tadley's Tips History
17 February 2026
19:45 AFC Telford v Chorley
AFC Telford & Yes (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@+225
Lose
-50
Telford are in good form, winning 8 of their last 10 games, and have been banging in the goals. Chorley had a fine 3-2 win at Merthyr last time, but that isn't a true reflection of their form. Prior to that they were winless in 11 on the road, so I see Telford winning this. Chorley, though, have scored in 8 of their last 9 away games, so I like Telford, and yes.
19:45 Bromley v Cheltenham
Bromley (AH) -1.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-102
Lose
-50
Cheltenham come into this with just one point from their last five games and are sliding down the table. They now face a daunting trip to leaders Bromley, who are unbeaten at home with nine wins and six draws. I think Bromley will win this and win it well.
19:45 Cambridge Utd v Colchester
Cambridge Utd
50 WIN
@-105
Lose
-50
Cambridge had a rare recent slip-up when losing to bottom side Harrogate, but soon put that behind them when beating Bristol Rovers at the weekend. Colchester have lost 3 of their last 4, so this looks a tough assignment.
19:45 Cardiff v AFC Wimbledon
Cardiff
50 WIN
@-181
Win
28
Leaders Cardiff are very impressive at home with a record of W10 D1 from their last 11. They are averaging 2.37 goals per home match and should have too much firepower for Wimbledon. Cardiff won at Wimbledon earlier in the season and can do the double.
19:45 Chesham v Eastbourne Borough
Chesham
50 WIN
@+110
Win
55
Eastbourne are firmly entrenched in the relegation zone and come into this having lost their last four away games. Chesham are in fine form with four wins and a draw from their last five. This looks winnable for them.
19:45 Chesterfield v Gillingham
Chesterfield
50 WIN
@+120
Win
60
Gillingham don't impress on the road, with their only wins from their last 10 being over basement side Harrogate and struggling Bristol Rovers. Chesterfield are a solid side, one place outside the play-offs, and look too strong for Gillingham.
19:45 Dorking v Hornchurch FC
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-149
Lose
-50
Dorking are in good form at home, winning their last 11 and banging in 27 goals. I'd expect them to get at least a couple in this one. Hornchurch sit third, and their last four games have gone over 2.5, so I see goals in this one.
19:45 Elgin v East Kilbride
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-175
Win
28
Elgin failed to score in their opening home game but have scored in their subsequent nine games. East Kilbride were thrashed 6-0 by Spartans in the recent promotion clash but have shrugged that off by winning their next three games. I see both scoring.
19:45 Halifax v Gateshead
Halifax
50 WIN
@-156
Lose
-50
Gateshead's loss to Brackley at the weekend made it 13 losses on the trot, and it would be a brave man to back them to get anything out of this. Halifax are in the play-offs and have won four home games on the trot. They really ought to pick up all three points.
William Harris
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
Gateshead are in shocking form and have only two clean sheets all season, so surely Halifax will score tonight. In terms of the first scorer, striker William Harris looks the most likely. He is their top scorer with 16 and has 7 in his last 6 games. That is 7 of the side's last 8 goals.
19:45 Hereford v Darlington
Darlington (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-121
Lose
-50
This match is priced up as if Hereford are the home side, but that isn't the case. With their pitch once again not being fit for purpose, they will be playing at Worcester. They have lost over half of their games this season and are winless in seven. Darlington don't seem to mind travelling, with seven away wins ??" the fifth-best away record in the league. I just don't see them losing this.
19:45 Leyton Orient v Plymouth
Plymouth (AH) 0.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-102
Win
49
Plymouth have been erratic all season, pulling off some fine wins mixed in with poor losses. However, they have been more consistent of late, with just two losses from their last nine. Those losses were against top-four side Stockport and Lincoln. Leyton Orient haven't impressed of late, with just two wins from their last 12, which includes seven losses.
19:45 Lincoln City v Northampton
Lincoln City
50 WIN
@-208
Win
24
Northampton have had a poor season but have done better of late, being unbeaten in three. However, they have just three points from their last eight away games, and this looks a tough assignment for them. Lincoln are playing exceptionally well, with only a late Bolton goal depriving them of yet another win. Their last 14 games' form reads W10 D4 L0. They look far too strong for Northampton.
