Nov 26: Europa League Group A Betting Preview

Posted on: 26 Nov 2015

SKIPPER Scott Brown is the latest player to be ruled out of Celtic’s crunch tie at home to Ajax. The enforced will be out for up to 12 weeks and Ronny Deila’s squad is stretched with Kris Commons injured and fellow midfielders Nir Bitton and Stefan Johansen banned. Brown’s experience and Commons’ guile will be especially missed and without those […]

HELP! My website is on fire!

Posted on: 10 Nov 2015

IT’S ALMOST 48 hours since the brand new version of MrFixitsTips launched and I’m amazed at the response it has received in such a short space of time, especially given some of the teething problems we’ve experienced. I thought I’d write a brief note to cover a few queries and provide a few more pointers to help you get the […]

OCT 22: EUROPA LEAGUE BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 21 Oct 2015

CELTIC boss Ronny Deila returns to Norway on Thursday but will he leave with three points? The former Stromsgodset gaffer has targeted back-to-back wins against the perceived weakest team in Group A but may have to settle for one point at Molde. The Norwegian champions lead a tight Group A by two points after winning at Fenerbahce. All other matches […]

BETTING STRATEGY: LONG SHOTS OR SHORT ODDS

Posted on: 10 Sep 2015

IT was interesting when I put up my 10-team Saturday Super Single shortlist this week that one of the first comments was “I wonder what the tenfold pays?” Turns out it was about 900-1 but I can pretty much guarantee it won’t come up. A couple of people have risked £1 and there’s nothing wrong with that but all those […]

AUG 6: ABERDEEN v ALMATY BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 05 Aug 2015

ABERDEEN performed a great escape in Kazakhstan to keep alive their Europa League hopes. The Dons have a decent chance of qualifying for the play-off stage after battling back from a horror start to lose 2-1 at Kairat Almaty last week. After conceding two early goals Derek McInnes’s men won the second half with Kenny McLean’s strike and are 11-10 […]

JUNE 25: RAALJACA’S GOALS BETS

Posted on: 24 Jun 2015

RAALJACA put up one tip on Wednesday and then advised cover on the Chiasso v Dynamo Bucharest match to ensure a tidy profit. He also advised an antepost on Hibs to win the Scottish Championship without Rangers at 4-5. For me Hibs will finish top two and I wouldn’t be betting on the Ibrox men for the title until everything […]

JUNE 19: RAALJACA’S GOALS BETS

Posted on: 19 Jun 2015

IT wasn’t a good day on the football for raaljaca with two losers but one of his popular golf bets landed. He tipped Patrick Reed at 50-1 ew to be first-round leader at the US Open and after a 66 he finished third. So Reed’s a potential winner for raaljaca and Ace Venturer is also happy with two of his […]

MAY 5: JUVE v REAL MADRID PREVIEW

Posted on: 04 May 2015

WE could be set for another all-Spanish Champions League Final (7-5, William Hill) with Real Madrid and Barcelona favourites to negotiate tricky last-four ties. First up tonight Real visit newly-crowned Italian champions Juventus and tomorrow Pep Guardiola faces his former side as Barcelona tackle Bayern Munich in what should be a cracker. Real are a best 4-9 at Betfred to […]

DAY 6: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 05 Feb 2015

ROD (Punting For Fun) notched his second win on the spin thanks to Groningen not to lose and Judd Trump to win in the snooker. The double paid 1.94 and I defaulted him to five points as he didn’t pick a stake. Long-shot Lee didn’t have any joy with his four-timer and is still to land a winner. Rod and […]

FEB 7-8: WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH CUP STATS

Posted on: 05 Feb 2015

IT’S William Hill Scottish Cup weekend with big ties such as Dundee v Celtic and small ones like Spartans v Berwick. Let’s hope for some smashing matches and who knows what we’ll get when Rangers blood their three fit on-loan Newcastle players against Raith Rovers. As usual William Hill’s Owen Scotts has dug up some interesting stats for the eight […]

DAY 4: BANK BUILDER v LONG SHOT TRIAL

Posted on: 03 Feb 2015

A LOT has been said about this trial but one thing Rod (Punting For Fun) has proved is there’s no point in backing a 1-14 shot. He managed three out of four on his 4-5 linewith Young Boys draw no bet the only to beat him as they lost a friendly to minnows Biel. Lee managed two out of four […]

