THE World Championship first-round action continues on Monday with Ding Junhui beginning his bid to reach his first Crucible final.
The Chinese cueman is 4-9 at Paddy Power to make it past Mark Davis of Northern Ireland, who trails 6-2 in the pair's head-to-head and is chalked up at 9-4 by Coral.
Barry Hawkins and Neil Robertson both have commanding leads in their matches and will look to get the job done with minimum fuss while Stuart Bingham gets under way against Robbie Williams and Ali Carter and Alan McManus begin their battle.
Tennis world No.1 Novak Djokovic made it three titles in a row on Sunday at the Monte Carlo Masters and with the Serb sitting out the Barcelona Open at least someone else will get to lift a trophy.
Rafa Nadal is title favourite at 5-4 with BetVictor as he goes for glory in his homeland followed by Kei Nishikori (7-2, Paddy Power) and another Spaniard, David Ferrer at 8s with William Hill.
Monday also sees the likes of NBA play-off action plus NHL and MLB matches so post your tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.
huggy`s main bet
pelicans / warriors ova 196
bucks / bulls ova 179
celtics / cavs ova 196
pays 1.90/1
Final game lands so its a 1.90/1 WINNER !!!!
Huggy`s Main bet tonight ( CHANGED FROM CELTICS +11.5 )TO
Grizzlies -4.5
100 – 86 so its a WINNER !!!!
JUST TO SHOW OFF A BIT , I KNOW KNOBHEAD
“also think fanatic home crowd will motivate a hawks home court win , thinking they`ll be 7/8 points better but thats guesswork ” 99 – 92 LOL…
Well done Huggy great tipping..great weekend.
I knew I should have left the last game alone, was too close to call, still nice profit for the day thanks guys
MONDAY NRL TIP (kicks off in 1 hour):
– South Sydney Rabbitohs -1.5 & Under 38.5 points @ $1.91 (5 points)
Heavy rain in Cronulla so the under is the play (line has dropped from 38.5 to 30.0 in last 2 hours) but I’m Ayung the Doubles markets to get some value.
Rabbitohs will bounce back from a hard loss last week against the Cowboys. It will be a wet and muddy show today but with Cronulla missing Paul Gallen + the 2 Fifita brothers I think Rabbits will win in a low scoring and scrap affair.
*playing the doubles markets
(Testing)
**Posted Yesterday**
**Lost** – Boston Celtics +11.5 @ $1.92
A missed easy layup shot by Celtics in last 4 seconds downed the bet as the Cavs won by 13. So close! I’d rather lose by 10 baskets than a missed basket on the buzzer…
ATTILA , was gutted for you , horrible when the nights main bet dies in that fashion.
but your 185/1 is gonna pay for all your play-offs .
so good luck tonight
and mate i bet loads of silly bets i dont post , but like you the main bet is the only one that matters. i never bet ££££ hundreds inplay or props , just for fun.
Huggy mate, you forgot to post your loss for the Spurs/Clippers game :-P
I don’t know too much about the NRL Atilla but I’ll have a go on that
Good stuff Conor, hope it comes in for ya! H2H is always tight low scoring games between these 2 teams. With the heavy rain I think they’ll be lucky to get past 30 points. Rabbitohs are a much better team (reigning Premiers) and should have the edge (although it is a Derby match so might go very close)
I seen its raining heavily in Sydney. Isn’t the Rabbitohs packer and crowes team?? I’m in Perth btw Atilla, seen a while back you said you were in Australia I’m sure you also use Sportsbet, as do I haha. Bet sounds good mate
well done mr orange, great stuff again on the old bikes!
Great stuff last night guys! Nice to see the playoff’s delivering for the thread.
Nice picks Jordan/Huggy/Picksix and others who are joining the fun! Unlucky Attila (but glad you didn’t get it as I had Cavs -11.5 myself).
Two games tonight, and here’s my early thoughts (not tips) :
Bucks @ Bulls : Bulls had a convincing 1st win but they we’re helped by the Bucks missing a lot of throws. The game was closer than the score suggests in my opinion. Bulls spread for tonight is at -7.5 and although I think they’ll win again, will they cover the spread? I might go for the total here and go over 187.5 pts.
Pelicans @ Warriors : Warriors spread is at -11.5, I think they’ll cover and win the second leg. I also like the total to go over 205 pts. Pelicans were asleep during the 1st quarter of the 1st game and I expect them to correct that in the 2nd leg.
Will keep an eye on team news and post something later.

Posted yesterday:
I agree with Huggy on Grizzlies -4.5 and that’s also my single for later. *** WIN ***
Conor, yeh mate I use Sportsbet. Gale force winds in Cronulla, torrential rain. Rabbitohs down 10-4, but they were against the gale force in the 1st half. They be running with the wind in the 2nd half and I think they’re still going to win the match.
