A CENTURY from Ian Bell has helped England into a commanding position after day one of the first Test with the West Indies.

The tourists look set to top 500 when they resume their first innings on 341-5 on Tuesday and are 4-7 at Bet365 to get the job done and win the opener.

The Windies are now up to 16-1 at Boylesports for the win and will hope to replicate the form that had England worried at 34-3 after Jonathan Trott, Gary Ballance and Alastair Cook all fell cheaply.

At the Monte Carlo Masters tennis Novak Djokovic begins his title bid against Albert Ramos-Vilonas on a busy day of second-round action that includes an eye-catching clash between Fernando Verdasco (6-4, William Hill) against Grigor Dimitrov, who is best price 3-5 at BetVictor.

There's also three NBA matches in the penultimate day of the regular season so good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.

    (Testing if I can post again)

    Don’t know why I couldn’t post on yesterday’s thread … hoping it works now.

    Nice winners Huggy/Jordan/Picksix!
    Couldn’t get on Houston -5.5, but that was nicely spotted Jordan!

    My single was Bucks -1.5 but the site wouldn’t let me post it.

    Great night for the thread again.

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      cheers mate , glad you bagged a winner , we are all gonna start following Orio`s from now on….

      your nba knowledge has blossomed under out tutelage ….

  4. re-invented 9 years ago

    It’s evens for anyone who wants to get over 500 England runs, could be a nice earner considering the current score.Also taking into account they might start slow today after racking up some good runs yesterday you can get England fall of 6th wicket over 368.5 at 3/4, anyone got any opinions on these??

  5. OriaZ 9 years ago

    Haha cheers Huggy!
    Just trying to help out the thread :D

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      Mate , thread is brilliant already , we need more like you , accept the tips for what they are , thanks for winners and accept the losers but know level stakes is long haul stuff… I know a bit but i`m influenced by what you all think , i`m sure jordan has talked me out of a few losers already.

      i`ve also won a few quid off your tips , shotty , picksix and all the others.

      keep posting em mate and keep this the WINNERS!!!! THREAD

  6. huggybear 9 years ago

    off to bed now , but be interested to see the spread in the pacers / wizards game .

    pacers play-off hopes are all about this win , wizards nothing to play for …

    might have a small bet b4 the play-offs

  7. danny 9 years ago

    exceptional shooting by cavaliers, i can see they are well prepared for playoffs

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      DANNY, thats why i chose them as a main bet , many a team been blown away from the fast cavs start.

      hopefully they`ll increase my balance in the play-offs and hopefully a few got on our tips last night…

  8. Attila 9 years ago

    SNOOKER TIPS – Wolrd Championship Qualifiers Round of 32;

    3 Points 4-FOLD:
    – Graeme Dott (Tue & Wed 11am)
    – Mark Davis (Tue & Wed 11am)
    – Kurt Maflin (Tue & Wed 5pm)
    – Robin Hull (Tue & Wed 5pm)

    These are best of 19 frames, so games take a long time to finish. The new format has the doing the 1st 9 frames one day, then the remaining the next day. The 4 selections above got through their qualifying rounds with relative ease and should have too much class over the 19 frames.

    For a Single with value, I think Mitchell Mann may be good for the upset. He pays $4.40 for the win but you can get him on the Handicaps at +2.5 frames which pays $2.36. His opponent McManus is much more experienced and is the deserved favourite, but he’s not in the best form right now whilst Mitch Mann has been playing reay well and I would rate him as fairly equal to McManus at the present meaning the odds on offer are very juicy.

    Good Luck if you follow!

    • Attila 9 years ago

      *BTW – 4-FOLD pays $4.35

    • Attila 9 years ago

      Huggy, wish my bookie had half time spreads cos I wanted to do your Cavs bet & my GSW halftime spread but not on offer… Can get each quarter but not the halves. Hate taking the FT spread now so close to play offs…teams shut down badly in the 4th.

  9. Attila 9 years ago

    Posted Yesterday – GSW -8.0 @ $1.92 ***LOSS***

    Leading by 35+ then went into coast mode, nearly ended up losing. Luckily I cashed out halfway thru the 4th when they were still up by 20 or so. Not like the Warriors to switch off like that btw!

