DEANDRE and Rustychest are back so let's see those US sports tips – with basketball and baseball action coming quick and fast.
Sunday also sees the final day of the US Masters at Augusta and it promises to be an exciting shoot-out.
Who do you think will be wearing the Green Jacket on Sunday night?
Put up your sports tips and chat here and let's get this thread buzzing again.
I really fancy Rickie Fowler for this final day. Bubba looks nervous, Speith is still a rookie and must be doubted, Jimenez normally has one good round then fades.
I think Fowler has gone under the radar somewhat this week and I really fancy his chances of going close tomorrow. His 67 today was superb and he has proven himself to be a winner on the PGA Tour when beating Mcilroy in a playoff.
I’m not saying he’s favourite, but just two back, I really do fancy him to go under the radar and nick it and at 11/1 I really like the price. Kuchar would be favourite for me, but I just feel as if he just can’t close it out. It won’t surprise me if we have a three way playoff tomorrow, exciting times!
Woop woop DeAndre and Rusty are back, have missed those cheeky faces, now lets get on the money line and do some damage :D
can anyone help me, i put 4 bets on for the masters speith, fowler, johnson and kuchar with coral. i have 3 of the slips but have somehow lost the speith slip and theres a chance he could win now being tied. if he does win is there a way coral could look it up on their system and i would be paid out without the slip? i have the other slips that show what time and date they were struck so they could look at what other bets were placed at that time
mark, if you put it on in a shop there will be no problem as long as you can replicate the bet – that means writing out an exact copy and giving them a rough time of when it was placed. It will be in the system so your only problem is if someone finds the slip and cashes it before you.
I quite like the look of Houston Rockets to cover the -15 spread at home to an injury hit Pelicans team who have their best players missing. The Pelicans are on a 7 game losing streak including a heavy 116-94 defeat at Oklahoma last night.
Rockets have been high scoring lately and are still fighting to stay in 4th spot, they also played last night but should have more depth in their squad to outplay their opponents, especially as Howard and Beverly come back in.
Thank you Mr. F!
My main MLB pick in LA Dodgers is already in-play and is going as expected. Get on it if you’re into in-play bets! The Dodgers pitcher has teeth on D’backs (not the Suarez kind). :)
See you all tomorrow with Sunday MLB and NBA plays :)
Well my 3 teams all won last night but 2 only just failed to cover the ATS? Hawks ran out winners outright as underdog, Dallas won by 3 points against the 4 spread and Denver won by 7 against a 9 spread. Sooo close!
Let’s hope for a better Sunday! Wil be great to get the thread really going again.
Good luck all
Going into the final round
Spieth J. (Usa)-5 9/2
Watson B. (Usa)-5 3/1
Blixt J. (Swe)-4 11/1
Kuchar M. (Usa)-4 4/1
Fowler R. (Usa)-3 12/1
Jimenez M. A. (Esp)-3 20/1
Bjorn T. (Den)-2 28/1
Furyk J. (Usa)-2 25/1
Westwood L. (Eng)-2 12/1
All odds taken from Bet365
With it being a tight score card there looks to be a lot of value available
My picks are
Fowler 2pt win
Jimenez 1.5 pt win
Bjorn 1.5 pt win
What’s does everyone else think?
Does anybody fancy hull to win today
had posted on the previous thread
had griffin on the overs with Jefferson and added jeff green boston to make a lovely doubles & a treble
only lebron being 2 points shy blew the motherlode
had been looking at the Utah/Denver game but PP were not offering on my main man lately faried but only on my favourite white man can’t jump heyward who actually beat the spread. can never get on the right side of him
PP have priced up a few games tonight
affalo, nick young, zac Randolph & Stephen curry have all regularly been beating the points spread lately
hopefully they will price up cousins at 22/23 as he has been going well and maybe westbrook at around 20 as he has had a few good games last week 2
you have a got to answer for de andre getting me into this I’ve aged about 10 years in 3 months of no sleep watching all these games
lets go for a double treble tonight
monelyline & player performance both up
hope you are on the thunder, nets and bulls
that’s what I;m thinking right now
Kuchar is the only one of my original picks with a serious chance, so i’ll be rooting for him!!
