THERE'S a stellar line-up for the first PGA event of the year as the big names head for Hawaii.

The Hyundai Tournament of Champions, restricted to players who won a Tour event last season, tees off at 5pm British time and Aussie ace Jason Day heads the betting as 15-2 favourite.

He's followed by the likes of Matt Kuchar at 17-2 and Bubba Watson at 9s but I like the look of Ryder Cup star Patrick Reed at 18s and Billy Horschel at 28s.

On the Euro Tour the South African Open gets under way this morning and Branden Grace – fresh from winning the Alfred Dunhill Championship last month – is 8-1 to lift the trophy ahead of his compatriots Charl Schwartzel (10-1), Hennie Otto (18-1) and Ernie Els (20-1).

It's another busy day of tennis action with the likes of Novak Djokovic, David Ferrer and Tomas Berdych on court in Brisbane and Canada v Italy and USA against Czech Repbulic at the Hopman Cup.

Elsehwere there's highlights such as Test cricket, BDO World Darts and three matches in the NBA. Post your sporting tips and thoughts here.

    I think there’s some value in Svitolina to beat Kerber@ 7/4. Svitolina has proven she’s capable of getting the better of Kerber before and with two very convincing wins under her belt already this week she has a good shot of doing it again. I have already tipped Svitolina as an outside bet for the title so won’t be putting much on this one, but a single worth considering.

  2. Ad 9 years ago

    Starts any minutes. Kerber has been drifting

  3. Ad 9 years ago

    over 21.5 games in svitolina v kerber. can see this one going the distance with plenty of drama and breaks.

  4. Ad 9 years ago

    pays 4/5 and looks solid

  5. Waynes World 9 years ago

    Tennis treble to save the night, pays about 1/1
    Sharapova
    Wozniacki
    Pospisil

    GL

  6. Waynes World 9 years ago

    For the golf i’ve backed Otto in the SA open ew. Will have a look at the hyundai in the morning and post tips :)

  7. Ad 9 years ago

    Get in Svitolina!
    The perfect match from a betting point of view.
    Over 21.5 games @ 4/5
    Svitolina win @ 7/4

    And the 50/1 tournament outright stays alive.

    I stuck a couple of quid on her in-play at 32/1 as well!

    Hopefully I’ll wake up to find Pospisil, Sharapova, Vesnina, Safarova and Halep have all won!
    That treble looks good Wayne’s World. But this is crazy season so let’s just cross our fingers and hope! I left Wozniaki alone just because Goerges could always catch fire….but she probably won’t!

  8. Brian 9 years ago

    Thanks again Huggybear with the single,
    Just missed a full house on the 2 singles and a double with Atilla’s, -4.5 and the Pelicans, they were knocked by 0.5 !!

    Appreciated lads

  9. huggybear 9 years ago

    BUT JUST SINGLES FOR ME , I DO OK AT IT…

    ANYONE ON ???

    tonights single for me is gsw to cover the 11 against the pacers ,

    also been reading a few tips calling the pelicans/hornets under 193….

  10. aj 9 years ago

    Andrew Whittington v Marcos Baghdatis – 2AM

    Under 19.5 Games @ 1/1 *LOST*

    Finished 7-5 6-3 – 2 games too many. If only he could’ve got that first set finished quicker!
    On to the next one.

    Ad – well done on your Svitolina bet, I watched the first few games before falling asleep. Always good to see young players do well.

    Ana Ivanovic has started poorly but even if she loses this set is more than capable of winning the next two. Any thoughts on the 1/1 available for her in-play?

    TONIGHTS SUPER SINGLE..

    Miami Heat vs. Portland Trail Blazers

    PTB TO COVER THE -8.5 , ALSO GONNA LOOK AT THE POINTS TOTAL IN THE KNICKS / HOUSTON GAME AND WILL DOUBLE IF LOW ENOUGH…

    (hate backing heat games , they always stitch me up)

  13. heimdall 9 years ago

    so james duckworth comes in atp top 100. he beated an another top player.

  14. heimdall 9 years ago

    on safarova to win. 2/1 inplay

  15. Ad 9 years ago

    Safarova just served for the second set and blew it completely. Tight, tight tennis.

    • heimdall 9 years ago

      in tie break safarova clearly won

  16. Ad 9 years ago

    iddy-
    i’ve just seen that Zheng beat Diyas. Did you back her in the end?

