snookerballs

THE World Grand Prix is a new addition to the snooker calender and it makes its debut on Monday with the world's top 32 players fighting it out for the £100,000 prize in Llandudno.

It's no surprise to see Ronnie O'Sullivan top the betting as title favourite at 10-3 with Sportingbet and the usual suspects are in close attendance, with Neil Robertson 15-2 at 888sport, Mark Selby 8-1 at Stanjames and Judd Trump 10-1 at totesport.

Robertson is in first-round action today and is 3-10 to Coral against Belgian youngster Luca Brecel,10-3 at William Hill, while in the battle of the Scottish former world champs it's John Higgins at 4-6 with Coral and Graeme Dott at 16-11 with 888sport.

At the Indian Wells Masters tennis Heather Watson achieved the biggest win of her career on Sunday with a stunning straight-sets elimination of Agniezska Radwanska and Tuesday sees Andy Murray in action.

The Scot faces German big hitter Philipp Kohlschreiber while the day's other matches include Bernard Tomic against David Ferrer and John Isner versus Kevin Anderson.

Other sporting highlights include stage six of the Tirreno Adriatico cycling and a busy NBA fixture list.

    SS 6 wins, 2 losses

    Raptors -2 @ 10/11 **LOSE** :(

  2. Jordan 9 years ago

    Sticking to Overs/Unders from now on. All 3 in mind have smashed the total so if anybody sees a spread SS please stop me and call me a tw*t. So Huggy if we want to do combined SS’ it’s totals or nothing. On to tomorrows picks.

  3. Shotty 9 years ago

    Going to stick one more bet up for the nba and that is the Atlanta Hawks over 101.5 team TOTAL points against the lakers, back to normal stakes for this one, pays 10/11 @Skybet

    TODAYS NBA SUPER SINGLE:

    – Cleveland Cavaliers -10.0 @ $1.92 (10 points)

    Not much to be said, Cavs are I my opinion the #1 team in the NBA right now, whereas the Magic, have not been very magical at all, especially at home where they’ve struggled all season. Cavs will rack up the points its just a matter of when they will take their foot off the gas…but I don’t think they’ll let their lead drop below 10 points. Giodluvk of you follow!

    ***WON*** – cruised it in!

  5. Shotty 9 years ago

    The Cavs smashed it Attila i had them in a double with the Spurs and its safe to say they covered there handicaps with ease! Two of the top teams in the NBA getting thr job done good to see!

  6. Jordan 9 years ago

    Nice one Attila. Should keep a record ;)

    ***POSTED YESTERDAY***

    My 2nd NBA single for today is:

    – Phoenix Suns -12.5 @ $1.92

    Knicks were blown away by 30+ yesterday, and the Suns are capable of repeating that with their explosive offence. Knicks are so bad on the road I feel this will be an easy ATS win for Phoenix.

    ***WON*** – Phoenix left it late to blow the Knicks away but they still did the job!

    @Jordan – I think that’s 7 from 8 of my NBA Super Singles posted over the past 2 weeks (not too sure tho)

  8. Jordan 9 years ago

    I don’t think it is because you don’t post when you lose but good job on the Suns. Half a point. I’ve had a few of those recently.

  9. Attila 9 years ago

    Yeh but From memory I have only lost 1 of my posted Super Singles in the past 2 weeks. I’ve not been posting everyday so maybe it’s 5 from 6 or whatever.

  10. Attila 9 years ago

    Going to stick to doing the Singles…my balance is way healthier since changing my betting style (plus ive finally managed to stop chasing losses!)

  11. Jordan 9 years ago

    Christ that took an age to end. Bit of a pull back.

    Spurs/Wolves over 199.5
    Suns -3.5
    Hawks -1.5

    @ 13/10 @ 365 **WIN**

  12. Jordan 9 years ago

    Nothing wrong with chasing losses mate. Might lose the next bet the next day. Still counts for the same. Paid off just then for me and on my LA Galaxy team goals.

  13. Jordan 9 years ago

    I do like singles but much easier on totals. Easier cover if it’s going your way. Still get my joy on the trebles though. Not sure what time it is down under but I’m off to bed. Night mate.

  14. Attila 9 years ago

    Chasing losses is BAD if you don’t have the time to put research in. I’ve chased blind before and won sometimes but lost more times. If there is a 2nd choice bet that you already had in mind that’s been at least sort of researched than chasing the loss isn’t too silly I guess.
    I still rembwr Huggys advice during his long streak with his NBA NAPS, that over the long term singles really are the way to go (excepting Jordan’s Trebles, lol)

    This is the 5th leg between the Sakers & Goyang. Servers is tied at 2-2. I’ve been on the Unders in all 4 play offs and all 4 have gone Under so I’m going to ride it again but thought I’d post it this time.

