THE stars are out in force for snooker's inaugural Gibraltar Open which takes centre stage this weekend.
Judd Trump tops the title betting at 11-2 with Stan James closely followed by world No.1 Mark Selby, a 6-1 chance at Coral.
In-form John Higgins (12-1, bet365) and world champ Stuart Bingham (16-1, Skybet) will also have high hopes of glory on the Rock where today's first round features recent UK Championship runner-up Liang Wenbo.
The Chinese cueman is 8-11 favourite at bet365 in his battle with Matthew Stevens, chalked up at 6-4 by Stan James, and the likes of Selby, Luca Brecel and Stephen Maguire are also in action.
Elsewhere today there's a busy night of NBA action with unbeaten reigning champs Golden State Warriors putting their 23-game winning start to the season on the line at Boston Celtics.
Other sporting highlights include cricket and tennis so let's hear all your tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly

Well done to any winners
A board random select to pass the nightshift away.
Nets -3…win
Bulls +9.5…win
Hawks +15.5…win
kings -2…void
Arizona Cardinals H/L M/L..void

Oh so nearly a win/void passed the time tho
£25 returned £57 ..should of been more
Think we got plenty of winners last night on a very “poor” show tbh… all games going under :D
December stats starting to look very good.

Nice work Oriaz! Killing it in December
Well done all, another poor night from me going to start following you guys for a few days!
Last night proved y you really need to watch bball inplay . I went big on kings -6 vs knicks.
When 19 i cashed out with 115 profit.
Wish id done my nets -7 but not greedy.
Last bet b4 xmas tonight
Its a CRACKER… IM DOING THE WHOLE 365 FROM LAST NIGHT..
and i only bet on games im up for..
We’re the Kings up by 19 at one point? They let down my double with the Nets
They were up 19 somewhere at the end of the 3rd, they slowed down in the 4th and Knicks were pushing to take it to overtime.
I posted the nets -7 looked good
Should of been on them .
Rondo, Kings hold off late Knicks rally
Rajon Rondo had a near triple-double of 16 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds as the Kings nearly blew a 19-point lead in a 99-97 win over the Knicks.
HUNTER , cska moscow -15.5 vs darussafaka looks good ?
That’s a tough one Huggy. Huge difference in quality here and it wouldn’t surprise me if the covered the spread. What concerns me is that CSKA have underperformed on a few occasions in the Euroleague, namely against Sassari who are about the same level as Darussafaka. They just managed to scape a win there. CSKA will win this but for me it’s a bit risky on the spread.
I actually think the first quarter Darussafaka +5.5 looks tempting. Darussafaka will know they need to start well to have any chance and they could cover this. Not sure if I’m keen on either though. Small stakes advised mate.
Looks like cska would have landed , and so would your 1/4 shout , that`s the way the cookie bounces..