    • heimdall 9 years ago

      halep zheng 2-0 … good odds

    • Ad 9 years ago

      serena’s tactic at 4-4 break point down seemed to be to scream, grunt and squeel as loud as possible every point! im worried that was the moment fr Lucie. Pressure is well and truly on her now. Will she find her serve??

  17. SWJL 9 years ago

    Good to have the golf back. Like the look of Kuchar and Watson in the Hyundai. Stallings could be a good value outsider at 80/1. In South Africa, have had a little flutter on JB Kruger at 25/1.

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      SWJL, or golf tipster Ace Venturer should be back in business soon.

  18. Iddy 9 years ago

    Posted last night;

    I am on a Canadian double tonight in the tennis at the Hopman Cup;
    BOUCHARD d Pennetta 8/13
    POSPISIL d Fognini 2/5
    Double pays around 1.2/1
    Won – hope some of u got on

  19. Iddy 9 years ago

    AD – I never did the Zheng single bet in the end. You put me off!!!! Had it in my personal Hollywood acca, but something else let that down anyways.

  20. aj 9 years ago

    Djokovic v Karlovic

    Under 21.5 Games @ 5/6 (Bet365)

    Surprised at this as I thought the market would be set at 19.5

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Aj- no match with Karlovic in has ever been set at 19.5!! Worlds best server and worlds worst returner!

  21. Ad 9 years ago

    ah sorry! I just didn’t think one should read too much into matches that happened over a year and a half ago given the age an improvement of Diyas since then.

    well done on the canadian double. Pospisil wasa a banker, really wish id gone big on 2-0. Fabio’s a joke. I’ll be all over whoever his next opponent is!

  22. Ad 9 years ago

    backed Safarova @ 15/1 first set, covered Serena 7/2 third set. Still need Safarova to win to win my pre-match bets and land my tip. Come on Lucie. Needs to in it with mini breaks,shaky behind her own serve with the match on her racket.

  23. ballboy 9 years ago

    Hi ad what country you based in? Just querying time difference as want to view tips. In UK myself?

  24. Ad 9 years ago

    backed Safarova @ 15/1 first set, covered Serena 7/2 third set. Still need Safarova to win to win my pre-match bets and land my tip. Come on Lucie. Needs to in it with mini breaks,shaky behind her own serve with the match on her racket.

  25. Hudmystar 9 years ago

    Hi dudes.

    Yesterday’s Nuba tip was one winner one loser I’m afraid sorry for those that lost I’ll try and post again today if I get anything. Hard going though at low odds so will have to post a few winners now. Again sorry for any losses

  26. Ad 9 years ago

    So close. If anyone was following in play they’ll have made money. But very frustrating. Serena played much better than against Bouchard but was still there for the taking once Lucie stepped her game up. You cant beat Serena if you’re a bag of nerves serving for the match though.

  27. Iddy 9 years ago

    Ad – wtf is happening with Fed today? Set and a break down v Millman??
    Is he doing it to make Rafa feel better.

  28. Ad 9 years ago

    no idea iddy– only just seen the score. I nearly backed Millman on handicap based on his crazy form but noone was giving him chance and i don’t like betting against Rog if i can help it.

  29. Ad 9 years ago

    Backing Rog at 2/1- easiest decision of my life :p

  30. James 9 years ago

    Waaaaaah! Had Fed to win 2-0 to wrap up a 7 fold acca on the tennis. Thank the lord that I covered it with Millman to win a set.

    Madness!

  31. Ad 9 years ago

    Unlucky James. Fed in his first game back was one I avoided. Millman has won like 30 straight matches or something silly and Rog doestn dominate people quite like he used to. Glad you managed to get a cover in at least.

    Ballboy – im in the UK mate. Where are you?

  32. James 9 years ago

    I’m normally pretty sharp on the tennis and set betting etc. – did not expect that.

    It seems that the way forward with the tennis, is to pick out the shock result, of which there have been may lately.

  33. Ad 9 years ago

    Yeah, but this period of the season isn’t reflective of the season as a whole. There are always likely to be more surprises when people are coming back after a break having spent the off season tweaking their game. It’s why I’ve been advising low stakes on my tips as I know the strike rate probably won’t be as high as it should be with favorites falling to opportunistic underdogs.