19:45 Milton Keynes Dons v Crawley Town
Milton Keynes Dons
50 WIN
@-163
Lose
-50
Crawley are in wretched form, with just two wins from their last 17. They were against bottom-side Harrogate and fourth-bottom Barrow. MK Dons are in fine form at home, with a record of W8 D3 from their last 11. They should be too strong for Crawley.
16:30 AC Oulu vs VaLePa
AC Oulu
Win Match
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
Oulu won 3-0 when the sides met in this fixture in November, and I can see them winning again. They did have a recent poor loss at home to Tikereret but have generally been solid, winning 7 of their 11 games. VaLePa have lost 4 of their last 5 away matches, so I prefer Oulu.
13:00 Neil Robertson v John Higgins
Neil Robertson
Win Match
50 WIN
@-161
Lose
-50
Robertson can be erratic, and he does seem to pick and choose which tournaments he performs in. That makes him a risky proposition, but he has got the better of Higgins of late. He has beaten him in the Champion of Champions and the Masters, and I think he extends that run.
13:00 Wu Yize v Mark Allen
Mark Allen 1.50
Handicap Betting
50 WIN
@-124
Win
40
This looks like a close game that could go either way. Yize comes into this having won four of his last five, but they weren't the toughest of matches. Prior to that, he had lost his last three. Allen has won two of the three meetings against Yize, so with a 1.5 start I prefer Allen.
Subtotal-126

21:30 Central Districts vs Canterbury One Day Match
Canterbury
Win Match
50 WIN
@-161
Lose
-50
Central Districts look a good side but not as strong as Canterbury. Canterbury have won 7 of their 8 games and beat Central Districts rather cosily when they met earlier in the competition.
21:30 Otago vs Auckland One Day Match
Auckland
Win Match
50 WIN
@-161
Win
31
Bottom play second bottom, but there seems a gulf between the two. Otago have lost every game, and Auckland beat them by 95 runs when they met earlier in the competition.
20:00 Coventry v Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough (AH) 0.25
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-113
Lose
-50
The top two meet, but there's no question that Middlesbrough are playing better right now. Coventry's earlier-season form, when they were banging in the goals, has long gone. They are looking very ordinary at the moment and toothless up front. Middlesbrough, by contrast, have won six on the trot and should fancy their chances of at least getting a draw.
18:00 Patrick Kypson vs Terence Atmane
Terence Atmane
Win Match
50 WIN
@+110
Win
55
Kypson is favourite for a combination of three reasons: he won their one head-to-head, he is playing at home, and Atmane's form isn't good. However, in terms of talent Atmane is on a different level. He's not the sort of player to sulk about his recent losses and can shake it off. His superior skills should see him through.
13:30 Sri Lanka vs Australia World Cup
Australia
Win Match
50 WIN
@-200
Lose
-50
Sri Lanka have won both games so far. They rather cozily beat Ireland and thrashed Oman. Australia, by contrast, were upset by Zimbabwe in their last game, so look vulnerable. However, the wicket clearly favoured the Zimbabwe spinners, whereas this Pallekele wicket looks more favourable for pace bowlers. There is so much batting quality in the Australian side, with multiple players who can go hard and fast. If the wicket suits, they can win this.
13:00 Katerina Siniakova vs Paula Badosa
Katerina Siniakova
Win Match
50 WIN
@-109
Lose
-50
Siniakova seems to concentrate more on doubles, as she obviously has a better chance of winning titles in that format. However, that should not distract from her ability in singles. She has a good A-game but can be frustrating and can go for too many winners, making the errors pile up. If near her best, she can win this against waning star Badosa, whose slide down the rankings is alarming.
12:00 Valentin Royer vs Pierre Hugues Herbert
Pierre Hugues Herbert
Win Match
50 WIN
@+175
Lose
-50
Pierre-Hugues Herbert loves the fast conditions here and is twice a quarter-finalist. He's come through two rounds of qualifying nicely and will be keen to beat his fellow Frenchman at a venue he likes. Royer climbed to 56 in the world last year but has now slid to 60 after a poor 2026. He's lost all five matches, putting him on an eight-game losing streak. The problem is that he is a good Challenger-level player but not so good on the main tour. Herbert's strong serve will make him tough to break.
