HEATHER WATSON has taken the Indian Wells Masters by storm and on Tuesday she has another scalp in her sights.

The British No.1 dumped last year's runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska in the previous round and is 12-5 at bet365 to get the better of Carla Suarez Navarro, the 2-5 favourite at Sportingbet.

Serena Williams is expected to ease past Sloane Stephens in the all-American battle and the tightest match of the day sees Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky at 7-10 with 888sport against Ukraine's Elina Svitolina, the 5-4 underdog at Boylesports.

In the men's draw Roger Federer is out for revenge against Andreas Seppi, who knocked the Swiss superstar out of the Australian Open in January. Milos Raonic versus Alexander Dolgopolov has the makings of a decent tussle and Steven Johnson will look to cause Tomas Berdych problems in their encounter.

The early hours of Wednesday morning sees the first Cricket World Cup quarter-final and South Africa are 1-2 favourites at Ladbrokes against a Sri Lanka side priced up at 2-1 by Betfred.

The rest of the midweek action also features the likes of World Grand Prix snooker, NBA action and Premier League darts.

I'm heading away on holiday for a few days so just use this thread for all your sporting tips and chat and I'll be back in the usual routine on Friday when hopefully you've landed plenty of winners.

    Think kings will cover handicap over atlanta hawks full bet 10 points and if brave enough chuck in golden state win by 16+ for double

  2. forest 9 years ago

    Kings is _5.5 4/5 and warriors are -16.5 10/11 but im gonna say they win by 20 plus and 20.5 is 11/8 10 points single kings 5 points double

  3. forest 9 years ago

    Sorry thats a +5.5 kings

  4. Jordan 9 years ago

    Good stuff Jordan, but when do u ever sleep? ur on here all day and night, r u a zombie?

  6. Jordan 9 years ago

    Max I’m not on here till after 4 in the afternoon but give my thoughts while at work. Money has to be made in other areas even while on the grind. In fact I’m off to bed now. Not a zombie I don’t like the taste of flesh ;)

    • Brian 9 years ago

      Horrible night for me mate, went a bit on tilt yesterday. Convinced myself everything was going to win lol !

      Cavs -3.5 *LOST*
      Thunder U/210 *LOST*
      Hawks U/210 *LOST*
      Portland O/198 *WON*

      Back to the grind, SS only tonight

  7. Attila 9 years ago

    ***POSTED YESTERDAY***

    NBA SUPER SINGLE:

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

    I also like:
    ***WON*** Wizards to win,
    ***WON*** Celtics to cover the -8.5 &
    ***WON*** Grizzlies/Nuggets UNDER 196.0.
    – I had a decent play on these which were all just under EVENS so well made up for my SS which lost by 2 points at the death.

    ***Glad I avoided the Cavs game*** (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)

  8. De Niro 9 years ago

    Garcia lands my 5/2 tip and beats Ivanovic

    Also big outsider Jankovic beats Keys in three sets but not 2-0 to foil the 9/2 bumper payday

  9. De Niro 9 years ago

    Rosol 11/10 to beat Haase also like the 2-0 at 5/2 NAP

    My man J Sock to be over rated Bautista Agut 13/5 NB
    also like 2-0 at 6/1

  10. Juan 9 years ago

    Garcia came good – pity i chickened out and did her +4.5 in an acca with Ferrer, Pennetta and Sharapova, gutted waking up to that this morning!!

  11. huggybear 9 years ago

    well done attila , some good shouts there , that cavs game was indeed a minefield and miami were always gonna be up for it.

    worth looking now at teams making a play for the play-offs and improving their form , heat / spurs are backable at the moment.

    only 5 games tonight but i`ll chat with j and see if we are confident enough to put up a ss.

    well done anyone that backed wizards total last night , i know it scraped home but it was never really in doubt staying ahead of the spread all night.

  12. Attila 9 years ago

    I’m going to quit Tennis Acca’s… Keys let me down today on a 5 fold & Wawrinka yesterday.
    Think AD’s approach to Tennis is best, finding value singles amongst info-form underdogs.

  13. Attila 9 years ago

    Cheers Huggy, yeah 3 from 4 singles was a good result. Mavs were up by 6 points at the death but OKC ruined me from getting a full house.

    Good shout on the overs btw, I was mainly concerned with wizards holding out the fast finishing Blazers, but glad to see it landed for you guys in the end.

