MASTERCLASS: PERM OF THE WEEK

Posted on: 12 Nov 2010

Every weekend without fail I have a bet on draws. They aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I can’t resist the odds on offer for every match. You don’t get any 1-7s or 2-9s here – the worst you’ll come across is a rare 2-1 or 15-8. On average three draws pays a minimum 35-1 which is fairly attractive when you consider you might get just […]

PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS NOV 10TH

Posted on: 10 Nov 2010

One of the matches of the English Premier League season takes place tonight and it looks incredibly tough to call. Eastlands is the venue for the 155th Manchester derby between City and United and it could go either way. It might not be as heated as Hibs v Hearts (did you see Sunday’s explosive encounter) but should be a cracker […]

McGHEE ON THE BRINK

Posted on: 09 Nov 2010

IT won’t attract the biggest crowd tonight but it could bring in the most bets. The game I’m talking about is Aberdeen v Inverness and everyone will want to back against Mark McGhee’s men following their nightmare 9-0 defeat at Celtic on Saturday. Everything points to an away except the fact the Dons are on the ropes and must win […]

ENGLISH PREVIEW NOVEMBER 9

Posted on: 09 Nov 2010

SPURS have been as inconsistent as possible recently – beating Inter Milan then crashing at Bolton. Boss Harry Redknapp blames his side’s inconsistency on injuries and with Rafael van der Vaart doubtful for tonight’s clash against Sunderland and the likes of Jermain Defoe still out you’re not quite sure which side of Spurs we’ll see.  I’m backing on it being […]

LIVERPOOL BACK IN THE MIX

Posted on: 07 Nov 2010

There were major changes in the EPL betting yesterday after Liverpool finally put on show to beat Chelsea 2-0. After a third league win on the bounce the Reds were slashed by Ladbrokes to 4-1 to finish in the top four. And the Stamford Road outfit are out to 4-7 for a successful title defence with Liverpool into 50-1. It’s […]

MASTERCLASS: PERM OF THE WEEK

Posted on: 05 Nov 2010

THIS is a perm which covers all bases for not a huge outlay. It involves tackling the long list and splitting it into seven sections. Number them one to seven and pick three teams from each section. Instruct perm any three in each of the seven sections = 35 bets@5p (£1.75). Three winning sections will result in a 5p ninefold. The […]

EUROPA LEAGUE NOV 4

Posted on: 03 Nov 2010

MAN CITY need a Europa League win in Poland tonight to lift confidence after two EPL defeats – and they should get it. Roberto Mancini’s beat Lech Poznan 3-1 at  the Eastlands in a decent match and although hat-trick hero Manny Adebayor will start City will be missing Carlos Tevez and Yaya and Kolo Toure. Italian striker Mario Balotelli has been […]

DON’T BALE OUT YET

Posted on: 03 Nov 2010

BOOKIES reckon Spurs fans will still be able to rave about man of the moment Gareth Bale next season. With the Welsh wizard arguably becoming the hottest property in world football overnight Paddy Power make Bale 4-9 to still be a Spurs player after next summer’s transfer window while bet365 go 2-1 he moves to a bigger club. Spanish giants […]

VALENCIA v RANGERS BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 02 Nov 2010

RANGERS have been one of the surprise packages in the Champions League this season. After a disastrous campaign a year ago, Walter Smith has got his tactics right and after three games five points have been collected including draws against big guns Man United and Valencia. Now Smith faces possibly his toughest task of the season when he takes his […]

BLACKPOOL v WEST BROM PREVIEW

Posted on: 01 Nov 2010

THERE were some crazy results in the EPL at the weekend and some crazy incidents. Who would have predicted Newcastle 5, Sunderland 1 and how many people were on Wolves to beat Man City. And what about the Nani goal? I wonder how many punters lived to rue that mad moment. But that’s the beauty or frustration of football betting […]

OCTOBER 31 EPL AND SPL TIPS

Posted on: 30 Oct 2010

IT’S derby day in the EPL with bragging rights at stake in Birmingham and the north-east. First up it’s Aston Villa v Birmingham with extra spice attached to the tie after the rivals were paired in yesterday’s Carling Cup quarter-finals. Villa haven’t really got going under Gerard Houllier while Birmingham picked up a welcome three points with victory against Blackpool […]

CARLING CUP LATEST

Posted on: 27 Oct 2010

ARSENAL have been promoted to Carling Cup following their 4-0 victory at Newcastle last night. As I predicted the Gunners put out a strong team and won well. William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said: “Arsene Wenger is obviously taking the tournament seriously this season and we have responded by taking their chances seriously.” Arsenal are 7-4 ahead of Man Utd […]

