    Aviva Prem/Pro 12 Double

    Bristol +14.5
    Ospreys -2.5

    1.91 @ bet365

    Bristol’s tails are up and I think they have an outside chance of winning today against an out of sorts Sale team who have lost 7 on the bounce.

    Ospreys will have too much for Newport in this local clash. Ospreys are in fine form at the moment and should stuff Newport.

      Happy new year mate…I’m on your double today..good luck..?

      Fingers crossed. Missed your picks last night, well done. Was too busy playing drunken monopoly with the missus!! ??

    Aviva Prem

    Worcester v Harlequins

    I fear for my team the Warriors. Not being able to beat a 14 man Bristol last week could be the beginning of the end. They face a Quins team with a terrible away record this season, registering no wins so far, but i think this will be their first. They welcome back ex England captain Robshaw and should be too good for a Worcester team who lack identity and direction.

    GL if you follow

    • baggio 7 years ago

      Reasoning:

      Grenoble have just had their first win of the season a la Bristol. La Rochelle’s third place in the league is more due to their away form. Not consistent at home. Conversely Scarlets are great at home and in a rich vein of form.

    • baggio 7 years ago

      Quins are shocking away from home. Can’t believe they haven’t even scored yet against Worcester.

  8. ayeright 7 years ago

    Miami is expected to be without nine starters, including five on a defense that is the team’s strong suit.
    Leads me to
    Patriots half time full time 4/6
    Blount anytime touchdown scorer 8/13
    Good luck.

    • humble tipper 7 years ago

      @ayeright any on the tennis mate? Happy new year

    • Jordan 7 years ago

      Not sure why? They have a better seeding to play for.

    • Jordan 7 years ago

      Miami are playing as strong as they can. Maxwell, Tannehill and Williams the only three big inactives. Pats don’t have a good record in Miami but need the win for the number 1 seed. Only reason I left them out.

    • maxxxx 7 years ago

      Good shout on the Pats. Miami been hammered on the D the past few weeks with Jelani Jenkins, Byron Maxwell and Mario Williams massive loss on D going against Brady.

    Annika beck to beat osaka looks a steal for me . Osaka has a strong serve and forehand but Beck has more experience and a better all rounder I’m with beck for 7/4.Small stakes it might go bust.

    Van Gerwen vs Van Barneveld – both to checkout 120+
    Wright vs Anderson – both to checkout 120+

    Double 13/5 PP
    ———————————————————————————————————

    There are quite a few bets I like for this evenings semi finals matches. My NAP for this evening will be in the MVG-Barney showdown and based on some of the monster finishing we have seen from both so far it is a no brainer. The both to checkout 120+ selection is a strong one considering the participants involved and usually we do see this target being achieved in longer format clashes between quality operators. Barney has taken out numerous checkouts of 120+ in this years championship; the best being a 156 against Green, and a 154 & 167 in his victory which sent Taylor packing. MVG hit TWO 170 finishes against Gurney in the same match, he hit a 170 finish against Webster, a 164 against Reyes… I really could keep going but the the main point here is the confidence level for the bet is high.

    As mentioned above MVG does seem to find hitting a 170 finish quite easy and he often leaves the big fish as a leave from a high number. Three of the four 170 finishes we have seen in this year’s championship have come from him so the 9/2 price definitely appeals.

    Last year Barney lost 6-3 to Adrien Lewis at this stage last year in a performance where he averaged 94 with a 38% checkout rate on the doubles. I don’t think he is going to win tonight’s match and over the full length of the match his stats should resemble something similar. Barney has never really been that prolific on the 180’s but usually acquires a high volume of 140’s which make up the bulk of his scoring and average. I’d expect MVG to finish with at least five or more 180’s given the length of the semi final (it finished 15-6 in Lewis’ favour last year) so I’m taking his 180 handicap in the match as well.

    Wright-Anderson is very likely to see at least 9 sets. Both players have dropped three sets on the way to the semi final with Anderson three against Chisnall and Wright three against Wade. The consistent nature of each player’s game means mistakes are generally few and far between so each should have the ability to register sets, especially with throw.