  14. huggybear 9 years ago

    looking at clippers -9.5 home to charlotte , they were battered from outside the arc last night by utah and they are prolific from there . also losing last time out they need a performance. charlotte also take a very poor record to la

    possible over in the rockets game ? total gone over 5 and 2 in this match-up

    possible under in the memphis/detroit game under is 6 and 4 , conley doubtful again

    also see the Spurs in blow-out win vs the knicks with spread set at 12.5

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      Jazz bury Hornets 94-66 with barrage of 3-pointers

      (sounds like i said clippers took a hiding)

  15. jimba 9 years ago

    Bet for me century in south africa/sri lanka game @ 3.00a.m, good luck all today!!

  16. Ad 9 years ago

    Well done De Niro and everyone on Garcia. A price that was actually so good it put me off staking more on it! Still, a good win.

    And well done to JJ who was on Tomic to beat Ferrer. I didn’t see the game but thats an impressive win. I didn’t think he would get past wily old Daveed. Tomic is perhaps finally heading for a really breakout season.

    De Niro also right to go with Jankovic, just the wrong score. To be fair though Keys should’ve probably won 2-0 but crumbled till she was missing everything. Jankovic definitely looks to have turned a bit of a corner form wise

    • JimJams 9 years ago

      Cheers Ad! What are you fancying tonight?

      -JJ

  17. 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

    ***LOST** Really poor performance from the Cavs last night never got going!

  18. Attila 9 years ago

    Huggy – just goes to show we really need to get our bets on ASAP as soon as the spreads are released. Just checked and Mavs were -3.5 when odds were released, which would have been a winner. Problem is all the Pro gamblers out there already know who they are taking before the spread is released and lump on immediately so by the time we decide its already moved a couple of points.

  19. huggybear 9 years ago

    its illegal to bet inplay in america ,so they need that headstart. its amazing how close they get the spread total and handicap so often , that 1 or 2 points is crucial.

    saying that ( it might slap me in the face ) but cant see how a rested clippers side against a b2b road charlotte team that was gubbed by a less superior side in utah jazz are only 9.5 favs.

  20. Attila 9 years ago

    Yeah you are right mate, -9.5 seems very do-able by the Clippers. Also, Spurs spread of -12.5 seems low as well and hapless Knicks…think Clippers & Spurs both have blow-out wins today.
    Will post my Bets later once i’ve had a good peruse over the card.

  21. OriaZ 9 years ago

    It was one for the bookies last night on the NBA, except for Huggy/Jordan’s SS :)

    I’m liking all your suggests Huggy/Attila. Clippers and Spurs will win for, but I don’t like double digit spreads. I also like the Pelicans at home against the Bucks.

    Posting this trebble already (should be at evens) :
    – Spurs -5.5
    – Pelicans ML
    – Clippers ML

  22. Attila 9 years ago

    OriaZ, not sure what you mean by being one for the Bookies last night? I had probably my best betting night on the NBA in weeks! ;-)

  23. Ad 9 years ago

    Tuesday Tennis:

    I’ve already posted Pliskova @ 9/4 to beat Halep and I’m happy with that. I will add to the mix Dolgopolov, who seems to have hit some decent form and excelled when he met today’s opponent here last year. If he’s playing well I think this is actually a pretty good matchup for Dolgo on what is a fairly high bouncing surface, as he should dominate behind his own serve and his extra athleticism, movement and defensive skills should give him an edge over Raonic when it comes to returning serve and once they get into rallies. Obviously Raonic’s serve is a different level to Dolgopolov’s, but Dolgopolov’s returning is a different level to Raonic’s. Dloglo won 90% of points when he made his first serve in their only ever meeting, and given his success last year must be confident coming into this one. (I’ve backed Milos outright at a big price so mixed emotions here!)

    I’m also adding Bencic to take down JJ. Based on what I saw yesterday this looks like a good matchup for Bencic. If she plays like that again she will have no problem staying with Jelena in rallies and picking her off when the chance comes.

    Pliskova d Halep @ 9/4
    Dolgopolov d Raonic @ 21/10
    Bencic d Jankovic @ 11/10 and 2-0 @ 12/5

    Good luck!

  24. Attila 9 years ago

    AD – cheers mate, im on these as Singles. As I said, im not doing the Tennis Acca’s anymore but i do love your underdog singles :-D

  25. Ad 9 years ago

    Good luck mate, would be nice to land a full house! Am i right in thinking you said your bookie offers cash out now? If any of these go a set and a break up I’ll most likely be taking the money and running.

  26. jimba 9 years ago

    Happy SAINT PATRICKS DAY ALL, ENJOY!!!

  28. OriaZ 9 years ago

    Attila, it all depends on how you divide your stakes.

