BRITAIN begin their bid for a second Davis Cup tennis title in three years today with a first-round tie against Canada in Ottawa.

Both sides are without their star man – Andy Murray and Milos Raonic – and the Brits are just 2-9 at bet365 to beat a Canadian team chalked up at 3-1 and who don't have a singles player in the world's top 100.

Dan Evans gets the action under way today and is just 1-5 at bet365 for the win and 10-11 to do so without dropping a set against 17-year-old Denis Shapovalov, who is 10-3 at bet365 for a surprise victory.

Holders Italy face a tough opening against Italy and the day's other match-ups include Novak Djokovic's Serbia versus Russia and USA against Switzerland.

There's also the likes of snooker and rugby worth a flutter so let's hear all your tips and chat and Jordan will add his NBA picks below.

    Tonight’s NBA:

    Wizards -7.5
    Spurs over 106.5

    **LOST**

    Wizards won by 8 but unfortunately the 76ers never really threatened the Spurs.

    Long shot also lost so poor night all round on a rotten card!

    Week : 3-2
    Season : 3-2

    Danish Basketligaen

    Horsens entertain Bakken Bears later today. These two are big rivals and for years have contested the Basketligaen. It’s often difficult to pick the winner when these two meet and more often that not, the advantage lies with the home team.
    Horsens currently top the league with 16-2 and Bakken are 13-2 with 3 games in hand. At home Horsens are 8-1 with Bakken 6-2 away from home. Horsens have played two games already this season at home against Bakken and won them both – Horsens vs Bakken Bears 104-98 and 90-89, in addition, Horsens won the last 5 games played at home against Bakken.
    I think Horsens should be favourites here so the odds are generous.

    Bakken Bears @ Horsens (17:20GMT)

    Money Line: Horsens @ 6/5, Bet365 – 1.5pts staked. ***WIN*** ✔

    Good luck!

    ————————————

    As expected, nothing much between these two but Horsens pulled away in the 3rd and held on!

    Euro Basketball Fourfold

    CSKA @ Fenerbahce (17:45GMT)

    Olympiakos @ Kazan (16:00GMT)

    Money Line: Kazan ❌

    Darussafaka @ Milano (19:45GMT)

    Total Points: Over (165.5) ❌

    Fourfold @ 15/1, Coral – 1pt staked.

    Good luck!

    ————————————-

    My form on the Euroleague has been nothing short of abysmal, such a difficult competition to pick winners. Might have to steer clear for a while.
    On a side note, Olympiakos had one of the best 1st quarters I’ve seen in this competition. Think they sank about 9 from 9 triples in the opening 12 minutes.

    Good Morning all!

    A couple of Six Nations bets for tomorrow/overall: (bet365)

    Scotland v Ireland : Ireland Over 21.5 Team Points @1.8 **NAP**

    Scotland have been the talk of the town as the dark horse of this tournament, and i would agree. However, Ireland are no joke. Despite Sexton being out, Ireland play great fast-paced attacking rugby and have enough depth to cross the line. I feel over 21.5 is low enough to have this as my NAP.

    England v France: France Over 14.5 Team Points @1.8 *NB*

    England SHOULD win. However, i feel as though we are going to severely miss the Vunipola brothers tomorrow. I rate Hartley as a Captain, and i’m over the moon we have Itoje back, but i still feel as though there will be a gap in our game. As a result, i think this match will begin a tight affair with both teams wanting points early on. I’ve always seen France as a bogey team, as you never know how they are going to play. However, i am confident they can cover a mere 15 points. A few penalties (Eng love giving away pens) and a try or two should see this covered.

    6 NATIONS PUNT WITH SKYBET (RAB)

    Exact finishing order – 1st England, 2nd Ireland, 3rd Scotland, 4th Wales, 5th France, 6th Italy

    Odds of 18/1. Worth £10 or so i reckon.

    GL all. I may put some bets out for tonight’s matches but haven’t had time to look properly yet.

    • Avatar of Rob Jansen
      baggio 8 years ago

      Brave going with the Ireland total mate. For sure they play some great expansive rugby but the Scots have been looking strong recently. The game v Aus in autumn was a classic example and the players from Glasgow are flying. I may well be proved wrong and Ireland win convincingly but think Scotland could do a job on them. GL with your bets.

    • Avatar of Jack Williams
      williams1993 8 years ago

      I hope Scotland win! It will be refreshing to have them battling at the top for once. I don’ know, call it a gut feeling but i’m confident that Ireland will sort me out tomorrow :)

      Any bets for tonight’s matches? Bit weary of them in light of international duties but may have a little flutter if something catches my eye. I think Edinburgh v Munster will be a close match – I’ve seen Munster have made a ton of changes! Maybe points are the way to go for that one.

      GL mate

    • Avatar of Rob Jansen
      baggio 8 years ago

      11 changes is rather a lot. Edinburgh have changed 6. Tough one to call so points could be worth looking at. Seen the spread for the Saints v Scarlets match? Scarlets are playing their youngsters and Saints their seniors. Might be some value

    Much better NBA card tonight, I have 2 leans so far this morning. First one:

    Raptors -3.5.

    Seriously, great line. Raps will be looking to get revenge over that loss at home on Sunday. The Raptors actually outscored Magic in every quarter apart from the 2nd.

    Status on DeRozan is unclear atm, but Raps looks good value here.

    I have a few ‘go to’ teams for 1st Half unders which include Helsinki Seagulls. Today they entertain Kataja. When these two met earlier this season 73 points was the 1st half score. I have made this bet on numerous occasions when Helsinki play at home, and their last 5 matches have all gone under the given line.

    Kataja @ Helsinki Seagulls (16:30GMT)

    1st Half Total: Under (81) @ 5/6, Coral – 1.6pts staked.

    NBA prop bets for tonight…

    Al horford (Celtics) over 15.5 points skybet 5/6 (NAP)

    Yesterday I mentioned gortat to have a big game against lakers as they always get destroyed by good centre players..and was gutted I didn’t back him as he hit 21 smashing his over 13.5 lines… al horford turn to face the lakers and again I think he will dominate the paint against the poor lakers..could scrape it with 17,18 points tonight.

    Cousins 30+ points and kings win..
    7/5 PP (NB)

    Last game Cousins had a poor Scoring night in Houston with only 16.. I expect “boogie” to bounce bk tonight and produce another 30+ Monster display against the suns ..not many in the NBA can defend cousins and I don’t see any player in the suns team that can stop him..his averages at the moment is ridiculously good and with gay sidelined he been having more shots…on top of that kings will be motivated to win and should return to winning ways …

    good luck everyone..

    I was hoping to get onto Boston’s team total but it’s a tad high for my liking. Whilst they should beat the Lakers, I worry about them getting ahead early and taking their foot off the pedal.

    Michigan Chippewas entertain Western Michigan Broncos in what the bookies believe will be a high scoring game, but the line looks inflated to me! Both teams usually have a great offense but not so hot on their defense. I believe this will be quite a close contest and don’t envisage both teams trading Baskets for the entire match. One low scoring quarter should keep this under.

    Western Michigan Broncos @ Michigan Chippewas (22:30GMT)

    Short reasoning:

    Two big reasons I like Thunder tonight.. 1 – they’re coming off a big 28 point loss.

    2 – revenge. 34 point loss against the Grizzlies end of December.
