IT’S a busy midweek in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues – and once again we have been doing our homework in the hunt for a winning lower-league treble. There are 10 SFL matches being played over the next couple of days giving punters the perfect chance to give the bookies a bashing. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division […]

THEY make odd bedfellows but tonight they could provide you with a nice double act. I’m talking about Brentford and Nantes who look decent-priced homes against Carlisle and Metz respectively. So let’s start with the buzzing Bees. They were well tipped for promotion at the start of the season and can still make it to the play-offs despite a run […]

DERECK CHISORA is 4-7 to be David Haye’s next opponent according to Ladbrokes. The bookies rate Haye as an odds-on favourite (4-9) to win should the fight go ahead with Chisora a 7-4 outsider. Haye (2-1) and Chisora (7-2) are the first two in the betting to be the next British heavyweight champion while Tyson Fury earns a 9-2 quote. […]

I GOT it spot on with Real Madrid -3 last night and reckon Barcelona can cover the -1 handicap tonight. Barcelona, 2-7 at Ladbrokes, are bidding to avoid back-to-back league defeats for the first time since May 2009 and should take care of Valencia at home. Barca beat their opponents 2-0 to reach the Spanish Cup Final a fortnight ago […]

CORAL this week reported three quarters of the money on tonight’s big fight had been on Dereck Chisora – and I don’t understand why. For me he has little hope of beating Vitali Klitschko in their world heavyweight title in Germany but maybe they’re chasing the value. Chisora is 7-1 at Coral while the best you can get on the […]

REAL MADRID are incredibly short to beat Racing Santander at home as they look to build on their 10-point cushion over Barcelona tonight (7pm). Racing sit in the drop zone with just one away game all season while Real have won 10 out of 11 at the Bernabeu. So this can be nothing but a home but with BetVictor, William Hill, […]

CAN I break the run of one game beating me? I hope so but the FA Cup ties don’t really help my cause. It’s tough picking goals galore games from these ties simply because most of the ties feature teams from different leagues. Two caught my eye, Norwich v Leicester and Everton v Blackpool, and I think I’ll start with the […]

THANK God it’s the weekend and another chance for punters to cash in and have the bookies crying into their pints. On paper it looks a difficult week for tipping in the Scottish Football Leagues – but that hasn’t stopped us doing our homework in the hunt for a winning treble. We kick off in the Irn-Bru Second Division and […]

CAN you pick out a winning Super Single from this weekend’s fixtures? Here’s your chance to win a tenner at bet365! Well done to Felix Gillespie who I randomly selected as winner of a £10 at bet365 thanks to his midweek Super Single. Now it’s your chance to do the same. I’ve three £10 free bets at bet365 to give away […]

PHIL TAYLOR is 16-1 with William Hill to hit another nine-darter in the McCoy’s Premier League in Belfast next week. The Power, the current 11-8 tournament favourite, set the AECC in Aberdeen alight on Thursday with a dazzling display against Kevin Painter – including a stunning nine-dart finish. Gary Anderson, the defending Premier league champion, sent a vocal hometown crowd into […]

AFTER a hectic Tuesday there’s less to focus on with Wednesday being dominated by two Champions League ties. Arsenal head for AC Milan while Benfica take on Zenit St Petersburg in their last-16 first-leg affair. So let’s look at the Gunners first of all. Domestically their title race is over and they’re fighting for a place in next season’s Champions […]

IT’S a busy midweek that sees the return of the Champions League and Europa League as well as plenty of games north and south of the border so no excuses for not picking a winning Super Single! Well done to James Broxup, Dragan and Tyrone whom I randomly selected as winners of a £10 free bet at bet365 thanks to their […]

IT’S a busy midweek for Scottish Football League clubs in league and cup business. And let’s hope there will be no love lost and punters can make it a Valentine’s Day massacre for the bookies. Joe Wallace kicks off in the William Hill Scottish Cup and Queen of the South’s home fourth-round replay with Aberdeen. The Palmerston men held the Dons […]

IT’S Champions League week but before the big games kick there are three matches in La Liga and Serie A to look at plus on in League Two. Let’s start in Spain with Real Sociedad v Sevilla. Bookies surpisingly make the visitors favourites despite losing four and drawing two of their last six. Sociedad on the other hand have looked […]

I’M focusing on three big guns to produce the goods on Sunday. I’ve tipped up Man City at Aston Villa in my Premier League preview so I won’t go over the reasoning again. So start with Man City and add Inter Milan (it should have been Juventus but their game is off) at home to Novara. Inter are facing a side […]

I WENT close on all my both teams to score lines on Saturday – but that’s par for the course. I’m knocking on the door for a fivefold and hopefully today’s the day. So let’s start in the Premier League where there were plenty of goals – but none for a team we needed in Newcastle. Wolves v West Brom […]

THERE were thrills and spills in the Premier League on Saturday and I tipped the two big ones correctly by taking wins for Man United and Spurs. On Sunday there are two more matches with Aston Villa entertaining Man City (4.0) on the main bill and Wolves v West Brom (1.30) featuring on the undercard. So let’s start at Villa Park where […]

LAST weekend’s SFL card was almost entirely wrecked by the wintry conditions but let’s hope we have weathered the storm and can come up with a winning treble to help beat the winter blues. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and focus on Ross County’s away trip to face Raith Rovers. County have been a revelation since manager […]

THERE were 23 correct Super Singles put up in midweek with the usual array of superb tips. Biggest win came from Andrew Steele with his 5-1 bet on Celtic -2 at HeartsIn fact the Celtic game proved popular with Andy Greenan and Johnny on -1 at 15-8, Anton Traquair going for Celtic HT/FT at 7-4 and Colin Reid on Celtic […]

AND so ends another busy midweek – with some winners and some losers and some near misses. We finish off this week with two games in Italy, Lazio v Cesena in Serie A and Siena v Napoli in Coppa Italia. The Lazio game has been brought forward from the weekend to accommodate the rugby and the home side will be […]

HARRY REDKNAPP is odds-on favourite with bookies to be the next England manager. On a remarkable day the Spurs boss was found not guilty on tax evasion charges and hours later Fabio Capello quit the England job over the John Terry saga. Ladbrokes make Redknapp just 2-7 to fill the vacancy and say 95 per cent of bets placed on […]

Wednesday, Tynecastle, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 HEARTS were the last team to beat Celtic on the domestic scene – but that was way back in October and the Glasgow giants have been on a different planet ever since. Neil Lennon’s side have clocked up 15 wins on the spin and should make is sweet 16 as they aim […]

THERE are some big cup games spread across Europe tonight but none bigger than Barcelona v Valencia. The European champions haven’t been their sparkling self of late and will face a tough test in the Nou Camp. However, having fought out a 1-1 draw away the advantage is with Barca and I can see them reaching the Final with a […]

Wednesday, the Riverside, 7.45pm, live on ITV HANDS up if Sunderland cost you a few quid when they failed to beat Middlesbrough in their FA Cup home meeting. And hands up if you’re still going to back them in the replay at the Riverside tonght. Yes, me too. Sunderland are 11-10 almost across the board and I’m sure they’ll win […]

I LOVE hearing about big winners – and here’s three from the world of golf. A 60-year-old man from Belfast picked up almost £140,000 at the weekend on a bet he placed with Coral in error. He thought he had backed Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano to win the Qatar Masters and Kyle Stanley for the Waste Management Phoenix Open in a £50 […]
