FEB 7: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 07 Feb 2012

PUNTERS have been feeling my pain after one side beat my last three both teams to score lines. Norwich were the culprits when they failed to score at Sunderland then it was Bolton at Norwich last Saturday. And finally another fivefold bit the dust because Rangers couldn’t net at home to Dundee United in the Scottish Cup on Sunday. That […]

WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH CUP LATEST

Posted on: 06 Feb 2012

DUNDEE UNITED’S reward for knocking Rangers out of the William Hill Scottish Cup is a home draw against trophy favourites Celtic in the quarter-finals. It’s by far and away the tie of the round between the 2010 winners and the holders. The winners of the Hearts v St Johnstone tie will face St Mirren or Ross County while Ayr or Falkirk […]

FEB 6: ENHANCED 10-1 TREBLE

Posted on: 06 Feb 2012

MRFIXITSTIPS sponsors William Hill were offering an enhanced 10-1 treble tonight. The teams involved were Liverpool, Malaga and Le Mans but the game involving the French side is now off so anyone who took it will be left with a double. Elsewhere I’ve tipped a draw at Liverpool v Spurs but if you disagree you know where to go. It should be […]

FEB 6: LIVERPOOL v SPURS

Posted on: 06 Feb 2012

Monday, Anfield, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 IT’S all about the return of Luis Suarez at Anfield tonight after the Uruguayan served his eight-match ban. The striker hasn’t played since Boxing Day but is likely to be on the bench with Liverpool enjoying a good recent run, reaching the Carling Cup Final at the expense of Man City and knocking […]

SUPER BOWL XLVI BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 05 Feb 2012

NY Giants v NE Patriots, Indianapolis, 10.30pm, live Sky Sports 1 THE Super Bowl is a repeat of 2008 – but the singing’s not. Madonna will be the half-time entertainment highlight and her presence will add to a global audience which will pull in 110 million in the US alone. Super Bowl XLVI in Indiana features New York Giants against New England Patriots […]

FEB 5: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 05 Feb 2012

I WAS a bit unlucky with my selections yesterday. All the games I picked out on Friday featured both teams scoring but I had to make changes as games fell to the big freeze. And in the end one team, Bolton, beat me for an English five-timer while in Scotland I managed a treble with the other two being postponed […]

FEB 5: SCOTTISH CUP TIPS

Posted on: 04 Feb 2012

ALL eyes will be on Ibrox on Sunday to see how Rangers respond to their latest crisis. Questions have been asked of owner Craig Whyte all week after it was revealed he had mortgaged of four years of fans’ season ticket money to the tune of nearly £25million. Top scorer Nikica Jelavic then joined Everton on transfer deadline day for […]

FEB 5: ENGLISH FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 04 Feb 2012

MAN UNITED boast the best away form in the Premier League and will need to be at their best on Sunday to pick up three points against Chelsea (4pm ko). The old foes meet under contrasting circumstances with the Reds once again challenging for the title while the Blues are out of the race and aiming to hold on to […]

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 03 Feb 2012

TWO regular contributors to the success of this line let me down in midweek as Blackburn and Norwich failed to score. Rovers missed a penalty and squandered a hatful of chances against Newcastle but to be fair Norwich never turned up at Sunderland and it looked like they would draw a blank from early on. Getting eight of 10 teams […]

IT’S SNOW JOKE!

Posted on: 03 Feb 2012

SNOW is just even money with Ladbrokes to fall on the pitch during the Manchester City-Fulham game on Saturday. So if all your bets are down you can sit here hoping for a drop of the white stuff. The bookies reckon players will also braced for the cold snap offering just 5-1 that all 22 starting players are wearing gloves of some […]

FEBRUARY 4: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 03 Feb 2012

THE weather could decimate the Scottish Football League card this weekend ­– but that hasn’t stopped comeback man Joe Wallace in his hunt for a winning treble. Last weekend two ofour  three tips fell foul of the conditions – but the third prediction, Stranraer, did the trick with a 5-2 thrashing of Elgin to at least give punters a small return on […]

ENGLAND CAPTAIN BETTING

Posted on: 03 Feb 2012

STEVIE GERRARD is 4-7 favourite to captain England for their first game at Euro 2012 following John Terry’s removal by the FA. Paddy Power has made the Liverpool midfielder hot favourite with other contenders like Frank Lampard seemingly ruled out because of question marks over his starting spot in the team. Rio Ferdinand, brother of QPR defender Anton, is arguably […]

FEB 3: NUREMBERG v B DORTMUND

Posted on: 03 Feb 2012

Friday, 7.30, live on ESPN IT may be freezing in Germany but Borussia Dortmund are looking hot at as they fight Bayern Munich at the top of the table. Victory at icy Nuremberg tonight will see Dortmund climb to the summit for 24 hours at least. The temperature at kick-off time is expected to be around -10 but that shouldn’t stop […]

