ENGLAND are 4-5 favourites at William Hill to win the Six Nations after their successful start to their campaign.
Ireland are second favourites at 7-4 and the two sides clash on Sunday while the Saturday action sees France attempt to keep their Grand Slam dream alive when Wales visit Paris.
Les Bleus are 8-11 at Skybet the Welsh 16-11 at 888sport who make the draw a 20-1 shot.
In the earlier kick-off it's the battle of the wooden spoon contenders with Scotland 8-13 on the minus 9 point handicap at Paddy Power and visitors Italy 11-8 at Stanjames on the plus nine handicap.
At the Dubai Tennis Championships there's a final well worth watching as Novak Djokovic takes on Roger Federer. World No.1 Djokovic is 8-15 favourite at 888sport while Federer – who leads the head-to-head record 19-17 and has won two of the duo's last three meetings – is 7-4 at Coral to claim his seventh Dubai title.
In the Qatar Open Final it's Victoria Azarenka at 4-9 with Boyelsports against Lucie Safarova, chalked up at 9-4 by Coral.
England are in action at the Cricket World tonight and are slight outsiders at 11-10 with Betfair against a Sri Lanka side rated the 10-11 favourites by Paddy Power.

Good luck all today, I’m waiting for your tips, Ad!
Anyone know what happened to my man Ryan Harrison?! Takes the first set 6-4 against Ferrer them goes down 0-6, 0-6 in the next two!!
StAying off footie
Just doing a quid on all outsiders and acca too
Morning Ad any bets for today?
thanks
Hey Mac. I’ve not really had time to look into today much. I tipped Safarova to beat Azarenka last night @ 9/4. She’s 7/4 now which isn’t quite as enticing. A little bet on 2-1 Safaorva @ 5/1 might be the way to go. I also said Fed to beat Novak @7/4 looked worth a go for anyone who didn’t back him outright at the start of the week (I did). Again, 2-1 Federer at small stakes might be the way to go @9/2. it’s a low key day for me. Will be back with more tips for next week once I’ve had a chance to really look things over on Sunday night
thanks AD will have small go on few doubles
Red Devils, easy, without James and Irving haha
Oriaz I thrive on pressure haha, just kidding I was terrified after you said that yesterday! Cheers though and thanks Brian!
Not many prices up yet but I fancy the Suns chances at home to the Spurs tonight who have had a rest after beating OKC on Thursday. Will have something up after.
Frances Grand Slam hopes are dead as they were beaten by Ireland
Indeed Jordan, I knew they would be without Irving but I was lucky that James also missed out. Look forward to your NBA picks!

GJ Attila! Great profit!
Didn’t see your post tho … so I missed it :(
Anything for today?
Super Rugby Tips:
Bulls vs Sharks:
– My tip here is a NO BET. This could go either way, both the straight win & handicap markets.
Lions vs Stormers:
– STORMERS -4.5 @ $1.92
Stormers should win by a converted try at least, so I think the -4.5 is gold at just under Evens. The straight win is $1.54 and perfect to throw in any Acca’s.
Nice one Attila. You were unlucky with the heat yesterday as they were up 9 points at the start of the 4th. Those dreaded 4th quarter meltdowns!
Small stake on this if you’re following gents. The Phoenix Suns are on a days rest having beaten the Thunder at home on Thursday night. The Spurs really aren’t looking like the champions they are after picking up their first win in 5 since they break in Sacramento last night. They will be on the road tonight for the 6th time in 9 days. The spread started in favour of the Spurs -1 but has now drifted to the Suns -1. Phoenix play some of the fastest paced basketball in the NBA behind (2nd behind Golden State) and with the extra rest that may cause problems for the Spurs. The Suns have scored over 107 points in each of their last 5 with the Spurs only managing over 100 in 2 of their 5 road games.
Phoenix Suns ML @ 9/10 @ BV (5/6 @ Skybet, 20/23 @ PP)
You fancy them on the HT market to Jordan
?
ELLIS – Sam Hewson 2/1 to beat Jeff Smith in the darts tonight, do you fancy his chances?
Safarova set and a break up. Cover available. 9/4 to 1/7. Jobs a doozy!
Have them both on a double 2-1 , 2-1
@ 9/2 and 5/1
So a nice sweat on now lol
If only id have done 2-0,2-0 lol
Federer lands my ante post 4/1 tip earlier in the week
over to Almagro now to beat Monaco and make the final at 14/1 to ensure a good profit
Both good ante post tips de Niro. I was on Fed @ 4/1 and Almagro too. Traded him in for Monaco though. Make small profit if Almagro wins and lots if Monaco wins. No doubt I should’ve stuck with the original pick though. Almagro looking good and has a better chance of actually beating Rafa.
