ACE VENTURER has often been described as the best golf tipster on the internet – and he just proved it. Our man topped anything he’s done in the past by landing a 2322-1 double on Sunday. First he watched 22-1 chance Hideki Matsuyama romp to victory in the WGC-HSBC Champions event in Shanghai. Then came the coup de grace – […]

FINDING value in the English top flight is difficult – especially with all of the leading contenders dropping points. Last week my main selections were Leicester and West Ham and a 3-1 double landed with a last-minute winner from the Londoners. Looking at this weekend’s card and it’s the same problem. Man City at West Brom, Arsenal at Sunderland, Man […]

EIGHT of the world’s top 10 players roll up to the Sheshan International GC, Shanghai for the 2016 edition of the WGC-HSBC Champions. Shanghai has suffered the hottest summer in 130 years but recently five inches of rain fell on the course in 48 hours. Although the forecast is for some rain it probably won’t affect the venue. Fairways are […]

THE par 72 Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi hosts the Sanderson Farms for the third year in a row. Last season in his first full year on the Tour Patton Kizzire started with a T2 at the Shriners and followed that up with a T4 at the Sanderson Farms. This year he started with a 2nd at what is […]

CELTIC are possibly the shortest price they’ve been tonight for a trip to Dingwall. Anyone want to take them at a best 1-3 with Betfred? I said Aberdeen were too short at Hamilton last night and look what happened to them. The difference is Brendan Rodgers’s has a bigger squad and while he’ll make changes his side should be too […]

ABERDEEN head for Hamilton tonight on a high – so let’s hope they don’t suffer a low. Teams often have a bad reaction to a big result and Derek McInnes must lift his men three days after reaching the Betfred Cup Final. The Dons weren’t at their fluent best as they scraped past Championship outfit Morton 2-0 but got the job […]

ANOTHER 0-0 draw would be tough to take on the back of three I’ve watched in the past week. But I fear the worst when Jose Mourinho makes his much aniticpated return to Chelsea. We know what happened when he blanked out Liverpool at Anfield in one of the worst high-profile Premier League matches of all time. Usually when Jose […]

ABERDEEN as expected booked their place in the Betfred Cup semi-finals where they await the winners of Rangers v Celtic. I couldn’t see past the Dons and backed Adam Rooney to score first at 7-2 but expected Morton to net. So now we turn to the big Old Firm derby. Celtic romped the first Old Firm meeting 5-1 last month – and I […]

IT’S semi-final weekend in the Betfred Cup with Morton v Aberdeen followed by the big one – Rangers v Celtic. Scots firm McBookie.com go odds on it will be a Dons-Celtic final and offer 5-2 on Aberdeen-Rangers. Spokesman Paul Petrie said: “The odds suggest straightforward wins for both Aberdeen and Celtic. However, history shows semi-finals are never that easy and […]

WEST HAM’S stadium move has brought in more fans and fewer points but that could be about to change. Moving from Upton Park to the Olympics athletics venue was always going to be a big test and some have said Hammers’ home games have less atmosphere than the moon. Slaven Bilic’s side edged their league opener against Bournemouth 1-0 and since […]

THE PGA event staged in Asia is being held for the fourth time at the TPC Kuala Lumpur (West) course in Malaysia. The 7005-yard, par 72, was opened in 1991 and had a complete revamp by Ted and Geoff Parslow. Last year winner Justin Thomas went round in -26 so looks like it could be a birdiefest with GIR and […]

THE Victoria Clube de Golfe Course in Vilamoura is again this year’s host for the Portugal Masters, the 10th year in a row. With the Final Series coming up there is plenty to play for those in with a chance of getting into the lucrative finish to the season. Last week’s winner Alex Noren and Ryder Cup hero Thomas Pieters […]

CELTIC’S dynamic display against Man City has raised expectations but they’re still underdogs in matchday three. That’s the way Brendan Rodgers will like it as he prepares for a make-or-break Champions League clash with Borussia Monchengladbach. Celtic are a best 9-4 at Unibet to win and should at least take a point from poor travellers. They are 7-10 at Coral […]

AT the start of the season Leicester were rated 10 times more likely to win the Champions League than retain their title. That seemed crazy but now Claudio Ranieri’s men’s chances of being crowned European kings is 15 times better than lifting the Premier League – and the Italian boss knows it. In reality the Foxes have as much hope […]

LIVERPOOL have the chance to go joint top of the Premier League if they can beat Man Utd tonight in what Sky Sports are billing as “Red Monday” and here’s what Selectabet thinks from a Spread Betting perspective. It could be “red” Monday in more ways than one at Anfield tonight. This fixture has seen the second highest number of […]

IT could be a magical Monday with one of English football’s greatest rivalries being played out. And of course not only is it Liverpool v United it’s Jurgen Klopp v Jose Mourinho in English football for the first time. Liverpool have looked the better of the two sides this season and with Man City’s perfect start just a memory they have […]

MAN CITY’S perfect start to the season is a distant memory but they’re still the team to beat in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s winning run in all competitions was ended by Celtic and that was followed by a first defeat at Spurs. The result wasn’t a huge surprise as White Hart Lane is one of the toughest places to […]

DOMESTIC bliss is back after a break for internationals – and fans in Scotland are particularly relieved. Tonight’s treat is Inverness v Rangers and while it should be good armchair entertainment it feels like one of those matches where bookies have priced it wrong. Richie Foran’s side have recovered well after a poor start and are unbeaten in five – including […]

THE British Masters rolls up to The Grove in Hertfordshire with not the greatest line-up but should still be an intriguing weekend. I played The Grove about five years ago and to be honest wasn’t that impressed but seemingly it has improved quite a bit and if the weather holds there should be some great golf on display. Ross Fisher […]

THE first tournament of this season’s PGA Tour is the Safeway Open at the Silverado Resort (North Course) in California with three of the top 25 World Tour ranking players – Phil Mickelson, Paul Casey and Matt Kuchar – taking part. GIR and scrambling could be important on this course with maybe driving accuracy also worth a look. Standout for this week […]

BUT for Spain scoring two more than predicted against Liechtenstein Selectabet would have landed a spectacular 326-1 treble during the last round of World Cup qualifying fixtures so he’s back again to give it another go in the hope that the minnows of UEFA take a beating once more… Followers of my posts will know I hate international football and […]

IT’S back to “normal” golf this week with the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. Each pro will be partnered by an amateur and take part on the three courses with the final round back on the Old Course. A few of the defeated European team will be taking part and although I would love to back […]

EUROPE are up against it going into the final day of the Ryder Cup after a poor afternoon session on Saturday. A 3-1 defeat means the USA lead 9.5-6.5 going into the 12 singles matches and that’s a big lead. It’s reflected in the prices with USA 1-5 with most firms and Europe 13-2 at betfair. The draw pays 12-1 […]

SPURS boss Mauricio Pochettino would have watched Man City’s Champions League qualifier in midweek and thought: We can beat this lot! City have been unstoppable in England this season and it’s taken a Scottish team to show how to compete against them. Pep Guardiola’s side defend their 100 per cent league record at White Hart Lane tomorrow and it promises […]

IT was a fascinating start to the Ryder Cup with USA almost out of sight in the morning foursomes before Europe clawed back to trail 5-3 overnight with some great golf in the foursomes. Darren Clarke will hope his side do better this morning – and let’s face they can’t do any worse. America’s pairing look stronger today and my […]
