DEFENDING champ Mark Selby survived an almighty scare in the first round of the World Championship as he scraped through 10-9 against Norwegian qualifer Kurt Maflin.

Sunday's action sees the completion of a clutch of matches – Marco Fu leads Jimmy Robertson 5-4, Graeme Dott is 5-4 up on Ricky Walden and John Higgins has a 6-3 advantage over Robert Milkins while Anthony McGill leads fellow Scot Stephen Maguire 6-3.

Starting his first-round games is Neil Robertson, 1-7 at at 888sport to defeat Jamie Jones, an 11-2 underdog at StanJames. It's a closer to call encounter between Barry Hawkins – 4-7 at Betfred – against Winner.com's 13-8 Barry Selt.

In the Monte Carlo Masters tennis final Novak Djokovic will take some stopping as he closes in on a fourth straight ATP Masters title. The world No.1 dumped Rafa Nadal in straight sets yesterday and is just 1-12 at Ladbrokes for victory over Tomas Berdych, who's priced up at 8-1 by bet365.

Elsewhere on Sunday there's more NBA play-off action as well as the Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix and cycling's Amstel gold race among the sporting highlights.

Good luck if you're having a bet and post your sporting tips and thoughts here.

    Just a recap of the in running bets for the first night of the playoffs.

    Main Bets

    GSW -3.5 – WON
    Hawks -2 – TO PLAY
    Rockets +2.5 – WON

    EVS @ 365 (Bet stretches from Saturday 8:35PM to when the Hawks game ends Sunday night, probably shortly after midnight.)

    Warriors Over 103.5 – WON
    Houston Rockets ML – WON
    Hawks -2.5 – TO PLAY

    6/4 @ Skybet

    Houston Rockets win first game & the series @ EVS @ PP (Moved this into a main bet because Picksix and Huggy both agree this is a good punt so that’s good enough for me to put some more cash on it). 1ST GAME WON

    Smaller Bets

    Add Cavaliers -3 @ 6/4 @ 365 (Four fold) – TO PLAY

    Add Cavaliers -4.5 @ 21/10 @ Skybet (Four fold) – TO PLAY

    £20 Fun Bet

    Wizards +12.5 – WON
    Warriors -3.5 – WON
    Bucks +15.5 – WON
    Rockets +2.5 – WON
    Cavaliers -3 – TO PLAY
    Hawks -2 – TO PLAY
    Grizzlies +4 – TO PLAY
    Spurs +9 – TO PLAY

    @ 52/10 @ 365

    Decent first night with everything going to plan (apart from Klay Thompsons free throw ability but got the push on 21). Both main trebles can be covered on Nets +3.5 @ 23/10 @ 365 but I’ll leave it. The Houston Game 1/Series double can be covered on the Mavericks to win the series @ 31/10 @ PP ;)

    Said to Huggy the other night at the time of the totals I fancied the Warriors game to go over 203.5 (205) and the Rockets game over 210 (226) also said Cavs goes over 203 so we’ll see how that goes.

    Well done Huggy/Attila on the Bulls.

  2. realwalker 9 years ago

    Thanks Jordan, Had a couple bad days on the footy but its looking good here to recoup all my losses.
    When i was placing your tips I said to my gf to pick out a line asking her questions like Jurassic Park v Lord of the rings for the wizards v raptors.
    Amazingly she picked out a 4fold paying out at 9/1
    Its a funny old game:)

  3. anasewhiz 9 years ago

    Congrats LORD jordan.. @dazzler MLB looks rily nice too bet on… Did singles on;

    La dodgers. WON
    Seattle un8. WON
    Pittsbrg. WON
    Kansas. LOST

    Not a bad nite for my first…

  4. anasewhiz 9 years ago

    Not soo lucky in the nba… Picked:

    Wizards to win(didn’t post) WON
    GSW over 205.5. LOST
    Bulls Under 190. LOST
    Rockets over 212. WON

    Half in Half I guess… Hope many of you got winners.. I think I hav too change my bookie, not giving me the options to place “JORDAN/HUGGY” tips

  5. re-invented 9 years ago

    Jordan you was right about rockhold he dominated machida, I called holloway and vanzant right and we both nailed it with osp. But when it came down to it last night I didn’t trust any of them and my acca was brought down by machida! Good call on rockhold mate. Any nba tips tonight?

  6. Juan 9 years ago

    Over 18.5games Djokovic v Berdych? Even a 6-4 6-3 would be enough

  7. Attila 9 years ago

    ***POSTED YESTERDAY***

    NBA PLAYOFFS SINGLE (Saturday):

    ***WON*** – Chicago Bulls -7.5 @ $1.92

    Huggy, didn’t actually notice you were on the Bulls as well, gr8 stuff! And cheers Jordan, you did well yourself mate.

  8. re-invented 9 years ago

    Juan, even though djokovic leads the head to heads 18 to 2, they have only actually played each other on clay twice the most recent being the Rome masters in 2013 which berdych won so they are 1-1 on clay. Both matches on clay went to 3 sets so I think that’s actually a brilliant shout over 18.5. Djokovic is going to go into this very confident after keeping nadal at bay quite easily, but considering its a final berdych will surely give this everything he’s got

  9. re-invented 9 years ago

    Saying all that, I do think djokovic will win. But given that they have only actually played each other twice on clay and the most recent being a berdych win it could be worth a tenner on berdych at 8/1, what’s your thoughts Juan?

  10. paul 9 years ago

    Pakistan 270 to 300 runs 11/4

  11. Attila 9 years ago

    Reinvented – I can’t see anything except an easy Djokovic win. Even though Beedych has looked very good, not even losing a set, he won’t look that good against Djoker. Shockers defence will be too strong, as as seen yesterday against monfils, he looked great until monfils stepped it up and whenever a long rally ensued Berdych was forced into mistakes.