    When I put 10 pts on a super single I don’t put 10 pts on my next bets.
    Last night I had 10 pts on Huggy/Jordan’s super single, 10 pts on yours and 10 pts on my own (took the Cavs at -3.5). 2 of them lost so for me it was one for the bookies :)

    I had a few points on a trebble that landed (but I didn’t post it), but that just allowed me to have no loss.

  29. Attila 9 years ago

    Yes, I can access Cash Out now for most major sports like Soccer, NBA, Aussie Rules & NRL but only for the straight win or moneyline bets. I just called them up to confirm and it’s not yet available for Tennis (argh!).
    They say they are working on rolling it out across more sports soon so I’ll just risk your tips and hope at least 2 of them take it all the way :-D

  30. Ad 9 years ago

    Aye, fingers crossed. If Pliskova of Dolgopolov win i’ll be breaking even whatever happens in the other two matches. If any two win its decent profit and if all three do it it’s happy days indeed!

  31. Ad 9 years ago

    The Raider- I’m not sure linking other tipster sites here is going to be well received by the powers that be. This is a tipping site that after all. When the tipster site you’ve linked starts advertising Mr Fix it’s tips then maybe you’ll get away with it!

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      Ad, spot on – comment’s been deleted. Please don’t post links to other tipping sites without permission.

    • The Raider 9 years ago

      Apologies Mr Fixit… I wasn’t aware of the rules. I am in no way affiliated with the site I just posted it as I thought it may have been useful to others! I will make sure not to post anything external without seeking permission first!

      A few that may be of interest:

      Heather Watson – Played amazing the other night and if she does so tonight she will have a chance. 9/4 looks a big price.
      Sabine Lisicki – She has a huge game and when she gets it going she can be near on unstoppable. 5/4 is a very good price IMO against Garcia.
      Belinda Bencic – For very much the same reasons as above. Rapidly improving and has the game to cause Jelena problems. Evens.

      Will be having them in singles and a small stake on the treble @ 13.96

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      The Raider, fair enough – dozens of sites would love a free advert on here.

  32. Attila 9 years ago

    Oriaz, ah, fair enough mate. Normally when i list 10 points for my SS< all other bets I state i'll have 5 or 7.5 points on them, depending on my confidence level.

  33. Jordan 9 years ago

    No SS for me right now until I pull up something I fancy with Huggy later. Double digit spreads are risky enough and especially on the road.

    Do like the chances of this though

    Spurs by 6 or more
    Clippers -2.5
    Rockets -3.5

    Just over EVS @ 365

  34. Jordan 9 years ago

    Oriaz that treble you posted pays around 7/10 mate.

  35. huggybear 9 years ago

    jordan will put up our ss later but i`ve convinced myself that the clippers can take charlotte on the spread and cover the 9.5 also gonna go with a ht clippers -4 with a spurs probably -6 in a double ( small bet here for fun )

    what the rest of the nba guys on tonight ?

  36. OriaZ 9 years ago

    @Jordan, the line for the Pelicans wasn’t out yet when I posted the trebble. I can still get it at 9/10 with BWIN.

    I’m on your trebble as well.

  37. Attila 9 years ago

    My initial thoughts for my Super Single tonight is Detroit Pistons ATS at home to Grizzlies.
    They are currently +4.0 but all the money is on the Grizzlies so i’m going to wait to see where the spread is before tip off. I’m hoping I get another 2 points.
    For my 2nd choice, i’m on the same boat as Huggybear and liking Clippers -9.5.
    I’ll post my final bet/s and thoughts an hour or so before the 1st game starts.

  38. Ad 9 years ago

    The Raider-

    Good to hear your thoughts on the tennis. Whether you want to hear mine or not I’m going to force them upon you i’m afraid!

    Watson is an interesting one. My gut tells me this is a bridge too far for her. A bad matchup against a player in great form and Watson is coming right after one of the biggest wins of her career, which players often find hard to follow up. But, as you say, she was superb in her last match, which was an even worse matchup on paper, and because CSN has no weapon she can dominate Watson with she will be competitive if she gets close to her level from the last round. I think i’ll leave it alone but I’m going to keep an eye on it in-play and see how it’s shaping up.

    Lisicki i have no interest in backing as she’s just terrible half the time! Unreliable to the extreme and whereas she could exploit a missmatch against Vinci and Lisicki with her extra firepower, she can’t do the same against Garcia who packs a punch herself. I don’t have faith she will be able to produce the goods under pressure consistently enough to win this one. Again though, one for in-play for me.

    Bencic i’m obviously well behind so rooting for you there!

    Good luck with all your picks.

