The highlight of the weekend was the stunning comeback by the Oklahoma City Thunder. When the Spurs went up 2-0 in the NBA West final, it seemed like it was all over for the Thunder. They had to go back home, regroup, and win the next two games...

How good is Lebron?
LeBron James is considered to be the best basketball player in the world today. He is currently the NBA’s Most Valuable Player (MVP), and is the centerpiece of the star-studded Miami Heat. When we talk about basketball greatness, the...
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...

Big Jim's tip for 3 June: Sydney Swans
The Swans are in a slump, so let’s try to get them out of it this weekend by backing them to beat the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs are in good shape but will struggle against a Sydney outfit that has to get their season back on track. The Swans have...

Big Jim's tip for 2 June: Texas Rangers
I hate betting against the Angels. I love their erratic form and I especially love watching the overpaid Pujols swing his bat. Still, no matter how much I feel for this team, I will back Texas every time Darvish pitches. The guy is a total gun and...

Big Jim's tip for 1 June: Brumbies
A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month and today’s tip is no April fool’s day prank. The Brumbies missed a kick after the siren last week to seal up a semi-final berth and will be shattered by the lost opportunity. They are a far...

Big Jim's weekend preview
Well, I hate to say it but it seems like the Miami Heat are going to continue to beat up the Boston Celtics. Wade is a magician and LeBron ain’t too bad either. Hopefully the Spurs and the Thunder will keep us interested as we get ready for...
Big Jim's tip for 31 May: Steve Stricker
There are only two more weeks left until the US Open so the world’s best golfers must be getting excited. This week we are heading up North to Ohio for the Memorial Tournament which Steve Stricker won last year. You know what, I reckon Steve...

Big Jim's tip for 30 May: Victoria Azarenka
I don’t normally tip future bets in my tips of the day but I think I have a good value bet here. I was stunned to find out that Victoria Azarenka was not the favorite for the women’s title. The Russian has a great game and you can still...

Big Jim's tip for 29 May: Fernando Verdasco
Fernando Verdasco knows how to get the job done on clay. He had a nice and cruisy three set win in the first round and comes up against Muller from Luxembourg, who had to fight all the way in a grueling five set win. Long five set matches take their...

Big Jim's tip for 28 May: Canterbury Bulldogs
The Roosters are just plodders. They can perform on rare occasions, but if you bet against them on the line every week you would be well in front. The Bulldogs are not much better but they are well coached and are somewhat on the up. They have a...
Big Jim's weekend wrap
It’s down to the final two teams in the NHL. The New Jersey Devils will take on the Los Angeles Kings for the biggest prize in ice hockey. To be honest, the Canadians can keep ice hockey, I would rather watch tiddlywinks. I don’t see the...

Decisions under fire
The opening game of State of Origin 2012 took place in Melbourne last week. It was a tough, low scoring affair that was marred by controversy. One of the great things about rugby league is that very few penalties are given. This allows the game to...

Big Jim's tip for 27 May: Fremantle Dockers
“Freo, way to go!” I love this bet. I believe the Fremantle Dockers are as good a team as the West Coast Eagles and you are going to get a good head start with them at the line. The Eagles have an impressive record but are yet to prove...

Big Jim’s tip for 26 May: San Diego Padres
The New York Mets will host their West Coast rival, the San Diego Padres, today in an early game. Forget the Mets! I am far from convinced about them and I think the Padres are a decent baseball team. It will probably be Santana who pitches for the...

Big Jim’s weekend preview
Okay, I don’t want to see any tears! Football is off the menu for the next couple of months, the lads need to have a break every now and then. Don’t get discouraged though, there is still plenty left to bet on! The NBA is approaching...
Big Jim’s tip for 25 May: Bulls
This is a very important game and it is a blessing that the teams involved are desperate to win. Both the Chiefs and the Bulls should make the finals, but the four points on offer here will dictate many variables such as home field advantage. This...
