09:30 England vs Italy World Cup

PD Salt (England)

Top Team1 Batsman

50 WIN

@+275

Lose

-50

Salty never got going in the last match but had been in some good form and I fully expect a really solid performance here against what looks like one of the weaker opponents in the group stage.

HJ Manenti (Italy)

Top Team2 Batsman

50 WIN

@+500

Lose

-50

With the captain likely to manufacture some amazing result here, which is very unlikely, he is more than capable with the bat. I think he represents good value for the top Italian batter.

15 February 2026

23:00 Victoria W vs Western Australia W One Day Match

Victoria W

Win Match

50 WIN

@+125

Lose

-50

Although Western are above in the standings, I think that at home Victoria have a solid chance. They represent great value as a team that are better at home and do have some quality in the line-up.

22:45 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am

Collin Morikawa

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+2500

Lose

-50

Still in the top 20 and was OK last week in Phoenix, so hoping that has got rid of the rust. Could go well here early at what looks like a really good price.

Denny McCarthy

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+3300

Lose

-50

A couple of solid events so far and a really solid set of rounds at the Amex. I think at this price he is great value.

Harry Hall

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+2800

Lose

-50

Let's ignore last week when he just didn't get going. In the Hawaiian Open he was super classy with an opening 65 and four sub-70 rounds.

J J Spaun

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+2500

Lose

-50

If he can recreate his blistering 66 that he shot two weeks ago at the Hawaiian Open, he has to be in with a chance here. The course looks set to suit his style.

J T Poston

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+3300

Lose

-50

A solid performance last week, and with two rounds of 67, he might just be hitting form and is really good value here.

Jacob Bridgeman

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+2800

Lose

-50

Started 2026 really well with three top-20 finishes and a T4 at the Hawaiian Open, so his form is good and he could go low early here.

Matt Fitzpatrick

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+2200

Lose

-50

His 9th at the Phoenix last week was started by an outstanding 65. So, with firm conditions and his ability, this looks like another good chance for a strong start.

Nico Echavarria

1st Round Leader

25 EW

@+5000

Lose

-50

The Colombian has had an atrocious start to 2025, but he's too good to lose this talent. Hoping he gets back to form, and the value is now available.

15:10 Wales v France

France

To Win

50 WIN

@-10000

Win

France will just be too strong against a weak Welsh side that got hammered by England in the opening game. There's no let-up here against the strong French team.

France -33.50

Handicap

50 WIN

@+104

Win

France look set to continue the pain for the Welsh, who look really weak in this year's Six Nations. I think they have enough to cover the handicap here.

Under 62.50

Total Points

50 WIN

@-109

Lose

-50

I think 64 points seems too high here. With a solid French defence, I'm not sure Wales can add enough to the totals to make this. I'll take the under.

15:00 Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors

Wigan Warriors

To Win

50 WIN

@-1250

Win

Wigan look strong here, and although away from home should be able to start the season with a win against a Castleford team that could have a long second half ahead.

@-120

Win

With 2 wins from 5 runs, but more importantly a really good course-and-distance win two starts ago. So, if he can reproduce that form, he will take all the beating here in a small field.

13:30 India vs Pakistan World Cup

Pakistan

Win Match

50 WIN

@+250

Lose

-50

The big game here for two nations that despise each other, and none more so than on the cricket pitch. With so much at stake, I think Pakistan could spring a bit of a surprise here with their young bowling and spin attack.

09:30 USA vs Namibia World Cup

Namibia

Win Match

50 WIN

@+137

Lose

-50

Two of the lesser cricketing nations here. I think the value lies with the Namibia team. They do have some quality in the batting lineup. If they post a big enough target, they can put pressure on the suspect USA batting lineup.

08:15 Australia W vs India W 1st T20 Match

India W

Win Match

50 WIN

@+200

Win

100

Two of the best women's teams here. Just think at 3/1 you can't avoid the strong Indian team, who are very dangerous with both bat and ball. It would be no shock to see them beat the Aussies here.

04:45 Maori All Stars v Indigenous All Stars

Maori All Stars

To Win

50 WIN

@-147

Push

I'll take the All Stars here in the friendly match. I think their style should allow them to score enough points to win this one.

14 February 2026

20:10 USA vs Denmark

USA

Money Line

50 WIN

@-3333

Win

The USA are fully expected to go all the way here. With this easy group game, although obviously massive favourites, they will win this easily with no shoick play in this game.