    • The Raider 9 years ago

      Ad, completely agree with some of the points you have made RE Sabine and Heather! I just feel like 9/4 is too good a price for her for me not to have a dabble. Now I know she didn’t beat any real big names but she grew in confidence in every single game @ Hobart earlier in the year and I’m hoping the confidence from beating Radwanska will allow her to really go for her shots and try and be more dominant from the baseline.

      In terms of Sabine I agree, it is a game which could go either way but if she can replicate what she did in the last round I think she will prove too much. Caroline was pushed hard by Hercog and went 3 sets against Ana so I’m hoping if Sabine can come out firing she can build up a head of steam throughout the game.

      Good luck with your tips today also… I really do think the Dog matches up really well with Milos with his fantastic return of serve and I fancy him to at least take a set off Milos. I’m also a big fan of Pliskova… watched the second set of her recent match against Halep and it was absolutely ridiculous with about 8 breaks on serve…. could be one to have a look out for on the inPlay!

  39. Attila 9 years ago

    @ AD – Cos I can’t cash out on the Tennis i’ve done them as a Trixie and with the longer ones i’ve taken them at the handicap. I should at worst at least get my stake back this way.

    – Pliskova +3.5 @ $2.00
    – Dolgopolov +2.5 @ $2.00
    – Bencic WIN @ $2.00

    Trixie pays $5.00 if all 3 legs win, & pays $1.00 (stake back) if 2 legs win.

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Good luck Atilla. Just singles for me as that lets me get away with just one winning which is always handy when it comes to upsets. But hopefully those will all come in for you, must have a good chance.

  40. Jordan 9 years ago

    Right I’ve messaged Huggy and decided to go against what the public thinks and I’m going OVER in the Detroit/Memphis game. This is my SS and not a combined one unless Huggy agrees.

    Over 184 Total Points @ 10/11 @ Ladbrokes

    Other bookies have gone back up to 184.5

  41. Jordan 9 years ago

    Reason being. Grizzlies have only held their opponents on the road to less than 90 points once in 24 road games. Pistons recently score 98 and 99 points against the Blazers and Golden State. Only failing to score less than 90 points twice in their last 23 at home. Good first half will see easy cover.

  42. JimJams 9 years ago

    *NAP*

    Donald Young to win the first set against Nadal @ 4/1.

    Nadal is a legend and will win this, I’m sure, but, it is so naive to look past these odds and not take it.

    Young will come out all-firing and incredibly motivated to put in a great showing against the great Nadal, especially in front of a home crowd. And given Nadal’s current lack of confidence, this is only going to work against him.

    I acknowledge he won the title at Buenos Aires, but this is a hard court and only Rafa know’s his state of fitness, and IMO it is still questionable.

    *NB*

    Dolgopolov to beat Raonic @ 19/10 with William Hill.

    Dolgopolov is the equivalent to the the women on the WTA tour (barring Serena and Navarro, of course) in terms of consistency, but when he is on his game he is just sheer class, and can quite easily beat the likes of Raonic and other such ‘servebots’.

    A safer way to go on this one though would be Dolgo to win the first set @ 6/4.

    Best of luck to all!

    -JJ

  43. huggybear 9 years ago

    gonna back jordans total again as it seems clippers are missing some big players , otherwise i`d be jumping all over -10 .

    184 in the memphis game isnt a big ask and you`d expect detroit to hit 92 and grizzlies to shade it. see the total being 190 ish , ( see how close i come lol )

    good luck as always

  44. Ernie 9 years ago

    Got Suarez Navarro in my Acca n shes injured! Ha

  45. huggybear 9 years ago

    gonna post a long shot bet too , spurs are 3`s to hit 112.5 away to the knicks , i can see em getting 120 ,so that price alone is worth a small tenner

  46. huggybear 9 years ago

    wrong thread i know but , btts arsenal is a banker for me , we`ll chase the game and concede , gonna double it with btts in cardiff match , double pays 1.90/1

    see how my footy knowledge is , can`t be any worse than my NBA …

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      1 goal short , so a loser , stick to losing at NBA i think

  47. Alex 9 years ago

    Not a tip as such but I really think this is the closest to call out of the last 8 ties of the Cricket World Cup. Sri Lanka are vastly experienced in big games and SA have a habit of bottling it when it really matters. That is my sole reasoning for this bet that is being backed with spare change.

    Sri Lanka to win 15/8 paddypower

  48. the wet lettucce 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….lost

    From yesterday..i will keep betting small on crazy accas..whilst i let the dreamteam Jordan/Huggy/Attila win the main cash for me..cheers guys.

