IT'S a pretty quiet Easter Monday after a super Sunday of sport but there's a full Super League card of bone-crunching action.
Table-stoppers Leeds Rhinos are expected to make mincemeat of bottom club Wakefield and are 10-11 at Betfair on the minus 34 point handicap.
Wigan's trip to Salford has the potential to be a cracker and the visitors are 4-7 at Paddy Power against bet365's 17-10 Reds.
The only game in the NBA should be a good one too with two high-flying teams – Portland Trailblazers and Brooklyn Nets – doing battle.
And the clay-court tennis season gets under way with the ATP Houston where the likes of Donald Young, Lleyton Hewitt and Samuel Groth are in first-round action.
In December 2020 we sadly 
201 seems low for Nets/Blazers am I right?
yes you are !!
It is lob city in LA!
Easter Monday Super league bets
There are still some markets in some fixtures not yet priced up, but here are a few bets I will be on, in a full house of action on Monday. There are two live games on SKY, Warrington face Castleford, while Catalan take on Widnes in the evening.
The biggest odds on shots today are Leeds. It is now 7 wins in 8 for the league leaders the Leeds Rhinos, after an impressive win on Good Friday over Castleford and with rumours of “Sir Kev” back for today things just got a whole lot worse for Wakefield.
Ryan Hall the England winger ended a run of 4 games without a try when he grabbed a brace on Good Friday to take his tally to 4 in 8 this season. He has scored in 6 of his last 6 league meetings with the wildcats, and while anytime is to short at 4/11 I will take him as part of my anytime try scorer double. Stand off Danny McGuire as started the season well with 6 tries, and he will be following his big pack up the middle of the park, I expect Danny to be on the shoulder of his forwards ready to receive offloads and pounce over the line. He is 10/11 Paddy Power.
Adam Cutherburtson is also a good price if he plays to score anytime, he as scored in all 3 games at Headingley this season and has 4 in 8 for the season, the big forward can power over from close range and is 5/2 at Bet365. (he is in the 19 man squad in which 17 will be selected)
One of the biggest mysteries so far of Super League is what as happened to Morgan Escare? A real speedster and a defensive nightmare when he links into attack, yet this season he, and the Dragons to be fair have flattered to deceive. Escare scored in both fixtures last season and in the previous year scored a hat trick against the Vikings. He is 8/13 Paddy Power, again that is a bit short so he completes my double with Hall which pays 6/5
Elliot Whitehead scored a hat trick in this fixture last year, he was very unlucky not to get a start in the England Rugby World cup team at the end of last year. He as bounced back this season with 5 tries in 8 games which is superb for a forward and I want to be with him at 6/4 Paddy Power.
In the opening live TV game, I expect Warrington to end a 3 game losing streak as they face Castleford. The quick turnaround over Easter favours the sides with strength in depth and the Wolves have that. I will be looking after lunch for some markets that are not up at this moment, but for a try scorer in this match I like the Centre Ryan Atkins. He hasn’t scored in his last 3 games all in which the Wolves lost. The tigers conceded tries to both Centre and Winger on Friday and their outside edge looked vulnerable. Atkins is 13/10 anytime with Paddy Power.
ANYTIME TRYSCORER DOUBLE
Hall (Leeds)
Escarce (Catalan) 5PM
6/5 Paddy Power
Singles
McGUIRE TO SCORE 10/11
CUTHBERTSON TO SCORE 5/2
WHITEHEAD TO SCORE 6/4 (5PM)
ATKINS TO SCORE 13/10
Good luck if your having a bet
Only the Cavs letting down a full house
Cavs – 8
10/11 **LOST**
Cavs highest scoring quater
Clippers highest scoring quate
Double 10/11 **WON**
Miami heat under 93.5 team points
20/23 **WON**
Only one game tomorow so might look at the player props
picksix , might try a treble one night on the highest scoring 1/4 , surely this market favours the form team…
Re-invented, just watched the UFC from last night. How controversial was that Iaquinta win hahaha, the judges must have seen my bet and fancied a stake on it! Bad of the crowd to boo though because he did have a better output and could have gone either way really. I’ll take it :)
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing Jordan as soon as it went to the judges I was positive masvidal had done enough, but not like I’m going to complain at all. Like he said though why boo me I worked my ass off, fine to boo the judges but not the fighters.
***POSTED YESTERDAY***
NBA SINGLE:
***WON*** – San Antonio Spurs -6.0 @ $1.92 (10.8 points)
***As predicted, Spurs flexed their muscles whilst Golden State basically chose to observe. Nice 10 points profit returns yesterday’s loss :-)
MLB results
Cardinals win 3-0
Cardinals ml @ 1.95 *WON*
Game total over 7 runs @ 2.0 *LOST*
Lester gave up all 3 runs in his 4 1/3 innings, he said after the game that he wasn’t really sharp. Never thought Cardinals would have a shutout though. Knew I should have just stuck to the ml. Oh well a small lose overall.
