The All Blacks will win the game but I think Argentina will be more competitive than the bookmakers do. The South American champions are a spirited mob and they will throw everything they can at the Kiwis – especially in the forwards. Pumas at the...

Big Jim’s tip for 6 September: Hawthorn
It’s déjà vu – the Hawks and Swans on a Friday night. We saw it all last week, but this time it counts. The Sydney Swans are September experts but I really like the Hawks in this year’s finals and can’t see why anything should...

There is no EPL this weekend but it is opening weekend of the NFL and we’ve got one hell of a round to start things off. There are plenty of divisional match-ups and plenty of games that should be very close which will make for tantalizing...
Big Jim’s tip for 4 September: Miguel Angel Jimenez
No, the European Golf Tour is not conducting an audition for the remake of the musical The Sound of Music. But this is Switzerland and there will be plenty of snow-capped peaks to look at if the golf gets a little boring. Spaniard Miguel Angel...

Big Jim’s tip for 3 September: Lleyton Hewitt
You can love him or hate him, but at the very least you have to admire him. Australian Lleyton Hewitt could be described as similar to that annoying toothache which won’t go away – he has been at this tennis caper for a very long time...

Weekend wrap
Liverpool is on fire and it was fierce rivals Manchester United on the barbeque over the weekend. This is the first time the Reds have won their opening three games of the season in almost 20 years with Daniel Sturridge making it three goals in as...
The NFL is here
The wait for the NFL season is over. For true lovers of sport – and of sports betting – this is the weekend you’ve been looking forward to. And if you haven’t taken the time to study American Football, why not do it now? It is...
Big Jim's tip for 2 September: Parramatta Eels
I did have two gripes about this game. The first was why did the NRL schedule a Monday night game this late in the season that has no bearing on the final eight? It’s not the final round of the season and they could have given us better. The...

Big Jim's tip for 1 September: Arsenal
There is no love lost between these two London rivals. This will be a great game on a huge day of football as this game follows the classic derby between Liverpool and Manchester United. Having found some form after a horror opening day of the...

Big Jim's tip for 31 August: Jorge Lorenzo
The one thing we know for sure is we are going to have another Spanish World Champion this year in the Moto GP. The only question is which one. Reigning World Champion Jorge Lorenzo on his Yamaha will be trying to reel in Dani Pedrosa and young gun...

Big Jim's tip for 30 August: Hawthorn
I am shaking with anticipation for this game. Outside of the finals it doesn’t get any better than this. Could you ask for any better lead-up up to the finals? Could this be a Grand Final preview? I think these teams are the two best in the...

Big Jim's tip for 29 August: Tiger Woods
It’s been the battle of the European Banks these past few weeks with Deutsche now getting their turn after Barclays hosted their own tournament last week. Obviously the banks have enough cash in the coffers to offer up around US$8 million in...

Weekend preview
This is the last weekend of the AFL regular season. There are some very interesting games on show but be careful with the betting. Beware of teams resting players for the finals and those playing their last game of the season. Teams can often lift...
Big Jim's tip for 28 August: Detroit Tigers
Two great ball clubs go head to head tonight in what promises to be one hell of a game. Both the Detroit Tigers and Oakland A’s have impressive winning records this year and their respective fans are getting excited. The statistic that has me...

Big Jim's tip for 27 August: LA Dodgers
It must be frustrating being a Cubs fan. So much history, such passionate supporters and so painfully and consistently bad it must hurt. To be honest, they haven’t been too terrible this year in a tough division but they have their work cut...

Weekend wrap
The Ashes has come to a thrilling and controversial end with England winning the series 3-0 over the Old Enemy but with plenty to think about before the return series in Australia in a few months’ time. Having already wrapped up the series...
What did we learn from the Ashes?
In the space of eight months Australia and England will battle it out in a total of 10 Test matches, which equates to two separate Ashes campaigns. It’s a strange way of splitting up home and away Ashes series and surely it would make more...
Big Jim’s tip for 26 August: Chelsea
This is what we have been waiting for – the first blockbuster of the EPL season! Two clubs with title aspirations inevitably makes for a great contest. A Monday night, a huge crowd at Old Trafford and a Chelsea side many are predicting will take...
