SCOTLAND v SPAIN PREVIEW

Posted on: 12 Oct 2010

SPAIN should mean more pain for Scotland tonight after their Czech horror show. Only fans with saltires branded across their chests by hot pokers will consider any kind of positive result for Craig Levein’s men in the 2012 qualifier at Hampden. And who can blame them after the negativity displayed by the side in Prague. Scared of the Czechs? That […]

HART STILL IN IT

Posted on: 10 Oct 2010

JOE HART is 3-1 with William Hill to start all of England’s remaining Euro qualifiers despite claims of drunken antics in Spain days before he was due to meet up with the squad for tomorrow’s clash with Montenegro. Fabio Capello won’t be happy with his No.1 but is likely to stand by him and is just 3-10 with Hills to […]

THREE TO CHEER

Posted on: 09 Oct 2010

FIVE to follow has become three to cheer thanks to this weekend’s reduced card. And if the treble comes up it may stay that way. One regular visitor to the site last week suggested the five to follow should feature the same teams each week and that I should be keeping a track of their fortunes then tipping up win, […]

SCOTLAND GO FOR A POINT

Posted on: 08 Oct 2010

ALL week the speculation has been about how Craig Levein will approach tonight’s Euro 2012 crunch clash after reports that in-form striker Kenny Miller would be dropped. The news has been confirmed with the Rangers star on the bench and Levein packing six players into midfield. There is a debut for QPR’s Jamie Mackie but not up front while Steven Naismith, […]

DUNHILL LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP

Posted on: 06 Oct 2010

Europe’s Ryder Cup stars have had just two days to recover from an epic win against the USA – but bookies expect one of them to be victorious in Scotland this weekend. Ladbrokes offer just 2-1 on a member of Colin Montgomerie’s side winning the Dunhill Links Championship played at St Andrews, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie. Although the bulk of the […]

GOALS GALORE IN JOHNSTONE’S PAINT

Posted on: 05 Oct 2010

YOU can’t gloss over the fact the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy is an absolute minefield for punters. It’s a tournament in which it pays to back the underdog – or not even have a bet at all. But buoyed my 29-1 treble win in the previous round I’m going to have a go at tonight’s ties. However, I’m not predicting any […]

Who’ll Replace Big Yogi?

Posted on: 05 Oct 2010

PUNTERS who backed John Hughes to win the SPL sack race were celebrating after he parted company with Hibs “by mutual consent”. Now they’re trying to invest some of their profit wisely by predicting who’ll take over at Easter Road. The usual former Hibs stars and SPL bosses have been priced up but will Rod Petrie and his directors pull […]

HODGSON UNDER PRESSURE

Posted on: 03 Oct 2010

ROY HODGSON has been cut from 8-1 to 5-1 third favourite by William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club. And he is just 11-10 to have left Liverpool before the start of next season and 6-5 to go before the end of this season following yesterday’s disastrous 2-1 home defeat to Blackpool. Hodgson is even […]

LA LAKERS HIT LONDON

Posted on: 03 Oct 2010

THE LA Lakers are in London tonight and hot favourites to start their pre-season preparations for the basketball season with a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Venue for this extravaganza is the O2 Arena for the opener of the NBA’s annual European tour. The Lakers are the most high-profile team to embark on the overseas tour but are missing several […]

RYDER CUP LATEST

Posted on: 03 Oct 2010

I TIPPED Europe to win the Ryder Cup at the start of the event and everything that happened yesterday reinforced my belief and will hopefully boost my bank account today. Europe are now the 1-6 red-hot favourites with William Hill and Ladbrokes after taking five and a half points out of six on what should have been the final day. […]

EURO PREVIEW OCTOBER 3

Posted on: 03 Oct 2010

IT’S a a bit of a Super Sunday across Europe – they might not, traditionally, be the most glamorous ties on paper but recent form has set out four crackers on the continent. A trip to Spain is in order for our first stop at Getafe vs Hercules. The promoted Valencians are in eighth spot in the standings having picked […]

RYDERS OF THE STORM

Posted on: 02 Oct 2010

EUROPE are 4-9 favourites with Ladbrokes to win the Ryder Cup going into the final day despite trailing 6-4. Bookies were thrilled with the European resurgence after laying one bet of £100,000 on the USA golfers at 7-4 and Corey Pavin’s men briefly went odds on at 10-11 during yesterday’s play. The USA may lead in the clubhouse but with all […]

