GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS are 6-4 favourites at Stan James for NBA championship glory but they still have plenty of work to do in their Conference semi-final with Memphis Grizzlies.
The Warriors trail 2-1 in the best-of-seven series after back-to-back defeats and are 1-2 at Paddy Power to make it all square when they travel to Memphis for game four on Monday night.
The home side are 15-8 at BetVictor to extend their advantage with a third straight triumph while in the night's other semi-final Atlanta Hawks are at Washington Wizards, who grabbed a last-gasp win last time out for a 2-1 series lead.
The Hawks are 10-17 at Paddy Power to tie it up at 2-2 while the Wizards are 17-10 at Coral to stretch their lead to 3-1.
Andy Murray had a brilliant win over Rafa Nadal on Sunday – his first against the Spaniard on clay – to win the Madrid Open and all roads lead to Rome this week for the latest Masters event. Monday's first-round action features the likes of John Isner, Phillip Kohlschreiber and in the women's draw Venus Williams and Angelique Kerber.
Also among the Monday highlights is action from cycling's Tour d'Italia and Tour of California plus IPL cricket. Good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.

@Hunter: Or do u mean bengle to win?.
I’m waiting patiently for your morning tips ATILA
You could double Simon with Keys to win!?!
I’m a bit wary of simon. He put in a shocking performance against Gimeno Traver a few weeks back. I’ll wait to see how he performs in his first round match. Hope he shows up for you
Good stuff last night guys. Clippers are really impressive lately.
I have the same question as Picksix; Jordan/Huggy do you think they’re worth backing for the champions title at 7/2 ?
I’m have some stake on Warriors to win the conference and the title but seeing how they’ve been shut down by the Grizzlies lately … Grizzlies are at 10/1 to win the title and 5/1 to win the conference as well.

@ Felix, I know what you mean bud. No H2H to go by either but I think Simon’s style of play should suit here!?! Fingers crossed!
Upswing, yes that’s the same guy.
You can cover your stake on the tennis double by backing sock to win @ 11/4
I think Modolo has a very good chance Reddevils. Felline could be in the mix too. Will be interesting to see which sprinters will survive after the climbs.
In play Sock to win v Simon 7/4 with 365

I’m still looking but putting this up early. The Dodgers price has already come in a little bit this morning and I think the price could possibly come in even more as Greinke is starting tonight.

Are these confident selections? As i know nothing of the American scene. I’m strictly English Football but with close of season im foraying into other sports.
Thanks

Micky B these fellas know there stuff..like u I mainly bet on football but some of the guys knowledge on here is frightening lol
TENNIS TIP – for later on today at the Rome Masters
Gasquet v Fabbiano – Fabbiano +6.5 on games handicap 10/11.
Fabbiano has had 2 good wins in qualies. Plus it’s his home masters and will want to do well. A 6-2, 6-4 loss would be enough here and I think he can get the 6 games required.
Early Tennis Double:
Samarkand Challenger in Uzbekistan
Vladimir Ivanov Vs MYENI (7:30)
ATP Rome
Jack Sock Vs GILLES SIMON (10am)
(Winners in uppercase)
Double pays 2/1 @ Bet365 **WIN**
Didn’t see the match but I know Simon’s break point conversation was poor!
Well done if you followed. :)
Stephen Welsh,
Thanks for that! Ill have a play!
Regards
Micky B
@Iddy: Do u mean Fabbiano to win please?.
Another Errani break fest. Her serve is just painfully bad
Yeah i done the unders tip – think it shot already !!
Nah, he means to keep relatively close
Or more like a respectful loss.
Pytha,
If you back Fabbiano +6.5 games the result becomes irrelevant. Like Iddy said…..Fabbiano can lose the Match 6-4 6-2 and the bet is still a winner! 6-3 6-3 is a winner along with 6-5 6-1. The reality is, Fabbiano has to win 6 games to get over the 12 game winning line first in the bet as he has a 6.5 game start.
Hope this helps
Micky B
Pytha – it’s not for Fabbiano to win. It’s for him to stay within 6.5 games of gasquet during the course of the match. It’s a handicap bet.
An alternate is over 17.5 match games at 10/11 also.
Thanks bosses……You’ve really being helpful
Think I’m gonna leave a single tonight and jus go with this double
Washington Wizards + 9
Memphis Grizzlies + 11
Double @ EVS
Still think the Wizards spread is generous hopefully the yanks pile on the money for the Hawks like the other night and then depending on the spread I might take the Wizards on the single aswell
Good luck
For those of you who miss the game above at 7:30am, I think Simon on it’s own is good value @ 8/11. **WON**
One me for me tonight-
Yankees @ Rays
Rays @ 1.83
Mickey I’m pretty confident in that double. Marlins @ Dodgers is probably similar to Arsenal vs Swansea tonight (with Dodgers being Arsenal).
There should be plenty of runs in the over 6.5 game too. Miller park is 3rd best park to get runs and top for home runs and two pitchers starting who give up hits and runs, so for me everything is in favour for the hitters tonight.

