@radu tough card today, keep changing my mind on Milano game and although I think Valencia will take advantage of home court, I’m just not sure if they’ve show enough in the previous two games to back them. Still time to ponder!
Good luck my friend?
Turkish BSL Playoffs (Game 3)
Efes @ Fenerbahce (18:00GMT)
It’s Fenerbahce’s turn to host in game 3 of thrse playoffs, after two games the overall score is now 1-1 .
Fenerbahce won a game at Efes and if they win both home games will become league champions . We had two fast games at Efes but I believe this is a totally diffrent situation and I expect to see under 160 points. Fenerbahce like to try and dictate the tempo at home and they will look to slow the ball down and play a defensive game. Their most recent home encounter against todays visitors finisged with 142 points. From their last 7 H2H home games against Efes, 5 finished under this line. Given stats and importance of this game I’m going with unders.
Under 159.5 @ 7/8 Sportingbet – 2.5pts staked.
Good luck!

Nice tipping again Hunter – was on, but odds had shortened. Toyed with U155, glad I stuck with 159! Thanks again mate
You’re welcome bud. Glad you stuck with the line! I sometimes like to wait for a better line inplay if I think the game will start with a higher tempo but knew the line would drop so went with a pre match bet on this one. Managed to get an additional small bet on 162.5 which was great!

Cycling: Criterium du Dauphine stage 3
The odds are based on this stage being a bunch sprint, but I can’t see that happen with the hard climb in the end.
Vuillermoz to win @ 51.00 with Betway – 1 point
Match-up:
Haas to beat Bonifazio @ 1.72 with 888 – 15 points
Really fancy this one. Haas is on good form finishing 88,18 and 35th in the prologue and first 2 stages. Bonifazio was 168,67 and 151th in those stages.
Match-ups:
Boasson Hagen to beat Bouhanni
Enger to beat Kristoff
Double @ 4.40 with 888 – 3 points
This double is also based on this stage not going to be a sprint, I can’t see Bouhanni and Kristoff survive the climb.