The playoffs are looking unlikely for my suns as they lost they’re last 2 against the rival spurs and Mavs. I’ll put up some tips later on but I’ll probably miss the 6pm tip off. Glad to see Rusty isn’t banned after all and hopefully this thread can get back to firing out bedtime winnings!
Sorry Dave but ventually you’ll adapt to the no-sleep routine, the key is hibernation throughout the off season!!!
Hello DeAndre, good to see you mate. :)
Good to see you back DeAndre and Rusty
Glad to see you deandre and rusty.long time no see haha
NBA Game of the Month:
CHI Bulls -ANYTHING on the spread (10/11)
Bulls need to win to keep their eastern conference seed while Knicks are now officially eliminated and should fail to show winning attitude tonight. Knicks backbone and star forward Carmelo Anthony – who is to miss the NBA playoffs for the first time in his career – has already inquired for the Bulls to pursue him when his contract runs out on July. I see Chicago Bulls winning comfortably here and I would take any spread line up to double digits.
Just to confirm, I’ve taken CHI Bulls -3.5 (Current line) at 20/21 and that’s my major NBA play today :)
I think I’m putting a bit extra on that play. More plays from NBA and MLB coming in a bit :)
Hello Rusty, thanks for not filing a sexual harassment case :) How did you get on last night?
honda, I was on LA Dodgers -1.5 (Won) ATL Braves -1.5 (Won), BAL orioles ML (Won), LA Angels -1.5 (Lost by 1), MIL Brewers ML (Won),a Game Totals Treble which lost and OAK Athletics -1.5 (Won), so overall a good night :)
Congrats :) I assume you shall be posting some more suggestions ;)
Alright, I’ve decided on and played my picks.

All on the money line pays 4.1/1
Good luck all!

Great 2 see you back deandre love listening 2 your crack and your tips on all the threads here’s 2 winning ways
If it helps guys, Lyon supporters don’t fancy Lyon tonight. If Lavezzi starts back him to score anytime. He probably will start with Ibra missing. L’amour et la paix :)

RAPTORS
BLAZERS
£10 PAYS £34 approx
Adding:
NBA Game Totals Treble:
GS Warriors @ POR Trail Blazers – Over 200

Eek. This thread has stopped appearing in ‘Recent Comments’. Mr. F!
NBA Tips
Chicago
Minnesota
Portland
Treble pays 4-1 on the money line at Paddy.
Good luck everybody, glad your back Rusty, how was France Raal?
Forget the money line, I’ve taken the first two teams on the spread at ~10/11 each ;)
Bulls – 100%
Timberwolves – 100%
Blazers – I don’t know man, it depends on the Warriors ;)
Great to see you back DeAndre
Great to see the two top boys are back in town!
Damnit Thunder went down in a close early game but still have the other 2
Good luck all!
Stueyd, I took Thunder + the points today so mines a winner. Play the spread guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I normally do but was confident of the outright win tonight. Lessons learnt when betting the underdog :)
Cheers
Welcome home Rusty and DeAndre, I had almost cured my insomnia lol :D
Saying that they were only giving Thunder. +2 on the normal spread when I placed the bet so would still be short for me. Rusty I guess you got on a lot earlier
Wel done
Dodgers absolutely demolishing Diamondbacks again. 5-0 and all bases filled. You’d be crazy not to play my MLB picks as singles :D
By the way, Dodgers and Diamondbacks were in Australia for the season opener. I got to see them live twice :)
I’m on your two NBA certs Rusty. Added Santos Laguna for a 5/1 treble. Cheers mate.
Oakland finish 3-0, Dodgers up 8-3 in the 7th, and Padres v Tigers is at 5-1 with 1 innings left… no more score in that and it’s on to the basketball for some more pennies. Thanks rusty and Deandre!
Jordan, good luck mate.
Finchy, cheers for playing them as singles! Personally, I’m so over accumulators / multis as main plays. At over or just under evens, they’re definitely priced right to be played that way and you only need just a bit more than half the picks to come through for a profit. Ideal ;)
Nice picks on the baseball Rusty.
Looks like both deAndre and Rusty agree in Chicago Bulls win, so going max stakes on -3.5 spread.
