FLYING Scotsman Gary Anderson rose to the occasion of St Andrew's Day on Sunday to bag his first major ranking title with a stunning success at the Players Championship.
The tartan tungsten technician did it in style, taking out Phil Taylor in the quarters and Adrian Lewis in the final, and couldn't be in better form ahead of the biggest event in darts, the World Championships later this month. Anderson is now 8-1 to conquer the world at the Ally Pally with Taylor 2-1 favourite and Michael van Gerwen 7-2.
You can also get 4-6 on the tournament winner being an Englishman while it's 6-4 a Dutchman and 15-2 a Scot.
Monday's sporting highlights feature waistcoats and green baize galore with round three of the UK Championships snooker and the start of pool's annual Europe v USA showdown the Mosconi Cup.
Europe spanked the Yanks by a record margin in Las Vegas last year and now they're hosting in an even more glamorous location of, er, Blackpool. The hosts are 4-9 with the Americans
9-4 to reclaim the trophy.
The Monday night NFL game is the struggling New York Jets against a Miami Dolphins side still clinging to slim play-off hopes.
Let's hear your own sporting tips and thoughts and good luck if you're having a bet.
I tried to find a reason why not to tip Denver after they drifted from 5/6 to evens, I couldn’t find one and Denver won pretty easily. It is fair to say they were one of my biggest bets landed, and I doubt we will see them at evens again this season, even if they get to the Superbowl.
DENVER TO WIN 1/1 WON :D
D, THOMAS WINCAST 15/8 WON
Prop Bet
ANDERSON O85.5yds 10/11 WON
There were plenty of other winners, Lacy easily Covered, as did Smith, Mason scored and Bell scored and covered.
Plenty of winners by the regular guys last night too.
Denver at evens was the bet of the year, an early Xmas present :D
Like the look of one game in nba tonight
NBA
MIA HEAT @ NY KNICKS

BET WON :)
Can anyone tell me the result of the most 180’s market between Anderson and Van der Voor (Semi final).
I placed the bet in shop and is miles away and cannot find any 180 match history. Thanks in advance.
yorkshire grey,Anderson had the most 180s.There was 14 180s in the match. 9-5.
Thank you very much waxman :)
Good stuff chief. Those prices were a bit crazy weren’t they!? We don’t mind :D
Monday Night Football. Kick off 1:30AM.
Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets
I’ll let chief do the write up for the preview on this one as it’ll make more sense than mine :)
No defense in in the league has allowed more TD passes than the 27 given up by the Jets. Ryan Tannehill, who has completed over 70 percent of his passes in six of his last eight games and hit 16 TDs in that span, it should be one of his easier contests this year. Tannehill threw 238 yards with 3 TD’s and 1 INT in Denver
Against a poor Jets secondary I expect Tannehill to have a lot of success in the air tonight. The Jets have averaged conceding over 25 points at home in 6 games (27.5 in all 11 games this season) with Miami averaging 25.6 points in 6 away games (25.9 in 11 total) Miami have won 3 away games this season (Jaguars Bears and the Raiders, scoring over 26.5 points in each game).
Miami went ahead 14-0 in Denver last week but 3 4th quarter TD’s for the Broncos secured a narrow 39-36 win. I just think with the Jets out of anything but pride and Miami fighting for a wildcard spot, seeing their performance in Denver last week. Miami should get the W here and give the Jets fans nothing unusual to go home to.
Main Bets
Miami over 24.5 points @ 10/11 @ Stan James
Prop Bets.
Mike Wallace over 55.5 receiving yards @ 10/11 @ Ladbrokes
Ryan Tannehill over 240.5 passing yards @ 10/11 @ Skybet
Not that it makes too much difference but Miami over 24 is evens on paddy. But I’ll be on that so thanks for the tip Jordan, also need Miami win to finish off a nice treble from yesterday.
Good spot Okan didn’t see that.
Hi Guys
Powers go 9/4 on Miami win and 42 plus points – thought it was worth a flutter – Ps Backed the over 24pts on Miami – Best of luck..!
