THE Davis Cup comes to Glasgow on Friday as Great Britain take on the USA at a sold-out Emirates Arena.
Bookies can't separate the sides with the Brits evens at 888sport to bag the win that will send them into the World Group quarter-finals for the second year on the bounce and the Yanks the same price at Sportingbet.
Home hero Andy Murray opens the singles action and is massive favourite at 1-14 with bet365 to see off 8-1 shot Donald Young.
British No.2 James Ward then takes on John Isner and is 3-1 at William Hill who make his American opponent 2-9.
There's plenty more Davis Cup action today with Novak Djokovic leading Serbia's charge against a Croatia side with starlet Borna Coric in their ranks while Gael Monfils and Philipp Kohlschreiber do battle in the France v Germany match.
There's an early-morning fixture at the Cricket World Cup with India taking on West Indies at 6.30am UK time and the sporting highlights also include a three-match Super League card this evening.
Good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.
Me and huggy have mutually decided on Westbrook to have another good game after his 4th triple double in a row. I’m on Westbrook over 29.5 points @ 10/11 @ WillHill
Other prices are 30.5 @ 5/6 @ 365/PP
10/11 5/6 **WIN** 3rd quarter 31 and counting
It’s official. The Thunder are my team and Westbrook is my man crush! Wonder how that MVP price will look when I get up. Work at 9 urgh!
Hi guys, 2 Bets/Tips from me today:
1. AUSSIE RULES SUPER SINGLE:
– Sydney Swans winning margin 1-39 points @ $2.10
2. NRL, A-League & Super Rugby SAFE Treble:
– Parramatta Eels +13.5
– Sydney FC DNB
– Brumbies WIN
TREBLE pays $1.77
Cheeers for the first Jordan/Huggy combined selection!
Keep it up guys!
Atilla..sydney swans – 10.5 is ok to go with ?
Give us some Davis Cup winners today Ad!
Puma – should be ok. Sydney are playing a weakened team whilst Brisbane are fielding full strength side. That being said, Sydney are 5 classes ahead still even with some of their top players out (& I say that as a Brisbane supporter, lol!)
Cheers :) but dunno why ur getting so big price on them just for a win with 1 or 39 max points :D mines handycap was only 1.91 meh
Sydney Swans 0.1.1 (7)
Brisbane Lions 0.3.4 (22)
i dunno the rules really, but not looking good ? heh
Puma – early days mate. Aussie rules is like NBA, swings back and forth very quickly. Also, margin markerts in Aussie rules pay much better odds than handicaps so I usually play them.
Brisbane Lions haven’t beaten Sydney Swans since 2009 so if they win today Ilol be at a total loss… It’s like Leicster beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge!
That NAB cup is a joke, its full of kids Atilla cant take it seriously. Couldnt be lumping on it thats for sure
Puma – they’re only 3 goals behind at half time. A team like Sydney can score 3 in 3 minutes so I expect them to come out stronger after the break.
dunno how many points is one goal but finger crossed anyway :D
Attila, is worth backing the Swans inplay ? Can take them for a straight win at 3/1 or with +17 handicap at evens.
Prism – defo take +17 mate. I think they’ve still got a good shot at winning but best to play it safe mate.
*Oriaz (not prism), damn phone
Dulgheru downed my trebe. Think maybe I should stick to singles!
David cup is notoriously hard to call as some players respond incredibly well to the pressure of representing their country while others buckle under it. Home court advantage can also lead to some surprising results. I’ve had a small go on Coric to beat Troicki @2/1, but his inexperience may be a factor against the vastly experienced Serb, so it’s one for low stakes.
Tonight:
Radwanska d Bacsinszky @ 12/5
Bacsinszky found a way to win last night but im happy going against her again. Those of us following in play on here made good money on Tsurenko who was a set and a break up, and Radwsnska is playing well enough to go one better. I think Bacsinszky is on borrowed time and 12/5 is a surprisingly high price considering how close shes come to going out in both her matches and how relatively comfortable Radwanska was dumping Hantuchova out. That’s 5 straight sets wins for her now this week and @12/5 to make it 6 she can’t be ignored.
2-0 Radwsnska is 5/1 and worth a couple of quid too. If she does go a set and a break up like Tsurenko then cash out!
Glasgow Warriors v Zebre tonight in the Pro12. I think the bookies are way off in the handicaps. The sides met 3 weeks ago in Italy with Glasgow winning 54-10. On paper Glasgow have a stronger team out this evening with the Italians virtually unchanged. I also had dinner last night with one of the boys who has been named on the bench and he says training has been intense with the coaches looking for a massive score to aid their points differential as it’s so tight at the top.