  34. Ad 9 years ago

    Treble:
    Djokovic 2-0 Karlovic (Doha 14:00)
    Wawrinka to beat Muller (Chennai 04:00)
    Wozniaki to beat Zahlavova Strycova (Aukland 04:00)

    Pays 1/1

    I’ve already tipped Nishikori in a double with Pospisil who won this morning and would advise adding him in if you don’t fancy any of those or want to do a 4-fold.

  35. Steven 9 years ago

    If you’re short of a Golf preview from Ace Venturer any week Mr Fixit, I’m more than happy to write one.

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      Steven, you’re welcome to put anything up as a comment but Ace will be back soon – he’s just waiting for the right tournament.

  36. mlac 9 years ago

    i have lopez in my acca…wish i didnt now

    the slovenia guy looks better than him in every way, lopez only can win points if bedene makes mistakes..

    beine is just under evens to win..

  37. Ad 9 years ago

    I haven’t seen any of the lopez match.
    That doesn’t sound encouraging!
    Just put a tenner on him @ 7/4. We shall see!

  38. mlac 9 years ago

    he literally has no winning shot, he only tries to chip or spin the ball back in to play with his backhand, his forehand is pathetic.

    here’s hoping he can out experience the younger oppenant as my acca was looking very good…

  39. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Well it was a poor enough bet by me yesterday. Nieminen had 2 match points but the duck had a good season last year and on home turf should have been avoided. It seems like there were a good few winners through the night so well done all. I wont be posting bets again until my betting associate returns from his holidays at the end of the week as he knowledgeable and a joint pot always makes you less willing to take risks. Its too bad there’s no way of doing a sports thread double. I’d say we’d do well

  40. mlac 9 years ago

    Tennis is so difficult to predict, with heavy favouirtes regulary losing…
    lopez a top 15 player in the world is being made to look stupid by a player not in the top 100.

  41. Ad 9 years ago

    Mlac – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We are in the midsts of upset season. There are always shocks here and there, but never more so than at the start of the year. Low, level stakes and patience

  42. Capone31 9 years ago

    Great shout on Karlovic vs Djokovic can def see a tie breaker and going the distance 3 sets

  43. Ad 9 years ago

    Djokovic 2-0 surely. But I have put a few quid on Karlovic to win 7-6 @ 7/1 just in case

  44. Capone31 9 years ago

    Set 2

    Over 10.5 @1/1

    Over 12.5 @11/8

    Neither man will lose serve

  45. Capone31 9 years ago

    Ad, Novak can’t handle Karlovic serve

  46. Ad 9 years ago

    Just has to be patient. Karlovic won’t break Novak and if his serve drops below this level even for one game Novak will pounce.

  47. aj 9 years ago

    Karlovic serve has spoilt my bet lol

    Under 21.5 games *LOST*

    Djok didn’t even look like breaking in this first set.
    I didn’t think it would be easy but as I expect Djok to win 2-0 I thought 6-4 6-4 wasn’t too much to ask!

    I know require a 6-2 MAX second set – highly unlikely, writing this bet off early.

  48. Capone31 9 years ago

    Hopefully 2nd goes the same, no breaking serve

  49. Ad 9 years ago

    Aj,
    NEVER back a Karlovic match to go unders! I’m not sure why you thought the bar would be set at 19.5?! He’s never set that low! To be fair I did think novak would have broken him by now and he’s so good at returning I didn’t fancy backing there to be a tiebreak. But djokovic to win 7-6 in play on both sets is where I put my money after the first few games

  50. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    BERDYCH available at 1/2 to beat Gasquet. I thought I’d just give my opinion on this encounter as it could be good value. Last time out between these two berdych won comfortably. I’ve watched berdych play a few exhibitions recently and he looked good. So I believe he is in good form. I don’t really know how gasquet is playing at the moment but he seems to be doing well aswell. However I think when berdych is on top form he’s tough to beat so he’d be my pick. Anyone see gasquet play recently

  51. aj 9 years ago

    Ad – Live and learn I suppose. I always find the bookies to be extremely tight with Djokovic matches(rightly so), giving nothing away. When I saw the 21.5 I felt that 6-4 6-4 could be the call and took the chance. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be and I will now be well aware of Karlovic next time.