MNF nfl bet. With Geno smith back as QB for jets, im expecting him to add to his tally of 10 interceptions!!! Going with Miami -13.5 @ 2/1. And Mike wallace to score td @ evens. goodluck everyone
The Wallace price is ridiculous WA! I thought about Landry but couldn’t decide between the two.
yeah jordan. i was only planning doing the -13.5, but evens for wallace was too tempting. Added interest in game anyways. goodluck with ur bets
Think I’m right in saying he’s scored a TD in his last 3 meetings against the Jets so can’t see why its not a good bet mate. Good luck!
Nfl Monday night well I had a bit of a shocker yesterday too many results in didn’t see at all arizona losing, pittsburgh losing it was a bit of a mess of a day so I sculked away and hoped u guys had better night than me, great call chief on the denver game, all the money was coming for Kansas couldn’t believe they got pushed to favs by time game kicked off.least minnesota won and I only wish we were in the carolina division it really is a joke that so many teams with losing record still have chance of making the playoffs. Onto tonight and think we all agree that geno smith starting tonight is great for everyone wanting to back miami. The jets are in a mess right now and am surprised the handicap is only -6.5 you can almost be sure that will shift half a point. Miami bring constant pressure to opposing qbs so a pick or 2 is a must so special teams td worth some interest, the jets have been decent stopping the run this season but with wilkerson absent from jets stop unit there should be success on ground for miller, he ran very well against denver the second rank run defence so should have similar success today. Mike Wallace should have too much class for an average secondary so tonight it’s all about miami for me
Miami -6.5 10/11
Miller wincast 13/8
Miller and Wallace anytime scorer 9/4
Miller over 58.5 yards at paddy’s and coral
Good luck
Lee, Teddy looked good yesterday! Good victory for you Viks!
Steelers what can I say. Twice now they’ve been done in recent weeks. By those damn Jets off all people too! I’m hoping Miami take revenge for me tonight. Good luck boys. All aboard the Miami bus.
Is that Miller total rushing yards or total yards because my local has over 52.5 rushing yards
Evenin fellas hop your doin good, will Chief be puttin somethin up withtin reasonable time aka not after midnight lol buddah bless
It depends how the chief is feeling honda. Usually he puts them up about 15 minutes before kick off. Set your alarm buddy or treat yourself to a slightly later evening? Haha

Wallace over 55 is tempting, any idea how much of the game he gonna play, he a big target for Miami?
He’s their best WR honda. Had the most RECS, yards, carries over 20 yards, longest REC, most TD’s this season. Bigger target than Landry but Landry has the most YAC (yards after catch). Think Wallace is a decent bet who’s had a TD against the Jets in his last 3 meetings.
Jordan teddy was solid not spectacular by any means but he is growing and next season will be good season for us
Honda Mike Wallace is the main receiver for miami signed from pittsburgh where he was big players for them, expect him to play well tonight
Not spectacular no but I for one did not expect them to have 28 points at HT! At least now it’s about growing as a team for you and looking to next season. Can play a bit better with the pressure off. Hopefully not the same for the Jets :D
Wallace is as short as 4/6 for an anytime TD
Whos Miller then fellas, he play rush?
Honda u can get Wallace wincast at 7/5 at paddy power, lamar miller is running back 11/8 wincast at billy hill I’d be happy with either
Ah see I love a good prop bet on a rusher but i think Wallace yards at like 55 or whatever is low shoudnt be hard for him to get that i wouldnt have thought
Evening gents
As posted at the start of the week all my money is on Miami -5.5
Just a stat on Lamar miller guys, he’s in my fantasy team and has struggled of late, don’t forget as bad as the jets are against th pass they have a tough rush defence! In his entire career he has never scored a TD or gone over 75 yards against the jets! And he’s only rushed over 100 yards once this season!
Last week against the broncos Miami scored 36 points yet he scored less than 70 yards
And as the jets do actually have a decent rush defence I expect tannehill to throw most of the night
Good luck all
However I hope I’m wrong as I need him to put up over 10 points to cement my playoff position in fantasy!!
New England patriot I expect miami to control the game tonight and if wilkerson is out that’s a huge gap in their run d worries me taking a rb for a team who may end up chasing game but don’t see that tonight, can see miller getting 20 plus carries and if he runs as well as he did against denver he will get to 100 yards tonight
I’d be a very happy man if he gets those yards Lee! Hope it comes in!