Glasgow -25 @ 10/11. Various
Glasgow -34 @ 9/4. Ladbrokes
Glasgow -43@ 11/2. Ladbrokes.
I’ve taken the -22.5 as part of a double. Thanks for highlighting this match ADC.
Sorry guys, don’t know where the Swans heads are at today. Seriously, they are the #1 team season after season. Embarrassing performance!
I took Sydney Swans at +32.5 @ Evens
Hate that NAB cup though
Happens to the best ! No worries !! Heads up and move on :)
My safe Treble is on song for a win though. So will most likely break even…not too bad!
On another note, HALLELUJAH!!! My Bookie is the first Aussie bookie to finally implement CASH OUT!!! They found a loop hole around the strict gambling laws in this country. Now I dont have to lose my cash every time a 93’rd minute equalizer is scored in the footy, etc.
The way I bet now changes significantly :-)
Who that with Atilla ?
Brian, with http://www.sportsbet.com.au
They are only offering it on some sports and on limited markets, but WDW bets on Soccer are covered, and so are NRL WDW bets as well.
Cheers mate, just want to let someone know
Radwanska +1,5 set handicap
Wozniacki 2-0
Both singles. Good luck all.
I’m not feeling 100% confident about the Wozniacki bet so I will watch live and cover if it goes the wrong way.
Ranges win @ 2.1 *LOST* 4-5
Rangers conceding 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th to lose the game.
Also disappointing was Darvish retiring after the first innings because of ‘tightness in his right bicep.’
Rangers where leading 4-2 at the top of the 8th and I looked for a cover but no one had the game in play for some reason!
Fancy Tigers to beat the Mets @ evens but I’m gonna wait to make sure that someone is offering in play before I place a small bet.
reddevils- If you’re not sure about 2-0 Wozniaki why take it at 4/9? Not a good price in my opinion as Witthoeft is playing well and Wozniaki looked vulnerable for a set of her last match.
5/1 Golubev in play to beat seppi…..going to put a few quid on he’s grown into thsi match nicely.
I do just mean a few quid as i’ve got seppi in my treble!
I’m trying to clear a bonus Ad, so I’m going for small stakes on odds that have to be minimum 1.40. I’m going for it!
Fair enough, safer bets out there i reckon tough. I just know i’ll get enticed by the odds and a few big forehand winners and end up unwisely backing Witthoeft for a huge shock win!
Based on Tips from this site, i’m on the following 4-FOLD at EVENS:
– Wozniaki WIN 1.14
– Glasgow Warriors -12.5 1.14
– Radwankska +6.5 1.22
– Willem vs FC Twente OVER 1.5 goals 1.25
4-FOLD pays $1.98
I instantly regret that decision! But that’s the first leg of the treble in. Need Barrere and Kokkinakis to win now.
***Posted Earlier***
***LOST*** 1. AUSSIE RULES SUPER SINGLE:
– Sydney Swans winning margin 1-39 points @ $2.10
***WON*** 2. NRL, A-League & Super Rugby SAFE Treble:
– Parramatta Eels +13.5
– Sydney FC DNB
– Brumbies WIN
TREBLE pays $1.77
***Broke even in the end as I staked a bit more on the Treble to return my stake incase the main bet failed. Apologies to anyone who jumped on the Swans…I knew they were fielding a weakened team but didn’t know it was that weak (its 1st time Lions have beaten the Swans in 6 years!)
Atilla no worries, u cant win them all :)
few above evens bets im considering today
marsielle dc
Paul butler decision (boxing)
1.30/1
later
cavs
rockets
1.32/1
will wait for all the spreads to come out before having a punt though.
Hey AD, have you ever tried taking handicaps on insane underdogs against $1.01 priced favourites? Reason I ask is, I was just observing Delic vs Djokovic. Delic won 5 games, meaning Djokovic won by 7. The +7.5 handicap for Delicious was priced at $10.50..,insane prices.
I might start betting on these ones…might start with the Andy Murray match.
Not done much of that Attila no. Might have a look at some davis cup markets to see if I can spot any gooduns.
Coric flying after getting broken in the opening game. On 3-0 @ 10/1 so fingers crossed!
Kokkinakis not faring so well though so my trebles looking a little shaky. Stick to singles Ad!
Coric 2 sets and a break up. Pay day!
Better cash out the 3-0 too i suppose. no need to be greedy.
Thoughts on Monfils/Isner Ad?