Roberta Vinci vs Heather Watson
Set Betting: Roberta Vinci to win 2-0 @ 13/8 William Hill
John Wall set to be out for the Wizards again but it’s not like it bothered them last time. I think the Grizzles are probably a safe bet but I’m just not backing against the Warriors.
Otto Porter Jr (Wizards) Over 12.5 Points @ 5/6 @ PP
Porter has averaged 14 points over the series against the Hawks, leading the Wizards scoring in game 3 with 17 points. With Wall out once more he should have another decent game at home tonight.

Didn’t expect that Battaglin would survive the climb, but he did. Nice one reddevils with Felline, 2nd place!
I’m on Modolo top 3 and Felline top 3, Mr. Orange.
I don’t know why my comment isn’t coming through.
WIN (Felline@3) (Modolo was 181..haha)
Thanks Mr.Orange. I had posted the odds on these bets and everything but apparently my comments don’t get through on my other network..
Comment on your bet : To take both Matthews and Gerrans was a bad idea, they are in the same team. Never do that again!
My tactic is working so far. Hopefully more success tomorrow! I will post them in the morning.
Reddevils, I admit that was stupid. First I had Felline in the match-ups and changed it to Gerrans later, don’t ask me why! :)
I hope they have a match-up involving Pelucchi for tomorrow. He came in last today and yesterday.

Dazzler,
Thanks for that! I’m on Dodgers to win and Brewers vs White Sox over 5.5 runs (Just under Even Money) There was no over 6.5 where i went, only 5.5 and 7.5 so i chose 5.5!
I’ll be in bed when the Dodgers ‘Kick Off’ so hopefully waking up to a winning ticket!

Haha! Better off flipping a coin sometimes a think
Fabbiano playing a shocking set. Lost it 6-1
+6.5 looking impossible now. He played so well v Runlev yesterday as well
Bit strange there was no o6.5. All the prices I put up are from bet365.
I would have took 5.5, for the extra safety.
I’m might see the start of the Sox game but I’ll be tucked up in bed while the Dodgers game is on!
It does feel like that sometimes Felix!
Anyone on the Fabbiano +6.5 tip can cash out at 50% profit.
If he wins the set on a tie break can see gasquet smashing him again in set 3 so might want to consider it.
Fabbiano is also 3-1 to win the tie-break which can also be used as a cover
He did pretty well to make it to the tie break.
thinking ill be on warriors spread tonight
curry surely wont be cold AGAIN will he !?
Warriors -4 evens
Anasewhiz
A’s are coming off a long and not very successful series of road games so could be feeling fatigued.
Kazmir hasn’t given up a run in his 2 home starts this season though.
This will be Red Sox 4th road game in a 10 series, having lost 2 of 3 to Blue Jays.
Porcello is looking for his 3rd straight win and although overall his not pitched as well as Kazmir, he’s only given up 2 runs between his last 2 starts.
Neither team have been very consistent with the bat so who ever brings there A game could win by 4 or 5.
Alternatively, and what is would say is more likely, it will come down to how the bullpens come in and perform. A’s is worst but Sox are inconsistent.
Red Sox +1.5 is a good pick but I’d want to watch the game and look to cover if Sox get a couple in front.
Royals should beat the Rangers. Rangers have the worst home record and Lewis struggles against the Royals. He’s 1-4 in his last 6th and has an era of 6.55.
Duffy has performed better on the road for the Royals then he has at home and he should get decent run support today.
You should have the Royals in the bag by the time Red Sox start, which would put you in a good position for the cover if you need it.
Half stakes on this

GO MEMPHIS !!!! / CLIPPERS DESERVE THE NBA , and i`m on gsw and i hope they go out … As i joined picksix at 6`s with the clippers
Therefore red sox may not be the best bet @dazzler.. Thanks Mate..
Would do them as singles and a treble..
@huggybear.. GSW hav really let me down. I am not talking of the bets I had, just their performances have been a let down.. I supported all thru d regular season only too disappointed at the playoffs..
Should hav allow new orleans play memphis, at least we knw wat too expect.
Haha go on huggy hopefully it pays off again for u mate
It’s a huge game that , the veteran Grizzlies are showing the young warriors how it’s done
They lose tonight then the Warriors might aswell start booking their holidays
Anasewhiz I’m not saying they won’t win with +1.5 but those are just the factors I can see.

