THE NBA play-off push continues on Wednesday night and Boston Celtics are in a perilous position with just a week to go.
Celtics occupy the final spot in the Eastern Conference after three wins from four but face a tough run-in including tonight's trip to a Detroit Pistons side gunning for a sixth successive home victory.
Bookies expect a tight encounter and Pistons are slight favourites at 5-6 with Skybet, who make the Celtics evens.
One of the teams breathing down Boston's neck in the play-off race, Indiana Pacers, go looking for victory at New York Knicks tonight and there's plenty more action in a packed fixture list.
At the WTA tennis in Charleston top seed Eugenie Bouchard is 2-7 at Paddy Power in her second-round match against Lauren Davis, the 3-1 underdog at Betway.
There's also ATP matches throughout the day from Europe and America while other sporting highlights include IPL cricket and stage three of cycling's Vuelta a Pais Vasco.
who didn’t win money on the spurs ?
I’m going to say nobody :D
The Warriors look to have done me out of the 57/10 too. Never mind. Main Bet WINNER, Under WINNER, Double WINNER.
CHICKEN DINNER :D
spurs / houston .
ALL ABOARD THE MONEY TRAIN ???
Small investment in today’s tennis – Giorgi Zvonareva Stephens – treble pays over 2/1 – good luck everyone!
Thanks for NBA tips guys, top drawer as usual
I had a bad day up until spurs last night ;) nice one Jordan you legend
IPL 8 TIPS – DAY 1
Hi and unfortunately for you lot I’m back with my tips. Just to give you a quick indication of how I’ll do this I will post at least one tip for the IPL each day on a points system between 1 and 5…. 1 point being a “tip” and 5 being a “solid bet”. I’ll have ups and I’ll have downs but ultimately I’m here to try and make you some money. I’m always open to discussion and hopefully Harry , wet lettuce and various others will be up for some nice gambles and some help in my direction.
Day 1 – Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians
The start of the 2015 IPL sees defending champions Kolkata take on the all round unit of the Mumbai Indians.
Kolkata would have been my last choice for winners last year and I genuinely was shocked with how well they equipt themselves to the IPL. They possess a high quality bowling unit with players such as Sunil Narine and Umesh Yadav who game by game last season bowled teams out for below par totals, allowing them to win games chasing low scores.
I really don’t rate there batting line up starring and led by Robin Uthappa and Gautum Gambhir but the bowlers simply providing them with quite nice totals to chase. Regularly the Knight riders lost easy wickets and Uthappa guided his team to the win last year.
Although Mumbai didn’t have the best of IPL’s last year they came good at the end of the season, boasting the best record for the second half of the season and remarkably made the playoffs having been bottom at the mid-way stage.
Mumbai host a number of “power batsman” including Lendl Simmons, Kieron Pollard and Corey Anderson. The addition of Aaron Finch has only gone and added extra power and strength to the line up which wasn’t always reliable last season. The bowlers aren’t too shabby either with Lasith Malinga leading the consistent line up.
My verdict on this nervy, opening game is that if the power batsman for Mumbai bat sensibly they could post a total which would be too hard to chase as I don’t really see the Kolkata line-up a high enough quality to chase a 160+ score on this ground. The line up for Mumbai is capable of batting well providing they play the right shots against the Kolkata bowlers and do not lose silly wickets (Narine was crucial in taking constant wickets in his spells last year)
It’s the first game and I really think that at 11/10 Mumbai are worth a punt. It’s also a good indicator for us to see whether Kolkata look a good outfit and a backable team for the rest of the season.
Recommended Tip
—————————————–
Mumbai Indians to win vs Kolkata Knight Riders 11/10 William Hill (2 pts)
Wouldn’t advise high stakes but worth a punt

Mr orange ur cycling bets are brilliant but slightly misleading they are 0.95 on bet365 not 1.95
1.95 = Decimal odds
0.95/1 = Fractional odds
Good stuff Jordan! Spurs are really on fire.
I went to sleep at half-time between Warriors/Pelicans thinking Warriors were not gonna let this one go (and didn’t cover), but the Pelican’s 3rd quarter decided it otherwise.
Plenty of games tonight!

Juan,

A treble to lick your lips at (hopefully).

Mavericks -1.5

12/10 @ 365.
Same stake on this as the Spurs -5.5 bet. That’ll be me. Good luck lads.
Small go on Berlocq in play to beat almagro @ 6/1
I fancy Bouchard/stephens/ bencic all to win. Not sure whether to them all at 2.57 or do some doubles. Stephens probably the riskiest of the three but should be too good with confidence restored

I’m looking at the celtics tonight I know they are the most unreliable team to bet on because you don’t know wat you are gonna get with them
More ore less an instinct when I saw it will post final thoughts later
Bencic lost the second set, Ad. Kovinic is playing really well, she might lose this one!
Picksix a brave choice but one that may pay off. Spread is so low as it’s more or less a 50/50 but Detroit are playing well too. Reason I’ve left it. Good luck mate.
Kovinic is one to watch guys, impressive win!
Greg Monroe back for Detroit too so they are more or less back to health on the starters front minus Jennings.
No props tonight so I’ll chuck in a Lettuce Longshot for a £10 stake.

