THE world's top tennis stars start their season this week with the Doha Open and Brisbane International taking centre stage.
World No.1 Novak Djokovic is looking to win the Doha title for the first time and is 8-15 favourite at Paddy Power ahead of Rafa Nadal (7-2, BetVictor) and defending champ David Ferrer (15-1, Unibet).
Djokovic begins his glory bid against Dustin Brown today while British No.3 Kyle Edmund is 13-16 at 888sport to make it past Martin Klizan, a 5-4 underdog at Ladbrokes.
In Brisbane Roger Federer tops the title betting at 13-10 with Unibet followed by Kei Nishikori (4-1, bwin) and the day's action features Aussie No.1 Bernard Tomic against Nicholas Mahut and David Goffin versus Thomaz Bellucci.
Elsewhere there's cricket, darts and basketball among the sporting highlights so as usual post your tips and chat here and on the forums.
In December 2020 we sadly 
The NAP lands before half time, Lovely :-)
Vikings O1.5 fgs 10/11 (Bet365) ***NAP***
” The NAP looks tasty as it is a divisional battle, in the cold and Blair Walsh is a quality kicker, GET ON!!!!!
Other tips pending but AP went off injured. Those who feel sorry going back to work after the holidays be thankful, it is “black Monday” in the NFL were coaches lose their jobs, I expect 5-7 will lose their jobs later today. I cant see the following still be in their jobs for next season.
Mike McCoy, Jim Tomsula, Dan Campbell, Mike Pettine, Chuck Pagano, Mike Mularkey, and Jim Caldwell. Keep your eyes on Sean Peyton and Tom Coughlin too
With the combination of being a Packer and United fan I’m on the verge of slitting the wrists haha
Eddie had 28 rushing yards on the first drive, and totaled 34 for the whole game. Mainly because we abandoned the run as we were down by 17 points in the 4th, made it interesting (too little too late) but ultimately lost again at home to a division rival when it mattered most. I bet @lee-cunliffe will be happy. Well done mate. Good luck against Seattle though haha, kind of glad we are playing the Redskins although they’ll probably beat us too.
Eddie Lacy Over 60.5 Rushing Yards @ 4/5 @ Stan James – 2.5 points **LOSE**
Also I probably managed to post the worst NBA prop in history with TJ Warren not getting a single point, but did repost the Lou WIlliams and Jordan Clarkson total which came in. Won’t be posting much this week as different hours to start the new year. Will try and get on at some point tonight. Good luck gents.
TJ Warren Over 16.5 Points @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power – 2.4 points **LOSE**
Lou Williams Over 14.5 Points @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power – 2.4 points **WIN**
Jordan Clarkson Over 23.5 PR&A @ 10/11 @ Paddy Power 2.2 points **WIN**
Didn’t get chance get on last night mate but was bit blearly eyed today, not sure who got better deal out of the result as seattle home or Washington away am not sure who got the best deal
Also a few bets to go through for the NFL Ante Posts. Division bet of 10 points is a loser, but I’m quite happy with the fact I managed to pick the Receiving and Rushing leaders for the regular season in Julio Jones and Adrian Peterson @ 13/2 and 5/1 respectively.
**POSTED YESTERDAY**
Great card today for Euro hoops. There’s a handful of bets I like in the VTB United League as well as some German and Spanish games.
I’m going to try something a little different today and put up all my fancies for the day. I know it might be a bit much for everyone to follow but I’ll also pick out a fourfold for those who wish to stick to that.

All above singles at 2pt stakes…
Good luck if you’re brave enough to follow!
—————-
Apologies for not replying to yesterday’s posts, I was a little under the weather, possibly due to the lack of sleep the night before, studying the whole euro hoops card. Was cheered right up to see that it payed off…..
16 from 18 bets landed. Not too sure what happened in the Bremerhaven game as they were 7 up with about 40 seconds to go when I had to step out for the day….Crazy!!!
Funnily enough the two that I lost were in my fourfold lol, sods law really.
Well done if you were brave enough to follow all the selections. I had a large outlay of £720 and was hoping to be up 6 or 7 points for the day. It turned out slightly better with over 25 points + 5 from Bullseye’s NAP (cheers Bulley). Absolutely over the moon with that outcome.
Incredible stuff Hunter once again! The most consistent tipper on this website.
Fantastic tipping sir. I doff my hat to you.
Appreciated lads.
DOES IT GET ANY BETTER , the consistency to get 16 from 18 and similar figures regularly on what is essentially a 50/50 call is amazing.. way better than the hot streak i hit on last years NBA..
i urge anyone losing at the moment with the quality of posts by bullseye , jordan and hunter to rethink their betting strategy. Cant remember my last day of non profit
KEEP THE WINNING THREAD WINNING !!!!
Unbelievable tipping mate! Is there anymore games today?
Cheers lads. Good advice Huggy….Between the darts, NBA and NFL, this thread keeps on throwing up some cracking tips!
Terrible card in the Euro hoops today! Not too keen on putting anything for the sake of it, but will have another look when I have a spare hour.
Quality hunter you made me a nice profit, many thanks
Jordan Clarkson (Lakers) Over 16.5 Points @ 1.83 (PP) – 1.2 Points – *LOST*
Figured it was a good bet with Kobe out, but seems that points, assists and rebounds was the way to go.
Nevermind, small loss. Tonight’s card looks decent.