    Therefore, I’m tipping UNDER 19.5 total match games @ $1.67 (allows a 6-4 & 6-3).

  12. Attila 9 years ago

    *Djokers defence

  13. huggybear 9 years ago

    huggy`s main bet

    pelicans / warriors ova 196 (WON 205)
    bucks / bulls ova 179 (WON 194)
    celtics / cavs ova 196 ( TO RUN )

    pays 1.90/1

    second main bet

    chicago bulls -7.5 home to bucks. WINNER !!!

    SMALLER BET ON

    BULLS AND HOUSTON TO HAVE THE HIGHEST SCORING 1/4 WITH B365

    DOUBLE PAYS 1.21/1 ** LOST ** MAVS WENT BERSERK IN THE 2ND QUARTER AND HIT 36

    JUST NEED CAVS / CELTICS TO MAKE IT A REALLY GOOD START !!!

  14. huggybear 9 years ago

    post tonights NBA tips later for tonights matches , have a good look later.

    Attila , if we both pick the same game it can only be a good thing , so well DONE on agreeing with me LOL…

    Jordan flagged a houston opener and series win and we all had a crack but Mavs wont slope away for sure.

    I`m leaning towards a SPURS away win and like Celtics being given 11.5 points.

    My fun Prop bets were awful TBH but its only the main bets that need winning …

    WELL DONE ALL THAT WON LAST NIGHT AND WELL DONE JORDAN ON AN AWESOME START , HOPING THE OTHERS FALL IN PLACE TONIGHT AND GIVE THE PLAY-OFFS THE DREAM START .

    free throws missed away from home bearable , but with that support – shocking !!

  15. huggybear 9 years ago

    ‘LORD’ jordan ” I now pronounce you ‘KING OF THE NBA” JORDAN ‘

    ALL HAIL !!!!!!

  16. re-invented 9 years ago

    Attila completely see where your coming from, it’s such a fine line and a hard one to call. All I would need is berdych to match nadals performance and it wins or to better his performance and I don’t need to worry, but it would have to be a complete shut out for over 18.5 not to come in, do you think he will completely shut out berdych?

  17. tomekplnd 9 years ago

    Attila I was on the Bulls, many thanks!!

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      tomekplnd , YOUR WELCOME !!!

  18. Attila 9 years ago

    Re-invented, as you said, it is a very fine line. It’s pretty much 50-50 stuff. The only guarantee here is the lowly $1.08 for a Djokovic win, LOL.
    I’m just looking at how he is shutting everyone else out, and to be honest, Nadal didn’t actually play bad, it was just Djokovic’s patience and defense. I think Nadal is a better player than Berdych (especially on clay) so going on yesterdays score I just feel it will go under the 19.5.
    Good luck with whatever you choose though!

  19. Attila 9 years ago

    *UPDATE ON MY ROLLING SNOOKER TIPS (posted yesterday)*:

    Outright Betting:
    *PENDING* – Judd Trump to win @ $6.00 (4 points)

    6-FOLD ACCA @ $2.10 (6 points):
    *WON* – Selby
    *Winning* – Fu
    *To Play* – N.Robertson
    *To Play* – Bingham
    *To Play* – Perry
    *To Play* – Trump

    Long 19 framers split over 2 days again. The games in the Acca are over a week so only follow if you are patient! But I think it is very solid. As for Judd Trump, I think he’ll have the class over the long format to take it all the way here.

    ***EXTRA BET / TIP***:

    – After watching him play the 1st half of his match yesterday, I feel JOHN HIGGINS has hit top form at the right time and i am putting ‘1 POINT Each/Way’ on him to win the tournament.
    His outright odds have dropped down to $21 now (from $40 a couple days ago) so it’s not just me that thinks he can at least make it to the final (if runner up the E/W bet pays 1/2 odds, so thats $10.50).

  20. Ket 9 years ago

    Boxing last night

    Mathews 1/1 **WIN**
    Matthysee 8/11 **WIN**
    Chavez 1/5 **LOSE**
    Crawford 1/10 **WIN**

    The last 2 i had in a ‘cert’ acca, so that failed. Still a good night with the first 2 coming in at good value.

  21. Ket 9 years ago

    Snooker

    Ali carter -2.5 frames 1/1

  22. Jordan 9 years ago

    Huggy, I prefer sir if I’m honest ;)

    Re-invented my small punts failed miserably to be honest. FAncied Vanzant and Rockhold but went against them as I saw many though Herrigs experience would win her that fight and your thoughts on Machida steered me towards. Safe to say she got battered. Only won on Holloway and never placed a penny on St Preux so one to forget haha, next week should be better.

  23. Jordan 9 years ago

    Real Walker haha some of the names can can stupid to the untrained ears!

  24. huggybear 9 years ago

    HUGGY`S MAIN BET FOR TONIGHT

    CAVS CETICS TO GO OVA 203 , SPURS +1 OR BROOKLYN NETS +10 , ALSO LIKE CELTICS +11.5 , GRIZZLIES -4.5

    already have cavs in yesterdays ongoing treble so reluctant to go again there. I`M LEANING towards Memphis as PTB have a few injuries and a dip in form.

    SIR JORDAN , what are your thoughts ?

  25. huggybear 9 years ago

    inplay altajbasket -16.5

    indepth bball knowledge

  26. Jordan 9 years ago

    Tough one tonight Huggy. The only spread I fancied over the weekend was the Rockets. Cavs could go over 203 (the one remaining game I fancied to go over) but the Celtics would have to shoot well and keep the pace up as the Cavs like to run the shot clock out. Memphis -4.5 is possible but they have their share of injuries too. Don’t let me put you off anything mate. I’d wait for team news on that one though. Spread being so low in the Spurs game scares me.

