SCOTLAND and Wales both head into today's crunch clash at Murrayfield desperate for victory after starting their Six Nations campaigns with a defeat last weekend.
The Scots haven't beaten the Welsh in the last seven attempts and are out to make amends for last year's record 51-3 thrashing. They have improved since then and are 9-5 at 888sport to triumph on home soil this afternoon. The visitors, who must do without star man George North due to concussion, are 8-13 at William Hill for the victory.
At the World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam there's a mouthwatering final in store today as defending champ Tomas Berdych takes on Stan Wawrinka.
Both have been in great over the past week and bookies are struggling to separate them, with Berdych edging favourite status at 4-5 with Skybet and Wawrinka the slight outsider at 11-10 with bet365. Over 2.5 sets holds appeal at 23-18 with Unibet
Ireland play their first match at the 2015 Cricket World Cup tonight when they take on the West Indies in Nelson, New Zealand. The Windies are 1-4 at Ladbrokes with the Irish 7-2 at Sportingbet to claim a shock success.
Elsewhere today there's golf, rugby league and the NBA Allstar game.

Is someone told you last week that you could get Wales -3 against Scotland you simply would not have believed them. I appreciate Scotland are improving and played well against France but one bad half against England does not make Wales the inferior team.
The bookies are usually pretty good with the handicaps as yesterday’s results show but I believe they have got this one wrong.
Wales -3 on the Handicap
Evens @ Sky
As good a bet as you will find
Ant -3 wales means bookies make Scotland the inferior team. This is a match to be avoided and could go either way. If I was to bet on it I’d cover Scotland win 1-5 pts and Wales 1-5 points. Good luck if you’ve backed Wales on the handicap. I’ll be cheering on the boys in blue passionately but would discourage anyone from betting heavily on this match. Coin toss for me.
Early Russian Ice Hockey 4-FOLD:
– Metallurg Novokuznetsk (+2.5) 1.30
– Traktor Chelyabinsk WIN 1.50
– Ermak Angarsk & Draw 1.28
– Lada Togliatti 2 Or Less Team Goals 1.20
4-FOLD pays ODDS of $3.00 (I’ve got a 10’er on to return 30)
Understood ADC, sorry my wordings not great. With the handicap set at the small margin of -3 obviously the bookies believe there’s a fair chance of Scotland winning this game. I don’t believe this to be correct. Scotland are becoming a very good rugby team but are they good enough to beat Wales or stay within 3 points ? Unfortunately not mate.
I appreciate this is a Scottish site so there’s no malice intended, but Wales to win by at least ten for me and possibly a fair few more.
Querrey lost 7-5, 6-7, 6-7. Gutted I wasn’t awake to cover when he went a break up in the third. So close to a 5/2 winner!
Tough luck AD. I was cheering him on for ya! Should have just taken him at +2.5 for slightly less odds…that bet breezed in (ah, hindsight!)
First post from me, been following the tips on this great site for a while and thought it was time I contributed.
Mahut laboured through his first qualification match in Marseille and is too short for his match against Zverev starting in 20 mins or so. Zverev won comfortably against Basilashvili and I fancy him to follow that up with a win here.
Small stake on Zverev to win at 12/5
Alas! Next time. Tonight I feel like over 22.5 games for Nishikori v Anderson is good value @ 8/11. I reckon it will go over 30. 2-1 Nishikori is 3/1 and that just have a good chance too. Id back Anderson straight up of his recent record in finals wasn’t so poor. I don’t trust him not to choke at the key moment.
No offence taken Ant. I’ve watched all four Welsh Pro12 teams live in the last 8 months and barring Ospreys have been very unimpressed. Wales as a squad are under performing and have a one dimensional coach. All be it his gameplan can be very effective when it works. North a massive loss and on club form Cuthbert, Jenkins and one or two others shouldn’t be in squad let alone starting XV. I think Wales will be well contained today and will end up reliant on the fantastic boot of Halfpenny.
I was at the above mentioned massacre in the millennium stadium last year but there is no chance of a repeat. Whoever wins will nick it I feel. Just hoping for a good game and may the best team win. Always my favourite six nations match to attend home or away.
If Wales win by more than ten points I will be amazed. If you give me that handicap I’ll make a bet with you and the loser has to come on and buy our host Mr.F a pint. =)
Enjoy the game.
AD – I’m with you on over 22.5 in Nishi/Anderson game. Anderson made me sweat too much yesterday to back him to win again.
For the Wawrinka/Berdych game, I like OVER 9.5 games in the 1st set @ $1.44.
My Tennis DOUBLE for today:
– OVER 9.5 1st Set Games in Wawrinka/Berdych match $1.44
– OVER 22.5 Total Match Games in Nishikori/Anderson $1.73
DOUBLE pays odds of $2.50. GL!
Tipped Benson Henderson to win last week in the UFC @ 11/10 which prevailed last night but couldn’t get to re post as I was out for the day of valentines (how boring). Anybody have any joy?
Anybody watch the dunk contest last night? Zach LaVine killed it!

