WITH Andy Murray and Tomas Berdych storming through to the Australian Open semis it's now a question of who will join them.
World No.1 Novak Djokovic is on court at around 8am on Wednesday against big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic in a mouthwatering quarter-final. Djokovic has won all three of their previous meetings and is 1-7 at Boylesports for another victory against bwin's 27-4 shot.
Two of the pair's previous meetings have included a tiebreak and for same again it's 4-11 at BetVictor while for the first break of serve it's Djokovic 2-5 at Ladbrokes and Raonic 2-1 at BetVictor.
Wednesday night then sees the first women's semi-final, with Maria Sharapova 2-7 at Paddy Power against fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova (4-1, SportingBet). Sharapova has a 5-0 record against Marakova, dropping just one set along the way.
Elsewhere today it's the fifth and final cricket ODI between South Africa and West Indies. The hosts have already won the series and are 2-7 at Betfred for another victory while the Windies are 11-4 at Ladbrokes.
There's also six NBA matches and a few in the NHL for the Stateside sport fans. Good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.
In December 2020 we sadly 
Ad, I must say I thought Andy Murray was finished when he came back from injury, but it was really just match sharpness. He is now playing some of the best tennis of his career.
Guys if keys holds serve, back to break Williams for set 1
Same again for set 2
Took Keys to win 1st set and lose match @ 5’s. Keep it up Venus!
Fingers crossed 4th quarter
abbas do you go 6-2,6-4,7-5 on venus? for the last set
I’ haven’t touched last set mate, but I’d advice to look to cover your bet if you took my main bet for the match, especially with a break now mate
thanks for another win abbas i coverd

Yeah, nice one Abbas. Awesome tipping.

in play griz ml 9/5
That’s why we cover lol
Abbas what is your main bet?
Abbas – I cant cover in play in Australia so I’m bugging out if any more Tennis bets. Too risky for me
Lost the lot cos of Venus.
Tbh if u can’t cover then it’s not worth touching
I laid 50 on the 5-1 and spent 20 on play sets
Them put 30 on keys@ 9-1
100 total garenteed profit, if I can’t do that then I stay clear bud
Abbas, I cant follow ur bets anymore cos your style of betting is based around covering (I really wish i could tho cos I see how you can always guarantee profit!). Laws in Aus prevent bookies from offering in-play betting. Cheers anyways mate. Even tho I lost the $25, it made the game enjoyable, lol
Late Safe Points DOUBLE:
– GSW/Bulls OVER 204.5
– Wizards/Lakers UNDER 202.5
Pays $1.64
^DOUBLE ABOVE^ ***WON***
My earlier double and 5 fold both lost tho.
Sorry it’s like Attila, 1 of those things most of my bets are based around covering weather s football, tennis etc
Like that”. Sorry I rush to much lol
Terrible 3rd point with that drop shot attempt from Williams
in play griz ml 9/5

Warwinka 6-4

Goodluck
Attila, I live in Aus and I’m fairly sure you can still cover bets in-play but it’s only phone markets, no online in-play bets. Double check yourself but might still be an option for you
Sparky, yeh that’s an option but I think its minimum $20 bets. Plus I’m in the office all day and cant really make private calls to betting company, lol. Cheers Sparky. I guess if a large enough stake is on the line I could do that.
whats the picks for Novak game
Nooooo! Bulls win in overtime. Who saw that coming?! That downed my 5 fold but my points double I posted softened the blow as it won.
attila they were 8`s early on and i thought that might be worth a quid , pity i just thought it .
catch u later
Great match, warwinka played very well
My nba picks 2nite

Great work again guys, i had wizards -8 so just missed out but used huggy n jordans tips to get a 6-1 treble of wizards u195, bucks n raptors which more than made up for it, plus a parlay bonus! (don’t even know what that is?!)
Roanic 1st set

Thanks for your tips Huggy.
I picked a Double with Wizzards under 195 pts and Grizzlies +6.
Keep it up!
I’ll be going same again
glad to see guys using my thoughts to compile their own bets , its not always easy with bball betting and those us who can cover find it a fantastic tool to have.
i said the other night and we all know leads change in minutes , wizards 11 down ht was an inplay dream , they were always gonna make a game of it , not that i was overly confident they`d win. so well done Brian.
ross have a read of the 4th quarter play by play its a sickener , but it can also work for you.
hope some of you took jordans advice as he was confident the raptors -3.5 was too low , this is stuff we gonna see to find the value.
off to bed brian ( 10 hour nights ) but will post as soon as i get after a bit of research..
post your winners and thank where its due. mr fisherman good shout with the grizzlies ml

@ ATTILA ….. you need a Betfair account to cover your bets – you can leave it running on PC if you are at work !!
@Martin – I just read the T’s & C’s…have to be a resident of UK or Ireland to sign up. I’m in Oz so can’t do. Think ill have to start taking ‘smoke breaks’ at work (I don’t smoke, lol) in order to phone my bookie to place cover bets in play.
Been following your nba tips since around Christmas time and have to say thank you for many winners, including last night, using your tips came up with a treble of Raptors +5, Wizards -5 and under 200.5. Thanks again lads.

