Another US$8 million purse and 2,500 FedEx Cup points are on offer to the world’s best golfers this weekend as the PGA Tour heads up to Boston for some Sam Adams and good northern hospitality. Lee Westwood isn’t my favorite golfer. He is...

Big Jim’s tip for 29 August: Phillies
The New Yorkers might have had a chance yesterday, but with Hamels standing on the mound for the Phillies tonight, the Mets will be sent home with their tails between their legs. Hamels has been one of the shining stars in this Phillies outfit and...

AFL Football – 2012 home and away season review
It has been an incredible season in the AFL. We have seen some good performances from teams like Hawthorn, Sydney and Adelaide in the regular season, and have been left with some carnage and unanswered questions by many other teams. Essendon...

Frankel the freak recorded another victory late last week in a performance that left every horse racing lover breathless. There are no words to describe this horse – adjectives like breathtaking, unbeatable, scintillating, extraordinary...

Big Jim's tip for 28 August: Phillies
It’s going to be a Tuesday East Coast headbanger with Philadelphia hosting the New York Mets. Both teams have struggled to get depth out of their low-end starting pitchers, and tonight both Young and Worley are going in with unimpressive...

Big Jim's tip for 27 August: Cronulla Sharks
Well, I let the team down last week when St George failed to get the job done at home. They looked like they were going to finish strongly but they just couldn’t come up with the points when it mattered. This week we have a Monday night...

Big Jim's tip for 26 August: Stoke City
It has been a good few years for Stoke and they appear to have cemented themselves in the Premier League. They weakened towards the end of last season, but they’ll be fighting hard this year to finish in the top half of the table. I reckon...

Big Jim's tip for 25 August: New Zealand
We lost our bet last weekend after the final siren sounded and Daniel Carter kicked the All Blacks eight points clear. I would like to back the Wallabies again this weekend but the Kiwis are going to put them to the sword. Losing Pocock is a huge...

Big Jim's tip for 24 August: Richmond
Essendon are a rabble. They have fallen into a pit and their finals campaign looks all but over. If they don’t win tonight they can pack their bags for the end of season trip. The Tigers are finishing the season strongly and it’s a...

Big Jim's tip for 23 August: Ricky Fowler
The Barclays is the first of a number of huge golf tournaments scheduled over the next few weeks. Bethpage is one of the most stunning golf courses in the world and we can expect some big New York crowds to turn up. We have mentioned Ricky Fowler...

Big Jim's weekend preview
We finally got a good result in the golf – Sergio Garcia cruised to victory in the Wyndham Championship! If you took our advice and threw a few dollars on him, you’ll still be enjoying the champagne. There’s a big weekend of football...

Big Jim's tip for 22 August: Chelsea
This is one of those EPL clashes that pits a heavyweight champion up against a 12-year-old schoolgirl. Reading has a huge fight on their hands in order to stay in the Premier League this year, and even though they will be happy with their first...

Big Jim's tip for 21 August: Phillies
How has a team with so much talent been so unreliable this season? The Phillies should be a much better team than they are at the moment, and no one is a better representative of their slump than Lee who has been horrible on the mound this...

Big Jim’s tip for 20 August: St George Illawarra
Some bets just seem too good to be true! St George, especially in Wollongong, are hard to beat, and North Queensland will be no match for them. I can’t believe North Queensland are favorites. You can get around a four point head start on the...

Big Jim's tip for 19 August: Western Bulldogs
Sydney is going to be concentrating on winning, not piling on points. Don’t get me wrong, the Bulldogs are horrible and Sydney are very good, but when you are getting around a 10 goal head start it makes the Doggies seem very attractive at the...
