ROGER FEDERER and defending champ Stan Wawrinka tumbled out of the Monte Carlo Masters yesterday and Friday serves up more giant-killing attempts.
Tournament favourite Novak Djokovic is just 1-16 against current US Open champ Marin Cilic who is as high as 12-1 at bet365 to stun the world No.1.
In the all-Spanish quarter-final king of clay Rafa Nadal is 4-11 at BetVictor to beat David Ferrer, who dumped Nadal out in straight sets last year and is 11-4 at Boylesports to repeat the feat.
The first quarter-final on court is Tomas Berdych versus Milos Raonic and Grigor Dimitor completes the line-up against Gael Monfils.
Elsewhere there's the likes of Test cricket, Super League and practice sessions at Formula One's Bahrain Grand Prix where Lewis Hamilton is 1-2 favourite at Skybet for victory in Sunday's race.
Good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.

#worth a shot
Anyone on Berbytch?
Am on Monfils Capone do you fancy his chances?
Juan I’m on monfils as well, after him dispatching of Federer yesterday the way he did the odds were more than generous. Dmitrov beat wawrinka fair play but Stan looked unhealthy and sluggish. The only thing that worried me is the only time dmitrov beat monfils was on clay but obviously monfils retired. So hopefully a good start to the day!!
Yes Re-Invented nice start, more comfortable than I’d imagined! Was thinking over 19.5games in Djokovic v Cilic?
My first post on this forum so please be kind ;p.
The Speedway Grand Prix starts tomorrow night in Poland – Warsaw (6pm EuroSport 2) and I would like to add my selections to this forum & see if anyone else has an interest in speedway!
I’ve been looking at these odds for quite a while and researching into why Troy Batchelor is 6/4 to beat Chris Harris in a rider match up available on Ladbrokes.
Harris is British just like myself and my opinion is that he is way past his best and his highest score last season in the GP was 6. The maximum points is 21 –
3 points for a win
2 points – 2nd
1 point – 3rd
0 points – 4th
(16 riders who all race 5 individual heats, top 8 go into 2 semi finals, and the final consisting of the top 2 in each semi).
Now Batchelor (Australian) scored 20 points in the Parken stadium in Denmark last season and head to head Batchelor has ended 9 meetings out of 12 with more points than Harris, Harris ended up with more points in 2 of the 12 meetings with the other ending up a draw.
Overall Batch finished the season with 91 points and Harris 48 points
Now please remember this is a first meeting and in speedway anything can happen so don’t go crazy with mad stakes but I will be having a little play.
Selection –
Batchelor to beat Harris @6/4 Ladbrokes (Rider Match-Up)
Bet365 normally prices these markets up but nothing as of yet.
I will also be having a look into outright markets later this evening and will post my thoughts on here if the response is positive enough from this post :).
Loving the layout and the community Mr.Fixit!!
OneGear, good to see some speedway tips – good luck with those.
Juan just seen your comment, class start! I’m tempted of covering monfils tomorrow against berdych, I know he’s 7-1 down head to head but he’s playing some of the best tennis I’ve seen him play in a long time. Did you end up going for over 19.5? Cilic is definitely playing better this second set
Raonic gave up, injury I guess? He was also having some problems yesterday.
Djokovic is crushing his opponent again, too bad I forgot to bet today. I’m gonna be all over him to win the tournament. I hope the odds are good on that.
Anyone know who had the highest 3 dart average in the premier league (darts)?
Had Taylor to have it but lost track of the results while I was watching it.
Anyone who backed Taylor to score the most 180s for the night with betway make sure they paid out at 5-1, they only paid me at 2-1
No Re-Invented thankfully not! But I have gone for over 21.5 in Nadal game hoping Ferrer can stick with him
Anderson got highest average at 104.27 beating Taylors 103.53. One dart makes all the difference!
Cheers Juan
Great minds think alike juan, I’ve got over 22.5 so I need a 7-6 second set or ferrer to win the second. Here’s hoping
Miracle needed by the looks of things!
Brewers @ Cardinals
Cardinals over 3.5 runs @ 1.74 *won*
Marlins @ Mets
Marlins over 7.5 @ 1.8 *lost*
Gonna do a small double on the two as well @ 3.08 *lost*
Marlins ended with 7 hits. So close…
Andy just saw your post. Unlucky mate, Brewers let you down. They had chances to score and didn’t take them.
Juan can you believe it we got our miracle!!!!!
Haha yes a great turnaround from Ferrer! Any fancies for the ladies matches later on?
Possibly Lourdes Dominguez lino to defeat Teliana Pereira at 6/5. Might be one for inplay.
Nice start to the day! Just had a quick scan through Juan and nothing is grabbing my attention right now. I’ll probably wait until tomorrow now, anything your on later?
Yes Felix she seems to have been in good form this week ill have a look at that later.
Re-Invented i put the over 21.5 winnings on Nadal at 1/2 so lets see how that goes!
I think Nadal will take this mate, but either way I think I’ll definitely be covering djokovic after the game these two have had to play. Hopefully they don’t give crappy odds
Rafa The Gaffer got the job the job done thankfully. I notice Shvedova beat Puig 2-0 earlier this year, that was on the hardcourt in Australia, and clearly Puig is more at home on the clay (she won in Strasboutg last year) but do you think the surface will mean a reverse in result or would the wise man stick with Shvedova to confirm the form?
Just the one so far. Might be more later though.
White Sox @ Tigers
Tigers over 4.5 runs @ 2.2
Click on my name if you want to read the reasoning.
Good luck everyone.
I would probably trust shvedova with my money Juan, but I only bet if I’ve watched them play recently so I know how they are moving and how form is so I won’t place it myself. Will you be around for tomorrow’s semis?
Yes im sure ill have an eye on it – just seeing the odds Berych 4/5 Monfils Evs, Djokovic 2/5 Nadal 7/4
Going on spurs rockets n gsw over ht totals n ft totals when games commence
Terrible odds for djokovic, maybe 3 sets might be worth a little go at 6/5. I’ll have an in depth look later! Still very tempted by monfils
On your tips Jordan, just gonna look over huggys see if I like them. Don’t suppose any of you know if betvictor have set limits on football transfer specials? Skybet let me do as much as I’ve wanted betvictor stopped me after 20£ -_-
u don’t have to follow … post yours and i’ll see if I like them
One more for tonight-
Marlins @ Mets
Mets @ 1.71
Reasoning added to the blog.
Good luck everyone!
Just out of interest Matty who do you think is moving where?
Tom cleverly to Everton
Rugby league Saints v leeds
Set for a great battle tonight and my anytime scorer tonight is big Adam cuthbertson of Leeds, back him few times this year and decent price tonight
Cuthbertson anytime scorer 4/1
Cycling: Amstel Gold Race 2015
DANIEL MARTIN v Poels
FELLINE v Wegmann
Double @ 2.26 with 365
Daniel Martin is the team leader and has a very strong team which should bring him at least a top 10 finish.
Poels has been sick all week, but has decided today he will start the race. He says he has lower expectations and is happy he can start the race. He also needs to work for their team leader Henao.
Felline and Mollema will lead the Trek team and I think Felline has a very good chance to finish with the best. It’s his breakthrough season and he showed some great climbing and sprinting on Corsica and the Basque country.
I think Wegmann’s place in this match-up is based on his 14th place in this race last season, but he hasn’t shown any form or result yet this season.
The race is on Sunday by the way
Aaaaand it should say match-ups…
Match-ups, winner in capitals.