Good luck mate were all on same boat tonight which normally bodes well for good result I’ll be looking forward to reading Jordans play by play coverage when I wake up in morning ;-)
Jordan – what do u think of Miami over 2.5 TD’s at 4/5? Is that a reasonable bet??
13/8 the Wincast On WillHill Lee.
NEP hope you’re right as thats my theory hence why I’ve gone for Wallace and Tannehill yards.
Iddy that’s a very good bet mate and I wouldn’t be shocked if the chief put up the same sort of bet. I would have taken that but only had one market at BWIN? Where is that market?
Lee I didn’t tell you I’ve been emailed by ESPN to commentate on the playoffs ;)
New to American football betting, can only get Dolphins at -6.5 , is this still worth it fellas ?
Ha ha Jordan u will do for me mate
Simon miami -6.5 is good I wouldn’t put u off it
Ha ha Jordan u will do for me mate
Simon miami -6.5 is good I wouldn’t put u off it
Jordan – it was on b365
Over 3.5 was 2/1 which was also tempting
Simon yes that’s a safer option and you should be ok. Iddy cheers mate just seen it and put the same stake on my main bet. I would have put that if I had found it. Thanks again.
Few interesting games but only 1 with decent odds
NBA
DEN NUGGETS @ UTA JAZZ
DOUBLE RESULT
DEN NUGGETS / DEN NUGGETS
5/4
Good luck fellas tonight seattle available at evens wi paddy against the eagles only for the brave haha
Not sure I’ll be touching that one this week honda. Broncos, Packers, Lions, Saints all double digit spreads this week.
Good luck tonight fellas. Can’t watch it myself but I’ll be rooting for the Dolphins in my dreams. Hopefully we’re all a littler richer in the morning
Miami over 3.5 tds is 2/1
Miami race to 30 points is 5/2
Which would you guys say is the ‘safer’ of these 2?
Neither George. Have done both only twice away this season. May well happen but for over 2.5 or over 24.5 points close to EVS, you may as well take one on those. Chief will have his tips up soon so wait for those.
Hey Jordan mate, my bookie only had Wallace over 63.5 and Tannehill over 247.5. Still worth taking?
Also, I’m on your Miami 24.5+ points, but should I do the handicap -6.5 as well or u think its better yo use the points as the SS instead?
Not sure Attila I surf the yards bets for the lowest totals as you can always be done by 1 yard!
Thanks Jordan, think ill lay off the yards bets. You reckon the 24+ is a better bet than the -6.5 btw?
Don’t know to be honest Attila. Miami over 2.5 TD’s is my favourite bet but I couldn’t get the odds before so left it out of my write up. Chiefs tips will be up soon.
I’ve looked into the Waterhouse game in the Jamaican league at 2 and it looks good for overs plus the win. 1st against 9th.
Waterhouse to win and Jordans -6.5 Miami Handicap makes 2/1
IV I haven’t tipped a handicap.
Sorry bud I meant Lee Cunliffe.I’m gutted because Betvic doesnt do points accrued in a game I had to opt for the handicap which has screwed me on numerous occasions.
30 mins til start. Are Chiefs tips going up?
I might go 3 figure handed on Miami to win what are the chances of a shock loss boys ?
Miami v New York Jets
The weather could get bad in New York tonight, and that could make the game closer than most think, however even on MNF at home I cant be with Geno Smith, he as the chance for a big night with the Dolphins missing 3 starters in the secondary, but Grimes is still out there and I expect turnovers from Geno. Miami O2.5 touchdowns looks a bet as before week 13 they had made more trips into the redzone then any other side they need the win to stay in the playoff hunt. O2.5 Miami TDs is 4/6 Skybet.
Prop Bets
Lamar Miller if the weather turns bad will take the load on the road. Jets are missing big Mo arguably their best defensive line man, I like Miller here to come up big. His rushing yards is set at 58.5yds 5/6 Paddy Power
Mike Wallace is one of the faster players in the league, he was good in Pittsburgh but in Miami Tannehill hasn’t been able to connect with him deep down the field. Wallace hasn’t gone beyond 60yds on the road this season, but as spoken this week about being “the man” to take Miami to the playoffs, his line is at 55.5yds at 10/11 Ladbrokes. I will take the overs.
