OCT 27: (NOT) MR FIXIT’S TIPS

Posted on: 27 Oct 2012

FOR a while this week it looked as though the lunatics had taken over the asylum in Mr Fixits’ absence but he’ll be back in time for next weekend (if he can get himself out of that Bangkok jail) you’ll be glad to hear. Betway have enhanced this week’s treble line of Chelsea, Rotherham & Hearts to 8-1.Given my appalling […]

OCT 23: TUESDAY’S TOP TIPS

Posted on: 23 Oct 2012

THE SOONER Mr Fixit returns the better I hear you cry. The weekend was a complete disaster but we’ve quickly got a chance to recover so here’s my best picks for tonight’s action in England and the Champions League. You can leave your tips in the comments section below. Good luck! HOMES Rochdale Tranmere Notts County Brentford Man Utd Perm […]

MAY 19: CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY-OFF FINAL TIPS

Posted on: 18 May 2012

West Ham v Blackpool, Wembley, 3pm, live Sky IT’S not the biggest game of the day but it’s certainly the richest. They say there is as much as £90million at stake for the winners of the Championship play-off final so you can see how important it is. So there are bound to be nerves at Wembley and it could be case […]

MAY 17: TORQUAY v CHELTENHAM TIPS

Posted on: 17 May 2012

Thursday, Plainmoor, 7.45, live Sky Sports 1 I WONDER how many neutrals support Cheltenham just because the name is so synonomous with racing. I’m big fan of Cheltenham (the Festival) but have never really got into Cheltenham (the football team). However, they are on the verge of a Wembley appearance after beating Torquay 2-0 in the first leg of the […]

MAY 16: PLAY-OFF BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 16 May 2012

LOOKS like I’m the play-off man this week as Mr Fixit concentrates on teeing off. I know it’s the end of the season but he’s taking more holidays than the Queen – and he’s paying me less than her corgis get. But I’ve got a cunning plan. I’m going to learn to dance then dress like a dog (Chunky’s showed […]

MAY 15: HUDDERSFIELD v MK DONS TIPS

Posted on: 15 May 2012

Tuesday, Galpharm Stadium, 7.45, live Sky Sports 1 ALL Rhodes could lead to Wembley tonight as Huddersfield continue their fight for promotion. Jordan Rhodes set the Terriers on their way to a 2-0 victory against MK Dons in last week’s first-leg tie and the Scotland star is again the man to watch at the Galpharm. It was the prolific Rhodes’ […]

MAY 14: SHEFF UTD v STEVENAGE BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 14 May 2012

MR FIXIT’S away spending his winnings so he’s asked me to have a look at this League One play-off. It’s a tough call and I reckon he’s decided to put me on the spot because he can’t pick a winner. Either that or he’s watching dodgy videos. I popped into his office last week and caught him on YouTube getting […]

MAY 5: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 05 May 2012

THEY think it’s all over – it is now. It’s the final weekend of action in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues before the end-of-season play-offs and I am determined to end on a high. And the missus has warned if I don’t get a winning treble up this weekend she will lock me in a room with Mr Fixit as […]

APRIL 28: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 27 Apr 2012

IT’S the penultimate weekend of action in the Scottish Football Leagues before the play-offs and I am determined to bring in some cash for the summer holidays. And I have the perfect motivation to pick a winning treble – if I don’t it will be a staycation at home with the missus! I’m telling you that would be worse than […]

EUROPA LEAGUE BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 26 Apr 2012

THE reign in Spain is mainly on the wane. Shock defeats for Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals ended La Liga’s domination of Europe this season. Attention now turns to the Europa League and there could be an all-Spanish final, with Sporting Lisbon the only side who can prevent that. Atletico Madrid are almost there after beating Valencia […]

APRIL 25: SERIE A BETTING TIPS

Posted on: 25 Apr 2012

JUST back from Italy so Mr Fixit reckoned I’d be the perfect person to put up some Serie A tips. Had a great four days in Florence but had to leave the girlfriend behind. After pigging out on pasta and pizza she couldn’t get on the plane as there were no extra seats. So it wasn’t a good night for […]

APRIL 21: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 20 Apr 2012

WE only have three weeks to go in the Irn-Bru Scottish Football Leagues – and three more chances to beat the bookies. Last Saturday on Grand National day my SFL treble hit the hurdles like so many horses at Aintree. But now is not the time for horsing around and I am looking to pick another winner and show I […]