Neptunas @ Nevezis (16:00GMT)
Surprise package Nevezis take on Neptunas today. Nevezis have impressed me this season and both these teams go into this with 5 wins and 7 losses. Neptunas are by far the better side and they’ve shown this in recent games between the two. I was originally tempted to take Neptunas on the spread but I think the bookies have got this right and don’t really see much value there. Where the value is for me is with the overs because even though Nevezis are underdogs here they should be able to score a lot of points and I would expect Neptunas to do the same.
Neptunas / Nevezis: Total Points – Over 154.5 points @ 17/20 William Hill – 1.2pts staked.
Good luck.
I’m on this mate good luck!
David Johnson (Arizona Cardinals) Over 72.5 Rushing Yards @ 20/23 @ 365 – 4.6 points **WIN** 92
Arizona Cardinals Over 26.5 Team Points @ 10/11 @ Boyles – 2.2 points **LOSE** 23
Surprised at how well the Vikings played to be honest. Think that was Teddys best game of his career but at the all important moment he tried too hard and lost it for them by getting sacked and fumbling with no timeouts and no time on the clock.
Early thoughts for the nba can anyone see a potential problem with this treble thinking of taking the Raptors GSW and Thunder on the money line I really fancy all 3 to win and it pays just under 2/1
Will post a footy treble whilst waiting for the nba just going small stakes on this hopefully be able to use the winnings tonight!
Heerenveen over 2.5 match
Mainz over 1.5 team
Genk over 1.5 team
4/1
Possibly my worst ever bet that! Hope no one followed it
The fight everyone has been waiting for tomorrow. Very surprised to see that Aldo is the underdog! I think I’ll be all over Aldo to win at over evens. Will probably have a small punt on him to win by TKO/KO etc at 12/5. Gonna do a bit more research but that’s what I’m thinking at the moment.
Completely agree with you Gunner. Its amazing how many people will jump on a bandwagon just because of a mouth. His hardest opponent has been Chad Mendes, who he had a huge reach and height advantage over. Aldo is p4p one of if not the best MMA fighter in the world. Certainly shouldn’t be the underdog in my opinion.
Glad you agree Jordan, thought I was missing something. Don’t get me wrong I got mad respect for Conor cause he has backed up all the talk so far and is a great fighter but yeh Aldo is pure class and the best p4p fighter out there. Gonna be a crazy fight either way and can’t wait!
Oklahoma City Thunder Over 104 Team Points @ 10/11 @ Marathon Bet – 2.2 points
agreed gunner.
i can’t forget that conner was being smashed by a tiny guy with no training camp, aldo has been the champ….nearly 10 years?
thing is, aldo looks 2 weight divisions smaller…
other value picks this weekend.
Rockhold 11/10
Yoel romero 6/5
Erokhin (v gonzaga) 20/21
boxing
Masternek 10/3 (v Bellew)
Luke cambell points 6/5
Roy jones Jnr KO 13/8
thoughts ufc/boxing peeps?
Going to have a look at the weigh ins later mulac. See how calm Aldo looks. I really don’t like the McGregor style. Too much showbiz and mouth. Mental warfare which I don’t agree with.
I’ve seen Romero has got a lot of backing Mulac. Can see a knockout coming for sure (but could go either way). Such a great card all round. Enjoy the fights bro
Would stay well away from Roy Jones JR,
NAP Eubank Points victory over Spike o Sullivan 7/2 BOXING
Eubank hasnt knocked out anybody of note out and was lucky to get a TKo verus Chudinov who didnt even try to hit him back, ref stopped it in 12th more out of sympathy for Chud.
Also Eubank has no KO on his record only TKO which does make a difference considering the opposition he has faced ,
Eubank will win, has much more talent then o sullivan, o sullivan has some power and eubank will probably opt to box instead of getting into a war,
will decide stake depending on how much i win over tonight but will have at least 5 points on , if my cuurent accum comes off I will be putting 18 points on, so I am confident..
cheeky 2 points on Mitchell to lose by knockout, above bet & bellew to lose on points , returns over £3600.00, bellew hasnt fought a real CW, kevin mitchell is a liability so there is a chance that this long shot could come off.

Good luck.
—————–
Neptunas done their part but Nevezis decided to have a day off! Should have gone with my initial thought with Neptunas on the spread. Hindsight is an annoying thing.
Euroleague Basketball
Milano @ Cedevita (18:00GMT)
Cedevita -2.5 @ 20/23 – Boylesport – 2pts staked.
Good luck!
No time for a write-up but Gentila won’t play for Milan and I think that Cedevita at home is able to defeat a struggling Milano.

