THE Australian Open is down to the last eight and Andy Murray's conqueror Mischa Zverev is eyeing up another scalp in this morning's showdown.
The German underdog goes up against four-times champ Roger Federer and is 7-1 at bet365 to reach the semis and 6-5 at Paddy Power to win at least a set.
Federer is just 2-17 at Marathonbet for the win and 13-17 at the same firm to do so in straight sets, while the Swiss with a minus 7.5 game handicap pays 21-20 at BetVictor.
In the earlier match it's Stan Wawrinka chalked up at 13-19 by Marathonbet in his battle with Jo Wilfried-Tsonga (11-8, Marathonbet).
There's also women's quarter-final action from Melbourne plus the likes of NBA and cricket worth a flutter today so as usual let's hear all your tips and chat.
In December 2020 we sadly

well done winners @raoul-duke wicked shout on both your underdog bets – Top class tipping mate ..???
Cheers dude ?
Any chance you may ever post on the app
Like the daily football double –
A Daily sports double
Who’s your question to mate?
Yourself Jordan
Thanks
Just a US sports daily double
@bjm although my name is on the thread, I don’t post the thread myself. That is something you you would have to ask Mr F. Realistically all tips should be shown on the app but that’s my opinion
The app’s a relatively new addition and we are looking at adding other apps.
Admin will have a timescale for expanion but I see no reason why this can’t be added in time if Jordan is up for it.
I wasn’t demanding it by any means, Mr F. I downloaded the app myself and thought it would show all the threads like the website, so for me it’s not quite necessary but for any subscribers it’s a great addition! Would be more than happy to be involved if plans were on the horizon, but no rush.
I know that. It’s a work in progress – the site’s the main place to go but apps are part of the future.
Pelicans +6.5 @ 1.90 (PP) – ✔
Thunder +6 @ 1.90 (PP) – ✔
Both underdogs win straight up ?
I wouldn’t touch the Cavs until they start showing some consistency again.
Also great recovery by the Thunder ?.. need to catch the highlights of this one.
Well done any winners.
Superb mate, thought that game could of been a turning point for the cavs but they are really struggling right now.
Was some finish in Miami, check that out!
@4/5 on it speaks for itself but I can’t see past the warriors for the championship. Every other team far too inconsistent and Warriors can go to another level when the occasion calls.
I’ll touch the Cavs whenever I please. Some people are too vocal after a win but not so talkative after a bad week ? They should know better. Well done @raoul-duke, the trap line is real ?

Tough night in the NBA. Kudos @raoul-duke, couple of cracking singles there? and well done to any other winners.
Cheers bud ? Unlucky with Houston.
Right back to tips…
Early leans for Spurs and Timberwolves.
Spurs -2.5 looks pretty good against a Raptors team without DeRozan, only concern is Pop has a tenancy to rest starters on b2b games. He won’t be fussed that the Raps are looking for revenge either… team news will be key here.
Minnesota have looked pretty good lately, on a 2 game streak.. it’s also a typical let down spot for Phoenix, after surprising everyone with a win on the road against the Raptors.
It’s extremely unlikely that Minnesota will make the playoffs, but what they can do tonight is get a sweep over Phoenix for the first time in 13 years. Enough motivation? I think so..
I’ll finalise my bets later.
Well done Raoul backed the thunder ?
Ok let’s look to bounce bk- ?…
Early prop Leans tonight are
De Andre Jordan over 14.5 points
Or waiting for PA&R lines…
In the abcence of CP3 DJ been having a strong month.. been putting up some strong P&R stats.. I read that embid is out for this game too .if he is my feeling is paint domination from DJ and with Blake bk for his first game in months the 2 should combine well together to win this match up..Philly been playing so well lately but can’t hide the fact they win less without their star man .with a record of 2- 11..DJ had a poor point game against Atlanta but should find his way to the basket easier tonight..will hold out until the P&R lines come up….
Andrew Wiggins over 22.5 Is my second prop Lean…against pheonix he usually performs well posting 25+ in all they games they played..we all know he can explode in any game even without scoring 3-pointers..should be a open match.if he can get going early we should see another strong performance from Wiggins..
Going to chance one in the China Open qualifiers today.
Vafaei Ayouri win – v Poomjaeng – 10/11 Sporting Bet
Ayouri reached the QF of the NI Open in November and beat Lisowski in the 1st round of the Scottish Open which isn’t a massive result but it is a win. Poomjaeng on the other hand hasn’t won any game since the end of August which is a run of 8 straight defeats and he has a total of 2 wins since June. Think Ayouri should be clear favourite here
Another ‘trap line’ ? – NO!
Spurs on b2b road games against the 2 seed in the East. Raptors have lost their last 3 against the 76ers (not a spelling error) Hornets and Suns. Spurs despite playing two nights in a row should be the winners in a close game (hence the spread). Spurs didn’t even need Kawhi Leonard on the court, with Tony Parker possibly returning tonight also. Manu may also play after being rested last night after suffering with back spasms against Cleveland.

