Barking Dog's Tips History

27 April 2025

19:00 Shaun Murphy v Judd Trump

Shaun Murphy to win 13-7

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@67.00

Open

Judd Trump might get into overdrive soon in this match. If that occurs, he will steamroller Shaun to progress into the next round.

19:00 Si Jiahui v Ben Woollaston

Ben Woollaston 3.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.95

Open

Ben Woollaston could progress further if he can overcome the nervous disposition he has. A nice guy who has more to give as experience helps him.

18:45 6:45 Southwell

Caballo De Mar

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@5.50

Win

135

This horse has everything going. He's a big improver with a four-timer behind him. Improving leaps and bounds and has a great chance of a five-timer. Nap of the day for us.

16:30 Liverpool v Tottenham

Liverpool

50 WIN

@1.25

Win

Liverpool look like beating a distraught Tottenham or winning the Premier League. Can you really see Tottenham spoiling the party? No way!

14:30 Ronnie OSullivan v Pang Junxu

Pang Junxu 5.50

Handicap Betting

500 WIN

@1.73

Open

Pang, with a handicap start of +5.5 frames, must have a pretty good chance of winning as Ronnie's concentration might not be so good after time out of snooker.

10:00 Shaun Murphy v Judd Trump

Judd Trump

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.36

Open

Trump looks the more likely to proceed to the next round of the World Championships at the expense of Shaun Murphy. Both previous champions.

26 April 2025

15:00 Cardiff v West Brom

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

Both teams need goals, Cardiff more than West Bromwich Albion. Cardiff are in relegation trouble and West Brom in no man's land. Suits Cardiff. +2.5

15:00 Cheltenham v Carlisle

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.90

Win

Plus 2.5 goals are the order of the day here as struggling Carlisle, if they lose, are mathematically certain of non-league football in the National League next season. They have to attack today at the expense of conceding goals.

15:00 Chesterfield v Morecambe

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.60

Win

Chesterfield have trouble striking Morecambe today. Morecambe are relegated already, and Chesterfield are going to try and kick them hard today as Chesterfield still have a mathematical chance of playoffs.

15:00 Hull v Derby

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.62

Lose

-50

Hull at home to struggling Derby. Hull could send Derby home and send them into further trouble trying to avoid relegation. I expect goals.

15:00 Newcastle v Ipswich

Newcastle

50 WIN

@1.18

Win

Newcastle look as if they can destroy Ipswich, so long as they are not overconfident. I am pretty sure the return of Eddie Howe after illness will edge them home

15:00 Walsall v Accrington Stanley

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

Walsall must beat Accrington today to get back into the top three promotion automatic spots. They can do the 2.5 goals on the way to the three points.

15:00 Wolverhampton v Leicester

Wolverhampton

50 WIN

@1.53

Win

Another three points to Wolves will see them climb a place or two as a result. If they play to their capabilities, then they can blow a sad-looking Leicester away.

14:25 2:25 Sandown

Gaelic Warrior

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@2.25

Win

Gaelic Warrior looks like the one of all Willie Mullins' entries to go with. This should help with the battle between Mullins and Skelton for Champion Trainer. Last day of the season on Saturday. Our nap of the day.

12:30 Chelsea v Everton

Chelsea

50 WIN

@1.57

Win

Chelsea cannot afford to slip up against Everton if they are going to achieve qualification for next season's Champions League. A win is vital.

12:30 Leyton Orient v Wycombe

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

Leyton Orient still have playoff hope and are in 6th place. Wycombe MUST win the game to hope Wrexham slip up. This early kickoff could have +2.5 goals.

25 April 2025

20:00 Stoke v Sheff Utd

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

Over 2.5 goals looks good as Stoke attempt to recover from being mauled by Leeds in their last match. Can they recover? A firm NO, but they might score a goal to combat the goals scored by United.