SNEIJDER BALON D’OR FAVOURITE

Posted on: 27 Oct 2010

SPAIN dominate the shortlist for the Balon D’Or but Wesley Sneijder is 5-2 favourite with Ladbrokes to take the prize. The Dutchman enjoyed a sparkling World Cup before his side settled for second best in the Final and he also played a starring role as Inter Milan won the Champions League. Sneijder is a worthy favourite but I wonder if […]

CARLING CUP LATEST

Posted on: 27 Oct 2010

THERE were no shocks in the Carling Cup last night and it could be the same again as six sides chase the last three quarter-finals slots. Arsenal, Aston Villa and West Ham are favourites to progress and the first two can certainly be backed with a degree of confidence. The Gunners travel to Newcastle with Arsene Wenger promising fans he’ll […]

OLD FIRM IN CO-OP CUP FIGHT

Posted on: 26 Oct 2010

RANGERS are the new favourites for the SPL title but bookies can’t split them in the fight for the Co-op Cup. The Glasgow giants are aiming for a place in the last four tonight and both are a biggest 7-4 with the likes of Ladbrokes on the outrights. Bosses Walter Smith and Neil Lennon will make changes – Rangers more […]

Co-OP CUP PREVIEW OCTOBER 26

Posted on: 26 Oct 2010

IT’S quarter-final stage in the Co-operative Insurance Cup and bookies reckon another Rangers vs Celtic final is on the cards. An Old Firm Hampden showdown pays 11-10 with William Hill and it’s even more likely one of the Glasgow giants wins the Cup (3-10). The Old Firm outfits, who are in action tomorrow, are both 7-4 with Ladbrokes and Paddy […]

CARLING CUP PREVIEW OCTOBER 26

Posted on: 26 Oct 2010

IT’S Carling Cup night and bookies will expect to recoup some of the cash won by punters on the Sunday’s Old Firm clash and the likes of Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal. Many of the big boys crashed out in the last round and Paddy Power are asking how many more upsets there will be this week. With at least […]

MONDAY NIGHT GLADNESS

Posted on: 25 Oct 2010

MY predictions on the Leeds v Cardiff game provided a windfall for punters last night. I fancied the Welsh side big time against an outfit really struggling over the last few weeks and a 4-0 away win justified my selections. My standout tip was to take Cardiff at minus two goals with boylesports at a sweet 16-1. And my Super […]

LEEDS v CARDIFF PREVIEW

Posted on: 24 Oct 2010

LEEDS look in a bit of a mess after a promising start to life in the English Championship. They have conceded eight goals in their last two home games – a 2-1 defeat to lowly Leicester and that 6-4 thumping by Preston after leading 4-1. Middlesbrough were beaten away between those two losses but that’s not much of an achievement […]

OLD FIRM SPECIAL

Posted on: 24 Oct 2010

IT really is super Sunday in the SPL with Celtic and Rangers meeting at Parkhead after incredible runs from the first kick-off. Both have perfect records – and in fact Celtic have won 16 in a row in the SPL with Neil Lennon at the helm. So something has to finally give and the value is with Rangers because the […]

WAYNE’S WORLD

Posted on: 22 Oct 2010

WAYNE ROONEY is staying at Man United and don’t say we didn’t tell you. The England striker’s decision to pen a new five-year deal was so surprising when you consider he didn’t have too many options away from Old Trafford. Bookies have offered varied Rooney specials over the past week and well done to Coral for refunding bets on the […]

TUESDAY’S TOP TIPS 19TH OCTOBER

Posted on: 19 Oct 2010

BACKING homes in the Champions League should pay dividends tonight with the likes of Arsenal, Roma and Bayern Munich looking nailed on. In seven out of eight ties the home men are heavily odds-on with only Spartak Moscow not fancied against Chelsea in Russia. Arsenal have had their problems, mainly in defence, but with Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott expected […]

COLIN CALDERWOOD SPECIALS

Posted on: 18 Oct 2010

TONY MOWBRAY is the even money favourite with Ladbrokes to replace sacked Middlesbrough manager Gordon Strachan. Paul Ince can be backed at 14-1 with old Riverside favourite Juninho the 50-1 outsider. Mogga was a legendary Boro player who would be welcomed back to the club by fans but Boro chairman has a shortlist and won’t be rushed into making a decision. […]

ROONEY ODDS ON TO GO

Posted on: 18 Oct 2010

MY colleague Paul Watson in an earlier post makes a compelling case for why Wayne Rooney is likely to remain at Man United. However, bookies make the England striker odds on to leave Old Trafford before the start of next season. And his most likely destination, with Paul accepting Man City are the only club who would pay the money, […]

EPL AND SPL LATEST & SUNDAY’S TIPS

Posted on: 16 Oct 2010

CHELSEA have a five-point lead over four sides but that should change today. The Blues are being tracked by Arsenal, Man Utd, Man City and Spurs and didn’t lose ground in the title race despite being held 0-0 at Aston Villa last night. But with City traveling to Blackpool today the gap should be cut to two points. Promoted Blackpool […]