  18. huggybear 9 years ago

    case in point last night , clippers blew my double straight away and i chased a little on portland and recovered and profited albeit very slightly , singles is the best way 2 go and Mr f and raal taught me tbh.

    jordan , agree with you regarding totals and the easy cover.

    we`ll chat later and see if we both like a ss , at the moment b365 showing few totals.

    p.s landed another top treble , well done

  19. RPC 9 years ago

    Just got to say thanks for the nba tips, enjoying waking up to winnings on a daily basis.

  20. Attila 9 years ago

    I don’t think totals are any easier to pick than handicap winners…just depends on the game. But I dont/can’t cover so maybe that’s why it’s better for you guys to do total? It’s all the same to me :-)

  21. huggybear 9 years ago

    attila cavs back in action tonight against the heat , thinking this could go high , the 204 seems low and if cavs get their usual 110 + i can see miami getting the 90 ish needed.

    what u think ?

    ps your on a nice run , i`ve had a few with you , keep it up mate

  22. Attila 9 years ago

    Hey Huggy mate, 204 seems very low…but I’m always wary of the Heat, their games generally go under due to their right defence and poor offence. I’d be more inclined to take Cavs at the line again…haven’t researched yet, I’ll get back to you later on it once I’m informed :-)

  23. huggybear 9 years ago

    cheers mate , look forward 2 it , also think the cavs will cover too . see where the pro`s money is later

  24. jimba 9 years ago

    cheers mate , look forward 2 it , also think the cavs will cover too . see where the pro`s money is later

  25. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Atilla what was the average total between those two koreans teams in last 4 meetings

  26. huggybear 9 years ago

    pumadrifter average not really that important , h2h recently puts the total u152.5 which is where attila is taking it.

    tbh it`s worth a small bet as these trends seem to continue.

  27. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Im on it..lets try ;)

  28. huggybear 9 years ago

    attila , if that game stays close and keeps this pace its going over by 15

  29. Attila 9 years ago

    Puma, not one of the last 4 games went over 150. This is their 5th game against in other in like a week so they’ll be pretty tired. Trends are very consistent with Korean B’ball, I usually have a winner in them I just don’t post in these foreign leagues as I don’t trust em, lol

  30. Attila 9 years ago

    Live betting has the total at 157.5 atm so the 152.5 under is still in it…just need 1 tight quarter and will be all good.

  31. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Looks bad :( they are scoring for fun lol. Possible that they will struggle in 2nd half?

  32. Attila 9 years ago
  33. Attila 9 years ago

    All good mate, just hang in there and enjoy :-) One of their quarters the other day was only 28 points, whilst the others were all around 40…
    They have been sinking the 3 pointers fairly well today tho…they normally miss most of them, haha

  34. De Niro 9 years ago

    Tipping two upsets in the ladies tennis tonight if either comes off I will be very glad

    Garcia @ 5/2 to beat A Ivanovic

    Jankovic 2-0 @ 9/2 v M Keys

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Garcia’s got to be worth a shot really hasn’t she. Had my eye on this one fora while. A slightly surprising price considering she rolled Ana so recently. I’m hoping you’re wrong about Keys though as I have her in my anteposts!

    • De Niro 9 years ago

      Ad your the man re tennis so I would think Keys is the likeliest winner for sure, and Keys can smash almost anyone on her day just thought 9/2 is too big,easy trade out if Jankovic nicks the first set, just maybe she’ll get nervous, & Jankovic maybe can still worry the youngster,

  35. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Well if all goes in in 1st half.. Usually all goes out in 2nd. Looks bettet now tho :d im enjoying it for sure eitherways :))

  36. Attila 9 years ago

    I’ve never seen so many 3 pointers land in a Korean B’ball game…typical. Hoping for a 30 point quarter next which will give us 40 or so points to play with in the 4th.

  37. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Atilla is game interrupted ? The scoreboard is being freezed right now lol

  38. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Well done Attila your back on Fire.

  39. Attila 9 years ago

    Cross fingers that both teams realise the Sakers have the win and just cruise the 4th…not looking likely though. Apologies in advance guys…4 straight unders, guess they were due an over.

  40. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Oh my bad im on the go and bad signal…we need 27 points in 4th for our bet to come in…still hope lol

  41. Attila 9 years ago

    Scoreboard frozen but im watching the game… 73-54, start of the 4th.

  42. Attila 9 years ago

    8 mins to go actually…only 2 points scored in 1st 2 mins.

  43. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Lets hope orions fans help us and cause game to be cancel ! :d

  44. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Yayyy lets gooo

  45. Attila 9 years ago

    very low scoring quarter mate…we might just scrape in under the 28 if they keep up this angry defense!

  46. OriaZ 9 years ago

    @Attila, good call on the cavs -10! Thx.

