The Panthers are slowly improving but they are going to run into a desperate Sharks outfit. The boys from Cronulla have had an incredible season but after their shock loss last weekend this game is vital. A great season could easily turn into a...

Big Jim's tip for 27 July: Hawthorn
This game should be played at the MCG, not at Etihad Stadium. I can’t help but wonder why they have scheduled a game that would attract over 70,000 fans in a stadium that seats just 50,000, when they have a 100,000 capacity stadium just down...

Big Jim's tip for 26 July: Robert Allenby
I am sticking to my theory of looking for a ”not so big” name the week after a major. The men are heading up north this weekend to the Canadian Open, and there is still over five million in prize money to share and 500 FedEx points...

Big Jim's weekend preview
Well, the Olympics are finally here! Years of preparation in London will culminate this Friday as the games get underway. To be honest, the Olympics are not my favorite sporting event and I could make a long list of other sports I would rather be...
Big Jim’s tip for 25 July: Tampa Bay Rays
It’s coming up to the business end of the season for baseball lovers. Teams are becoming desperate to win which means the games are getting better and better. The Orioles have been quite good this season, but tonight they face a tough task in...

Big Jim’s tip for 24 July: Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates and the Nationals have been the big stories of Major League Baseball this year. The two whipping boys of the past few seasons are on fire and are heading to the post season. You have to love the twists and turns of baseball. The Pirates...

You could do worse than the Rabbitohs
Rugby league, and I’m mainly referring to Australia and New Zealand’s NRL competition, is the most brutal team sport on the planet. If you like fast-paced action with plenty of bone shattering hits, then this is the sport for you. If you...
Big Jim’s weekend wrap
Adam Scott will never get a better opportunity to win a golf major than the one he missed this weekend. This is not to say that he won’t ever win one – he’ll just always remember this one as the one that got away. Still, one...

Big Jim’s tip for 22 July: LA Angels
A great division, two awesome teams, and a packed house at the Angel Stadium – it doesn’t get any better than this for baseball fans! Harrison has had one hell of a year and if he starts for the Rangers he’s sure to make it tough for...

Big Jim’s tip for 21 July: South Sydney Rabbitohs
The Bunnies recorded one of the greatest come-from-behind victories ever against the Roosters last Monday. To be honest, however, they were average that night and could have played better. They should aim for a more complete performance against the...

Big Jim’s tip for 23 July: Wests Tigers
The Wests Tigers have been a disgrace this year. They started as favorites and have found a host of interesting ways to butcher games. Now they are traveling up to North Queensland to play the Cowboys, which is always a tough task. Sometimes you...

Big Jim’s tip for 20 July: Geelong Cats
This is a fascinating game for so many reasons. You have one team at the end of a dynasty and another team desperately trying to start one. I am convinced that the Cats are finished. They are going to get a lot worse before they get better. Essendon...

Big Jim’s tip for 19 July: Tiger Woods
As well as betting on Tiger to win the tournament, I am also going to back him in plenty of tournament head to head matches. This way I can still clean up if he finishes high up the leader board. You should be able to back him against McIlroy...

Big Jim’s tip for 18 July: Tiger Woods
You can accuse me of having a ”man crush” on Tiger Woods, but you’d be telling me something I have known for years. I love Tiger, and nothing gives me more pleasure than watching him at his game. He should win the British Open this...
Big Jim’s weekend preview
This weekend it’s all about golf. All majors are special and they are all special for different reasons. The Open Championship (the British Open) is famous for driving wind, rain and sand, and for wet weather gear and shivering players...

Big Jim’s tip for 17 July: Toronto Blue Jays
Sabathia, who has been ripping it up this year with a 9-3 record will start for the New Yorkers tonight, and Cecil, pitching at an impressive 66.6 percent this year after three starts, will probably be given the nod for the Jays. I am going to take...
