NOVAK DJOKOVIC showed he'll be the man to beat in Paris as he blew away Roger Federer to win the Rome Masters.
The world No.1 was already Roland Garros favourite but the manner of his win suggests he'll be unstoppable on the red clay in his pursuit of another Grand Slam title.
The French Open starts next week and there are warm-up events starting today so watch out for the usual tips being put up.
Elsewhere today it's pretty slim pickings with cricket from the County Championship and one match in the NHL plus a handful of Major League baseball fixtures.
Good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.
Jordan,
Rockets going through surely jackpot for our GSW bet. Tempted to do a slight cover as I stand to win £2,000+ and back Cleveland as a cover ……
GSW 1/7 to win series vs rockets and to be honest I don’t think any team left in the competition (barring Cleveland) can possibly win it this year, and to be honest Cleveland haven’t been that great!
Morning/afternoon Treble

Ellis not sure if you saw my reply but I’m not worried at this point. Long way to go yet anyway. A possible 14 games. Warriors are -10 favourites on Wednesday, we shouldn’t be worried :)

Any idea why Shvedova is underdog against Bertens? 2-0 up on the H2H & decent form on the clay. I’ll be having a bet on her.
Also a treble of Mladenovic Keys & Jankovic.
Good Luck
Jordan,
I’d be a lot more worried if they were playing the clippers or Spurs haha! 4-2 I’m predicting against the rockets.
The funny thing about that article is the guy who hammered clippers to win $6 and lost lol
Juan from what I can see she’s it’s 2-1 to shvedova in head to head form.
£25 on over 12.5 rebounds ( 11 , nearly )lost
£25 on over 26.5 points ( 27 , WINNER !!!)
jordan cant see how rockets are home under dogs / and they shouldn`t have been , still nice to sit and enjoy a game..
looking forward to some tips in the next round , a couple of iffy nights but still way up , luckily on the only game memphis won..
Re-invented you are indeed correct, apologies about that, the site i use for comparing seems to have updated since last night as it wasnt giving Bertens recent clay court form until now. Any fancies for today yourself?
Really hate the American sports, absolutely terrible sports I wouldn’t go near.just put 100 on kuznetsov to beat haider mauer at evens. Just started yo
Kuznetsov just one first. Hope some of u Americans followed and one some money from my tip which will win
Malcolm – good start on kuznetsov.
I’m on a keys/ lisicki double today – didn’t get a chance to post it though.
What do u think on Riske to defeat Diyas later. It’s 6/5 u think??
Nice one iddy your halfway there. Good shout on riske who beat diyas in January albeit hard surface. I think 5/4 is well worth it gonna back it myself with 500 notes mate.
Juan I’ve noticed myself that some of the sites that show recent form can be very misleading sometimes, I’m currently on sousa who’s just took the 1st set. But I normally stay away from tennis until the later stages of the tournament’s unless I’m putting underdogs on.
Re-Invented – any comparison sites you would recommend? Dont say ‘Go Compare’ lol
Juan and reinventing are you getting on riske? Sure thing and great odds

