Great tip johnb!
Thanks johnb.#tennis guru
Jb. I took your treble and the tennis bet. Even my kids know your name! If r ever in Sydney the beer is on me!
Thanks Johnb for another cracking tennis tip!
Wow, some surprises and closes games in the NBA last night… Suns winning at the Magics, Nets winning in OT at the Nuggets, Knicks almost winning at Celtics (Carmello missing a buzzer 3pts), … very exciting to watch but no so much for betting. Bookies can probably thank the Suns.
Congrats to all winners!

ANETT KONTAVEIT to win tournament 4/1 betfred
Miami Heat -9 @ 1.83 (Bet365) – 1.5 Points – *WON*
Washington Wizards + 9 @ 1.83 (Bet365 – 1.5 Points. – *LOST*
Utah Jazz (Money Line) @ 1.86 (Bet365) – 1.2 Points. – *LOST*
Suns 2nd Half Spread +10.5 @ 1.80 (Bet365 in play) – 1 Point. – *WON*
Poor night, Magic screwed my double early on (already posted as a loser), so took the Suns 2nd Half Spread to recoup some losses.
Disappointed with Jazz who have now lost 5 in a row… they’re on a b2b tonight away to the Pelicans.
Also thought Wizards would keep it close, but got blown away by 25 Points.
Hopefully bounce back tonight, well done to any winners.
Posted yesterday,
Gone for the following EVENS(ish) treble:
Miami -1
Atlanta -1.5
Orlando highest scoring quarter
Pays 1.02 – 1.2 points staked
Magic was a push – so paid out 1.9 on the 1.2 points staked.
Counting it as a WIN so 2/2 on my basketball tips.
100% streak lives on!!!
Brilliant! Certainly had better nights. First of all the Magic bombed me as well as most on here I imagine before the game had hit three minutes of the third quarter, the Celtics only won by won after trailing most of the game, JR Smith only had 5 shots and still had 10 points so could hit his over 13 despite a blowout from the Cavs (Kyrie blitzed his P&A that was the short price of 8/11). Then with the news of the Lakers being three starters down I decided to take the Hawks -9, that went well, but D’Angelo Russell thought he’d decide to go 3-16 from the field (W⚓) and ? on me even more.
Again, had better nights! Warriors Championship anyone? ?
This is it now. Final one.
EVS @ 365 – 10 points (BEST PRICE)
50 in total.
15/8 @ Ladbrokes – 5 points, 7/4 @ Betway – 5 points EW @ 1/2 1-2, 7/5 @ Skybet – 5 points, 5/4 @ Skybet – 5 points, 6/5 @ Betway – 5 points, 11/10 @ William Hill – 5 points, EVS @ 365 – 10 points.
Working tonight and probably wise to have a rest on the NBA.
Good luck with todays/tonights punts gents.

NBA ML Long shot acca:
(Im on this early so i dont keep changing ny mind).
6-Fold pays $9.76 (1 point):
– Cavs ml
– Wizards ml
– Pistons ml
– Spurs ml
– Rockets ml
– Clippers ml
Cavs at home, wont lose to Celtics on a b2b but on the road.
Wizards always had 1 eye on todays game & will be rearing to go at home against the Pacers who have lost 4 of their last 5, whilst Wizards have won 4 of their last 5 (pacers also on a road b2b).
Pistons are on the road but should easiy beat the knicks who are also on a b2b.
Spurs at home against the Kings, enough said,
Rockets are on the road but should overcome a very banged up Bulls outfit.
Rested Clippers at home should put away the Hawks who are on a road b2b. Clips 2nd half comeback against OKC 2 days ago will have given them increased confidence & im not sure Atlanta will be able to keep with them.
gonna back charlotte hornets -3 , 3 point single WINNER !!!
adding grizzlies ml double pays 2.5/1 2 points WINNER !!!
adding d wade over 22 points trebles pays 5.42/1 1 point LOST BY 1 POINT

Paul George (Pacers) Over 34 PR&A @ 5/6 @ Paddys – 3.6 points
Like this bet alot. I’ll have it.
I’m also leaning Pacers ML!
After last night I’m scared to back an East team against a playoff rival. Should be hotly contested though so I expect PG to have a good night. Scored 35 last night in Charlotte.