20:00 Toulon v Clermont

Toulon

To Win

50 WIN

@-400

Lose

-50

Home and away form are so key in the French league. With five wins from the last five for Toulouse and four losses in the last five for Clermont, it's a home win for me here.

20:00 Wakefield Trinity v Toulouse Olympique

Wakefield Trinity

To Win

50 WIN

@-2500

Lose

-50

At home, I fully expect Wakey to start the season with a win. Their home form is really solid. Although it's not an easy start, the history points me towards a home win.

Toulouse Olympique 24.50

Handicap (2-way)

50 WIN

@-124

Win

Toulouse are certainly no mugs, and with a 24-point start can't be avoided. This just appears too much for a team that have won their last five games. I think they should keep this close throughout.

Under 42.50

Total Points

50 WIN

@-109

Win

Wakey look too strong here, but Toulouse will be a tough nut to crack. I think with their strong defense they should be able to keep this tight. The 42-point total, as per the previous games for both, just seems high, so I'll take the unders.

17:30 Hull FC v Bradford Bulls

Hull FC

To Win

50 WIN

@-1666

Win

Hull look a solid call here. With five wins from the last five at home against Bradford, I fully expect them to start the new season with a win here at home.

Bradford Bulls 18.50

Handicap (2-way)

50 WIN

@-124

Win

Nineteen points is a big ask. Although Hull are strong at home, Bradford are no mugs. I think they should be able to keep it close enough.

Sixty percent of the last five meetings with Hull at home have seen the unders hit. I'll continue that stat here and take the inserts, which looks the value.

16:40 Scotland v England

England

To Win

50 WIN

@-344

With a dreadful loss to Italy in their first game and England looking very strong after their win, I just can't see Scotland turning it around.

England -9.50

Handicap

@+100

-50

After a convincing 41-point massacre of Wales, and Scotland embarrassed by Italy, I think England will dominate the Jocks again and inflict another defeat.

Over 46.50

Total Points

50 WIN

@-109

Win

England will want a similar performance to last week when they smashed the Welsh and no better feeling than going North and smashing the Jocks as well and if the opening games are anything to go by the totals looks well within reach

@+450

-50

Really solid win last time out when travelled smoothly throughout. Even though there was a slight mistake at the last, he kept on really well to win with a fair bit in hand. Could really give the favourite a good challenge here.

16:00 Palac Bydgoszcz W vs Budowlani Lodz W

Budowlani Lodz W

Win Match

50 WIN

@-666

Lose

-50

BL are high in the league standings. With another win here they will continue their solid run of form. With the much stronger squad, they should win here.

16:00 Prostejov W vs VK Lvice Praha W

Prostejov W

Win Match

50 WIN

@-714

The firm and table push me well towards the home win here, and there is no reason to think they will slip up at home.

15:40 Finland vs Italy

Finland

Money Line

50 WIN

@-5000

Win

This will just be a case of how many, as Finland are way stronger in every department of the game here. So don't think a shock will happen.

15:35 Lyon v Montauban

Lyon

To Win

50 WIN

@-10000

Win

Only 7 points from 16 games, so I just can't see Montauban winning here. Although Lyon are also low in the table, they should win.

15:00 Barnsley v AFC Wimbledon

Draw

50 WIN

@+250

Win

125

Only 1 point between the two teams in the league table, and with both having indifferent form at the moment, I'll take the draw, which looks like the sensible call.

15:00 Barrow v Colchester

Colchester

50 WIN

@+120

Lose

-50

Barrow are now only 3 points off the bottom of the league table and are in awful form with 5 straight losses, so I'll take the value on the away win here.

15:00 Blackpool v Plymouth

Plymouth

50 WIN

@+160

Win

I'm going for the value here based on previous meetings. Plymouth are unbeaten in the last 5 meetings, have won 4 of those, and are also ahead in the league table.

15:00 Bradford v Peterborough

Draw

50 WIN

@+250

Lose

-50

Four of the last five meetings between these two teams have finished as draws. With Bradford out of form and Posh coming good, a draw looks the best option.

15:00 Bromley v Notts County

Bromley

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@+139

Lose

-50

The top game in the league today as 1st play 3rd. I'll take Bromley to extend their lead at the top of the table with another win. They are in great form.