Sometimes shit happens in cycling. Massive crash in the last kilometer, about 40 riders hit the ground including Viviani and Bennett (taken away by ambulance). Theuns finished second in a sprint of a small group. No idea where Mareczko finished, but I see Chicchi already has crossed the line.

Only taking tips from this thread now, hope i dont jinx it.
Went on double of spurs and wizards.
Are there any teams named after bunnies in American sports?
Bouchard is losing as well, what is going on here today.. I hope I don’t ruin your NBA bets, guys. I’m on Spurs now to make up for the tennis.
Bunnies? As in rabbits? Not that I’m aware of. Wouldn’t fancy going up against the Brooklyn Bunnies every week. Sounds menacing :D
The Masters
Henrik Stenson outright
22/1 EW
Jimmy Walker outright
22/1 EW
Lee Westwood top 10 finish

Jim Furyk top 20 finish

Well I’m going spurs and wizards to beat the spread with bulls and mavericks money line for a tasty 4.85/1 @bet365 also on Spurs -5.5 5/6 @bet365 courtesy of Jordan. Good luck all.
Posting late again (quite busy the last few days).
Agree with Jordan and Picksix.

Also a little 5-fold:
– Spurs ML

– Bulls ML
– Bucks/Cavs over 186.6
– Nuggets -2.5
Pays 16/5
Well that’s gotta be the worst treble ive ever posted! Bencicc, stephens and bouchard all getting gazzzumped. A timely reminder to avoid short priced faves, especially women
Take a bow eugenie bouchard if it was ever more obvious of a non tryin.
Terrible from prof sportswomen.
Hahahahha brooklyn bunnies
Real walker I’m guessing ure a rabbitohs fan
We’re all on jordans pick I see guys.
go s antonio !!!
NBA SUPER SINGLE:
– Houston Rockets +6.0 @ $1.92
Potential let down spot for Spurs in this back to back for them, whilst Rockets are well rested. I think Rockets win outright as underdog to send a message to western conference.
Not me Huggy! Don’t know why everyone is writing the rockets off to be honest…
tell u in 4 hours
Attila…the Spurs starters sat for the last quarter and a half basically. None played over 30 mins.
Dont think fatigue will be a factor.
LOL Huggy – we’ll see ;-)
@Harry, how many points are you putting on your Golf picks? Just wondering how much I’d stake and how many points.
Bit of competition on the picks tonight lol
I fancy the Spurs to win but I also fear the beard so I’m staying away from that game
I realise the abuse im going to cop for tipping the Rockets at the line, lol, but Houston is really on a mission to get that #2 spot in Western Conference and winning today will basically sew that up for them. Throw in James ‘the beard’ Harden who is going for MVP bigtime. I just dont think the Spurs will be able to limit the Rockets scoring.
Whilst i think they’ll win outright, obviously there’s a good chance Spurs may still win, which is why ive tipped the +6.0 :-)
I am with attilla he is usually god
That was meant to say GOOD. James harden is a points machine and I won on Spurs last night, hopefully this one will go the other way ROCKETS +6
i also fear the beard.
going with
bulls -4
cavs ML
pacers ML
1.20/1
derick rose is back!
that means im all over bulls tonight.
Bulls -2.5 first half lines
evens.
Nice to see some difference of opinion tonight!
Spurs/Rockets should be a good game, both teams want to win and improve their respective places for play-off.
I still think Spurs have a slight advantage tho, they’re playing at home, they’re pumped up after their latest wins and I actually think that playing this game back to back is a good thing in order to stay hot.
GL all!
Does anybody know why the Wizards were -4.5 at the Knicks?
‘spurs / houston .
ALL ABOARD THE MONEY TRAIN ???’
That’s your pick Huggy.
Oh my word. Attila, you Judas haha
Alexiskk, I hope you don’t mean the Chicago Bears haha
I’ve noticed really big shifts in the spreads the last week or so. Movement of 5 or 6 points one way, then it slides back again before tip off. Across multiple games. What’s with that?!
I only noticed it yesterday with the Heat to be honest but that was only 3 points or so.
atillia I’ve noticed the same thing the last week or so they spread have been coming in and then drifting back out I’m guessing it’s late money being put on in Vegas but the last week or so it’s been happening way more than usual
Oh my bad Wizards are playing 76ers.
well one of you is a GOD . another is a LEGEND.
MEANWHILE I’M PMSL ….
I love this thread .. its opinions with research
not – ROCKET SCIENCE –
STOP THE BEARD…
I’ve got a beard, nobody fears me :D
Jordan what do you think of Spurs to win the 1st quarter? they won last nights quite easy
theyve only had 23 hours rest so maybe tired…
only joking !!
Depends if you want to lose your money in 12 minutes Jag. It’s doable but you’d have to ask huggy as it’s his pick :D
Jordan you trying to get me strung up ..
ha brill banter
OriaZ I got walker ew at 40/1 a few months ago and put 1pt on it and then another 0.5pts ew on at 22/1. 1pt ew on stenson 22/1, 1pt Westwood top10 and 1pt furyk top20. Also got 2pts on Westwood top20 finish 13/8 but I didn’t tip it as it’s already been tipped heavily elsewhere
derick rose is back!
that means im all over bulls tonight.
Bulls -2.5 first half lines
evens *won*
thats enough of the in play nearly had a heart attack :D
mlac .. its more fun then
gonna work on my why spurs lost excuse… just in case
Haha nice mlac! Huggy, no, never ;)
Harry love the Westwood pick but I went safer on top 20 @ 13/8. Have you put your bets on the golf thread?