BTW – are you from Ireland mate?
Yeah seen they were still the favourites even though there down, hopefully can turn it around 2nd half. I was born in Glasgow Atilla mate, half Irish on my mums side. But have grown up in Australia.

Can’t believe the Sharks beat the Rabbitohs. Sorry Conor. I should have just gone with the UNDERS!
BRILLIANT TIPPING LADS, on the NBA. Many thanks and keep up the great work. All for one and one for all, to beat the bookies, ;-]
All good Attila, onto the next one mate! :)
Just hope the splash brothers can hit the free throws Tues morning as I think I’ll be on player props if they’re not too high. I’m off Tuesday and Wednesday so I’ll get to watch some games.
Can’t believe how many free throws were missed by both Clippers and Spurs. Only about 50% for the night…shocking!
NBA PLAY-OFFS TIP FOR 20/05/14:
– Chicago Bulls -3.5
– Golden State Warriors -7.5
DOUBLE pays $2.05 (10 points)
Both the Pelicans and the Bucks picked up a couple of injuries in their 1st playoff matches. I think that both those teams have already given as best as they are going to give on the road in this series, and these 2nd round games will go the way of the home sides again. Instead of parlaying the 2 together with the full spreads (i did consider it, pays $3.68), but the Double posted carries a lot less risk so i’m willing to go a full 10 points on it. GL if you follow!
Thanks upswing! I was at the race yesterday and had not time to post the result on here. But it won quite easy, Martin was with the first group, Poels didn’t finish. Felline was with the second group and Wegmann finished 7 minutes behind him. Costa was 4th and Cunego 40th.
Cycling: Amstel Gold Race 2015 result

DANIEL MARTIN v Poels
FELLINE v Wegmann

GOing on spread in play at 11/4 n higher spread at 13/10
Almost guarentees profit as these two are fond of 6s
ATP Barcelona Open:
– Matosevic to Win @ $3.37
No idea why the bookies have Granollers as such a short priced favourite. I think this match is a 50/50 and could go either way. Matosevic is ranked 79, Granollers at 63 but both players are in bad form.
These 2 played back in February and on that occasion Matosevic won 2-0. That was on hard court, whilst today is on clay. Granollers is considered a clay ‘specialist’, but with both of these guys only winning about 30% of their matches over the past few months i’m going to take the value on offer with Matosevic!
Haha trying the ways of Jordan tonight Attila? Good luck mate.
Jordan, ah yeah, lol. Look, I like the Bulls -7.5 and GSW -11.5 and think they’ll both win (if I was pushed for a SINGLE, i’d go with Bulls -7.5 again). But after that buzzer buster yesterday I want to get my 10 points back, lol.
You were unlucky on the Celtics mate. Not only did they miss a 3 but they also the board and the next shot after it.
Got the board*
Great, Granollers decides to remember how to play Tennis finally…he was just waiting for me to BET AGAINST HIM first, argh. Matosevic down 0-3 in the 1st set…
Fights back to 2-3, still a break down though. Gonna be a long match. Is anyone on it?
Yes Atilla got on him @ 3.45, so he may get that break back sharpish!
Yes Atilla got on him @ 3.45, so he may get that break back sharpish!
More chance of me flying over to Oz on a pigs back than him winning this one, have already written it off as a loss, trying to find a bet when nothing catches my eye is my problem half the time, if its not there dont look for it i suppose is the lesson here!
Matosevic never focused again after failing to get that 2nd break back in the 1st set. Sorry Juan. I saw the value in him, seeming he beat Granollers 2-0 only 2 months ago. I guess lesson learnt, never bet on Matosevic on Clay!
Hold the phone, Matosevic breathes life again, haha, he’s a mad dog!

waiting on bulls minus 7.5 for a good tbl worth a few quid had clippers minus 1.5 last night so waiting on bulls any thaughts abt a cover wd b appreciated thanx
soz ment t say dbl
Maxi, Bucks +7.5 but it’s not good cover. I imagine in play will be your best bet if you want to risk it.
attila , yeah did lose on the spurs last night but was on an optimistic shout of spurs to win 1st game and series , so was only a small bet .
Got dis frm SBR… I feel it may help wit your form:::
LA angels win
Mariners over 6.5
Cubs under 9.5
Tigers +1.5 win
Ur thots…
Anasewhiz, don’t use SBR for tips. Nobody on that site is as good as the next yank who watches NBA, NFL or MLB. Me and huggy have backed against them and won on plenty of occasions.
Sweet, won back todays earlier losses on a Double of Gabashvili & Youzhny in the Tennis which paid $3.50.
(sorry i didnt post it…after 3 losses on the trot I didn’t want to lose anyone anymore money).
attila no apology necessary , our choice to follow , good win though and glad u won it back , I just don’t enjoy tennis betting.
look later for my main bet
Anasewhiz they are all very possible and the prices reflect that.
