SAN ANTONIO SPURS were victims of a costly upset last time out in their play-off crunch with LA Clippers and head into Tuesday night's match with their campaign on a knife-edge.
The seven-game series is tied 2-2 so there's little room for error as the Spurs head to California priced up at 4-5 by Paddy Power for the win against a Clippers side generally available at 11-10.
To qualify the Spurs are 13-18 at 888sport who make the Clippers slight odds against at 15-13. The other match on Tuesday night sees Dallas Mavericks, who trail 3-1, try to make it back-to-back wins.
The Mavericks are 5-2 at Coral for victory while hosts Houston Rockets are 4-11 at Skybet for the win that will wrap up the series.
At the BMW Open tennis there's a stack of first-round matches including Janko Tipsarevic versus Bernard Tomic and Dustin Brown against Simone Bolelli.
Other Tuesday sporting highlights include World Championship snooker and Tour of Romandie cycling so let's hear your tips and thoughts and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly 
good.

Good luck everyone.
I won’t be on much guys. Lost 4 figures the other day after stupidly chasing losses from the Spurs game. So taking some time off.
Attila , catch you soon mate , take care.
HUGGY`S MAIN BET
gonna try a treble of
bucks +15.5
nets +11.5
ptb under 201
TREBLE PAYS 1.22/1
WINNER !!!
Beno Udrih Over (13.5)
grizzlies prop bet *LOST*
WAT A SURPRISE , THE KN*B GETS 13 HAHA
and an optimistic fiver on
`first basket and to win first 1/4 , brook lopez nets
£5 @ 11/1 ( what a stoopid bet huh !! )`
he scores the 2nd basket and they WIN the quarter.
8/9 PLAY-OFF MAIN BETS WIN…..
Cheers huggy took that treble for a nice 1.4 points profit
Seriously getting some good tips from here, think I have lost 2 (1 of those was my own effort) and won 10 or 11.
OK ,jordan will agree ,wer`e on a roll of about 30/35 (main/smaller bets), i lost the other night on Spurs but won it back last night and now i go again tonight.
Attila and others Dont chase losing bets ,unless you can afford big losses , i can`t.
You WILL win it back following tips posted by myself and others.
Will post a few tonight if anyones interested , i know J will put his up later , but a couple of us are waiting on the Rockets to win the series for a tidy sum ( thanks 2 Jordan )
Was on your treble huggy, cancelled out that spurs loss for me thanks :)
a wins a win , but hate when the two would have won on the ML and the third came under the set 194.5 spread.
would have paid a very nice 4/1 ish , but money for tonight.
Last night bets
will probably look for some inplay bets on the Games tonight as nothing looks good at first glance
Put smaller stakes double
Hawks v nets under 198.5 (lost)
Grizzlies v Blazers under 193.5 (won)
Double @ 5/2 **LOSE**
Huggy any thoughts on Spurs clippers
Managed to stop myself while chasing Spurs losses need to be more disciplined. Will stick with the main bets for a couple of days and try to build my bank back up.
Only a prop for me tonight like I said.
The Memphis mans total was 9.5 points in game 3, which he kindly brought in for me in the first quarter. With one of their 3 point shooters out and starting point guard Mike Conley, Lee is the only real 3 point shooter in their starting line up. His totals have been as follows for the series. 20 points, 18 points and 9 points. The double digits being the last two games.
Courtney Lee (Memphis Grizzlies) Over 12 Points @ 5/6 @ PP
Double stakes on this prop (£24) as its the only bet of the night unless I fancy anything in play later.
Now to enjoy the sunshine and spend some winnings.
**WIN** 19 Points.
Well done Huggy. Glad I didn’t put up my own main bet in the end as it would have lost. Guess who. Bulls! East is awful.
Gotta felling this series is gonna go down to the wire so a clippers win for me
La clippers – 2 @ 10/11
Rockets should bring home the bacon later for the series bet with a win but the mavs should keep it close the 7.5 start not a bad shout
picksix , i think like you that Clippers win and cover tonight.
Jordan , great write up and bet , wish i`d joined you after my prop was a 1/2 point loser , hope you convinced a few to join you. And couldn`t agree more East is just woeful and has been all year.
might have my prop bet in the Dallas fixture as you`d have to think this`ll go high. might go with Harden home court showing off moment.
picksix good idea to place a smaller bet last night even though i called all 3 right , i wasn`t overly confident.
Jordan that`s 2 of us thinking Clippers , what about you ?
