Some people argue the traditional ANZAC Day clash between the Bombers and Pies is the biggest AFL game of the year. I don’t concur with this sentiment but this game represents a very important day for Australia and acts as a centerpiece for...

Big Jim's tip for 24 April: Jason Dufner
It was Jason Dufner who earned his first ever PGA tour title a year ago at this tournament when he beat the “Big Easy”, Ernie Els, in a playoff. I like Jason. He seems like a nice guy and is very consistent. I am a little confused by his...

Big Jim's tip for 23 April: Miami Heat
The Heat stuffed around early in the playoffs last year before hitting their straps and going all the way. I think they are a more mature outfit this year and more importantly, every other team is terrified of them. The Heat at home in the first...

Eyes in the sky
Modern day sport is big business. If you don’t accept that, your head is in the sand. The amateur sportsman is long gone and the professional approach will be with us until the end of time. There are two schools of thought in regards to the...
Big Jim's weekend wrap
The English Premier League relegation race hit fever pitch over the weekend and it was all bad news for those deepest in the mud. Those sides that had started to slip back towards the relegation zone, namely Norwich and Stoke, managed to find the...

Big Jim's tip for 22 April: Tampa Bay Rays
Pitcher CC Sabathia is tipped to start here for the Yankees but I am still going for the Rays. These match-ups might not have the tradition of Yankees v Red Sox games but they are just as fierce. Go for the Rays at home at a very attractive price...

Big Jim’s tip for 21 April: North Melbourne
North Melbourne has endured a horrible start to the AFL season but they haven’t been helped by a particularly ugly draw. They have been a far better side than their 0-3 start suggests. Brisbane won their first game of the year last week but...

Big Jim’s tip for 20 April: Pierro
The Doncaster is one of Australasia’s premier horse races. In my opinion this race should become a weight-for-age race for huge prize money, which would make it an international event and the biggest race of the Sydney Autumn Carnival, but...

Big Jim’s tip for 19 April: New Zealand
Australia will start clear favorites in tonight’s rugby league Test match but I like the Kiwis in this one. The tide has turned over the last few years and I think the Kiwis are the best rugby league team in the world. After all, they are the...

Big Jim’s tip for 18 April: Rickie Fowler
Well it’s always a bit of a let-down the week after the Masters but considering I have been on fire with the golf this year I’m not going to miss out on a chance. We are going to go with our worst dressed friend and novice rapper Rickie...

It is a huge weekend in rugby league with the ANZAC Test between Australia and New Zealand taking center stage. The game is being played in Canberra on Friday night so the two sides can expect it to be more than a little chilly when they run on to...

Big Jim’s tip for 17 April: Washington Wizards
Chicago has nothing to play for tonight and will be more interested in their upcoming finals opponent than the Wizards. The team from the nation’s capital has had a great end to the season and will want to go out on a high before they head off...

Big Jim’s tip for 16 April: Indiana Pacers
Boston has done a remarkable job just to reach the finals this season but I think the Pacers are a far superior team and will try to get some form going into the finals. It’s dangerous to bet against the home team in a game that really...

Big Jim's tip for 15 April: Toronto Maple Leafs
For some horrible reason there appears to be no Monday night football tonight! I guess it is to give the Kangaroos and Kiwis an extra day’s preparation for next week’s ANZAC Test. This has given me the blues so I thought I would turn my...
