A CENTURY from Ian Bell has helped England into a commanding position after day one of the first Test with the West Indies.
The tourists look set to top 500 when they resume their first innings on 341-5 on Tuesday and are 4-7 at Bet365 to get the job done and win the opener.
The Windies are now up to 16-1 at Boylesports for the win and will hope to replicate the form that had England worried at 34-3 after Jonathan Trott, Gary Ballance and Alastair Cook all fell cheaply.
At the Monte Carlo Masters tennis Novak Djokovic begins his title bid against Albert Ramos-Vilonas on a busy day of second-round action that includes an eye-catching clash between Fernando Verdasco (6-4, William Hill) against Grigor Dimitrov, who is best price 3-5 at BetVictor.
There's also three NBA matches in the penultimate day of the regular season so good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.

Don’t know why I couldn’t post on yesterday’s thread … hoping it works now.
Nice winners Huggy/Jordan/Picksix!
Couldn’t get on Houston -5.5, but that was nicely spotted Jordan!
My single was Bucks -1.5 but the site wouldn’t let me post it.
Great night for the thread again.
cheers mate , glad you bagged a winner , we are all gonna start following Orio`s from now on….
your nba knowledge has blossomed under out tutelage ….
It’s evens for anyone who wants to get over 500 England runs, could be a nice earner considering the current score.Also taking into account they might start slow today after racking up some good runs yesterday you can get England fall of 6th wicket over 368.5 at 3/4, anyone got any opinions on these??
Haha cheers Huggy!
Just trying to help out the thread :D
Mate , thread is brilliant already , we need more like you , accept the tips for what they are , thanks for winners and accept the losers but know level stakes is long haul stuff… I know a bit but i`m influenced by what you all think , i`m sure jordan has talked me out of a few losers already.
i`ve also won a few quid off your tips , shotty , picksix and all the others.
keep posting em mate and keep this the WINNERS!!!! THREAD
off to bed now , but be interested to see the spread in the pacers / wizards game .
pacers play-off hopes are all about this win , wizards nothing to play for …
might have a small bet b4 the play-offs
exceptional shooting by cavaliers, i can see they are well prepared for playoffs
DANNY, thats why i chose them as a main bet , many a team been blown away from the fast cavs start.
hopefully they`ll increase my balance in the play-offs and hopefully a few got on our tips last night…
SNOOKER TIPS – Wolrd Championship Qualifiers Round of 32;
3 Points 4-FOLD:
– Graeme Dott (Tue & Wed 11am)
– Mark Davis (Tue & Wed 11am)
– Kurt Maflin (Tue & Wed 5pm)
– Robin Hull (Tue & Wed 5pm)
These are best of 19 frames, so games take a long time to finish. The new format has the doing the 1st 9 frames one day, then the remaining the next day. The 4 selections above got through their qualifying rounds with relative ease and should have too much class over the 19 frames.
For a Single with value, I think Mitchell Mann may be good for the upset. He pays $4.40 for the win but you can get him on the Handicaps at +2.5 frames which pays $2.36. His opponent McManus is much more experienced and is the deserved favourite, but he’s not in the best form right now whilst Mitch Mann has been playing reay well and I would rate him as fairly equal to McManus at the present meaning the odds on offer are very juicy.
Good Luck if you follow!
*BTW – 4-FOLD pays $4.35
Huggy, wish my bookie had half time spreads cos I wanted to do your Cavs bet & my GSW halftime spread but not on offer… Can get each quarter but not the halves. Hate taking the FT spread now so close to play offs…teams shut down badly in the 4th.
Posted Yesterday – GSW -8.0 @ $1.92 ***LOSS***
Leading by 35+ then went into coast mode, nearly ended up losing. Luckily I cashed out halfway thru the 4th when they were still up by 20 or so. Not like the Warriors to switch off like that btw!
Attila it’s a good lesson for all to see though.
warrior’s losing a fourth 1/4 by 41-18
so guys cover or cashout , changes in an instant
(Had that been a month ago I would have lost out. So glad my bookie is the 1st in Aus to offer cash out. Saved me a few times already!)
huggy, still a tough call between warriors and cavaliers. sometimes warriors go better sometimes cav
God knows how the warriors blew that handicap, last time i looked they were 26 up. Madness
Afternoon gents. Just on lunch. Huggy Pacers spread is -7 mate. Or atleast was when I last checked.