RUGBY: SIX NATIONS BETTING

Posted on: 02 Feb 2012

I’M not that keen on tipping the rugby but having read some previews it looks like Scotland have a decent chance of beating England in Saturday’s opener. The Scots haven’t lost to England at home since 2004 and have a more experienced side than their rivals who have made massive changes to their squad. England are 4-1 with Paddy Power […]

LEEDS BOSS: BETTING UPDATE

Posted on: 02 Feb 2012

IT looks an early fight between Lee Clark and Neil Warnock for the vacant Leeds job. Hudersfield gaffer Clark is the 9-4 favourite at bet365 with former QPR boss Warnock just behind at 5-2. Bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth said: “We’ve seen the first real gamble of the Leeds manager market in the shape of Clark. He’s a manager who always attracts […]

SACK RACE LATEST BETTING

Posted on: 01 Feb 2012

MICK McCARTHY and Ally McCoist have been backed at Paddy Power in the sack races markets north and south of the border. McCarthy, has been cut from 4-6 to 1-2, after his side’s tame defeat by Liverpool at the weekend. Despite improved form Blackburn’s Steve Kean remains second favourite at 6-1, although he was 5-4 favourite three weeks ago. Chelsea’s Andre […]

WHO’LL BE NEXT LEEDS BOSS?

Posted on: 01 Feb 2012

NEIL WARNOCK is the early favourite to replace axed Simon Grayson at Leeds. Ladbrokes reckon the former QPR boss will be recruited by Ken Bates and they could be right. The bookies make Gus Poyet 9-2 second favourite while club legend Gordon Strachan is a 5-1 chance. Lee Clark is 10-1 to swap Huddersfield for Leeds while Gary McAllister is […]

FEB 1: UK FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 31 Jan 2012

FULHAM are possibly best bets in the Premier League on Wednesday as they host West Brom. Martin Jol’s men have sparkled in recent home games, hitting 11 in their last three, including five against Newcastle and two late ones to defeat Arsenal. West Brom have been inconsistent performers this season but won their last away match at Stoke. However, they […]

FEB 1: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 31 Jan 2012

SERIE A isn’t always famed for goals but Wednesday night’s fixtures could throw up a stack. After Tuesday’s near miss when Wolves denied us a fivefold I’m focusing my efforts on the Italian league where there are several games that are traditionally high scoring. Take Inter Milan v Palermo for example. It was 4-3 Palermo when the sides met earlier […]

JAN 30: FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 30 Jan 2012

IT’S amazing how a change of manager just about guarantees a change in fortune. The effect is often so dramatic it’s no wonder chairmen make new appointments so regularly. In fact, imagine if they changed boss every week. One side who have seen an immediate uplift are Atletico Madrid who are unbeaten under new boss Diego Simeone. The capital outfit […]

JAN 29: FALKIRK v CELTIC

Posted on: 28 Jan 2012

FALKIRK knocked Rangers out of the League Cup but I can’t see them making it an Old Firm double on Sunday. Neil Lennon’s SPL leaders are no bigger than 2-7 with Coral to win in 90 minutes with the Bairns 14-1 at bet365 and BetVictor. Having caught Rangers then overhauled them with a run of 12 straight league wins it’s impossible […]

JAN 29: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 28 Jan 2012

AFTER last Sunday’s success I’m under pressure to come up with another winning both teams to score line. My five paid 13-1 last week and with nothing much on the UK I’ve scoured Europe for my selections. And I’m starting with Genoa v Napoli in Serie A. Napoli have been involved in plenty of high scorers in recent weeks although […]

ENGLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 27 Jan 2012

IT’S FA Cup weekend and I’ll start the line with a couple of knockout games. First up it’s Leicester v Swindon with Paolo di Canio’s men looking to produce another shock after beating Wigan in the previous round. A couple of weeks ago you’d have fancied the League Two men but successive wins against Nottm Forest (4-0 in a cup […]

SCOTLAND: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Posted on: 27 Jan 2012

I COULD have started with Ayr v Killie in the League Cup semi-final – but I’ll leave it out because I know you guys don’t like me including the early one. There should be goals in that Ayrshire derby at Hampden and I reckon it will be a cracking contest. Anyway, my line starts with Hamilton v Raith Rovers in […]

JAN 28: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 27 Jan 2012

PUNTERS up and down the country will be looking to end January with a winning line – so let’s hope this weekend’s SFL treble comes up trumps. We don’t have a full card to play with because of League Cup semi-final fixtures but that shouldn’t stop us from giving the bookies a bashing. We start off in the Irn-Bru Second […]
