SCOTLAND are desperate to end a six-match losing streak when they face Italy tonight looking for a boost ahead of next month's Rugby World Cup in England.
Vern Cotter's men put on a decent performance in last week's defeat to Ireland but the coach is acting the tinkerman again with 11 changes to the starting line-up.
The Scots are 8-11 at Stan James in the Rome clash while the Azzurri – who won 22-19 at Murrayfield in this year's Six Nations – are 6-4 at bet365 while the draw pays 20-1 at BetVictor.
World Cup hosts England are also in action with a testing tussle against France in Paris. The English are 10-11 at Ladbrokes with Les Bleus 11-8 at Stan James.
At the F1 Belgian Grand Prix Lewis Hamilton finished second fastest in practice behind team-mate Nico Rosberg and the British driver is 4-7 at Stan James to claim pole in qualifying today, with the German 15-8 at William Hill.
There's also Cincinnati Masters tennis semi-finals plus the likes of cricket and darts taking place on a busy day of sport so post your tips and thoughts here and good luck with your bets.

Murray 6/4….v…. Federer 8/15
Interesting match up this evening in the semi-finals of a tournament, that between them both, they have won 7 times out of the last 8 years (2 and 5 respectively).
Fairly even H2H (12-13) but Murray hasn’t beaten Fed since 2013 (4IAR for Fed). However he hadn’t beaten Djokovic for a while before last week.
Federer will be fresher but Murray has been digging in and getting through matches of late.
Fed has only lost 17 games in his 3 matches to reach the semi-final whilst Murray has lost 39 and been up against a couple of match points (Dimitrov).
Tend to think this is where Murray gets off the bus and goes away to start preparing for the US Open. The odds for Fed aren’t particularly attractive so I’ll be doing some deeper research before settling done ready for some in-play action (but will only bet if I think opportunity presents itself).
Good morning.
One tennis bet:
Federer 2-0 @ 6/4

Nice single again Dazid!
Thanks Dazzler, watched the game on youtube last night quality feed for games they show on it, Mets 7-1 up then 8-8 but all good after that. That was the lowest win/runs price for Mets didn’t look at the other’s with more runs. Good to see Cardinals got the 8 hits for your double as they were on 5 in 7th I think when I finished watching Mets game
Any NFL team news/fancies for the preseason games tonight Jordan/Picksix or anyone?
Love the YouTube streams, no messing about, really reliable and good quality.
Padres on a roll at the moment and Cards are really indifferent, don’t think they’ve git any chance in the post season.
Thought about a padres (on a roll) and giants (Cole struggling to find that win number 15) double today but wasted it on the football instead lol
La Vuelta ,9/5 Quintana ,no stupid mistakes this time 9/5