Probably won’t have time to look though the card today as it’s my daughter’s 6th birthday and I have a trampoline to build. But if I do get chance I’ll post later.
Good luck everyone.
results / few losses and picked the wrong 1 for the main bet..
EARLY THOUGHTS AS I TRY AND KEEP UP THE STREAK , 13 FROM 14 MAIN BETS AND SMALLER SECONDARY BET.
clippers -12.5 at lakers
cavs -8.5 home 2 bulls
PACERS -6 VS HEAT…
BUT… ended up in small profit for the 8th day in a row mainly due to joining jordan on the houston total and the small bet being on the pacers who crushed the heat ( or the luke warm ).
prop bets obviously should have been on the big boys who all performed again , harden westbrook wade leonard ..
only the one game tonight but it`s a quality game , post thoughts later.
WELL DONE TO ALL THE WINNERS , ATTILA ,JORDAN , ORIAZ…
think oriaz has hit a few in a row..
p.s btts double wat/middle + brad/preston
p.s yesterdays main bet could have been oh so different , look at the final 10 seconds , yes 10 bloody seconds lol
http://espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=400579440&period=4
Good call Attila on the Spurs, wasn’t on it cause I wasn’t convinced Warriors would just be watching.
Convincing win by the Clippers for nice profit last night.
——-
Posted yesterday:
My single for later is Clippers -12.5 against the Lakers.
** WON **
Cheers Huggy!
I watched the Cavs game too and they were clearly not thinking about us having money on them covering the spread lol.
I’ll check your opinion on tonight’s game cause at first glance nothing’s standing out for me.
oriaz , just think betting on the hoops gives more excitement and anything can happen in closing stages , think i`ll phone tristan and ask for my money back…
p.s 14/16 main bets / small bets isn`t that bad a strike rate , anything above 75% is gonna be decent profit.
Darts / Football 4fold, pays 4.3/1
Gilding 1/2
Ban der voort 1/2
Derby DNB 8/15
Bury 8/15
Huggy the team to score highest scoring quater is a good bet the one I done last night was a banker u usually have to double them up tho as the prices are not that great
Anyone know any sites wich offer the player props I fancy deron Williams to score a few tonite
mate we go with paddyp / b365 but they aren`t displayed till late
it seems tonight that portland are fielding a weakened side and only going to have small wager as its just the 1 game.
HUGGY`S main bet nets -6.5 (14 from 16) of late.
post a prop bet later for interest
So my double lost out by 4 points last night. Great 3rd quarter, but the last was a slow one in the GSW game (as predicted by a few in here) not to be!
Tonight I’m going for some MLB action:
WAS Nationals -1.5 @ 2.35
Haven’t had a chance to look at the NBA yet, but will more than likely just follow you guys.
Also having a small go on this mixed 4-fold (NBA, MLB, NHL)
Nets -6
OAK Athletics (ML)
WAS Nationals -1.5
Blue Jackets/Rangers – Under 5.5 match total
@ 13.5
pacers ml (inplay)
spurs ml
evens *won*
wish i played the spread but lumped on so played safe instead.
i fancy portland tonight, anyone know why they are huge underdogs?
Darts
Henderson vs dolan
Henderson at 6/5 is great value the way hes been playing in this tournement. To back up this point, henderson averaged 104 in the last round whilst dolan only 87.
Just a few props tonight. Small stakes.
Deron William (Nets) Over 7 Assists @ 5/6 @ PP
7 will get a push.
Joe Johnson Over (Nets) 13.5 Points @ 5/6 @ 365
Mlac, Aldridge won’t play for Portland. Their biggest points scorer.
Gonna take Brewers over 9.5 hits @ 1.95, game starts in 15 minutes so haven’t had chance to look at the later games yet
@jordon cheers, just seen batum rested as well withcouple of others.
still not confident enough to take the spread so added ML with
Man city dc
besiktas dc
Brooklyn nets ML
evens.

Glad to see many of us backing NETS here
smaller bet for tonight is brooklyn nets half-time spread at -3
I thought 201 was low but it’s now at 204. Rats. Do we think the Nets can muster up 105 on their own?
Picksix, PP are offering Williams Over 20 points and Nets to win @ 13/5
Also they have his points total @ 14.5 @ 5/6
Nets HT points could be a decent shout. Don’t seem to have the market up yet on Skybet, but usually set around 50. They’ve been really consistent for HT bets lately.
Boo MIL Brewers already have killed my Treble. ..
Thats strange, Skybet don’t have any markets for this one.
Now they have tomorrow’s Clippers game up, wonder if they’re not covering the Nets tonight. Annoying if that’s the case, love their HT markets.