otto porter jnr over 15.5 points ** LOST** HA HA 6

JUST A FEW THOUGHTS , POST BETS AFTER READING WHAT BOYS ARE ON…
No knowledge at all on tennis. I know Djokovic is very good but the odds today are awful lol.
Is skybets enhanced Djokovic to lead 2-0 after 2 games at 11/8 any good?
I follow tennis but not been betting on it lately! My concern would be that this is the start of the season for Djokovic and after a two month break, he might not be at his competitive best. Brown is a decent player and although I’d expect him to lose in straight sets, I’d still think he can win quite a few games. Having said this, it might still be worth a small bet at those odds.
Tennis Single (about to start)
Nicolas Almagro to win 2-0 @ 10/11 – 1.1pts staked.
Good luck!
Why not? Won so much due to your tips lately that it’s gotta be worth a go.
‘Forgot about Tennis’ Double
Almagro (win)
Dzumhur (win)
Double @ 6/5 – 1.5pts
Good luck!
Trail blazers had me sweating lastnight but bought home the bacon.
Main bet today
£100 miami heat -2.5
Props i am considering
Rubio over 18.5 P&A
Brook lopez over 30.5 P&R
Nerlens noel over 19.5 P&R
Aldridge over 24.5 P&R
Marc gasol over 23.5 P&R
Bit of 4fold action for the afternoon just for interest:
Tennis:
Coric win 4/11
Snooker
O’sullivan Win 2/5
Hawkins Win 4/7
Darts
De Graaf win 1/3
4 fold at 3/1
1 point on for interest
O’sullivan wins.
1 leg won, 3 to go
Dead at the 2nd leg with de Graaf losing lol
Not a great Euro hoops card but there’s enough to scrape what I think is a decent fourfold together. Not sure about singles yet but we’ll see!
Euro Hoops Fourfold
Sutjeska (+4.5)
Pasaro / Torino (Under 158)
Torun / Wloclawek (Over 146)
Zvezda / Cedevita (Over 146.5)
Fourfold @ 7/1 Skybet – 1pt staked.
Good luck!
On it.
Couldn’t quite find the same spreads for some reason but where they differ I’ve taken the easier which gives me 4.59/1 which I certainly won’t grumble at ?
@richb20806 you need to look at the points bands and some of the the unders / overs on some can be found there – I know as i had trouble finding some
Thanks @jacksonator, 90% of the time I use oddschecker so wasn’t sure!
Just out of interest….try placing it through oddschecker. I’ve noticed a few times that for whatever reason you can get a bigger variation through them.
I’ll look into that. Never considered placing through odds checker either but something to look into I think
I really rate it, although it can be a bit slow for updating price changes. Just save me time shopping around all the bookies.
Hunter, I’m looking to chuck a bit at a bet around evens that’s fairly safe if there is such a bet from today’s games? Would you recommend a choice from your fourfold selections?
Possibly the Torino game for unders and Zvezda for overs if you can make an Evens double from that.
Awesome tipping again mate just cashed out of a double with those 2 teams for pretty much fI’ll amount! Thank you
Outstanding tipping I agree, unfortunately for me I done o149.5 for the torun/wloclawek game and missed out by that .5

Sorry for the disappearing act lads. Will post final December results later. Think I ended up about 15 points up, which I’ll take considering I only staked 60-70 points.
For anyone talking about the Djokovic 2-0 up after 2 games offer. It’s not for me. Djokovic the far better player but Dustin Brown has a very good serve and steps his game up vs better players.
Euro Hoops Singles
Zvezda / Cedevita (Over 147.5) @ 5/6 PP
Pasaro / Torino (Under 158) @ 8/11 Skybet
Torun / Wloclawek (Over 150.5) @ 4/6 Stan James
Others I like are Zvezda to cover the spread but think they could res a few players for the Euroleague.
Fancy Yesilgiresun to cover against Fenerbahce but could go either way tbh.
Torino to possibly cover but might wait for inplay on these.
All 2pt stakes….
Good luck!
On these as usual @hunter. Bottled it yesterday with your singles as had quite a lot already locked in on the NFL and football – but picked 4 – standardly picked the two that lost haha
Was a bit apprehensive about such a huge outlay myself but was confident I’d get some profit.
Well, out of the 2 that lost I managed to add them to my fourfold lol.

