THE new Formula One world champ could be crowned this weekend at the Mexican Grand Prix where Nico Rosberg stands on the brink of glory.
The German will land the world title if he wins Sunday's race and Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton finishes 10th or lower.
Today it's qualifying and Hamilton is 8-11 favourite at Skybet to claim pole position, with Rosberg 6-4 at Paddy Power followed by Daniel Ricciardo (20-1, Ladbrokes) and Max Verstappen (22-1, BetVictor).
Meanwhile, at the WTA Tour Finals it's semi-final day with Svetlana Kuznetsova taking on Dominika Cibulkova followed by the headline act as world No.1 Angelique Kerber (3-5, Marathonbet) goes into battle against defending champ Agnieszka Radwanska (17-10, 888sport).
There's loads more highlights on a packed Saturday of sport including the likes of rugby, NBA and darts so lets' hear all your tips and chat.

Mitre 10 Cup Final
Canterbury v Tasman (7.25)
With the double blown thought it’d be silly not to have a running bet on the final. I can see Canterbury winning this by a try or two but Tasman do like to score too. Tricky one to call so going with points.

DeMar DeRozan (Toronto Raptors) Over 24.5 Points @ 5/6 @ PP **WIN**
As said whenever my player props lose, they usually land the next game, and that was the case with Lin for Brooklyn who surprisingly downed the Pacers (sorry @raoul-duke). 3 out of 5 but profit to show for my adventures. Well done anyone else with a winner last night.
@jordan no probs man, I didn’t take Pacers in the end, in fact didn’t bet at all. Shame I ddnt trust my instincts on taking Jazz-4 and Under 209, was a winner. That’s the psychological effect of losing on an Under the night before…. ?
Nice work on your props again mate! ?
Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers) Over 24 Points and Rebounds at 5/6 @ PP – 2.4 points
This ‘boy’ (7ft 250lbs at the age of 22) was drafted by Philly as the 3rd overall pick in 2014 but injuries saw him play his first ever NBA game against the Thunder the other night, and he was very impressive. A big man that can dribble and shoot is a player that teams are looking for all around the league now, and they’re building franchises around them..
Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers) Over 36.5 PR&A @ 8/11 @ PP – 2.75 points
Lillard has landed this market in both of his first two games for Portland and I’m going to back him until it fails. PP have upped it by 1 and its still 8/11, but 365 may be a better price later on but could have a higher total.
DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings) Over 36.5 Points and Rebounds @ 5/6 @ PP – 2.4 points
Don’t have to say much about this man. Plenty will know I backed this man a fair bit last season and even without Rondo he’s still getting 36% player usage which is 7th in the NBA over two games.

Oddschecker is down for the NFL so I’m taking this now and will take whatever total is the lowest tomorrow evening. I’ve had my eye on this for weeks since the news of my Packers secondary being dismantled by injuries, and tomorrow night they will face the best receiver in the game in my opinion. Julio Jones is a freak of nature, and in his last four games he is averaging 160.5 yards per game, and that is even with his 29 yard game in Denver three weeks ago. 300 yards against the Panthers four weeks ago is just scary, and what’s worse is that the Packers may be the worst secondary he’s faced this season (he’s played the Saints but was struggling with an injury all week prior). Tevin Coleman is out so Devonta Freeman and Jones should get more targets and touches.
Julio Jones (Atlanta Falcons) Over 107.5 Receiving Yards @ 5/6 @ PP – 4.8 points
Euro Basketball
Turkish BSL
Belediye @ Besiktas (17:00GMT)
Besiktas go into this game off the back of a 3 game week. They won against Partizan in the Champions league 73-84 (38 points in the 1st quarter) and I’d imagine there will be a few tired legs today.
Besiktas have seen all three games in league go under 40 first quarter points. Yesilgiresun lost most recently 61-72 (36 points in first quarter) against Fenerbahce. Both teams won their H2H at home last season with both finishing with 30 and 29 points in first quarters. All-in-all I see todays tie going under 40 points.
1st Quarter Total (Under 40) @ 19/20, Coral – 1.5pts staked.
Good luck!
I’ll get on this, good luck ?

After a bit of a duff start trying to get blood from a stone in the Mitre 10 cup, nice to sniff some winners again. More rugby tomorrow. KBL is on very early so might post some tips later.
My NBA pick for this evening is:
Memphis Grizzlies @ NY Knicks
NY Knicks -2 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 1.5 Points.
I expect this new look Knicks team to get a win on the first home game of the season. Mike Conley and Marc Gasol are both on limited minutes because the Grizzlies play the Wizards at home the following day.
Another angle worth mentioning is the fact that Courtney Lee is a former Grizzlies player, his performance should boost the Knicks overall.
Good luck all.

I’m also on Denver Nuggets -1 @ 1.95 (Bet 365) – 1.5 Points.
Big let down spot for the Blazers.
Look ahead game as they’re playing GSW next, also Denver are very solid at home.
Good luck.