HARDEN , is 28.5 on pp @ 5/6 also like the look of Dwight Howard ova 12.5 rebounds @ 5/6
Memphis Grizzlies (-5.5) Thursday night looks the bet of the week as they look to close out the series at home , id imagine Conley been rested ( called injured ) will play home court , and they`ll get the win , also taking the ht spread on the night.
Chased many times and come out badly most times, even when you recover you lose the discipline.
Been a bit better myself lately but still had the odd wobble.
Been down 125 points at one stage whilst depositing another 25 points. Managed to recover to around 50 points and banked 25 so around -50 pending tonight.
Bet safe and enjoy, not worth the stress.
Hey guys,
Just thoughts, not tips yet:
Spurs/Clippers: have to agree with the comments above, Clippers -2 seems good.
Mavericks/Rockets: I like Houston to finish the series at home tonight and covering the -6.5, the beard will be fired up by the home crowd so Huggy’s idea for him on player points sounds like a good idea.
Lost a good bunch on Bolton not to score last night :-(, need to build my bank up a bit.
Take care Attila, we’ll be here when you get back.
Cycling: Tour de Romandie 2015
A tour of 6 stages in the Swiss mountains. It starts today with a team time trial. Not a big fan of TTT’s so I will only have a small bet on today’s stage. Also like Uran to finish on the podium.
Stage 1 winner: Orica Greenedge @ 3.25 with BV
Rigoberto Uran for a place 1-3 @ 3.50 with 888sport
Cheers Huggy. Problem was I had a fight with the missus, so was pissed from Spurs & her at the same time so went heavy on a couple of bets that loss (cod I was betting in anger) then better bigger again to win that back and lost (many times chasing losses works) but on this occasion I chased hard and lost a ton (there goes my 185/1 winner profits from 2 weeks ago, lol)
like oriaz said .. be here when your ready.
hope things are sorted now.
I’m no pro gambler but a postie ( drive 7.5 tonne vans ) and bet for fun and post to try and win others some cash based on my nba knowlesge.
when its no longer fun I’m outta here.
luckily I’m about 675% up with my decent run.
quality mate.
loving kapfenbergs 2nd quarter too
they now lead by 19… now I wish id done more…

Etixx quickstep v bac. Team etixx win 4/9
Double pays 1.2 bet365
I really have no idea about the Clippers game. Flip a coin and whichever side it lands on that’s my choice
Thinking about these
Rockets Winning Margin 1-10 @ 7/5 @ PP
Rockets Winning Margin 11+ @ 13/8 @ PP
As long as the Rockets win, you will profit
Split stake 50/50.
£50 @ 7/5 to return £120
£50 @ 13/8 to return £131.25
£20 or £31.25 guaranteed, might get your account blocked though haha
Who do you think will win the first round match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather
You could even do the 7/5 as the main bet and cover it on the 13/8
£50 @ 7/5 to return £120
£30.80 @ 13/8 to return $80.85
£39.20 profit or stake back with 5p change.
Picksix, do you know if you can cover winning margins in play? As I’d be tempted to take the 1-10 and look to cover if its close late on? I know I could do that with -10 in play but just checking my options?
Jordan – am i being stupid here or could you not just place the £100 on Houston @ 1/3 and if they win it returns approx £33 profit? Instead of either £20 or £31.25
Houston win is a better idea but you do that because I’m always wrong
Juan you aren’t being stupid
Juan yes, but that’s more stake for less profit.
£100 to return £30.
My way is £80.80 to return £39.20 or stake refunded.
And Houston win isn’t a better idea. It is if you want less profit from more stake.
Don’t listen to VP, he doesn’t post bets, just butts in on my business.
Hey jordan I was looking at rockets too. Id say theyr as mad as me for falling sleep the last night.
WAs going to do that 1-10 n 11plus on atlanta but did over 103.5 n your player prop. Thanks man.
Dont think rockets game will go as high as previously but houston will win.
Also the guaranteed profit jordan would you not be better to just put the 100 on rockets ml or -2.
I think theyl win by at least 6
Whats the player prop for beard?
No wait a minute. I will accept defeat there, because it doesn’t return stakes at all.
My apologies.
My bet will be Rockets 1-10 @ 7/5 and I’ll cover if needed in play.
Well done VP.
Paul player prop for the beard is 27-28 I think but I might look at another player for the Rockets, not all bookies have markets out just yet.
Royals @ Indians
Over 5.5 runs @ 1.45

You can cover winning bargains inplay mate I would be wary of them still being available halfway through the 4th though as a lot markets seem to dissapear around then
Going to take two early prop bets.