  49. Jordan 9 years ago

    Dream Team hahaha

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      been called worse lol

  50. Attila 9 years ago

    NBA SUPER SINGLE:

    – Detroit Pistons +5.0 @ $1.92 (10 points)

    Detroit have not been very good since Brandon Jennings was ruled out for the season, but I like them to cover against a tired and banged up Grizzlies side that really havn’t performed that well on the road of late.
    The Pistons do generally have no trouble scoring at home, so I think they can ride with the Grizzlies in this game. Grizzlies should win, but I think the Pistons even have a shot at outright win today.

  51. Attila 9 years ago

    Huggybear – who is out for Clippers? If Paul & Reddick are still in i’ll still go with the Clippers -10 as my 2nd bet.

  52. Jordan 9 years ago

    Attila, Barnes and Crawford.

  53. tomekplnd 9 years ago

    Went with a points total double at evens – Spurs/Knicks over 187 points & Pistons/Grizzlies over 177.5 points, shame I ain’t offered the cash-out option.

  54. huggybear 9 years ago

    got to be honest I still fancy em but missing the two j mentioned has curbed my optimism

  55. Jordan 9 years ago

    Few coins on Kawhi Leonard (Spurs) Over (17.5) points @ 4/5 @ PP

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      wishing they were bigger coins ? should walk this bet , halfway there now

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      Haha 9 points in 7 minutes. Sort of wishing it was the SS mate ;)

  56. Attila 9 years ago

    Pliskova loses 1st set…comes out angry in the 2nd!

  57. Jordan 9 years ago

    No Mike Conley for Memphis so total down to 183.5 so more or less the same as when I posted although we’ll get a push at 184. Not fussed. He’s not superman.

  58. De Niro 9 years ago

    Rosol lands the 11/10 win but blows the 2-0

    Sock wins again to land the 13/5 tip to win but not the 2-0 at 6/1

  59. the wet lettucce 9 years ago

    I fancy this…

    Knicks under 91.5 points (as there bad)
    Bucks ht pelicans ft..(pelicans usually start slow then pile the points on 2nd half)

    7.5/1 bet365

    The Dreamteam bets i am on…are grizzlies v pistons o184 points and spurs over 105 t points.

    GL all.

    NBA SINGLE #2:

    – LA CLIPPERS -10.0 @ $1.92 (5 points)

    Can’t see the Hornets who were walloped last night by the Jazz keeping with a rested Clippers side in L.A. Both teams have some out, but Clippers should be winning this and winning it well.

  82. Attila 9 years ago

    I know Jordan, I actually thought of doing the double which paid around $3.50 but didn’t want to be greedy since in staking 10 points on my singles these days.
    All good mate! Congrats on your win again.

  83. Jordan 9 years ago

    Gotta admit I went pretty crazy on that one and will probably get my 365 account suspended soon haha

  84. Jordan 9 years ago

    ‘Double digit spreads are risky enough and especially on the road.’ Isn’t that right San Antonio haha

    Spurs by 6 or more
    Clippers -2.5
    Rockets -3.5

    Just over EVS @ 365 **LOSE**

    Few coins on Kawhi Leonard (Spurs) Over (17.5) points @ 4/5 @ PP **LOSE** 13

    As Wet Veg says. The bread and butter is in with an 80% ratio over 10 bets. Stupid stakes tonight but I blame my poor guess work on the football haha

  85. huggybear 9 years ago

    jordan . superb pick again…

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      Cheers Huggy stuck my neck out a bit on that one but we’re making a hell of a pair!

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      mate that was all you.. saved me from betting the under.

      I need to start pulling my weight

  86. Attila 9 years ago

    Clippers off to a flyer! C’mon!

  87. Attila 9 years ago

    Sri Lanka to score a century YES @ $2.15 (5 points)

    Sri Lanka are batting first and have scored more centuries than any other team this World Cup. This bet should land.

  88. Jordan 9 years ago

    Haha don’t be daft! Just sent you an email mate with a few thoughts but the only total that’s out that I’m liking is the Heat/Portland over 200.5.

    What you reckon on that Attila?

    Few more totals out by the morning hopefully.

  89. Attila 9 years ago

    Heat and Portland are both defensive and normally go under…but I’ll look at stats & form later and let you know. Lots of the time when two defensive sides clash they end up going over for some reason!?

  90. Attila 9 years ago

    Clippers were up by 22 in the 3rd, now only up by 3 at end of the 3rd. They better not bottle this!

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      disgraceful 3rd 1/4… totals from now on

      spurs losing to knicks ffs

  91. Harry 9 years ago

    Looks like we all called the cricket wrongly! Shocked at the Sri Lanka batting collapse!