I use matchstat and steviegtennis Juan, I’ll be staying away from riske neither of them are in form on clay at the minute but I can see diyas causing some problems. Hope it comes in for you but to much of a riske for me ;)
Ok then Magic Malcolm if you insist! Couldnt possibly be any worse than my Shvedova pick – apologies to anyone who followed!
Remember, nothing is a sure thing in tennis and especially in women’s tennis.
Magic Malcolm, i’m on Thiemm 2-0 & Riske to win. Pays $3.90
Nice attila should be ok mate. I’m waiting on riske but definitely think we’ll win. Youzhny still playing though he’s just started?
not going too bad on the tennis atm but liski needs to focous if shes gonna win 2-0
Yuzheny Struff tie break. i hate tie breaks, shoots my nerves!
yuhzhny looks good for the set ^^
I know this is other sports thread, but I’m on the 4 Egyptian Premier League games coming up, all for the DRAW with the intention of cashing out between 30th-45th minute mark. Not usually many 1st half goals in Egypt so fingers cross today:
– Al Ragaa v Alaab Damanhour DRAW
– Ittihad El Shorta v Tala Ea El Gaish DRAW
– El Gouna v Al-Masry DRAW
– Wadi Degla v Al Nasr Cairo DRAW
4-FOLD pays odds of $1,036.77 (1 point on)
*Intention is to CASH-OUT once if there is a decent profit during the 1st half, however, looking at the stats, all 4 of these games actually stand a good chance to end in a Draw.
Thiemm looking good at the moment, not far away from him breaking Estrella i feel…
I had
melzer
thiem
lisiki
looking good but I don’t see lisiki winning 2-0 unfortunatly attalia
Try again Punterpounder ;-) Lisicki leading 5-4 in the 2nd now!
thiem making too many errors on serve…
Thiemm just threw away 3 set points! Feck!
Thiemm just threw away 3 set points! Feck!
Get in there Thiemm! Takes the 1st set.
Looking good for us gents well all be winners by dinners
I’m a bit worried about Riske, Diyas will keep it very close… If Thiemm wins 2-0 think i’ll cash-out my Double
No worries attila riske will definitely pull through. I’m watching her and she always warms up second set. Hold steady and you’ll win. He who dares rodney

thiem is bossing this second set looks like burgos has run out of steam
Youzheny wins 2-0, booyah!
Wow, never had so many Tennis games go to plan
definatly a good day for us punters in the tennis
I managed to get on Riske at 11/4 just 2 minutes ago and now she’s at 7/10!
riske wasn’t worth the risk :)
Who saw Petkovic being down 0-4?! Going to do in my 4-Fold. !0th place getting smashed by a 100+ placed opponent…
Petkovic must be playing with an injury, I cant find a live stream to see. Hope she retires and I get a void on that leg!

*Cashing out my Double of Thiemm 2-0 & Riske. Essentially, Riske leg is a void as its 1-1 atm, so its a WINNER at revised odds of $2.30.
form has a bigger say than the rankings in tennis and so it proved with petkovic who lost 3/5 in her last matches whare as her opponent won 3/5 but 5-0 is unexpected…
at 2-0 up I bet u wished you hadn’t of cashed out early …every penny counts
Well, better to be safe. There’s nothing wrong with being cautious. I’ve seen players chuck away 5-0 leads in final sets.
And Belluci lets it down. Wasnt even watching him, last I checked he was up 4-1 in the first set, then he got beat in a tie break! Always let down by the one that looks most likely!
Right, thats me done for the day. Later all
Bellucci playing WTA tennis today. Didn’t he have a double break?!!
With football season as good as done and now in silly mode in top lgs ive been looking at other markets for an opportunity to pick the bookies pockets and im having a little delve into this Saturdays Eurovision Final,yeah yeah shame on me i know :)
Anyway been taking a look at the songs and markets and have a feeling the Bookies may have made a huge mistake on pricing Sweden as 7/4 hot faves,song is very weak in my opinion and is recieving anything but rave reviews from the listening public,standout has to be Norway’s entry which is getting nothing but possitive feedback online with most listing it as their favourite to win,lets not forget even poor songs {which this is not} from scandanavia always recieve top votes from their many cousins bordering them unlike the rest of Europe they actually like their neighbours up there.
Anyway Norway are available at a huge 33/1 generally and a strange 51/1 betfair.Ill be having a small stake on the win market but my Nap is Norway E/W 1/4 odds 33/1,17/2 to be placed is not to be sniffed at,can also take top 5 at around 5/2 if you wish for a lil safer.
Mr F is a big Eurovision fan so he’ll have a wee flutter on it and hopefully put up a thread.
Good Luck.
E/W is top 4 BTW.
What I’m on in the MLB tonight-
Brewers @ Tigers

