekend. Celtic should beat Aberdeen and Rangers can set up a second Old Firm cup clash of the season by taking care of Motherwell. An Old Firm final pays just 1-3 with William Hill and […]

IT’S A BALE OUT

Posted on: 27 Jan 2011

BOOKIES last night slashed the odds on Gareth Bale moving to Inter Milan following reports of a possible summer transfer bid from the European champions. Spurs’ Welsh wizard, likely to be the most coveted player in the world this summer, is just 7-2 with Paddy Power move to the San Siro next season having been as big as 33-1 at […]

MAN UNITED’S NO.1

Posted on: 27 Jan 2011

EDWIN VAN DER SAR has announced he will retire at the end of the season so bookies are taking bets on who will be Man United’s No.1 at the start of the next campaign. Reserve keeper Tomasz Kuszack is 7-4 favourites with Ladbrokes while third choice Ben Amos is 8-1. It’s likely Sir Alex Ferguson will do some summer shopping […]

NEW RICHARD KEYS

Posted on: 27 Jan 2011

BEN SHEPHERD is the 2-1 favourite with Ladbrokes to replace Richard Keys as the main anchor for Sky Sports football broadcasts. The market looks wide open as several other pundits both currently on Sky and rival channels vie for the lucrative contract after Keys quit yesterday over the sexism rows. Popular Soccer Saturday host Jeff Stelling is a 7-1 chance […]

OAP’S £345k JACKPOT WIN

Posted on: 27 Jan 2011

JOHN JELLEY became John Jolly when he banked a bumper £345,126 win on the horses. He became Britain’s biggest elderly jackpot winner at the weekend from a £9 bet placed in his local Ladbrokes in South Wales. Jelley, 88 wasn’t even aware of his huge win after falling asleep and forgetting to check the results. He only found out when […]

JANUARY 26: ENGLISH BETTING

Posted on: 26 Jan 2011

MAN UNITED saved my treble yesterday with their glorious comeback at Blackpool. I was ready to rip up my slips when they trailed 2-0 with about 20 minutes to go but the champions-elect rattled in three goals to turn it around. Nottingham Forest and Crewe completed the 4-1 treble and on a decent night I also tipped Aston Villa to […]

WHO’S THE NEXT ANDY GRAY?

Posted on: 25 Jan 2011

JAMIE REDKNAPP is 5-2 favourite with Ladbrokes to replace Andy Gray at Sky Sports after the former Scotland striker was sacked. Under-fire Richard Keys is now odds-on (4-5) to follow his colleague out of the door and leave before the weekend after the pair’s comments about lineswoman Sian Massey. Following Gray’s dismissal it’s 25-1 that temporary commentator from Monday night, […]

MR FIXIT’S LOWER LEAGUE PICKS

Posted on: 25 Jan 2011

IT’S a busy night in the npower leagues and vital one for on-form Nottingham Forest. Billy Davies’ side gave themselves a massive promotion shot in the arm with the weekend win at Derby and are pushing hard for an automatic place in the Premier League after missing out last season. Forest are up to sixth, just four points behind second-placed […]

MR FIXIT’S TUESDAY FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Posted on: 25 Jan 2011

MAN UNITED can enjoy all the fun of the fair tonight to race five points clear at the top of the table. Sir Alex Ferguson takes his men to the unfamiliar surroundings of Bloomfield Road and they should enjoy some of the gifts handed out by Ian Holloway and his men. And by that I don’t mean free tickets to […]

BOLTON v CHELSEA BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 23 Jan 2011

THE final game of the EPL weekend sees Chelsea travel to Bolton needing a win to stay in the title race. And the good news for the Blues is that the Reebok is a happy hunting ground with seven wins on the spin without conceding a goal. Chelsea are looking a bit more like themselves while Bolton have stuttered after […]

JANUARY 23: ENGLISH FOOTBALL

Posted on: 23 Jan 2011

IT was another great day for Man United who have been cut to 4-6 by Ladbrokes to win the title after their 5-0 thrashing of Birmingham City. Arsenal are 5-2 after climbing into second by beating Wigan at the Emirates with Man City the main losers as they drifted from 8-1 to 9-1 after defeat at Aston Villa. Chelsea, who […]

BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE? YOU BET!

Posted on: 22 Jan 2011

RIGHT, here it is – by popular demand. One of the biggest football markets these days is both teams to score and the success of it has been so high that bookies have had to seriously trim prices from the start of the season. I’ve touched on the market a couple of times in my Daily Record column and have […]

LEEDS v ARSENAL BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 19 Jan 2011

THERE was one shock in the Scottish Cup last night but none in the FA Cup. I tipped the big surprise which was Ayr to beat Hibs and I hope you were on at 9-2. First scorer Mark Roberts was also flagged up as an 8-1 shot and he bagged the only goal for the Second Division men. Tonight Leeds […]

BENT v DOWNING

Posted on: 19 Jan 2011

DARREN BENT is 2-1 with Paddy Power to finish Aston Villa’s top scorer after as completing his £18million transfer from Sunderland. Stewart Downing currently leads the charts with five league goals so it shouldn’t take Bent to long to overhaul him.  Paddy Power also offer 10-11 on Bent finishing the season with more league goals for his new club than […]

JANUARY 18 SCOTTISH CUP AND SPL

Posted on: 18 Jan 2011

NOTTS COUNTY won at Sunderland, Stevenage beat Newcastle and Burton mauled Middlesbrough. They were some of the results that caused shockwaves in English football two weekends ago. In the Scottish Cup there was nothing of seismic proportions although Ayr, Peterhead and Ross County did their best to grab the headlines. All three SFL sides travelled to SPL opposition and battled […]

ENGLISH PREMIER LATEST

Posted on: 16 Jan 2011

BOOKIES just love draws and they were licking their lips after a full house on super Sunday in the English Premier League. Four consecutive stalemates at Birmingham, Sunderland, Liverpool and Spurs saw firms enjoy one of their most lucrative Sundays for years as punters endured an afternoon of frustration. There were some who predicted all four matches to finish level […]

SNOOKER: DING BREAKS AWAY

Posted on: 16 Jan 2011

DING JUNHUI is 8-1 with the Ladbrokes to add to his Masters win with victory in the World Championship in spring. The Chinese sensation beat Marco Fu 10-4 at Wembley to lift the Ladbrokes Mobile Masters and all week looked the man to beat. He looks a much more rounded and composed player than the one who first bounced on […]

ENGLISH BETTING IN BRIEF

Posted on: 14 Jan 2011

BODOG have reacted to the furore caused by Karren Brady’s newspaper column by putting out prices on which club will be handed the Olympic Stadium. West Ham director Brady suggested David Beckham’s arrival at White Hart Lane was linked to the club’s attempt to move to the new venue. That of course was denied and bodog make the Hammers 4-6 […]

WHO’LL WIN THE SCOTTISH CUP?

Posted on: 11 Jan 2011

IT was the draw no one could have predicted and the one all non-Old Firm clubs wanted. Rangers will meet Celtic in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup at Ibrox so yet again at least one of the lesser lights will reach the Final. McBookie.com are offering 4-9 that a non Old-Firm side will lift the trophy in May […]
