IT'S week four of the Premier League darts tonight and the only player with a perfect record so far is dazzling Dutchman Michael van Gerwen.
The bold MVG beat world champ Gary Anderson last week and followed it up with his third UK Open qualifier win of the year, taking his record to an incredible 39 wins from his last 40 matches.
Tonight in Belfast the Dutchman faces Adrian Lewis, who on his game is a match for the best. Jackpot is available at a chunky 16-5 with Sportingbet and the draw is priced up at 19-4 at 888sport. But van Gerwen's current form is too good to ignore and I'm on him at 8-13 with Coral.
James Wade is the only other unbeaten player – with two draws and a win so far – but I fancy Anderson to end that record tonight. The Flying Scotsman is 10-11 at William Hill against the Englishman (12-5, Betfair), with the draw 4-1.
Phil Taylor has been back to his imperious best in recent weeks and can rack up another victory at 2-5 with Boylesports when he faces struggling Peter Wright.
Kim Huybrechts v Dave Chisnall looks like being a tight affair and Stephen Bunting takes on Raymond van Barneveld who's still searching for his first win after chucking away a huge lead to draw with Wright last week.
There's also BDO World Trophy first-round action today with the likes of Martin Adams and Tony O'Shea on the oche.
On the tennis front it's another busy day with ATP and WTA matches from Dubai, Doha and Acapulco and plenty of stars on show.
There's also the likes of golf, cricket and NBA so let's hear your sporting tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
Scott's darts treble
Van Gerwen win
Taylor win
Anderson win
(3.2-1, William Hill)
In December 2020 we sadly 
The rolling acca fell flat on it’s face so i’ll be shelving that for now, but with 5/2, 17/10 and a 6/1 upsets winning in the last 48 hours i’ll be persevering with the underdogs.
Suarez Navarro d Kvitova @ 7/4
Kvitova was as up and down in the set she played against Jankovic today as she was in Dubai, and CSN is steady as a rock of late. She’s in fine form and if Kvitova keeps bringing the errors to play she will get punished again. The courts aren’t super fast here so that should help as well.
Renzo Olivo d Tommy Robredo @ 14/5.
Robredo’s results this year suggest he is some way from his best. He’s only played four matches and that might explain why he hasn’t found his rhythm yet, and he may get better with every match, but his 6-3, 6-2 loss to Haider Maurer last week will give Olivo hope. As will Olivo’s fine form, and the fact he beat Robredo 2-0 last year in their first ever meeting. The crowd will be well up for this and right behind their man, and i see no reason why he can’t score another upset and notch up his 10th claycourt win of the year. Robredo has just 1.
Keep it up Ad – great prices well done pal
Puig v Errani starts in a couple and i’ll risk the Puerto Rican @ 6/4 for some nightime entertainment (Hopefully longer than Arguello offered v Nadal!) Not seen her play for a while, but Errani is vulnerable on hard court and Puig beat her easily on the grass at wimbledon back when she was a nipper in 2013. 2-0 is 3/1.
Rockets
Celtics
Hawks
Wolves
Bulls
In-play 5/1
Berlocq d Fognini @ 8/5
Fog coming off a big week- no idea how he’s going to respond here. Berlocqs seems to have put in an impressive first round performance and he is good enough to punish a slightly off-it Fog. 2-0 is 19/5 and tempting.
Puig wins it 6-1, 6-1.
Next!
top stuff Ad
Nice bet there Ad.
Bulls letting me down on the 5-fold, 3 of em romp home while Rocket looking solid.
Make that 4 romps and a pile of Bull from the Bulls.
Celtic -4.5
Sixers +18.5
Jazz -2
@ just under EVS @ 365 **LOSE**
Another 4th quarter comeback downs the bet. Jazz started 11 points ahead to lose 100-97. Posted cover on the other thread at the start of the 4th @ 9/2 but that obviously helps nobody. Apologies if you followed.
I had the celtics -10.5 ; hell of a 2nd half.
your treble , they can become the best bets ..