You couldn’t get the cubs game under 9.5 on bet365, so the odds on that one must be around 1.15-1.2.
Tigers +1.5 @ 1.5 should be a gimme but Simons doesn’t have a good record against the Yankees, he’s a career 0-3 with an ERA of 5.57.
I put Angels to win for reasons on my blog.
Mariners game over 6.5 @ 1.48 should be another gimme too but I went with the hits market as per blog. Obviously if they get the hits they will definitely get the runs.
On with you tonight Jordan with your EVS treble and awaiting Huggys main bet too.
Also went warriors-8 bulls-4 pays 6/5
Heres hoping guys:)

Realwalker good luck mate.
On the main treble jordon, had to take gsw and cavs -4.5 as sky are being tight as usual.
Got to say thanks to you, huggy and attila.. Awesome nba tips
No worries Ket mate. My advice to you would be open up a 365 and PP account. Definitely the two best bookies for NBA.
HUGGY`S MAIN BET .
first play-off main bets landed , lets go for number 4
gonna stay with the bulls and back them -8 , just has the edge on the ova 205 in pelicans warriors game for me.
as theres only the 2 games , gonna have small fun bets on
gsw / pelicans ova 101 ht total and stephen curry ova 26.5 points
GOOD LUCK AND NO BITCHING TONIGHT GUYS , cover don`t cover the choice is yours…. personally i don`t but each to their own.
Any tips for a rolling acca today, NBA wise?
Was thinking Bulls -2.5?
Bulls ML decent enough price tom in my eyes
I’m thinking of this treble – GSW/NOP ht total over 99.5 and Bulls winning in normal time @ evens. Wonder which one will let me down, i’m guessing the half time one
Prop Bet.
Andrew Bogut (GSW) Over 8 Rebounds @ EVS @ PP
Sh*t my bad. That’s his points. Rebounds at 8.5. Possible but I’d rather have the push factor.
@Jordan @huggybear.. Wat is the in-play bet ?
Probably nothing on the Bulls game mate. Will see how well the Warriors are playing before any in plays.
Roger dat CHIEF
Gut feeling warriors’ game might go under
Feelings never go away
Jordan, cant believe it wasnt Springsteens version you put up on the footie thread, top tipster but seriously doubting your musical tastes :)
Realwalker, gimme a break I’m 26 hahaha, prefer this version if I’m honest. That and Blow is one of my favourite films of all time.
What age do you think I am lol, great music knows no age limit :)
On Huggys bulls bet now and thatll do me for the night
Thanks again guys, hopefully another great night.
bulls price not good enough on the single so adding GS
And of course my fave type of bet
Chicago Bulls ht/ft
GS Warriors ht/ft
Double @ 11/10
Well done last night to all some brilliant picks
Bulls warriors or were all screwed
26 , barely remember being 26
Hahaha realwalker no idea mate! Wouldn’t like to offend you with a guess either. Huggy 26 going on 60 mate. My back is f*cked haha
Just to show you my the range my jukebox goes to. A 1977 rock classic to a 1997 rap classic. Basketball theme of course :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSgOeiBUqrI
Huggy – good to see you are thinking same as me with the Bulls -8. I mentioned earlier that was my bet if pushed for a single, but in sticking with my safe double for now.
To be honest, I always have a flutter with some low stakes exotics as well but Rarely post them…I’m mainly concerned with my single/main bet (damn celtics!)
You are right though, my winnings from my 185/1 are still there, but unlike every other time I’ve had a big win, I’m determined to stay disciplines and NOT HAND IT BACK this time :-)
(I’m 32 by the way, don’t even remember what it felt like being 26, haha)
confidence bites us on the arse , but surely bulls are a class above the bucks.
don`t give it back , level stakes mates , i tried upping it and it buried me
A mixture of Huggy/Jordans picks and also on Picsix ht/ft double to hopefully keep the pot growing. GL lads.
I asked Mrs Lettuce for a number ..she said 7.
So here goes a number 7 pick.
NBA Lettuce Golden Leaf Longshot
Bulls -7.5
Bulls v Bucks under 197
Pelicans +17.5
Pelicans v Warriors over 207.
6.2/1 bet365
hell of a system
Wat a cracking game I jumped on ova 64
anyone know a WINNER !!!!
OH YEAH THAT HUGGYBEAR
he’s good £££££££££
boooooooom !!!
https://youtu.be/vyeKAkMwCpw
A top tune and quite apt. Ha
32 years young Attila!
Wetveg am I being dumb? What has the number 7 got to do with it?
Jordan..its a small fun bet they. All contain number 7..thats it lol
Oh, I was being dumb then hahaha
I am meant to be the cabbage ha ha
Can someone tell these teams the idea is to get the ball in the hoop
These guys are craop.
