THE ATP Houston has reached the quarter-final stage and top seed Feliciano Lopez aims to edge closer to the title on Friday.
The Spaniard – 19-10 title favourite at Betfair – faces a tricky clash with Sam Querrey and is 17-20 at BetVictor to see off the American who's priced up at evens by 888sport.
Big-serving South African Kevin Anderson is favourite in the day's other quarter-final at 8-11 with Sportingbet when he takes on Jeremy Chardy, an 11-8 shot at 888sport.
There's also WTA last-eight action from Katowice where Agnieszka Radwanska and Alize Cornet are expected to sail through.
Elsewhere on Friday there's the likes of F1 qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix, IPL cricket, rugby and NBA action.

Morning guys,
Cycling: Pais Vasco 2015
Stage 5 match-ups:
QUINTANA v Scarponi
SPILAK v Van Garderen
Double @ 1.92 with 365
If you want bigger odds you can take YATES v Mollema @ 1.83 to make a bigger priced double or treble.
Well, I probably went tooo safe on the NBA last night, but nobody is gonna blame me for that :D
The under 191.5 pts in Heat/Bulls would have been a winner and Warriors did cover the spread. The safer double came in smoothly:
– Heat/Bulls under 203.5 pts
– Warriors/Blazers over 205.5 pts
@ 19/20 *** WIN ***
Morning Mr Orange
What tine does cycling start today and finish approx?
I have 2 conflicting times of 12.30 and 3.30.
Thanks
Time i mean ha.
Well done oriaZ another great win.
They started 12.20 and will finish about 16.15, still 105km to go!
Cheers Mr Orange
Nice double Oriaz. No such thing as a safe bet.
Steph Curry last night. Wow. 45 points, 8-13 threes, 10 assists. Think you can thank your double to him Oriaz haha
Couple of 2nd Round 3 Ball bets for the Masters today.
Spieth 10/11
Day 6/5
Double @ 32/10
Prices @ WillHill
Jordan, just surfaced after yesterday’s gruelling trip so good luck with those. Waiting for pick-up to go to play golf in 88 degrees heat so just like Glasgow.
Haha apparently there’s a bit more of a breeze today Mr F but they are also due a storm at some point so take your brolly if you’ve packed one! Bet you’re knackered.
Spieth the main bet.
6/5 for Spieth @ Stan James.
Nothing standing out for nee too much on tonight’s NBA
Gone for this treble so far tho
Magic +14
Lakers +3
Thunder -6
Pays EVS
Will post more when I have a better look later
Looks as if people are riding the Spurs train again Picksix but I’m a bit more wary of tonight. Have won me twice in a row so third time could be the killer. Especially in the beards home town.
Dodgers @ D’backs
Dodgers hits over 8.5 @ 1.74
Cardinals @ Reds
Cardinal @ 1.68
The Underdog Bet
Giants @ Padres
Giants @ 2.05
Click my name for reasoning.
Good luck everyone.
Keys Errani Verdasco Lopez…..pays around 19/10…..any thoughts guys?
Ye Jordan I’m not too confident of the Spurs tonight so I think I’m gonna pass that one reasons are they’ve beaten the spread the last 9 games it’s gonna come to an end soon even tho there playing brilliantly and as you said there playing the beard in his own backyard