9/2 covering an evens treble . yes please
had btts no and my crappy arsenal stuffed me
Cheers Huggy mate I’ve hit some form but been let down a couple times this week. Yeah the addition of Thomas from the Suns has been key for the Celtics. Cavs/Warriors tomorrow. Big game!
What do you reckon on this?
Cavs/GSW over 206.5
Suns/OKC over 207.5
Slightly under 9/10 @ Skybet
looks a great shout . I’ll have a go on that later .

Excellent tipping guys! Especially AD for the 6/1 on Harrison, i must say i chickened out and did him +4.5 in a double with Afghanistan so still nice little profit. Was in my cot so didnt see your tip for Puig, i half fancied an upset myself but didnt follow through, if id seen your tip i probably would have!
Thanks again
Thanks Juan, well done on the double. Hopefully everyone on here will hit another winner or two today. Good luck folks.
Nice one Harry, although the batsmen bet didn’t come in my larger stake was on straight win double of Ireland & Afghanistan!
Hi Huggy mate, how’s things? NBA been doing me in lately so focusing elsewhere. Aussie Rules starts up soon and i profit nicely year after year on it so I’ll mainly be posting tips for that in a couple weeks. How did your kitchen turn out in the end?
mate its quality , well worth having it done , been up and down with the nba , that roll we went on was unbelievable when you think about it , jordans taken over and posted some safe bets.
been unlucky with last minute goals and missed pens but its all good fun , must say i`m looking forward to your aussie rules tips and i`m onboard for sure , been following the tips silently and hopefully will have time to contribute.
No worries Alex, the batsman bet was disappointing but luckily managed to get that back by backing Ireland in play at 4/5 then at 5/1. Hopefully a few others got on too as they were 2/1 and 3/1 for most of it!
Renwick cheers, going very well so far, I’ll post a summary a bit later. I’ll find my tips from yesterday’s thread and stick them here mate

Well … very bad night for me last night.
Was very confident about several teams and lost this weeks benefits :(
Will follow tips here and hope to make it all up.
Monaco to beat Cuevas @ 1/1 tomorrow has to be a decent bet. He’s been superb so far and looks seriously fired up for this event. He is serving at an average of 80% 1st serve accuracy so far this week and winning an average of 70% of those points. As mentioned last night I’m on him to win the title and he is available @ 17/1 now.
Backing Murray 6-0, 6-1, both sets and 6-2 with enough to cover the stakes. A technical matchup favourable enough for scorelines like that to happen if Murray is really playing well. Low stakes of course.
Good solid tennis tipping from Ad.
Carefully chosen in-form outsiders is the way to go atm.
Acapulco offers more possibilities to look into. These three are candidates but I haven’t seen enough tennis lately to make an informed judgement.
Troicki to beat Anderson 11/8
Harrison to beat Karlovic 6/4
Dolgopolov to beat Nishikori 3/1
Anderson and Karlovic have played a lot of tennis of late and this can be a positive or negative. In todays matches they come up against hungry in-form players. Harrison has 4-2 tiebreak record in 2015 whilst Karlovic is 8-9.
In fact a bet to be considered is over 24.5 games 8/11 @ bet365.
Perhaps better value is over 2.5 sets at 11/8 with same bookie.
It appears we were all winners on the Ireland game
Got a nice suprise email from 888 sport this morning saying that because the game was won in the final over they are refunding all losing bets as cash and will be doing for the whole tournament.
Top marks to 888sport and worth bearing in mind cricket punters!
Ad
Coric has a decent serve and IMO Murray will have to go some to keep him to so little games.
I don’t remember his serve being that much of a weapon. But the last time i saw him play was against Stakhovsky and that might be influencing me!! Just a small stakes punt. Murray is capable of those scorelines if he plays his best tennis.
Good stuff James.
I fancy Anderson to beat Troicki. It could go the other way if Anderson is tired, like you say, but the price doesn’t really entice me.