    @Shotty, didn’t have a market for the half-time points on the spurs but took the over 110 team points full time since you were very confident :D and it came in. Thx.

    Definitely on Cleveland -5.5 tonight. They’ll just have too much to handle for the Heat.

  47. Attila 9 years ago

  48. Shotty 9 years ago

    OriaZ glad you was on it mate! They smashed it

  49. Attila 9 years ago

    Cavs line just dropped to -3.5 (cant find any team news to suggest a swing to Miami…strange!)

  50. Ad 9 years ago

    A decent day at the tennis but it could have been better if Kyrigos hadn’t rolled his ankle at the finish line. That’s sport though so what can you do!?

    Monday:

    Kohlschreiber d Murray @ 5/1

    This is a pretty hopeful swing I’m taking here, but Kohlschreiber ticks the boxes I’m now looking for when it comes to trying to predict Murray upsets. Against Pospisil for example I left Murray alone because it’s the kind of matchup he’s thriving on. It’s when he’s come up against the likes of Simon and Coric recently, steady players who have defended superbly and taken the counter punch advantage away from him, frustrating him and making him beat himself, that he has struggled. Kohlschreiber at his best is a fantastic defender, with a great variety of attacking shots too, and if he can produce his A Game early on he can frustrate Murray and throw him off his rhythm. If he’s not able to do that and Murray starts really well himself it could be all over before he’s really had a chance to make Murray sweat, but I’ve seen enough chinks in Murray’s armour recently to suggest this is worth a little go.

    Tuesday:

    Pliskova d Halep @ 9/4

    The are a couple of things making me lean towards Pliskova in this one. Firstly, Halep hasn’t been completely commanding so far this week, needing three sets to get past Gavrilova and Lepchenko. She’s served 14 doubles in total over those matches to 2 aces, and that also suggests she is struggling a little. Her serve wobbled at times on her way to the title in Dubai last month, a tournament I wasn’t totally convinced by her in, and it doesn’t look like she’s stepped up a gear this week. It was in the Dubai final that she last met Pliskova, winning a tight match 6-4, 7-6. What’s worth noting though is that match was Pliskova’s 12th in 15 days, having played Fed Cup in Canada, reached the semi finals in Antwerp before jetting off to Dubai for 6 more matches. That’s some serious air miles racked up and a pretty hefty physical workload. If Pliskova had been fresher for the final against Halep, I would have backed her to win it, but by the time she reached the final her serve had left her somewhat, understandable given how many she’d hit recently! This time round she is fresh, and while the courts may not be as fast as she’d like in this matchup, I still think she has a good chance of getting past a slightly vulnerable Halep.

  51. Ad 9 years ago

    Sorry, Kohlschreiber is slightly over 6/1 with Betfair.

    Im also tempted to put a few quid on Verdasco to beat Nishikori @ just over 3/1. He played some superb stuff down in Acupulco. I’ve got Kei on the antepost though so hoping he makes it through okay.

  52. Jordan 9 years ago

    Attila when I said totals are easier I meant to cover if it’s going your way.

  53. Jordan 9 years ago

    Also Kevin Love didn’t play last night so people might think that’s a big game changer but I don’t think it is. Heat still good defensively and the crowd will be on LeBrons back all night though.

  54. JamesB81 9 years ago

    Switched over to Kyrigos match just before tie-break and saw him at 5/2 so naturally immediately put down a small stake but didn’t know about the ankle twist !!

    I’d quickly looked up theur respective tie-break stats and NK’s seemed good but the lack of time meant I didn’t have a good look, which later revealed that against top ten players, it’s very poor !!

    Donald Young won but lost the ‘modest double’ on the womens doubles and it was because of what I was preaching about ‘lazy betting’, not fully researching the match & background. However in the in-play markets I got my money back as my pair after winning their first service game, preceded to lose EVERY single service game thereafter (match full of breaks) and bet365 were still offering odds against them losing service games all the way through.

    ————————————–

    Can’t see anything for tonight that I’d go for but will probably trawl the in-play when it gets underway.

  55. Attila 9 years ago

    Is Love playing tonight do you know?

  56. Attila 9 years ago

    Hmmm, so he’s not out, but not confirmed as in – that makes it tricky for bettors!

    Think i’ll hold off on placing my bet, but for now my Super Single will most likely be Cavaliers -3.5 @ $1.92 (only IF Lebron plays).

    Will post my final choice 1-2 hours before the game once final team news is revealed.

  57. Jordan 9 years ago

    Tough one mate but I’m sure if he was out then it would say he’s out. Can’t see him wanting to miss this game.

  58. Ad 9 years ago

    Im also going to have to take Vandeweghe to beat Bouchard @ 3/1. Not sure what we’ll get from Bouchard yet this week, I’ll be tuning in to keep an eye on in play markets and just having a small pre-match bet on Coco.

