IT'S a straight shootout for the world No.1 spot today when Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic go head to head in the ATP Tour Finals in London.
Murray came through an epic semi-final battle against Milos Raonic – breaking the record for the longest match in Tour finals history for the second time this week – and there must be doubts over how much he has left in the tank.
Djokovic enjoyed an easy win over Kei Nishikori to book his spot and is 8-15 favourite at Betway to lift the trophy while Murray is the 31-16 outsider at Marathonbet.
The Grand Slam of Darts also reaches a conclusion today with the semis first up – James Wade against Gary Anderson and Michael van Gerwen versus Peter Wright – before the two finalists fight it out for glory.
There's also a super Sunday of NFL action plus the likes of NBA and cricket worth a flutter so as usual let's hear all your tips and chat.
In December 2020 we sadly

Billy Vunipola (Eng) anytime tryscorer 9/10 LOSE
Decent day and NAP was a winner so that’s the main thing. Springbok rugby continually hitting new lows. Political interference ruining the game! Wales look a sure thing next weekend.
Can’t believe whats happening to SA. The world order of rugby is changing which is good to see. Japan are a team to watch, should have followed my gut with them after last weeks win over Georgia.
Nice bets once again. When did you post them? I must have missed them as would have got on a few.
Posted them on Friday after the totals came out. Yeh it’s terrible to see what’s happening to the Boks. Yip Japan definitely one to watch. Came so close yesterday
One for the road:
France v Australia
Australia +4
2.00 @ bet365
☆☆☆WINNER☆☆☆
Great pick! Really thought France would win after the Aussies made a couple changes. Can never trust the French I suppose
Aussies seem keen to put their woes behind them and go home without a loss. Eng v Aus should be a cracker.
Pick – Dallas Mavericks +8 @ 1.90 (PP) – *VOID*
Pick – Clippers -7 @ 1.90 (PP) – *VOID*
Both bets voided lol. Mav’s lost by 8 and Clippers won by 7.
For some reason paddy power haven’t refunded the Mav’s bet, which is odd.. ?
Well done any winners
NBA record
Wins – 16
Lost – 12
3 wins 3 losses, hopefully a couple of winners today to get into profit this wknd.
Sale v Saracens
Sale under 19.5 team points
1.80 @ bet365
Not something Sale have done regularly this season and even more so against the number one team in the country.
GL if you follow
Stade v Montpellier
Under 43.5 total points
1.80 @ bet365
Bet on these early matches a couple of times now and they always seem to be low scoring affairs. Montpellier also keep it tight away from home, should be a tight affair.
GL if you follow
NFL double- Ben roethlisberger over 272.5 yards, Tom Brady over 292.5 yards – 40 quid returns 135 really fancy both QB‘s to get close to their yards against the Cleveland browns and San Fran 49ers
NI Open final bet:
Hawkins/King U8.5 50+ breaks – 5/6 PP
Out of the 128 players in the first round, Mark King would have been one of the last I’d have picked to make the final. Hawkins was very nervy trying to close out the semi last night and only for an incredible mistake from Hamilton, he may not even be here. I expect Hawkins nerves to continue in the final and with King not known for his big breaks, I think the final could be low on 50+ breaks. King has won 27 frames this week but has only made 9 50+’s in those.
GSOD semis:
Wright/MVG over 24.5 legs – 8/11 Skybet (NAP)
Anderson -3 180’s v Wade – 11/10 PP
Same nap as @tungsten above. Think the odds makers have been a little disrespectful towards Wright’s chances here. Wright is probably playing as well as he ever has and with MVG missing a lot of doubles, Wright will have his chances to pounce on the mistakes. In WSOD final 2 weeks ago, Wright pushed MVG before losing 11-9. I’d be amazed if he couldn’t win at least 9 legs and by 2.30 his 5/1 win odds could look very big.
I love taking on James Wade in the 180’s market. He’s hit 9 in 5 games so far and unfortunately 5 of those came against van de Pas when I backed VDP most 180’s. So that’s 4 in total in his other 4 games. Anderson hit 8 180’s in the last 6 legs v RVB last night. His turn of foot to get over the line against RVB was incredible and I can see him continuing that form into today.
Gordon had another terrible night of shooting for the Jazz and is apparaently still dealing with pain in his finger which saw him miss the first few games of the season. No excuses, Gord! The Warriors got their revenge in Milwaukee (only just) and covered the -2 with the 76ers and Suns game going over for the 6/5 winner. Have spread out the NFFL bets this week but all are below. Good luck if you follow.