Harrison to beat Karlovic is definitely one worth considering. Ivo must be tired, and Harrison’s playing well, but he does keep finding a way to play himself out of trouble.
Dolgopolov is tempting me a little @ 3/1. I think he could push Kei really close if he plays like he has in his best four sets this week and makes a large number of first serves. Kei is truly world class when he’s playing well though and I assume he’s been playing well so far this week. Not actually seen him though. Dolgopolov does have the weapons to hurt him, so it could be worth a little risk.
Coric looks pretty switched on. Murray will win this 2-0 but might have been a bit ambitious with the whitewash scorelines!
Coric is no dozer
Hes a future star in the making, and not fazed one bit about playing against big names.
Defiantly no whitewash id say
Yep, Coric has a lot of potential. At this stage in his career I just thought there was a decent chance Murray would school him as he does everything better when he’s playing well. Everything better apart from concentrate and keep your head apparently!
The second set may see Murray have a better chance of a one-sided scoreline.
Just switched the game on and it appears windy.
Murray isn’t playing well enough for this to be a blowout. He needed to bring his very best for that to happen. It definitely could be if he was on it. It’s not a good matchup for Coric.
Bottomline Murray isn’t a player you can rely on and is prone to going AWOL in matches, or parts of matches.
Agreed. That’s why I won’t touch him other than at really long odds. I’m annoyed i didn’t get on Coric at 25/1 prematch. I just didn’t think he’d have the game to hurt Murray. But i should’ve recalled the Gilles Simon match recently. Simon was a wall and just made Murray beat himself. Coric is doing exactly the same.
I really hope Murray bloody sorts it out and wins this fairly comfortably. I’ve been waiting to back against him this week as I’m certain he will get dumped out, but this was not the match it was supposed to happen in.
gone for Coric 6-1 in play @ 22/1….looking much more likely!
Ad u genuis!!! I got on at 7/1 jus cus of ur post!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts
haha no wories. Hopefully you didn’t see my earlier thoughts on 6-1 Murray! Come on Coric, lets tear him apart again to bring some more bacon in.
well that 6-1 in play was a nice little earner after my shocking pre match bets. getting on coric 0, 1, and 2 now as well. Much better odds! and much more likely the way this is going.
Well done with the 6-1 !!
Just shows you how tennis can present opportunities.
I put a quid on Coric to break to love (40-1) in the final game and AM went and won a point at 0-40 !!
Coric has won 20 from 22 points on serve !!!

And now he’s got cramp haha typical I got him at good odds as well and I think it’s murrays for the taking now obviously hopefully not
Ad……
Where is tat monaco match at tomorrow u tipped cant find it ??
Murray will win 2-0. Ha. Belter Ad. Just shows you eh…. Nothing is a cert!
Couldn’t have been more wrong! Murray’s shocker came a round earlier than I anticipated. Still, made a killing on Coric, and I’ll take calling a match in play right over calling it right in advance any day if it makes me money!
Coric just needs to get a break, he’s been close a few times. He will close it out if he does. The longer it goes on the more you have to fancy Murray.
brian, excellent results mate, i started with £2.50 stake and before todays bet £91.52 in my account,
small amount compared to some people on here but
profit is profit, thanks and good luck, keep it going following you all the way
Good Stuff Red
Glad to see mate !
I need to stop betting in between my pick and loosing my good work lol
OMG ….CANT BELIEVE I JUST WON $34 with $2 loose change…thank U coric
Should i put $2 on stakhovsky
Murray got whupped
congrats sllasvultton! Crazy result. Stranger things have happened than Stakhovsky winning, but Berdych did thump him here last year and should be too good for him. You never know though. I’m going to stick my loose change on Rybarikova to beat Sharapova @ 10/1 tomorrow.