Lads you do know Klay Thompson is a game time decision right?
Mate he seems more likely to get rest time tonight.
Thats y i stayed away
Almost forgot about him going over on his ankle at the end of the last game.
That’s pretty huge for the warriors if he’s out!
The reason im chucking £25 at the celtics # daft i know
Shumpert will play for the Cavs. Kyrie should be playing fairly soon too. Their troubles will disappear soon.
Shumpert .. the fresh prince
Cant wait to see irving back
Fresh Prince hahahaha
I wasn’t aiming it at anyone but saw there were a few on the Warriors. He offers a lot more than just shooting too. Great defender. Would be against DeRozan too…
Sorry. Bradley. Not sure why I though they were playing the Raptors.
Rajon Rondo has been suspended by the NBA for one game for directing a derogatory and offensive term towards an official and not leaving in a timely matter.
He was ejected for this offense back on Dec. 3, so the league took a lot of time to make this decision. The microphones at the game picked up some of the foul language, so this isn’t a big surprise. The Kings are off until Tuesday, so Rondo won’t be playing against the Rockets for that game. Darren Collison will be starting.
Thompson will NOT play.
Steph Curry Over 31.5 points @ 5/6 @ PP – 1.2 points
Avery Bradley should get his 15 without Thompson playing too. I’m taking Steph as they’ll need a big night from him to stay unbeaten.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Green get his 13 too. Probably all worth the same stake.
Sorry for the late post. Thanks for sharing all theses infos Jordan, very usefull.
It’s probably right to keep Thompson out, I mean it’s only the start of the season, keeping the win record alive is nice but keeping their squad healthy during the whole season should be the mean focus.
Picks for today:
– Suns -4
– Raptors ML, Pacers ML (double @ evens)
– Challenge Bet 4: Magics +10.5 (22 returns 28.5)
Small bucks long shot Acca for tonight shot an why not.
Easy on the $s on a Friday for the weekend ?
Thunder ML
Raptors Ml
GSW ML
Magic +7
Pacers +1.5
Pelicans + 3.5
GSW v Celtics over 208
Pays a ball hair over 11/1
GL Folk ?
Warriors @ Celtics game, I’ve locked in the Under 215 in light of the news on Thomson.. good bet imo.
Dropped to 214 since (in some places) get it quick…
Just watched the weigh ins for tomorrow night. Aldo didn’t look phased one bit. Gave it just as much as McGregor tried to. Thing is with this fight, they could face each other 100 times and both win 50 each. Not a chance it goes the distance.
Jose Aldo by KO, TKO, Disqualification or Submission holds value @ 12/5 @ 365, and you could pick the same for McGregor at another firm and probably earn a few quid. Can’t see it going 5 round though.
A market that doesn’t show up much which I think is a strange price is will they touch gloves ‘NO’ @ a ridiculous 7/4 @ PP
McGregoor has told him ‘you will die’ in Brazilian in their press conference in Rio, his hometown, snatched his belt off him at another press conference. IF they do touch then fair enough, Aldo is a good sportsman. But I know if I had taken this much grief from McGregor for so long I would not be touching gloves. Two points for interest.
Here we go again
Magic game over 187.5
Memphis game over 183.5

Boston Celtics H/T ML 33/20 365
Celtics HT/Warriors FT 17/4 365
Ol Reggie so inconsistent. 11 points in the first quarter today. Suppose its against Philly though.
Bradley 9
Green 5
Curry 3
Good start for the scorers. Curry a bit off mind.
Lol Bradley is a void at the worst in 7 minutes. Hell of a first quarter. Win streak at risk.
Couldn’t find Reggies points overs on Paddy today, was only assists I think
In play is made for this…
Orlando Magic +12.5 …5/6
Hopefully get losses back on picking them lol
His points would have been there mate.
Lol to touch gloves is now 8/11 @ PP :D
Lol to touch gloves is now 8/11 @ PP :D
Warriors half time just made it over the 1st line now for the finish line.
How did that foul get on Curry when he was just stood there?
I can’t resist as I love there play at the minute.

That call on Curry was a joke he wasn’t even close to the ball!
not just that call, it’s call after call, they even gave celtics 3 three throws when they missed their first at one point…i mean wtf?
game is clearly rigged.
You’re off your head mulac hahaha
Curry is just too good, a few of his 3s tonight have been insane!
Thompson will NOT play.
Steph Curry Over 31.5 points @ 5/6 @ PP – 1.2 points **WIN**
Avery Bradley should get his 15 without Thompson playing too. I’m taking Steph as they’ll need a big night from him to stay unbeaten.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Green get his 13 too. Probably all worth the same stake.
All three landed :)
