All the excitement of the US Open is now over and let’s hope that not too many players caught the flu after being drenched at Merion. The Travelers Championship has secured a nice field with the likes of Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Freddie...

Big Jim's tip for 18 June: Miami Heat
Is tonight the night or are we going to go to Game 7? That is the question basketball fans are asking. It’s been a great series so far as both teams have traded blows and recorded some impressive victories. I only have one word for you –...

Big Jim’s weekend wrap
When Sergio Garcia charged to 4-under after just 10 holes of the US Open I was licking my lips and getting very excited but it quickly turned to sheer and utter depression as the Spaniard went on to drop six shots in just two holes. Then again...

Nice work FIFA … No, seriously!
It is easy to fall into the trap of reporting only negatives and not positives. This is a particular problem when it comes to governing bodies of professional sporting institutions. These institutions are all too full of incompetent patsies who fly...
Big Jim’s tip for 17 June: Wests Tigers
If you have noticed, I tend to back a lot of underdogs at the line in Monday night football. I do this because I think that night football and stand-alone fixtures tend to really ignite teams that are suffering from bad form and mental tiredness...

Big Jim’s tip for June 16: Western Bulldogs
I really like the “sons of the west” this afternoon to put in a good performance. They might not beat Collingwood but they can sure as hell be competitive which will be more than enough for us to win our bet. The Bulldogs are coming off...

Big Jim’s tip for 15 June: New Zealand All Blacks
The Frenchies were good last week but I think the All Blacks will improve again in the second Test. These two teams have a rich history of playing close Test matches but I think that this French outfit is far from their best in recent years. We will...

Big Jim’s tip for 14 June: Manly Sea Eagles
This really is an NRL Friday night blockbuster. Manly and Canterbury are two teams packed with quality players but both need the points tonight. They have had up and down seasons but expect nothing short of a brutal encounter. To add even more...

Big Jim’s tip for 13 June: Miami Heat
For some reason Game 4 always seems to be the underdog’s game in the play-offs. The underdog hosts their second of three games at home and it’s when they usually hit their straps. In sport betting it’s good to know trends but if...

Big Jim's weekend preview
There is so much on at the moment I just don’t know how to fit it all in. I will be recording a lot of sport over the weekend, even while I’m channel surfing. Here is a very brief rundown and a few things to think about before you place...
Big Jim’s tip for 12 June: Sergio Garcia
Don’t worry golf fans, I wouldn’t miss giving you the good oil on the US Open. This is clearly my second favorite golf tournament behind the Masters. If it wasn’t for the history and the fact that I know all the holes at Augusta it...

Big Jim’s tip for 11 June: Miami Heat
I have to admit that I was a late starter when it came to developing a love for basketball. It never really did much for me, but the NBA play-offs are just awesome sport to watch and bet on. After two great opening games this year to the NBA...

Sweet Serena?
Serena Williams claimed an incredible 16th Grand Slam singles title over a brave but tired Maria Sharapova at the French Open last weekend in Paris. Serena is the sort of sporting personality that many fans love to hate. I consider myself in this...
Big Jim’s weekend wrap
It was a fitting all Spanish final at Roland Garros overnight. While Novak Djokovic played a great tournament including an epic semi-final against his old rival Rafael Nadal, no one could take away anything from Nadal or David Ferrer. There...

Big Jim’s tip for 10 June: Brisbane Broncos
These two teams have a history of beating up on each other when it comes to big winning margins. I think history is going to be defied in Canberra tonight as I expect a close encounter. It appears on paper to be the sort of game that the Raiders...

Big Jim’s tip for June 9: Miami Heat
You can forget about Game 1 and treat this as a whole new game. Just be mindful that tip-off is an hour earlier tonight (or this morning for us Asians) as this game is being played on the weekend in the US. The best team in the world playing at home...