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      Attila it’s a good lesson for all to see though.

      warrior’s losing a fourth 1/4 by 41-18

      so guys cover or cashout , changes in an instant

    • Attila 9 years ago

      (Had that been a month ago I would have lost out. So glad my bookie is the 1st in Aus to offer cash out. Saved me a few times already!)

  10. danny 9 years ago

    huggy, still a tough call between warriors and cavaliers. sometimes warriors go better sometimes cav

  11. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    God knows how the warriors blew that handicap, last time i looked they were 26 up. Madness

  12. Jordan 9 years ago

    Afternoon gents. Just on lunch. Huggy Pacers spread is -7 mate. Or atleast was when I last checked.

  13. Attila 9 years ago

    @ AD – Are you around mate? No Tennis tips from anyone and I was hoping to get on the Monte Carlo matches :-)

  14. Juan 9 years ago

    AD has been very quiet! I posted a treble on Sunday night, 1st two have won waiting on Shvedova today but apart from that nothing catches the eye

  15. Attila 9 years ago

    I’ve just done the following Treble with ‘rushed’ research, so no warranty if it fails :-)

    – F Verdasco
    – M Cilic
    – B Tomic
    TREBLE pays $6.20 (2.5 points)

    Verdasco is great on Clay and beat Nadal only a few weeks ago, whereas Dimitrov has hit some poor form losing to much lesser opponents. Verdasco won their only other meeting on Clay and I think he’ll have too much for Dimitrov today.

    Cilic is a short priced favourite for a reason here today and I think he can handle anything the German throws at hime.

    As for my fellow Aussie, Bernard Tomic, he won the only other h2h on Clay between these 2 by 3-0 and he is in top form lately. He rarely gets beaten by opponents outside of the top 50 so im surprised he is the underdog today. Tomic should win this.

  16. Attila 9 years ago

    If anyone was on early enough to get on my Snooker tips, my $4.50 Single Mitch Mann just fought back from 0-3 to make it 2-3. Hope he keeps it up.
    Davis & Dott in my Treble are both winning atm as well so all looking good so far!

  17. paul 9 years ago

    Lads as in cricket if you look at expected team totals for top teams like cavs rockets warriors etc after game starts n they pull away they are often too low. Ive been doing thia the last month n the ht n ft points are nearly always exceeded. Dont do it for the average sides like magic etc

    Sometimes in the last quarter a team lets up so last night I cashed out of cavs on 93

    As for cricket esp 20/20 n 50odi the same applies. I usually do for big teams between 170 n 190 11/4 n over 190 13/10 in 20/20

    Same in odis 250 to 280 11/4
    Over 280 13/10

  18. Attila 9 years ago

    Not a great start for Verdasco with Dimitrov going a break up early…early days still tho.

  19. danny 9 years ago

    Jordan, -9 on pacers @365

  20. Attila 9 years ago

    Christ, Verdasco had 3 break points and just couldnt get it, argh

  21. Jordan 9 years ago

    Afternoon all. No SS tonight. I like the Pacers at home as they need to keep their hopes alive by finishing with a better record than the Nets but Washington have a big game against Cleveland tomorrow for seeds so may rest players.

    Small stake on this.

    Pacers -2.5 & Over 184 Total Points @ 4/5 @ 365

  22. Attila 9 years ago

    Think you are right Jordan… Very wary taking big spreads at this time.
    Im actually liking the Over 208.0 total points for Raptors/Celtics match. And you know I hate the OVers just as much as you hate the Unders, lol.

  23. Attila 9 years ago

    Dimitrov has saved 8 break points in this set.. Verdasco keeps getting set point. Nail biting stuff!

