BRITAIN need just a point on Sunday to clinch Davis Cup victory over the USA and Andy Murray is hot favourite to get it in the opening singles match against John Isner.
The Yanks won an epic doubles five-setter on Saturday to leave them trailing 2-1 overall but they look doomed with Murray just 1-12 at William Hill to net the win needed against an opponent he's never lost to and who is 19-2 at BetVictor.
All three previous Murray v Isner matches have featured a tiebreak and it's 8-15 at Skybet for that trend to continue today.
At the Cricket World Cup, England have no room for error when they take on Bangladesh at 3.30am Tuesday morning. Eoin Morgan's men have already been hammered by Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka and another defeat tonight would end their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals.
England are 1-3 at Stanjames to eke out a victory while Bangladesh are 3-1 at Totesport.
The UK Open darts reaches a conclusion at Minehead today and first up is the quarter-finals with Phil Taylor v Peter Wright the pick of the ties.
Also on the sporting agenda is the likes of golf, rugby union, rugby league and NBA action so post your tips and chat here and good luck if you're having a bet.
Jordan/Huggy combined SS. Cavs/Suns Under 212. Scrapes it by 44 points :D 3 in a row for the tag team!
Asked Huggy to put up my NB which was Timberwolves/Blazers Over 199.5. 201 with 2 minutes left :D
Timberwolves/Blazers over 199.5 with another close one. 234 total points :D
A successful nights work.
I shopped around and found Heat -4.5 @ 1.94
So happy days, thats 2 days out of 3 that the 0.5 point has saved me.
Got on the Cav unders aswell.
Pitty it only pays for what i lost on the darts !

Main bet lost so very disappointed. I thought McCullum would have tried to hit every ball for 6 when only chasing 186
Did you say you fancied Vesley today Ad in Davis Cup?
Thanks for ss lads. Had 100 on it
No Ernie, I said the opposite in fact. Kokkinakis is odds against and I cant ignore that
Morning Ad any bets on Wozniacki you like? Thanks
well done all you that took the ss which was (as jordan stated earlier) in the bag by half time…
JORDAN in an email stated that the pro tipped ova 212 , shows what they know and the power of stats.
post tonights after chatting with my mate later. try and keep this run profitable

Interestingly Bolelli and GOlubev have been replaced by Fognini and Nesovyesov respectively in the deciding Davis cup rubber between Italy and Khasakstan. It’s on an indoor hard court in Khazakstan. Worth keeping an eye on to see what the vibe is. Can go one of two ways with Fognini!
It’s raining again in Kuala Lumpur… They stopped at break point for Dulgheru (40-ADV). Worth backing Wozniacki to win the game @2.16?
Dno mate, it’s a bit of a coin toss. Id probably expect her to hold, but all it takes is a missed first serve and Dulgheru is favourite. Woz likes a double every now and then too and coming back to serve after a break isn’t always easy.

Warrington v hull kr
Two try scorer bets for me today
Ken sio 7/5 for hull kr
Chris bridge 7/5 for Warrington
Kevin sio was prolific at parametta and has had big impact on hull kr this season with 3 tries in 3 games. I’d expect Warrington to run in a fair few tries this afternoon 6 or 7 so Chris bridge at centre will have his chance to bag one
Harry hope root gets a 50 or more as I have him as englands leading tournament batsman think hes level on 173 runs so far with moeen ali. He was 7/2
How do I cover that bet
Mcculum was trying to smash it about Harry and got out the ball after hitting a six

Barrere nearly dig it again. I couldn’t follow in play to make what would have been a decent win on him, but luckily I had him on handicaps and on the match to go over games as well. Big week form him, I’ll be keeping my eyes on him.
VP I’m surprised they didn’t try to do what they did to England, considering McCullum’s aggressive captaincy style I thought he’d have them all doing it.
Paul the problem is I think they’re both only 30 runs ahead of bell and Taylor and considering how bad the Bangladesh attack has been it’s almost impossible to cover at this point. if it were just Ali and root out ahead, the obvious cover would be to back Ali as top run scorer, but bell or Taylor could easily get a 150 tonight and change everything. I personally would wait until tomorrow and reassess it Because if he gets a big score it should be easier to cover
Jordan/Atilla/Huggy any bets for early games please? thanks

New to the site, anyone know how i can get a picture by my name?
Tip on the darts tonight.
Wright over 3.5 180s 4/5.
He’s been playing well with these new darts and the pace of this game should suit him.
Always use sky bet as i find it the easiest app to navigate.

NO mac I was at work until four and fancied the Under but I wasn’t entirely sure. Still have doubts on anything for tonight in all fairness. Deciding things with the Huggybear. These things must not be rushed :)

Ad…I watched the match! Barrere was superb again, but you know … lack of experiences and experiences…
in 3rd set he had many chances to break, but wasnt playing smart, he attacked instead of waiting for an opponent error..pity! he had 0-40 aswell and nothing…
And that Paire guy had just pure luck to break at 4-4, it was a lucky net cord and one lucky winner…
anyway, he is on my watchlist :)
AH thats gutting Puma. Sounds like a knife edge. Would’ve had a nice payday had it just gone the other way. But id’ve ripped my hair out watching no doubt.
jordan not keen on anything tonight , so I’m gonna have a small bet on okc -6 hone 2 raptors..