  59. Ad 9 years ago

    Bouchard is 7/2 with Be t fair.

  60. Jordan 9 years ago

    Just throwing up my standard alternative bet for tonight before the SS is chosen.

    Pacers ML
    Celtics -2.5

    Just under EVS @ 265

    • Brian 9 years ago

      Found the Cav’s -3 @ Evens so had a punt on that as best ive seen going.

      Will wait for the TOTAL POINTS SS lol and that’ll be it for tonight

  61. Jordan 9 years ago

    265? That’s 365s younger brother ;)

  62. Juan 9 years ago

    R.e. – Ivanovic v Garcia – did anyone see the recent meeting? Was Garcia at the top of her game or did Ana have one of those stinker days?

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Juan- i didnt see it. But i’m pretty sure it was windy as hell and the conditions here will be very different. It might just be the bookies reeling us suckers in but those odds on Garcia seem too good to turn down.

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Juan- i didnt see it. But i’m pretty sure it was windy as hell and the conditions here will be very different. It might just be the bookies reeling us suckers in but those odds on Garcia seem too good to turn down.

  63. JimJams 9 years ago

    1/ *NAP* Kohlschreiber to beat Murray @ 9/2 with William Hill.

    – Clearly a gamble but odds massive here on a match that could go either way. If Kohli is on his game, without typical mental lapses, then he can quite easily take Murray out.

    Murray is obviously the more mentally strong player, but this could prove to be match-up that’s come just at the wrong time for Andy. A BOLD move putting this as a NAP but I can’t help myself at these odds.

    2/ *NB* Tomic to beat Ferrer @ 12/5 with William Hill.

    -Tomic is really starting to find that consistency in his game that has always been missing since he hit the pro tour. He’s coming up against a tenacious fighter who will battle to the bitter end in David Ferrer, and with whom he’s had a tough time with in the past.

    However, Ferrer typically struggles to make the adjustment required when transitioning his game from the South American clay-court swing when coming into this hard-court event, so you’ve got to go with this at these kind of odds IMO.

    Best of luck to all!

    -JJ

    • Ad 9 years ago

      JJ – pleased to see you going with Kohli as well. FYI he is 5/1 on bet fair.

      re Ferrer. An upset is certainly possible, but your reasoning is slightly flawed in that as of this year Acupolco is a hard court event, not a clay court one, so Ferrer is in fact coming here off a hard court title. And he’s had a fortnight to settle in. The reason I don’t think Tomic can win is that, despite improvements this year, he still plays too passively, and you can’t beat Ferrer with passive tennis. Despite what should happen given their respective weapons I think we will see Ferrer dictating more than Tomic and that is a recipe for a Ferrer win.

    • JimJams 9 years ago

      Ad – Thanks for educating me, as always! Thanks also for the heads up on the 5/1 with BetFred. Good luck with your selections mate!

      -JJ

    • Ad 9 years ago

      No problemo. Good luck JJ. Let’s go Kohlschreiber!

  64. Ad 9 years ago

    130/1 11-fold to keep me entertained for five minutes till Mannarino loses to Gulbis!

    Mannarino
    Monaco
    Ferrer
    Berdych
    Simon
    Dimitrov
    Keys
    Suarez Navarro
    Pliskova
    Sharapova
    Pennetta

  65. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Ad, monaco is a really good call today with nice bets ?

  66. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    *nice odds

  67. Ad 9 years ago

    I fancy him to edge out Kokkinankis Puma but I don’t really want to back him as a single on a hard court at those odds against someone with the serve and power Kokkinakis has.

    • JimJams 9 years ago

      Just to be clear Ad, are you backing Gulbis today?

      -JJ

  68. Ad 9 years ago

    Nope, I’ve got Mannarino in my crazy acca. I considered a single @ 6/5 but haven’t placed one yet. He is just the sort of steady player who will draw errors from Gulbis if Gulbis is below par. The only thing putting me off is Gulbis’ first round match which suggests he’s on his game.

  69. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Ad, can you put a safe double or treble @ evens ? Is there anything straight forward for tonight?

  70. JamesB81 9 years ago

    If only straight-forward doubles and trebles existed ie.(money trees) !!

  71. Juan 9 years ago

    Thanks AD – yes the odds seem a bit too good to be true considering the latest meeting and Garcia’s recent form (she has only lost to Kerber, Radwanska, Bacsinszky, Bouchard this year)- i havent seen the handicap yet but do you think maybe Garcia + a few games may be a safer bet? Is she reknowned for having a big serve?

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Juan- she’s got a pretty good serve. There’s a ten minutes video on youtube of the hightlights of Garcia v Ivanovic from their Acupulco match. The conditions will be different here (hotter, slower, higher bouncing court) but it should give you a good flavour of what she is about and how she can win this matchup. It’s pretty much all Garcia winners but don’t let it convince you to lump on her! Ana could have a much better day this time round and Garcia could be fatigued.