  27. Juan 9 years ago

    I didn’t even get on the over 18.5games but wish I had now, Berdych has started pretty well

  28. Jordan 9 years ago

    Anybody on the Rockets Game 1/Series bet @ EVS can get away with murder now by covering on the Mavericks to win the series @ 16/5 @ BV (3.2/1)

  29. re-invented 9 years ago

    He started well Juan, but he’s been giving away vital points since he went ahead. Looks like Attila will be right with this one unless berdych starts well in the second. I can see djokovic dominating the second set now

  30. re-invented 9 years ago

    Jordan sorry for talking you out of rockhold haha, I always struggle to bet against machida though he’s so elusive and he’s proved to many times what he can do. But rockhold looked amazing and if he gets the title shot I will probably side with him after watching that dominance, even weidman struggled with machida.

  31. re-invented 9 years ago

    Maybe not come on berdych!!!

  32. Jordan 9 years ago

    Don’t worry mate I talked myself out of VanZant and St Preux because I looked at a lot of review from so called ‘experts’ and they thought Herrig and Cummins would both win by decision. Lesson learned to go with my own instincts haha

  33. Jordan 9 years ago

    One thing I like about the Spurs spread, is that I can guarantee that Popovich will be playing hack-a-Jordan (DeAndre) at some point in the night, or at multiple points! Thus slowing down the Clippers offense and forcing them to pull out the best rebounder in the NBA this season.

    My prop bet tonight is Tim Duncan (Spurs) Over 15 Points @ 5/6 @ PP

    £10 on Cleveland Cavaliers to be the highest scoring team of the night @ 15/8 @ Ladbrokes.

  34. re-invented 9 years ago

    If anyone did take over 18.5 in the djokovic v berdych match, you probably don’t need to but the only cover you in is second set correct score 6-0 to djokovic at 22/1

  35. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Huggy

    I got Altajajbasket-6.5 inplay small bet.

    Not sure on Russian BBall but when the Huggy puts it up..its worth a go. Gl

    My NBA bets so far are following Jordan/Huggy/Attilia so far so good guys…thanks.

    Cheers Huggy..when they were getting beat i thought someone had maybe hacked your username.

    Clearly not..knowledge is class..well done.

  38. Attila 9 years ago

    MY 10 POINT NBA SINGLE FOR TODAY:

    – Boston Celtics +11.5 @ $1.92

    The Cavs should win this one, but I don’t think they will have tightened up their defense enough to stop a shot happy Celtics side from keeping within the 11.5 point margin. Cleveland are the deserved favourites today, but not by this many points against a side that have played themselves into some very good form and in a match of this magnitude. Cavs win by 7, but Celtics to cover.

  39. Jordan 9 years ago

    Cavs win by 7 and I’ll be more than happy Attila. Good luck mate.

  40. Jordan 9 years ago

    Didn’t know you were a Russian basketball guru Huggy haha

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      many strings to this bow , Sir Jordan

  41. realwalker 9 years ago

    Im waiting on hawks-2 on one acca
    Over 196 on Celtics/Cavs on another
    Does anyone see any problems there?
    Whats the bets for tonight guys?
    Jordan n Huggy especially, top guys for sharing your wisdom,very appreciated by me and im sure countless others.

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      Realwalker i`m in the same boat as you , waiting on the cavs/cetics total , i`m waiting on ova 196 ( i think ) to land my treble and i do believe it`ll reach the total but nothings guaranteed , also agree on Sir Jordans spreads on 3`s and 5`s ….

      also think fanatic home crowd will motivate a hawks home court win , thinking they`ll be 7/8 points better but thats guesswork , also fancy hawks to defend well and keep the score under the total so i`m hoping you and Sir jordan are ok..

      Huggy`s Main bet tonight ( CHANGED FROM CELTICS +11.5 )TO

      Grizzlies -4.5

      my rubbish fun prop bets are going on

      marc gason ova 18.5 and kevin love ova 16.5

      GOOD LUCK AS ALWAYS AND LET THE GAMES BEGIN

  42. Jordan 9 years ago

    Realwalker, I’m waiting on Atlanta -2 and -2.5 for my main trebles, Cavs -3 and -4.5 on the four folds. Both markets you’re waiting on will be available to cover in play depending on how well it’s going. PP would be my recommendation depending where your places your bets.

    No worries, wouldn’t call it wisdom though, just gained knowledge from watching so much over the last couple of months.

    • huggybear 9 years ago

  49. Conor96 9 years ago

    Hey guys,

    Just throwing in my bet for the NBA playoffs tonight, small stake, from a treble I won, and from Napoli currently winning 3-0 75th minute should be won.

    Nets +10.5
    Celtics +11.5

    Odds: 3.68 (Sportsbet)

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      CONOR96 , looks good on paper both more than capable of staying with their oposition.

      Jordan am as funny as villa 2 liverpool 1 ?

      sorry to all the liverpool nba`s only messing.

      I think if Arsenal play like yesterday in the final , villa have more than a squeak , would`nt mine losing but not too a tottenham man , boy will he have em fired up.

      The winners thread Alive and Kicking !!! Lets have WINNER !!! all over tomorrows us sports page…

  50. Jordan 9 years ago

    What I’m loving about the playoffs is that the spreads are exactly the same for game 2. So I’ll more than likely be posting the exact same bets :)

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      we don`t care as long as they are winners !! you have a reputation to behold…

      (THE HEAT IS ON)

      SIR !!!!!!