@ AD – Are you around mate? No Tennis tips from anyone and I was hoping to get on the Monte Carlo matches :-)
AD has been very quiet! I posted a treble on Sunday night, 1st two have won waiting on Shvedova today but apart from that nothing catches the eye
I’ve just done the following Treble with ‘rushed’ research, so no warranty if it fails :-)
– F Verdasco
– M Cilic
– B Tomic
TREBLE pays $6.20 (2.5 points)
Verdasco is great on Clay and beat Nadal only a few weeks ago, whereas Dimitrov has hit some poor form losing to much lesser opponents. Verdasco won their only other meeting on Clay and I think he’ll have too much for Dimitrov today.
Cilic is a short priced favourite for a reason here today and I think he can handle anything the German throws at hime.
As for my fellow Aussie, Bernard Tomic, he won the only other h2h on Clay between these 2 by 3-0 and he is in top form lately. He rarely gets beaten by opponents outside of the top 50 so im surprised he is the underdog today. Tomic should win this.
If anyone was on early enough to get on my Snooker tips, my $4.50 Single Mitch Mann just fought back from 0-3 to make it 2-3. Hope he keeps it up.
Davis & Dott in my Treble are both winning atm as well so all looking good so far!
Lads as in cricket if you look at expected team totals for top teams like cavs rockets warriors etc after game starts n they pull away they are often too low. Ive been doing thia the last month n the ht n ft points are nearly always exceeded. Dont do it for the average sides like magic etc
Sometimes in the last quarter a team lets up so last night I cashed out of cavs on 93
As for cricket esp 20/20 n 50odi the same applies. I usually do for big teams between 170 n 190 11/4 n over 190 13/10 in 20/20
Same in odis 250 to 280 11/4
Over 280 13/10
Not a great start for Verdasco with Dimitrov going a break up early…early days still tho.
Jordan, -9 on pacers @365
Christ, Verdasco had 3 break points and just couldnt get it, argh
Afternoon all. No SS tonight. I like the Pacers at home as they need to keep their hopes alive by finishing with a better record than the Nets but Washington have a big game against Cleveland tomorrow for seeds so may rest players.
Small stake on this.
Pacers -2.5 & Over 184 Total Points @ 4/5 @ 365
Think you are right Jordan… Very wary taking big spreads at this time.
Im actually liking the Over 208.0 total points for Raptors/Celtics match. And you know I hate the OVers just as much as you hate the Unders, lol.
Dimitrov has saved 8 break points in this set.. Verdasco keeps getting set point. Nail biting stuff!
VERDASCO BREAKS HIM FINALLY at the 10th Break Point! 1-1 now, going to a 3rd set, an upset on the cards :-)
hi attila you method of the free bet365 is wrong so dont do it :)
you will lose unless its a draw
Fishman I never posted anything about Bet365 free bet? Think you’ve got the wrong person mate, i dont even have a Bet365 account, lol
good someone with the same name posted a stupid bet today didnt want you to lose money
Tomic has just dropped from $2.10 to $1.65 in the last hour…wow.
I thought the bookies had it wrong by having him as underdog against a lesser opponent.
The Pacers winning margin between 1-10 of odds at 7/5 looks good to me with pad d ypower. What do you think guys?
tennis treble
cillic 2/5
puig 1/5
a.gonzalez 2/9
treble pays 1.05/1 @bet365
Great, same name as me posting rubbish, lol.
Verdasco gets beaten…just. Another 8 break points saved by Dimitrov. Relentless pressure by Verdasco… So close! Thats my Treble down :-( Awesome match to watch tho.
slim pickings tonight so small stakes for me , just gonna try and stay with pacers needing the win.
Huggy`s only bet
pacers ova 186 with the -3.5 on the spread
pays 1.21/1
sticking a tenner on the ht spread too , with pacers -4 and hoping wall doesn`t see the court for the wizards…
saving the coffers for playoffs , good luck guys.
where we all playing tonight with just the 3 games
Haha Huggy have you not seen my bet? Great minds.
Mine now pays EVS as the Pacer spread down to -7. Not fussed. Like you say save for the playoffs, or the 14 games tomorrow :P
mate not chasing a bet when one don`t stand ( ie houston yesterday ) always seems to bite you and end up apologizing a lot.
just 2 small bets to pass time in work and have a go tomorrow on the bigger card.
catch u tomorrow mate
my tennis treble looks good :) short odds I know but evens return is better than no return
cillic in trouble 2nd set
Tennis live
Puig should win the second set, but it’s only @1.15.
I backed her to win the first set @1.20 and she wins it easily 6- 2.
So if you want free money, go for it!
Thanks for the cavs ht huggy.
Been doing quite well on the ipl lately so thought i may aswell share my tips.
Tomorow im on rajastan royals at 10/11. Hopefully continue my good run.

Anyone fancy Monaco to beat Stan @ 21/10? Stan being the defending champ is all putting me off. Stan wobbly recently and Monacos show top form
I prefer to bet live Ad, then you can actually see them play and its easier to predict.