Ad,
Just went through the thread to gather your tips:
– Monaco to beat Cuevas @ 1/1
– Suarez Navarro d Kvitova @ 7/4
– Renzo Olivo d Tommy Robredo @ 14/5
Anything else left to play I’m should follow you on? :D
Borna Coric, take a bow son! I took him last night on William Hill @ 9/1 pre-match. He’s the modern-day equivalent of Nadal at the same;brings such resilience, tenacity and natural ability to the court.
IMO, worth backing him every time he steps onto a court against any of the big guns.
That’s about it Oriaz.
Though I’m also toying with the idea of backing Petkovic to beat Safarova @ 21/10. She’s done well against her in the past and Safarova is prone to the odd wobble deeper in tournaments. She was very good behind serve against Makarova though and her extra power could be too much. Im weighing that up against the pressure Petkovic will put her under by making her play another shot every time and how she will respond to it. Hmmmm. Think I’ll risk it. Low stakes though as Safarova could 2-0 this if she is really on it.
*of Nadal at the same age
Pls who tinks venus can win this match
Doubtful IMO mate, although she might take this first set.. She’s 34 now and past her prime, against a player that’s on the up-and-up.
**TIP** Back against Venus if she wins this first set.
-JJ
I was thinking Radwsnaka pre-match. Didn’t touch it though. Venus has too much game for Aga if she plays a really good, clean match. Aga is relentless enough to break her down if her level dips even a little though. Too hard to call.
These courts also aren’t the fastest out there. If they were a little quicker I’d probably have gone for Venus.
Thanks JJ,Ad….TOOK Venus to win …now she has won the first set….how do i cover and still find myself in profit?
Any tips on super league tonight
Premier League Darts week 4
I like the look of this weeks card, hopefully there should be plenty of winning punters. I’m on:
Van Gerwin vs Lewis, Van Gerwin win
Anderson vs Wade, Anderson Win
Taylor vs Wright, Taylor win
Scott’s darts treble 2.88/1
Van Gerwin vs Lewis, Van Gerwin win
Anderson vs Wade, Anderson most 180’s
Taylor vs Wright, Taylor win
2.10/1
Huybrechts v Chisnel, Huybrechts +2.5
Anderson vs Wade, Anderson Win
Van Gerwin vs Lewis, Van Gerwin win
2.17/1
Van Gerwin vs Lewis, Van Gerwin win
Anderson vs Wade, Anderson Win
1.82/1
Singles
Van Gerwin vs Lewis, Van Gerwin win 4/7
Anderson vs Wade, Anderson Win 4/5
Van Barneveld vs Bunting, highest checkout Van Barneveld 5/6
Lewis has gone off the boil since registering an 114 average in week 1 and against MVG any poor visit or pulled dart will be punished.
Anderson is playing the best darts of his career right now, hitting maximums prolically and playing with a high level of consistency. It would take a James Wade at the top of his game deny Anderson here, something which I personally dont think will happen.
Barney has shown previously that he can take out big finishes such as the 170, 161 and has proven time and time again that he is deadly on shaghai. He should win the highest checkout with Bunting
Last week Huybrechts got his 1st point on the board as he earned a draw against James Wade. Similarly I think the match with Chisnel will also be quite a close affair so the +2.5 handicap market for him is wise move.
GL if you follow.
Money in the bag….Good one Venus.W
Ahhh gutted, had Venus 6-1 and 6-2 Venus @ 20/1 third set. Luckily had her to win the match @ 2/1 too. Why she was so long going into the third I don’t know.
ARHH…..Ad whats next please…WANT TO BE ON YOUR TIPS
The next match i’ve tipped is Carla Suarez Navarro to beat Petra Kvitova. Currently 9/5. A bit of a risky one as it relies on Kvitova continuing to play erratically, and if she suddenly puts in a clean performance it might be hard for CSN, but I’ve seen enough from Kvitova recently to suggest she will probably still be hitting a large number of errors, and I’m hoping CSN plays like she has been recently and can take advantage.
Oriaz …….where is the suarez navarro game plz???