Cheers Jordan i usually only use 365 hopefully they void the bet for me and I will bet it at paddys as u know that one point could make the difference
Cycling: Vuelta a Pais Vasco 2015
Stage 1 match-ups:
KWIATKOWSKI v Gallopin
FELLINE v Albasini
Double @ 2.35 with 365 WIN :)
What do you think about Roubaix, Mr.Orange? Terpstra has nice odds. I like Boom as well.
Gonna follow you guys with Nets -6.5, after checking team news they’re indeed without Battum, Kaman and Aldridge, also Mattews is questionnable.
Portland is also playing Minnesota next and will probably be more focused on that game.
Going small stakes tho as it’s not my pick and I don’t like not being able to choose between games as this is the only one tonight.
man city screwed my treble so now confident to take nets :D
nets -6 10/11
Spurs -5.5 in OKC tomorrow. :D
i`ll be with you their mate , they did this last year , seem to be able to turn form on and off..
leonard/westbrook i`ll be on them too
Just spoke to Skybet and the Nets game will be available within the next 10 mins. For anyone interested.
Think it goes under 216 too Huggy. Spurs won’t give them the points they’ve been scoring like everyone else. Might be a nice little double. Spreads up on PP.
Spurs -5.5 @ OKC
Heat -3 Home to Hornets
Hawks -9 Home to Suns
Warriors -4 @ Pelicans
Kings -10 Home to Timberwolves
Clippers -17 Home to Lakers (Although both are home).
reddevils> Boom looked very strong, if you see what he did on the flat parts in Flanders I will have some on him for sure. Terpstra on the podium looks like a great bet, 2nd in every race in Flanders and this one suits him even better. I think we will see Stannard as well.
Why couldn’t you play like this in the 1st quarter nets when i had you for -1.5 for that quarter
Williams points in the first half :) cheers picksix.
Deron Williams over 14.5 @ 5/6 is a winner but can’t claim it as my own. Hoping he can get 6 more.
brooklyn nets half time spread – 3 . scraped home 54 – 38
WINNER !!!
Deron my man
Deron Williams over 14.5 points 5/6 **WON**
In before halftime
Just the way sometimes. Joe Johnson 0/7, thought Lopez’ were a bit high and thought Williams would be focusing on the dishes. 6 at the moment so one more for a push. So it was between Young and Johnson on the points. Picked Johnson for his 3 ability :(
Deron William (Nets) Over 7 Assists @ 5/6 @ PP **WIN** 8 in the third
This isn’t winning though.
Joe Johnson Over (Nets) 13.5 Points @ 5/6 @ 365 **LOSE** Zilch in the third and can’t see him having a 14 point quarter.
Can’t make my luck up! 1st quarter i go for nets -1.5, 2nd quarter i go for over 50.5 quarter total, 3rd quarter i go for over 49.5 quarter total, 4th quarter replace house with nice cardboard box
Hoping the miss called 3 isn’t the deciding point on the spread lol
Christ Joe Johnson scores finally haha, little too late. My William/Nets Wincast is looking beauuuutiful though. Nets could go over 105 which I fancied but none of you kind souls said anything.
KEEP FOULING JOHNSON HAHAHA
Well done tonite boys looks like we all had a decent night
Jordan I didn’t jump on the wincast good shout tho
‘I thought 201 was low but it’s now at 204. Rats. Do we think the Nets can muster up 105 on their own?’ Well I did but nothing from my fellow friends made me leave it haha
Deron William (Nets) Over 7 Assists @ 5/6 @ PP **WIN** 8 in the third
Joe Johnson Over (Nets) 13.5 Points @ 5/6 @ 365 **LOSE** 6
Picksix, PP are offering Williams Over 20 points and Nets to win @ 13/5 **WIN** :)
Also they have his points total @ 14.5 @ 5/6 **WIN**
Both thanks to Picksix on the Williams bets. Cheers boss. Cheers Huggy on the -6.5. Wish there was 1 game every night :D
excuse me !!! Jordan , I refer you 2 my reply.
p.s MAIN BET NETS -6 = WINNER !!!
I meant I agreed with total over 201.
would have been yet another winner
williams and nets was a great shout.
well done mate
Picksix I took the Nets -6.5 from Huggy mate. Think he posted first but I know there were a few on.
I meant Huggy! Huggy, read my bottom sentence. ‘Both thanks to Picksix on the Williams bets. Cheers boss. Cheers HUGGY on the -6.5. Wish there was 1 game every night :D’
Wats ure thoughts tomorow guys the Spurs -5.5 sound to good to be true
Also the halftime full time looks good at 5/6
The Spurs always start well and finish well will have a better look tomorow
Picksix. Check the new thread you’ll be pleasantly surprised ;)
