Well, I’m pretty thankful that ice hockey has come to an end. You can’t love every sport (no matter how hard you try) and the ice rink leaves me a little bit cold … pardon the pun. Still, if you listened to my mate and put a few...

Big Jim's tip for 15 June: Tiger Woods
Ok we are going into Day 2 of the US Open sticking with “my man” Tiger Woods. A three-ball market is where you bet on one player to beat the other two players in his tee-off group in either of the first two days of a major golf tournament. I...

Big Jim's tip for 14 June: Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy
Okay, I apologize for saying Rory McIlroy has been the model of consistency. In truth, the young Northern Irishman is in the worst form of his career. However, Rory has imploded in the past and then come back to win tournaments. Let’s bet on...

Big Jim's tip for 13 June: Portugal
Portugal will beat Denmark in the ‘Group of Death’ tonight. The Danes were blessed to beat the Dutch, and Portugal showed enough skill against Germany to give me confidence that they’ll win this game. In many ways Euro 2012 is of a...

Big Jim's tip for 12 June: Oklahoma City Thunder
This is a tough game to pick. I am going to bet on the Thunder because they play well when they’re at home. Basketball has never been my favorite sport but this year’s Finals series has really got me hooked. Sit back and enjoy because...

Big Jim's tip for 11 June: England
I am going to back England tonight – they aren’t a great team, but the French are worse. The English will be praying that John Terry is fit for the game, but even if he doesn’t play, I believe the Poms can lift and get off to a...
Big Jim's weekend wrap
NBA fans have got the final they wanted: Heat v Thunder in the best of seven World Championship games. Who could ask for more? The old and tired Celtics were brave to take their Conference finals to seven games, but when LeBron James got serious the...
Gallop's wrongful exit!
Rugby league football is one of the two major codes of rugby football, the other being rugby union. Although the two codes are very similar, union is played internationally while league is only played professionally in England, Australia, New...

Big Jim's tip for 10 June: Spain
Spain are the reigning European and world champions, and they are hungry to add more silverware to their cabinet. The Italians will try desperately to hold on for a draw, but they are up against a very strong Spanish outfit. Sport:...

Big Jim's tip for 9 June: Ireland
This will be the first test match for the All Blacks since their historic win in last year’s Rugby World Cup, and I expect the Kiwis will suffer a bit of a hangover until they get into the Four Nations later this year. The Irish always lift...

Big Jim's tip for 8 June: Carlton
The great thing about handicaps in sport is that they allow you to support teams that have been in horrible form. You might think I’m crazy to bet on the Carlton Blues tonight, but we are going to get a juicy head start. The Blues have been in...

Big Jim’s tip for 7 June: Rory McIlroy
Only one more week until the US Open! That’s when things will really start to heat up. So who is going to step up and give themselves a mental boost prior to the big one? I am betting on defending US Open champion Rory McIlroy this weekend...

Big Jim’s tip for 6 June: Oklahoma City Thunder
“Let’s go Thunder!” Tim Duncan and the rest of the boys in the Spurs are going to be hard to beat, but I believe the Thunder can win this vital game, and at the very least, they should be able to stay within the point spread...

Big Jim’s tip for 5 June: Miami Heat
LeBron and the boys are back at home and that spells danger for the Boston Celtics. The Celtics might have put up a fight in their hometown but they’ll get blown off the court tonight. Now that the Spurs and Thunder are beating each other up...

Big Jim’s tip for 4 June: Parramatta Eels
This is going to be a cracker of a Monday night game and I reckon the Eels will chalk up a much-needed win. Parramatta is a reasonable team and has showed decent form even though it hasn’t won many games in the last month. The upcoming battle...
