However, anyone with more than a passing interest in political betting will already be sizing up the popular options for 2020. Will Donald Trump be returned […]

Continue readingCelebrity Big Brother Winner Betting Odds
The circus that is Celebrity Big Brother has returned to our screens with a number of well known (and less well known names), battling it out for supremacy in the house. It’s one of the oldest reality TV shows still on the schedules and remains popular despite having been dropped in the UK by its former channel.

It will be some time before the BBC Sports Personality of the Year show comes along to recognise outstanding achievement but at this early stage, it can be wise to seek out some ante post value.

Following the draw for the group stages of the 2018 World Cup, the bottom half contains the two teams who are locked together as favourites for the outright win. Holders Germany start in Group F while Group E contains a Brazilian side who are looking for their first World Cup title since 2002.
Continue readingWorld Cup 2018: Predictions for Groups A to D
With squads having been confirmed, the 32 teams involved are now carrying out their final preparations for Russia 2018 and the latest edition of football’s World Cup. We know all about the outright betting where, in a very tight market, many bookmakers list both Germany and Brazil as the joint favourites but what about the challenges that they face along the way?
Continue readingRoyal Wedding Betting 2018
Over the months that followed the announcement of the engagement, we’ve looked at a number of pre-wedding markets including date, venue and the identity of the best man but while all of those have been settled, there is still plenty for us to punt on.
Continue readingEurovision 2018 Odds
We’ve less than a month to go now until the 2018 edition of Eurovision and this is the time when the betting markets really start to intensify. Those markets have been open for some time now but as the individual countries involved have started to confirm their entries, we’ve seen a lot of movement at the top of the leaderboard.
Continue readingGreyhound Racing Odds: April 2018
This month offers plenty of action on the dog tracks with some high class races available right across the UK and beyond. There are daily events to enjoy as always but April also sees some of the more prestigious races on the greyhound calendar.
Continue readingRBC Heritage: Dustin Johnson Heads Weakened Field
With many golfers taking a break after the physical and mental challenge of the US Masters, the traditional follow up event can often be a subdued affair. This year however, the RBC Heritage has a little more to shout about as it celebrates its fiftieth year and for this notable anniversary, the World Number One is in town.

Houston Open: Tight Market for Final Masters Warm Up
With such a close proximity to the 2018 Masters, it’s perhaps surprising that we don’t have a stronger field for the Houston Open this week. There’s no Dustin Johnson, no Justin Thomas and no Rory McIlroy but that does leave a competitive declaration which should give us some value in the markets.
Continue readingArnold Palmer Invitational: Time to Get Behind the Tiger?
We called Tiger for a Top Ten finish last week and ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational which starts on Thursday, he now shoots straight to the top of the outright markets. He will be a little short for some but when you look at his previous record here, his position at the head of the betting is certainly justified.
Continue readingHonda Classic: Rory Primed for Florida Win?
With the US Tour coming to the PGA National, we have a prestige event in store this week so it’s perhaps a little surprising that the field for the Honda Classic isn’t stronger.
Continue readingSnooker World Championship 2018 Odds
Early 2018 exchanges on the green baize have featured an eclectic mix of tournaments with high prestige events such as the Masters, with its restricted field, combined with the ‘hit and giggle’ format of the shootout which invites players from around the world and descends right through the rankings.

Continue readingAnthony Joshua v Joseph Parker
First up for Anthony Joshua this year is a defence of his heavyweight world titles against New Zealand’s Joseph Parker with the fight taking place in Cardiff on March 31st. As the multiple title holder, Joshua is an obvious favourite but there is no doubt that he is coming up against an opponent with a formidable record.
Continue readingRazzies 2018 Odds
The Golden Raspberry Awards, or the Razzies as they are more commonly known, were incepted in 1981 to recognise the worst performances in the film industry over the course of the previous 12 months. Over the years they have gained a cult following and now have a regular, annual place on the award calendar.
Continue readingBayeux Tapestry Betting
Recent news has told us that the French President Emmanuel Macron has agreed to loan Britain the tapestry and that it will leave the shores of France for the first time in 950 years. It’s likely to go on display here in 2020 but the question for many is where and that’s exactly what the bookmakers are speculating on.
Continue readingEurovision Song Contest Betting
Eurovision divides many TV viewers with some seeing the annual ‘sing off’ across the continent as little more than a joke. For others it’s great fun and some even hold Eurovision parties to help while away the many hours in which the programme is on our screens.

Reality shows are to the fore in TV scheduling at the start of the year and The Voice came back to our screens in the very first week of 2018.