Snuck a 6-1 Federer first set bet in there, good boy Gasquet for retiring just afterwards! Set betting really doing the business today. Well done to everyone/anyone on Venus. Pleased to see her notch another good win. Surely she’ll be exhausted come the next round.
Suarez Navarro v Kvitova is in Doha, Qatar.
Ad/Ellis/Anyone! – any thoughts on Azarenka v Wozniacki, tempted for Azarenka but not sure how she has been playing this week and how fit she is?
Ad, any set score betting on Djoko?
Sorry mate seen this late. I’m on 6-0 @ 14/1 but just for two quid. Tried to put 6-1 on as well but missed the decent odds. Might go 6-0, 6-1 second set, we shall see
Afternoon Guys, Darts
Huybrechts v Chisnall
A must win game for Kim tonight and its a tough one to call. Chisnall has won the last six meetings between although they have tended to be very close. Kim is averaging 93.70 to Chizzy 92.99. A draw wouldn’t surprise me here. I’m taking Huybrechts on the + 1.5 handicap. It is 10/11 Sporting bet.
HUYBRECHTS +1.5 HANDICAP 10/11
Anderson v Wade
I expect the world champ to bounce back from last weeks loss, where poor doubling cost him any chance of a result. Wade will get outscored so will need to rely on his checkouts and his line is set at 97.5 and I expect him to take out at least a ton+ so I’m on the over at 5/6 Coral.
The other bet I like in this game is Anderson -1 on the 180s handicap. Wade as only hit two maximums in 3 weeks, I think Gary may get 4 so Wade will have to hit more tonight that he as all tournament. Anderson will have the throw, so Wade will always be playing catch up if Anderson breaks him early he may coast to victory meaning only a couple of maximums may be required to land the bet. It is 6/5 Skybet.
WADE O97.5 CHECKOUT 5/6
ANDERSON -1 TO HIT MORE 180s 6/5
Bunting v Van Barneveld
A tough game to call this one. They have only met twice before with RVB winning both and we remember that epic quarter final he won at the world championships. Bunting needs to pick up a win having struggled so far in the premier league. RVB look sensational in the first half of his match last week going 5-1 up before blowing it. Like the first game a draw wouldn’t surprise me here, I do think it will be close so 7-5 either way, so instead I am taking we go the distance. Over 11.5 legs is 6/5 Skybet. If it does go the distance then O5.5 maximums looks very gettable 4/6.
O11.5 TOTAL LEGS IN THE MATCH 6/5
O 5.5 TOTAL 180s IN THE MATCH 4/6
Double Tops
Phil Taylor should win quite easily against an out of form Peter Wright, who continually changes his darts week after week. Taylor also won on the tour at the weekend, he is too short as a single that’s why I’m adding the world Champion Gary Anderson. Anderson started well last week but MVG is on a whole different level at the moment. Anderson will outscore Wade and if he takes out his doubles this week it can take him over the line in a close game. Double pays 1.45/1 Skybet
TAYLOR AND ANDERSON BOTH TO WIN 1.45/1
It always worth having loose change on a couple of bets that give you interest in every leg. A nine darter is 10/1 sportingbet and a 170 checkout is 4/1 with the same firm.
Good luck if your having a bet
For Huggy!

No sweat, I got on 6-0 @7/2 during 2nd game, he can’t get the ball over the net, watch him break Novak after me saying that :)
Damn. Just my luck for missing out on the 6-1!
Backed 6-1 second set @ 4/1 but that’s it. Odds no good anymore
He might get one or 2 more games, serving ok
Forgot to add for anyone who missed it im also on Berlocq d fognini @ 8/5 and Berlocq 2-0.
DNB Anderlecht looks good value. I think they can pull it off, 3€ on it, returns will be 9.90€
My balance is 135€ but i’m betting small amounts!
As of tomorrow I’m away for 8 days so won’t be able to post anything. Going to spend a while looking through the cricket fixtures and post things in advance but a lot of the decent markets aren’t available until closer to the game so I won’t find much. Found a long shot to start with though

Baddaboom! Cheers Novak. When Illan won the first game of the set I did wonder whether Novak had 6 in a row in him. Yea he did!
