4th May 2026
01:00 Players Championship 13
Wessel Nijman
50 WIN
It's hard to ignore what Nijman has been doing in the Players event this year. He's reached two quarter-finals and five finals, winning four times. He also won a European Tour event for good measure. He usually goes off at double-figure prices, but the bookies have finally cottoned on and make him the 8.00 favourite. Nevertheless, he looks the one to be on.
13:00 Elizara Yaneva vs Ayla Aksu
Ayla Aksu
Win Match
50 WIN
Aksu got in as a lucky loser after losing 7-5, 7-6 to Costoulas. As she was 112 places lower in the rankings, it wasn't a bad effort. Prior to that she breezed through two qualifying matches, dropping a combined seven games. She actually met Yaneva on a hard court in February, running out the winner in straight sets.
13:00 Guiomar Maristany Zuleta De Reales vs Anouk Koevermans
Guiomar Maristany Zuleta De Reales to win 2 - 0
Set Betting
50 WIN
The pair have met twice, each winning one match, and both meetings were on clay. Maristany won the last meeting and brings the more solid form. She lost a hard-fought three-setter last time to Kudermantova, but there's no disgrace in that. Prior to that, she was leading Francesca Jones before yet another retirement for the Brit. Those were two solid performances, which suggest she is in form to win this on clay. When Koevermans loses the first set, she has invariably gone on to lose the next, with this happening in her last 12 clay matches.
15:00 Chelsea v Nottm Forest
Nottm Forest
50 WIN
With the Champions League spots probably out of reach, surely Chelsea's priority will be the FA Cup final. Their league form has been awful of late, losing their last five without scoring. Forest are fighting for their survival and are making a good fist of it, being unbeaten in six. Last time out they were hugely impressive in despatching Sunderland 5-0. They are clearly playing the better football right now.
15:00 Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants T20
Lucknow Super Giants
Win Match
50 WIN
The bottom two meet, having won just two games each. But looking at the odds, it looks like a one-sided affair. Mumbai Indians were one of the favourites to win the IPL this year, and looking at their squad it’s not hard to see why. However, they have not performed as well as expected, winning just two games. Their bowling is statistically one of the worst in the competition, so they look opposable at such short odds. LSG have had their moments but too often let games get away from them and lost in a Super Over last time. They generally bowl well, and this genuinely looks a 50/50 game.
17:00 Fredrikstad W vs Storhamar W
Storhamar (W) -3.50
Match Handicap
50 WIN
Storhamar have dominated Fredrikstad in head-to-heads, winning all six meetings. That includes 6-point and 16-point victories this season. They have been the far stronger side this season and look capable of winning by this margin.
17:00 Istra 1961 v Slaven Belupo
Slaven Belupo 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
Istra 1961 have lost five straight, including a loss at home to bottom side Vukovar 1991. Slaven Belupo can't be said to be in good form either, but they did recently draw with second-placed Hajduk Split. What makes me favour them, though, is their recent record against Istra. They are unbeaten in the last six meetings, winning half of them.
17:25 5:25 Beverley
North Force
Daily Racing
25 EW
North Force made a fine seasonal debut, finished third, and saw out the race well. It now qualifies for handicapping and could easily be better than a Class 4 horse.
17:30 Cremonese v Lazio
Lazio & No
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
Over half of Lazio's away games have seen them keep clean sheets, and six of Cremonese's last nine home games have seen them fail to score. So Lazio keeping a clean sheet looks a distinct possibility. It's just a case of whether they can score, and seeing as Cremonese have conceded 51 this time, I think they can.
19:15 Shaun Murphy v Wu Yize
Shaun Murphy
Win Match
50 WIN
Wu has impressed with his cool and calm nature and ability to scrap, but I think he comes up second-best in this one. Murphy is arguably playing some of his best snooker ever and looks in the mood to win again.
20:00 Everton v Man City
Everton
50 WIN
Man City are expected to breeze through this in their bid for the title, but I don't see it being that straightforward. Their form hasn't been overly impressive of late. Squeezing past Burnley 1-0 and trailing to Southampton until the 82nd minute in the FA Cup. Everton are a very capable side on their day, and you can be sure they will be up for this. I think they can wreck City's title ambitions.