NBA
Pacers to win @1.30
Everyone thinks Pacers will win, right?
Cycling: Brabantse Pijl 2015
Match-ups:
GALLOPIN v Leukemans
FELLINE v Haas
Double @ 2.26 with 365 (also available at unibet and WH)
Brilliant stuff again lads!
wat was you on mitch ??
Smaller card and smaller stakes today.
Single: Celtics +1.5 at home against the Raptors @ 10/11
Will be a close game as Celtics will want to secure a playoff spot and Raptors want to improve their playoff position. I’m going for the home team advantage as the Celtics have been playing their best basketball lately.
Double:
– Pacers -4.5
– Clippers/Suns over 196.5
@ just over evens.
GL tonight!
F*uck me that raptors spread changed
Hadn’t had a chance to have a decent look today but I know they were +4 last night
Going half time full time on the pacers tonight not to much appeal on the price but nothing else stands out to me
Indiana Pacers ht/ft @ 10/13
AD – good to have you back how’s your luck been? Monaco been in top form could be worth an interest at decent odds, i was thinking of a Monfils Federer Berdych treble at around Evs?
Small funbet
Raptors ht celtics ft @ 9/2
Simple NBA Treble for me today:
– Raptors/Celtics Over 197.5
– Pacers ML
– Clippers ML
@ $1.93 (10 points)
Can’t see this losing tbh, but it is nba so anything possible!
Picksix re Raptors I know mate but that game is basically an exhibition for Boston but Toronto could go above Chicago for a 3rd seed if they win so probably why they are now favs. Clippers game changed too but don’t think they can their seed whatever results they get.
Lets go Pacers!
Picksix your gravatar isn’t a pick tut tut :D May I suggest Brent Grimes’ one handed pick against the Lions?
I know lol u gotta love that catch tho I have loads of gravatars of picks and catches that grimes one tho was quality quite simulair to Odell’s catch running backwards
U like my Troy polamalu one the legends finally retired
And Ye go pacers lol
Yeah the hair piece should go into the hof let alone Troy himself. Amazing catch mate, watched it live and lost my sh*t haha, might have to get an NFL one up myself when the football finishes but it will be none other than a Packers related one :)
Pacers over 52.5 half time team points is my bet for tonight although its slim pickings im only sticking a small stake on this pays evens @SkyBet
Haha I know mate can’t wait til it starts
U remember this one big moment
Aw my gravatar not changing Jordan u a packers fan
Yes mate. Only started following last season though so I’ve not got any A-Rod tattoos, yet…
Tracy porter picking of Peyton manning for a touchdown in Super Bowl
I’m a Hawks fan
Ahhh my good friend honda will be pleased to see he has another Seahawks fan on here. Some game that NFC Championship. Lucky sods ;)
Why are the Wizards going all out? There is nothing in this game for them?!
Brutal stuff n raptors now hv 1 point in past 7 minutes after 63 in 27 mins very odd
Hoping for a draw so this game goes to OT to bring up the over 197 points
Much better from the Pacers after halftime. Home court advantage should get em home?
Pacers ht/ft @ 10/13 **LOSE**
Raptors ht/celtics ft @ 9/2 ** WON**
Still a bit of profit but gutted I missed the raptors + 4 tbh aw well was always on small stakes tonight as everyone else seemed to be aswell on such a small card
Roll on tomorow $$$
So much for the Pacers win being a gimme. Still don’t know why Wizards are goin so hard, no rest for their stars yet.
Wtf? Set my alarm for the end of the Pacers game to see a f*cking football score with less than 10 points in OT? Well can’t see the bet winning but it’s still going. Just thought I’d say I’m getting on the Spurs -5 in New Orleans tomorrow night. Will be battling it out all the way with Houston/Clippers for second seed.
Spurs -5 @ 10/11 @ PP
Maybe it will win :D
Small stake on this.
Pacers -2.5 & Over 184 Total Points @ 4/5 @ 365 **WIN**
over 10.5 corners in the Madrid game and over 182.5 points in the Pacers game @ 6/5
The Pacers winning margin between 1-10 of odds at 7/5 looks good to me with pad d ypower. What do you think guys?
Double WIN, sweet :D
Wheeey a winner for Alty! Well done mate.
I know i can’t believe it, thought it was lost a long time ago..No moaning today haha. To be fair though they were based on your tip so thanks
alty that`s the way to play it , use our thoughts to create your bets , you`ll get more winners than losers , limited card and still winners posted by jordan , me and a 9/2 from picksix…..
No worries mate glad you got a couple winners.
