Big Jim's tip for 8 June: Adelaide Crows
It is a huge couple of weeks coming up for the Adelaide Crows. They sit just outside the top eight with a 50% win ratio. This just has to improve to have any chance of playing finals football come September. They are making a habit of playing in...
Big Jim’s tip for 7 June: Carlton
This is a hard game to line up. The Bombers are coming off a big loss against Sydney and the Blues are coming off a walk in the park against GWS at home. This is a massive match for both of these clubs and the winner will still believe that a top...

Big Jim’s tip for 6 June: Miami Heat
Sorry guys, no golf this week as there is just too much else on. The NBA Championship is the only time basketball will trump the golf, and that is a promise. Game one, the best of seven, Spurs v Heat for the title. I have been on the Heat bandwagon...

Big Jim’s tip for 5 June: NSW Blues
Well the time for talking is done and the time to get it on is here. This is one of the best sporting nights in the year. I can’t wait. Go the Blues – surely it’s our time. This promises to be as close as you could expect to find but I...

Big Jim’s tip for 4 June: Roger Federer
I am really looking forward to this clash. Roger is the best player ever and I have a lot of time for the plucky Frenchman Tsonga too. Tsonga has the game to beat Roger if he is at his absolute best but as we have seen before it’s tough for...

Are the times a changing?
State of Origin rugby league is as tough as sport gets. If you haven’t witnessed this sporting phenomenon before, do yourself a favor this Wednesday night. It pits two Australian states – New South Wales and Queensland – against each...
Big Jim’s weekend wrap
The Pacers didn’t just force a Game 7 decider against the Heat, they cruised to a commanding win in Game 6 that has fans salivating for what comes next. The big winners are the San Antonio Spurs who are sitting with a smile while the best two...

Big Jim’s tip for 3 June: West Coast Eagles
Now no-one can accuse me of being biased as I am tipping against my mighty Tigers today. This hurts, it really does. The Tigers have been far from impressive and unfortunately they are going to slip to a 50 percent win rate this season against the...

Big Jim’s tip for 1 June: Fremantle Dockers
It’s the first official day of winter in Australia, so let’s see if we can get the job done and come up with a winner in the AFL to warm the cockles of our hearts. Both Fremantle and Adelaide enjoyed great wins last weekend and this...
Big Jim’s tip for 2 June: North Melbourne
St Kilda are just out and out horrible. Their insipid display against the Bulldogs last weekend had to be seen to be believed. North are a tough and consistent side and they will get the job done here this afternoon by playing far superior football...

Big Jim’s tip for 31 May: Crusaders
I have to give the Waratahs their due. They got off to a bad start this season and have fought tooth and nail to claw their way back into finals contention. Unfortunately for the boys in blue, things are about to get a lot harder. The Crusaders are...

Big Jim's weekend preview
What about them Pacers!!! I mean, wow — they really believe they can win this thing. They are without doubt the second best team in the NBA at the moment and might even be the best. I have always thought of them as an incredible young team...

Big Jim's tip for 30 May: Justin Rose
I can’t stand backing insipid English sportsmen but I can’t let that annoyance stand in the way of a good bet. Out of a bevy of overrated English golfers I consider Justin Rose to be the best of them. I think he has more heart, more...

Big Jim's tip for 29 May: Gael Monfils
The French Open is underway so for the night-owls there are plenty of long and drawn out slug-fests to keep you entertained. Local hero Gael Monfils has always been one of those “do I or don’t I” propositions. Supremely talented...

Big Jim’s tip for 28 May: Miami Heat
The Pacers are here to play and I have to take my hat off to them. To come off a heart breaking loss in Game 1 then somehow manage to level it up after Game 2 was very impressive. In-fact, they really should be favorites now with the ball in their...