  52. Ad 9 years ago

    Brian Tennis-
    I was waiting for the Berdych odds with interest with a view to jumping on. He’s been hitting the ball really well this week and should be able to dominate Gasquet. What’s putting me off though is how well Gasquet apparently played in his last match. He was pretty good in his opener and stepped it up another level by all accounts.
    Also worth noting that Gasquet thumped Berdych in the Davis cup in september, though that was on clay and in France. As you say, when they played on a hard court in China a month later i was Berdych who did the thumping. The h2h is all square.

    Im backing Berdych 2-1 @

  53. Capone31 9 years ago

    Over 10.5 @1/1 Winner :)

    • Ad 9 years ago

      easy money capone, well done

  54. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Not sure what I was looking at but Berdych seems to be at best 4/9

  55. James 9 years ago

    What’s the thoughts on Berdych? I quite fancy Berdych to beat Gasquet comfortably…

  56. Capone31 9 years ago

    Over 12.5 @11/8 Winner :)

    Easy is right Ad

  57. Capone31 9 years ago

    Quality from Karlovic,

    Set 3 over 12.5 anyone? :)

  58. ballboy 9 years ago

    Great tip ad

  59. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Ad I couldn’t really predict a set score. It could be a good bet since Gasquet is supposedly playing well. I think there’s a lot more luck involved with set score so hopefully it works out for you. Berdych is 0.5/1 for match betting now but I’d take the 3/5 first set bet because hopefully I’d have a winner before the drama begins. I think if both are playing well in the first set Berdych takes it. Mind you I’d rather get a perspective from someone who’s watched Gasquet play this week before I’d be happy to bet

  60. Ad 9 years ago

    Djoker@ 7/1
    Karlovic to bottle it!

  61. Ad 9 years ago

    no way! i was on a dog walk so couldnt watch, just a serving masterclass im guessing?! Amazed ivo brok Novak. who had that result pre-match?! be minted by now

  62. LewyT 9 years ago

    Berdych and seppi to win

    1.6/1

  63. Capone31 9 years ago

    Not much Novak could do about that, prob diff story on grass

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Ivo would prob have won in straight sets on grass! Clay would be game over, but grass or fast hard, serving like that, noones got a chance!

    Darts Tip:

    Waites to beat Montgomery 4/9

    Last night I watched the darts on BT sport and Ted Hankey and Ray Stubbs talked about this game and said that Montgomery had a fall the other day outside his hotel and is really struggling to make the game tonight.Feeling is he will play but through the pain barrier rather than hand Waites a bye through to the quarter finals.Waites would have been my shout to win the game anyway but with this injury to Ross ‘The Boss’ you should see him win with something to spare so i’m suggesting:

    Waites to beat Montgomery 4/9

    Waites -1 v Montgomery 4/5

    • Sam 9 years ago

      Good shout on Scott Waites tonight Jamie180, Montgomery looks like he’s really struggling this ‘pain’ from his ‘fall’ haha :’)!

  65. Ad 9 years ago

    These upsets are just getting silly now!
    Novak Djokovic losing for the first time in forever….to the nearly 36 year old Karlovic!?!
    There goes my outright tip of Novak to win Doha.
    On to Halep, Goffin, Svitolina and Baksinszky to pick up the slack now.
    I really cant wait till the Australian open, these early tournaments are exhausting!

  66. Ad 9 years ago

    If that performance has converted anyone into a DR IVO fan, the big man is available to go on and lift the trophy @ 5/1. He will probably be a bit flat physically and emotionally for his next match after that, but who knows!

  67. Furthermore 9 years ago

    Another good day yesterday

    Went 3-1

    GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS -11 WON
    WASHINGTON WIZARDS -14.5 LOST
    MILWAUKEE BUCKS -6.5 WON
    HOUSTON ROCKETS -6 WON

    That’s three days in a row with profit since betting only on NBA and no accas.
    Let’s make it four in a busy row.
    Will post my bets in a bit

  68. JamesSpursFan 9 years ago

    Definitely will bag against Ivo in his next match after that! Nice little Bunsen burner on the tie break beat!

  69. Ad 9 years ago

    Tip:

    Berdych v Gasquet :

    over 21.5 games @ 4/5

  70. Ad 9 years ago

    Sorry 4/6

    Over 22.5 is 1/1 for anyone after bigger odds or double with overs in the seppi v dodig game.