Stage 5 match-ups:
QUINTANA v Scarponi
SPILAK v Van Garderen
Double @ 1.92 with 365 WIN :)
If you want bigger odds you can take YATES v Mollema @ 1.83 to make a bigger priced double or treble. WIN :)
Yeah certainly one to be wary of tonight mate. Got all tomorrows football bets down as I’m out for the Grand National with the mrs all day so I’ll be babysitting her by about 4:00PM I reckon (sigh).
Think I’m just going to stick with my treble but I’m putting up a prop now as I might not be around tonight.
Jordan Clarkson (Lakers) over 17 points @ 5/6 @ PP
Mr O hats off again. Not my thing but can’t deny your cycling skill!
Cheers Jordan!
Come on Spieth! 3 under today! 11 under overall! Stenson on par and Horschel +1 so Spieth leading the 3 ball by three! Keep it going son!
Day -1, Garcia par, Fowler +1 through 4 so the double is on! Long way to go yet.
Nice one Orange, I can never follow those bets because I’m always to late or there are not enough head to head bets available at my bookie…
What are your thoughts on Parijs Roubaix? This one looks good to me :
ROELANDTS vs Pozzato
Single @1.60
Which bookie do you use reddevils? Normally bet365 has the match-ups up first and Unibet and William Hill copy them. Betvictor has the best prices if you want to back someone to win or each-way for first 3 places.
Regarding the Paris-Roubaix match-ups I am still looking. I really like the Roelandts match up. Also checking Terpstra to beat Thomas, Vandenbergh to beat Stannard, Stybar to beat Sagan and Oss to beat Benoot. But nothing decided yet :)
IPL
Chennai Super Kings win
Kolkata Knight Riders win
@2.91 Betvictor
Cheers Mr Orange i was on your double.
My leaves are crispier and greener than ever..thanks to you.
No problem lettuce! :)
Had no time whatsoever to watch or study tennis recently. GNa stick a few quid on Kovinic to beat Petkovic tonight @ just under 4/1. Not based on much! Fast clay surface and Kovinic looks to be moving and playing well on it this week. Petkovic may well be too classy and steady but we shall see
My single for tonight is Raptors -5.5 against Orlando Magic @ 10/11
Also mixing Jordans/Picksix selections for this trebble:
– Thunder -5.5
– Lakers +4.5
– Hawks -1.5
@ EVS
GL all!
Ad, I’m also on that one. Go Kovinic!
So far so good!
And first set is for Kovinic,6-2! I don’t think I’m gonna cover this one, you Ad?
NBA Lettuce Longshot (couple of quid max)
Raptors -3
Cavaliers -3
Pacers -3
Hawks -7
Wizards +7
Spurs +4
Spurs v Rockets over 205.5

No Huggybear tonight?
Looks good enough Lettuce! Will put 1pt on it but removing Spurs +4 as I don’t like having 2 selections of a single match in bet.
GL.

Day 6/5 **LOSE**
Double @ 32/10 **LOSE**
Prices @ WillHill
Nobody is catching Spieth now.
Not posted for a while but first thoughts with tonights games i like Hawks and Nets half time points as long as team news is good this will be my main bet will post final bet later on
Nice one OriaZ.
Im still looking at doubles trebles etc.
I cant touch Lakers Timberwolves as out could happen with them 2 duffers.
Hope they pull through for those who have them.
I didn’t cover reddev. She’s lost her way a bit now though so prob Shouldve. looks a little leggy last few games
Needs to use more variety and mix it up a bit. Petko got a much better read on her game now, much more comfortable
I think it’s good news Kovinic is serving first this set. Easier to pull away from a very stubborn petkovic on the scoreboard that way. Hopefully miami will catch up with Andrea
My single is gonna be there being a shoutout between the wizards and the nets
Nets v wizards total points over 199 @ 10/11
Damn, always cover when u can. I don’t think she will comeback now!

Tonigte I will mostly like mix and match frm d thread… @huggybear & @jordan.. Any of you hear frm ATTILA.. Cheers
Going to stick with my early thoughts and go with the Hawks and Nets over 50.5 half time team points! Double pays 7/4 @SkyBet
Anaswhiz, not since his confident Rockets post :)
He’ll most likely turn up sooner or later.
attila , posts more winners on here than most , hurts when a confident pick lets u down.
been there guys . all of us !!!
cause for causes is gonna win the national mr cabbage so your wrong..

Lol brook Lopez scoring more points than the entire Washington team in the first quater
Haha Brook ‘I should be in the WWE’ Lopez.
Anyone backing under on the Hawks game will be cashing out for 100% profit about now.
Rockets/Spurs are on BT for anyone interested.
lool Wizards killing me right now I bet the total to go over and they missing all the time
Nets looking sh*t hot tho
MITCHYMITCH . HUGGY’S BACK