11:30 Antonia Ruzic vs Emma Raducanu
Emma Raducanu to win 2 - 0
Set Betting
50 WIN
@-136
Lose
-50
Raducanu is never one I have fully trusted, but she has been more consistent of late. She recently reached the final at the Transylvania Open, where she ran into an inspired Cîrstea. She did retire with high blood pressure due to an infection last time at the Qatar Open but should be over that. Ruzic comes into this having lost five straight. So if Raducanu brings her A-game, she can wrap this up in two.
09:30 England vs Italy World Cup
Italy
Win Match
50 WIN
@+1100
Lose
-50
If comparing the performances against Nepal, Italy look the value. They bowled out Nepal for 123 and chased it down in 12.4 overs without losing a wicket. England, by contrast, were lucky to get over the line against Nepal. England have an impressive batting line-up on paper, but they have mostly been underwhelming and their bowling unit hasn't impressed. Italy at 12.00 look the value.
05:30 Afghanistan vs UAE World Cup
UAE
Win Match
50 WIN
@+550
Lose
-50
Afghanistan are almost certainly out, and even if they win their last two games by big margins they will probably still be out. That won't stop them trying, though, and I can see them batting way too hard and losing wickets. UAE are an inferior side, but they are solid enough, and the flat surface should suit them. If Afghanistan do over-hit, an upset could be on the cards.

22:45 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am
Chris Gotterup
25 EW
@+3300
Lose
-50
I'm maybe going to the well too often, but Chris Gotterup has served me well of late, winning 2 of his last three starts. He has never played here, but the course should suit him. He's playing better than ever and must be brimming with confidence.
Jason Day
25 EW
@+4000
Lose
-50
Jason Day rarely has a bad visit here, with his finishes being 4, 11, 5, 2, 4, 4, 7, 24, 6, and 13. That's an impressive run of results, and with him finishing second at the recent American Express, he looks in the form to go close again.
Ryan Gerard
25 EW
@+6600
Lose
-50
Ryan Gerard has come ever so close to winning with three second-place finishes in his last four. In his only other recent result he finished a respectable 11th, and surely a win can't be far away. His approach play is top-notch, as is his SG Putting, which should stand him in good stead around here.
Justin Rose
Top GB and Ireland
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
This course suits Rose's game, as seen by his win here in 2023, followed by an 11th and third last year. He comes here in fine form after just having won the Masters last time. Going back-to-back is never easy, but he's had a week's rest since then, so should go well.
19:00 Francisco Cerundolo vs Luciano Darderi
Over 22.50
Total Games
50 WIN
@-117
Lose
-50
Both have been impressive in the tournament, with neither dropping a set to get here. The head-to-heads stand at two apiece, with three of those games needing a final set. This could easily go the distance.
17:00 Istanbul Basaksehir v Besiktas
Eldor Shomurodov
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+600
Lose
-50
Two sides are playing well, but with the home advantage I give Ba?ak?ehir the upper edge in scoring first. They have been quick out of the blocks of late, scoring the first goal in their last seven games. In terms of the first scorer, it has to be Shomurodov. He is in fine form, banging in 14 this season and scoring in four of his last five.
17:00 THW Kiel vs SC Magdeburg
Tie
Money Line
50 WIN
@+700
Lose
-50
Kiel have been draw specialists of late, drawing 3 of their last 5, ending all square. Even their last game against Rhein-Neckar looked like being a draw until a very late goal saw Rhein-Neckar grab the win. Magdeburg are obviously a strong side, winning 18 of 20, but Kiel did draw away at them, so I like the draw.
16:50 4:50 Musselburgh
Velvet Vulcan
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+200
Lose
-50
Velvet Vulcan has gone ever so close in its last two, going down by a head in both. It gets in here with the bottom weight and looks sure to go up in the weights very soon. Now seems the time to back it.