15:00 Cambridge Utd v Bristol Rovers

Cambridge Utd

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@-136

Win

29 points in front in the league table and 4 wins in the last 5. They will go 2nd in the table with another win here. I fully expect Cambridge to continue their good form and get a win here.

15:00 Cardiff v Luton

Cardiff

50 WIN

@-109

Win

18 points clear of Luton and sitting top of the league. With 4 wins from the last 5 at home, Cardiff look to be too strong here and are solid value.

15:00 Chesterfield v Harrogate Town

Chesterfield

50 WIN

@-227

Lose

-50

Chesterfield are a massive 27 points in front of Harrogate, who are bottom of the league table and have lost 4 of the last 5 games. So it's a safe home win here for me.

15:00 Crewe v Gillingham

Crewe

50 WIN

@+150

Win

Crewe are 6 points in front in the league table and are unbeaten in the last 4 games, so I think they will extend that lead with a win here.

15:00 Exeter v Northampton

Draw

50 WIN

@+245

Win

123

5 points in front in the league table but winless in the last 3 for Exeter, and the Cobblers are in good form. I think they can manage a draw here, as per the form guide.

15:00 Kladno vs Pribram

Kladno to win 3-0

Set Score

50 WIN

@+220

Lose

-50

Kladno should win here, and I'll take the value on the 3-0 scoreline. They have been in really good form. Keeping a clean set score will be tough, but I think it's the best value.

15:00 Liberec W vs Kralovo Pole W

Liberec W to win 3-0

Set Score

50 WIN

@+110

Win

Looking at the stats here and the solid form, especially at home, I expect another win here without dropping a set.

15:00 Lincoln City v Bolton

Draw

50 WIN

@+240

Win

120

It's 2nd vs 3rd in the league table here and both clubs have identical form records, with four wins from the last five games and a draw in the other. With such a close contest, I'll take the draw.

15:00 Milton Keynes Dons v Newport County

Milton Keynes Dons

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@-277

Win

Newport are in awful form and sit really low in the table, which is the opposite to MK Dons, who are only 8 points off the top spot and have an eye on automatic promotion.

15:00 Oldham v Fleetwood Town

Draw

50 WIN

@+240

Win

120

Two out-of-form teams here who are side by side in the league table, with nothing between them and both struggling. The draw just looks like the sensible call.

15:00 Shrewsbury v Swindon

Swindon

50 WIN

@+137

Lose

-50

Swindon have hit some really good form and have won four on the spin. With only four points off the top, they can win again here.

15:00 Tranmere v Crawley Town

Draw

50 WIN

@+259

Lose

-50

Tranmere are really struggling at the moment with five straight losses and no reason to think that will change here. Although Crawley are below them in the league, I think the draw could be a good call as these teams are closely matched.

15:00 VaLePa vs Loimu

VaLePa to win 3-0

Set Score

50 WIN

@+150

Win

VLP just look too strong here. I fully expect them to win and continue their run of good form. At home, they are one of the strongest teams in the league.

14:30 Werder Bremen v Bayern Munich

Harry Kane

First Goalscorer

50 WIN

@+300

Win

150

Werder are in awful form. With Bayern having seen their cushion at the top of the league closed, I think they will get back on track here. No better man to start that off than the prolific Kane, adding to his massive total already this season.

12:45 12:45 Gowran Park

Manoir De Mirande

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@+600

Win

After the debut win he hasn't progressed as expected and failed at short of last time out. But with Kennedy keeping the faith on board and from the Ytop Eliot years, he would be costly to ignore.

12:30 Barnet v Cheltenham

Barnet

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@-208

Lose

-50

Barnet look a solid call here. With Cheltenham having lost five straight games, it's a home win for me. And they look to climb the league table

12:30 Reading v Wycombe

Draw

50 WIN

@+240

Lose

-50

Side by side in the league table and with all the stats so close together for both these teams and both have only 1 loss in the last 5 games. I'll take the draw.

12:30 Stevenage v Huddersfield

Draw

50 WIN

@+220

Lose

-50

Huddersfield are 7 points up in the league on their host, but the form of both is similar and home advantage helps. So I'll take the draw in this one.

11:10 Sweden vs Slovakia

Sweden

Money Line

50 WIN

@-714

Win

Sweden look strong here. With some decent form coming into this one and the squad they have, they look way better than the Slovakian team.
