Hogsback's Tips History

All tips
28 October 2025
19:45 Bradford v Lincoln City

Draw

50 WIN

@3.30

Win

115

Both teams have close records and are both at the top end of the League One table. Bradford City have two more points than Lincoln City. The Bantams against The Imps looks likely to be a draw.
19:45 Mansfield v Plymouth

Plymouth

50 WIN

@3.15

Lose

-50

Against a common opponent in Burton Albion, both teams have been on away trips with very differing results. Mansfield Town visited Burton very early in the season and lost by two goals to one. By contrast, when Plymouth Argyle visited Burton, it was Plymouth that ran away as four goals to nil winners. On that basis my prediction goes towards a Plymouth Argyle win.
27 October 2025
20:00 Port Vale v Stockport

Stockport

50 WIN

@2.80

Win

90

Stockport County have been building in the Conference League for some years and they are now fourth in League One. Port Vale have been on a good run of their own but still sit in eighteenth place. County can take all the points.
26 October 2025
20:25 DAL Cowboys @ DEN Broncos

DAL Cowboys

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.65

Lose

-50

Dallas Cowboys can put up some big scores. After the New York Giants racked up 32 points against the Denver Broncos, the Dallas Cowboys should be going even higher.

DAL Cowboys - DAL Cowboys

Double Result

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

The Dallas Cowboys can lead this match from start to finish. They have arguably the league's best-ranked offense. They put up good numbers and can overcome the Broncos' defensive schemes.

CeeDee Lamb (DAL Cowboys)

First Touchdown Scorer

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

CeeDee Lamb will be keen to score for the Dallas Cowboys. The passing game is an area where the Cowboys excel.
17:00 BUF Bills @ CAR Panthers

Dalton Kincaid (BUF Bills)

First Touchdown Scorer

50 WIN

@12.00

Lose

-50

Dalton Kincaid has scored three touchdowns in three separate games. He had an injury last week but should return tonight.
17:00 NY Giants @ PHI Eagles

Dallas Goedert (PHI Eagles)

First Touchdown Scorer

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

Dallas Goedert is often the player who makes tough catches for Philadelphia Eagles and keeps them in the game. He has a presence around the scoring zone.
15:00 Rangers v Kilmarnock

Rangers

14:40 James Wade vs Luke Humphries

James Wade

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@3.50

Lose

-50

James Wade has been playing equally as well as Luke Humphries has to this point in the competition. No favourite has been a safe bet this weekend. James Wade can win.

James Wade 2.50

Handicap 2-way

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Big match wins are never far from James Wade. If you look at it from Luke Humphries' view, this is probably the toughest opponent left to face.
14:30 Aberdeen v Hibernian

Draw

14:00 Bournemouth v Nottm Forest

Bournemouth

Bournemouth are red hot at the moment. Nottingham Forest have again sacked their manager. Teams that do that more than once a season don't usually fare well. Forest are in trouble.
14:00 Wolverhampton v Burnley

Burnley

Wolves fans will be marking this down as their first win of the season. Burnley are fourth from bottom, with Wolves five points adrift. Burnley have scored nine league goals to just five from Wolves and I think that will be the difference.
25 October 2025
18:15 Ricardo Pietreczko vs Jermaine Wattimena

Jermaine Wattimena

Most 180s

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

22

Jermaine Wattimena is almost certain to outscore Ricardo Pietreczko on the highest score with three darts. The Dutchman is in top form.

