Big Jim's tip for 3 July: Tampa Bay Rays

Turning up the "Heat"

Big Jim’s tip for 30 June: Hurricanes
If there has ever been a team that has frustrated the hell out of me it’s the Wellington Hurricanes. On their day they are world beaters but when they are off they can be terrible. I have to say that identifying their good days has not been my...

Big Jim’s tip for 29 June: Carlton
A month is a hell of a long time in the AFL. It was only a few weeks ago that Carlton and Hawthorn were sitting at the top of premiership betting, and both have shown a propensity to crumble when it matters. The Hawks have performed better than the...

Well this is the other semi final that most people predicted. The Germans have been very good but have had a dream run through this tournament and are yet to really be put to the test by quality opposition. The problem is I am not convinced that the...

I don’t normally tip future bets in my tips of the day but I am always one to break with tradition. I really think Spain are going to win Euro 2012, and with four teams left this is the best time you will have to bet on them. They are a team...