    Last nights posts

    Rockets ht/ft @ 20/21 **WON**

    Rockets off to a good start need them to win the series now for a decent payday $$$$

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      Picksix , think there`s a chance that may go the distance but do fancy our chances.

      nice win in the return will do us nicely. i fancy every game in the series to go high.

      i also think nets won`t be no pushover so i stayed away , be cheering the hawks on for you.. Realwalker and Sir Jordan of NBA-IA ( his new name ) are onboard with you.

      TV game too

  52. Picksix 9 years ago

    Looks like everyone done well last night lets hope it Carrys on

    Im liking the Hawks don’t think the nets will stay
    within 10 against them on the road

    Atlanta Hawks – 10 @ 10/11

    Cavs ht/ft
    Hawks ht/ft
    Double @ 6/5

  53. Jordan 9 years ago

    Difference is huggy I don’t care if people follow me or not, and don’t get flustered when people don’t.

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      no i know , i advise and people will follow ONLY if they agree.

      Some of the guys on here have really taken to the NBA and built up their own decent knowledge.

      I LOVES IT …………..

  54. Jordan 9 years ago

    Sir! :D

  55. Picksix 9 years ago

    Spurs will be worth a bet later on aswell not goin to bet it just now Going to take a risk and hope spread goes out in favour of the Spurs

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      MATE i`m thinking about keeping that inplay , they did this last year and come the PLAY-OFFS stepped it up.

      I made my biggest wins backing them in the final over LEBRON AND CO last season. Certainly big game players.

  56. huggybear 9 years ago

    HOME OF THE `BANTER` !!!

  57. Jordan 9 years ago

    Huggy I was tempted on the Spurs ML now because if hack-a-Jordan comes into play they could stretch out and odds will be gone in play. EVS aint bad.

  58. Jordan 9 years ago

    I say if, I mean when. Deandre Jordan will get hacked for free throws in this game. I’m taking a small stab on the Spurs ML @ EVS. Why not.

  59. Picksix 9 years ago

    Huggy I gree mate the mavs are a good team and it wouldn’t surprise me if it went the distance but I haven’t seen a bet I fancied so much in a while at least we’re half way home and got the first win now just need the series

    Ye I jus gotta feelin the Hawks will be up for this the nets at home are a different team to when they are on the road and the Hawks should be able to shut brook Lopez out

  60. Jordan 9 years ago

    Picksix. Can’t complain with 16/5 cover on the Mavs to win the series.

  61. huggybear 9 years ago

    WHEN YOU NEED 196 OR OVA AS 3RD PART OF YOUR TREBLE …

    a 116 first half score is acceptable :

    2nd half cavs pull away and win by 12 to 16 , well that`s my guess anyway

  62. Picksix 9 years ago

    Ye mate defo a good price to cover but I think I’m gonna take a chance and see if the rockets beat them at home again and then I will prob cover
    the mavs will prob be around 7/1 then I’m guessing

  63. danny 9 years ago

    anyone with the inplay tip ?

  64. V P 9 years ago

    Jordan you do realise that you’re not getting away with anything by doing that. The amount you get from putting bets on contradicting odds of 1/1 and just over 3/1 is less than what you’d have got from just putting them to win yesterday which is effectively what you’ve done just at worse odds.

  65. Jordan 9 years ago

    VP.

    The bet @ EVS was Houston Rockets to win the first game and the series. They’ve won the first game, so now they need to win the series.

    So cover on the Mavericks to win the series @ 16/5 is @ 3.2/1. Do you want a calculator?

  66. Jordan 9 years ago

    Just seen your protege comment Huggy hahahahaha

  67. V P 9 years ago

    I know and by doing that your bet is effectively just Houston to win the first game

  68. V P 9 years ago

    This isn’t critisism, I know you like to insure your bets and that’s why the bet for the first game to be won and then the series to then be won should only be done if you don’t insure it after the first game if they win which they did

  69. Jordan 9 years ago

    VP think you better go to bed mate haha

  70. Jordan 9 years ago

    The bet was @ EVS, and it’s covered @ 3.2/1. There is no argument to make…

  71. huggybear 9 years ago

    V.P .

    WAT IF JORDAN GOT £300 ON IT ?

    WORK THAT OUT..

  72. V P 9 years ago

    Can you see how by doing that your bet was effectively just Houston to win the first game

  73. V P 9 years ago

    If he had 300 on it potential win is 600.
    Then puts bet on at 3.2 /1 to guarantee 600 this would be around 190. So 490 for a guaranteed 600. So 110 gained.
    300 on them to win at 4/9, around 135 gained.
    Both bets lose if Houston lose first game

  74. Jordan 9 years ago

    VP wtf are you talking about!?

    HOUSTON ROCKETS GAME 1 & WIN THE SERIES @ EVS

    £200 TO RETURN £400

    £62.50 @ 16/5 ON MAVERICKS TO WIN THE SERIES RETURNS £262.50

    £262.50 TO RETURN £262.50 OR £337.50

    OK!?!?!

  75. Ket 9 years ago

    Please celtics…

  76. Jordan 9 years ago

    Newsflash, they won the first game last night…

  77. V P 9 years ago

    Wow ok sorry there’s still a better no lose way of doing it like that but don’t worry if you want to talk like that

  78. Jordan 9 years ago

    No VP, the only way of making it better is if the Rockets win their next game on Wednesday morning where the odds on the Mavericks to win the series will be greater. Think before you try correcting somebody in future. Like the WDW market ;)

  79. Jordan 9 years ago

    Oh yeah. All 3 I said I think will go over, have gone over.