Good luck to all
cheers for the mixed selections guys got on a 10/1 acca earler with la dodgers,la angels,oak athletics, and bulls-3.5.
Bulls gettin whooped!! -3.5 not lookin likely :-(
Bulls have turned from the best defence in NBA to one of the worst for this game. Even the commentators are taking a piss at that fact. Thousands are as shocked as you are… I think I had a plee with DeAndre to avoid betting on all Knicks games a while back…
Ah well, on to the next one
Mr.Fixit any insight in to early rounds of the snooker im sure theres money to be made somewhere. Dint know if there was a resident on the site with any inside info ?? Cheers.
broke just about even last night
had the bulls like everyone else but they were well beaten and that was without melo firing on all cylinders
for my player bets had durant who was well over and noah who went over with 4 seconds left but was let down with nick young who needed 19 had 11 at half time and 14 after the 3rd but didn’t reappear
really fancied cousins last night but PP didnt price up that game
talked up curry before the game but omitted hom as well
Does anyone have an idea of what time DeAndre put up his tip last night? I was fast on :)
G’day gentlemen, yesterday it was my MLB picks that raked in the profits as it has been the past few days. Out of all the Run Line/Money Line picks I’ve posted here and on the football thread I’m currently 6 out of 7. I love it. My NBA Game Totals almost came through but fell due to a last second “let him have it” FREE 3 point shot from Timberwolves. I’m going cautious on the NBA as the normal season ends in the next few days. I’ll post my picks later :)
Also, funny how the two teams from DeAndre’s treble I thought would show up -didn’t- but my very own Blazers who I thought might win but felt that it depends on how Warriors are feeling -did-. Haha :)
NBA Tips
Boston, Washington, Charlotte.
Treble pays 5-2 on the money-line.
Last couple days not been too rewarding for me but with a wife choice of games this looks like the best treble to me.
DeAndre, love and respect mate, missed you and Rusty. :)
Good luck DeAndre :)
Cheers, good luck to everyone who’s having a bet tonight
Thanks DeAndre must be due a winning bet.
Come out Rusty wherever you are :)

Cheers Rusty, DeAndre, good luck all :)
For all those interested, here’s how I allocated stakes:
Max stakes on singles. 1/4 of the max stake on each of the MLB trebles. 1/2 of the max stake on the NBA treble.
Cheers :)
Feeling another lucky night on the underdogs. Here is my treble
Timberwolves +8
Spurs + 6
Hawks +5
Pays 6/1 and also taking as a trixie.
Good luck all and welcome back to Rusty and DeAndre. It’s been lonely on here!
de andre
why are the wizards favourites to beat Miami
are the heat resting lebron ?
dave, that line moved heavily from Wizards underdogs to Wizards favourites. There was a huge backing on initial odds of Wizards + the points as the Heat have been poor on the road lately and Wizards really, really need this win for the 6th spot. LeBron and Bosh are also expected to be rested tonight, however this will mean the other players have a chance to step up in their absence and with the defensive void LeBron and Bosh will be leaving I think this game will be going over the total thus my bet on that.
Rusty I don’t quite have the funds to do all your bets bud, much as I’d love to! Would you have a super single from all your picks?
Mike J, CIN Reds /w Bailey ML (5/6) are my best bet tonight.
Thanks Rusty, really appreciate the info pal.
Yeah Dave LeBron ain’t playing until the playoffs…he’s got his feet up and Bosh is giving him a foot rub like the little b*tch that he is :-D
DeAndre, woah! haha :D
But this Heats @ Wizards game is definitely going over. End to end ball game. :)
Haha, sorry Rusty but Bosh is ass…heat will not three-peat!
DeAndre, ‘three-peat’? I don’t follow
Oh, they won’t win the championship for the third consecutive season. Absolutely with you on that!
Wizards are absolutely demolishing Heat. That’s how much LeBron and Bosh mean to them.
Yeah I think the West are gonna win it this year, probably by beating the Heat in the finals mind you….Clippers, Thunder or Spurs are surely the only REAL contenders out west this year?!