  71. ballboy 9 years ago

    Ad thoughts on large bet for nishikori?

  72. Furthermore 9 years ago

    So here we go

    HOUSTON ROCKETS -11.5
    CHARLOTTE HORNETS +12.5

    Same as yesterday I expect a blowout in Knicks game. Tho didn’t happen yesterday cos Wizards let a 17 point lead slip away in last two minutes. Well it ain’t gonna happen today.

    How come Knicks gets 11.5 points while Hornets which are a better team gets 12.5 points ok rested raps at home against a b2b Hornets. Nah give me the points, I have no much doubts that Hornets will loose but they should cover this.

  73. Ad 9 years ago

    I wouldn’t advise it ballboy. I think Nishi will win, but this just isn’t the time of season to be lumping on anyone. Just look at what’s happened so far this week:
    Rafa beated by 34 year old, outside the top 100 Berrer
    World Number 1 and imperious Novak Djokovic beaten by nearly 36 year old Karlovic.
    Serena bageled by Pennetta and smashed by Bouchard.
    There just aren’t any guarantees. Tomic is looking good so far and enjoys playing on home soil so it isn’t impossible he could play a stormer and score an upset.

  74. ballboy 9 years ago

    Nishikori at 1/3 I think tomic only performs in front of ignorant a issue crowds.what u fancy?

  75. Ad 9 years ago

    kei is still available @ 2/5 with boylesports. he should win. and i tipped him a few days ago to do so as his odds were bound to shorten with most bookies.
    I posted a NAP yesterday of a Nishikori and Pospisil double so i’m obv quite confident about his chances. But there’s only so confident you can be at this stage in any season.

  76. Ad 9 years ago

    Berdych looks v comfortable. Overs bet looking poor. MIght back Berdych to win set 2 with nishi to win for an evens single.

  77. Ad 9 years ago

    my unders bet was so bad im going to now bet under a much lower total! under 16 games pays 11/10. needs one more berdych break. could be 6-0 the way its going!

  78. Ad 9 years ago

    Well Berdych is the man to beat this week. I read too much into Gasquets performances against Andujar and Bolelli when I should have been focusing on Berdych.

    The pre-match overs tip fell woefully short but I managed to recoup the losses by getting on unders in play when the pattern of the match became clear.

    Hope noone lost money by backing overs on my advice, I apologise if so, it was a poor tip. Always follow tennis bets in-play whenever possible. Once it’s clear how a game’s panning out, bad bets can be made up for and big profits can be made.

  79. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Wow just seen the score in Berdych vs Gasquet. He must be playing awesome

  80. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Irina Camelia Begu to beat date Krumm tonight is 5/7. That to me seems like a good bet considering date krumm was well beating earlier in the week by a lesser player than begu. Begu impressed me last season and she finished the season well. 1st set is currently 4/5 for Begu but oddly her odds appear to be rising across the board. Anyone have any thoughts on this match

  81. Ad 9 years ago

    Begu is great when she’s on and crap when she’s off. Could definitely blast her way past KDK but she could blow it too. KDK is such a battler and will make her play a lot of balls, not one I want to call really. Go with your instincts. Experience and fight Vs petulant youth and the bigger game…
    My instincts say KDK, but at 44 she’s surely going to run out of steam any day now!

  82. Attila 9 years ago

    Nothing from me today guys…just on Huggy’s PTB tip. GL all!

  83. Waynes World 9 years ago

    Darts tonight got my eyes on 3 bets. Dont want to mess around with anything risky especially after the past few days. GL all

    Waites vs Montgomery

    Waites win 2/5
    Waites -1.5 8/11
    Waites most 180s 8/13

  84. Billy 9 years ago

    Have bet the draw in Australia v India test match at 6/4 for a few quid trying to recover loses. Any opinions to help me decide if to accept the cash out on betfair under half the winnings. The draw now 4/9 and Australia win is 21/10. Can’t decide and not really an expert but could realy do with the help.