    Warriors/Pelicans 203.5 (205)
    Rockets/Mavericks 210 (226)
    Cavaliers/Celtics 203 (209 and counting)

  80. V P 9 years ago

    Lol ok my thinking hasn’t changed on anything but disagreeing doesn’t matter

  81. Jordan 9 years ago

    Ohhhh that’s going to hurt. Unlucky Attila mate.

  82. Jordan 9 years ago

    You keep thinking that mate because your opinion is invalid.

  83. danny 9 years ago

    THAT MISS BY CELTIC 2 pts short

  84. paul 9 years ago

    Me too danny. They only got two in last 2 mins

    All in on hawks over 107 eek seems high they may only get 104-95 win

  85. Jordan 9 years ago

    All of my bets can be covered on Nets +3.5 @ 3/1 @ PP

    That’s EVS, 6/4, 6/4 and 21/10.

    • huggybear 9 years ago

    Hey Guys,

    Still busy so just a quick post, plenty of winners again yesterday. Good stuff Jordan/Huggy/Picksix/…

    I was on Cleveland -11.5 (and that just got in) but didn’t manage to post earlier.
    I agree with Huggy on Grizzlies -4.5 and that’s also my single for later.

    GL everyone!

    ——–

    Posted yesterday:

    My single for tonight is Houston -5.5 against Dallas. *** WIN ***

  87. huggybear 9 years ago

    well glad I changed my main bet . did I say cavs between 12 and 16 , 13 good shout ?

    well that’s the second main bet of the series landed . even won a prop bet…

    now come on u grizzlies

    and hawks for the boys….

  88. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    I’ve gone for a ‘hit and hope’ with the Grizzlies to win and over 188.5 points to win back my loses

  89. V P 9 years ago

    Lol it’s not opinion it’s fact to me. It doesn’t make a difference anyway so it’s fine

  90. Jordan 9 years ago

    Yeah and it’s also a fact that WDW is a 33.3333333333333% chance market ;)

  91. Jordan 9 years ago

    Not sure a hit and hope wins back losses Alty but good luck mate.

  92. V P 9 years ago

    I said I can know that’s wrong and that also it doesn’t really matter

  93. Alty Adam 9 years ago

    It’s my last £3 so why not haha, are you on anything for that game?

  94. Jordan 9 years ago

    Only in my fun bet mate which is Grizzlies +4. Not sure about over though if I’m honest. I’ve got a small stake on the Spurs ML @ EVS.

    Anybody up for the duration?

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      grafting . so yep

  95. Jordan 9 years ago

    Nets +3.5 @ 11/2 @ PP

    That’s my cover on all 4. Any problems with that anyone? Anyone!? ;)

  96. Jordan 9 years ago

    Offft gutted Huggy. So you can’t even watch the Clippers game?

  97. huggybear 9 years ago

    no SIR . sorry SIR

  98. huggybear 9 years ago

    REALWALKER..

    2 ACCAS IN THE BANK

    I THINK

    • realwalker 9 years ago

      Nearly huggy, waiting on Hawks -2
      Im here if anyone you guys have inplay bets :)

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      mate.. never thought they’d lose home court and still don’t..

      fingers crossed .

      just put a couple of quid on hawks 3rd 1/4 spread win for fun . just keep the bet small and never chase . that’s wat I do

  99. huggybear 9 years ago

    lets draw a line please lads.

    we all have different budgets . methods

    keep it to tips / advice

    • realwalker 9 years ago

      Just waiting on Hawks-2 Huggy, Big thanks to you n Jordan.
      Any inplay bets tonight?

    • magictips 9 years ago

      Well said Huggybear, life is to short, good luck EVERYONE

  100. Picksix 9 years ago

    Well said Huggy my boy

  101. paul 9 years ago

    Ok 107.5 is too high for hawks as theyl get 50 at most in remaining time. Theyl just break 100 so prob should do under 107.5 do I ?

  102. Picksix 9 years ago

    I don’t think the Hawks are gonna slow down the big boys don’t mess around come playoff time

    107 seems high but then again the Hawks can score freely

  103. huggybear 9 years ago

    paul be surprised if they get 57 but its only 28 point quarters needed..

    I’d fancy 104 guess though

  104. Picksix 9 years ago

    hawks 105 nets 92

  105. paul 9 years ago

    Yeah hawks will get 27 next quarter but they are gonna share 200 points with brooklyn so all brook need is 94 n our bet of over 107 is fukd.

    If they get lots in q3 im cashing out as won on villa earlier so small loss from boston missing 2 pointer

    REckOn it will be 81-69 at q3 n 104-95 at ft

  106. Jordan 9 years ago

    Yeah I’m arrogant. When users try to correct me on a bet they got wrong. Don’t care who does. My bets are my bets, not tips. It doesn’t make me any happier/proud if anyone does. I profit/lose regardless.

  107. magictips 9 years ago

    Jordan,
    you disappoint me, we all make mistakes, but it is only polite to point out politely, when people have, keep up the GREAT NBA TIPS

  108. GAZ B 9 years ago

    VP SHOULD KNOW BY NOW PAL THAT YOU CANT QUESTION CERTAIN PEOPLES APPROACH TO BETTING , A ONE SIDED ARGUMENT IS HARD TO DISCUSS ;)

  109. Jordan 9 years ago

    An excellent remark Gaz.

  110. k 9 years ago

    An excellent remark Gaz.

  111. Ellis 9 years ago

    Attila,

    I’m also a huge snooker fan and I’ve absolutely smashed the rocket at 13/5 skybet enhanced odds. What’s your opinion. I think him and trump (although they would meet in the semi finals) are the only two potential winners

  112. Jordan 9 years ago

    Magictips, I did politely three times. But he kept coming back with more posts that were still wrong. Not the first time he’s questioned me either.