Tennis – Monte Carlo Masters
Gilles Simon to beat Teymuraz Gabashvili (8/15)
Simon has greater pedigree on clay. Simon is tough to break down, even for the very best players. He has an excellent defensive game, is a good returner and packs a mean counter punch. Gabashvili looked reasonably good in the qualifiers, but that was against Stakhovsky (below average on clay) and Volandri (serves like a 12 year old girl). This will not be easy for Simon but he should have enough to get through.
World Championship Snooker
Mark King to beat Jamie Cope (4/7)
King is having a typically consistent season, only really losing to the big guns. Cope, on the other hand, ended 2013 atrociously, and while he has picked it up this year, his only wins have been against nobodies or completely out of form players.
And with that the Suns are a lottery team…sad face.
Another close night that ended in one win, one push (money back) and a narrow 2 point loss on the Timberwolves spread. These are games are getting tougher as the season comes to a close.
Good luck all.
was lost last night without my player bets
the only game priced up was Houston and I had Duncan to go under
the other guys I had picked out all went over
love, curry , jeff green & Hayward and even big fat Zach who is in the nba fattest top 10 right now against the suns
Rusty, how did you get on with the baseball last night ?
Rusty, I followed your Cincinnati bet, but it’s pending. On investigation – the match was suspended. What does this mean for my bet? Thanks mate
wht a can gather on reds game is game suspended till today so bet like myself may continue.any thoughts any1 ???
The CIN Reds game was postponed due to rain delay and Bet365 automatically voided my bet slips and returned the stakes. You can open up support with your bookie and have it void too. Otherwise the game will be soon resumed at 7-7.
The Oakland match won, while the underdogs Phillies lost. I broke even on baseball.
There are 14 MLB games to pick from today. I’m going down the rabbit hole and will be back later with my plays.
Today’s plays so far:
5* WAS Nationals /w Strasburg -1.5 (10/11)
3* TEX Rangers /w Ross -1.5 (27/20)
3* DEN Nuggets @ LA Clippers – Under 219.5 (10/11)
I played them all the same but I’ve rated them out of 5 stars.
Rusty, tempted for a singles, 3 doubles and a treble :) Shall mull it over and see what else you put up :)
Regular season NBA has become extremely unpredictable and best be avoided as bettors, however that Nuggets @ Clippers Game Total line is absurd. The Clippers are done for the season with third place in the bag. Sure, they have a franchise record to play for on homestand, and it’s probable that the veteran starters may get a run out in the first half, however more than likely they will be sitting out.
honda, how do you make 3 doubles from 3 selections mate? :)
Like, you just can :) That way as long as any 2 selections win you have a winning double. If you select the 3 selections under the multiples bit on bet365 you will see an option for doubles, and next to it x3 :)
honda, oh right. I like it :)
Half stake plays:
2* LA Dogers @ SF Giants – Over 8 (10/11)
2* PHI Phillies -1.5 (29/20)
2* KC Royals -1.5 (Evens)
Thanks for the idea honda. I played a trixie and doubles with these. Treble pays 8.35/1
Adding:
3* OAK Athletics /w Straily ML (Evens)
2* PIT Pirates -1.5 (6/4)
2* COL Rockies /w Nicasio ML (11/10)
That’s all for tonight. Good luck if you’re with me :)
That should read PIT Pirates -1.5 /w Cole.
3* and up = max stake plays, 2* and under = half stake plays :)
So you have 6 selections Rusty, as well as the 3 posted earlier?
honda, yes, 9 total plays ;)
Haha what to choose :) May just do the original 3 as they are your most confident. 3 singles 3 doubles and a treble. So many plays confuses me :) Don’t really want to do more than 3, and no doubt these will be the 3 that don’t come in out of the 9 :) Thank you good sir for all the tips anyhow :)
WAS Nationals are dropping in odds and losing value. I would get on it before any further line movement ;)
I’m also looking to play a 50p yankee with deeper lines of my favourites but having trouble picking a 4th selection outside the 3*+.