Djokovic to win 3-0 has been an absolute dream so far. 10/11 today and stormed home. Fancy him to go on to win it again
Ad, delighted for my hubby Madison. She was amazing and what a story it would be for her just to reach the final, never mind win it.
Well, bet of a shock to the system to see that the Bulls took GSW to overtime and ended up winning. Bulls were 5/1 and GSW hadn’t lost at home since mid November. No excuses though so sorry to those that followed the double.
Cavs ML
GSW -3.5
@ 7/10 **LOSE**
Atlanta Hawks -5.5
Toronto Raptors ML
OKC Thunder ML
@ EVS @ 365
‘Kevin Durant (toe) remains day-to-day with the possibility he can play Wednesday against the Knicks’.
Fairly vital information here as I won’t be placing the bet until I know if Durant is starting. I will post as and when on an update but probably won’t find out until late PM.

best tip for the total comes in denver where stats suggest
11-2 in favour of under.
good luck watever your`e on…
I got shafted by Porto and Benfica on consecutive nights in the football. If it wasn’t for the tennis, and basketball tips from you chaps I would be living on the streets. Eternal thanks Huggybear, Jordan and Atilla.
daddybacon , thanks fella , its great to hear comments like that , luck seems to be avoiding my best tip , but hopefully others i have suggested are making people money , i know a bit but i also take on board what attila and jordan say ! made me a few quid yesterday flagging the raptors.
i`m like you with the footy if i back btts it`ll be the only 0 – 0 in the league !
as long as we stick to level stakes we`ll give a chance to recoup losses , i haven`t deposited to my account for 3 months , purely down to tips from the boys on here.
be nice to land a double tonight for a change , fingers crossed and all that ..
but really thanks from us all…
anyone looking for a super single , pick from these 2
Nuggets vs. Pelicans ova 200.5
or
Celtics vs. Wolves ova 200.5
personal choice i`d take timberwolves , but lately i`m missing out with teams i back starting slowly or badly.
looking for a nice 50 points 1st quarter to get it on track.
surely i`m gonna break this mini slump ????
GOOD LUCK AS ALWAYS , WE ALL GOOD JORDAN/ATTILA.
BE AFTER YOUR SB TIPS SOON MATE !!
good work , huggy
Huggy mate, I don’t have HT handicap. But double result Cavs/Cavs is $1.77 so gonna take that instead. Gonna follow urs today as havnt had a chance to research at all.

My advice when u bet on tennis it important to look for covers and always try and pick potential value bets rather than 1-3 odds on chances
Thats some going abbas, howd u see murrays semi going?
It’s a little hard to tell Ross, I think it’s who ever serves to best to honest,
What do u think?
For those who are going for Cleveland today, Lebron James is out for today’s match due to wrist injury.
I don’t know enough abt tennis to be honest beyond the obvious, would never have entertained set betting like you detailed, always interesting to see someone going at things from a diffetent angle tho.
Cheers lebron . Think thats my ht bet buggered.. sissy
I have money on Berdych to win the tournament. Will back Murray to win 3-1 and 3-2 today
i only really do it on grand slam mate tbh but it’s very interesting, there’s a guy called chris guy on the football who gets some cracking prices on 1st and anytime goal scoring great value betting, the site is great a lot of choice from a lot of different tipsters
What price did u get James?
Good shout on the HT result Huggy!
There’s the first part of my double in . Cavs -3 ht , the last 3 games they have started on fire and even without the messiah , they walk the ht spread.
going well.. watch clippers have a mare
Kyrie is cooking!
Nowt without lebron. Hope they win for attila
Cleveland have 92 points, Kyrie has 50 of them!
Wow, some performance from Irving tonight, that 3 at the end, damn!
That last 3 was unreal
That was clutch! Irving 55 points 11/19 3pt FG. Damn!
In other news not happy with ESPN telling me Aldridge was out! That could have cost people big money if Irving didn’t carry the Cavs tonight.
Thunder not looking good against Knicks this will be embarassing for them even without Durrant. Other 3 look good in 4 fold..sure Thunder done us at Christmas against crappy team then..heres hoping.
Wet Lettuce I advised to wait and see if Durant was playing, and a couple of us posted that he wasn’t, so then advised my new bets. This was quite early on in the afternoon mate.
HEY HUGGY MATE
Do you Clippers will come out stronger in 2nd half? I’ve got a huge stake on them and am a but worried atm…
Me too … bloody hope so
Ok sorry Jordan didnt see it till i placed bet.
Thats the thing with team news and resting players in certain quarters..out can happen. Thats why we love it. I have other acca doing well till i see my Celtics +5 against TW has no chance.
Top tipping tonight Huggy – had your overs with the Timberwolves game. Thanks as always :o)
Certainly hope so Attila!
Wet Lettuce not to worry mate but I did say in my very first post that Durant playing is vital.
I always hate going against the Jazz as a home dog… But Clippers really should be stepping up a gear soon!
Have a large single on Clippers -6.5. Found out I CAN cover in play but only over phone. Does anyone know the beat way to cover if Clippers keep struggling???
Anyone???
Clippers have been awful.
COME ON CLIPPERS!!! JUST 2 MORE BASKETS! PLZ!
God I hope they don’t fall 1 or 2 points short. Id rather they got hammered!
Showed there class at the end there, phew. Thanks Jordan, followed your treble.
Hawks -5.5 – 113-102 Hawks
Toronto Raptors ML – 119-102 Raptors
@ 7/10 @ 365 **WIN**
I’m adding another treble seeing as the odds were not great at 365.
