    Competition: Win a £100 free bet at Skybet (March 1st 08)
    It Matters More When There’s Money On It…. How would you like to pick up a free £100 bet at Skybet just for predicting which team will score the first goal on Saturday according to Jeff Stelling and his trusty Sky Sports Soccer Saturday vidiprinter? No-one has been able to pick the correct team so far so we’re moving on to Competition number 3. Select which...

    Carling Cup Final Betting: Spurs v Chelsea
    The first piece of silverware of the season is up for grabs today when Tottenham Hotspur face up to Avram Grant’s Chelsea at Wembley. When Juande Ramos arrived at the Lane he brought with him a tremendous cup pedigree, having lifted the UEFA Cup in successive seasons with Sevilla (as well as a Copa del Rey) and he’s made his mark in England already, albeit...

    Today’s Football Coupon Tips: 23rd Feb – 25th Feb
    Can Andy Totham of The Sun follow up on last weeks success when he got all his Homes up, plus his Six-Up came in and to top it off he nailed a 4-team accumulator Special Bet at 48/1? I don’t think he’ll have many weeks like that again but fingers crossed. Mr Fixit of the Daily Record has also been in top form. He’s tipped up 4 Super Singles on the trot...

    Warning: Beware the bogus tipsters
    Did you see Derren Brown: The System on Channel 4 a few weeks ago? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX94fV4TWbc&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=0] If so, you’ll be aware that there’s no such thing as a ‘guaranteed system’. (If not, I recommend you watch all of it here). Derren perfectly illustrated just how easy...

    Derren Brown: The System
    This made for interesting viewing a few weeks ago as Derren Brown claimed to have developed a system that predicted the winner of horse races every time. I’m not going to ruin it for you but if you’ve ever been tempted by one of those get-rich-quick tipster adverts then watch this first. It’ll make you think twice. Part 1 [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/v/lX94fV4TWbc&rel=1] Part...

    UEFA Cup Thursday
    Its going to have to be a quick one tonight as the games kick off sharpish. Interesting to note a shift in odds in the Panathanaikos v Rangers match tonight. Gers fans must be feeling confident (maybe it was Celtic managing to get within a goal of Barca last night! ) but the money seems to be coming in for them to get a win in Athens. Over the course of the day the odds...

    Champions League Wednesday
    After a wee bit of success last night I’m tempted not to push my luck and just keep my money in my pocket tonight. All 4 games in the Champions League look too close to call and it might just be a watching brief for me but lets have a look… Tie of the round looks like being Arsenal v AC Milan – this is the kind of game that makes the Champions League...

    Champions League Tuesday
    I had a whole article ready to go and then Wordpress takes a hissy fit and I can’t upload it! Typical. Anyways, Some of the games I fancied (in England) have been cancelled so quickly had to look elsewhere. I’ve ended up with a small trixie on Liverpool, Schalke and Plymouth. From what I’ve seen so far (15 mins in) the Reds have made a good start and...