Kawhi Leonard (Spurs) Over 20.5 Points @ 10/11 @ Ladbrokes
Leonard has been the Spurs highest points scorer in the series with 24.8 points per game. If the Spurs want to have a chance of a win in LA again he’ll have to have another big game. Total points in the series stand at 18, 23, 32, 26. Bookies such as PP have his total @ 21.5 @ 8/11, so for the point less and much better price I’ll take 20.5 @ Ladbrokes.
JJ Berea (Mavericks) Over 5.5 Assists @ 23/20 @ Ladbrokes
Berea has stood in for Rondo at point guard and started game 4 for the Mavericks, in which he had a double double with 13 assists and 17 points. Game 3 when he was still being rotated saw him get 9 assists and 11 points. Like my main bet points out, I think the Mavericks will keep it within 10, and if they do that then they’ll need Berea to hand out the dishes once more. His production in Houston wasn’t as good but Rondo was still playing then, and without Rondo they play much better.
Afternoon American sports fans.
Just one game jumped off the page today and that’s Seattle (Happ must start) at Texas (Detwiler must start). Mariners’ starter Happ is having a great year and Detwiler for the Rangers and his 10+ ERA… well… isn’t!
An important reason behind this pick is the last time the Mariners saw Detwiler a week or so ago, they crushed him and I see no reason why the likes of Cruz, Cano, etc shouldn’t inflict the same fate on him this time around.
Also, I am surprised to find that despite playing 1/2 their games in a hitter-friendly park, the Rangers are rock bottom of the MLB charts in hitting (a terrible .211 team avg).
I see that Dazzler has already highlighted them and 1.83 seems generous here so they are my best pick of a tough card.
Cycling: Tour de Romandie 2015 result
Stage 1 winner: Orica Greenedge @ 3.25 with BV :( LOST
That’s why I don’t like betting on team time trials, Team Sky beat Orica Greenedge with a margin of 0,6 seconds.
Rigoberto Uran for a place 1-3 @ 3.50 with 888sport (pending)
He only lost 14 seconds today and took some time on other rivals.

No doubt I’ll get slated by all the “pros” just thought people might want to see few other people approaches , GL huggy and the rest of the regulars , and good luck all newcomers
Haha took all French league 2 games over 1.5 in 8 folds and only waiting on 2 now! Hope one of of them does it. Thanks Greg for pointing it out!
Every chance as the next bet Gaz. Good luck.
gaz b . the system
a side opens – 8.5 favs , if they fall behind early and they drift to minus 1 or in this case plus 1.5 , i will back em as more often than not they’ll turn it round.
worked well then
Houston Rockets 1Q DNB @1.5
Jordan and Huggy ,
What are you finalised tips for tonight?
Rockets Winning Margin 1-10 @ 7/5 and the prop bets Ellis mate.
Smaller stakes than usual but going for Rockets -7.5 @10/11
I’m expecting the Rockets to finish the séries tonight and do it quickly. They’ve covered this spread in the two first legs when playing at home and I expect them to do it again tonight.
GL all!
Thanks Jordan’s!
SOMEONE ASKED FOR A PRO TIP ?
Houston Rockets – 7.5 – 10/11 bet365
NO NEED FOR ANY GOOD LUCK IT IS A WIN
PLEASE EASE ON THE THANKYOUS
Hahahaha good luck Jimbob!
Greetings one and all. Going with a hopefully safe favourites treble tomorrow as there are no real attactive underdogs catching my eye.
Pliskova d Pironkova
Pennetta d Siegmund
Bacsinszky d Maria
Pays 1/1
Might have a few bob on Zverev d Kohlschrebier at 4/1 for a bita fun too.
Jordan how confident are you in houston because im looking to put down a large stake tonight
Hmm looks like most of you guys are siding with the rockets too, might aswell go for it!
Sh*t !
Hope I’m as lucky as Picksix when Jimbob backed his tip now ;-)
Jag quietly confident (not so much now jimbob has posted) paha, just jokes. I think they’ll win but not sure on the 7 points. Dallas have played a lot better without Rondo in the squad and they’ll be fired up after the home win. If Houston win by more than 10 my bet will obviously lose, but I’ll have my main bet that I posted at the start of the playoffs a winner so it won’t be all bad. Good luck if you go on mate.
Haha cheers mate, good luck to you too, also have some money on Houston 1Q
why jimbob why ….
