IT’S a busy midweek with a full card of Premier League games but only two tonight – Everton v Arsenal and Bournemouth v Leicester. Everton’s loss to Watford at the weekend made it one win in nine after a good start and the pressure’s starting to build on Ronald Koeman although he has a three-year deal. Arsenal, meanwhile, are on […]

WHO will look more like champions tonight – Leicester or Man City? That’s the big question as the Champions League hopefuls meet head on at the King Power after under-performing in the Premier League. Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri fielded reserves at home as his side wrapped up their Group G campaign with a shocking 5-0 defeat at Porto while Pep Guardiola […]

ONLY fatigue can stop Celtic extending their lead at the top of the Premiership tonight. Brendan Rodgers’s side face Partick Thistle just three days after a gruelling 90-minute battle with Man City. Celtic have handled their busy schedule with just two points dropped at Inverness and are unlikely to freshen things up a little. The Jags have been nearly men […]

TONIGHT’S all about the Europa League and here’s a summary of how the groups stand, what teams are through and what others need to do to make the last 32. Man United need a draw at Zorya to progress from Group A but the game is doubtful due to a frozen pitch. United trail Fenerbahce by one point and lead Feyenoord by […]

Today I’m delighted to launch my first app which is available in the App Store (for those of you using iOS on an iPhone or iPad) and right here for those of you on the Android operating system. The new app is brilliantly […]

THE jury’s still out on Man City under Pep Guardiola but Chelsea look the team to beat with Antonio Conte at the helm. Pep started at a rate of knots with 10 wins in a row before the wheels came off against Celtic. A 3-1 defeat of Barcelona showed their class but since then City have been ordinary with two […]

WITH the possibility Rangers can drop down to fourth in the Premiership on Saturday Scottish firm McBookie.com are asking where they will finish in the league. At the moment a second place is still favourite at 5-4 but that does make them odds on to finish further down the table. They are 15-8 for third, 2-1 for fourth and 33-1 […]

THE Alfred Dunhill Championship will be hosted by the Leopard Creek Country Club in South Africa where it has been situated since 2004. The Gary Player designed course is on the southern edge of the Kruger National Park and there is plenty of wildlife on view, ranging from crocodiles to elephants and buffalos. But no Tigers – Woods is playing elsewhere […]

WHILE Celtic play trophy monopoly Rangers have been using their get out of jail free card. Injury-time winners against Dundee and Partick Thistle have lifted the Ibrox men into second but they could be locked out of the points at Tynecastle tonight. Only three points separate Gers, Aberdeen and Hearts and the race for second should go to the wire. […]

THE 2017 Race to Dubai starts on two continents this weekend with the Australian PGA Championship and the Alfred Dunhill in South Africa. The PGA takes place at the RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast in Queensland. With tight fairways and undulating greens the Graham Marsh re-designed Championship Course could cause a few problems. It has been won […]

LIVERPOOL v Leeds used to be one of England’s biggest games – but that’s just a distant memory. Leeds have been out of the top flight too long (12 years) so trips to the likes of Anfield are rare treats. Garry Monk’s men are on a run of good form and promotion is the No.1 priority so players are likely […]

BRENDAN RODGERS will be glad to see the back of Messi – now he can concentrate on cleaning up! The Celtic boss wants nothing less than a treble – that’s 11-5 at McBookie – and with the title almost won already he can lift trophy No.1 at Hampden. Aberdeen stand in his way in the Betfred Cup Final and the […]

CHELSEA and Liverpool have taken advantage of no European football – and both should win today after another free midweek. Leaders Chelsea face the tougher of tests at home to unbeaten Spurs who have looked jaded in recent weeks. A scrambled victory against West Ham last week was their first in seven and they were poor as they crashed out […]

IT’S Europa League night and once again we have to consider team news and take into account the fact some sides have already qualified. Let’s start in Group A where Feyenoord, Fenerbahce and Man United are fighting for the top two places. Fenerbahce are 4-9 at bet365 to beat basement boys Zorya and should do so. United and Feyenoord face […]

THERE’S nothing happening in the world of golf this week with the exception of the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne. I’m not fond of betting on team tournaments but because of the lack of anything else I’ll have a go. Australia ran away with the title three years ago, winning by 10 strokes at nearby Royal Melbourne. There is […]

IT was quite a night in the Champions League with loads of goals and the highest-scoring match in history. Hopefully there will be a repeat on Wednesday but sometimes the opposite is the case. Dortmund 8, Legia Warsaw 4 beat Monaco’s 7-3 win against Deportivo and well done to anyone who was on over 11.5 match goals. So let’s start […]

AT the start of the season people laughed when bookies rated Leicester 10 times more likely to win the Champions League than defend their title. Bookies were spot on with the prices – and now the Foxes are 25 more times likely to rule in Europe than retain their Premier League crown. They are 40-1 to win the Champions League […]

DONALD TRUMP’S not the most popular American in Wales – but Swansea fans will probably back him ahead of bungling Bob Bradley. The former USA gaffer’s appointment didn’t go down well and there’s been no new-boss bounce to appease the support. The Swans have taken one point in four games since Bradley arrived and are unlikely to leave Everton with anything even […]

It’s called the Racebets Jackpot Freeroll and is FREE […]

CELTIC have been without 14 players this week – and Brendan Rodgers could leave them all out and still beat Killie tonight. That’s the harsh reality with the champions in a league of their own this season. Rodgers has been moaning about playing a day early after the internationals but the only players affected should be long travellers Tom Rogic, […]

ALEX NOREN gave me my third winner in three weeks last weekend as he won the Nedbank Challenge. The Swede was 20-1 antepost but much bigger than that when he trailed by six shots going into the final round. He fired a super 65 to win by six and could again be the man to beat this weekend. The top […]

SEA ISLAND in Georgia was hit badly in September by Tropical Storm Hermine and later at the end of the month by Hurricane Matthew – so for the resort to be able to hold the RSM Classic this week is remarkable. Both the Seaside and the Plantation Courses will be used and are ranked easiest in both fairways hit and […]

GARETH BALE’S reacted to his bumper pay rise with three goals in two games – and that’s good news for Wales. The Real Madrid star briefly became the world’s highest-paid player before Cristiano Ronaldo was handed a £500k-plus weekly deal. But when you play for Wales cash isn’t the concern – and Chris Coleman will need his talisman to be […]

IT’S been the year of the underdog. First Leicester then Brexit and finally Donald Trump. Bookies reported a £5 wager on that treble would have returned up to £12million … but could Scotland beating England at Wembley tonight Trump them all? A best price of 10-1 with McBookie is bigger than Brexit was in the closing weeks and higher than Trump was […]