  72. Ad 9 years ago

    There’s nothing that feels especially safe tonight. I’d probably go with 2 from Keys, Ferrer and Sharapova for a double.

  73. Jordan 9 years ago

    I’m not going to be around to be able to pick a SS early enough with Huggy but I’m putting my own up for now so follow if you like.

    Wizards/Blazers Over 197 @ 10/11 @ PP

    NB Mavericks/OKC Under 212.5 @ @ 10/11 365 – Ibaka doubtful so Westbrook is on his own

    Hawks/Kings Under 210.5 @ 10/11 @ 365 – Korver and Hawford out for Atlanta, Rudy Gay out for Kings

    Either Huggy can pick his fav from here for the main SS or go on his own but those are my best bets of the night. Might be back before 11 so I’ll speak some of you then. Good luck with todays bets gents.

  74. Jordan 9 years ago

    £10 Fun Bet

    Wizards/Portland Over 190.5

  75. jimba 9 years ago

    Jordan done your bayer over 0.5 goals double with century in s.africa/s.lanka game got 2/1, i think this has a great chance!!

  76. Jordan 9 years ago

    Jimba I can’t fathom why Leverkusen are such a high price for one goal. Atletico need to score anyway and if they do it’ll mean Bayer have to score anyway which I’m sure they’ll want too. Had a few days off since Friday night and it’s not a big trip to Germany, we saw what Schalke did to Real who are essentially bigger leagues apart compared to Leverkusen and Atletico who aren’t in the best form. They’ll also be missing Tiago who plays a big part in the centre of the field so I jumped on @ 5/6 at the weekend but now best @ 3/4 from 4/5 yesterday so signs are good!

    Huggy has agreed on the SS so it’s;

    Wizards/Blazers Over 197 (now best @ 199 @ Various so a 2 point difference from when I posted less than an hour ago but should hit 200) Over 197 available @ 20/27 @ 365 if you want to be safe.

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      Big trip from Germany*

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      Jordan, one thing to consider is Atletico haven’t conceded in their last five CL games at home including Chelsea, Barca and Juventus.

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      That is one thing to consider Mr F but it doesn’t put me off. Bigger prizes in the knockouts, they can’t go and defend a 1-0 lead in Spain. Scored in every h2h tie. Schalkes performance in Madrid alone would be the biggest thing to point towards which I tipped them to score too. Leverkusen the better squad in much better form. Rested since a 4-0 win on Friday. Confidence will be high.

    • Ad 9 years ago

      looks a good bet to me Jordan.

  77. huggybear 9 years ago

    just pointing out i`m with j on the ss , both highlighted the wizards as a possible over earlier , so gonna go with that.
    i think that 204 in the cavs game seems a little low and i`m hoping for an open affair .

  78. Shotty 9 years ago

    Im with jordan and huggy on the wizards game over 197.5 picked that out before reading the comments so its re assuring to see it as the SS, going to check the games and ill come back with a single of my own later too

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      nice one shotty, will keep an eye out for it , might chuck it in a acca

  79. Ad 9 years ago

    Tempted by Vandeweghe to take down Bouchard. 3/1 in play.

  80. Ad 9 years ago

    ooooh man Bouchard just stepped it up a notch!

  81. Ad 9 years ago

    Kohli is over 6/1 to beat Murray, dno’t know why i said 5/1 having already corrected myself once today!

  82. Ad 9 years ago

    2-0 is 13/1 :p

  83. Shotty 9 years ago

    Ok my NBA bet for tonight…

    Going for the red hot Cavs over 52.5 first half team points pays 5/6 @SkyBet also going double stakes on this personally

  84. Attila 9 years ago

    NBA SUPER SINGLE:

    – Dallas Mavericks -5.5 @ $1.92 (10 points)

    After the way they smoked the Clippers the other day, and now coming off a few days rest I think the Mavs will be too strong for a tired OKC side.

    I also like Wizards to win, Celtics to cover the -8.5 & Grizzlies/Nuggets UNDER 196.0 (I’ll be having a small play on these as singles for fun).

    (Btw – I have decided not to go with the Cavs spread now as when I woke up I noticed spread is up to -5.5 whereas it was -3.5 when I sort of tipped them earlier)

  85. Ad 9 years ago

    I’m already on but 2-0 Bencic is still 3/1…..