APRIL 17: BAYERN v REAL MADRID

Posted on: 17 Apr 2012

I DON’T know what Mr Fixit was on last night but he tipped me a tennis player to score first. He texted me yesterday morning and said, “Here’s a good bet for tonight. Sevilla’s Rebredo at 19-10 with unibet.” Him being the boss I took him at his word and luckily regular reader Chris Guy pointed out we meant Negredo. […]

APRIL 16: EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 16 Apr 2012

MR FIXIT asked me to come up with a nice bet for tonight and you can’t get much nicer than Nice. They travel to Rennes in the French league aiming for three wins in a row and are as big as 5-1 with William Hill and BetVictor. Rennes are of course hot favourites but have only won one in six and […]

APRIL 14: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 13 Apr 2012

IT’S Grand National weekend and all eyes will be on Aintree at 4.15pm on Saturday. But while the focus is south of the border I’ve been quietly hunting down a winning treble. There will no doubt be a few donkeys running at Aintree (and my girlfriend isn’t one of them) but hopefully I can avoid any hurdles and come up […]

APRIL 13: FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 13 Apr 2012

IT’S Friday the 13th and I’m hoping it’s lucky for some. Luck can be measured in different degrees. For some it’s winning the lottery, for others it’s about a lift on the fixed odds and for me it’s going home and hoping the girlfriend’s got a headache. Friday the 13th has thrown up one helluva game in Southampton v Reading […]

APRIL 12: EUROPEAN FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 12 Apr 2012

MR  FIXIT’S asked me to have look at tonight’s games – and I can see why. He’s away getting his eyebrows plucked or something just as important and left me to look a card where nothing stands out. I’d rather have a Brazilian than try to pick some winners but needs must. The big game, I suppose, is the La Liga […]

APRIL 10: BLACKBURN v LIVERPOOL TIPS

Posted on: 10 Apr 2012

Ewood Park, Tuesday, 8pm ( live on Sky Sports 1) MR F asked me to put up an SFL midweek piece but having looked at the four First Division games they’re as tough to call as climbing Everest wearing flip-flops. Dundee will probably beat Queen of the South but the visitors, who are 9-2 at Coral, are fighting for their […]

APRIL 7: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 06 Apr 2012

MY line this Easter weekend could be eggstra special – and it doesn’t include any draws. I’ve taken plenty of stick for including a stalemate in last week’s line but at least I’m capable of sitting on the fence. My girlfriend did it once and it collapsed. There could be a repeat on Sunday after she hunts the stash of […]

GOOD FRIDAY FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 06 Apr 2012

IT’S Good Friday but it can’t be that good because I’m working. I noticed Mr Fixit commenting he was concentrating on the weekend tips but when he called me I’m sure I heard someone shouting “Fore” in the background. But maybe that’s a punter telling him how many lines he’s had up this season! Anyway that’s the rub of the […]

APRIL 3: ENGLISH FOOTBALL TIPS

Posted on: 03 Apr 2012

IT’S that time of year when sides wobble like a jelly or like my girlfriend’s rear end. Man City have been suffering too and it will be squeaky bum time for me if my lovely partner is reading this. Luckily she doesn’t know how to switch on a computer (is fine with an iron though) so I should be okay. Talking […]

WIN £50 BET ON COISTY GOALS

Posted on: 01 Apr 2012

FOLLOWING the news Ally McCoist is set to turn out again for Rangers this season, bookies have priced up some specials on the Ibrox boss. Coisty netted in Rangers Legends’ 1-0 defeat of AC Milan Glorie on Friday night and reckons he can fill the gap left by Nikica Jelavic. The 49-year-old is more used to playing the fool on […]

MARCH 31: SFL TREBLE

Posted on: 31 Mar 2012

I’VE enjoyed a great first week on the site, highlighted by my 11-1 SFL treble which was my debut post. I followed up with a 100 per cent success rate on Inverness v St Johnstone and last night my two main recommendations were spot on, Torquay and Freddy Eastwood to score for Southend. Unfortunately Borussia Dortmund conceded a last-second equaliser […]

MARCH 28: INVERNESS v ST JOHNSTONE

Posted on: 28 Mar 2012

Wednesday, Caledonian Stadium, 7.45pm FIRSTLY, thanks to everyone who commented on my debut post last weekend. I’ve taken over the SFL treble and started with an 11-1 winner. My teams were Ross County, Alloa and East Fife. It was going to be County, Alloa and Stranraer but have to give Mr Fixit some credit for steering me towards the Fifers […]
