I am not big on taking multi bets or parlays but tonight there appears to be two certainties in the EPL. If in doubt go with the best and that is why I am taking the Manchester double. City and United both to win, couple them up and we should get...

Big Jim's tip for 13 May: Manchester City and Manchester United

Big Jim’s tip for 12 May: Richmond
What a game this promises to be. The Tigers have been very good this year without the results and the Swans have announced themselves as serious premiership contenders. I think the Tigers have what it takes to make an announcement themselves today...

Big Jim’s tip for 11 May: Bulls
Last week we went against the Bulls but this week we are going to get on them. The Waratahs are a reasonable side but I suspect the big South African “Bullish” forward pack will be harder to beat this week. A relaxing week acclimatising to...

Big Jim's tip for 10 May: Tiger Woods
You might think that I am bashing my head against a brick wall continuing to back Tiger. Trust me when I say he will soon show us that he is the greatest ever and we will be laughing all the way to the bank. This is clearly the fifth biggest...

Big Jim's tip for 9 May: LA Angels
The LA Angels should be the team to beat in Major League Baseball this year. All I can say is ALBERT PUJOLS! This guy is a champion so let’s get ready for the Angels to show us what they have always promised. They face the Twins tonight who...

Big Jim's tip for 8 May: Liverpool
I am going to back Liverpool for three reasons (even though I hate to do it). Firstly they are at home and the chance of beating one of the big names in football at home should inspire a good team that have had a forgettable season. Secondly I think...

Big Jim's tip for 7 May: Blackburn Rovers
Wigan have given us plenty of entertainment in the last few weeks. I just think that Blackburn will come out and show their former class and win this one in a battle that could be the difference between staying up in the Premiership or relegation...

Big Jim's tip for 6 May: Newcastle United
Newcastle is one of those sides that can get the job done when it matters. They have had a great year and they just might be the rain that ruins City’s premiership hopes. I am expecting a close game so I am looking for some value by taking...

Big Jim's tip for 5 May: Arsenal
It’s been a strange year for Arsenal. They got off to a pretty average start but they improved throughout the year and have forged clear of all but the top two teams. They should get the job done easily against Norwich today and give us an easy...

Big Jim's tip for 4 May: Melbourne Rebels
The Melbourne Rebels have had another tough year. They host the “big bad” Bulls from South Africa tonight. We are going to take the Rebels at the handicap because I think they can put in a good effort in sloppy conditions in front of their home...

Big Jim's tip for 3 May: Simon Whitlock
Simon “The Wizard of Oz” Whitlock has been very impressive in this year’s Premier League. He has won the games that he has had to win and finds himself second on the ladder behind the seemingly invincible Phil Taylor. This week he takes on...

Big Jim's tip for 2 May: New York Rangers
It’s tied at 1-1 in the semi-final between the Rangers and the Capitals and both teams will be desperate to win game 3. The Capitals will have the home crowd behind them in Washington but I think it will count for little. Washington scored 3...

Big Jim's tip for 1 May: Philadelphia Flyers
Well it’s playoff time in the ice hockey and things are really starting to heat up. In the Eastern Conference the Flyers are 1-0 up in their semi-final playoff against the Devils and in front of their home crowd I fully expect them to increase...

Big Jim's tip for 30 April: Manchester City
It doesn’t matter where these two teams are on the Premiership table this game is always personal. City has been very competitive against their cross-town rivals in recent times and I think they can give this a real shake tonight. I am going to...