    Looking like barry Hawkins screwed me for a nice 13/1 winner. 7 fold acca had took all the favs bar Ronnie who was 1/12 other prices ranged from 1/3 up to 8/11 Hawkins was 1/6 always tht short priced fav eh !! Just for fun so no major damage done

    • Attila 9 years ago

      @ SPARKY – it’s always the way. I was waiting on a $200 return yesterday on a Tennis Acca which was let down by Stanislas Wawrinka who i took at $1.10 odds. Kind of hesitated before i included him thinking “i’ve done this before, and it’s always the shortest price that lets it down”, but I went ahead and he was the only loser, HAHA.
      Btw – Barry Hawkins has screwed me over a few times in the snooker, I avoid him now as he’s just so unpredictable.

  87. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    Going for a 1st quarter win double at will hill paying over evens for Cavs and Celtics

  88. Ad 9 years ago

    Bencic serving for it :D

  89. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Im waitng for my man monaco…lol…why no game yet ? Im getting sleepy. Its the only fella i need for my acca to win.

  90. paul 9 years ago

    On portland wizards under 197.5

    These two will do well to get over 200

    Again I reckon theyl both be stuck in the 90s by the end. There is even an 84-82 in the h2h

    So id say a high scoring 1st quarter with points drying up in 2nd half

  91. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Hi Jordan/Attilia/Huggy

    Whats best site to look on for starting NBA lineups..i can never find lineups until game has started.

    Cheers.

  92. tomekplnd 9 years ago

    Myself I don’t see Wizards reaching 100 team total points, anyone back me up on this?

  93. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Monaco…disgrace! Onto the pithole with that smelly

  94. Jordan 9 years ago

    LeBron will play tonight! I repeat, LeBron will play tonight!

  95. tomekplnd 9 years ago

    Also the Pacers game looks like an unders for me too.

  96. Attila 9 years ago

    Wizards/Portland will go Under…. I waited for the odds to rise on Wizards and I just took them at the Moneyline for $1.87. All the money coming for Portland but I think Washington will win it by a basket in a tight, low scoring grind.

  97. Jordan 9 years ago

    That 84-82 was in 2012 Paul, teams get different players.

    Tom I do, both teams. But that’s just me, and huggy.

  98. Attila 9 years ago

    Cheers for that Jordan – although i’ve left out the Cavs/Heat game since the line drifted up on Cavs. Heat are strong at home and Cavs actually have a TERRIBLE record in Miami. If they were still -3.5 i’d take them, but not willing to take the -5.5 as I’m just not sure it will be a blowout today.

  99. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Cheers Jordan..i am on the overs Wizards/Blazerz GL All

  100. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    always the last pair on acca must f*** me up! this is insane!”

  101. Jordan 9 years ago

    Me too Wet Lettuce its mine and huggys NAP. So less of the certainty over/under thoughts boys. We’re punters. Not NBA experts. Either post the bets you’re on with odds and bookmakers or keep it schtum because you upset people, like myself, who generally has a good record on NBA, and posts his losers when he does lose.

  102. Jordan 9 years ago

    Attila the Heat have Wade and Whiteside and that is it, shouldn’t be able to hang with the Cavs, Might not be a blowout but I think they’ll win fairly comfortably. Crowd will be on LeBrons back most of the game which will be fun to watch but I need to keep an eye on my bets which is a shame.

  103. Jordan 9 years ago

    Post thoughts on why you think it might go under/over by all means but saying it will go under/over and nothing more is just pathetic. It’s 50/50. Beauty of basketball.

  104. Jordan 9 years ago

    In other news Paul George was a game time decision today so the Pacers are about to get a whole lot better yet. Didn’t start tonight though.

  105. Attila 9 years ago

    Did I upset you Jordan? Come on mate, it’s all good. I just think it will go under, that’s my thought…it’s not meant to cause any ill feelings as its yours and Hughes pick. I’m on Wizards to win, but I still think it will go under, I’m entitled to my thoughts mate :-)

  106. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Jordan, would u play that treble below ?

    ML ALL

    cavs
    celtics
    grizzlies

  107. Attila 9 years ago

    And i did give an explanation, I said I think it will be a tight, low scoring grind that will be decided by a basket. I don’t see the issue with my post mate?

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      Wasn’t you mate.

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      I didn’t actually see your post until you just said but f*ck you as well then hahaha ;)

  108. Jordan 9 years ago

    No Thomas for the Celtics. Kevin Love won’t play for the Cavs. Ibaka out for OKC.

  109. Jordan 9 years ago

    Puma I’d probably leave the Celtics out with Thomas not playing but should hold off Philly who are generally crap but its around this time the crap teams actually get better.

  110. Attila 9 years ago

    Oh, no worries Jordan, lol.
    I’m already on Celtics -8.5 so that’s not great that Thomas is out…but he was out for their last game too and they won against a better team than today so I’m still hopeful!

  111. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    what a point monaco, back in game !

  112. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    I will just stick with over 199 wizz game then…no complications.

  113. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Any lonk for Wizards game boys?

  114. Jordan 9 years ago

    Puma you’re late it’s the 2nd quarter haha

  115. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Link i mean ha.