3* OAK Athletics /w Straily ML (Evens)
5* WAS Nationals /w Strasburg -1.5 (10/11)
3* TEX Rangers /w Ross -1.5 (27/20)
These are the 3 I have picked :)
Good luck to the both of us :) May have worked out my stakes incorrect :) 1 win for half my total stake back, 2 for profit, 3 for ketchup and beans with tomorrows breakfast at work :D
honda, you’re nuts haha :)
honda, the beauty of it is you only need half of them to come through to break into profit and the result can only go 2 ways if you play money line ;)
You know me, I like to live dangerously on the spread :)
I’ve decided on KC Royals as the 4th pick in my yankee bet. Astros’ pitcher has been struggling heavily and the Royals should be getting many runs.
WAS Nationals -3.5 (11/4)
TEX Rangers -2.5 (9/4)
OAK Athletics -2.5 (13/5)
KC Royals -3.5 (11/4)
Yankee 11 bets / 4 fold 163.53/1
This one is for fun!
That yankee – fun or not – looks so delicious. I dig it more than picking major upsets and draws in football. :)
I’m on your 5* pick Rusty to attempt to end the day well. Cheers mate.
On your yankee bet Rusty, and then the three picks Honda has gone for as well, as 3 singles, 3 doubles and the treble. Good luck!
Rusty what you thinking on Knicks vs Nets, I am tempted 7.5+ on Knicks
Just placed my first ever Baseball bet out of your picks Rusty. Hope it is just as fun as the NBA!
Rusty, do you know when this suspended baseball game (7-7) will be played? My bookie has not made my bet void…
Tomh, no opinion on the NBA play. I’ve rested the NBA for the regular season.
przemm, you have to contact your bookie and ask them to void it for you.
Good luck mates :)
Rusty I know almost nothing about these MLB bets :)
is there anything worth tonight?
Yeah I think that’s wise, they all seem to be looking ahead for the play offs now.
I’m getting on your baseball tips instead then, cheers

Rusty how can your 5* tip lose so badly? What happened as it says they lost 10-2….or am I reading it wrong? Defo lost as I lost money on it
They lost 11-2 iddy. Same game the night before ended 9-2 to Nationals, so wasn’t a bad call. The two 3* bets came in, so i’m happy.
Cheers Dave
5* WAS Nationals /w Strasburg -1.5 (10/11) LOST – Nationals slipped up early by trying to do too much which set the tone for the rest of the game. If the opening innings were clean, Strasbourg would have easily shut out the rest.
3* TEX Rangers /w Ross -1.5 (27/20) WON
3* DEN Nuggets @ LA Clippers – Under 219.5 (10/11) LOST – A lot of meaningless ‘let him have it’ points in the final quarter ended the game at a total of 222.
3* OAK Athletics /w Straily ML (Evens) WON
2* LA Dogers @ SF Giants – Over 8 (10/11) LOST
2* PHI Phillies -1.5 (29/20) POSTPONED
2* KC Royals -1.5 (Evens) WON
2* PIT Pirates -1.5 (6/4) LOST
2* COL Rockies /w Nicasio ML (11/10) WON
I turned over profit and I believe so did all those who played all the 3* MLB. I would never play just one pick, ever. Take at least half :)
Rusty , DeA – do you reckon there should be a bit of value tonight in the NBA with top sides resting players for the playoffs? Few underdog shots on the spread maybe?
Kendog, yes, I have already taken max stake on my Trail Blazers -3 against Clippers tonight. I know I said I retired the regular season but this one had way too much value to give up. Trail Blazers -3 (10/11) over the Clippers. Easy money.
Rustychest
any NAP for tonight? :)
Cheers Rusty
3* POR Trail Blazers -3 (10/11)

2* Game Totals Treble:
CHI Bulls @ CHA Bobcats – Under 187

GS Warriors @ DEN Nuggets – Over 203
2.47/1
3* CLE Indians @ DET Tigers – Under 8 (5/6)
2* SEA Mariners @ TEX Rangers – Under 7 (10/13)
Only 1 3*……what to do :)
A more stakes than usual Yankee maybe? ;)
I wont lie I’m scared of the basketball picks :)
Not a criticism Rusty – just wondering what happened as I would have expected a 6-5 7-6 loss for that pick not a 11-2.
On to the next one – let’s go again tonight
Don’t feel like playing big tonight. So I play below picks as a fourfold on the money line @ 7.56 and the 3* pick as a single to break even :)
Trail Blazers (also as a single)
Padres
Grizzlies
Tigers
Cheers Rusty!