Over 10.00
Total Corners
50 WIN
In their last three away games, Man City have won 11, 12, and 15 corners, so they look capable of covering this line by themselves. There were 14 corners when the sides met earlier in the season, and I suspect a similar amount today.
20:00 Sevilla v Real Sociedad
Yes
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
63% of Sevilla's home games have ended with both teams scoring, including 5 of their last 6. Real Sociedad are the best both-teams-to-score side in the league, with 79% of their games ending that way. So I like the Yes option.
5th May 2026
01:10 LA Dodgers @ HOU Astros
LA Dodgers
Money Line
50 WIN
Steven Okert has been installed as a starting pitcher, which isn't great news for the Astros, and I don't see him lasting long. That means the bulk of the pitching will be done by the bullpen, which has struggled of late with a 7.25 ERA over the last fortnight. Dodgers batters haven't been at their best lately, but they are quite a force when getting going, and I expect them to wake up tonight.
02:45 SD Padres @ SF Giants
SD Padres
Money Line
50 WIN
After losing four straight, the Padres arrested the slide with a win over the White Sox last time. I think they can follow that up with another against the Giants, who have also been struggling. The Padres have the clear pitching edge with Vásquez, who has won all five games in which he's pitched with a 2.94 ERA. The Giants promoted Trevor McDonald from the minors and, although he has been in the bullpen this year, he is yet to be used, so it seems a strange choice today.
17:00 IF Gnistan v FC Inter
FC Inter
50 WIN
Inter Turku have won 6 of the last 7 meetings with Gnistan, drawing the other. They look well placed to win again given their fine unbeaten start to the season. Gnistan, by contrast, are winless with just one point from 4 games.
10th May 2026
14:00 Pakistan Super League 2026
Lahore Qalandars
Outright Winner
25 EW
It's a chaotic PSL this season with no crowds, just two venues, and substandard players due to them bizarrely scheduling it against the IPL. Qalandars won last season and have won three of the last four. They retain a strong squad. They possibly have the best selection of bowlers, and although the batting could be said to be a bit too heavy, there is quality there. I expect a strong performance from them.
27th May 2026
14:00 Indian Premier League 2026
Gujarat Titans
Outright Winner
25 EW
According to the bookies, Gujarat Titans are the second-worst side in the competition, but I don't see it. Jos Buttler is a concern after a poor T20 World Cup campaign, but he is too good a player to keep playing that badly. I see him enjoying the fresh start. Even if he underperforms, there are enough quality batters in the side to step up. I also like their mix of bowlers and can see them going deep.
Mumbai Indians
Outright Winner
50 WIN
Mumbai Indians look the strongest side on paper and should go well. They had the best net run rate last season but just missed out on the play-offs by one point. They have a wealth of batting talent to choose from, although perhaps they are over-reliant on Bumrah in the bowling department. That may not matter, as I see them posting consistently high scores.
14:00 Indian Premier League 2026 Mumbai Indians
JJ Bumrah
Top Team Bowler
50 WIN
I'm just not convinced by Boult at the moment and think Bumrah is a much more reliable option. You can guarantee he will play his full quota of overs each match and simply looks the best, most consistent wicket-taker.
19th July 2026
15:30 All Ireland Hurling Championship 2026
Clare
Win Hurling
25 EW
Clare won in 2024, but last year it didn't go well. Severe injury problems probably took their toll. They look in better shape this time and can certainly mix it with the best.
9th September 2026
11:00 County Championship Division 2 2026
Lancashire
Outright Winner
50 WIN
Lancashire underperformed, finishing 5th despite having a strong squad. They've really impressed with signings over the winter, enrolling quality players at this level, so I see them doing a lot better than 5th.
15th September 2026
11:00 County Championship Division 1 2026
Warwickshire
Outright Winner
25 EW
Warwickshire finished down in 5th last season but were hampered by drawing nine games, the most in the league. They've strengthened their squad and look capable of a better performance this season.
6th December 2026
13:00 Formula 1 Drivers Championship 2026
Max Verstappen
50 WIN
Verstappen kept himself in the title race last season despite clearly not having the best car. That speaks volumes about his skill, which should see him once again go well this season. Despite him slamming the new regulation, it should be to his benefit as he has the skills to master the new designs. The Red Bull has looked very promising in practice, so I rate him as the most likely winner.