Quality tipping @mr-orange
hi again fella’s
big weekend of boxing and UFC
some value to be had, all of these are in various acca’s in various combinations so ill post as singles:
Value Picks:
Conner Mcgregor to win on points 8/1 (10/1 in some bookies)
moving up in weight against a tough guy who has only ever been stopped once (by a headkick) in his entire career)
Lucas Browne to win 2/1 By KO 3/1: Lucas browne is a 6’5 unbeaten Australian heavyweight. he is facing Chagaev a former world champ who stands at just 5’11 and is at the end of his career at 37 years old.
Technically he is FAR superior to browne who appears to fight more like a brawler.
Chagaev has also face far superior boxers to Browne, only losing to the elite (klitschko and povetkin)
While browne has faced nobody of note in his career.
the key here for me is desire and shape. Browne came in at the lightest of his career, while chagaev came in at the heaviest of his career.
Browne looks in fantastic shape and has looked technically slightly better in training videos, he will need every ounce of his desire to become the first australian heavyweight champ ( paper belt)
Bradley Skeete to win 11/10 To win on points 2/1
Sam eggington is facing bradley skeete to keep hold of his british belt. similar height and reach for both fighters.
Eggington is a brawler who has more power than skeete, though lacks the technical boxing ability that skeete does.
Skeete lost only to frankie gavin in a controversial points loss ( i had him winning)
Eggington was dropped HEAVILY in his last fight against a much smaller fighter who was fighting on very short notice, he came through and won on points, though the technical flaw’s were obvious to see
I expect a close fight, but skeetes boxing ability should win him a MD/SD
More Confident picks:
Ortiz KO 3/10
this fight will not go beyond 5-6 rounds. If it goes beyond 3-4 you should be able to get a very good price for ORTIZ KO.
Tony thompson is taking this fight on 2 weeks notice, he is in terrible shape and this looks to be the last fight of his career, he is 44 years old.
Ortiz looks to be a threat to both fury and wilder and the entire division with his brutal one punch power and his fantastic cuban boxing skills ( i couldn’t find the under anywhere?)
Antoine Douglas to win 3/10
not much of a write up needed here, unbeaten prospect facing an old veteran who is incredibly short for a middleweight at 5 foot 4. antoine douglas is a slick boxer who stands at 6 foot tall.
Holly holm to win 1/3
I thought the odd’s would be a bit better here, but still looks a given, close fight but holm is better in nearly every way.
Good write ups Mulac. Haven’t had a punt on the UFC for a while now but I looked an tonights card as its obviously a big one.
Like the look of Cory Anderson by Decision @ EVS @ Skybet.
Also like Thatch, Holm, Anderson, McGregor and Latifi on the outright. Pays 32/10 @ Coral. Bigger risk would be to add Jim Miller against Diego Sanchez @ 6/1 but you never know with Sanchez. Guy has heart!
Good luck with your bets mate.

PIT Penguins 3-way betting/Regulation
MIN Wild 3-way betting/Regulation
going with a mad 151.68 10 fold only a 0.5 point on but had a good day so why not. tried posting earlier but phone died so posting now. Wild game has already started with them winning 1-0 in the last 7 minutes in the first period.
cheers, yeah sanchez looks good value, prob is he’s very shopworn. (unsurprising)
thatch odds have shortened, still like him on points, and latifi KO, also chas skelly.
ps: ladbrokes are offering 10/1 on mcgregor to win (for ROI new customers) so basically if you dont have a ladbrokes account sign up and use a VPN to change ur IP to ireland for those crazy good odds.

Double @ 11/10 PP – 5pts staked.

Going to put a few quid on these props in a treble!
Worth having a look at their game to games on ESPN.
LaVine is pretty ropey but.. “Zach LaVine has started the last four games and averaged 19.0 points.”
Crowder o15.0
Harris o14.5
LaVine o14.5
and there is the 3rd and 4th value bets done!
if mcgregor wins on points i will buy you all a beer!
“Kristaps Porzingis (lower leg) will not play against the Pistons on Saturday.”
Damn… I missed the -6 spread.
Pistons @ Knicks markets taken down….
Actually wait……..
Just placed Detroit Pistons -5 @ Evens (PP) – 2.1 Points.
Awesome :)
IN
Did you get the -5 mate?
It’s now jumped to -7… Paddy Power took a while to catch up!

Also going for a 33/1 long shot
Celtics +7.5
Pistons -5.5
Wizards ML
Pelicans ML
Bulls ML
Clippers -4.5
Good luck all
Not expecting anything other than a win at home for the Spurs but be aware if you took the spread because Aldridge, Duncan and Green will not play against the Kings tonight.
No tips from me as I had no time to research.
GL everyone!
Ah gr8, didnt know that. Already took the spread haha. Fingers crossed
But Ginobili is back i just read, So thats something, hopefully
Knicks playing better without Porzingis. Come on Pistons!
Not even the fact that Porzingis is out, their also on a b2b after a tough game in Boston…
59% from the field 1st Half…. awesome shooting.
Lets hope they don’t turn up the 2nd half lol.
They’re*
Detroit Pistons -7.5 (2nd Half Spread) @ 1.80 – 1.1 Points.
In fact I cant see Knicks shooting that high percentage throughout, so im taking this.
Crowder o15.0 12 L
Harris o14.5 18 W
LaVine o14.5 17 W
LaVine has 17 at half time, gutted about Crowder. Was tempted to follow Jordan’s theory about the props winning the game after we bet them and they lose. JR Smith got 14 and his overs were knocked down to 12.5. :(
Korver hits his second 3 in the 2nd, forgot to put it on though :D
R Jackson over 5 assists win
Kontaveit to win loss
half time and full time cavs win
bouchard to win against Svitolina just above evens.