  92. Attila 9 years ago

    ***Posted Earluier***

    NBA SINGLE #2:

    – LA CLIPPERS -10.0 @ $1.92 (5 points)

    ***LOST*** – After leading by 23 points, they let the Hornets back into it and were lucky to win by 7 in the end. Think the Half Time markets are the way to go…too many teams take their foot off the gas too early when well ahead. These guys earn WAY too much money to slack off the way they do!

  93. OriaZ 9 years ago

    Great call on the SS Huggy/Jordan.
    Same for Attila (but I was sleeping alrdy so didn’t follow).

    Can’t believe the Spurs lost this one to the Knicks … like Popovich said, players should be ashamed.

    ——————-

    Posting this trebble already:
    – Spurs -5.5
    – Pelicans ML
    – Clippers ML

    ** LOST **

  94. jimba 9 years ago

    Harry if sri lanka got another 30 or 40 brock would have got 100, he ended 78 not out!!!!

  95. JamesB81 9 years ago

    Harry

    The bet you put up the other day for India, Australia and NZ to win at just over evens was IMO the best of the round.

    Prices have since shortened considerably.

    Would be very surprised not to see those three win their QF’s.

  96. Juan 9 years ago

    Mr Fixit – why 17-19 March instead of a page per day?

    • Mr Fixit 9 years ago

      Juan, Scotts who posts the threads is away for a few days – that’s why.

  97. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Murray
    Raonic
    Williams
    Nishikori

    Those guys/lady win tnight

  98. Harry 9 years ago

    Jimba he did surprisingly well considering his form but it wasn’t to be. I’m more disappointed for sangawardene to bow out like that than I am my bet! JamesB81 I’ve got 20 points on it so I’m hoping it proves to be the best bet. Had 4 or 5 days to think it over and I still can’t see it not winning, only slight slight possibility is if Australia collapse against a decent pace attack like they did against new Zealand, although they’re at home and that game didn’t mean anything anyway

  99. Attila 9 years ago

    Cant believe it! I just won $630 off a $12.50 stake on a footy treble on the Asian Champions League (treble odds were $50!).

    I went for the DRAW on all 3 legs – Brisbane Roar game, Gamba Osaka game & WS Wanderers game.

    Never actually thought it would actually land, just thought id place it for a bit of interest whilst watching my Roar & Wanderers :-)

    Sorry for the gloat, it’s just the largest odds that I have ever landed on a bet!

  100. Ad 9 years ago

    What a ludicrous set of results on from Indian Wells last night!

    Sorry for a disappointing set of results on the attempted upsets.

    The only joy I had was that in play over 19.5 games @ 2/1 i posted for the Sharapova Pennetta game. I also managed to get a couple of quid on Pennetta to win when she was 25/1 but that’s not much use to anyone else on here!

    • De Niro 9 years ago

      Ad
      I had to re check then – you had me worried – breath easy again – they both won

      esp sweet Sock at a crazy 13/5

      and 11/10 Rosol

      ;-)

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Don’t worry pal, just my upsets that flopped. well done. Especially well done on Sock, a seriously impressive return from injury for that man.

    • raaljaca 9 years ago

      Ad, if no upsets occurred then I assume many favourites won which wouldn’t come under the ‘ludicrous set of results’ banner!

    • Ad 9 years ago

      Thanks for pointing out the very obvious Raaljaca! I was referring generally to the results last night, not my tips. plenty of upsets occurred, just not the ones I wanted!

      As a whole it was a very surprising night.

      Pennetta beating Sharapova @ 7/1
      Trusrenko beating Bouchard @ something similar
      Robredo beating Dimitrov
      Baczinszky coming from a set down to win her 15th match in 24 days, 7 of the last 8 having been long three setters
      Lisicki and Jankovic both notching another good win despite having shown no form or consistency all year.

  101. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Atilla congratz m8 :)

    Hows the weather down in aussie land ? :)

  102. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Well done Attila nice one mate.

  103. Ad 9 years ago

    My two ante-post tips for ATP Indian wells are both alive and kicking, for now at least, with Nishikori and Raonic. But I’m going to have to have a wee bet on Mr Federer now as well. He is as short as 5/2 with some firms so the 5/1 on offer looks a good value bet. Djokovic aside he is the outstanding candidate for the title and in the opposite half of the draw.

  104. Attila 9 years ago

    Cheers WetLettuce & Puma. Still cant believe it landed, haha.

    @ Puma – weather is starting to cool down, about 29 degrees today…with a couple of showers :-)

  105. Attila 9 years ago

    My preliminary 10 point Super Single on the NBA for today (Wednesday) is the GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS -6.0 @ $1.92. I’ll do more of a write up in my morning.

