sports betting advice, online casino ratings

Welcome to Gooners Guide – your daily fix of honest previews and sharp sports betting tips from punters who know their stuff (and work for beer).

We've been online since 1999, serving up value picks and football insights to help you beat the bookies – or at least buy the next round.

Our expert writers cover the English Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, plus major European cups and international matchdays.

You’ll also find weekly previews on NBA Basketball, MLB Baseball, NFL Football, College Football, NRL Rugby, and the ATP/WTA Tennis Tours.

Looking for more? Dive into our full reviews of trusted Bookmakers, Online Casinos, and Poker Rooms – because where you bet matters.

Just chasing the scores? Hit up our Live Football Scores page to stay up to date.

Want a "banker bet"? I'm posting a daily Banker Bet here - no promises but these are the most likely short priced winners. Or if you prefer +EV value betting then my bi-weekly +EV Value Bets page might be your style.

Fancy a bigger price during the NBA playoffs? We are posting daily NBA Playoff Prop Bets here - higher risk, higher reward picks on player points, rebounds, assists and more. Small stakes only... but one good night can change the week.

JULY 2026 – SPORTS BETTING PICKS

July is championship month. The FIFA World Cup Finals reach their dramatic conclusion in the United States, with the knockout rounds deciding who will lift football's biggest prize. Tournament experience, tactical discipline, and composure under pressure often make the difference when every match is win or go home.

The tennis world turns to Wimbledon, where the sport's biggest stars compete for Grand Slam glory on the famous grass courts of London. Fast conditions, powerful serving, and fine margins make Wimbledon one of the year's premier betting events.

In Australia, the NRL and State of Origin remain centre stage, with the deciding Origin clash promising another fierce battle between New South Wales and Queensland. Meanwhile, the Major League Baseball season continues daily across North America, where pitching matchups and current form often provide the best betting value.

Our daily betting previews focus on form, matchups, motivation, and market value rather than headlines and hype. Whether it's the World Cup, Wimbledon, State of Origin, or Major League Baseball, we aim to identify the factors that matter most before the odds move.

Looking for a place to bet without the nonsense? Our European Bookmaker and Offshore Sportsbook reviews cut through the marketing—straightforward, experience-based reviews written for bettors who care about trust, pricing, and reliability.

We want YOU to be safe out there and only play at safe, established online gaming properties that treat players right with quick payouts and top service. Here is how we test the online casinos BEFORE we recommend them.

We play test and rate over 100 online casino properties four times a year, and we check the licenses, we make deposits and withdrawals with e-wallets, credit cards and crypocurrency, and make sure that the sites are paying out quickly. we also review all player feedback that we get from the thousands of readers that have actually tried these places.

Then we sit down and eliminate over 80 percent of the sites that simply do NOT fit. Our approach is to only use "best-in-class" operators. We work out which casinos are the best places to bet online and then recommend the top casinos in our lists.

You can see our current recommendations of the best casinos on the internet at our dedicated online casino review section.