Bulldog spirit Wawrinka tames timid Thomas to bring home the 4/1 Tournament win !!!! ;-)
Well done matey! I’m a bit gutted, I checked the score and Berdych was 1 set up and 30-0 on Stan’s serve. I went into the Emirates at the point and couldn’t check in till it was over!I managed to cover my stake but that was it. What’s the story of the match. Berdy lose his intensity and quality or Stan just stepped it up?
Ad
funny one in that Berdych looked the master to me anyway, Warwrinka could’nt match him on serve and Berdych seemed to win almost ever 1st point on Wawrinkas serve and loads of love-30 on Warwrinkas serve or so it seemed,
I would say Berdych is wondering how he actually lost it.
Ss92, no as you would have got a push at most bookmakers.

Hya Mrcrab that’s been good picking on the NHL thanks for the tips.’
No problem thares good value in the nhl for accas
Depends if it’s 3 way or 2 way handicap. I think it was 3 way going by the price and the sport.
looking forward to the all star game tonight
Me too Mr Fish should be an exhibition!
Monday tennis;
Stakhovsky d Rosol
Venus d Bencic
Double pays 1.94 w PP
Brown d Karlovic @ 2/1
Pavlyuchenkova d Pliskova @ 6/4
Tuesday tennis:
Paul Henri Mathieu d Benoit Paire @ 21/22
Ad, are you suggesting making a 5-fold of these too?
Or chances for them all to land are too short?
Not expecting to have much luck, but For a bit of added interested this week ‘m also going to try:
Venus to win Dubai @ 15/1
Begu to win Rio @ 7/1
Van Uytvank to win Rio @ 25/1
Those are all suggested as singles apart from the double. But by all means stick them in a 5-fold if you want to! I have for v small stakes
I’m also on Vesely to beat Fognini @ 1/1 but it’s hard to be too confident with they pick
Mlac I agree on the West but it’s not a game I’d put money on. It’s a game for spectating.
terrible saturday for me, predicted 8 football games but lost everything as i thought rose @ points and thatch were givens!
all over west to win tonight.
20/33
-3 10/11
Stephen Curry MVP 4/1
U301 Total 10/11 cos its just ridiculous lol.
Also taking U75 1st Quarter and look to play overs in-play on Q2 and Q3 if line is no higher than 75.
WN have you not seen the totals the past few years mate? Each team will have over 140 points. Good luck mate.
Put 200 on west indies at 87/5 at 6/5 odds. So theyr now 304
Have a feeling ireland are going to make me sweat. We are 9/2. Surely early doors when ireland lose wickets and are 59/3 I can cover at 50/1 a tenner. Then when they get to 250/7 into last 5 overs I wont care but finish 284 all out
This is some showcase early on!!
0% defense going on and 100% playing for the crowd. 81 in the first with a minute to go. That is why this is a speculation game. Some amazing plays!
Only a bit of fun mate, like I said i’m backing/backed 2Q and 3Q over so i’ll probably break even at this rate.
Wasn’t aiming that at you WN just posting as it happens mate.
I think your overs will be coming in in each quarter mate. No defending whatsoever haha
I think your overs will be coming in in each quarter mate. No defending whatsoever haha
Yeah think he got the record in a half with 7 minutes to go haha, kind of wishing I went on the West spread but early days yet. Just enjoying the show with a beer or five.