16:30 Arsenal v Wigan
Arsenal (AH) -3.00
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@-102
Win
49
Arsenal won 4-1 at Portsmouth in the last round and now face an easy task against struggling League One side Wigan. Managerless Wigan have lost four on the trot and recently were thumped 6-1 by Peterborough. Arsenal will certainly rest some players but will still name a strong side which could easily score more than three in this.
Gabriel Martinelli
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@+650
Lose
-50
Only the most optimistic Wigan fan would suggest Wigan will score first, so it's best to look at Arsenal. Martinelli was on the bench last time against Brentford, which strongly indicated he would start in this one. Regardless of that, he started in the last round against Portsmouth where he grabbed a hat-trick. He will be keen to impress again and looks a likely first scorer.
16:30 Lech Poznan v Piast Gliwice
Over 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-142
Win
35
There are always goals in Lech Pozna?'s home games, with 9 of the last 10 going over and an average of 3.7 goals per game. Most Piast away games go over, so Over looks like the bet.
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-142
Lose
-50
60% of Piast Gliwice's away games have ended with both sides scoring, which is solid enough. But it's their opponents that make this a good bet. Lech have a 100% success rate in BTTS at home, with the games averaging 3.7 goals per game.
16:15 Metz v Auxerre
Draw #0-0
50 WIN
@+750
Lose
-50
Two struggling sides and games like that can often produce goals, but I don't think that is the case in this one. Bottom side Metz drew 0-0 last time and Auxerre have two consecutive 0-0s. It's a game neither can afford to lose, so I think it may be cagey with defenses on top.
16:00 Trentino vs Grottazzolina
Trentino to win 3-0
Set Score
50 WIN
@-105
Lose
-50
Grottazzolina have just one win all season, and that was a last-set decider against 2nd-bottom Cisterna. In all, they have been whitewashed 12 times this season from 19 games. Trentino have won 8 of 9 at home and have 10 3-0 wins. They won 3-0 away at Grottazzolina rather cosily, so nearly evens looks a tad generous.
15:30 HSV Hamburg vs SG Flensburg Handewitt
SG Flensburg Handewitt
Money Line
50 WIN
@-212
Win
23
Hamburg have lost four on the trot, with their most alarming defeat being at home to the then-bottom side Leipzig. In this form they are vulnerable to second-placed Flensburg.
15:15 Rayo Vallecano v Atletico Madrid
Draw
50 WIN
@+270
Lose
-50
Rayo Vallecano are a tough team to beat at home, losing just twice. They have, however, drawn 6 of their 10 games. Atlético are a strong side but have only won 3 on the road, whereas they have drawn 5. I therefore like the draw.
15:10 Wales v France
France -33.50
Handicap
50 WIN
@-102
Win
49
Taking -33.5 for France on the road looks dubious, but given the form of the two I think it's doable. France totally outplayed Ireland last week, winning by 22, with them looking a physically daunting side with fast, accurate hands and fast runners. Wales look a mess: they offer little going forward and are leaking tries. This could be embarrassing for the Welsh fans that bother to turn up.
15:00 Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors
Castleford Tigers 16.50
Handicap (2-way)
50 WIN
@-117
Win
43
After a poor season last time, Castleford have shaken up their side with many new-look faces. How they fare this season remains to be seen, but they should be stronger. Wigan should go well again this season, but this could be a trickier assignment than thought. The condition underfoot is hardly suited to their flowing style of rugby, so I see Castleford keeping within 16.
15:00 Odense BK v Midtjylland
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-181
Win
28
There's always goals between these two, with the last 9 meetings ending with both teams scoring. That includes a 3-3 this season. Added to that, 16 of Odense's 19 games have ended with both teams scoring.
14:50 2:50 Musselburgh
Bouboule
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+750
Lose
-50
Boubboule has shown promise in its five hurdling starts. Last time, though, it ran well at Newcastle on the A/W, finishing second behind an impressive winner. If carrying that form to the hurdles, this looks winnable for it.
14:00 ASV Dachau vs SWD Duren
SWD Duren to win 3-1
Set Score
50 WIN
@+240
Lose
-50
Düren are having a strong season and are expected to win 3-0. However, Dachau never go down without a fight. They won 3 of their last 6 and even in their losses took a set off in-form Netzhoppers and Friedrichshafen, and two sets off BR Volleys, one of the strongest sides in the league. I can see them winning a set.
