There are so many promotion and relegation permutations at play at the this stage of the season that it would give Albert Einstein a sore head.
BBC Sport have made a valiant attempt to explain whats going on at the top and bottom of all the leagues in Scotland and England and it's well worth a read as part of your research for Saturday's bets.
Things are releatively clearcut at the Scottish Premiership and it could be a huge day for three teams try to avoid the drop. Hamilton have the most to do, but they always seem to pull it off and their latest great escape needs to start today with a win at St Mirren.
The Buddies have the small matter of the Scottish Cup semi-final next week on their minds so will be forgiven for having their minds elsewhere which plays right in to the Accies' hands. Brian Rice's side are 9/2 to get a much needed win against what's likely to be a weaker St Mirren side and they make a very appealing 6/5 shot in the draw no bet market at Bet365.
Ross County find themselves in a very similar situation. In much need of a win they visit Dundee Utd who are also safe in the Premiership have a semi-final date next week. Micky Mellon rested several key men prior to their stunning 3-0 cup win at Pittodrie last week and County are 2/1 at Ladbrokes to claim a vital three points.
We've seen teams switch off after securing Championshipd and promotions in recent weeks and it might pay to back against teams that done their work for the season. Watford for example are already promoted and travel to Brentford who still have lots of football still to play. The Bees are 29/20 to win.
In the Premier League Man City should move another step closer to the title with a win at Crystal Palace in the early kick-off while Fulham's fate could be all but sealed if they lose at Stamford Bridge in the early evening match against Chelsea.
Leeds Utd look overpriced at 12/5 to win at Brighton who have recorded just two wins at home all season.

Racing Tips – Welcome Rizzel Tips!
Today we welcome Rizzel Tips to the team as our lead racing tipster following Thommo's retirement. He's written up a brilliant preview of Saturday's racing with no less than seven horses that ctahc his eye at Punchestown, Goodwood and of course the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.
Golf Tips
At the end of Day 2 at the Valspar Open The Caddy's 80/1 outsider tip Keegan Bradley is still in the lead. He's been joined by Sam Burns on -12 but both are four strokes ahead of the chasing pack so in a great position to be there or thereabouts come Sunday.
The Caddy's other tip Sungjae Im is still in with shout T6 on -7 so it should be another nail-biter for followers of our top golf tipster's tips.
Good luck with all your bets on Saturday!

Early one for the old firm on Sunday.
Jack Simpson to be carded @ 11/2 (bet365)
Simpson is 4th choice rangers centre back but will start this game due to injury. He’s barely played since joining in January and when he has I haven’t felt comfortable watching him and feel he’s capable of a few mistakes and being a bit rash.Has the potential to be a good signing , but ideally wouldn’t have him starting an old firm. With most bookies offering around the 7/2 mark , will take this while it’s there at 11/2.
Good luck 🤞

⚽️ Swansea to beat Derby @ 2.80 w B365 NAP ⚽️
Reasoning – classic end of season bias at play here with Bookies pricing Derby up solely on fact that they need to win. No rationale for this as form is atrocious and Swansea still need to keep momentum up for play offs and securing a decent position as to who they play and home/away. If this game was played a few weeks ago I reckon Swansea would be odds on.
⚽️ Crewe to beat Bristol Rovers @ 2.3 w B365 – Next Best ⚽️
Reasoning – Bristol Rovers have totally imploded under Joey Barton and face a decent Crewe team in good form on the road. Again was expecting this closer to 2.0 odds wise
Will also put a small stake on the double at B365 with early payout which pays 6.30

WINNER . In just before half time . Good start to the day
One of the poorest Saturday cards I’ve seen for a while, however I’ve picked out my two best bets for a nice looking double. Heracles should beat a VVV side who’ve lost their last 11 on the bounce. Then I think Lens will net at a PSG side who’ve struggled at home and will have one eye on the 2nd leg of the champions league. Lens are unbeaten in 13 and have scored in 12 of them.
Heracles vs VVV Venlo
Heracles to win

I took sky bets offer of evens for Sterling to have one shot on target and was perplexed to see it settled as a loss.
I’ve checked there rules and will say one thing they are as fly as a bag of monkeys and I will never use them again.
H
Those skybet boosts for player shots on target are voodoo stuff. I’m convinced all the players are in on it 😂
Mind someone had a freekick and the keeper tipped it onto the post and it went out, ref didn’t see the touch and gave a goal kick then Skybet saying cos a corner wasn’t given it doesn’t count, Twitter was funny that day 😂
Dropped Sky years ago corrupt as Feck Sure Mr. F. never used them too.
Sterling could have had a hat trick. Poor form from Skybet.
Are you surprised?? They’ve been at it for years…I never touched it today but usually stick it on every week

World Championship – To Reach the Final
Mark Selby – To Reach the Final @ 2.37
I put £200 on expecting a return of £475
William hill have only paid £237 back saying the following:
Your bet were computed as 11/8 = 1.375 + 1 = 2.375 x £200 stake = £475 divided by Deadheat 2 = 237.50 . This was settled correct Deadheat between Mark Selby| and Shaun Murphy|
I’m foaming!!!!
Have they employed Dianne abbot ?.
200 at 11-8 pays 475 as you say.
Looks like a computer glitch, in racing a dead heat would reduce the win element on a dead heat.
They have paid you as a dead heat which to a moron looks correct as 2 have reached the final
Demand a stewards enquiry
Cheers for the reply Elvis, Yes they have morons working for them!!! They have finally settled it correctly after an hour of arguing.
Nice one on your Egypt bet mate, I followed you again, keep them coming, all the best :)
