Weekend Football Tips and Bets: December 21st-23rd

Oh my God! How bloody cold is it outside? It’s absolutely freezing. My hands are like two big blocks of ice at the moment. Also, is it me, or does everyone go a little bit more crazy at Christmas time with each passing year? Seriously, I was in town yesterday for a couple of [...]

Yet another update on those lovely folk over at SportingOdds.com

If you take a look back through the archives, you’ll see the history between this website and myself. It’s not good, to say the least. Well, I finally have some good news. Since they wouldn’t let me have my money back, not until I used at least half of it to bet with, I had [...]

Andy Totham: Kiss of Death

On Monday morning, even though I don’t like betting on the Carling Cup, or the UEFA Cup, I tipped Manchester City to do the business tonight against Spurs, as I thought 11/8 was a really good price for them, given their strong home record. When I picked up the papers this morning and looked in [...]

UEFA Cup and Carling Cup Betting Tips: December 18th-20th

To be honest with you, I don’t like the initial group stages of the UEFA Cup – especially at this late stage – simply because it involves so many unknown teams. It’s a minefield. For the most part, you’re taking a wild stab in the dark, which is why I’m avoiding this competition for the [...]

Grand Slam Double

Well, did you take my tip of Arsenal and Manchester United in a Grand Slam Double? I hope so. Although, I’m going to be honest with you – I went back on my word. I said I’d never put more than a £5 on this game. Well, I woke up yesterday morning feeling more confident [...]

Grand Slam Sunday

Do I love Grand Slam Sunday or what? Sure, the games don’t always live up to their hype, but you’re still pretty much guaranteed a lot of excitement, a lot of tension and above all else, a lot of drama. Speaking as a fan of one of those four teams, of course…
From a betting standpoint, [...]

The Championship is a minefield

A Championship team let me down once again last night, when red hot Burnley faltered at home, once again, to a battling QPR side. To be honest, it’s kind of my own fault, as I should have taken their poor home form into account more, but I still thought they’d have enough to put away [...]

Midweek Football Tips and Bets: December 11th-12th

In the Champions League, caution is the word, because considering this is the final round of group matches, you might find teams who have already qualified fielding weakened teams. With that said, let’s take a look at the action, starting with Tuesday’s games…
Chelsea have a fantastic record at home, BUT they’ve already qualified for the [...]

Eat My Shorts!

Well, I tipped fourteen teams in all for the weekend. I did pretty well, for the most part, although a few let me down. Among those few with Liverpool and Celtic, both of which turned out to be total shockers.
Here’s the fourteen:
Chelsea – Won
Everton – Won

Manchester United – Won
Liverpool [...]