  116. Jordan 9 years ago

    Any what wetveg??

  117. Jordan 9 years ago
  118. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Cheers Jord ha..

    Im on a radge one below..dont back anyone it will probs lose..but you never know.

    Timberwolves d Nets (home advantage)
    Kings d Hawks ( both injuries..home advantage)
    Lakers +18.5 v GSW ( GSW Will be 20+ ahead then take foot off gas i hope)

    12.9/1 bet365…loose change bet.

  119. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Jordan, no worries, I had it on already :) I hope for now all is ok, and they are scoring nicely, didnt check yet..busy watching tennis.

  120. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    My network provider has being ordered to ban links to first row sports Jordan ha.

    Cant watch link…damn you EE.

  121. Jordan 9 years ago

    Wetveg just checked the line ups for the Wolves and they have a host of key players out mate but wish you luck. Same with Nuggets.

    Putting £20 on this. Follow at your peril.

    Memphis -4.5
    Nets
    Mavs
    Cavs
    Jazz

    49/10 @ 365

  122. Jordan 9 years ago

    Ahh that’s a bummer mate. If you type in NBA stream on google you should find at least one website.

    Puma 100 points in the first half so it could be looking worse.

  123. Jordan 9 years ago

    Under 197.5 is @ 11/10 @ PP so a high scoring 3rd quarter will see good cover but I’ll post if I can mate.

  124. Shotty 9 years ago

    Exactly 100 points in the first half of the Portland game hope they pick up the pace second half so the points dont dry up

  125. Jordan 9 years ago

    Attila, Thomas or not they are looking good haha

  126. The Raider 9 years ago

    Evening all,

    I rarely post but just wanted to get some thoughts on the following evening acca… let me know what you think!

    Sharapova
    Pennetta
    Cavs
    Mavs
    LA Kings

    £10 pays £61 @ Coral

    Cheers

  127. tomekplnd 9 years ago

    Do 2nd halves tend to be more high scoring than first half?
    I understand Blazers will want to cut down Wizards lead but I am worried that the 4th will be at max a 40pointer one

  128. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    Cavs messing up 2 of my doubles here

  129. Jordan 9 years ago

    Tom, flip of a coin mate. Complete 50/50. A lot of it is down to missed shots, Portland will want to score quick as they’re down but the Wizards will play conservative. Hard to say mate.

  130. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    iight Jordan, I will keep refreshing this page so just post any cover tips.

  131. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    Going for a 1st quarter win double at will hill paying over evens for Cavs and Celtics

    -LOST-

  132. Jordan 9 years ago

    Under 197.5 @ 3/1 @ PP

  133. Jordan 9 years ago

    Now 4/1

  134. Jordan 9 years ago

    Both teams in the penalty so free throws on every foul, stopping the clock. Good for the total.

  135. Jordan 9 years ago

    5/1

  136. tomekplnd 9 years ago

    Good scoring here Jordan, surely 43/44 points should swing in for the 4th?

  137. Jordan 9 years ago

    9/2 into the 4th. That’s good cover.

  138. Jordan 9 years ago

    Here’s hoping Tom but I’ve covered now so won’t be all bad.

  139. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    how many points to cover jordan? never done this…

  140. huggybear 9 years ago

    how many points to cover jordan? never done this…

  141. Jordan 9 years ago

    Typical how the Raptors are shocking one night then can go to one of the toughest places at the moment and be winning quite comfortably!

  142. Shotty 9 years ago

    Cant believe how bad the cavs have been!

  143. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    Cavs you couldn’t finish your dinner! Thanks for taking my balance down to zero…Worse thing i ever did was start betting as it just does the exact opposite as soon as i put a bet on

  144. Jordan 9 years ago

    Puma sorry mate but I don’t think you can now. Its simple if you write down what you’ve put on.

    For example.

    £100 on Over 197 @ 10/11 returns £190.90.

    Cover on Under 197.5 @ 9/2 would need £22.50 to return £123.75.

    Over 197 = Total stake £122.50 returns £190.90 = £68.40 profit

    Under 197.5 = Total stake £122.50 return £123.75 = £1.25 profit.

    Some people would say covering is stupid in the long run.

    I would call those people stupid in the long run.

  145. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    yeah to much math for the first time, like I said never done that before and i will just wait whatever happens happens,..hoping for over 200 ,,lookin good’??

  146. Jordan 9 years ago

    Holy sh*t just seen the Cavs score myself. Jeez Kevin Love ain’t that good!

  147. Jordan 9 years ago

    We’re looking ok mate. Ok only haha

  148. tomekplnd 9 years ago

    Yessss Jordan its in!!!

  149. Jag 9 years ago

    Thanks jordan! I went for a safer over 189 for your SS :D

  150. Jordan 9 years ago

    SS 7 wins, 2 losses. Nice doing business Huggy!