Nps bud?
Evening gents. No Durant for OKC tonight so I’ll be on Russel Westbrook Over 40.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power – 3.6 points
This is currently 43.5 on bet365…you reckon that’s do-able for Westbrook?
Maybe but can’t say to take it when I’m on a lower total mate. Every basketball bet is 50/50 but in this case, mine can win and yours might not.
Just seen your post Raoul haha, like it. Must have gone up though as yours is 38 now.
Well done Ross mate and anyone else with a winner last night!
Haha yea I thought you’d come with a similar bet! :P
Awesome sign that mine’s jumped to 38.
Good luck!
Join you both…go big RUSS
Superbowl 50 outright fancy Carolina 7/2 general 15-1 good balanced team .newton got good legs as well as good arm .home field advantage as no1 seed .. Also think cincinatti over over priced at 28/1 with hills Dalton is a lose but has never convinced in the playoffs .jordan and john b and lee any thoughts
I’m on Arizona @ 9/2 EW. I don’t know how serious they took yesterdays game. Obviously not very serious after HT, but either way they were getting a break in the playoffs win or lose. When that offense is hot its as good as the Steelers and a lot of the Seahawks points were set up by the Special Teams. I think Arizona will be ready next time round and for me they are my pick.
Nfl fan I did seattle a few week back at 7/1 obviously they coming to my vikes now so hoping it doesn’t happen though they are running pretty hot at minute. Your right with cincinatti I don’t trust Dalton under pressure. Let’s just all have a tenner on the vikes and get on the same page ?
Darts
Butler
Hughes -1.5
Double 7/4 **WIN**
Double up tungsten great stuff
Lol lee good luck with bikes so open this year make a case for maybe 6 teams?
Westbrooks total is now 42.5 @ 8/11 @ PP so value probably gone in my opinion.
Vikes I meant Arizona noted agree Jordan couldn’t believe they were that bad last night so open Arizona v pack in champs game who will you be cheering if it happens lol
Well done hunter you did it again. Got your recommend double. Missed out on the four fold by half a point could only get less than 149.5 on the polish game at 1/2. But I think you knocked it off with sky bet. Thanks again 4/4 awesome.
That’s serious bad luck mate….such a chappy 3rd Q in that games as well. Yea Skybet seem to have good totals and usually my go to bookie for them. On a positive note, well done on the double.
*crappy
Hunter…. Nice one on the eurohoops 4 fold. It’s rescued my day.
I take my hat off to you… Yet again great tipping

Looked as if it was gonna be another 3 from 4 after that abysmal 3rd Quarter in the Polish game but a good 3rd saved the day. The other 3 were pretty comfortable but unfortunately left Sutjeska out of my singles who covered by 15 points.
Nice vs Rennes In-play
Could go to penalties, bet on over 6.5 penalties converted. Done this several times and it hasn’t lost yet.
Odds are only 1.65 from what I remember but hopefully nailed on profit. Now I’ve called it, watch it bomb!
Looks like we’ll never know. 2-1 to Rennes. Keep an eye out for it though in the future.
Wait up Nice have equalised!! Penalties back on.
Awesome hunter strike rate unbelievable

What NBA are you on this eve? My thoughts are leaning towards just mirroring your bets hahaha

Magic +4.5
Over 213.5 in the Thunder game
GSW -7.5
Celtics – 6.5
Good luck tonight all!
good luck with the heat guy’s, i like pacers to nick it (it was more wizards being utterly hopeless than heat being very good last night)
i like magic to out hustle this pistons team as well, if reggie isnt hot then they haven’t got alot of shooters as back up…

@hunter on these, paddy always have different lines so i took -14.5 and under 152.5
Ok advice guys….I’ve just did some Inplay betting on the cavs started with £25 1st quarter did over 51.5 pts at evens .. Then £50 on over 49.5 at 8/13 .. Now thinking of putting £80 on the 3rd quarter over 48.5pts is evens.. To take me to £160.00.. Surely they will continue the high scoring in the 3rd right? or am I just gonna run into a wall lol…
Over 45.5 is 8/15 £80 will take me to £123.00
3rd quarters are usually the most dodgy mate.
Oh damn ..took the 45.5 in the end..need 5 more With 2mins 50 to go ..??
Phew….not touching the 4th..was the same with the GSW last night went over 49.5 all the way until they flop me on the 4th..?
Ok might get burned here but I’ve done £123.. 3rd quarter thunder /kings over 48.5 4/6 ….?? to bring me up to £205.00
Lol mulac should have listened to u about 3rd quarters ?..
Took
heat +3.5
Cavs -3
Can cash out for relatively the same as my original stake. Thoughts? Worried about the heat
Heat just covering the +3.5 now at HT time to sweat
WON
As predicted cavs land main bet and cover the 7.5 easily
Cavs -7.5 WINNER !!!
props of Middleton and westbrook looking good too
This heats match so close
Does anyone know if a pre match heat +3.5 bet applies to ordinary game time (not over time) as it would in a football bet? Sorry new to the basketball scene haha thanks
No mate ot counts as regular time..
Ok thanks
My 2.5 profit from tonight is going on gsw over.
Gonna wait for total to drop to 204.5 then place it
Sickening. Bet loses by ONE point, rebound or assist when Westbrook shoots 6-23 on the night. 17 points, 15 assists and 8 rebounds.
Russell Westbrook Over 40.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power – 3.6 points **LOSE**
Looked like he had a rebound in the 3rd that wasn’t counted too, worth keeping an eye on it