  24. Attila 9 years ago

    VERDASCO BREAKS HIM FINALLY at the 10th Break Point! 1-1 now, going to a 3rd set, an upset on the cards :-)

  25. Mr Fishman 9 years ago

    hi attila you method of the free bet365 is wrong so dont do it :)
    you will lose unless its a draw

  26. Attila 9 years ago

    Fishman I never posted anything about Bet365 free bet? Think you’ve got the wrong person mate, i dont even have a Bet365 account, lol

    • Mr Fishman 9 years ago

      good someone with the same name posted a stupid bet today didnt want you to lose money

  27. Attila 9 years ago

    Tomic has just dropped from $2.10 to $1.65 in the last hour…wow.
    I thought the bookies had it wrong by having him as underdog against a lesser opponent.

  28. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    The Pacers winning margin between 1-10 of odds at 7/5 looks good to me with pad d ypower. What do you think guys?

  29. punterpounder 9 years ago

    tennis treble

    cillic 2/5

    puig 1/5

    a.gonzalez 2/9

    treble pays 1.05/1 @bet365

  30. Attila 9 years ago

    Great, same name as me posting rubbish, lol.

  31. Attila 9 years ago

    Verdasco gets beaten…just. Another 8 break points saved by Dimitrov. Relentless pressure by Verdasco… So close! Thats my Treble down :-( Awesome match to watch tho.

  32. huggybear 9 years ago

    slim pickings tonight so small stakes for me , just gonna try and stay with pacers needing the win.

    Huggy`s only bet

    pacers ova 186 with the -3.5 on the spread

    pays 1.21/1

    sticking a tenner on the ht spread too , with pacers -4 and hoping wall doesn`t see the court for the wizards…

    saving the coffers for playoffs , good luck guys.

    where we all playing tonight with just the 3 games

  33. Jordan 9 years ago

    Haha Huggy have you not seen my bet? Great minds.

  34. Jordan 9 years ago

    Mine now pays EVS as the Pacer spread down to -7. Not fussed. Like you say save for the playoffs, or the 14 games tomorrow :P

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      mate not chasing a bet when one don`t stand ( ie houston yesterday ) always seems to bite you and end up apologizing a lot.

      just 2 small bets to pass time in work and have a go tomorrow on the bigger card.

      catch u tomorrow mate

  35. punterpounder 9 years ago

    my tennis treble looks good :) short odds I know but evens return is better than no return

  36. punterpounder 9 years ago

    cillic in trouble 2nd set

  37. thereddevils 9 years ago

    Tennis live

    Puig should win the second set, but it’s only @1.15.
    I backed her to win the first set @1.20 and she wins it easily 6- 2.
    So if you want free money, go for it!

  38. Ket 9 years ago

    Thanks for the cavs ht huggy.

    Been doing quite well on the ipl lately so thought i may aswell share my tips.

    Anyone fancy Monaco to beat Stan @ 21/10? Stan being the defending champ is all putting me off. Stan wobbly recently and Monacos show top form

  44. thereddevils 9 years ago

  46. mitchymitch 9 years ago

    Brilliant stuff again lads!

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      wat was you on mitch ??

  47. OriaZ 9 years ago

    Smaller card and smaller stakes today.

    Single: Celtics +1.5 at home against the Raptors @ 10/11

    Will be a close game as Celtics will want to secure a playoff spot and Raptors want to improve their playoff position. I’m going for the home team advantage as the Celtics have been playing their best basketball lately.

    Double:
    – Pacers -4.5
    – Clippers/Suns over 196.5

    @ just over evens.

    GL tonight!

  48. Picksix 9 years ago

    F*uck me that raptors spread changed

    Hadn’t had a chance to have a decent look today but I know they were +4 last night

  49. Picksix 9 years ago

    Going half time full time on the pacers tonight not to much appeal on the price but nothing else stands out to me

    Indiana Pacers ht/ft @ 10/13

  50. Juan 9 years ago

    AD – good to have you back how’s your luck been? Monaco been in top form could be worth an interest at decent odds, i was thinking of a Monfils Federer Berdych treble at around Evs?

  51. Picksix 9 years ago

    Small funbet

    Raptors ht celtics ft @ 9/2

  52. Attila 9 years ago

    Simple NBA Treble for me today:

    – Raptors/Celtics Over 197.5
    – Pacers ML
    – Clippers ML
    @ $1.93 (10 points)

    Can’t see this losing tbh, but it is nba so anything possible!