Cheers Huggy all the best mate. Can’t wait for tonights NBA! The Cavs game more so but Phoenix/Thunder will be a high scorer too. I hope ;) Off out for a bit so I’ll be back late on tonight. Good luck with your bets gents.
Oh dear Ad, are you trying to get a catchphrase going like the famous H? Haha, well done mate.
Yes mate. What do you think? Does it need a bit more work? How about WHHHAAAMMMY!
Uhoh, Kvitovas turned up!
Adpreet
Gna have to back a second set 6-0, 6-1 kvitova. She’s in the mood I’m sorry to say. 22/1 and 8/1.
Obv that’s just loose change. I’m still rooting for Kvitova to lose it and a CSN win
Why kvitova
Berlocq is smashing it. 6-3, 3-0 up. 11/1 on Fognini if anyone wants to cover. I’m gna ride it out myself
Hmmm…..shes on it…go suarez! Just a set please….and it will be money in the bank
Navaro 6-1, 6-2 in the 3rd Ad? What do you think? She’s really turning it around.
Blaaaady hell, I backed Berlocw 6-0 and Navarro 6-0 as well as Kvitovs but only posted her on here as it seemed the most likely. Surely they won’t both land a bagel?!
God knows Oriaz, I’ve not been watching! Crazy stuff though. Anything could happen as far as im concerned, but go with your gut if you fancy it. If Kvitovas lost it she might not get it back. Then again she might flick the switch…
Not gonna get greedy!
Already won Berlocq and Berlocq 2-0, if Navarro wins I’ll be happy :D
Can suarez go on to win this ?
She’s serving first so I reckon 6-0, 6-1 and 6-2 are worth a go @ 50/1, 14/1, 14/1. I’ll just be happy if she wins though, whatevr the score!
Navarro….happy days Ad.
Where you going Harry
Hope people on Navarro covered at 4-0 up and serving! Kvitova ombacknon serve out of nothing
Kvitova making a comeback now …
Get in there! Disappointed to miss out on the 6-0 but you can’t have it all! I was so complacent I didn’t cover CSN….wouldve been cursing muself all night if she’d gone on and lost it! Ah well, another underdog gets the job done. Happy days
Do I go with Petkovic @ 2/1?! F*ck it, why not.
Lowering stakes as im not as confident in her cances as I was in CSN/Berlocqs. And Safarova has played some great stuff lately. Hoping for an off day. She does sometimes throw those in when it gets to quarter final time.
add great work on CSN, Kvitova threw it away twice as preview. got some 11/2 1-0 down, when in at evens take more 11/2. silly gambling paid.
whammy
haha, well played mate. Just relieved it went to script.
France skiing. I won’t miss much by looks of the fixtures there’s not too much value. you on anything tonight? Can see it being big scores
Navarro….have been winning from her job…love her
Leeds v Huddersfield super league rugby
after last weekends disappointing effort in the World Club challenge its time for our inferior boys to get back to league action. Normally this would be taking Leeds on handicap as Huddersfield have really struggled so far this season and are without a couple of big players like Robinson and Grix. On other hand leeds have been flying and are pretty club to full strength. Only thing putting me off Leeds is the head to head between the 2 sides and already this seems like a must win for Huddersfield after 2 defeats in 2. Therefore my one bet tonight is
Danny Mguire to score anytime 2/1 with Sky Bet
Glad it was low stakes for Petkovic, she’s struggling big time. Knew i was just getting carried away by the upset train! My attentions for the day are now on Olivo v Robredo in Argentina at Midnight.
So I said i’m just focussing on Olivo for the rest of the evening, but I can’t resist another bet.
