I’VE teamed up with Scots firm McBookie.com to offer one person a very Merry Christmas. At such an expensive time of year what could be better than £250 in your hand – today! You could finish your Christmas shopping or buy a stack of booze for your festive dinner – or simply splash out on the Boxing Day sales.The choice […]

IT was a midweek that saw tips from all round Europe – Scotland, England, Ireland, France, Spain and Italy to name some. My Wednesday single was Demba Ba to score first and of course the Newcastle striker netted second and added another. That was good enough for Stuart Whinnery, one of 20 people to tip winners. He took Ba at […]

SPURS need to avoid defeat in the London derby to have the capital bragging rights over Christmas. Chelsea haven’t won at White Hart Lane for six years and I’d have fancied a full-strength Spurs. But boss Harry Redknapp is without Aaron Lennon and has doubts over Gareth Bale, Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor. If Bale and Lennon don’t make it […]

IT was four out of five on a fairly limited Tuesday card with only Berwick failing to score. I’d love to go one better tonight and there are many more games to choose from. Unfortunately many of them are continental cup matches and how they go depends on the strength of side put out by the top teams. Anyway let’s […]

THERE are so many markets available these days it’s difficult to cover all bases. As well as win-draw-win markets there are the well-known first scorer, correct score, handicap, over/under and HT betting. Both teams to score is now one of the most placed bets and there are loads more obscure offerings such as first goal time bands and total goal […]

ALL over Europe there are games dotted about in the league and cups. I’m starting my line with the two Premier League matches, Blackburn v Bolton and Wolves v Norwich. I’ve previewed the games on the site so I won’t go into boring detail. To sum up there could be plenty of goals at Ewood Park between two sides who […]

Ewood Park, Tuesday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 THERE have been some massive games in England so far but probably none bigger than Tuesday’s Blackburn v Bolton relegation scrap. OK, it doesn’t match the likes Man Utd v Man City or Chelsea v Arsenal for glitz and glamour but there will be a huge prize for the victor at […]
Posted on: 19 Dec 2011
Molineux, Tuesday, 7.45pm IF Blackburn v Bolton is a massive match then this affair at Molineux is almost as important to Wolves. Mick McCarthy’s men are down in fourth bottom, five clear of Bolton and four ahead of Blackburn, as they prepare to welcome Norwich. Wolves threw away a golden chance of points against Stoke at the weekend and like Blackburn […]

Another week, another raft of impressive Super Singles. Well done to those of you that picked a winner! This week’s winners of the free £10 bet at bet365 have been randomly chosen as Justin Lo, Darren McGregor and Steven Brown. There’s not too many fixtures to choose from this midweek so I expect we may see some of you cast […]

Monday, Selhurst Park, 7.45pm, live on Sky Sports 1 SOME games cry out shortage of goals and this is one of them. I’d like to be wrong because you want a Monday night spectacle but Palace v Brum has tightness and dourness written all over it. Palace have drawn four in a row at home, three 0-0s and a 1-1 […]

MAN CITY are now 66-1 with William Hill to win all four trophies available to them after climbing back to the top of the EPL. City were second to city rivals United for a matter of hours before beating Arsenal 1-0 at home. Roberto Mancini’s men are 4-6 favourites to win the Premier League title with Hills who also offer […]

I PICKED five out of six in the English Premiership on Saturday and I’m hoping for a similar result today. The correct tips included draws at Everton and Newcastle while Blackburn’s defeat was the one I got wrong. I’m looking at another draw in Sunday’s showdown between Man City and Arsenal. City are protectings a 110 per cent home record but […]

MY Scottish yesterday returned a treble with the other two postponed but my English one let us down. It was summed up by Peterborough keeping their first clean sheet of the season at home to Coventry. If you backed both lines you’ll have made a small profit so let’s invest it on the Sunday games. I’m starting with the big […]

JOE WALLACE is still laid up with a bad back so I’m continuing to fill in with the SFL treble. I’m starting with one of mine and Joe’s favourites. Stranraer have rattled in nine goals in two superb wins against East Stirling and Annan. The victories came after a run of four games without a win and have pushed the […]

GOT to start in the Premier League with Blackburn v West Brom. Rovers still haven’t kept a clean sheet since April but won their last home game 4-2 against Swansea. Steve Kean’s men conceded two goals in the last six minutes at Sunderland last week when it looked like they might get that elusive clean sheet. They’ll need a good […]

OUTSIDE the SPL the match of the day is Ross County v Dundee – and there could be plenty of goals at Victoria Park. First Division leaders County have carved out an eight-point lead at the top thanks to six wins in a row. They have netted 14 goals in four games and at this stage of the season are […]

THERE are a couple of League matches on Friday featuring two of the top teams. Second-placed Southend face Bradford at home while third-placed Cheltenham travel to Barnet. I’m not going to mess about with any fancy bets and simply go with a double on Southend and Cheltenham. Paul Sturrock’s Southend were beaten 3-0 by Cheltenham then rested some players as […]

Tuesday, McDiarmid Park, 7.45, live on Sky Sports 1 IT was a big night in for last night’s Chelsea v Man City showdown and it’s followed by SPL action from Perth tonight. After an explosive start I didn’t think the clash at Stamford Bridge was the best with both sides seemingly settling for a draw until City were reduced to […]
Posted on: 12 Dec 2011
Stamford Bridge, Monday, 8pm, live on Sky Sports 1 THERE’S no doubt Chelsea have perked up in recent weeks. Back-to-back 3-0 wins have restored faith in their Premier League credentials and sent them into the last 16 of the Champions League. Staying alive in Europe’s elite tournament is something Man City didn’t manage but in the Premier League they have […]

IT was yet another tough weekend for punters despite most of the big guns recording wins! But we still had some inspired Super Single entries so well done to all who picked a winner. This week’s winners of the free £10 bet at bet365 have been randomly chosen as Kevin McKenna, Gordon McKissock and Aaron McCormack. The Europa League dominates […]

THERE are two big games in the Premier League on Sunday with Sunderland tackling Blackburn and Spurs travelling to Stoke. I like the idea of backing on-form Spurs but not sure if Martin O’Neill can notch a win in his first game in charge of Sunderland. So let’s start at the Stadium of Light where the atmosphere should be electric […]

IT’S only a fortnight until Christmas – so now is the perfect time for a winning Scottish Football League treble that would fill us with festive cheer and have the bookies crying into their mulled wine. We kick off in the Irn-Bru First Division and focus on Dundee’s home clash with Queen of the South. After a bitterly disappointing start […]

WAYNE ROONEY has been cut from 16-1 to 7-1 by bet365 to be England’s top scorer at Euro 2012 after his ban was reduced two two games. He’s now 1-33 with bet365 to be picked for Fabio Capello’s finals squad after being cleared to play in the final group game against Ukraine. The Man United ace is 10-1 not to be […]

I GOT one wrong and one right with the Manchester clubs in the Champions League last night. No one predicted United to crash out in Basel but I expected City to beat an under-strength but still to finish third with Napoli winning in Villarreal. It really was a shocker for United and a result that could have serious repercussions at […]