On wiZards plus 4.5 )like ye all advised
ON jordans prop
ON millsap prop too. They cant all lose
EXcept ….can they?
Jordan – On anything other than the half stakes bet tonight bud
Just chucked a point on your prop bet but at over 13.5 points at 1.90
Steady eddy from me for a while as keep letting myself down chasing a big winner. Need to realise its a long term game not a short term boom and bust.
Paul – after the weekend i Have just had they can all lose and you can blame me for following :-)
Tom Brady suspended for 4 games haha muppet

Win Double: 23/10 @ Paddy Power
Wizards struggling during the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter, rubbish spell
Yup that prop is useless
WAshington plus 4.5 useless
Went on millsap n he looked decent but they took him off to prolong my agony
SOrry for jinxing
NOw 16 outta 18 lost
ONTO MEMPHIS
Nice one Picksix went on the Wizards points
Washington Wizards over 48 first half points @ 10/11
**WON**
Guys don’t count out your washington bets just yet I know it’s not looking good but this is hoops you only need 2 minutes for a game to turn on its head
Yeah maybe theyl get a buzzerbeater n lose by 4
THey need aa lower scoring quarter. If its shooting hawks win as otto not scoring for wizards
MAybE hes a 2nd half man if they persist with him
Picksix, lets hope so, just need a change of momentum for a reasonable spell and only 10 in it, I have them on a +8.5 double with Grizzlies +9 (only a point)
Is otto porter on 3 points, need another 11 points from him
On your points over as well jordan which is looking fine for this game :-)
Just 3 points invested
Mike Conley Over 4.5 Assists @ 10/11 @ WillHill – 1.1 point
Warriors win by 10+ tonight, Pauls correct score crystal ball told me :D
Haha obviously a joke, I can’t call that game! Hoping for some points and that’s it, preferably 187.
hawks over 198 WINNER !!!
Literally. …2 mins….looool
Keen hugmeister haha
Theyv even taken milsapp off so that I can hv a clean sweep of losses though of course I had least on him.
Anybody worried about their team being behind double digits with a minute to play need not worry! Watch! It can happen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfurCV1FDpM
Otto Porter Jr (Wizards) Over 12.5 Points @ 5/6 @ PP **LOSE** Only has 3 and hes no T-Mac! Didn’t realise he wouldn’t be starting tonight.
First part of the double in so hopefully a fairly high scorer in Memphis. You can only keep a Warrior caged for so long!
Haha well done huggy!
predicted 221 . never going to fall u 200 u knew that
big one now mate
And wizards lose by 5
More losses.
ON warriors now so theyl lose or do I go memphid
Haha Jordan fu*k me that was a while ago I was just a nipper when that happened one of the best comebacks ever
Unlucky paul nothing worse wen your bet loses on intentional fouling mate
grizzles done for.
t well never mind
Don’t usually cash out but going to do it now while I’m still offered a bit of profit Grizzlies are not getting back into this one
Think I’m gonna leave a single tonight and jus go with this double
Washington Wizards + 9 (WON)
Memphis Grizzlies + 11
Double @ EVS ** CASHED OUT ** (23% profit)
Grizzlies down by 8 can’t see them getting back into it they have lost there discipline that won them the last two games
Typical. Warriors do what I want them to do when I lose faith in them!
That’s bball betting… it’ll be 30 I think
warriors -14.5 in this mood
I’m going HUGE at that . huge
As long as there’s 82 second half points I don’t care who wins haha, would prefer Golden Sate as I wouldn’t mind that 9/2 to be honest!
Jordan was thinking the same mate, spoted anything inplay you like ?
Had to cash that bet out I could tell from the first few minutes into the game GS have changed their shape pass movement much better from them
I Should have known better, of course they were going to change it up they are the most dynamic team in the league
I’m not that one with you 20/23
Warriors Over 47.5 2nd half points might be a go but not overly keen mate, too much on the double which I’m looking at covering? 82 2nd half point, what do we think lads?
What the total u need for your double mate?
I’ve gone with the 15 points on GS instead , I only really like betting 1st half totals
F*ck it Under 187.5 @ 17/2 @ PP is good enough for me for cover. If it ends on 187 I’ll be laughing!
SPLASH!!
Can’t believe I was bad mouthing these guys earlier should win by at least 30 now
Mike Conley Over 4.5 Assists @ 10/11 @ WillHill – 1.1 point **WIN**
Probably should have gone with my crystal ball assumption haha
i got a HUGE sweat on , 4 figures riding on this , i can`t flipping watch
Haha it’s all good huggmeister
Awww gutted! One shot out from a double payout!
Half stakes on this
Wizards/Hawks Over 195.6
Grizzlies/Warriors Over 186.5
9/10 @ 365 **LOSE BY 2 POINTS**
Covered @ 17/2 so can’t complain (posted)
Porter Over 12.5 Points @ 5/6 @ PP **LOSE**
Mike Conley Over 4.5 Assists @ 10/11 **WIN**
Huggy I think you have lost that discipline of yours buddy haha
Thank f for that..
that wasn’t fun
now and again .. keeps the blood flowing
was thinking they’ll batter em
GS Warriors -14.5 @ 20/23 **WON**
These late nights definetely pay off
Unlucky on that one Jordan two lay ups missed aswell at the end
With the last swing of the bat….3 run homer….dodgers win..double at over evens comes in…nice tipping dazzler!
Dazzler,
WINNER!!!
What’s good for today?