Karantantcheva to beat PUig @ 5/2 (Acapulco, 22:00)
Lucky losers always seem to end up going on ludicrously deep runs. Just look at Borna Coric! Since losing in qualifying karatantcheva hasn’t dropped a set as she progressed through rounds 1 and 2. Puig is a good player and put in a great performance to beat Errani 6-1, 6-1, but that’s a favourable matchup for Puig on this surface. She can’t outpower Karatantcheav in the same way, and with nothing to lose, and with Puig coming off the back of a great win over a top player, she may have a mental edge. If Puig can replicate her last round performance then she will most likely win, as the bookies clearly think she will. But that’s far from a given, and Karatantcheva can do some damage if she uses her experience, plays a solid match and really goes after the young Puerto Rican.
Nice, have fun. Ye going to do a few for this game, over 10.5 sixes 10/11, Gayle DeVilliers most team runs double 16/1, Gayle most West Indies runs 5/2, Steyn most South Africa wickets 11/4
N.b I’m not especially confident in this pick! It’s what I like to call a gamble ;)
Cheers I’m on the sixes too, I’ll repost what I put up yesterday for anyone that missed it. I couldn’t call a top batsman or bowler though, not sure how the match will go. Shapoor stood out as good value for his style last night but don’t usually try that market. Good luck

Zimbabwe v Pakistan
Team to score most 6’s – Zimbabwe
11/8 williamhill
3 points
Ye seen it now you did it at 5/6 it’s 10/11 at Skybet if you haven’t done it already. Hoping for two big scores potential for both to get over 300. I put low money on so go for the bigger odds and I just like picking top bowlers and batsman anyway
Well they’ve both got a good chance. hope steyn does it for you as I need him to get a few wickets. Definitely potential for big scores as neither teams attack has looked very dangerous, both conceded 275+ runs to Zimbabwe. And if gayle or De Villiers get in I think the 6’s should be comfortable. I’ve already taken it at 5/6, coral was the only bookie available last night unfortunately
Cricket World Cup
South Africa v West Indies
Century to be scored in match – YES
1/1 William Hill
3 points
South Africa v West Indies
Total 6′s – Over 10.5
5/6 Coral (now 10/11 skybet)
3 points
Hope Steyn gets 6 for for both of us then. Luckily didn’t do the bets earlier because I didn’t notice Gayles a 10/3 offer by Skybet that must be worth one of your points.
I’m liking the sound of Harrison to beat Karlovic more the more I think about it. Fatigue is surely an issue for Ivo, and he’s been taken to three sets by players less dangerous than Harrison this week. If Harrison takes confidence and positives forward from his match with Dimitrov rather than a slight comedown, then he has a great chance. Karlovic is still a serious threat, it’s a question of whether he has the energy to serve well for two/three sets.
Harrison d Karlovic @ 7/4.
Apologies on the football bets Huggy. Europa will be the death of me one day! Double or nothing on tonights NBA now :)

Watched the highlights of the Afghanistan match and you have to thank Shapoor for his batting as well as his wickets Harry. He hit two crucial fours with one of them being the winning runs but he should have been run out and I don’t know how they won it. It was tense even knowing the result
Evening. Any thoughts on cavs/thunder double tonight guys?
4fold for tonight/tomorow
South africa – cricket
Nishikori – tennis
Federer – tennis
St helens – rugby league
1.36/1 £50 for me
Cobra picking a winner out of the Cavs game is too hard for me but I can’t see past OKC.
I’m envisaging tight, well defended matches in the 2 NBA games. Would the under 215.5, under 218 double be an option?
Hey guys, big game tonight
I like Cavs -3 and Over 208 double
1.56/1
Smaller bet on
Lebron James 30+ and Cavs win 13/5 PP NBA Daily special
Some Prop Bets
Ibaka over 15.5 points 5/6
James over 6 rebounds 6/6
James over 7 assists 4/5
Kanter over 14.5 points 5/6
Tomorrow’s NBA. Prices up at Skybet.