  113. Jordan 9 years ago

    I’ll do that k

    • magictips 9 years ago

      Jordan,
      my apologies, let’s move on, i think you have great knowledge on the NBA and i commend you and huggybear and any others that i have forgot their names, let’s move on. ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL, BEAT THE BOOKIES, what are your other 2 later match tips,

      thanks

    • max 9 years ago

      LMAO, great Knowledge of NBA, he only been posting this season which he gets his bets of US websites. He will be a MLB guru by June, as he needs to feed his 1am – 5am cravings :) He never watched NFL, NBA OR MLB before this year!

  114. GAZ B 9 years ago

    Ellis I think your potentially correct and skybet odds have really tempted me, you not think Robertson could with an easier route to final? Guest fats why he is second fave ?

  115. Picksix 9 years ago

    To be fair I would be p*ssed of if someone told me how to bet and how to manage my money

    At the end of the day it’s all about makin profit

    Still waiting for that Spurs spread to go up if goes to 2 im jumpin on that

  116. Ellis 9 years ago

    GAZ B,

    Robertson is my favourite player and I back him every tournament , however, he is really out of form. He played really well today and he is more than capable of winning it

    I think he may potentially get to the final !

    However, although I can’t stand Ronnie he plays well at the worlds and I know people will use the old “if Ronnie can be bothered he will win” excuse….. Surely £300,000 is enough to make him be bothered and he will want payback on trump for the Grand Prix exit

  117. Jordan 9 years ago

    Huggy, Grizzlies shortening. Best of luck sir.

  118. Picksix 9 years ago

    Jordan il probably be watchin the game mate I’ve backed the Spurs to win the series

    So gonna take them on the spread tonight too

  119. Jordan 9 years ago

    Picksix, not necessarily make profit. I’d rather be able to cover for my stake and not win anything than wait for a big cover to cover max profit. I think that’s where VP was going wrong thinking I was covering for max profit. I cover on stakes only unless it’s big bets in which VP knows I won two bets over 18/1 on the NFL and won on the cover too.

  120. Jordan 9 years ago

    Picksix take the ML mate. I can’t see the Clippers winning by exactly 1 point for the potential +1.5-2 for the Spurs to win. Only a small bet for me.

  121. huggybear 9 years ago

    realwalker . hawks 3rd 1/4 , -1.5

    19 – 17 WINNER !!!

    TOLD U HAWKS WILL WALK THIS . NICE WINNERS MATE WELL DONE

  122. Picksix 9 years ago

    I know wat u mean mate I do the same I don’t really like turning my back on my initial bet so wen I cover its to break even and stick with you’re initial thought for the profit

  123. GAZ B 9 years ago

    ELLIS I’m opposite I love Ronnie but can certainly
    See Why a lot don’t, he does turn it on on the big stage but trump has run him close, just thinking bit of value there with the path to final, u had a
    Look if there is odds For naming finalists that’s another way to look at it

  124. Jordan 9 years ago

    Obviously never cover if you’re placing more to cover your stake than what you’d win in potential profit, but with 16/5 for an EVS bet you can’t go wrong.

  125. huggybear 9 years ago

    had a little nibble on spurs first match and series @ 2’s , b365 have grizz up 1/2 a point to -5 .

    I avoided celtics and nets with the points , hoping memphis defend like a tony adams led back four

  126. V P 9 years ago

    That was hardly what I was trying to say so forget it

  127. V P 9 years ago

    Sorry for causing all this disturbance I shouldn’t try so it will end

  128. Jordan 9 years ago

    Huggy this might tempt you. Marc Gasol Over 18 points and the Grizz to win @ 15/8 @ WillHill

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      mate I posted him as my 2nd prop bet and missed that ( I’d have had a piece too ) seen pro’s back -7 spread wins and they end up being blown out , made that mistake myself

      trust yourself , no one to blame then.

  129. Jordan 9 years ago

    Pahaha max is back. Max, I can tell you now. There isn’t a website in the world that tips alternative spread trebles and four folds, and I’ll have you know the website huggy posted a while back had two of three games I said to go over, to go under. The so called ‘professionals’ ;)

  130. Jordan 9 years ago

    Still don’t watch MLB either Max. You’re wrong about the NFL and NBA too as I only started watching it last year :D Keep it coming pal because I’ve followed both sports and profited big thanks :D

  131. Jordan 9 years ago

    Don’t think you’ll see a website tipping 20/1 accas on NFL or NBA either bud.

  132. GAZ B 9 years ago

    MAX YOUR FORGETTING A FEW SPORTS THERE ARENT YOU ?
    ELLIS NOT SURE IF UV SEEN THE SKYBET ENHANCED ACCA FOR WINNING FIRST FRAME OF DAY? ALL FAVES TO WIN THE FIRST FRAME IN THERE RESPECTIVE GAMES 12/1 WORTH A PUNT TO KEEP INTEREST

  133. huggybear 9 years ago

    any need for guys to post remarks aimed at stirring things up .

    google nba sbr and follow them , makes no odds to anyone.

  134. Jordan 9 years ago

    Also doesn’t make any winners for anyone huggy haha

  135. Jordan 9 years ago

    Gaz he is actually. UFC and Football.

  136. Conor96 9 years ago

    Max,

    I’ve been on this website for a good few months now mainly as a spectator, but I do try to post when I can. I was mainly betting on football up until late last year when I realised there were actually other sports to bet on haha, I looked around found this website and use it as a bit of a guide. Anyways I’ve watched Jordan/Huggy/Wet Lettuce/Atilla/Picksix/etc. make themselves and others loads of profit.

