I have said it before and I am going to stick to my guns. I am happy to back against the Melbourne Stars every time they go around this year. Outside of Hussey and Malinga they are a star-studded pack of over hyped, over the hill, duds. At the very...

Big Jim's weekend wrap
Well, this is my last wrap of 2012 and what a year of sport it has been! If you have followed my tips, I’m happy to say you should be a little in front. Let’s hope next year is even better so you can think about retiring or buying that...

Big Jim's tip for 26 December: Arsenal
When most people talk about an EPL season they refer to pre and post xmas form but it’s usually post Xmas when the big boys come out to play. This will be a great Boxing Day matchup and there will be plenty of fire from both teams in this...

Big Jim's tip for 25 December: Oklahoma City Thunder
Ho ho ho and a merry Christmas to you all! I hope you get to enjoy a good meal and maybe a glass of cognac and some plum pudding. All I want for Christmas is for the Thunder to turn the tables and give the Heat a good old-fashioned Christmas smack...

Total farce
Every year on Boxing Day in Australia the Sydney to Hobart yacht race receives far too much airplay. Unless you are a sailor, I cannot understand how you could be interested in this sport. It offers absolutely nothing from a spectator’s...
Big Jim's tip for 24 December: Australia
Even though this game starts on Boxing Day I thought I would give you plenty of time to get on. The first Test against Sri Lanka is history and I expect Australia will be just as hard to beat in the second. There will be a big crowd to cheer the...

Big Jim's tip for 23 December: Chelsea
It’s nearly Christmas and this is a must-win game for the boys in blue! They are playing at home against weak opposition so it’s the perfect chance to create a strong platform for a New Year charge. Chelsea has been up and down this year...

Big Jim's tip for 22 December: Tottenham Hotspur
Well, it looks like the world survived so let’s get down to some sport! I have received criticism from some uneducated football punters for always backing Stoke City. I have to admit I’m a big fan of the Potters but I need to show that...

Big Jim's tip for 21 December: Earth to survive
According to the Mayans, Nostradamus and various doomsday clowns out there the world is ending sometime today. If this happens we are all in for one hell of a ride! I reckon the world will still be here tomorrow and I’m happy to take a very...

Big Jim's weekend preview
Well, it’s the week before Santa comes to town so let’s hope he has a few winners for us in his overloaded sack this Christmas. God bless America is all I can say when it comes to sport at this time of year – there is plenty of NFL...

Big Jim's tip for 20 December: Adelaide Strikers
The Thunder is basically a one-man band. If Gayle fires they should win but if he fails they’ll probably lose. I’m going for the Strikers tonight. With Gayle out of the picture they’re far better than the Thunder, so let’s...

Big Jim’s tip for 19 December: New York Knicks
Go Knicks! They might not have Jeremy Lin anymore but last year’s hype appears to have rubbed off on the much-maligned boys from the Big Apple. The Knicks look playoff-bound and their home court record is second to none. Let’s hope all...

Big Jim’s tip for 18 December: Perth Scorchers
It seems as if I’m getting behind the Scorchers every game but I have to say, I think they’re a damn good team. This is their first game on the road and they face one of the worst teams in the competition. The Heat stuffed up their...

Hats off to ESPN
For those of you who are unaware, Tim Tebow is a media savvy, good looking and very religious quarterback who plays for the New York Jets. He was a superstar in college but his performance in the NFL has been questionable, and although he had a good...
Big Jim’s weekend wrap
It was another great weekend in the NFL as many teams continued to keep their hopes of playoffs alive. The Vikings, Seahawks and Redskins all recorded impressive victories that is going to the NFC go right down to the wire for positions in the...

Big Jim's tip for 17 December: New York Jets @ Tennessee Titans
The last Monday night game of the season and what a letdown it is! Both of these teams suck! I’m going for a high-scoring game so we at least get some entertainment. The Titans have been like a yoyo all year – great one week and then...
