18th May 2025
09:15 Wests Tigers v South Sydney Rabbitohs
Wests Tigers
To Win
50 WIN
Wests were hammered in their last game 0-64 by Melbourne Storm. Teams who have had such heavy defeats tend to come back strongly in their next game. Prior to that loss, they had won three of their last four. Rabbitohs have won two of their last six. Home advantage is a big plus, so go with Wests Tigers to prevail.
11:00 Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators T20
Quetta Gladiators
Win Match
50 WIN
Quetta are top of the points table having won their last four completed matches. Multan are at the bottom of the standings and have lost their last five. In the reverse fixture Quetta won by a massive ten wickets margin. Quetta to win.
12:00 Everton v Southampton
Everton
50 WIN
Final game at Goodison and Everton will be looking to go out with a victory for their adoring fans. Relegated Southampton will be aiming towards next season in the Championship. Uphill struggle for Saints today and only one winner in my opinion, Everton.
14:15 West Ham v Nottm Forest
Draw
50 WIN
Forest's form has dropped off in recent weeks and has moved them out of the top five and a Champions League spot. They have drawn their last two matches, and West Ham have also drawn two of their last four Premiership games, and four of their last eight. I see this match ending in a stalemate.
15:00 Brentford v Fulham
Brentford
50 WIN
Brentford are in excellent recent form, winning four and drawing two of their last six matches. They are now up to eighth in the standings. Fulham have won just once in their last five league games and will struggle against the in-form home side. Brentford to win.
15:00 Wakefield v Warrington
Warrington
To Win
50 WIN
Warrington to beat Wakefield is the prediction for this Super League game. Warrington had a good win over Leigh last week in the Challenge Cup and will be aiming to continue the improved performances of late. Wakefield have had a couple of recent wins, but they came against Cas, who are struggling this term.
20:10 PGA Championship
Brooks Koepka
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Brooks Koepka led after the first round of this event in 2019, and tends to be amongst the pacemakers in the early rounds of this tournament. In the top three after the first round on three occasions. Looks worthy of each way support in this market.
Bryson DeChambeau
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Bryson has a great recent first-round scoring record. In his last four competitions, he has finished fifth or better each time. In ten of his last thirteen events, he has tied second or better after round one. Strong each-way chance.

Justin Rose
1st Round Leader
25 EW
Price looks generous for a player who did well at the Masters from the start. He has finished inside the top twenty first-round finishers nine times in the last 18 major championships. Justin Rose is in fine recent form with four top ten finishes in the last five starts.

Tommy Fleetwood
1st Round Leader
25 EW
I cannot see Tommy winning this Major, but he does have a decent first-round record at this course. First-round leader in 2023 and also started the 2021 Quail Hollow tournament well when tied for fifth after the initial 18 holes.
Xander Schauffele
1st Round Leader
50 WIN
Xander Schauffele to be first round leader is the prediction in this market. Faces strong competition with the likes of McIlroy and Scheffler, but his price of 29.00 looks better value. In his last two starts at this course, he has finished the first round as leader and tied for second place.

Justin Thomas
Top American
25 EW
Justin Thomas has won this Major on two previous occasions. In great recent form, with a victory at the Heritage last month, and had a third-place result last week. His game seems ideally suited to the layout of this course, and he can be a serious contender.

22:45 PGA Championship
Brooks Koepka
25 EW
Brooks Koepka is a winner of five Major Championships. Tied for 26th at this Major last year. Has won this event on three previous occasions, plus five other top twenty finishes. Enjoys playing this course and holds a strong each way chance.
Bryson DeChambeau
50 WIN
Bryson DeChambeau is my win selection for this major, the PGA Championship. He is the recent winner of the LIV Golf Korea event. He is amongst the longest drivers in this field, and this course should be ideal for him. An aggressive player who, if he gets his putting going, should be at the top of the leaderboard after 72 holes.
Collin Morikawa
25 EW
Fourth place finish at last year's PGA. Won the event in 2021 and had a top-eight result the year after. His final rounds have let him down in recent majors but he has the quality to feature on the leaderboard at the end of the week.
Max Homa
25 EW
Norma has been put in the betting as one of the outsiders but has a good course record. She has played this course five times and has one win and two top ten finishes. She finished in a tie for 12th place at the Masters and has been playing some solid and consistent golf.
Xander Schauffele
25 EW
Xander is the defending PGA champion. Finished in the top 16 in five of the last six PGA Championships. Has an excellent course record, finishing second in both of the last two years at Quail Hollow. Has a strong record in Majors, with 12 top-twenty finishes in the last twenty events. Each way chance.

Justin Rose
Top European
25 EW
Justin Rose narrowly missed out on winning at Augusta, losing a playoff to McIlroy. Second at the Open and finished sixth in this major last year. Five top 13 finishes at the PGA Championship in the last five years. Has four top ten results in the last five events. Looks valuable in the Top European market.

Tommy Fleetwood
Top European
50 WIN
Tommy Fleetwood must be one of the best golfers yet to win a Major. Three top 30 finishes at this tournament in the last three years. At Quail Hollow, he has finished 14-3-13 in the last three visits. Consistent performer in Majors and could finish the week as the leading European.

Viktor Hovland
Top European
25 EW
Victor Hovland looks decent value at a price of 17.00 in the Top European market. In a major where the winner usually comes from America, Hovland can usually be relied upon to give a good account of himself. He has a second and third place finish at the last two PGA Championships. Also posted a third place at this course in 2021.

Tommy Fleetwood
Top GB and Ireland
25 EW
Fleetwood to finish this tournament as the top GB and Ireland golfer. He has played the Majors consistently well without actually winning. He has done well in recent times when playing this course. A third place and a couple of top 14 places in the last three years.

19th May 2025
11:00 Durham vs Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire
Draw No Bet
50 WIN
Notts are the current top side in this division with three wins and two draws from the five matches played. Durham have won one and drawn two of their five. Notts have won three of the last four meetings of these counties in the four-day format, and are my selection to win.
11:00 Middlesex vs Leicestershire
Leicestershire
Draw No Bet
50 WIN
Leicestershire to beat Middlesex is the prediction for this four-day match. Leicestershire have won four and drawn one of five played, with the hosts back in third spot, some 30 points adrift. Leicestershire won the last County Championship match between these clubs last year.
11:00 Surrey vs Yorkshire
Surrey
Draw No Bet
50 WIN
Surrey have a strong squad of players to call upon and are unbeaten so far in this division. Yorkshire have lost two of their five matches, and with home pitch advantage, Surrey are the selection.
23rd May 2025
19:45 European Rugby Challenge Cup 2024/25
Lyon
50 WIN
Bath have a tough semi-final in Edinburgh with no guarantees of success. They look too short a price to win the tournament, so my selection is Lyon. They have a strong home record and have usually beaten Racing at home. On neutral territory, I can see Lyon flourishing, and a price of 5.00 looks like value.