Cycling: Strade Bianche 2015
Great one day race on gravel roads with short climbs in Tuscany and a spectacular steep finish in Siena.
I will be on below match-ups, winner in capitals:
KENNAUGH v Montaguti
VAN AVERMAET v Vanmarcke
Double @ 2.83 with WH
Kennaugh and Montaguti never did this race before, but after the great racing in Andalucia I have to go for Kennaugh. Montaguti is his teams 3rd man in tomorrow’s race and I think he will have to help the other 2 favourites.
Van Avermaet already had some good results in this race with a 5th and a 6th place. For Vanmarcke it’s his first Strade, but I can’t see him beat Van Avermaet on these sort of climbs.
Mr. Orange, not sure about Van Avermaet (effect of the doping case) + Vanmarcke looked impressive last race and I wouldn’t write him off.
Ad, Wozniacki played her best match of the tournament, 2-0 WIN!
NBA : Pacers +3,5 but need another one, any advice?
I thought about that Reddevils, but maybe it lifts him and he had no problems to follow in the Omloop. Just think he is a better finisher than Vanmarcke.
Ad maybe u wathing Struff-Simon…
I backed Struff ad nice odds (3.00) and now just dunno if let it go or cashout…I dont know his stamina if he can play 5 sets if maybe the match goes further….
im nervous lol
for the stats guys dallas are 8 and 0 on the under so may want a look at that vs portland. set at 198
from last nights thread , final score way under so would of been a winner , also in discussion with J picked p -4 and that would of come in too..
speaking to J now trying to finalize our SS
Lots of darts on tonight my picks are Petersen Wade Webster treble, anyone watching today noticed any outsiders in good form?
Kokkinakis from 2 sets down to land an unlikely looking treble!
Hope anyone on Coric cashed out at 2-0 and a break up…that’s still a win in my book!
Good Job on the men’s trebble Ad! Never thought it was gonna get in after those 2 sets.
The SS has been chosen and as I’ve gone to post it it’s gone up another .5 point.

Ok, thanks huggy. I’m all over the Pacers!
If Wardy wins this from 2 sets down against Isner I’ll be jumping for joy!
Just on a little fun bet for the rugby league St Helens over 29.5 team points Huddersfield over 31.5 team points pays 2/1 @SkyBet
Evening Guys, Friday night Rugby league
Enhanced Treble
ST HELENS
WIGAN
HUDDERSFIELD
13/10 Skybet
Wigan and Saints are away from home, but I am expecting a big win for Saints. Wigan are the slight concern but they have Sarginson, Powell and Bowen back tonight, and after blowing 12 and 14 pts leads recently I will take them to edge this. Huddersfield haven’t won this season but they could pick up their first win tonight. They pushed Leeds all the way last week and we saw, what Leeds did to Hull last night in that second half. They also pushed Wigan all the way the week before.
Wakefield v ST Helens sky game ko 8pm
Wakefield are banged up going into this match especially in the forwards.Scott Anderson, Chris Annakin, Ian Kirke and Jon Molloy are all out that that is a big worry. Saints will dominate up front and I expect them to win well. My bet on the game is simply Saints to go Over their 5.5 try line. Wakefield may tire late on and Saints can score from all over the pitch. It is 11/10 Skybet.
I am on the total saints tries but I will take a long shot punt on Atelea Vea to score. The big Tongan scored on his debut and with all the forwards missing for the wildcats, I can see the big guy crashing over close to the line, especially when the wildcat pack starts to tire. Vea is 9/2 Paddy Power.
SAINT TO SCORE O5.5 TRIES 11/10
Long shot
VEA TO SCORE 9/2
Good luck if your having a bet
Kohlschreiber for the next 2 sey down comeback?!? 25/1..
Mets are now 17/4 in play which is worth covering for 25 ish % of stake.
WARDY!!! you absolute beauty
Wardy – as big an upset as Buster Douglas smashing Tyson
absolute legend !!!
Took him 2 sets down. funnily enough also backed him last year v Querrey in play when he was 50/1. Love Wardy!
Pospisil d Nishikori @ 9/2
Seen enough from both of these to suggest an upset could potentially materialise. Probably not, but it could! Home advantage can’t be underestimated in the Davis cup and Vasek may just rise to the occasion.
3-0 @ 22/1. ;)
***in-play bet***
Rugby league St Helens to win 11/10 SkyBet losing 12-6 but expecting a big 2nd half!
Levanteeeeeeee 2-1!
Suddenly Levante winning, and fulham score for a BTTS. Goals flying in everywhere in these 2nd halves!