Ad
you transformation this last week as been superb,
I have been on a couple of your outsiders – both won
whereas I would nt back 1/3 on etc as a general rule,
Superb Matey – keep the Ad faith!!!
Cheers pal. Hopefully this week will prove similarly profitable.
Fed @ 7/4 and Safarova @ 9/4. Thank you very much laid back Saturday!
I haven’t been on today so I mised your Fed and Safarova tips today Ad, but great job. Also thanks for your outsider tips throughout the week, keep it up mate. I’ll be following still.
Pacers +5,5, easy! Good for me that i placed the bet before the odds changed.
Going to try some Premier League bets now, single : Stoke to win
WIN
and combo : United-Sunderland under 3,5 + Brom-Southampton under 2,5 goals.
WIN
My tennis bet is Monaco +1,5 sets. It worked out well for Harrison so let’s try it with Monaco now!
WIN
3/3, for NBA i will go for Jazz!
Peoples thoughts on the salford vs hull game later? Salford defence looks leaky hull defence looks very tight so total points could go either way..
one bet i do think there is value in is hull over 22.5 team points at 5/6 as mentioned before salfords defence has been battered this season and i think hull will fancy there chances of scoring a few
Hull over 22.5 @ 5/6
SO Close Monaco! 2 match points and then a double mini-break up at the start of the tiebreak. Momentum Almagro now…
Monacoooooo. Switched back on to see him go 0-40 down serving it out. If he’d lost it after the way he lost the second set i’dve been pretty upset!Couldn’t have been much closer De Niro. In Spain I reckon ALmagros winning that.
Ad ;-(((((((
Monaco smashes my 7/1 payout ;-((
Good call again pal – yes the south american factor,
Only 6 points from hull in the first half hoping for a big 2nd!
Anyone fancy Berlocq to stun Rafa @7/1. 2-0 @ 13/1…..
Gna have a low stakes go for a bit of fun an you never know with Rafa right now and Berlocq inspired at home
Berlocq is playing well, I hope he wins the tiebreak, i have hem @6/1 for first set…
No way.. 6-1 and he still lost it, can’t believe it.
What have I just seen?! 6-1 in th tiebreak and Berlocq blows it! Well played Rafa, but dear oh dear. Had a gimme to win it. Long way back now
Sri Lanka v England
Can’t wait to stay up till middle of night to watch England under perform can’t believe Sri Lanka are evens to win England are so disjointed at present. Bell doesn’t keep board ticking fecking ali to take risks, Taylor is our new Neil fairbrother but has been dropped down order to accommodate balance who doesn’t play in top 4 for Yorkshire never mind England. Morgan and butter not getting chance to do what they do as they in to early and can’t be explosive. As for the bowlers broad out of form, wakes not international class, Jimmy out of form, moeen average spinner at this level and I’d hit finn for 6 he is that erratic
leecunliffe, I’m rubbish at cricket betting but stuck a twenty on Sri Lanka earlier.
10/1 to win. Still got a chance.
And now he breaks 0-40, wow. Should i bet on him to win ?
Only a couple of quid. Nadals not going away any time soon. Tight spots, like that bloody tiebreak, he has the edge
Hull over 22.5 @ 5/6
**WON**
Panicked a bit at ht thinking hull had scored less than they actually had but glad to see them get the points needed!
As much as I think Sri Lanka to win is good value in can’t back against us so doing top performers bets
Top Sri Lanka bat jayawardne 10/3
Top England batsman Joe root 4/1 can see the next England captain knuckling down and getting a not out 60 ish here
Top England bowler finn 11/4 despite me slating him he has looked our more dangerous bowler on this tour with his extra pace and bounce
Top Sri Lanka bowler lakmal 11/4
Not a pitch for mendis and whilst malinga is dangerous I think England will be more cautious against him where as lakmal is consistently good
Btw, if anyone’s ever on a first set win bet and their player goes ahead in a tiebreak like that, cash out/cover. If you have a player to win a match and they go a set and a break up, cash out. These are general rules I strongly believe in, though they are of course not applicable to every match and every bet. Tennis is a sport where defecits can be overturned in the blink of an eye and players can come back from the brink before you know it. I’ve lost a lot of bets in the past riding it out and it’s just not worth it for the extra 10% profit or whatever it is. Winning money from a player that goes ahead but eventually loses the match makes up a decent part of my profit.