14:00 Oxford Utd v Sunderland
Under 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@-136
Win
37
Oxford look toothless in attack, failing to score in their last five home games. They did concede three against Norwich last time, but their minds may have been on that game, and they don't generally concede many at home. Sunderland have just six away goals in the league, so I don't see them getting enough for this to go over.
14:00 Stoke v Fulham
Under 2.50
Total Goals
50 WIN
@+100

-50
Stoke are a good unders side, with 20 of their 32 games going under. Fulham are likely to rest several first-team players, making this look like an under.
13:45 Pogon Szczecin v Arka Gdynia
Pogon Szczecin
50 WIN
@-142
Win
35
A huge difference between Arka's home and away record, with them having the 3rd best home record but the worst away record. On the road they have just one point and two goals from nine games. Pogo? have a solid home record of W5 D2 L3, so they should be strong enough to beat the poor travelers.
Pogon Szczecin #3-0
50 WIN
@+1200
Lose
-50
Arka Gdynia are terrible on the road, picking up just one point and scoring just 2. They recently lost 2-0 away at the bottom side Termalica and are conceding an average of 2.55 goals per away game. Pogo? are solid at home and look capable of scoring three.
13:30 Grimsby v Wolverhampton
Grimsby
50 WIN
@+650
Lose
-50
Wolves, like many Premier League sides, may rest players. Even if they don't, they have hardly been impressive this season. They face a Grimsby side who have recent history of shocking Premier League teams, having beaten Southampton. Grimsby come into this in great form, being unbeaten in nine league games and conceding in just one game. They look a decent gamble at 7.5.
13:30 Heerenveen v PEC Zwolle
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-166
Win
30
Heerenveen are a strong home side for BTTS, with 9 of their 11 games ending with both teams scoring. Zwolle have an even more impressive BTTS away record: only the first game of the season did not end that way, but their subsequent 10 games all ended with both teams scoring.
13:30 India vs Pakistan World Cup
India
Win Match
50 WIN
@-277
Win
18
India have been utterly dominant over Pakistan in every format. They've done far better in the tournament than Pakistan, brushing aside Namibia with ease and never looked like losing to the Dutch. Pakistan, by contrast, were lucky to beat the Netherlands, although they were more impressive against the USA. However, India look stronger, and their head-to-head dominance should continue.
13:00 Lulu Sun vs Magda Linette
Magda Linette
Win Match
50 WIN
@-161
Win
31
Sun has played two matches since her wrist injury in October and lost both. She failed to win a set in either match she would have been expected to win. Linette has won 7 of her 11 matches this year, with all 4 losses being to higher-ranked players (7, 19, 20, and 40). With Sun's dubious form, I like Linette.
11:15 Feyenoord v Go Ahead Eagles
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-149
Lose
-50
Feyenoord are a strong side, but they have been leaking goals at home, conceding in their last 8. It was just the odd goal either way, with them conceding an average of 2.25 goals per game. However, on the flip side, they have scored in every home game. 73% of Go Ahead Eagles away games end with both teams scoring, so Yes looks the option.
Draw #2-2
50 WIN
@+1600
Lose
-50
Go Ahead Eagles are a draw specialist, drawing 7 of their last 8. Four of those draws ended 2-2. Feyenoord are rightly strong favourites, but GA Eagles beat them 2-1 in the reverse fixture. They have been leaking goals at home of late, with 5 of their last 8 seeing them concede two or more, so 2-2 looks a lively option.
11:15 Motor Lublin v Lechia Gdansk
Yes (BTTS)
Both Teams to Score
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
Lechia are the best side in the league for BTTS, with 80% of their games ending that way. At home, Motor Lublin are running at a 70% success rate, so yes, looks the option.
09:30 USA vs Namibia World Cup
USA
Win Match
50 WIN
@-222
Win
22
I think the USA are too short, but they are the likely winners. They were impressive against the Dutch, and despite several illness problems they are looking stronger than Namibia. Namibia were thrashed by India and never really looked like winning against the Dutch, so I prefer the USA.
