As a sports bettor one of the issues you have to deal with is the inconsistency of sportsmen. Sometimes their brilliance will win you money and other times their stupidity will cost you money. It evens itself out in the long run but the bad times...

Dennis the menace? I don't think so!
Dennis Rodman has been widely criticized for his recent trip to North Korea, but I can’t see what all the fuss is about. It wasn’t as if he was discovered conspiring with a group of suicide bombers. This was obviously a paid stunt and...

Big Jim's tip for 11 March: Wests Tigers
What better way to shake off the Monday blues than a night of good old-fashioned rugby league! These two teams could go either way this season. Both have the ability to make the finals but both are inconsistent and could have horrible years. Hunter...

Liverpool has somehow managed to avoid a disastrous season. They won’t make it to Europe but they should finish in the top seven of the table, which will avoid total embarrassment for the proud club. Tottenham are European bound and their fans...

Big Jim's tip for 9 March: Reading
It’s difficult to figure out these two teams, but this afternoon it’s do or die for them both. It seems as though only one team out of Reading, Aston Villa and Wigan will avoid relegation, so this stands as both teams’ best...

Big Jim's tip for 8 March: Crusaders
Apart from their champion center Conrad Smith, the Hurricanes are a bit short of talent this year. They lack the depth which is normally characteristic of New Zealand rugby teams. The Crusaders were hopeless against the Blues last week but...

Big Jim’s tip for 3 March: Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal total goals under
There is plenty to play for here! The winner of this game will score a temporary spot in the EPL top four, which is all that is left to compete for. This is a London derby between two fierce rivals and it should be a cracker of a game. It’s...
