Betting Tips

The less said about last month the better. That is all.
Burnley v Stoke, Wednesday 7:45pm
Under 2.5 goals, £6 at 4-6 (Paddy Power)
Who would have picked this as a Premier League fixture three years ago? Not I, but now I can hardly imagine a world without Delap’s long throws.  In recent history, these two have slogged [...]

So with a month of pre-season under my belt, the serious betting can begin. As you can probably tell I like a long shot or two but this month I’m going to try and tighten the maverick tendencies so that you don’t have to tighten the purse strings. To kick of the month I have [...]

I’m not going to sit here and brag about winning the February leg of the tipster challenge, but in fairness it was a healthy £45+ profit for the month that won it for me. But the March edition brings new challenges; Champions’ League knockout second legs, FA Cup quarter-finals, and of course Colchester v Brentford. [...]

After Dom’s accusations of my underhand tactics, all I can do is confirm that all allegations are true. I am the dirtiest player in the game. And if you want to be the man, you’ve got to beat the man (me, ie, reigning betting champion). The Colchester postponement leaves me with an extra [...]

I’ve been on the end of some unwarranted stick from my fellow tipsters this week because of my backing of Fulham at 1/2 in a previous article. But as I said to Sned, Man United were 2/9 against West Ham in an all Premier League game this week, yet Fulham were 1/2 against a League [...]

My debut month is coming to a close and I am still in the running, but only just. Whilst it is ‘optimistic’ betting that has put me so far behind I feel it is only right to stick to my maverick nature to see if I can’t replicate a comeback worthy of a scouse-filled Istanbul. [...]

Well Dom has stormed into a lead this week on the back of his bold 1-2 tips and Tom has been left way behind with his long shots. Can steady Eddie here make up the deficit and retain his title as betting king?

Our new tipster is still feeling his way into proceedings but it would be unwise to rule him out of this month’s race just yet. Tom “The Fish” Salmon could yet ‘leap’ into the lead with a comeback of momentous ’scale’. Anyway, enough puns on Tom’s nickname, it’s time to ‘plaice’ a few [...]

So it turns out I can’t give good tips. Or to put it another way, Carlisle can’t see out a draw with five minutes to go, Leicester could do without their top goal-scorer suffering a double fracture of the jaw, and Mancini likes to play three holding midfielders at home against relegation candidates. As for [...]

I’ve taken a leaf out of Sned’s book and gone with picking a half for most goals in my selections this week, I will however be avoiding his tactic of crying myself to sleep on Valentine’s day. Still, if his bets come good then he’ll be wiping the tears away with £20 notes. Tom “The [...]
