BETBROKERS, the Canary Wharf based betting group, has gone into liquidation.

The brokerage ceased trading two weeks ago and 28 staff members have lost their jobs and their last month’s pay.

Staff were told of the decision by chairman and chief executive Wayne Lochner at a meeting on August 22.

I've returned from my hols and the Sorceror of Stakes, Micky Sharp, has kept the balance ticking over nicely by tipping Kevin Pietersen at 3/1 to be England’s top batsman in last week’s fourth Test.

Unfortunately there wasn’t enough money in the hat to go to the West Indies, but just enough for a week in the Isle of Wight.

But I’m glad to be back for the start of the football season and get those holiday funds built up for more far-away shores next summer.

Betbrokers' Nigel Seeley - The Wizard of Odds - gives his top betting tips for the week.

The bank holiday temperatures are expected to soar and the sporting action, including the French Open and the Monaco Grand Prix, indicates summer has finally arrived.

The second tennis grand slam of the season starts on Paris’s clay courts and if you are looking for an outsider to end Rafael Nadal’s domination of Roland Garros, forget it!

The king of clay has not lost a singles match in Paris in 21 matches and has only lost twice on the surface in three years.

Betbrokers' Nigel Seeley - The Wizard of Odds - gives Wharfers the lowdown on where to place their bets this week.

He who dares wins? Famous words from Del-Boy, but unfortunately we ended up looking “right plonkers� with a total loss of £50 last weekend.

With two major football finals this week we can get our figure up again, but we start with cricket where England face New Zealand in the first test at Lord’s on Thursday.

Betbrokers' Nigel Seeley - The "Wizard of Odds" - picks his selections for Wharf punters to back.

Oi Oi you punters! That was the cheer when all three of our selections went in at the weekend netting us a very healthy £107.76 profit.

This weekend’s conclusion to the Premier League offers some of the best punting opportunities of the year. Manchester United are going for the title while Wigan have lost every game to United in their history. But are they 16/1 pokes at home? No!

If this game was played five weeks ago Wigan would be no bigger than 7/1 to win. Just because United need to win to retain the title bookies have doubled their price. It’s the age long argument with gambling – putting reason before value. 16/1 on Wigan winning is too big for a team which defeated Aston Villa and held Chelsea 1-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Betbrokers' Nigel Seeley - "The Wizard of Odds" - gives his tips for the week:

ASTON Villa's Ashley Young wasn't the only person to hit the crossbar last weekend!

We just missed out on a small fortune when Villa were held 2-2 by Everton, ending our hopes of a very nice treble. But our two other suggestions, Sunderland and Sheffield United, did the business to net us a tidy £28.43 profit.

This weekend sees the conclusion of the Championship. With so many teams fighting for their lives at both ends of the division it's hard to have a serious wager as the form book always goes out of the window on the final day.

We came down to earth with a bang last weekend after a £30 loss on the US Masters and Premiership.

But we WILL get it back – starting with strugglers Fulham at a massive 10/3 to beat Liverpool at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

The Cottagers did us no favours last week, pulling off a shock by beating Reading to end a 38-game run without an away win.

Nigel Seeley - "The Wizard of Odds" - from Betbrokers gives his top betting tips for this week.

Another great week with a second successive 100 per cent score for the Wizard.

This week’s sporting action focuses on the US Masters golf, which starts at the Augusta National Club today (April 10).

Punters are asking if anybody can stop Tiger Woods and can you honestly back him at odds of 5/4
to win? Tiger, bidding for his fifth Masters title, goes into the competition as the shortest priced favourite in Masters’ history and is without doubt at the top of his game.
