May 27: FA Cup Final Betting Preview

Posted on: 26 May 2017

CHELSEA have Arsenal to thank for their title success – but won’t be giving them a gift-wrapped FA Cup today. The Blues’ season turned when Antonio Conte changed to a back three after a 3-0 battering by the Gunners last September. Conte’s side never looked back from that moment on and clinched the title without a sweat as only Spurs […]

May 25: Dundee Utd v Hamilton Preview

Posted on: 24 May 2017

BOOKIES are struggling to find a favourite for the Premiership play-off final – and I don’t blame them. There’s not much between Dundee United and Hamilton with the Championship side better in attack but Accies more experienced to deal with this type of tie. United have battled through four tough 90 minutes against Morton and Falkirk to reach this stage […]

May 24: Europa League Final Preview

Posted on: 24 May 2017

MAN UNITED should justify their favourites’ tag to win the Europa League tonight. The Stockholm final is a contrast of styles – clinical but dull United versus an attacking and exhilarating Ajax. Neutrals will be pulling for the dazzling Dutch but Jose Mourinho is certain to come up with a plan that negates their quality and ambition as he aims to […]

Golf: Ace’s BMW PGA Championship Tips

Posted on: 23 May 2017

THE BMW PGA Championship returns to the Wentworth West Course which has had numerous changes since last year. Every green has been has been stripped of its turf and reseeded giving them a purer putting surface. Twenty nine bunkers have been removed and the rest have all been redesigned and restructured. With the work done to the greens, putting could […]

Golf: Ace’s Dean & Deluca Invitational Tips

Posted on: 23 May 2017

THE Colonial Country Club which hosts this week’s Dean & Deluca Invitational was founded in 1936 and is the longest running non-major Tour event held at the same venue. In 1941 the course in Fort Worth, Texas, staged the US Open, the first time it went south of the Mason-Dixon Line and the Tour made its first visit five years […]

May 21: Premier League Betting Preview

Posted on: 20 May 2017

THERE will be no Super Sunday in the Premier League – it’s just an ordinary day with no Great Escapes planned. Sunderland, Hull and Middlesbrough have already taken the plunge and Chelsea wrapped up the title without a fuss. All that’s to be settled is the final two Champions League places – and it’s really one as Liverpool will beat […]

May 19: Falkirk v Dundee Utd Betting Preview

Posted on: 18 May 2017

THE FIGHT for Premiership survival is going to the wire and the race to make the play-off final could also go all the way. Dundee United and Falkirk couldn’t be split in a humdinger of a semi-final first leg on Tuesday and picking a winner tonight is almost impossible. Home advantage could give Bairns the edge – and they’ve beaten […]

May 18: Partick Th v Celtic Betting Preview

Posted on: 17 May 2017

CELTIC have stayed focus since clinching the title and are just two wins away from an invincible season. Partick Thistle on the other hand have switched off since it was job done and they reached the top six. The Jags have suffered three defeats on the spin and now have fewer points than Ross County who are seventh. I can’t […]

Golf: Ace’s AT&T Byron Nelson Tips

Posted on: 17 May 2017

SINCE it was opened in 1983 the TPC Four Seasons has been remodelled twice, the last time by DA Weibring in 2008. The 7166 yards, par 70, has tree-lined fairways and there are eight holes where water comes into play. It has never been a players’ favourite, voted as one of the least popular courses on the Tour. Looking at the […]

Golf: Ace’s Rocco Forte Open Tips

Posted on: 17 May 2017

THE inaugural Rocco Forte Open will be played over a composite course combining holes from both the East and West Coast in Vendura, Sicily. The 7217 yards, par 71, has a linksy feel about it with the final six holes running adjacent to the coast. There isn’t a great field but at least there are some good prices on offer and […]

May 17: Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 16 May 2017

LAST time I tipped Aberdeen to win at Ibrox I ended up with egg on my face. Have I learned my lesson? Possibly. There’s nothing to play for with the Dons guaranteed second unless they lose about 9-0 but these fixtures always have an edge. Rangers were my Super Single last Saturday but struggled past 10-man Hearts and could find […]

May 16: Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 16 May 2017

THE only issue to be settled in the Premier League is the third and fourth Champions League places. Liverpool will seal theirs by beating Middlesbrough on Sunday so it’s a fight between Man City and Arsenal for the other spot. City lead the Gunners by three points with a better goal difference so victory at home to West Brom tonight […]