15:17 3:17 Perth

Coco Mademoiselle

Daily Racing

500 WINNAP

@2.20

Win

600

Coco looks the right bet to regain form for Dan Skelton up at Perth today. Fell latest when going well. A bet that we hope can land our nap.

13:00 Chris Wakelin v Mark Allen

Mark Allen

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.33

Lose

-50

Mark Allen is my idea of being able to reach at least the semi-final. He is showing consistent form and will take a lot of beating. Highly fancied against Chris Wakelin.

Mark Allen -3.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.83

Lose

-50

Mark Allen can win the handicap bet here by defeating Chris Wakelin from -3.5 frames. Allen is a big fancy to take the title outright.

24 April 2025

19:00 Mark Selby v Ben Woollaston

Ben Woollaston 4.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@2.00

Win

Ben Woollaston can take us the points with a +4.50 frame handicap start. An improving player against an older player dropping down the rankings.

18:55 6:55 Chelmsford City

Flag Of St George

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@4.00

Lose

-10

Our nap of the day is Flag of St George, who drops in grade and in weight given by the handicapper and looks well treated on all known form.

17:15 5:15 Kilbeggan

Heidis Frontiere

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.00

Lose

-50

Heidi's Fortune is now being given a chance by the handicapper and with five each way places up for grabs could oblige at Kilbeggan today.

17:10 5:10 Bangor on Dee

Im A Lumberjack

Daily Racing

25 EWNBNOTETip made at odds of 3.50 on 24/04 at 07:160.30 deduction for Ronnies Rules@3.25 withdrawn at 07:330.15 deduction for Groovy Blue @6.500 withdrawn at 10:370.10 deduction for Bear Market @8.500 withdrawn at 16:27R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 2.50 x (1-0.55) = 2.13

@2.13

Win

I'm a Lumberjack has been found a decent opportunity by Alan King and could take a lot of beating if putting his best hooves forward.

23 April 2025

20:00 Inter Milan v AC Milan

Under 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.05

Lose

-50

A bet of under 2.5 goals looks favorable in this local derby. The result will be tight, I feel, and not many goals in the game are expected.

19:00 Judd Trump v Zhou Yuelong

Judd Trump

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.14

Win

Judd Trump will take all the beating in the tournament, so he is unlikely to get beat here in the first round of the competition this year.

18:20 6:20 Lingfield

Ghaiyya

Daily Racing

25 EWNBNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deductionBest Odds Guaranteed SP 5.50 used instead of 4.50 takenBOG

@5.50

-3

Ghaiyya, a well-bred filly from the yard of Charlie Johnson, looks to have every chance in quite a competitive event. The extra trip will suit.

15:32 3:32 Catterick

Magna Grecia Star

Daily Racing

500 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-500

The Tate horse looks certainly the one to beat here, and I cannot see him being beaten in this race at Catterick. Impressive last time and more to come today under Rossa Ryan.

14:30 2:30 Catterick

Tees Aggregates

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@5.00

Lose

-50

Tees Aggregates looks to have every chance in the second race at Catterick today. Harrison Shaw takes over in the saddle today from the claimer, and that's a positive too. Our nap of the day.

14:30 Ronnie OSullivan v Allister Carter

Allister Carter

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.30

Lose

-50

Ali Carter is taken to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan and knock the previous holder out of this competition. Ronnie will come here fresh, but Ali can outgun him.

Allister Carter 2.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.70

Lose

-50

Ali Carter is losing 4-5 at the interval, but he is a strong, never-say-die person who will fight to the bitter end. That makes him +2.5 a big bet today.

Ronnie O’Sullivan to win 10-9

Frame Betting

50 WIN

@9.50

Lose

-50

Ronnie is expected to win, but I feel it could be closer than expected as Ali Carter is an experienced player who will not lie down to anyone.

10:00 Shaun Murphy v Daniel Wells

Shaun Murphy

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.17

Win

Shaun Murphy should be able to get through to the next round and beat Daniel Wells. Surely we have had our share of 'coupon busters' to last the whole tournament.