54 – 38 scraped in by 12 points .
yet another WINNER !!!!!
Cheers hugginator.
nets are on fire . they get it badly wrong too
money for the G N TOMORROW
Na that’ll stay in my account mate added it to my Spieth win. Going to see what pairings are up tomorrow.
Cavs in some serious trouble. No Kyrie! Do we get on the Cavs +6.5??
Small bet.
Nets 3rd quarter @ 6/5 @ 365
OMFG!!!!!!! Have any of you seen what the Rockets mascot just did to a Spurs fan??? Surely staged!?!?!?! Trying to get a video.
Tips backing women tennis players
Choose players with the shot selection good enough to trade on clay and with dexterity in there range of shots
Not playing the ball up the centre channel constantly
Watching begu making a pigs ear of trying to break kerber who lets face it if she wasn’t left handed would be hopeless on a slow court!
Coaches need to add a little more inventiveness to there players game plans!!
Check players unforced error count on the clay as well as begu and Giraldo are racking up the error count
Small bet.
Nets 3rd quarter @ 6/5 @ 365 **LOSE**
Captain hindsight says should have gone with the Cavs.
Nets lose the 3rd quarter then come out 20-1 in the 4th haha, cheers.
small bet loses . raptors win by 2
all about the bread and butter.
F*ck was going to go double stakes on the Clarkson points as I’m worried about my treble but they’re not at 17.5 @ 4/5. Not only me who thought that was a decent bet then. Might just cut the losses and hope for minimal loss and have a break on the hoops. Playoffs next Saturday. I can wait till then.
Now at*
Wow Celtics win in Cleveland!
Cheers Washington
Wizards v nets total points over 199 **LOOSE**
Finished at 197
Worst thing is the total actually went down to 197 after I bet it
Who will win between Grizzlies Jazz inplay? Im thinking Grizzlies but Jazz were faves.
Wet lettuce I m sure the Grizzlies started out as 3 point faves mate
Got a coin on you wetveg? Give it a flip.
Yeh sorry Picksix your right. Just got inplay acca all romping except Grizzlies and no cash out at min….boo.
Ouch unlucky picksix! I was keeping tabs because of my bonkers bet but the Cavs have f*cked it. Was looking promising too.
Need Thunder -5.5..Mavs +10 for Lettuce five fold.
Ye I dont reAly know wat the wizards were doing posting up a euro league score of 80
Wet lettuce sounds safe to call that a winner I’m jus waiting on the Lakers +3 for my treble
I feel sorry for oriaz that jimbob guy jinxed his bet big time
I need the Jazz game to stay under 188 but its touch and go.
If it goes over I’ll blame jimbob for returning :D
Wetveg can’t see Dallas losing by 11 now. Swear they were + underdogs too!?
A nice 14/1 on the Nuggets to cover my 5 fold lol
Nothing wrong with that mate. Good stuff.
It’s that touch and go the total is 187.5 haha
Has anyone else backed the Spurs yet for the championship? I put the same stake @ 5/1 as what I did for the Warriors @ 9/2. Definitely between those two. Cavs won’t win sh*t!

19/1 @ 365 **LOSE**
I think lesson learned here it my points picks are a lot better than my spread/win bets. I abandoned my bread and butter a few months ago when huggy left but I used to do quite well on the team points bets. Might start going back to those when the playoffs start.
Be quite sick if my treble doesn’t come in to be honest as I took the 197 out of the Houston/Spurs game for it. Wah wah wah waaaaaah.
Ye Jordan there’s no chance the Cavs will win the championship don’t know how they have stayed favorites for so long tbh of course they win games but I don’t see too much effort in them at all
Na, not coming in. F*ck it!
Thunder -5.5
Hawks -1.5
Grizzles/Jazz Under 188
12/10 @ 365 **LOSE**
No more unders for me. Never do it in football so don’t know why I bother in the highest scoring sport in the world. 50 lashes for Jordan tomorrow.
Picksix I know mate and they are still favourites now. It’s ridiculous. Don’t know what the bookies are seeing. Ok they have James, Irving and Love, but they don’t play as a team like the Warriors or Spurs do. James perhaps the most selfish player in the league too
Come on nuggets for my 14/1 cover bet to win..but make sure you dont win by 11 lol
The whole team seem selfish there all cocky ba*tards Ye I think the bookies are jus going on the fact they have the superstars hopefully that works in our favour tho so we can make some money come playoff time
If you want to get on a West team mate I’d suggest to do it now as the Cavs will only shorten the further they progress. Saying that, they might go out first round with that loss to Boston.
Jordan your unders looks in mate..hope so for you.
I have golden state mate at 7/2 if I can get the Spurs at 4s il be happy nothing Available just now tho they should be back up tomorow
Looking at tomorrow’s fixtures I’m thinking that GS spread against the Timberwolves is going to be ridiculous wouldn’t be surprised if it was around the 20 point mark
Picksix Spurs @ 9/2 @ BV mate!
FFS! Gasol fouls Hayward with one second for 3 free throws. If he makes these my bet is down.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers wetveg! I should write myself off more often! Jordan Clarkson with 11 points so I need 6 for a push in the second half. Not sure if I’m still going to be annoyed when I get up though. Could end up losing on the 19/1 by the Cavs losing at home. Only games running are the Mavericks +10 and Lakers/Timberwolves over 195…
F*ck me this Denver game is high scoring!
Haha both of us too early but at least you weren’t writing yourself off wetveg!
