Big Jim's tip for 5 January: Houston Texans
After being one of the most dominant teams in the league for three quarters of the season, the Texans have been in self-destruct mode for the last few weeks. However, don’t let that fool you, they will crush the Bengals this afternoon. They...

Big Jim's tip for 4 January: Perth Scorchers
The Sydney Thunder are the worst team in Australian professional sport at the moment. They are a disgrace to the competition, but they are a gambler’s dream. The Scorchers need to win this one so it’s going to be a very one-sided game...

Big Jim's weekend wrap
There is some excellent cricket going on in India as the home team take on their rivals Pakistan. The two-match T20 series ended at one apiece, but Pakistan is off to a flyer in the one-day competition. I would keep betting on the visitors as they...

Big Jim's tip for 2 January: Australia
Sometimes when you’re on to a good thing you have to stick with it. Hopefully, a few of you jumped on the Australians to win the series 3-0 before the first Test, when you could still find a juicy price on them. It will be Mr Cricket’s...

Big Jim’s tip for 31 December: Memphis Grizzlies
How about them Grizzlies! I’m not sure how many grizzly bears are floating around in Memphis but their basketball team have found themselves a home. Folks are starting to get excited down in Elvis land. Memphis will travel to meet the Pacers...

Big Jim’s tip for 30 December: Cowboys @ Redskins total points under
It’s the last day of the regular season and like the EPL all the games start at precisely the same time. I’m going with this game because the NFC East has something special about it – no matter where any of these four teams are on the...

Big Jim’s tip for 28 December: Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers girls haven’t had much to cheer about this year. I reckon it’s time for Kobe to read the riot act and get his team into gear – otherwise Jack Nicholson might have a premature stroke. They won’t get a better chance to...
