RONNIE O'SULLIVAN this week labelled snooker a “car boot sale sport” and today he's looking to motor into the quarter-finals of the UK Championship.
The Rocket – 11-8 title favourite at Betfred – hasn't needed to hit top gear so far and is 5-8 at 10bet to win with a -2.5 frame handicap against 2003 champ Matthew Stevens, who is 5-1 at Betway to win the best of 11 frame showdown.
Today's other matches at the green baize showpiece include former winner Shaun Murphy against Zhou Yuelong and Marco Fu versus Oliver Lines.
On the cricket front England suffered a third Test tonking as India took a 2-0 series lead and the hosts are now 9-4 at BetVictor to complete the 4-0 whitewash.
There's the usual batch of Stateside sport from the NBA and NHL worth a flutter tonight so as usual let's hear all your sporting tips and chat.
In December 2020 we sadly 
5/2 on Lines and 7/2 on Yuelong are very tempting. Cant decide whether to take them on the handicap or take the juicy outright prices.

@raoul-duke great spot on the pistons- u were spot-on on your write up earlier..hope someone was on it..

Well done winners
Unlucky mate, was definitely a night for the underdogs… including my shout on the Pistons haha. Wow, kicking myself a bit for not backing them after my analysis on the game. Talked myself out of it ??
Let’s find some winners tonight ?
Tell ya what mate that was a great shout on the pistons and u called it so early in the morning ..odds must have been crazy ..
Yeah we will find winners tonight…keep up the good analysis mate ??
Cheers bud. From now on I’ll trust my instincts, even if I am wrong.. at least the research was done with sound reasoning.
Couple of angles I like for tonight… will see what I can find when I get more time.
That’s it man instinct backed up with good research- then it’s up to the team to perform..
Wish I didn’t stay up to watch that Houston game now feel like a zombie walking to work ?..
Thx Raoul on Detroit forgot about it but backed it during the 1st quarter when leading 28 23 still got 5/4 on betfair happy days ?

SA Spurs @ Dallas Mavericks
Pick – Spurs -5.5 (1st Half) @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
Spurs will bounce back after that surprising loss at home to Magic last night, Pop will have his team focused and should have no problem dismantling this depleted Mav’s team.
I’m taking the 1st half spread because Spurs will undoubtedly start strong.
Good luck all.

Yuelong +2.5 – v Murphy – Evs PP *loser*
Lines win – v Fu – 9/4 PP *loser*
Back to back bad days to finish the month. Yuelong had his chances but froze on the big stage. Only saw first frame of Lines game which he had his chances to win it. Didn’t expect to come home to see him losing 6-0.