Grigor Dimitrov – David Goffin
Dimitrov :
– Grigor Dimitrov has equaled his best performance at the Australian Open, managed to reach the quarterfinals again, after he had managed this in 2014;
– Bulgarian player won against Denis Istomin in the previous round, who managed to eliminate Novak Djokovic;
– to reach the quarterfinals of this tournament won against O’Connell 3-0 , Chung 3-1 and Gasquet 3-0 !!!
– Dimitrov has a very good start to the year 2017, won the tournament in Brisbane, in the final against Kei Nishikori;
– Dimitrov has no less than nine consecutive victories this year;
=====================================================
Goffin :
– David Goffin makes the best performance at the Australian Open, managed to reach for the first time in his career at this stage of the competition, and for the second time at a Grand Slam tournament after the quarter-finals played last year at Roland Garros;
– David Goffin had the toughest match in the first round, when he needed five sets to win against American Reilly Opelka;
– in round 2 and 3 Goffin managed to win in straight sets against Radek Stepanek and Ivo Karlovic;
– in the previous round, the Belgian won against Dominic Thiem after he lost the first set;
=====================================================
Bulgarian Dimitrov has the first chance in this game, being in very good shape in the beginning of year 2017 and probably the player who has often been compared to Roger Federer reached a maturity that allows him to reach final stages at tournaments of Grand Slam.
Best Performance for Dimitrov at a Grand Slam tournament was in 2014 when he lost to Nole in semi-final after a marathon match.
Goffin has equaled his best performance at a Grand Slam tournament, and I don’t think he will be able to improve his performance;
Dimitrov managed to win all 3 matches against Belgian David Goffin , the most recent victory being at Boodles tournament in 2016, when Dimitrov won 2-1.
I am counting on a victory of Bulgarian, and I think the difference in games after the match will be at least 4 in favor of Dimitrov.
=====================================================
Bets to consider : Grigor Dimitrov – David Goffin
– Dimitrov (-3.5) games @ 2.00 (NB)
– Dimitrov (-2.5) games @ 1.72 (NAP)
=======================================

Euroleague Basketball
I’ve been weighing up this bet all day and although I believe Baskonia should win, Zvezda have drifted out to 3/1 now and I think that’s generous given their current form. If this had been in Belgrade in front of 25 thousand of the best fans in Europe then I’d have backed them to win this but away from home, I still think this is worth a small stakes punt!
Crvena Zvezda @ Baskonia (20:30GMT)
Money Line: Zvezda @ 3/1, Coral – 1pt staked.
Good luck!
@hunter Congrats , Thanks!!! ;) what a game :D
Seeing that that line was a trap was a great spot. The totals in the water polo all lost so I did no favours in undoing my moron status
If you’re referring to the Cavs line, it wasn’t a trap, and I never used ‘trap line’ as part of my angle or write up when taking the Pelicans.
Trap lines = paranoia ?
Anyway enough talk about trap lines, this forum is better than that.
Never mind, dasher. ?
Hunter ? overs nice one
How Fun I gave many a laughter with my “trap line” sentence yesterday. I think, however, that we looked at the meaning of those words differently and also please bear in mind, English is not my native lagunge.
Anyway:
Riedel NBA #1:
Bulls@ Magic UNDER 208 (4/5)
Both teams had Monday off, the Bulls played back to back Friday and Saturday while the Magic was in action Friday and Sunday nights. Chicago is finally just about back to full health after illness knocked both Butler and Mirotic out for several games. The Bulls are fighting to hang on to a playoff berth and they need to start picking up some wins. Orlando has to figure out how to win at home if they want to stay in the race for a potential playoff berth.
Bulls have seen the under go 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and 5-1 in their last 6 games playing on 2 days rest. In addition, the under is 22-7-2 in Chicago’s last 31 road games dating back to last season. Orlando has the under go 4-0 in their last 4 home games, 8-2 in their last 10 vs. Central Division and 4-1 in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. The teams have gone under the total in their last four meetings overall and in 13 of the last 17 matchups in Orlando. Expect more of the same here.
Good to see you posing your bets man, quite a few times when you’ve asked about a total – it’s been correct.
Best of luck!
Playful banter @riedel4. Line hasn’t moved much and I’m not an Under guy but wish you luck.
Vafaei Ayouri win – v Poomjaeng – 10/11 Sporting Bet *winner*
2-0 down to 4-2 up and then 4-4 but got over the line eventually.
1-0 week
Was on it. Cheers!
Both bets downed by the Swiss Stars yesterday but sticking with the set betting and taking over 3.5 sets in both games later at just over evens. Dimitrov is rightly the favourite and should win but Goffin’s consistency should see him knick a set at least. Nadal/Raonic game could go either way. Just for interest sake also having a punt (tiny stakes) on Dimitrov & Raonic both to win at 9/4. Enjoy
Minnesota Timberwolves @ Phoenix Suns
Pick – Timberwolves +1 @ 1.90 (PP)
I posted a short write up for this game this morning.
Line’s have drifted slightly on Bet365, they are now favourites.
Good luck all.
Evening lads
Sticking with my early prop Leans..
De Andre Jordan (clippers) over 14.5 points 5/6 PP
Andrew Wiggins (timberwolves) over 21.5 points 5/6 skybet
Good luck all

Is De Andre rebounds on PP mate? Can’t see a points market for him.
Ello mate…The P&R are out now on PP – over 29.5.. rebounds over 14.5 …for some reason bet 365 and skybet doesn’t seem to have any props for this match ?..only PP..
Should get close here. Denver like to push the pace and shoot threes, and with Hood out for Utah, Hayward and Hill will have to do more offensively.

Might post this one as a loser already.
Just seen Blake Griffin is starting for the Clippers tonight, with Embiid off the court they are a completely different kettle of fish and should win this. Okafor also questionable which doesn’t leave many options. Even without CP3, LA should get this done.
LA Clippers -4 @ 43/50 @ 888Sport – 2.5 points
Been given a late ice hockey tip. No idea about its chances.
The advice is Crosby to score and Pittsburgh Penguins to win, 11-4 William Hill.
Face-off 12.05am.
Traded hockey for a few months but that’s about it Mr F. Couldn’t tell you if it’s a good tip or not haha
Me neither but just checked Twitter and they’re losing.