    Wizards/Portland Over 197 @ 10/11 @ PP **WIN** 199 with a few seconds to play

  151. Jordan 9 years ago

    Haha no worries boys! Scraped it (again) but winners are winners.

  152. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Jordan/Huggy i thank you guys. a nice profit on your joint SS.

    Dont matter what NBA i win on its always last minute stuff lol

  153. David mc 9 years ago

    Jordan well done mate brillant yet again do u think the Hawks will win tonight ?

  154. Jordan 9 years ago

    David they have Korver and Horford out who are big players. Might win but I don’t think they’ll cover the spread.

  155. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    200 points!! lol i needed 200..just barely…tnx JORDAN!

  156. Jordan 9 years ago

    The 199 I posted also a winner if anyone got one late.

  157. huggybear 9 years ago

    was on course all night 100 ht 200 ft , both in the 90″s ? maybe not.

    well done jordan and huggy

  158. David mc 9 years ago

    Cheers Jordan I will leave it up was just being greedy anyway thanks again brother

  159. Jordan 9 years ago

    Ends on 202 ;) No worries boys. Huggy too don’t forget!

  160. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Jordan & Huggy ofc ! keep up the flow fellas!

  161. tomekplnd 9 years ago

    Jordan have you looked at the total points for the Warriors game? 209 seems like a good line for overs

  162. Jordan 9 years ago

    Hmm hasn’t treally crossed my mind to tell you the truth tom. SS is in and that’s profit for the day. No need to throw it on anything else.

  168. Jordan 9 years ago

    Sorry forest who are you?

    • bad jasper 9 years ago

      He is forest

  169. forest 9 years ago

    A gambler jordan why.

  170. Jordan 9 years ago

    Don’t you start jasper ;)

    Forest you’re obviously new and you’re one of the easy peasy boys I see. It’s 50/50 and to pick one out of 20 options isn’t that easy but cool!

  171. paul 9 years ago

    Chased a 125 quid loss n got back 137.83 thanks to huggy n jordan

    YOu guys kbow your stuff

    THought over195.5 was doomed on miami butt credit to both teams.

  172. forest 9 years ago

    No jordan been betting on nba for 9 years.and not a boy nothings easy or we all be rich right !!

  173. Jordan 9 years ago

    Shocking result in Miami Paul big win for the Heat. All the LeBron news didn’t matter as he was shocking!

  174. forest 9 years ago

    Jazz look like there season got going 2 late nice to see them clicking at last hot streak at mo.

  175. Jordan 9 years ago

    Cool. You new on the site then or have you just started posting but checked it out for a while? 9 years? Some history! I’m only 4 months in.

  176. Jordan 9 years ago

    I know Gordon Hayward has come a long way this season. Thought this one would go under but below 50 for Charlotte at the end of the 3rd? Crazy.

  177. forest 9 years ago

    No posted year or so back look on site dont really comment often and nba is good betting medium as is most american spirts.no draws with handicap yes odds short for bookies favour but much better for us punters 2 have draw out way covering is better on bets i seen you doing pretty good 4months 40 years always learning and you put your picks up so fair play 2 you.i chucked one up on other thread but not got time 2 spend long on here often so i breeze thru when i got 5 mins.

  178. forest 9 years ago

    I had jazz doubled with over 3.5 in river plate game so happy hornets been way 2 unpredictable this season so personally tend 2 bet oppising team if teams playing well.

  179. Jordan 9 years ago

    Yeah I’ve found betting on NBA/NFL has turned my fortunes around to be honest. Do ok on football but like you I agree on the handicaps/no draws as a much better medium. Starting to go for totals only rather than spreads as cover can be more in your favour and like football you aren’t relying on one team with goals. I’ll look out for your picks.

  180. paul 9 years ago

    Jordan heat are my lucky team.

  181. Jordan 9 years ago

    A bit like those bloody Raptors last night then haha, nice bet mate. If I hadn’t of trusted the Cavs my late bet wouldn’t have been looking so bad but they blew that.

  182. Jordan 9 years ago

    Paul they aren’t that bad to be honest I think Dragic has been a good addition, it’s a shame Bosh is out for the season otherwise they’d be a team to look out for in the playoffs

  183. forest 9 years ago

    I bet most sports but really nba season is my fav as can hit good streaks and i do points totals alot good one is if you say doing a overs bet and its cruising total jumps up i often do a unders as it tends 2 slow down 4th quater when one team is out of sight so you pick up 2 wins or atleast stake back.

  184. Jordan 9 years ago

    Ooh that’s too risky for me forest haha, I’ll cover if it’s cruising but won’t hit the Under as well, off to bed mate but nice to hear your thoughts and theories. All the best.

  185. forest 9 years ago

    Ok mate take it easy.