Over 8.50

Total 180s

50 WIN

@2.45

Lose

-50

Jermaine Wattimena will be the heavy lifter in the scoring of 180s. As we saw last night, Picachu can add a few himself.
17:30 Man Utd v Brighton

Brighton

Manchester United are largely basing what has been a relatively poor season for them on last week's win at Anfield. Brighton have shown their pedigree with wins over Newcastle and Chelsea in two of their last three games.
15:00 Blackburn v Southampton

Southampton

I thought Southampton had a bad scoring record with 12 league goals in the Championship. Blackburn Rovers have a 33% worse record for goals with just 8, by far the Championship's worst scoring record outside of Sheffield. Blackburn Rovers also have four defeats from their last five games.
15:00 Chelsea v Sunderland

Chelsea

Chelsea have strung together a couple of Premier League wins over Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. This appears to be more straightforward for Chelsea to win again.
15:00 Chris Dobey vs Michael van Gerwen

Chris Dobey

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

Chris Dobey is a Premier League player from this past season. He is in better form than Michael van Gerwen and can get the better of the Dutchman.

Chris Dobey 1.50

Handicap 2-way

50 WIN

@1.80

Lose

-50

I think Chris Dobey will win this match on even terms. He dispatched Stephen Bunting comfortably in the last round. Michael van Gerwen looks more scratchy.

Chris Dobey

Most 180s

50 WIN

@1.73

Win

37

Chris Dobey on form, will score maximums at a far faster rate than Michael van Gerwen. Hollywood should go well this weekend.
15:00 Hull v Charlton

Charlton

50 WIN

@2.95

Lose

-50

Both teams have been playing and winning matches in the Championship. Hull City have a good scoring record with nineteen goals but have conceded at the same rate. Charlton have conceded just nine times while still carrying a goal threat, scoring thirteen times.
15:00 Newcastle v Fulham

Newcastle

Newcastle United have had mixed results so far this season. The visit of Fulham is a match where Newcastle will be expecting to overpower the opposition and take all three points. Newcastle are good value at home.
14:00 Martin Schindler vs Ryan Joyce

Over 7.50

Total 180s

50 WIN

@1.95

Win

47

The bar has been set pretty low for this match in terms of 180s. Ryan Joyce has an unfounded reputation for not hitting them enough.
12:30 Portsmouth v Stoke

Stoke

50 WIN

@2.70

Win

85

Stoke City have lost one game in their last five. The biggest threat to this bet is the draw. Stoke City have been going well and have five wins this season, two more than Portsmouth.
12:00 Ryan Searle vs Gian van Veen

Gian van Veen

Most 180s

50 WIN

@1.80

Win

40

Gian van Veen can hit 180s on a regular basis. He should have the most at the end of the game. Ryan Searle is not quite so good.

Over 9.50

Total 180s

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

46

In this longer format of first to ten legs, I would expect more 180s than the expected nine. Gian van Veen and Ryan Searle should get more well before the match ends.
24 October 2025
21:30 Dirk van Duijvenbode vs Danny Noppert

Danny Noppert

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@2.20

Win

60

This all-Dutch clash appears more of a flip of a coin than most matches. The match is difficult to call, so it's worth more to take the better odds.
21:00 Nathan Aspinall vs Rob Cross

Rob Cross

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@2.38

Lose

-50

Nathan Aspinall is ranked number one at this tournament. It is not long ago that Rob Cross was in a similar position. This is closer than a 1 v 32 match.

Rob Cross

Most 180s

50 WIN

@5.00

Lose

-50

Rob Cross is no slouch when it comes to 180 scoring. On form that is sometimes shaky, Cross can outscore Nathan Aspinall.

Over 5.50

Total 180s

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Both players should combine to see the number of 180s in the match to comfortably get to a minimum of six maximums.
20:30 Luke Littler vs Raymond van Barneveld

Raymond van Barneveld 3.50

Handicap 2-way

50 WIN

@1.67

Lose

-50

There was a time when Raymond van Barneveld was always a strong favorite, but Luke Littler would have been a schoolboy! I would only take Raymond van Barneveld with the given three and a half legs start nowadays.

Over 5.50

Total 180s

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

I would fully expect Luke Littler to hit most 180s. Raymond van Barneveld can definitely chip in too. Littler usually threatens scoring a nine darter.