Oriaz good luck buddy hope it lands for you I think the curse of jimbob has ended he’s going for his 3rd in a row atm haha
The crowd helped the mavs so much in the last game they were awesome was a huge factor in them winning the game , even got me pumped up haha there not going to have that in houston
Another thing going the rockets way Is that the beard played poor last game so a big performance is on the cards for him
Good luck again lads
Going on likely houston over 57.5 first half points at 10/13
Think theyl get 30 in first n another 28 so itl squeeze in.
Final score houston 112-104 dallas
Paul that scoreline will do me fine!
Everybody.
Clippers/Spurs correct score. Go!
Spurs 107 – 102 clippers
Interesting paul!
I literally couldn’t guess a score if I had a gun at my head. My head hurts thinking about who’s going to win haha
Clippers by 30
lol it’s 90/1
AD im liking your tennis treble, going to add in Konjuh who had a good win over Bencic yesterday
Haha f*ck off picksix!
Jordan im going doubles stakes onit haha
Draft day Thursday aswell buddy will probably post a few prop bets tomorow
Already have Amari cooper first wr drafted @ 10/11 placed it after Kevin white performed well after they combine looks like coopers heading Oakland think he’s 4/6 now
I know mate never watched the draft before I’m getting hype! Watched the combine though, that Kevin White looks an absolute beast! Melvin Gordon is a good price for first running back drafted. Something tells me teams will be worried about Gurleys knee injury. Not going to place any bets myself. Just want to see who the Pack draft. I’m hoping for a first round inside linebacker.
So on the props n ht points
All we need is a game.
Least confident bout assist prop as only can get 7.5 as not with ladbrokes
20 minutes it’ll tip off mate. Bit silly to take it if I tipped 5.5 mate but good luck to you. What total did you get for Kawhi?
I know mate tbh it can drag a bit as you get a lot of guys hugging and s*it lol but still a great watch there’s always that suprise trade or pick aswell
Ye i can’t see gurley gettin picked ahead of Gordon because of that
Ye ive heard the cheeseheads are after a corner aswell as a linebacker be interesting to see who they draft
How long does each team get for their pick mate? Yeah I reckon you might see Gordon go to the Cowboys. 2/1 you can get Gordon first back drafted but its not for me.
Just seen my JJ Berea prop has gone from 23/20 to 4/6 @ Ladbrokes haha
Putting £10 on Al-Farouq Aminu (Mavericks) to score 15 or more points @ 4/1 @ Ladbrokes. Has started the last two games for Dallas at Small Forward and scored 15 and 16 in those two games.
Around 15 mins a pick in the first round mate 10 mins on the clock but by the time the commisioner comes out and announces the pick it’s around that
It’s gets faster in the later rounds but I don’t really watch past the 3rd round
3 assists in 5 minutes for JJ :D
Picksix I think I’m right in saying Sky Sports air the first round?
Houston Rockets 1Q DNB @1.57 WIN :D
Now just waiting on Rockets ML :D
Ye they show the first at least I think, no first round pick for the Hawks this year but can’t complain …
Jimmy graham
I know mate that is some addition. To be fair though I thought your tight end Luke Wilson played well towards the end of the season but he’s no Jimmy Graham!
Barea 5 assists, Aminu 8 points. Just need Mavs to stay within 10. It’ll be big payouts either way with that double Picksix :D
Ye I like Luke he will certainly be involved in some plays next season and as you said improved as the season went on
There letting the mavs back into the game hoping for a big 3rd
Feck htpoints wrecked by wretched ft percent of 20
Im more of a jinx than jimbob haha
Paul other than Harden and Brewer the Rockets are crap at the line! Don’t be so hard on yourself though mate haha, nobody is that bad.
Unlucky Paul nothing worse than loosing out by a point mate
Wheres mr assist. Hes gone off
looks likw prop bet is gonna be the only
WINNER!!!!
JJ Barea Over 5.5 Assists @ 23/20 **WIN** Finally! 5 in the first half and 6 going into the 4th!
Rockets by 11-15 @ 7/2 @ PP for cover (under the mrs account, cheers love). 16-20 @ 10/1.
There’s 8 assists paul
Putting £10 on Al-Farouq Aminu (Mavericks) to score 15 or more points @ 4/1 @ Ladbrokes. Has started the last two games for Dallas at Small Forward and scored 15 and 16 in those two games. **LOSE** 14 and fouled out!
Houston Rockets 1Q DNB @1.57 WIN :D

What do you guys think of 10/1 for maayweather fight not to go the distance? Floyd wins a lot.on points and.can.easily go 12 rounds but pacman seems to always get knocked down from what iv seen of him any input welcome