Watched the Australia vs Sri Lanka last nite and it was brilliant to see Maxwell in such cracking form, I thought losing both Clarke and Smith in same over would surely slow the run rate down but it did the complete opposite. Was more than happy to see Australia clock up 46 boundaries before I went to bed, knew the bet then was a sure thing, still personally think Australia winning toss and electing to bat was crucial in this game. Pity I only elected to go half stakes :(

FFS. Big write up on why I think the Toronto/OKC will go Under but it’s not letting me post so no SS, but I’m having a small bet on Under 213 @ Various.
10/11 @ Various
Jordan- what dyu reckon’s gna happen in the big FA cup game tomorrow? I’m gna say our best from this season will beat yours but that’s unlikely to happen. We couldn’t beat you at our place and not sure we’ll be any better away. Can’t see it being a great match to be honest. Hope I’m wrong!
I think BTTS and over 2.5 but calling a winner is almost impossible for me Ad. Both teams will score I am certain of that.
One thing is for certain Ad I’m watching it with a group of mates. Probably 60/40 United to Gooners so I’ll be banjaxed by HT :D
hmm, not sure about BTTS myself. The way united have been playing from an offensive point of view, and the way Arsenal often struggle to breakdown well drilled teams, I wouldn’t be that surprised if it was a 0-0!
Go United!
My NBA bet will be Jazz +5,5 because they are in fine form.
hawks screwed me last night for hundreds :(
hopefully make it back on the oklahoma handicap tonight
raptors are decent so im hesitant to go -6

Currently watching Souza v Mayer move very, very slowly towards their 8th hour of tennis and Im looking ahead to Tuesday. Souza is due to play Samper-Montana in Chile and there’s just no way he’s going to have recovered in time. He had a 5 set match on friday as well and it will all take its toll. He may well withdraw, which would see the stake returned, but if he turns up i plan to be on the other guy. 15/8 is the current best price on Samper Montana with PP. The only downside with that is they only pay out if a whole match is completed, and there has to be a decent chance of Souza retiring if he goes a set down (there also has to be a decent chance he will retire even if he’s winning!) For that reason i’m backing him with b e tfair who will pay out @ 6/4 if there is a retirement after a set has been completed.
2-0 Samper Montana is just under 4/1 w b etfair and I’m taking that too.
Wright over 3.5 180s breezed in. Nice 4/5 winner :) well done bullseye was on gilding over 2.5 as that was a steal.
For the final im on over 9.5 180s 4/6.
Also took wright at 5/1 before the semis so im hoping he continues his form
Small bet on Mavericks -7.5 at home against the Lakers. (10/11)
Also on Jordan and Huggy’s picks.
An a “safer” trebble of
– OKC/Raptors Under 225.5
– Mavericks ML
– Celtics +7.5
(1.02/1)
Kyle it was as easy as it gets, Australia hit 46 and Sri Lanka hit 36. Gonna have another look through England game in a minute as there weren’t many good markets open this morning
Decided on these three bets tonight for the cricket against a below par Bangladesh Bowling Attack:
England vs Bangladesh
Team of Top Batsmen
England
8/13
PaddyPower (Mid Stakes)
Moeen Ali
Over 32.5 runs
Evens
Coral (Low Stake)
Joe Root
Over 31.5 runs

Ladbrokes (Low Stake)
Jordan if you happen to be awake between 3.30am and 10am you should check in on the England Bangladesh cricket odds. As I know you’ve backed England to be eliminated at group stage and tonight’s game is effectively the decider as to who goes through. If Bangladesh are dominating at any stage then you can basically cover your bet by finding England to win at decent odds in play. They’re 2/7 to win this game alone so can’t cover yet but in play cricket odds change vastly in a matter of minutes
Harry I don’t think I will be mate as work at 8 but may set an alarm. Thanks for posting I was wondering when the decider was!
NBA/NHL double
Toronto/OKC Under 217 – inspired by Jordan
Minnesota Wild ML
1.15/1 @ various
(Record: 1 bet – 0 win, 1 loss)
No worries mate just check the scores and odds when you wake up. If England to win gets to a decent price at any point then it should safely cover you. It probably won’t finish til 10/11 anyway
Cobb signs new contract for the Packers ;)
A heafty contract at that honda! Better to keep him than let him go though. Knows the offense already, and still have Nelson and Adams. Still adamant on my Packers pre season bets haha, the division prices are out. Packers 1/2 to win :(
thoughts on ??
nets -1.5
Dallas ML
OKC ML
Over 9.5 match 180s 4/6 – win.
No time for a proper write up but tonight’s game is effectively two teams who have been fairly rubbish with the ball but decent with the bat. Also the adelaide oval is arguably Australia’s best batting ground with short boundaries square of the wicket. I can also see the explosive Alex hales coming in at 3 in place of the out of form Gary ballance which should help.
England v Bangladesh
Total 6’s – over 7.5