    You don’t have to follow sports for long to pick up the hang of it, know who’s better than others, etc. and to be honest I don’t know why you’re having a go at someone who bets for fun, wins himself and others money, all by posting on this thread for free.

  137. huggybear 9 years ago

    thankyou Conor appreciate that…

  138. Conor96 9 years ago

    No worries Huggy, keep up the great tips!

  139. Conor96 9 years ago

    Hey guys,

    Just throwing in my bet for the NBA playoffs tonight, small stake, from a treble I won, and from Napoli currently winning 3-0 75th minute should be won.

    Nets +10.5 *WON*
    Celtics +11.5 *LOST*

    Odds: 3.68 (Sportsbet)

    ****LOST**** by two points :(

  140. Juan 9 years ago

    Had Atlanta -6.5 that was a nail biter!! All aboard the Huggy express now for the Grizzlies good luck everyone

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      landed 2 main bets . would love a hat-trick

      gasol ova 18.5 was my other prop.

      this’ll be a proper nail biter .

      come on memphis . don’t let me down

  141. huggybear 9 years ago

    realwalker , money in the bank. Well done mate

  142. paul 9 years ago

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      SUPERB !!! START FINDING TOMORROWS MONEY..

  144. Picksix 9 years ago

    Loool Hawks only brought home half thebacon as always they slack in the 4th very slight profit for me then

    Hawks – 10 @ 10/11 **LOSE**

    Cavs ht/ft
    Hawks ht/ft
    Double @ 6/5 **WON**

  145. GAZ B 9 years ago

    Don’t think for one Minute Huggy that I don’t appreciate what some of you guys do, including john b on horses and Mr f on footy, it’s ok to suggest to people not to post but it’s ok for certain people to post stuff and carry what I can only describe as a Massive chip on there shoulder when someone innocently got something wrong while questioning ,everyone surely had the same right to comment to whatever extent, maybe regarding certain people
    Who post 90% of the comments shouldn’t put as much up to read if they don’t like criticism .especialy if they don’t consider there bets to be tips in the first place

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      I see both sides mate.. I know neatly all appreciate the effort put in.

      ta mate

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      well I thought grizzlies would defend well . holding ptb to 39 ain’t bad.

      19 point lead at ht , be gutted if they lose from here…. stranger things have happened

      and gasol is 9 points from landing the prop .

      let me just say this , I’ve been following nba for 2 years after football stuffed me and Jordan has posted as many or even more winners than I’ve had…

      its a numbers game based on form team news etc he’s quality .

      I’ve never seen bad words before tonight on this thread and is the reason I won’t read tge football thread..

      LEAVE IT OUT LADS !!!!

  146. upswing 9 years ago

    grizzlies -5.0

  147. Picksix 9 years ago

    Jordan have you noticed any bookies that do team to win every quater like they do in American football for basketball

  148. Picksix 9 years ago

    Well done on the winners tonight so far

  149. Jordan 9 years ago

    Picksix off the top of my head I don’t mate but that would be a decent market on the NBA. You get some crazy odds for that market in the NFL.

  150. GAZ B 9 years ago

    Best way to be Jordan I’m much the same , no point letting people get to ya, after all if ya winning majority of ya bets in so many kinds of
    Sports must be rolling in it,so can see why a few comments Obviously wouldnt get to you, maybe just look at how ya respond to them however as can be easily misunderstood, like
    You say tho all in same boat, take eachothers comments or leave em. GL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY EVERYONE ✌

  151. Picksix 9 years ago

    Ye u got crazy odds for that I had a 12/1 and 14/1 winner last season both with philly can’t find anything like that for the NBA tho

  152. Jordan 9 years ago

    Picksix would be nice but we’ll have to wait for the NFL, a market I like in that sport is to score in every quarter. Had a few nice trixies last year.

  153. realwalker 9 years ago

    Jordan, dont want to get inbetween you two but what I think hes saying is you placed £200 on at evens and you needed to win the first game then youre staking around £60 to cover for at worst no loss and possible profit of about £140.
    VP is saying you couldve just placed the £200 on rockets at 4/9 for the first game and won just under £90 profit.
    Your way guarantees a higher profit only if the Rockets go on to win the series.
    VPs way is less profit but would already have won since the Rockets won the first game.

  154. Jordan 9 years ago

    Realwalker. They were 2/5 mate. Not going to put £200 on a 2/5 shot for £80. I’d rather do my strategy. As £200 on 2/5, I still would have covered in some way during that game and it would not have been worth it. If this is what VP meant then he should have said the exact words you said.

  155. sah1991 9 years ago

    Just be nice and we will all get along. By the way congrats on the winners!

  156. Jordan 9 years ago

    Been here about two years Max and some bad news for you is that I won’t go anywhere. Never had a row with Mr F either? Might have questioned some tips but I’ve only ever been postponed from here because admin were ‘worried’ about me saying something to Harpreet. Need to get your facts right mate. Must be the biggest troll on here yourself. I might be arrogant but at least I post bets, that win.

  157. realwalker 9 years ago

    Fair enough bud
    Left the grizzlies tonight as I was happy with the two accas coming in but hopefully comes in for everyone who backed it.
    I will be following you n huggy on every bet you post from now on, no pressure lol, Both of you are top guys for sharing your bets n tips.
    Going to visit my gf for a month at the start of June in Greece and im confident my holiday funds will be greatly enhanced sticking with you both.
    Ill be back tomorrow, thanks and goodnight all.

  158. Jordan 9 years ago

    Realwalker, not a problem mate. Like I said I’m no tipster but if people follow then that’s their choice. Next bet will be the same as what you’ve seen tonight as they’re the same spreads more or less. Night mate.