Daniel Wells 6.50

Handicap Betting

50 WIN

@1.90

Win

6.50 is a big handicap to give away. Daniel Wells cannot play as badly as yesterday. Therefore, I think his nerves might not be so bad today, and he wins a few frames. But still, it's a huge task to win.

22 April 2025

20:30 Barcelona v Mallorca

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.50

Lose

-50

Looks likely a goals feast here as Barcelona try to stretch their lead to 7 points as they bid to take the title back from Real Madrid this season.

20:00 Man City v Aston Villa

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.53

Win

Manchester City and Aston Villa look likely to serve up goals as Aston Villa need to attack and beat City to leapfrog them into a Champions League spot.

19:45 Derry City v Sligo Rovers

Under 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.80

Lose

-50

A tight game is expected here as Derry take on bottom-of-the-league Sligo Rovers. I am thinking this game will be played with caution and not many goals.

19:43 7:43 Hereford

Race To Base

Daily Racing

50 WINNBNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@2.38

Win

Race To Base was just caught near the finish of the race last time. With normal improvement, he should be getting a gold medal in the winner's enclosure.

18:00 Valencia v Espanyol

Under 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.67

Win

Not many goals are expected here with two teams who are not prolific scorers. They will be very happy to both take one point each to help reach safety.

16:55 4:55 Thirsk

Jan Steen

Daily Racing

500 WINNOTETip made at odds of 1.67 on 22/04 at 14:020.15 deduction for Ameeq@5.50 withdrawn at 16:59R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 0.67 x (1-0.15) = 1.57

@1.57

This Karl Burke newcomer will give them all a severe test and should win comfortably. Clifford Lee is the jockey who rides these newcomers excellently.

14:30 2:30 Kelso

Fiver Friday

Daily Racing

500 WINNAP

@1.57

Lose

-500

Fiver Friday travels from Ireland and will take all the beating at Kelso on Tuesday. Fiver Friday was promising on the flat and should improve further.

21 April 2025

20:00 Tottenham v Nottm Forest

Nottm Forest

50 WIN

@2.62

Win

Notts Forest can move back to a Champions League spot if they can grind out a win at struggling Spurs. I think they are a squad who can do it.

15:00 Blackpool v Wrexham

Blackpool

500 WIN

@2.62

Lose

-500

Wrexham have seemingly lost the plot, while Blackpool could still make the playoffs if they win and other results go their way.

15:00 Doncaster v Colchester

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.08

Win

Goals are expected here as Doncaster pursue Port Vale for the winner's spot in League Two. Walsall have collapsed and seem unlikely to get back in the top three.

15:00 Rochdale v AFC Fylde

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.60

Lose

-50

Rochdale need to win this game, and handsomely, to assist their ambitions of the playoffs. I think they will show AFC Fylde the real Rochdale.

15:00 Swindon v Bromley

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.62

Lose

-50

Swindon, on the up after Ian Holloway's appointment, can engage in a battle of goals against Bromley, who are capable of scoring goals themselves.

15:00 Wigan v Rotherham

Under 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.62

Win

A game where there appears it could be void of goals... Wigan struggling, Rotherham struggling... recipe for a dull stalemate with few goals... I think some of the crowd will fall asleep here!

15:00 Wycombe v Charlton

Under 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.67

Lose

-50

There appear very few flaws in Wycombe's defense of late, but upfront, finding things difficult too. Looks like a game with very few goals.

14:24 2:24 Chepstow

Zaochen Enki

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@2.00

Paul Nicholls can take this maiden hurdle at Chepstow and land our nap of the day to assist our ambitious target of more prizes.

12:30 Newport County v Walsall

Newport County

500 WIN

@6.25

Lose

-500

Newport are good at home, and struggling Walsall are going to be under constant pressure if the home team is in the mood from the first minute. Walsall could be crying for half-time!