Are you betting on Sri Lanka then Lee
Hope am wrong mr f but can see you waking up with bit more cash in your pocket you boys scared us Monday once u picked up a few wickets and last day night match I stayed up for it was in bed before floodlights came on against Sri Lanka but just like I can’t back against man u I can’t back against England
leecuncliffe, from what I read England were rubbish first two games then beat a country with only 20 cricket players. Got to be Sri Lanka.
Ok you answered my question don’t worry
Vp I can’t mate I think they are a cracking price but can’t watch match hoping we lose hence am going for top batsmen and bowlers for some betting investment in believe u follow India mate so yes as a neutral I would back us to lose weight just have no confidence at present and if u have read Kevin pietersons autobiography about how monotonous and uninspiring Peter moores was as a coach is don’t believe he will get us out of this slum
I’m not betting on Sri Lanka either even though I think they’ll win but I’ve done top team batsman and bowler bets like you. Haven’t read his autobiography but I know it caused waves. I think Hales and Bopara should be playing as they offer so much more in ODIs than Bell and Ballance
Atilla any bets you like for NBA ?
Mr f if your playing a day night match and you get beat before the floodlights come on then you know there is something wrong, definitely some patriotic betting going on like when England are 8/1 to win football tournaments and are 33/1 in other countries
Sorry Mac I haven’t researched today’s card. I’ve been busy on my Aussie Rules & Rugby research. Just going to play Jordan’s tips when he posts them, and Huggybears if he does. I’ll research NBA during the week, but not got time on weekends now.
**Posted Earlier**
Lions vs Stormers:
– STORMERS -4.5 @ $1.92
**LOST** – Sorry guys, as Stormers only won by 3. Hope some took my advice to take the straight win @ $1.54 to use in an Acca.
Vp I don’t mind bell in there as he is a class batsman that can bat through and bopara has has had so many chances over the years and reminds me of mark ramprakash who just can’t it done on national level and his bowling is like mark ealham. I 100% agree that hales should be in at number 3 to give us some impetus
I wanted to cover Ad, but everything was ‘grey’ so I couldn’t do anything…
Yeah that’s fair enough mate, it just reminded me that’s a point Ive been meaning to make on here for a while and seemed like a good time to do it!
Think eng will finish at 295 11/4 290 to 320
THen sri lanka will finish o 294.
Ok all out here
80 on eng 290 to 320 returns 300
ere goes
Evening gents been out all day so back to a night of chasing losses thanks to Bournemouth and Blackburn :D
Brian about your HT query. My theory on HT bets is they give us markets that gives us a chance right up until the buzzer, so why risk losing a bet a HT. For the price of the Suns ML I’ll take it. Which looks to have been shortening anyway with the spread now at -1.5.
Hales would have to open so it would have to be Hales and Bell then Taylor 3 because I still don’t think Opening is Alis game he’d be better lower diwn
Getting out like that is why
I do Shotty
Do people think Sri Lanka can still win this after Englands great start?
Shotty, it’s a good start but wickets falling now.
It will go to last over shotty
On Suns Jordan! Something you like Huggy?
I’ve done a 2 points play on the following NBA acca:
– Warriors
– Pacers
– Hawks
– Mavericks
– Raptors -4.5
5 FOLD pays $3.00.
Good to hear i feel as soon as one or two wickets fall for england the rest will crumble! I took Sri Lanka at 6/4 after Englands fast start so could work in my favour
Warriors and Pacers both play tomorrow. Didn’t realise sorry
I agree mate about hales he should open for us but I’d like see Taylor 3 root 4 which would push ali down to 5
Sri Lanka can chase over 300 on this pitch we need 320 plus to give England a good chance
Eng will struggle to reach my 290 target now.
Heres hopin.
Still think this will be a very tight game
For those looking at NBA be wary on the Hawks, they’re dropping to -2 supposedly resting more players than expected and only just announced recently.
a +9 Pistons and +11 nets double looks good at 1/1.4?
Shaun is right.
Atlanta will have no Teague, Horford or Antic tonight. Bookies still have them as favourites but I wouldn’t be so sure.
Whiteside could dominate this one.
NHL: NY Rangers to win vs Philly Flyers 2.35
Rangers look very motivated at the moment and would like to repeat the same successful run in the Stanley Cup Play-offs as they did last year when they reached the finals.
Official Hawks Line Up.
PG Dennis Schroder
SG Kyle Korver
SF Kent Bazemore
PF Paul Millsap
C Elton Brand
You’d be surprised how good of a PG Schroder is but the Heat will still have a chance with Wade, Dragic, Whiteside, Deng and Haslem as the starters. No Kyle Lowry for Toronto either.
Suns are 4 for 27 from the field. Yay!
Writing this off halfway through the 2nd quarter! Sorry lads. Can’t amend for them shooting 20%