  159. Picksix 9 years ago

    Saaaan annntoonnio

    San Antonio Spurs + 2 @ 20/23

    Should be close

  160. Picksix 9 years ago

    Jordan who is harpreet

    • huggybear 9 years ago

      boooooooooooom !!!

    • Jordan 9 years ago

      Hahaha this is his catchphrase.

  161. Jordan 9 years ago

    Haha good luck mate.

    Said the next bets won’t look much different and that’s about right.

    Main Bet

    Warriors -3
    Cavaliers -3
    Hawks -2

    @ EVS (Treble)

    Smaller Bet

    Add Rockets +2.5 @ 14/10 (Fourfold)

    Both @ 365

  162. Jordan 9 years ago

    Urgh mate. All I’ll say is you’re lucky you’re asking that question and that you don’t follow the football thread. We’ll move on haha

  163. Jordan 9 years ago

    Sir Huggy. Memphis going well as is Gasol! I know you aren’t a covering man but you could cover Portland +5.5 @ 11/2 @ PP ;)

  164. Picksix 9 years ago

    Ok mate enough said lol

    Huggy I’m watching the game grizzlies doing well mate looking good so far

    Hopefully bets land

    Cmon spurs

  165. Picksix 9 years ago

    Lol this harpreet guy even has a catchphrase

  166. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Test

  167. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Im not on Wifi so lots of comments not showing.

    In looked at this page 4 months ago after betting up and down on footy for years..no deposit for 3 months and plenty of withdrawls with more to come in the morning..mainly thanks to Huggy/Jordan (dreamteam) and a few others.

    I am new to NBA and love it i am learning fast..i get strange looks off my footy mates when i say ‘never underestimate the beard’ ha..great banter.

    So thanks to the mentioned guys and keep up the good work.

    Small bet Spurs ml and overs…with a fraction of my pot.

  168. Picksix 9 years ago

    Lol it’s the truth tho always fear the beard

  169. Jordan 9 years ago

    Wetveg no worries mate your a good vegetable.

  170. Jordan 9 years ago

    Your footy mates don’t know what they’re missing by the way haha

    Picksix, yes, he has a catchphrase annoyingly.

  171. Jordan 9 years ago

    Just read dreamteam and it’s giving awful flashbacks of that footy show on Sky1. What an awful programme.

  172. the wet lettuce 9 years ago

    Love West Ham but footy betting is garbage compared to this …as NBA always being so profitible? Maybe start of season iffy? I remember Huggys 35ish SS out of 48ish…great stats that.

  173. Picksix 9 years ago

    Wet lettuce do u like American football

  174. Jordan 9 years ago

    Couldn’t answer that 100% truthfully mate have only been into it since October/November. I imagine so though. Picksix might tell you.

  175. Jordan 9 years ago

    Now that I will agree on Picksix!

  176. Picksix 9 years ago

    It’s probably even more profitable than the nba

  177. Picksix 9 years ago

    Ye I’ve been into the NBA since I was a boy but I’m only 20 so I have only been betting on it this season and last and I done well last season I’ve only deposited 3 times into my account since I was 18 don’t touch football on my online accounts as its the most unpredictable sport out there but yeh the NBA and NFL also college football is profitable

  178. Jordan 9 years ago

    Last remaining ante post bet.

    £20 Fun Bet

    Wizards +12.5 – WON
    Warriors -3.5 – WON
    Bucks +15.5 – WON
    Rockets +2.5 – WON
    Cavaliers -3 – WON
    Hawks -2 – WON
    Grizzlies +4 – WILL WIN
    Spurs +9 – TO PLAY

    @ 52/10 @ 365

    Can be covered on the Clippers -9.5 @ 3/1 @ 365

    This lands and its a full house on the first games at EVS, 6/4, 6/4, 21/20 and 52/10.

    Bets in running with the Fun Bet is the Spurs ML @ EVS, Tim Duncan Over 15 Points @ 5/6 and the Cavaliers to be the highest scoring team if the Grizzlies, Spurs and Clippers stay lower than 113 @ 15/8. Three totals I suggested for over went over so add that to the lucky punts (or knowledge if that’s what you want to call it). Safe to say a decent first round on the main posted betting front.

  179. Picksix 9 years ago

    So I wouldn’t know betting wise anything before last season has Huggy been into the NBA for a few years I would guess tho that guy knows his stuff

  180. silasvuitton 9 years ago

    DAZZLER THANKS ALOT ON YOUR BASEBALL PICKS,
    THAT WAS 4/4…A CLEAN SWEEP…GOD MAKE YOU BIGGER!….THANKS AGAIN

  181. Jordan 9 years ago

    That should say EVS, 6/4, 6/4, 21/10 and 52/10.

  182. Jordan 9 years ago

    Two years I think Huggy said before. Just goes to show it doesn’t take much but you still gotta pick them. I supposedly get all my bets off a website though hahaha

  183. Jordan 9 years ago

    Great work Sir Huggy!

  184. Picksix 9 years ago

    That’s rite it’s an easy sport to get into the old mans a yank so Ive been watchin for years FairPlay seeing as tho you have only been following since October u know you’re stuff

  185. huggybear 9 years ago

    where as I got a good dartboard..

    landed right in the grizzlies -4.5

    gasol you knob , blew my fullhouse…lol

    Jordan brilliant picking 8 spot on.

    nailbiter My arse… won by end of 3rd.

    great posts again lads

    well done all

  187. Jordan 9 years ago

    Huggy swear you tipped Love over? Got 19 so surely that was a winner?

    Cheers picksix, certainly put some hours into it but it’s paid off, as did the NFL on multiple occasions. Draft day almost upon us.

    • huggybear 9 years ago