Anytime Scorer
Mike Wallace has 7 touchdowns in 12 games this season, and is a go to guy in the redzone. I deep ball could see him run away from this secondary and is worth a look at 1/1 various. If Miami continue to get into the redzone as they have done then it could be Miller time, and he is the anytime wincast 13/8 William Hill.
MIAMI O2.5 TEAM TOUCHDOWNS 4/6
Prop BETS
MILLER 058.5yds 5/6
WALLACE 055.5yds 10/11
Anytime scorer
WALLACE TO SCORE 1/1
MILLER ANYTIME WINCAST 13/8
Good luck if your having a bet
Iddy – ‘Jordan – what do u think of Miami over 2.5 TD’s at 4/5? Is that a reasonable bet??’.
Me ‘Iddy that’s a very good bet mate and I wouldn’t be shocked if the chief put up the same sort of bet’.
I’m learning your ways chief ;) Like it mate good luck to us all! Hurry up and get U2 off!
Screw it, I just lumped on -6.5 and also 24+. Need to get back losses from stupid btts beta in Argentina today which have both been pathetic to say the least!
Just because you lose on football doesn’t mean you’ll win on NFL Attila but good luck.
Yeah, I know I could lose on this game too…but am prepared for that :-) I have looked at this game for a couple days now…i usually lump on 1 game per week and though this one looked good, just couldn’t decide on which bets to go with.
Haha, not surprised everyone gone for Miami tonight, gutted didn’t see 4/5 and apart from props I try and stay away from odds on picks but, Geno may give us some presents and I wouldn’t have said Miami made most trips to redzone before week 13, so after a big win on Denver last night, went for it and thought put it up, people can take it or think its not great value, its up to them :)
Can’t think of many who would have taken the Jets chief. I was looking for that market on oddschecker all afternoon but couldn’t find it. Wallace yards looking ok. Points on the board would be nice though.
My bookie only had team touchdowns for each half, not total game so just went with the earlier tips. Sit back and watch the game now :-)
All jets so far…typical
Attila you need to remember its a possession turn game. Miami just missed a field goal but Wallace nearly has his yards and Tannehill is throwing comfortably but just needs a bit of protection. Plenty of football to be played.
Sorry mate, just reading through, the 750+ comms on the football thread, said last nite this is Jets big game, almost a superbowl for them as they are on big National stage.
Don’t apologize mate I’m just sitting here cursing the Dolphins :D
Yeah you’d think that Miami want/need the win more thought and I’m never backing a 2-9 team to win. That’s like backing Blackpool to win!
Yeah you’d think that Miami want/need the win more thought and I’m never backing a 2-9 team to win. That’s like backing Blackpool to win!
I’m getting on the Jets -3.5
Dolphins cant make a metre when in possession yet gifting metres to Jets. Stupid idea to lump on…games half over, I can ser where this is heading! Ah well, will only lose profit I gained over Sunday & Monday…
Miami beat up on the secondary but these end around plays don’t even work on the Xbox, so Geno must be pleased. Spotted your tomorrow bets, and your on my Super single which I took on Saturday and will be on tomorrow Bony :)
Geno cant make the throws. Miami need to pound Miller, and take a chance down downfield, Tannehill needs a shake
They’re making plays and gains just need to convert on third down more often. Not running the ball either which is good for my prop bets so hopefully something can be done second half. Still a long way to go. You only need two TD’s and a field goal without reply.
Great price for Wilfried chief! Odds on is a bit of a joke against QPR.
Against*
Taking the Swansea goals though as I saw the highlights Saturday, Voldemort and Sigurdsson could have had hat-tricks.
Ooooh nearly a pick. That would have been our Wallace yards too!
Mr Cunliffe 10-3 to the Jets at HT with a field goal for Miami to run the clock out in the second quarter. Miami gets the ball to start the second half. Back to Boomer in the studio.
Yay, field goal, lol. Bit more respectable now! Hope they come out a different side.
Yay ?
Is this a variation on the American term, yee ha, meaning an expression of joy.
No!!! Wallace drops it in the n zone!
That was at least 25 yards too. Wallace stuck on 50 at the moment.
These two sides are so bad even kicking field goals is hard work. America must be on the edge of their seats watching this on primetime
Haha primetime television. What a waste!