Ryder Cup Day One Preview

Posted on: 30 Sep 2010

COLIN MONTGOMERIE isn’t messing about – he’s straight in with the big guns as Europe aim to get off to a flier when the Ryder Cup starts on Friday. After the day one morning pairings were revealed Ladbrokes put up a best price 5-6 on Europe leading going into the second day while betfred are 6-5 on the home side […]

EUROPA LEAGUE TOP TIPS

Posted on: 30 Sep 2010

IT was a great night for British clubs in the Champions League with all three winning – and Liverpool and Man City should continue that success tonight. I tipped the 1-0 correct score for Rangers against Bursaspor and also fancied Spurs to see off Twente in their first Champions League group game at home. Man United weren’t backed by too […]

MR FIXIT’S EURO TIPS

Posted on: 29 Sep 2010

RANGERS won’t play like they did in the Champions League at Ibrox last season. That’s a given – but Turkish visitors Bursaspor might batten down the hatches which could result in a show similar to the one we witnessed at Old Trafford a couple of weeks ago. So the clever money will be on the unders market with William Hill […]

TUESDAY’S TOP TIPS

Posted on: 27 Sep 2010

CHELSEA and Arsenal suffered EPL defeats on Saturday – and both will be looking to bounce back in the Champions League tonight. It’s an easier task for the Blues who should see off Marseille at home with plenty to spare but the Gunners will have to fight hard to beat Partizan Belgrade away. Both sides started their campaign with big […]

NO STOPPING OLD FIRM

Posted on: 26 Sep 2010

IT was another winning weekend for the Old Firm and after six SPL outings both boast a maximum 18 points. They have two more games before facing each other in the first Glasgow derby of the season and Scottish firm McBookie.com are offering 5-2 both will go into the contest with a perfect record. At the moment it looks on […]

WEDNESDAY’S CUP TIPS

Posted on: 22 Sep 2010

By Joe Wallace IT’S the second night of cup action north and south of the border – and another chance for punters to earn some midweek dough. In Scotland Celtic face Inverness Caley Thistle in the Co-operative Insurance Cup and no Hoops fan will want to be reminded of the problems the Highlanders have given them over the years. But […]

TUESDAY’S CUP TIPS

Posted on: 21 Sep 2010

By Joe Wallace IT’S a return to cup action north and south of the border and while clubs dream of a silver lining, punters are simply looking to line their pockets. We kick off north of the border and this evening’s Co-operative Insurance Cup ties where Rangers will surely safely continue their defence of the trophy at home to Dunfermline. […]

DARTS: WORLD GRAND PRIX

Posted on: 19 Sep 2010

THE DRAW for the World Grand Prix is on Tuesday and bodog are looking forward to some brisk business on the tournament. This is the event where players have to start with a double (no, not a whisky) and it means the excitement builds from the first throw. As usual Phil “The Power” Taylor is hot favourite for the event […]

IT REALLY IS SUPER SUNDAY

Posted on: 18 Sep 2010

THE PHRASE Super Sunday is an over-used expression. Sometimes it’s just an ordinary Sunday but you never hear that tag. But today really is Super Sunday with Man United facing up to fierce rivals Liverpool while Chelsea and Man City are also in action. The big one takes place at Old Trafford and after being criticised for fielding a weakened […]

BRITS AIM TO BE HITS

Posted on: 15 Sep 2010

We were caught out slightly by Man United’s team selection on Tuesday and you’ve got to be wary when looking at Liverpool and Man City in the Europa league tonight. It was obvious from the side Sir Alex Ferguson put out against Rangers that it wouldn’t be as easy as the odds suggested for the home side who were held […]

UNITED STILL ON COURSE

Posted on: 15 Sep 2010

MAN UNITED are still hotly-fancied to progress from the group stages of the champions league, despite their shock 0-0 draw with Rangers last night. William Hill make them 1-14 to go through with Rangers 4-1 and 1-7 not to make it. Hills now make United 2-1 to do best of the Brits with Rangers 14-1 ahead of 6-4 Chelsea, 7-2 […]