  85. Furthermore 9 years ago

    Billy I have an advice for you, don’t bet on anything you don’t know. Believe me I’m saying this from experience. And I got no idea about your bet aswell and I don’t know a poo about cricket

  86. James 9 years ago

    Billy – regarding the cricket, Australia have won the series so there isn’t really any incentive for either side to play for a draw. Could well be a result either way in this one

  87. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Ad you make a fair point about her dips in form. Looking at date Krumm’s last match it’s clear she hasn’t hit her form yet. A big hitter like Begu coming back for the new season I think she’ll at least be able to hold it together for a set and 4/5 first set seems reasonable, considering date Krumm isn’t on top form. First set begu would be my pick. However I just wanted to hear your point of view on the match as I thought it might be value. Probably best left alone

  88. James 9 years ago

    Can someone cook up a decent double / treble on some American sport for tonight, please?

  89. Capone31 9 years ago

    Montgomery mustn’t have fell hard enough lol

  90. Iddy 9 years ago

    I’m on a the following double tonight; both qualies at Sydney.
    Begu d Krumm 8/13
    Wickmayer d Babos 10/11
    Double pays 2.1/1
    Keep it low stake as it’s a bit of a risk but both should win.

  91. Tony Montana 9 years ago

    Tennis tonight ad?

  92. Mr Fishman 9 years ago

    hornets ,knicks and mia heat all money line pays 271/1

  93. Bertie 9 years ago

    Ross Montgomery who would have beaten any player on the planet tonight including Gary Anderson/phil taylor will no doubt now get thrashed by Martin Adams …funny old thing is sports betting

  94. Ad 9 years ago

    any five fold of favourites Is bound to be a a bit risky the way things have been doig, but this should give me a run for my money:

    Wozniaki d Zahlavova Strycova
    Dellacqua d Watson
    Venus d Davis
    Berdych d Seppi
    Nishikori d Tomic

    Pays 3.6/1 with BV

  95. Tony Montana 9 years ago

    Any reason you havent put either of sharapova or wawrinka in Ad?

  96. Ad 9 years ago

    A venus/ Berdych/ wozniaki 2-0 treble pays around 3/1 and I’ll also be having me some of that.

  97. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Ad that looks like a great bet. I would leave out wozniaki though. She was terrible in a couple of the exhibition matches I seen her in recently. 1/5 doesn’t seem like great value also considering she lost last time out to strycova. But still 3.6/1 looks a steal

  98. Ad 9 years ago

    Wawrinka really should win but I think I’ve been put off my the big server toppling Djokovic today!
    My reasons for leaving him and Maria out are the same. I think they’re more liable to throw in a wobbly performance than the others. I think 1/5 is too short against an impressive Svitolina. Stan will probably cruise 2-0 but I prefer the bigger odds on Dellacqua as Muller has a huge serve but Watson has nothing!

  99. Ad 9 years ago

    Brian Tennis- good point, that defeat was on grass though. Caroline’s worst surface. I just think Wozniaki’s consistency will match up really well against Strycova. She played okay against Vandeweghe but it was unforced errors that won her the match. Wozniaki is playing more aggressively recently too and don’t think Strycova won’t be able to dictate the way she did at
    Wimbledon.
    Stan is the same price (2/9) to beat Muller, so maybe sub him in if you fancy the 5-fld but think there’s less chance of an upset there.

    Unfortunately I only bet in store so it’s to late now. Plus I enjoy it more when I bet with my bud and we use a joint pot. He’s back at the end of the week so I’ll start betting again then. But that in no way looks like an over 3/1 bet. Good luck with it.

    ahk cool, yeah, I saw you say that before. Two brains are better than one and all that! And at least you’ve always got someone else to blame if it all goes teets up!

    Looking forward to the battle of the Aussie serving machines at 01:00 tomorrow morning, Groth might be worth a look on the handicap + 3.5 games @ 20/21. It’s the only time this year there’s any chance of Raonic coming off court not having hit the fastest serve! This should be a match of few breaks and could be a tight, tie-break riddled afair. Those odds seem generous to me and are significantly better than all other bookies are offering for that handicap.

    Anyone got a tip on ny knicks vs houston rockets? Will be watching and want to make it a tad more interesting

    • i-Try 9 years ago

      The Rockets should blow the Knicks away, but back to back on the road and their inconsistency says otherwise. -12 on the spread is a lot of points when you take these factors into account. So The Rockets will either get crazy and win big or coast it by about 6 points.

      Hence why Il only be betting in play on this game.

    Groth v Raonic

    Two great servers, two poor returners. The best bet here must be overs.