Thanks harry for advice
Did your eng bang trick for ireland n made lots wudda been more but chickened. You can use that trick too on indian premier league cricket . Has a very high rate
SO eng to fially arrive at wc tonight n post 400 if batting first ….nah
ID say 365 and 249 for bang
If second 252 to 249
Well see
Cmonnnn rooot
Il be on harry, hopefully buttler gets 5-10 overs
Paul I was travelling at the time so couldn’t keep up to date with it but I agree cricket is a great sport for in play betting if you’re watching it and seeing what’s going on as the odds swing massively. I did pretty well off the Ireland UAE game and got on Ireland at 5/1 just before big kev came to the party. I’m going to bed now so I can get up at 3.30 and watch it. Good luck all
Played Bullseye especially the Wright bet
Frank Gore and Byron Maxwell to sign for the Eagles this week. Heck!
Chief, Cobbs contract is pricey but it’s nowhere near Suh’s. $114 million over 6 years!
Think packers contributed 100m of Suh contract to stop him stomping on Rodgers leg mate :)
Hahaha I’m sure they’ve made a contribution but they’ll be lucky if they can pay for bog roll in the Lambeau now
Chief I will find who your NFL team is by the end of next season but you have to at least give me the conference haha
Gore for McCoy I know a philly fan and he is not happy. He loved Fraction Jackson and if Macklin goes I think he may turn a redskin fan :)
I think nailed on cert 3 WRs are coming out the draft in the top 20, probably in the first 10, depending on what teams decide to trade up and make a move.
Oh 100%, that Kevin White will be taking some of my money this year. Scouts comparing him to Fitzgerald but much faster!
If I could put money on the first receiver out the draft it would be him.
Hmm not sure if you’d want to trade being an Eagles fan for a Redskin haha, RG3 needs to kick on otherwise he could be the next Tebow!
I’m sure there’s a team in NFL with nickname Chiefs so it’s probably them
Haha no not the Kansas City Chiefs VP. Their cheerleaders are quite special but they’re not overly worth the support. Plus I’ve seen the chief post bets on them which he doesn’t on his own team, but it was a good try mate.
Was worth a go
Actually it must be the Tennessee Titans. Never see him tip them :D hahaha
The only bets I looked for on NFL were your long accumulators after you got that big accumulator so I wouldn’t know what his were. Could go through every team until he confirms but probably won’t work
Not that you’d want to take that time lol
Haha I don’t think he’d tell us anyway VP! Hopefully more of those accumulators to come when the new season starts mate.
Hopefully they win as well
1 second left with a Toronto timeout. Total sitting on 212!
Whoa! OKC/Toronto Under 213 @ 10/11 **WIN** 212 haha
what island do you live on mr jordan
Jordan – that was close but great call mate. Sadly I missed the footie today as I was out so one bet on the BB means 100% profit thanks to your super single.
I love US sports! :o)
Guernsey mate, lovely little island in the English Channel.
loads of crime there judging by the arrests that john nettles look alike Bergerac used to make….
Haha Jasper, if a tree falls down and blocks a road overnight it’s the front page of our local newspaper the next morning. It’s as boring as it gets.
The Bergerac series was set in Jersey, not Guernsey.
Thanks Pete wasn’t quite a SS tonight as I wasn’t overly confident and 1 point perhaps makes the come true, but a win is a win. Me and Huggy are on 3 of 3 on the combined SS and will be back with one tomorrow night. Well done mate.
Looked at it on Google maps and it’s basically in France and you were right when you said little
VP on a clear day we can see France mate. All English speaking but our road names are in French weirdly enough. Very small. 60,000 population. Can drive round it in about 45 minutes (depending on how fast over the 35mph speed limit you go haha).
It looks like a 10 minute swim so I’m not surprised. That’s interesting though, so there’s no French speaking population then
Nope, back in the day like a century or so we used to have Guernsey-French but it died out and is only used by certain old folk but apart from that everyone speaks English. Not quite a swim but an or or so ferry to St Malo, France. Occupied in World War II by the Germans for 5 years so loads of bunkers/turrets etc which is pretty cool. Have our own pound currency but take all English and Scottish notes (no Euro’s) don’t pay VAT. Has it’s benefits but has it’s problems. I will unfortunately never be able to afford a house. A two bedroom apartment you’re looking at close to £300,000…
Hour or so ferry*
Even have £1 notes :)
Didn’t know there was even such a thing as one pound notes. The place sounds so interesting and different I want to see it and Ive only just found out where it is. No VAT is sweet as well. And there’s always the lottery which I’m guessing you do have or big winning bet always worth a pound on huge odds accumulator
Didn’t think places would be so expensive there though
VP it’s one of the safest places on earth for crime. Rarely ever any stabbings or anything like that (a friend of mine at the time murdered somebody I knew in 2006 and that was the only serious violent crime I know of and I’m 26). Craig Rouget his name. Sad really but other than that it’s a pretty safe place. I’d recommend a summer holiday to anybody who wanted to come and chill out on nice beaches and have a good night out in our town.
I’m off to bed anyway mate but glad to inform you of my island. Have a read up of it it is a really interesting place especially if you like things on the war. Night VP.