Iddy, baseball is not like anything else. Even the best team s in baseball lose many games at a margin. This gives us more value to smell underdog and value winners as I have been onto the past week with some 6/4+ picks. It’s an unpredictable sport at most times and particularly this early in the season. You weigh picks mainly based on the pitchers. Nationals won 9-2 the previous game and slipped up early in the next, allowing 6 in the first two.
honda, I would be worried about the basketball picks too. It’s final day of the regular season with so many teams resting key players. Warriors are resting 4 of their regular starters… a chance for the bench to step up but they’re going to be weak defensively and that game should go way over.
Right guys I’m back been a hot minute.
Going to do
Trailblazers(-3)
Cle@ Det under 8
Double pays 12/5
Thanks as ever Rusty
I’m spewing that I missed the early game with Mets and Diamondbacks. D’backs have the best team to play against. I don’t seem them recovering any time soon and I’m expecting Dodgers to take a bite on Friday again. I will be going all out on that.
NBA Tips
Portland(NAP), Phoenix, Toronto.
Treble pays 3-1 on the moneyline, Rustys pick of Portland -3 is a cert as Blake Griffin picked up his 16th technical and will miss the game.
Good luck everybody…
I likey the Suns pick DeAndre. May both our teams win tonight :D how about a Rusty & DeAndre double people? PHX Suns + POR Trail Blazers :;)
How about we add 5 games to the season so the Suns can squeak into the playoffs haha
The thing I was most worried about playing against the red hot Clippers was Doc Rivers has such confidence invested in his veterans that their spirit may have done us over by choosing NOT to rest, but as you said Blake Griffin is out making it a cert. ;)
I definitely think Clippers have the chance to take it far in the play-off’s. Contenders and a half for the west.
DeAndre, are you into baseball at all? ;)
I like the Clippers but they’ll be outsmarted by the Spurs or the Durantula will do his thing…seriously high on the Thunder coming in to the playoffs, they’re gonna win it with KD MVP, you heard it here first ladies and gentlefolks…..unless you heard it somewhere else!
Not really, Hoops and Football for me :-)
I’m with you on The Thunder most definitely, however Durant has a bromance with Westbrook… if at any point Westbrook doesn’t play, The Durantula may end up spinning in his web.
Not really though, I would take the bet on Kevin Durant for MVP, it’s screaming. I just really, really wanted to say that last line haha :D
Speaking of which DeAndre, do you have any postseason individual plays yet? I was looking at some 3-Point % and Assists.
Only bets I’ve got for the playoffs are the 2 for the Thunder to win the West and the whole shabang!
Probably try and do some correct series scores or something just for a bit fun, but for now I’m an unofficial OKC fan!!!
Damian F’ing Lillard! Such a talent. An asset to the Blazers and the NBA for years to come.
Monte Carlo Masters Tennis
Milos Raonic to beat Tommy Robredo (6/5)
I feel that Raonic should be slight favourite, rather than underdog. Yes, I know that Robredo is a solid clay court player. Plus, he had an inspired clay swing last season, especially when coming from 0-2 sets down three times in a row at Roland Garros. But he has nowhere near matched those levels this season and was lacklustre in his previous match against world number 51, Julien Benneteau. World number 10 Raonic actually beat Robredo last season in three sets on clay, and considering Raonic is playing as good as he was last season and Robredo is playing worse, logically, there is only one winner.
Blazers falling apart Rusty!
Lillards OK, I’d rather have Bledsoe and Dragic in the same backcourt, oh wait the Suns have that! Phoenix gonna be a beast next season!!!
Disclaimers Lillard is pretty special, just on the wind-up haha ;-)
Never in doubt Rusty ;-) I even took the Clippers at +12.5 @ 5/6 when they were getting beaten at the start of the 3rd so a great result….cheers for the tip. Great work!