    As usual I’ll be on the 9-darter in Anderson’s match due to the many close attempts and the one he hit last year.

    Happy new year, all the best for 2017 & good luck

      Over 8.5 in Anderson wright is 1/2 on bet365 now mate would u say over 9.5 is possible

    • schum2 7 years ago

      Thanks Bullseye – excellent & informative analysis as usual

    • bullseye 7 years ago

      It all depends on how good each player really is today . It’s a good price but a bit on the risky side. My next most confident bet would have to be MVG

    • bullseye 7 years ago

      -4.0 180’s 11/10 on PP due to how Barney performed in last years semi only hitting six 180’s. MVG should hit ten upwards so should cover the handicap.

    • shortee 7 years ago

      hit a lucky one earlier @bullseye stook my winning from forest green match on under 25.5 180s at 10/11 finished 25 lol

      never watching a darts match again live on sky sports with a bet on, wasn’t 1 180 in last leg which I was grateful for

      was a tidy return

    • bullseye 7 years ago

      Nice one @shortee, I sometimes like to do mixed doubles of darts and football for decent odds but yeah like you say watching the darts part come in can be torture. Better to just place the bet and come back later to view the damage lol. Happy new year mate.

    hello bullseye, just wondering your NB of over 8.5 sets is 1/2 on bet365 did u mean over 9.5, not being picky mate just wanted to check as iv been following a few of your tips, thx

    • bullseye 7 years ago

      Cheers for the heads up cottweiler, I think I’ve mixed the over 8.5 sets up with the evens price from Barney-MVG. I would’nt be as confidant on the over 9.5 but the over 8.5 set @ 1/2 could be useful to perhaps sling in a double with highest checkout score. My NB will now be MVG -4.0 180’s 11/10 on PP Good luck mate.

    Happy new year! lets start things off with a winner.

    Detroit Pistons @ Miami Heat

    Pick – Pistons -4 @ 1.80 (Bet 365)

    Lines are drifting on this one, so I’m snapping up -4 for a pretty good price.

    Heat are banged up at the minute, and if Whiteside and Dragic are confirmed out, this line will plummet. I’m confident that the Pistons can bounce back from 2 losses against this Miami Heat team.

    Good luck all.

    Evening all, your main man Max here. I have avoided dead rubber games in the NFL and I am focusing on the big one later tonight, between the Packers and Lions. Tonight this WILL decide who wins the North :-)

    My late game double and treble focusing on sides who need a result to secure a top seed, a bye week or even the division. I will post my tips on the big North clash later. It could be a shootout in the Georgia Dome between the Saints and Falcons and I will be on Atlanta O24.5pts and double it up with Kansas O20.5pts at 4/6. I am adding Detroit O18.5pts in the late game to make it a 13/10 Treble.

    My only anytime scorer tip in the afternoon games is WR Jackson to win is one on one matchup at 7/5 Unibet.

  27. maxxxx 7 years ago

    The late game will see the winner being crowned NFC North champions and the Packers on the back of a good run of form come into this as odds on favourites. If you fancy a close game then the Lions with 3.5 start is worth a look.

    This as the potential to be a shootout or even a potential blowout. The Lions will need to step up more than they have done in the past few weeks. On Thanksgiving they did that beating the Vikings and going top of the North. Green Bay are riding high, Clay Matthews is playing lights out, and A-Rod as had is favourite target back the past few weeks in Jordy Nelson and it as opened up the pass attack with Adams in particular taking advantage.

    Green Bay won this match last season on a Rodgers “Hail Mary” or the miracle pass and with the division on the line you put it on Rodgers (O282.5yds Skybet) back or his hands in this case. It is the same with the Lions, you have to let Stafford (O273.5yds PP) air it out and punish this poor secondary especially the CB’s. My props on this game are both QB‘s to go Over and both star WR’s to do the same, as I expect a offensive shootout. I’m taking Tate to cover O67.5yds at Hills and Nelson O84.5yds BV.

    Rodgers O282.5yds 10/11
    Stafford O273.5yds 4/5
    Nelson O84.5yds 10/11
    Tate O67.5yds 10/11

    Anytime you like for Max