    I have a feeling all the money will be on the Hawks as the line when released in the states was -8.0 so i’m crossing my fingers that we’ll get another 1-2 points by the time I wake up, i’ll be very confident about it landing if I can get on say -4.0.

    Night all.

  106. Jordan 9 years ago

    Bookies expecting a tight defensive game in Utah tonight with two top 10 defenses in the Jazz and Wizards. Utah hit 15 3 pointers in their blowout over the Hornets the other night, with Washington also ranking in the top 10 teams from downtown. Last three h2h in Utah have gone over this total but I don’t take much into that. The h2h in Washington only hit 177 in December but the Jazz were still finding their feet. I think this hits around the 195 mark.

    SS Jazz/Wizards Over 179.5 @ 10/11 @ Various

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      NB

      Sixers/Pistons Over 194 @ BV

    • OriaZ 9 years ago

      Jordan is the SS Jazz/Wizards Over 179.5 your own or the combined Huggy/Jordan one? :D

  107. Ad 9 years ago

    Well done Attila! Makes up for your bet on my picks :p

  108. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Anyone consider backing kokinakkis against tomic ? Watched him defeating monaco. Impressive performance i can tell.

  109. Jordan 9 years ago

    Oriaz its my own but no offense to Huggy in any way, shape or form but I twist his arm on most of our combined SS’s which you have seen in some of his posts. I have to go out so wont be able to chat with him much tonight.

  110. Ad 9 years ago

    Tempted to go against either Murray or Nadal tonight.

    9/2 Simon
    15/2 Mannarino.

    I’m leaning towards Simon as the better pick of the two. But might just have a small go on each. Not tipping anything tonight, just haven’t seen enough tennis this week to be confident.

    Watching the snooker there with robertson and davis swung 1 way the the other, fancied davis to get the decisive black but never did him @ 11/10 he goes on to pot the black :-(

  113. huggybear 9 years ago

    lads , jordans right at the moment i couldn`t pick a winner in a 1 horse race , shows how mad my run of 38 from 44 ish was…

    so i`m sticking to 1 or 2 and will only post if i disagree , ( portland the other night ) i fancied the cavs to go over the 204 tonight but agree 180 seems way too low .

    i`m putting my money on brooklyn cleveland over 204.5 , but good luck to jordan and all on the jazz/wizards.

  114. huggybear 9 years ago

    ATTILA , congrats on the treble , level stakes and keep it in the pocket mate !!

  115. Ad 9 years ago

    Dortmund to qualify @ 9/5 looks good to me

  116. thereddevils 9 years ago

    Bad luck Ad, i followed the 3 losing tennis bets. NBA went well (all the home teams won) so no big losses for me. Any other tennis tips?
    LIVE : Nishikori to win second set maybe, he seems in good form.

    • Ad 9 years ago

      I’ve backed Nishi in play @ 6/1 but that’s all ive got. Back on serve

    • thereddevils 9 years ago

      Lopez looks good actually, i’m backing him to win the second set @2.10 now

  117. Shotty 9 years ago

    Im on Jordans SS agree that even though the jazz are very good defensively both teams are more than capable of beating the points total!

    Also going to post a single of my own… Going for the spurs over 48.5 half time team points pays evens @SkyBet

    The Bucks look decent defensively but i feel like Spurs will want to make up for the loss against the Knicks and will come out all guns blazing!

    Also i know it doesnt mean much with players changing etc but Spurs have a very good recent H2H record

  118. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Spurs -6 is a still aint it ? Or im missing somethin?

  119. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

  120. Attila 9 years ago

    My 2 NBA bets for today:

    – Golden State Warriors -6.0 @ $1.92 (9 points)

    – Portland Trail Blazers MoneyLine @ $1.75 (11 points)

    Also going to put a bit on Jordans Jazz/Wiz OVER bet.

  121. Jordan 9 years ago

    Puma. I’m 100% certain Popovich will rests players tonight. Always does on b2b games.

    On this tonight guys

    DETROIT -2 @ 10/11 with Betvictor

  123. Lon_don 9 years ago

    i got mixed accumulator of football and cricket with 3 points on barca, forest, india and australia i can cashout for 6.9 points or wait on 10.8 points what would people suggest

  124. Shotty 9 years ago

    If anyone uses SkyBet just noticed they have got rid of a lot of the alternate total points team points etc which is very annoying! Seem to be setting the points higher than normal too

  125. Shotty 9 years ago

    Ignore my last comment just dont think the markets are up yet!

    Lon_don India and Australia really should be winning mate depends if you want to take guaranteed profit but it looks safe to me

    • Lon_don 9 years ago

      Thanks mate ill wait on the india game and see what the cashout is, if india win.