I have a good feeling about the NBA card tonight, first bet is locked in already.. the early game.
Atlanta Hawks @ NY Knicks (17:05)
Pick – Atlanta Hawks -2.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
Such a good line on this game, I will add reasoning a bit later.
Good luck all ✌
Very quickly because im on my way out..
Hawks @ Knicks.
There are a number of reason I like the Hawks in the early game this afternoon.
I always like backing good teams after a loss, Hawks last was a very close game away to Charlotte Hornets, losing by just the 4 points, which ended a 6 game winning streak.
Knicks have been a bit hit and miss so far, haven’t been too bad at home, but this is a bad match up for them today.
Ultimately Hawks are the all-round better team, with the superior bench, they are the much deeper team. Tim Hardaway Jr is the standout, he’s been great off the bench for the Hawks this season.. averaging 13.6, and a season high of 26 against the Lakers. He’s also a former Knicks player, expect him to have a decent game off the bench today.
The line as now moved to -3 in places.
Correction
Averaging 13.6 last 5 games. Sorry was in a rush.
Good luck if you follow.
Just thrown an acca together for a bit of fun with a few markets fancied tonight in the NFL with one NBA selection at the bottom. Also taking an NBA player prop. The Brooklyn Nets are giving up 5 points more per game over their last three than any other opponent in the league, also giving up 2 more points over their last three in the paint to opposing teams. Mason Plumee isn’t an offensive giant for the Trail Blazers but double-doubled in their loss to New Orleans with 7 assists. IF 365 give his PR&A after I’d strongly recommend taking anything around 20, but I’m going to suggest his points and rebounds. His totals this season are as follows; 25 , 12, 15, 20, 15, 8, 15, 14, 23, 16, 11.
With Brooklyn struggling to stop points in the paint, Plumee could get a few more looks at the rim. Nets are also struggling on the defensive glass so hopefully Mason will get some offensive boards which lead to points.

GSOD final bets
MVG v Wade
MVG -6.5 legs – 17/20 Sporting Bet
MVG -4.5 180’s – 10/11 Coral
MVG is simply an insane darts player. 17 180’s, averaged over 111 and hit nearly every 2nd double in his semi. Wade on the other hand, was lucky to find an out of sorts Anderson. Scored only 3 180’s in 30 legs and averaged less than 92. That simply will not do against the green machine. Expecting this to be very one sided with MVG adding a ridiculous 24th title this year.

Evening Guys your main man Max here with my NFL tips to share with you all.
First up the Pats face the hapless 49ers and looking for a steer is tough. I have to take Blount O90.5yds at 10/11. He faces the worse run d in the league and having run for over 120yds against Pittsburgh he can get 100yds hers.
The value lies with looking for a prop with the Niners and I am taking Kaepernick to rush for O43.5yds at 5/6 and he is 11/2 with Skybet to score and that got to be worth a few quid. (He is the same price as Dak was when I tipped him 2 weeks back, an omen maybe)
Blount O90.5yds 10/11
Kaepernick O43.5yds 5/6
GL
Blount to score 8/15 Hills
terrible weather in Cleveland earlier Ben roethlisberg only got 160 pass yards, tom Brady on just over 100 at half time should of done my research into the weather chucking it down in both games.

A very good day with the only loser being the MVG 180’s bet as he was far from himself hitting only 6 compared to Wade’s 2, one short of a perfect day. Also a note on the snooker bet for anyone that backed it, PP have settled it incorrectly. They’ve it settled at 10 but there was only 10. I have already got onto them so hopefully they rectify it soon.
Profit: 9.2 pts
