THE predicted dominance of Mercedes was proved on the opening day of the new Formula One season and William Hill are now 1-14 that the Constructors is retained by the team.
Despite losing in Melbourne to team-mate Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton is 4-7 to win the drivers’ championship and 4-5 to win the Bahrain GP.
In tonight's NBA action, the nine-match card includes reigning champs Golden State Warriors aiming to bounce back from a rare defeat to San Antonio Spurs when they travel to Minnesota Timberwolves.
There's also a T20 cricket World Cup clash between Australia and Bangladesh plus some rugby league action from Down Under.
Jordan will post his NBA tips below and as usual let's hear all your own picks and chat.
William Hill's F1 odds
Bahrain GP: 4/5 Hamilton, 2/1 Rosberg, 5/1 Vettel, 20/1 Raikkonen
F1 Drivers’ Championship: 4/7 Hamilton, 9/4 Rosberg, 9/2 Vettel, 40/1 Raikkonen, 80/1 Ricciardo, 100/1 Alonso, 150/1 Bar
Constructors: 1/14 Mercedes, 6/1 Ferrari, 50/1 Red Bull

Treble @ 2.08 (Bet 365) – 1.5 Points. – *LOST*
Mixed night.
Well done to the winners.
Logic doesn’t always prevail in the world of betting, especially in the NBA. A perfect example would be the Pelicans beating LA Clippers last night, despite their injury problems. Nobody gave Pelicans a chance to cover, let alone win outright.
But we must attach some sort of logic to our bets, and you’ll struggle to find a bet across the board thats more logically sound than this one (except perhaps Warriors ML :P).
Milwaukee Bucks @ Detroit Pistons.
It’s crunch time, and the Pistons need to continue to pile the pressure on the Bulls. The schedule has been very kind to them, as tonight is their 4th of 9 straight home games. A good run of results here is soo important.
Milwaukee Bucks are on a b2b having failed to win at home against Utah Jazz; Bucks record on the road is poor 9-26 (25.7%).
Pistons as home favourite are 16-6 (72.7%) and if anyone’s remotely concerned by the -7 spread… Pistons are 6-0-1 (the 1 is a push) as a -7 or more favourite.
H2h’s strongly favour the Pistons too, Milwaukee have only registered 1 win in Detroit in the last 10 games going back to 2014. It’s a must win game for the Pistons, and they should cover the 7 points too.
Detroit Pistons -7 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 2 Points.
Good luck.
Cycling: Tour of Catalunya 2016 (21-27 March)
A week of cycling in Catalunya. I like these match-ups for the general classification.
Van Garderen to beat Pozzovivo
Zakarin to beat Gesink
Double @ 2.40 wih 888
Nothing that I like for stage 1. Too many question marks for this stage.
Chicago Bulls -2.5
SA Spurs (ML)
Double @ Evens (Bet 365) – 1.5 Points.
Taking Bulls here for exactly the same reason as Pistons. Kings are on a b2b and Bulls need the win. Only difference is Bulls haven’t been as consistent at covering spreads at -7 (or more) so im teasing it down to -2.5.
Spurs ML kind of speaks for itself. It would take a very brave (or stupid) person to take Hornets ML in this spot… Spurs are only 3 games behind the Warriors now, and still play them twice. Hornets have failed to beat Spurs going back as far as 2010.
Good luck.
1 out of 2 last night for a small loss. Pelicans despite being hobbled with injury win outright even as double digit dogs, but the Kings managed to pull off the win in New York and cover. Fiver lost on the evening.
Clippers -9 @ 4/5 @ Marathon – 2.5 points **LOSE**
Kings -4 @ 10/13 @ Betway – 2.6 points **WIN**
Well done to any winners.
Faried (Nuggets) OUT, Kevin Love dealing with a possible back injury. Cavs were humbled by the Heat last time out while the Nuggets won an upset in Charlotte with Kemba Walker going missing. Cavs in a bounce back spot tonight even if Love can’t play.
Speaking of bounce backs, the Warriors took their 7th loss in Texas on Saturday and the Bulls record is slowly going out of reach. They need to keep winning games anyway as the Spurs are right on their tail. Have won 13 of the last 14 between these two.
Buck son b2b in Detroit who need to keep winning, especially conference and division games as they are only 0.01% behind Chicago, and 0.08% behind Indiana in the standings. Although both sides mentioned could and should win their games tonight with the Pacers at home to the 76ers, and Bulls at home to the Kings on b2b.
Cavs -4
Warriors -4
Pistons ML
Shade under 11/10 @ 365 (1.07/1) – 2 points

Don’t jinx it Raoul mate haha, good luck bud. I’m a bit sketchy on the Pistons but we’ll see.
Will be on Jordan again thanks to you Jordan raoul huggy hunter giving me a insight to a sport I wouldn’t normally bet on in basketball keep up the good work I for one appreciate all your research
Appreciate the acknowledgement sir. ✌
Fingers crossed for a good night!
Nice one mate. Only 38 days to go till the NFL draft :)
Time flies only38 til draft wonderin were wentz ,bosa, and tunsil will go maybe for another day Jordan but any thoughts
Too early to say for me mate.Tennessee need a pass rusher, defensive back and somebody to keep Mariota upright. Talk on RGIII going to the Browns so maybe a QB won’t go until the Cowboys who should be looking for a future after Romo, or until he’s injured again.
thx mate something to look forward too
HUGGYS NBA PICK
hatrick landed , lets go for four
(grizzlies -2 / hawks -6.5 / spurs game over 199 / philly +15 / pistons -7)
main 7.5 single HAWKS -6.5
7.5 double adding GRIZZLIES -2
double pays 2.72/1
good luck guys if you follow
Good luck man, I like Grizzlies tonight too.
Was thinking about making them a single………
I nearly took the Suns on the ML. Think Randolph is back for Memphis but other than that they are still hurting. Spread is that low for a reason I suppose. Like the Hawks, just not enough for the spread. Good luck huggy.
Down to half stakes ( loads riding on steph and the gang )
Hopefully we have WINNERS everywhere