Tigers to win @ Mets @ evens *LOST* 5-4
Tiny, tiny profit made thanks to the cover @ 17/4. That’s what I should have had (at least) last night too, but no bloody in play!
Bottom of the 9th again got me!
14-gold…NICE! Good luck
Cavs/Hawks total now at 206! Hopefully a good sign gents. ‘Hopefully’.
Kings seeing a lot of money coming into this game. Going to have a small bet on Kings -2.5 @ 10/13 @ 365 (Alternative Spread)
Spread jumped 2 points in an hour.
Ireland to beat zimbabwe 11/10
THinK ireland will be eager to pick it up after being hammered by sa
ALso sa at 2/9 to beat pakistan for a few extra quid
Another thing to do in close cricket matches is bet big on the 11/10 and wait till opposition go 11/10 in play
Maybe gonna have to put it on tomorrow’s thread, but Harry was one of few I followed on the football thread. Anyone know/Harry if you’re here, why you mainly/only comment here now?
Maybe I’m just missing it
Cheers
Jack, Harry is on a skiing holiday so tipping isn’t one of his priorities at the moment. He’ll be back soon and on the football thread.
Ah okay thanks Jordan, totally understandable!
Hope you’re alright mate, and hope you’re back tonight!
Early morning NRL double going for match points, over 44.5 in the knights game and over 40.5 in the cowboys game pays just over 2/1 @SkyBet
Shotty, you’ve got the same idea as me. Good to see others keen on the NRL!
I’m tipping overs in the Newcastle game, unders in the Gold Coast game & Cowboys to cover the small spread.
Attila good to hear mate glad you think the knights game will go over what do you think about the cowboys and the chances of it going over? Think i will put your other two tips in a double!
The SS has been chosen and as I’ve gone to post it it’s gone up another .5 point.
Atlanta Hawks/Cleveland Cavaliers over 203.5 total points @ 10/11 @ Various **LOSE**
Over 202.5 @ PP @ 10/11 **WIN**
Can you believe it? Me and Huggy talking between us with the .5 point going up cost that to lose. Well, not really because I’m not over 6ft an don’t play basketball, not sure on Huggy. Anyone in their right mind would have taken the 202.5 so hope you did. We both fancied the Pacers -6 and Huggy posted so options were there. Terribly unlucky. James was sh*t! 9 Turnovers. Not worth an MVP vote!
Going to have a small bet on Kings -2.5 @ 10/13 @ 365 (Alternative Spread) **LOSE**
its a grey area and although I had the 202.5 I’m thinking if it changes during the day use the alternative spread and back the original bet.
love to know who had 202.5
pacers did indeed do the bizz . hope one or two joined us
.5 pts missing, can you believe it!
Anyway, the call was good Jordan/Huggy, and Pacers nailed it which made up for some of the loss! Better luck tomorrow!
Oriaz 14 turnovers between LeBron and Irving, and these two are supposed to be superstars? More like greedy ba’star’ds. They really don’t play as a team especially when they’re losing. Gonna blame LeBron on that. I shouldn’t be annoyed as I still won but don’t like seeing people lose if they follow.
I’ve had an altercation with somebody tonight and until he’s gone I’m not going to post anymore so I’ll leave my thoughts with Huggy tomorrow.
Good luck lads.
mate.. u are one of the best tipsters I’ve seen on a website. thats simply it.
Cheers huggy but it doesn’t mean much when I’ve been posting here for almost two years and somebody can come on their first week, call me an idiot yesterday, a loser today and call my mother a dog and still be allowed on this site? I won’t have it. I’ll email you tomorrow mate.
1 single insult should result in a life ban and aiming insults at your family shows the lack of intelligence people are blessed with.
mate I’m sure you have plenty of friends from this site you owe noone anything and you do what you feel you have to do.
chat tomorrow afternoon when I’m up off nights
You make a point Oriaz but I’ve got huggys email so I can still give him my thoughts on the NBA. Just giving it a rest on the football thread until I see if his whereabouts have vanished.

Just realised it was 7/8 on the 8 fold with Memphis/Lakers going over. B*llocks.
GSW will cover the 2.5 too. Double b*llocks.
Huggy, I was on +201.0 as I got on it about 12 hours before it was posted by Jordan (gr8 minds think alike eh!). But that 3 pointer on the final buzzer from 76’s killed my Jazz -6.5 bet…lost by .5 points…same heartbreaking when that happens!
For today, I’m on Pacers -8.5 and just that one bet…keep fading the Knicks until they stopped getting smashed!