Atlanta Hawks -5.5
Minnesota Timberwolves +12
Just over EVS @ Skybet
Adding the Sixers +15.5 @ 18/10 (25% stake)
I’ll have a look at gayles odds in a minute, that doesn’t sound good though so may have a personal bet on it. He should be brimming full of confidence too and if Samuels can get in too it should help steady him. I’ve been out all day and didn’t see the highlights but yes it sounds like he saved me. Gonna put the cricket channel on soon and have a look.
Jordan haha its got a ring to it!
Moswei it doesn’t matter how well you defend against GSW as the Splash brothers love shooting from behind the arc.
WN I tried looking for Kanter rebounds but can’t find them anywhere and think Ibaka’s are a bit high at 8.5 now they have Kanter.
True, but I think I’ll have a go small stakes, as I never do unders, for a change as these games are tough to call…
GSW v Cavs – under 216.5
OKC v Suns – under 218
double @ 13/5 PP
I wish I could find Kanter rebounds, hes a machine, points will do though as he often scores from his offensive rebounds and Westbrook has become a assist machine to the big men.
Hey Jordan I found it, its at B365, over 11.5 is 5/6
Ahh cheers WN I should have had a look there. Might have a small stake on that!
My Cheltenham double I done right after I watched Sprinter Sacres return.
Faugheen 5/4
Sprinter Sacre 3/1
8/1 Double
:)
Lol I hope you mean it does sound good
Sorry guys posted in the wrong thread, feel free to have a go though :p
Haha yes I mean it does. Just backed the 10/3 skybet price boost with a point. Only slightly better than paddypower at 16/5 but everywhere else was 5/2
Hopefully he smashes it about again now
Puig now 10/1 to beat Karatantcheva. I’ve cashed out for 90% profit.
Olive better play better this second set… Hopeless in the 1st!
Karatantcheva takes it in 3. A nice little 5/2 win there, and good news for me, as Robredo looks he’s going to wipe the floor with my 13/5 shot Olivo.
Olivo is crap. I took him at +6.5 in an Acca and that’s going to get blown away. No more underdogs in the tennis for me.
I can’t cover in play so I’m gone I think…unless he gets a break back.
If I’d known it was 186th rank vs 18th rank I would have bugged out on Olivo. Lesson learnt there…
He’s played an absolute shocker hasn’t he. Guess he just wasn’t able to rise to the occasion. Was gambling on him being really on the ball. Sorry folks. RObredo 6-1, 6-2 in play is where i’ve tried to save the day.
Ah sorry mate. It’s not really a handicap kind of situation in my opinion. It’s a gamble that he really plays a great match/ Robredo isn’t at his best. If one or both of those things don’t happen there’s always potential fora blowout. He’s a big underdog for a reason! I’m just backing these underdogs straight up. The percentage that are winning at the moment is easily higher than is needed to make a profit at level stakes.
Well it’s not really about ranking. Just from tips in the last 24 hours: Puig (58) beat Errani (12) Karantantcheva (158) beat Puig (58). Harrison (159) beat DImitrov (10). I could go on!
Here’s hoping. Just need Robredo to retire, he’s got a slight leg problem by the look of things. Drop shots please Olivo!
Yeh no worries mate, my bad. Just need him to get the break back and will be ol
Robredo is playing absolutely superbly. He’s gone up about five gears from his highest level so far this season. Can’t argue with that. Olivo is playing really well now and still can’t do a thing. I was wrong to doubt Robredo. Very impressed by him. Not so much by my Olivo tip!
Have covered at 23/4 on the GSW just incase, especially with Kyrie injured and out of the game.
Need 12 points in the Cavs game for my double so I think that’s in. Going to cover under 207.5 in the OKC game @ 12/5 @ WillHill
Wow, main bet ends up only squeaking through there with the ridiculous slow down at the end, but wins a win!
I was shitting it WN haha
Cheers mate, good luck on yours mate. Hope Kanter dominates!
Btw nice wins for you there mate. Well done.
Cavs/GSW over 206.5
Suns/OKC over 207.5
Slightly under 9/10 @ Skybet **WIN**
