IT was Monte Carlo and bust for defending champ Novak Djokovic yesterday as the world No.1 crashed to an almighty shock.
Djokovic – who has won nine of his past 10 tournaments and was on a 22-match Masters winning streak – was humbled by world No.50 Jiri Vesely who beat a top-10 player for the first time.
The Serb's exit is good news for world No.2 Andy Murray who now finds himself cut to 11-2 at Unibet, tucked in behind new joint title favourites Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer (7-2, Skybet).
Murray takes on Frenchman Benoit Paire in round three today while Nadal faces Dominic Thiem and Federer tackles Roberto Bautista-Agut.
Elswhere today there's Super League action – St Helens v Catalan – plus a big night of Premier League darts among the sporting highlights so let's hear all your tips and chat and good luck with your bets.

Arite huggy. I’m on bet 365 and I can’t find a bet for kobe. Is it just certain bookies?
Kobe points rebounds assists are on 365
Got it mate, cheers
Magic are MAGIC …
OVER 101.5 ( 103 )
WINNER !!!
AND BOSTON ARE GETTING THERE ..
KING KOBE FOR A GREAT NIGHT…
Celtics double
Winner!!!
Hawks? More like blue tits.
Swear to god I am not touching the East bracket once during these playoffs. Lost count the amount of times an East team has done in a bet when they’re 1/5 to win.
Favors out so bet void in LA. Hayward prob be good for his PR&A as I posted but too late now.
To watch GSW go for the record or Kobe’s last game? Decisions, decisions…
Warriors ?
Nice double Huggy. What is it with you and those Magic? Playing for zilch tonight too ya jammy sod :)
Best price for Warriors on standard bookmakers are 8/11 @ William Hill, or you can back them on Betfair Exchange. Few decent prices floating about. Currently £195 unmatched @ 1.91, £272 @ 1.90 and £42 @ 1.92. Still excellent odds imo. And @huggybear518 ;)
Curry 5-6 from three, 4 minutes left in the 1st…
?
Warriors are going to net me just under 4 ..
They are still a gift at 8/11
Magic have served me well.last 2 outings.. luck for sure
AND GO KING KOBE !!!!
Boooooooom !!!!
Kobe played 20 mins PR AND A 30+
£85 NAP WINNER !!!
He only got 60 lol
Lol Huggy. Kobe scraping the 29 PR&A then :D Nice one mate.
Cheers mate.. last nba game ever
He was gonna shoot every bucket…
Hence my NAP
bring on the pay-offs
Yeah I did like the look mate but it was a horrible price. I’m honestly tempted to just skip the playoffs. £550 on the Warriors and it just seems weird to be losing money along the way then hoping they eventually win.
To be honest even though the price is shortening all the time, I’m tempted not to back anything in the playoffs but just keep drip feeding money onto the Warriors. Barring injuries they should keep shortening meaning once they get to the conference finals there should be cover available by laying on the exchanges
A wise choice mate but I think I’ve got enough on them.
Saying that, they are back up to 77/100 @ Marathon Bet so I’m putting 5 points there just to round off the big 60 ?
Yeah I haven’t got on as much as you. I put £190 on them on the exchange this morning and got 1.86 matched pretty quickly. Had it at 1.9 for a while but no-one took it and didn’t want to wait because think the prices will just keep dropping. Even at 1.86 with the commission still works out better value than the fixed odds bookies. We all have such a chunk on them, just need them to do the business now. All those huggy £5 funbets need to be settled too!! haha
What commission do they charge on there?
Haha I’d hate to see how many outstanding bets Huggy has in his account with the Warriors at the mo!
5% I think, which gets discounted the more you use it. As I don’t do a lot on the exchange it would be 5% for me. So £100 @ 1.86 returns £186, less 5% of the winnings is £181.70 so still better than the fixed odds available.

Highlights from Kobe’s final game.
Lions vs suprrgiants

@paddy
Not a tip jus a thought, thiem looks huge today @2/1 vs nadal.
Downtoon who u favour in todays ipl game coin toss I know but any thoughts ?
No bet on match winner for me. Like you say, flip the coin.
2 new franchises, both with massive wins in first game so difficult to read any form. Talent in both squads.
Hardest thing to assess if the wicket, rajkot is an unknown quantity in the ipl. From hosting other t20 matches, it usually brings runs but with it being the first game there in the ipl the wicket could be a bit lively so not as spin friendly as some might think.
If I had to go with one – Gujarat.
Should be a decent match and likely to boil down to whoever adapts to the conditions and whose stars turn up.
GL
Wow 16 break points for thiem in the 1st set and could only take 1
Thx downtoon great write up will back bravo and rayane and maybe an outright I play bet?
after a shock defeat seeing djokovic go out of the tournament yesterday all the favs are going strong today so no doubt some people are making the cash on the tennis I have

Whoa…
Carson Wentz is going off the board first…
Carson Wentz is going off the board first…
Stunning piece of business there mate! 6 picks in the top 76 is massive. The AFC South is going to be interesting!
Agree building around mariota I think or do u think they take another QB . Afc south could be tough this year jags don’t laugh will improve Texans D is jj watt and friends and Andrew luck at colts and now titans with all them picks .?
Na they won’t take another QB. They’ll likely still get a decent pass protector at 15, but it gives them so many more options to build their team. They were in serious need of defensive depth, and now they’ll have it.