I was lucky to get walker at 40/1 a couple months ago so that’s my main interest but I’ve got many eggs in many baskets and not too much staked. Testing the Indian premier league waters too so hopefully I’ll be on here a bit more if all goes well
Haha aww we missed you too x
Yeah same mate can’t wait for it to start. Annoying that that don’t cover the whole day. Good luck with your cricket mate and good stuff on the footy today.

You would think dorsey would practice more free throws lol
Gonna start calling you ‘Atilla too early’ hahaha, what an opener though.
Matty that was class, think he had a shot of something strong to settle the nerves before the game haha

LAst nights props. Horford over 15.5. Finished on 14, tonight, 22. Yay.
Joe Johnson the other day, total was 13.5, finished on 6, tonight, 21. Double yay.
Great picks picksix! No idea why that spread was so low. Good work. Fancied the total on the Pistons game but I even put myself off on the Celtics as I wasn’t certain they’d go over 100.
Is it just me or has the betting for the rockets Spurs game dissapeard on 365
And now it’s back
Cheers mate I have no idea why it was so low the wizards have an excellent record against detroit
Oh huggy nice shout on the HT spread :D
Picksix they played Philly :D
I meant the 6ers not Detroit
lol I know I jus realized I wrote Detroit dont know why
It’s late I’ll let you off buddy.
Let’s call it even seeing as tho u thought they were playing knicks earlier lol
F*ck this I’ve got too much on this I’m covering Houston +6.5 @ 4/1 @ PP. I will take that all day.
Hahaha deal ;)
Wow the Kings up by six against the Jazz they were at a 13 point start before the game think I missed one there jazz games usually preety close
GIN-O-BI-LI
Yeah I know and both Cousins and Gay aren’t playing either!
Spurs are actually scaring me the way they’re playing at the moment. I’ve got a stake on the Warriors @ 9/2 and I think I’m going to put the same stake on the Spurs @ 5/1 @ WillHill.
Haha foooooorrrrr threeeeeee!
F*CKING, LOVING, THIS!
Club America 5th goal before 50th minute @ 5/6 @ 365. 4-0 in 25 minutes.
As I post that Herediano get a man sent off. Could be double figures this.
Club America 5th goal before 50th minute @ 5/6 @ 365. 4-0 in 25 minutes. **WIN** 32 minute 5-0.
Smaller bet on Club America goal before 50th again @ 4/5 @ 365
Spurs -5.5 @ 10/11 **WIN**
Good shout huggy. Legend, God, the eye of the beholder, the bread maker. HAHAHA
unlucky attila , but this spurs side may retain this title.
tony parker plays when he wants to , he only plays when he wants too……
JORDAN never a doubt … Class above.
the ‘ BEARD’ is not even a ‘MOOSTASH’
main bet spurs -5.5 WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOOO
played the bench for the last 10 mins and still won by 12.
No signs of Pogonophobia tonight huggy ;)
Oooh, think my 365 account has been restricted haha. No markets on any event in play.
Same stake on the Spurs to win it all @ 5/1 @ WillHill. Warriors @ 9/2 a couple months ago so I’ll profit if either win it. Don’t think the Cavs can hang with either over 7. If its the Cavs in the Final (be either them or the Hawks).
spurs done same last year .. gonna be some great games.
Tonight was a taster! What a game. Huggy do you watch them or you just watching the scores?
Haha Spurs down 9/2 now @ WillHill. Stake wasn’t that big ;)
depends if I’m off. work fixed nights 4 on 2 off.
need to switch to unlimited data and watch them on 365 . due new phone shortly..
missed a cracker didn’t I ?
You can buy the NBA game pass. Just went on their website. $21 (£14) for every game. Think it’s mobile friendly too.
I’ll look into it . cheers jordan
Smaller bet on Club America goal before 50th again @ 4/5 @ 365 **LOSE**