    Groth has yet to lose serve so far this week, holding 26 times over 5 sets of tennis. He only lost 10 points on serve against Lleyton Hewitt in his first round match, hitting 14 aces. He hit 21 aces against Kubot.

    Raonic is obviously one of the games very best servers, and given how poor Groth’s return game is he should be pretty comfortable behind it today.

    I may be being a bit unkind in calling Raonic’s return game poor, but it is certainly not a strength. He will go for broke and try to hit winners, but is unlikely to have much success against Groth’s monster serve. The same is even more true in reverse, so expect both men to swing at their returns and hope for the best.

    Raonic’s extra quality in the all round game should get him through, but I would be surprised if we didn’t see at least two tight sets and at least one tie-break somewhere along the way.

    Over 22.5 games @ 17/20.

    Doing a bet there on cricket and the bookies put up the wrong runs for a couple of seconds. I bet on it straight away. The runs in my bet are the low runs. Will I win.

    My NBA Bets (Iv won last 2 nights, so hoping for a 3rd)
    (Spread bets)

    All the games are tough to pick on the Spread, but…

    Im going with the Blazers -8.5 not just because Im a Blazers fan but because they rank first in rebounds and the Heat rank last. The dominance on the boards should give Portland an easy home win.

    Hornets @ Toronto – I think Toronto will win but +12.5 for the Hornets should cover it.

    Rockets Vs Knicks – the spread is right on the line here, so I wont be betting on it, but if I had to choose Id go Knicks +12

    max, slagging folk off and calling them a ‘fool’ for putting up a tip that you followed and didn’t win might have something to do with it

  107. Ad 9 years ago

    I also like the look of Lopez toppler Bedene to beat Garcia Lopez at 11:30 in Shenzen tomorrow. Top performance today and has been in top form all week, not yet dropping a set over 5 matches. He is averaging just over 90% of points won behind his first serve and should have enough to get past a fairly indifferent GGL

    Pays 1/1

  109. mlac 9 years ago

    ad that looks good to me, however although bedene was decent, it had more to do with lopez being piss poor.

  110. max 9 years ago

    Scott ok maybe I chose my words wrong, but I wasn’t using bad language or anything, I was highlighting the fact that these two people who “tipped” waites should not be followed, they didn’t give any evidence to back the “tip” only the fact Ross had took a little tumble. Waites could barely throw a dart, and he barely won a leg, I like the site and this thread in particular but I don’t want idiots posting tips that are aweful. I mean a 2/5 4/9 “tip” loses 4-0 is shocking. I am angry because I took this on trust but feel watching the game I was never given a decent chance of winning. I was merely sayin to regular visitors to steer clear of these two and follow the pdc and the pdc darts tips, that’s all.

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      max, Waites was widely tipped all over the place and was of course hot favourite – that’s worth bearing in mind.

  111. Brian tennis 9 years ago

    Bedene does seem like a good bet at those odds. Considering garcia lopez lost both opening sets in his previous matches I’d prefer the first set winner if it was similar odds. I just feel that garcia lopez would probably be more likely to make a comeback than Bedene. However given what we seen today Bedene will probably win in 2

  112. Ad 9 years ago

    Max – I’ve no idea who you’re referring to but backing tips by people you don’t know who haven’t given any reasoning leaves only yourself to blame im afraid. Only follow people once they’ve proven themselves would be my advice.

    1st Quarter Betting – LOST*

    Hornets Vs Raptors
    Under 50 points

    Im hoping a bet on Toronto to win at half-time will recoup this loss

  114. max 9 years ago

    ad I agree and I was 50-50 on the game I was leaning to the outsider in the darts at big price, but decided to go with two people who tipped the fav at 2/5 and 4/9 so assumed they maybe spotted something I missed. The fact the guy lost 4-0 and hardly won a leg lead me to call it a shocking tip and I stand by that. I had a post deleted for calling them fools but I’m pretty sure people have called others much worse on here, anyway I have said I like this thread and I shall just stick to the tried and tested tipsters from now on

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      max, they’re not fools – they picked the favourite and he lost to a guy whose record in the tournament is terrible. Bookies picked him as favourite too and the money stayed with Waites. It’s a shock result and they happen in all sports. If you know better back your own – if you’re not sure about darts then don’t moan about the tips.

    Raonic v groth over fsg 9.5 is just under evens …seems to be buying money