3* POR Trail Blazers -3 (10/11) WON
3* CLE Indians @ DET Tigers – Under 8 (5/6) WON
2* SD Padres /w Cashner RL -1.5 (8/5) WON
2* MEM Grizzlies -3.5 (10/11) Grizzlies won but didn’t cover ATS
2* DET Tigers /w Sanchez RL -1.5 (6/4) LOST
2* Game Totals Treble:
CHI Bulls @ CHA Bobcats – Under 187 WON
DET Pistons @ OKC Thunder – Under 218 LOST
GS Warriors @ DEN Nuggets – Over 203 WON
2.47/1 LOST
2* SEA Mariners @ TEX Rangers – Under 7 (10/13) WON
Both 3*’s won and a few 2*’s. There’s a 8/5 winner there and not the only one of it’s kind this week either. That’s what I mean by value. :) Those are numbers close to Yankee folds!
Enjoy :)
I’ll be going light for Thursday. Going to be a massive weekend!
Good night.
Unlucky on the treble DeAndre. Couldn’t believe the Raptors lost when I checked this morning. Spose I should have watched past the second quarter.
Nice work Jimbo! Took Raonic to win at evs and 2-0 at 3/1…..well done mate, nice little start to the day after Rustys blazers tip and before the racing starts.
Indian Premier League 15:00
An intriguing game which I would expect Rcb to be to strong for the Daredevils especially with Pietersen out. That said I would expect a closer game than the betting suggests and wouldn’t be backing them at odds of 1/2. There is a lot of class in the RCB batting line up but I’ll stick with Chris Gayle to come out swinging. For the Daredevils I like the look of Vijay at a reasonable price.
Delhi Daredevils top batsman: Murali Vijay 4/1 paddy power
Royal Challengers Bangalore top batsman: Chris Gayle 9/4 paddy power
Double pays 15.25/1
good Luck if having a bet!
Thanks rusty, had a yankee with four of your selections, 3 came in which more than doubled my stake (starting to like yankees! :-) . Pitty bout the raptors but such a tight finish with the knicks. I lived in New York for a long time when I was younger, knicks are my team and whenever I bet against them they seem to screw me!! Best not me thinks… ;-)
Cheers cobramint. Raonic 2-0 at 3/1 is a great shout.
Dalyio, I generally do yankee bets for fun on high odds but with the right stakes it can be used on normal bets as well for real good returns. :)
Jimbo, that was indeed a good shout. Nice going mate. :D
I think we need a new thread, this one is drifting away from Recent Posts.
MLB picks for tonight:
3* KC Royals @ HOU Astros – Under 7.5 (4/5)
2* COL Rockies @ SD Padres – Over 7.0 (20/27)
2* MIL Brewers /w Gallardo ML (20/21)
2* CHI White Sox /w Sale (20/23)
I played them equally. Good luck. :)
Cheers Rusty. I have done your under 7.5 and over 7 in a double at 2.19/1 with Hills. I would probably have done more but haven’t got a freakin clue what it all means!!! :) Are Gallardo and Sale players?
Raal, yeah they’re the starting pitchers that comes up in your bet slip. Money Line on Brewers and White Sox. Haha :)
By the way, some people appear to assume that DeAndre and I get some kind of payment or commission for posting picks but it’s worthy to note that they’re all posted freely and I do my best to see you fine gents make profits. That’s my gain from it :D
By the way, I kind of lied above. We get free coupons at Raal & Honda’s massage parlour.
Coupons? You have a life membership Rusty ;)
raaljaca, just got back – nice week but shame about the lack of internet reception. How was France – I’m off there in a couple of weeks for golf but this time I might switch off entirely.
Rusty do you do them all as singles? Or what way is the best way?
de la soul, I primarily play singles nowadays. I find it’s the best way to break profit. The lads here seem to play them in doubles, trebles and yankees. However, I do roll them up into accumulators myself as well for fun. Small stakes on the roll ups :)
ok cheers rusty. I might have a go at these tonight haha! Hopefully they deliver some profit in the morning!!
raal what have you got me into I haven’t a clue.Ive just got used to DeAndres money line at the basketball.I am away with a note of rustys posts likely get a bet on about midnight!
I must have done it right at W Hill 2.19/1 double.Test the water with that Thanks in advance Rusty
Got a nice double landed last night rusty from your 3* I think it was

All good rusty, we all appreciate you gents who take the time to put up your tips :-)
Mite try your picks as singles tonight, your right its definitely the way to go for profit.