  53. Jordan 9 years ago

    Picksix re Raptors I know mate but that game is basically an exhibition for Boston but Toronto could go above Chicago for a 3rd seed if they win so probably why they are now favs. Clippers game changed too but don’t think they can their seed whatever results they get.

    Lets go Pacers!

  54. Jordan 9 years ago

    Picksix your gravatar isn’t a pick tut tut :D May I suggest Brent Grimes’ one handed pick against the Lions?

  55. Picksix 9 years ago

    I know lol u gotta love that catch tho I have loads of gravatars of picks and catches that grimes one tho was quality quite simulair to Odell’s catch running backwards

    U like my Troy polamalu one the legends finally retired

    And Ye go pacers lol

  56. Jordan 9 years ago

    Yeah the hair piece should go into the hof let alone Troy himself. Amazing catch mate, watched it live and lost my sh*t haha, might have to get an NFL one up myself when the football finishes but it will be none other than a Packers related one :)

  57. Shotty 9 years ago

    Pacers over 52.5 half time team points is my bet for tonight although its slim pickings im only sticking a small stake on this pays evens @SkyBet

  58. Picksix 9 years ago

    Haha I know mate can’t wait til it starts

    U remember this one big moment

  59. Picksix 9 years ago

    Aw my gravatar not changing Jordan u a packers fan

  60. Jordan 9 years ago

    Yes mate. Only started following last season though so I’ve not got any A-Rod tattoos, yet…

  61. Picksix 9 years ago

    Tracy porter picking of Peyton manning for a touchdown in Super Bowl

    I’m a Hawks fan

  62. Jordan 9 years ago

    Ahhh my good friend honda will be pleased to see he has another Seahawks fan on here. Some game that NFC Championship. Lucky sods ;)

  63. Attila 9 years ago

    Why are the Wizards going all out? There is nothing in this game for them?!

  64. paul 9 years ago

    Brutal stuff n raptors now hv 1 point in past 7 minutes after 63 in 27 mins very odd

  65. Attila 9 years ago

    Hoping for a draw so this game goes to OT to bring up the over 197 points

  66. Attila 9 years ago

    Much better from the Pacers after halftime. Home court advantage should get em home?

  67. Picksix 9 years ago

    Pacers ht/ft @ 10/13 **LOSE**

    Raptors ht/celtics ft @ 9/2 ** WON**

    Still a bit of profit but gutted I missed the raptors + 4 tbh aw well was always on small stakes tonight as everyone else seemed to be aswell on such a small card

    Roll on tomorow $$$

  68. Attila 9 years ago

    So much for the Pacers win being a gimme. Still don’t know why Wizards are goin so hard, no rest for their stars yet.

  69. Jordan 9 years ago

    Wtf? Set my alarm for the end of the Pacers game to see a f*cking football score with less than 10 points in OT? Well can’t see the bet winning but it’s still going. Just thought I’d say I’m getting on the Spurs -5 in New Orleans tomorrow night. Will be battling it out all the way with Houston/Clippers for second seed.

    Spurs -5 @ 10/11 @ PP

  70. Jordan 9 years ago

    Maybe it will win :D

    Small stake on this.

    Pacers -2.5 & Over 184 Total Points @ 4/5 @ 365 **WIN**

  71. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    over 10.5 corners in the Madrid game and over 182.5 points in the Pacers game @ 6/5

    The Pacers winning margin between 1-10 of odds at 7/5 looks good to me with pad d ypower. What do you think guys?

    Double WIN, sweet :D

  72. Jordan 9 years ago

    Wheeey a winner for Alty! Well done mate.

  73. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    I know i can’t believe it, thought it was lost a long time ago..No moaning today haha. To be fair though they were based on your tip so thanks

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      alty that`s the way to play it , use our thoughts to create your bets , you`ll get more winners than losers , limited card and still winners posted by jordan , me and a 9/2 from picksix…..

  74. Jordan 9 years ago

    No worries mate glad you got a couple winners.
