GOLDEN OLDIE Alan McManus is through to his first snooker World Championship semi-final in 23 years after edging out fellow Scot and title favourite John Higgins in a thriller.

McManus – a 300-1 shot before the tournament began – is now 14s at Sportingbet for glory and 9-2 at marathonbet to make it past last-four opponent Ding Junhui (1-5, Stan James).

Ding tops the title betting at 13-10 (marathonbet) followed by world No.1 Mark Selby, who is 7-4 at Skybet and takes on Marco Fu in today's semis.

In Super League there's a top-of-the-table clash as Warrington host Wigan while the darts Premier League rolls on to Birmingham with play-off spots still up for grabs.

There's also plenty of tennis and Atlanta Hawks at Boston Celtics in the NBA play-offs, so post your tips and chat below and good luck with your bets.

    I would love to see McManus win this title however 7/4 for Selby is a very good price. Selby has admitted he’s not been playing his best snooker this tournament however he’s number 1 in world for a reason! What you thinking @jordan. Is it worth a few points?

    went for blazers bt i think the clippers have this in the bag they look far sharper

    Boston – Atlanta – Atlanta(+1.5) @ 1.73 Unibet

    Golden State Warriors -9 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 2 Points. – *WON*

    Miami Heat -5 @ 1.90 (PP) – 2 Points. – *LOST*

    LA Clippers +3 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 2 Points. – *LOST*

    Warriors killed it as expected, and probably should have stuck to 1 bet per night. Most surprising result has to be Hornets winning in Miami…. ?

    Anyway, not the bounce back I was looking for ?

    Nice one @jordan on the Blazers, will take the series now.

    Cheers Raoul mate. Same. Big motivation knowing they can win it at home now. Round 2 will be interesting.

      Be interesting to see what the line opens.

      I always planned to take Blazers in game 6, win or lose last night.

    NBA Playoffs: Bet 16

    Boston Celtics ML @ 2.10 (Bet 365) – 2 Points.

    I don’t have time for a big write up, off out tonight.

    But this one is going to game #7.

    Good luck.

    Snooker semi finals think m Selby on outright market 15/8 on betfair is decent world no 1 been a tournament of shocks but think he the one to be on 2 pts for me

  13. iceman 10 years ago

    Jordan, I fancy Celtics to win tonight to take to a final game decider but just wanted to know your thoughts?

  14. primetime 10 years ago

    Put it up the other day about taking Lenard Floyd being the 1st OLB being drafted. I took it when it was at 7/1, put it up here when it was 6/1, he is now 6/5.

    If anyone took it, it might be a good idea to lock in the profit but I am letting mine run.

  15. nflfan 10 years ago

    Ye thx primetime poxy 5 pound on at 11/2 for the fun wish I had more u know ur stuff ?

    • primetime 10 years ago

      Haha we will see, I might look like a mug if Jack gets picked ahead of Floyd still, could happen but I am chancing it.

      Posted this on the football thread but had a few quid on Corey Coleman being the 1st WR taken. Currently 3/1, reasons are up on the other thread, but basically, think teams will value explosive speed rather than route running, hence the bet. But its only small stake for a bit of interest.