Reasonably comfortable in the end with Neptunes winning in OT and the game total finishing at 143 after a high scoring 4th quarter.
Going to get very quiet on here in the next few months gents so I’ll be the first to say well done to all the NBA winners over the last couple of months. In my first season of betting it was one to remember so things can only get better for next season. The NFL will be with us in September so until then I might have to get involved in baseball (yikes).
Sad times Jordan! Not been following that long, yourself and the rest of the gang really seem to know your stuff! Gonna be strange without any bball. Looking forward to following next season. Hopefully I can brush up on my NBA, and contribute with some euro tips as well. Good luck with the baseball bud!
One of the weirdest bets I’ve ever placed, but I’m with you on the Eurovision Sean haha
Can someone give me a slight intro on baseball betting? For example I am seeing the Astros who are facing the Athletics at home and are at odds of 5/6 to win. Astros are top of the league whilst Athletics are at the rock bottom, why such good odds on Astros then?
Here Here Jordan.
Thanks for learning me in my 1st NBA season..love it now..gutted its nearly over.
In the mean time i cant wait for my 1st Season following NFL.
Will give Baseball a try but after a few google searches i still do not know the rules that well…The only way a team scores a Run is if a team member runs around all bases without getting out and also hitting it out of bounds..is that right or wrong?
P.s Hunter thanks for Euro Double earlier i put it in a Tennis acca and it won…cheers.
Evening gents back from my travels hope u been winning
Pre series bet
Series points matchbet
Steph Curry v James Harden
Seph Curry @ 11/10
How bout them rockets? Hats off don’t think anyone seen that coming
Paul pierces buzzer beater ruled out aswell u gotta love a bit of drama
Reading through I see some off u guys are getting into baseball , good luck with that just a pre warning it’s probably one of the most hardest sports to call in my opinion , I think even the baseball king dazzler will agree with me on that one
Wet lettuce the NFL is where the ££££ is
Baseball is a lot harder to get in to so hats off to Dazzler for putting his picks up and taking his time to post. I’d probably leave it altogether from an outsiders perspective. Pitchers get changed all the time so its difficult to go just by stats. The NFL will come quick enough and it we’ll have the pockets bulging once more!
Jordan a don’t do American sports normally but spent a few years in Canada and was only hockey or baseball to watch, will have a dabble on
cardinals v mets o5.5 game total 4/6
based on fek all other than watched Toronto blue jays in ma time and most went over 5 GL
Picksix how was Amsterdam mate?
I’m just glad the Warriors are still in it. I posted a fair few times earlier in the year saying I thought that they would win and anybody wanting a 5/2 EW bet on the Warriors to get to the Final would also have been profitable. Just got the Rockets in the way and I’ll be looking at big bucks!
Think the Hawks might shock if Kyrie is out.
Cheers Picsix hope you had a good trip…cant wait for NFL i will follow you boys whilst i learn.
Paul Pierce Buzzer beater not allowed cost me some decent Taty still licking my leaves on that one…oh well still up by a long way.
Ive give Baseball a wee try but it seems difficult at the min.
Winning thanks to goals doubles n trebles in nordic footy leagues ..so that will keep me going through summer..i hope.
Australia 11/2 to win eurovision. Im on them and norway ….so far. Ill pick 4 since bookies paying 4 places
Pleased Jordan said that.
I have my 1st bet for game 1 placed.
Warriors ml
Hawks ml
1.18/1 bet 365…65 points.
Jordan it was amazing mate had some crazy nights over there my minds still a bit scrambled but I don’t think I was expecting anything less than that haha
Ye mate as long as the warriors or clippers were in it I would be happy but looks like it’s down to GS now though and yes it is looking good they should breeze past the rockets
I gotta give a special thanks to blake griffin I put a crazy bet on his points total on Friday and it paid off but definetly was not fun watching the game though I must be honest just had one of them moments
Blake griffin MVP 2016 ;)
Hawks/Cavs is a tos of a coin to me I’m expecting it to be a low scoring series and will probably go with the under on the points tomorow as my main bet as both defences have been strong and 197 seem quite high