JAN 11: SERIE A BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 10 Jan 2015

JUVENTUS travel to Napoli in Serie A’s game of the day with the leaders’ 1-1 draw at Inter Milan on Tuesday being their third draw in last four league games. The result kept Juve at the top of the standings but just one point ahead of Roma. Juve haven’t won at Napoli in Serie A since the 2000-01 campaign and […]

DEC 30: CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 29 Dec 2014

ANYONE still fancy having a football bet in 2014? It’s a funny old game after all. We were all on a high on Friday night after battering the bookies but results have pretty much gone their way since. There are three big Championship games on Tuesday and going by form there should be wins for Derby, Ipswich and Wigan – […]

SPFL: LATEST BETTING NEWS & STATS PACK

Posted on: 29 Dec 2014

THERE’S been a huge debate in Scotland in the past couple of days about whether Aberdeen or anyone else can take the title from Celtic. The champions have dropped five points in two games to allow Aberdeen to close the gap at the top to just two points. Questions are again being asked of boss Ronny Deila and his men […]

DEC 29: LIVERPOOL v SWANSEA BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 28 Dec 2014

I DECIDED I’be backing against Liverpool in their next game as I watched the highlights of their win against Burnley on Boxing Day. It was a 1-0 steal for the Anfield men who looked terrible apart from one moment of magic that resulted in Philippe Coutinho setting up Raheem Sterling for a good goal. If Brendan Rodgers is going to […]

DEC 28: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 27 Dec 2014

MOST English teams will play their second game in three days on Sunday and that makes picking winners fraught with danger. No one should go daft with stakes or big accumulators because the only certainty is there will be some surprise results. Clubs with bigger than average squads should do best so the likes of Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini […]

DEC 27: SCOTTISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 26 Dec 2014

IAN BARACLOUGH started his Motherwell career with victory at St Mirren last week and his influence has been talked up by players since he was appointed. Well have a chance of making it two wins in a row – especially if they give midfielder Lionel Ainsworth a sniff at goal. Baraclough may or may not know this but the Englishman […]

DEC 23: COWDENBEATH v HEARTS TIPS

Posted on: 23 Dec 2014

THERE is only one game in two on Tuesday and my Daily Record column is devoted to the Scottish Championship clash between Cowdenbeath and leaders Hearts. I don’t usually reproduce my newspaper columns on the site but when I’ve only looked at this match it’s difficult not to. The Jambos remain unbeaten and untouchable in the league and I can’t […]

DEC 22: STOKE v CHELSEA BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 21 Dec 2014

A COUPLE of weeks ago bookies looked ready to pay out on Chelsea to win the title – but five wins a row have cast doubts over Jose Mourinho’s side’s ability to stay at the summit. Just when his men were looking invincible they lost at Newcastle and that’s given sides such as City a bit of hope going into […]

DEC 22: ITALIAN SUPER CUP TIPS

Posted on: 21 Dec 2014

JUVENTUS and Napoli travel to Doha for the annual Italian Super Cup fixtures which is being played overseas five times. The Italian champs have won on the last two occasions including a 4-2 win over Napoli in Beijing in 2012 so it’s clear they take it seriously even if doesn’t carry the importance of a Serie A match. Both sides […]

DEC 21: ENGLISH FOOTBALL BETTING PREVIEW

Posted on: 20 Dec 2014

THERE are two massive Premier League games on Sunday and I’m struggling to call either of them. First up it’s a Tyne-Wear derby between Newcastle and Sunderland followed by Liverpool v Arsenal which could be a cracker. Newcastle have suffered successive heavy defeats at Arsenal in the league and Spurs in the Capital One Cup but before that Alan Pardew’s […]

DEC 20: CLUB WORLD CUP FINAL

Posted on: 20 Dec 2014

IT’S that time of year when the European juggernauts pack their suitcases and get on with the business of conquering the world. Real Madrid cruised to a semi-final win against Cruz Azul in midweek and face Argentina’s San Lorenzo in the Club World Cup Final in Morocco. Carlo Ancelotti’s side are on a 21-match winning run and aren’t ready to […]