May 13: English Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 12 May 2017

SWANSEA have given themselves a great chance of avoiding the drop and must succeed where Hull failed last weekend. There was a huge turnaround in the drop battle as Hull crashed at home to relegated Sunderland and the Swans edged out Everton. Only one point separates the sides but the Welsh finish at relegated Sunderland and home to West Brom […]

May 13: Scottish Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 12 May 2017

PEDRO CAIXINHA claimed his side’s fightback to beat Partick Thistle was proof of their passion – but it’s something that looks lacking at Hearts. While Rangers netted two late goals to bounce back from their 5-1 defeat to Celtic it was the same old story for the Jambos who crashed tamely to Aberdeen. The jury’s out on Jambos boss Ian […]

May 12: Football Betting Preview

Posted on: 11 May 2017

CELTIC are closing in an invincible season and face their toughest test at Aberdeen tonight. The Dons would love to end Brendan Rodgers’s unbeaten run but would prefer to wreck the Treble bid at Hampden at the end of the month. While Aberdeen have all but clinched second spot they’ve netted just one goal in losing four times to the champions […]

May 11: Europa League Betting Preview

Posted on: 10 May 2017

JOSE MOURINHO has made reaching the Europa League final his No.1 priority in recent weeks and Man United should make it tonight. They kick off 1-0 up against Celta Vigo at Old Trafford and the margin should be greater. United were streets ahead of the Spanish in the away leg and only poor finishing kept the score down. Mourinho made […]

Golf: Ace’s Player Championship Tips

Posted on: 10 May 2017

THERE’S going to be some great golf over the next fours weeks prior to the US Open at Erin Hills and it all starts this week at TPC Sawgrass for the Players Championship. TPC Sawgrass, with its iconic 17th par-three island hole is a tough course to crack. When Pete Dye designed the track an island green wasn’t in his plans. […]

Golf: Ace’s Portugal Open Tips

Posted on: 10 May 2017

THE Portugal Open returns to the Morgado G&CC near Portimao on the Algarve for the first time in seven years. It is also a dual ranking with the European Challenge Tour. The last time the Portugal Open featured in the European Tour international schedule it was won by Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn in 2010. Two Major winners, Paul Lawrie […]

May 9: Juventus v Monaco Betting Preview

Posted on: 09 May 2017

I tipped Juve to qualify against the exciting French but was surprised by the ease of their win in the Principality. Tonight the result could be different.

May 9: Morton v Dundee United Betting Preview

Posted on: 09 May 2017

DUNDEE UNITED are 1-2 favourites to reach the Premiership play-off semi-finals but may have to settle for a draw in Greenock tonight. It was 1-1 at Cappielow on Saturday as the regular season finished and over the whole campaign the sides can’t be split. They’ve met five times, drawn the last three and each side has won 2-1 at home. […]

May 6: English Betting Preview

Posted on: 06 May 2017

WHEN Marco Silva took over at Hull they were already down in many people’s eyes – but it’s not all over yet. With three games to go the Tigers have gritted their teeth to stay just ahead of Swansea in the race to join Sunderland and Middlesbrough in the Premier League. Last week’s point at Southampton kept them two clear […]

May 4: Celta Vigo v Man Utd Betting Preview

Posted on: 04 May 2017

MAN UNITED boss Jose Mourinho is focusing on a Europa League win and his team should take a step closer to the Final tonight. Lifting the trophy seals a Champions League group spot and Mourinho’s men are evens favourites at bet365 to do so. The injuries have been stacking up for United and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a huge loss as the […]

Golf: Ace’s Wells Fargo Championship Tips

Posted on: 04 May 2017

I WAS delighted with last week’s 25-1 win in the China Open thanks to Alex Levy. After last week’s Zurich Classic team format the US Tour returns to normality with the Wells Fargo Championship. This competition is normally held at Quail Hollow but with the course being readied for the PGA Championship in August it has been moved to Eagle […]

May 3: Monaco v Juventus Betting Preview

Posted on: 02 May 2017

EUROPE’S best attack faces one of the meanest defences tonight – and that makes Monaco v Juventus tough to call. I tipped Monaco to KO Man City and Borussia Dortmund at big prices in the last two rounds and again they’re underdogs at 9-4 with McBookie to qualify and 21-10 at bet365 to win tonight’s home leg. On the face of […]