Over 8.50

Total Legs

50 WIN

@1.83

Lose

-50

Raymond van Barneveld still has some stage presence. In Germany Luke Littler does not normally play as the crowd get to him. That gives Raymond van Barneveld the chance to keep this game closer than expected.
20:00 Leeds v West Ham

West Ham

50 WIN

@3.60

Lose

-50

This could fall right for Nuno Espirito Santo's tactic of counter-attacking. He did well at Nottingham Forest and West Ham United need to quickly morph into a similar set-up for success.
20:00 Luke Humphries vs Krzysztof Ratajski

Krzysztof Ratajski

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@3.40

Lose

-50

Many of these opening round games have gone against the favorite. The Polish Eagle can deliver the latest blow to a top seed. Krzysztof Ratajski is showing some of his best form.

Krzysztof Ratajski 2.50

Handicap 2-way

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

As a precaution, Krzysztof Ratajski with a two and a half leg start over Luke Humphries looks reasonably safe. He has to get four legs to win with the handicap.
19:30 Josh Rock vs Ricardo Pietreczko

Josh Rock

Most 180s

50 WIN

@1.25

Win

12

Josh Rock is a very strong hitter of maximum 180 scores. Ricardo Pietreczko does not score many, even in his best form.

Over 5.50

Total 180s

50 WIN

@2.20

Win

60

The over 180s will largely depend on Josh Rock. He should score the bulk of the minimum of six needed. Ricardo Pietreczko can chip in to make the score go over the minimum of five.
23 October 2025
21:30 Stephen Bunting vs Chris Dobey

Chris Dobey

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@2.30

Win

65

In this former all Premier League clash, Chris Dobey has beaten Stephen Bunting before, in the said Premier League tournament. Chris Dobey can't be easily dismissed.

Draw

Most 180s

50 WIN

@5.50

Lose

-50

The odds are close enough to think it could be a draw on 180 scoring. Both players are great scorers around the lipstick.
19:00 Gian van Veen vs Damon Heta

Gian van Veen -1.50

Handicap 2-way

50 WIN

@1.80

Win

40

With Damon Heta so out of form, Gian van Veen can easily overcome the handicap as one of the best players of the weekend.
18:00 Gian van Veen vs Damon Heta

Gian van Veen

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@1.50

Win

25

Gian van Veen is one of the best players in form. He also has plenty of room to move up the rankings. Damon Heta seems a bit stuck. His form has dropped off badly.
10:30 India W vs New Zealand W World Cup

New Zealand W

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.60

Lose

-50

India have not been quite on the money in terms of performance or results. New Zealand have been unlucky with poor weather. New Zealand to win.

SFM Devine

Man Of The Match

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

For New Zealand to win this match, they have to have a dominant performance from their leader Sophie Devine. She can deliver just that as she has been playing very well.
21 October 2025
20:00 Bristol City v Southampton

Southampton

Southampton have drawn far too many games. Bristol City have been okay with results and expectations. Southampton have been gradually getting things in place, but scoring has been an issue. That is the last and most important thing to get right and I think they will tonight.
19:45 Blackburn v Sheff Utd

Sheff Utd

There is a lot of unrest behind the scenes at Blackburn Rovers. Sheffield United have not yet shown enough on the field. I would expect them to rally at some point and start winning.
19:45 Hull v Leicester

Hull

Hull City have won their last two games and look improved from the early days of the season. Leicester City are at a crossroads as they have drawn several games. That is one win in six, but with five draws. Hull can overcome them with Ollie McBurney up front.
19:45 Portsmouth v Coventry

Coventry

Coventry City have been beating everyone and by comfortable margins. They will be looking for another win to extend their run.
08:30 Bangladesh vs West Indies 2nd ODI

Rishad Hossain

Man Of The Match

50 WIN

@13.00

Lose

-50

Spin bowling is key to the pitches in Bangladesh at the moment. It has been difficult to bat on. Leg spinner Rishad Hossain has one man of the match already. He will prove to be a handful again.