  126. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    Hey Don, Detroit -1 is at evens on sky bet

  127. Jordan 9 years ago

    Shotty, 365 and PP by far the best alternative points/spreads bookies.

  128. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    Jordan, do you think the Pistons would win?

  129. Jordan 9 years ago

    Not one I’d touch to be honest Alty. The total was my NB over 194.

  130. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    It looks like it’s going to be a close game but hopefully they’ll scrape it with the overs too

  131. Jordan 9 years ago

    Just realised the SS game one of the last on the card and the same time as Hawks/GSW. Damn haha, could be late for work tomorrow ;)

  132. huggybear 9 years ago

    gonna call my ss a winner cavs over 204 .. 37 point last 1/4 easy

    good luck with yours Jordan

    **Winner***

    Wow couldnt believe the total when i saw it was expecting somewhere around 54.5 for spurs at even money i’ll take the spurs to score 50 in a half any day of the week!

  134. Jordan 9 years ago

    Can’t see your total losing Huggy good shout mate

  135. Jordan 9 years ago

    Shotty nice one mate I thought players would be rested but Popovich would obviously wanted them to make a statement.

  136. Shotty 9 years ago

    Cheers Jordan! 63 points in the end haha, really hoping your SS lands would cap of a great night of nba and footy im feeling confident with it

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      Same here mate first decent night on the football this week for me so the SS would be a big bonus. Gonna stay up for the first half and see what the cover is like.

    Jordan is your SS on track? Im not too knowledgeable on the NBA but i took over 170 points, looking to get more into the game cheers

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      On track at the moment Jag mate. Bookies have the in play total at 182 so could be looking worse.

  140. Jordan 9 years ago

    Hmm few missed shots there. Hopefully the pace picks up before HT. Can’t be bothered to stay up.

  141. Jordan 9 years ago

    Turnover central here. Looks like this could be a loss! F*ck it! 3 out of the 5 selected would have won if this one fails so just a bad choice. Sorry lads.

  142. Jordan 9 years ago

    A whopping 22 points with 3 minutes to play in the 2nd 1/4 with 12 turnovers for the Wizards! Sh*te!

  143. Jag 9 years ago

    Sorry to see you lost your SS jordan, but I want to say thanks! I took over 170.5 and it was won by 2 points! Thanks mate!

    Sorry Guys i know i shouldnt..but i am the same as Attila yesterday.

    Didnt have time to post my wild NBA yesterday..£5 repays £140…gutted i never posted..didnt have time tho.

    Ended with Warriors game needed to be over 207.5 was 207 with 0.3 second left..glad i didnt watch but buzzing..well done to all winners.

  145. Attila 9 years ago

    ***POSTED YESTERDAY***

    My 2 NBA bets for today:

    ***WON*** – Golden State Warriors -6.0 @ $1.92 (9 points)

    ***LOST*** – Portland Trail Blazers MoneyLine @ $1.75 (11 points)

    ***Portland threw the lead away in the 4th quarter. I meant to Cash Out on them halfway thru last qtr when they managed to get back in front by 3 but I got tied up at work and missed the moment, argh. Golden State saved the day though, they hammered the Hawks!

  146. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Spurs did their job and won by 11. Got them on a acca with tennis , small stake but profit is done.

  147. Attila 9 years ago

    I don’t like anything in the NBA today, but it is March Madness in the College Basketball playoffs! Found something I really like:

    – East Washington +7.5 @ $1.92 (10 points)

    This game is not really a home game for Georgetown, it’s a nuetral venue. East Washington are in top form at the moment, and I think they’ll step it up against Georgetown. Having beaten big gun Indiana earlier in the season I don’t think they’ll be too intimidated today. A head start of +7.5 points is huge and I’m taking the points here :-)

    Didn’t think it would even be that close to be honest the way things were going at HT. SS 8 wins, 3 losses. We go on!

  150. Jordan 9 years ago

    Nothing for now not really fancying much until I’ve seen line ups for tonight. Wet veg, remember, if we don’t see it, we don’t care :)

    Puma good stuff mate Pop played the same squad as tyhe loss in the Knicks so he obviously wanted revege

  151. PumaDrifter 9 years ago

    Jordan thats the only reason I tipped them. I knew they cant afford 2 fails in a row, and was worried only if the margin of 6 will do. I skipped ur SS yesterday Jordan, and glad I did :p just dont like unders, bad experiences…but am lookin forward for ya next combined calls with huggy! Still great run 8-3, thats pro thingy.

    P.s. sorry for my eng gents, as probably u all already noticed its not my 1st language.