GSW 116-104 later on so on ht over 101 as well huggy.
Haha matty, both good defensively but I don’t think defence has much to do with this. Might get on the 2nd half total if its around 100 but it’ll probably be 50 at this rate.
Any one would be good defensively against this shooting lol
Makes you appreciate the skill of the high scoring teams when you watch games like this
I know mate. Just goes to show what the East is like compared to all the high scoring West teams. Total for 2nd half is 94.5 but that second quarter saw 50. No in play on this for me.
Jimmy Buckets is cookin!!
Just woke up
Damn you sleep :)
What have I missed lads?
Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa :) :) :)
Ye ha
Thought it was gonna end up losing by a point, loved to see them just stop playing last 15 seconds with the Bulls up by 9, Ive found my new home and what a great place it is.
Cheers guys.
guys trust that huggybear , he’s one jammy git lol
ker- ching
realwalker my mate needed a 2 for 40 seconds for a big the win. score was something like
103 – 91
they spent the remaining time walking around the around the court shaking hands.
he was a bit annoyed…
works both ways
Well done lads!!
Realwalker. Welcome to the winners thread haha
yuuum right jordan , home 2 the winners.
4 from 4 main bets
gsw gsw gsw cuuuuummm on
Cheers for the tips again guys, jordan huggy etc you guys are making a killing on the nba! really surprised how profitable this is compared to the footy. I have taken the GSW with you guys and also added the cavs, good luck! Hope i wake up to some winners thanks to you guys:D
I’m thrilled for everyone mate. Time and time again I said wait for the playoffs and it’ll be monaaaaaaay!
Thank you Jordan Dont know why it took me so long to visit but thats me here for good
Need the warriors by 9 for a perfect night :)
Huggy, ive not got a complete record of your tips but what ive seen back n forth is an incredible percentage of wins on what is a 50/50 field.
Ive a feeling this ones going to the wire
Ill keep checking in to see if you guys fancy any inplays
You know ill be with you even if you go under 10 2nd quarter lol
Brutal first 1/4 but they’re called the Warriors for a reason :D
I know a good web site … and I guess well !!!
Great call Huggy on overs HT points at GSW! I had 2.5 points on it. Got another 2.5 on Curry overs as well. He’s already halfway there so looks like another great shout mate.
Daamm curry my boy
ova 101 ht points pelicans/ gsw anyone ?
coz it’s a WINNER !!!!
love that website ay jordan
We’re back in business! 38 point quarter for the Warriors. Lead by 3 at HT.
bet u was worried !!!
Huggy you pulling my leg!? No way SBR tipped a market like that?
Just want to advise everyone that it’s not always this successful. Myself and Huggy ha a shocking month or so not too long ago where we couldn’t pick a winner. All I can sayi is, LEVEL STAKES! Then you won’t get bitten when games start going against form.
Hard to call an in play with the Warriors poor 1st quarter but I like Over 53 Total 3rd Quarter Points @ 17/20 @ WillHill
Small bet.
Bogut has 6 rebounds in the first half so would have needed 3 for the prop. Damn you PP!
Draymond Green was second favourite for the total at a measly 12.5. On 9.
Huggy, the Warriors never worry me ;)
They are finally the favourites on bookmakers odds for the championship. Took them long enough.
me . wind up . as if
attila wise words…
jordan sbr tipped under 205 , we’ll see
10 more curry points and its a FULL HOUSE…
Over confidence from a winning streak has burnt me many times…
I’d say its always this successful Attila. Had a bad week every now and then but noway I’ve lost over a month on basketball.
attila we just CAN’T lose…
If they tipped under they need to shut down their website hahaha
Picksix your ht/ft double is looking good.
Both Warriors and Bulls (just) sneaked a ht lead..cmon the Warriors.
Wetveg if you took it you can cover on the Pelicans to win outright ;)
how lucky is the number 7 ??
I remember a few times you saying that you were just going to follow me when you had a couple bad days. Level stakes level schmakes, its all about the confidence :D That’s what the martingale system is for haha
Bogut 8 boards in the first minute of the 3rd. Sakes…
Don’t want to jinx anything but it’s looking good for all of us at the moment. Shoot me down if we lose haha
Altys double won
Picksixs double has cover at 10/1 or better
Wetvegs supreme 7 sizzler could also be landing
Fingers crossed for your double too Attila
Oh, and Curry’s points for the hugmeister!
Swear they should be called the New Orleans Aliens. Bunch of ugly b*stards.
Hard to call an in play with the Warriors poor 1st quarter but I like Over 53 Total 3rd Quarter Points @ 17/20 @ WillHill
Small bet. **LOSE**
Well done Attila, Picksix and realwalker! The run continues.