Mike Wallace over 55.5 receiving yards @ 10/11 @ Ladbrokes **WIN** Redemption!
Jets 3 and out 3 straight drives, man they are bad, and yet Miami still cant score, Tanehill step up now Man. Geno cant even hand it off to his RB without it being fumbled.
TD MILLER! 13-13, 10 minutes to play.
Can’t help but think Miami will settle for a field goal if they stop the Jets on this drive.
Yeah chief Geno has been same old Geno but it would have been a lot worse if Vick was playing.
I can see why Miami are the best scoring team inside the redzone, if they game was like 20-20 in cricket they would win the superbowl :) Just feed Miller this game is there for the taking.
Hahaha, think this will be it. Run the clock down then win it with a field goal.
I don’t dislike Geno, I feel sorry for him but he gone to Jets and gets no help at all. Rex Ryan will be gone he had a run couple years back when Jets played defence like Seattle do now. Young QBs used to sit behind a veteran an learn the game, Geno cant see a blitz, cant see a WR open, and cant hand the ball off to a running back is confidence must be gone.
Tannehill on 210 yards. If he can air one out I might get the yards but it looks a big ask. Don’t think they’ll risk it.
Apparently he’s playing for his career but if that’s true then what the hell do they do next season? Run the ball every drive?
I suppose it won’t matter if Ryan goes. May get a couple offensive lineman in the draft. They certainly need them.
If Rex is still in a job by black Monday, I wouldn’t be surprised if he went for Nick Foles next season having let the Sanchize go to Phily, who looks like taking Philly to the playoffs.
Playing well Sanchez! Will be a good game against the Seahawks on the weekend. Think the Eagles might come out on top with that hurry up offense.
Tannehill on 235 yards noooooo.
I think like a turkey at Christmas, Rex is done is New York, but don’t know what kind of contract he is on.
Yeah you gotta wonder how the Raiders can keep their coach too but I’m not clued up on management and stuff just yet.
Game over. Well done Geno!
Damn field goal… Joke…what a load of…
Interception coming here
Chief if this goes to overtime, do prop bets carry over?
Jordan, yeah as far as I am aware they settle the bets like a Money line depending on your bookie
OH NO GENO!!!!!! U deliver again :D
Miami over 24.5 points @ 10/11 @ Stan James **LOSE** 16
Prop Bets.
Mike Wallace over 55.5 receiving yards @ 10/11 @ Ladbrokes **WIN** 69
Ryan Tannehill over 240.5 passing yards @ 10/11 @ Skybet **LOSE** 235
Sh*t! Miami win 16-13 with Geno throwing an interception on their last drive. Heard that before.
Well done anyone on the Miller wincast as that was the only winner as far as I can see other than the Wallace yards. Mother effing Jets!
Where the hell are Vegas getting their spreads from? Saints -9.5 in the dome!?
Lions -9.5 against the Bucs
Packers -11.5 against the Falcons
Broncos -10 against the Bills
Miller fell two yards short of his prop, I was calling for Miami to run him more tonight. Wallace 10/11 prop and Miller wincast 13/8 both WON so cant complain with those bets, on a game that was boring to watch.
All aboard Bony tonight :)
Think the Lions might cover that to be honest. Denver have Thomas back supposedly and Sammy Watkins is out for the Bills. Might see that Denver line go up yet! Won’t touch the Saints. Packers -11.5? I’m not so sure? Are Atlanta that bad?
Haha Van Persie Anytime is my main bet tomorrow chief but I’ve got Bony in a trixie with Berahino who has scored twice in two against the Hammers. Swansea team goals and West Brom/West Ham BTTS. 3 singles and that Anytime trixie. Good luck mate I’ll be cheering his thunder thighs on for us!
The following spreads have changed in the first couple of hours of going up on the line and supposedly the sharps have backed the Pats and Texans heavily. Johnny football might be starting for the Browns but it’ll be a tough ask to outscore Luck and co and the -3.5 is generous. Denver will have Thomas back while the Bills rookie WR and main threat Sammy Watson is out. Green Bay are Green Bay and if the spread is that high now it’s only going to get worse as the week goes by.
Indianapolis Colts (-3.5) @ 20/23
Detroit Lions (-9.5) @ 10/11
Denver Broncos (-10.0) @ 10/11
