THE Grand Slam of Darts winner will be crowned tonight and the day's first semi-final sees Michael van Gerwen looking to repeat his scintillating form of Saturday.
The world No.1 thrashed Kim Huybrechts 16-4 in a dazzling display and is 1-7 at the likes of Sportingbet and Unibet to KO Michael Smith.
Smith sprang a surprise by defeating Adrian Lewis but is as big as 6-1 at Marathonbet to stun MVG, who is 4-6 at Boylesports to hit the most 180s.
In the other semi-final reigning champ Phil Taylor is 2-7 favourite at Ladbrokes in his battle with Raymond van Barneveld, a 16-5 shot at Unibet.
The ATP Tour Finals get under way in London with Novak Djokovic – the 8-15 title favourite with Paddy Power – opening his glory bid against Kei Nishikori before Roger Federer takes on Tomas Berdych.
At the Snooker Champion of Champions Mark Allen goes for back-to-back titles when he faces Neil Robertson in the final and there's also the likes of F1's Brazilian Grand Prix and plenty of NFL action on a super Sunday of sport.
As always let's hear all your tips and chat here and on the forums.
Pachulia isn’t even attempting to score points, just my luck!
Doesn’t happen often but I think 365 have slipped up here. James Starks will be getting the starting role over Eddie Lacy against Detroit today. Paddy Power have his rushing total @ 77.5, Ladbrokes 70.5. But 365 have his total rush and receiving yards @ 82.5. He has been our key runner so far, but has excelled just as much catching the dump offs from Rodgers who has been going to his shorter reads recently. Deservedly so getting the start I think he can cover this total with fair ease. Detroit have not won in Green Bay in 24, yes 24 attempts. December 15, 1991 to be exact.
Starks may well get close to this total on the ground and can easily catch a pass and go the length of the field.
James Starks (Green Bay Packers) Over 82.5 Rush & Receiving Yards @ 4/5 @ 365 – 2.5 points
Zaza Pachulia (Dallas Mavericks) Over 10 Points @ 5/6 @ PP – 2.2 points **VOID** 10
Add;
Brandon Knight (Phoenix Suns) Over 18 Points
£5 returns £16.81 **LOSE**
£5 loss but the big bucks are on Ronda. Struggling to stay up but lets hope its a nice wake up!
Huggy just seen your comment of why I picked a Philly player on the other thread last night haha. I said because OKC give up points in the paint like its Christmas, and he proved why I picked him tonight. Highest game scorer against the Spurs. Just had an off night last night.
Can’t believe Zaza missed 4/6 free throws, really unlucky on the o10!
Still no harm done as its void, on your corners and Starks tips tomorrow!
Detroit Pistons +3.5 @ 1.86 (Bet 365) – 1.5 Points. – *LOST*
Pistons dominated the first half, and looked home and dry but..as unpredictable as the NBA is… fell apart and lost the plot it in Q3 and 4.
Still.. its been a good week.
Bounce back tomorrow!

Novembers Profit -15.6 Points
Few bets i’m on today:
SINGLES:
– Malcolm Waller Top Zimbabwe Runscorer @ $10.00 (T20i Cricket)
– Felipe Massa Top 6 Finish @ $1.83 (Formula 1)
DOUBLE @ $2.18 (Russian MHL hockey):
– SKA 1946 St Petersburg (-4.5) vs Dinamo Raubichi @ $1.73
– Loko Yaroslavl 60-min WIN vs Atlanty @ $1.26
Malcolm Waller scored 50 off 20 balls 2 days ago in the 1st T20i vs Bangladsesh and ended up with 60-odd runs. The next highest top score in the Zimbabwe line-up was about 20 runs. He was so impressive hitting 6’s and 4’s off every delivery and was the only Zimbabwe batsman that had the confidence to go after the bowlers. The traditional Zimbabwe names are all too short to take, but at $10 i have to put a few bob on Waller to do it again.
Felipe Massa has a point to prove after a less than desirable season, and after qualifying 8th I can see him making the top 6. His Williams is one of the quickest cars in Brazil, and i think both him and Bottas will finish in the top 6 but better odds on Massa so ill take him.
Dinamo Raubichi are bottom of table & cant win a match. They have been getting beaten by 5+ goals in more than half of their games (also by teams in bottom of table). St Petersburg are near the top of the table and at home I can see them scoring at will. Should cover the 4.5 goal handicap easily. Loko Yaroslavl should also easily beat Atlanty but i’m not sure they can cover the -2.5 so just doubling the straight win with St Petersburg to cover.
Also on this European Basketball TREBLE @ $6.39
– BC VITA Tbilisi (+39.5) Enisey Krasnoyarsk v BC VITA Tbilisi 1.87
– Under (150.5) CB Sevilla v Unicaja Malaga 1.83
– Over (156.5) Torino v Olimpia Milano 1.87
Havn’t got a write up for each, but even though the newcomers Tbisli are really bad, they have finished within 39 points against other teams of similar level as todays opponents – Huge line and ill take the carrot. Sevilla game should go Under based on trends, and Torino game should go over as it’s a must win for both teams which should mean points.
Also, just for fun i’m putting $1 on Felipe Massa to Win @ odds of $150! It’s his home track and he has won there before.
Great to see someone else getting involved in the Euro bball :) Good luck with your bets Attila.
Van Gerwen over 9.5 180`s 10/11 with skybet
Had this on last night at evens and won easily
Michael Smith is playing really well so i think this game could go the distance
Possibly 16-12 or 13 in favour of the Dutchman

Armani Milano @ Torino
Points Spread: Milano -9.5
Single @ 5/6 PP – 1.1 pts staked
Highest checkout score of over 139.5 at 5/6 in the MVG-Smith match for me. Came in yesterday and should come in again as MVG loves a big finish! Overs in the total legs in the Taylor-RVB match I reckon.
Flipping Spurs done me in last night , should have stuck with Curry , points and assists came in , every Spurs bet downed and otto blew the treble falling 5 short with a shoddy performance for the wizards.
4.5 point loss ..
Recover that with Euro and Hunter…
Points spreads did not work last night, although Pistons had everything ready at halftime they didn’t manage to hold and and Magics allowed 7 late points in the 4th quarter.
– Pistons +3.5 ** LOST **
– Cavs/Bucks over 194.5 ** WIN **
– Magics +5.5 ** LOST **
– Mavericks/Rockets under 209.5 ** WIN **
– Curry over 28.5 pts ** WIN **
slovan liberec , btts 1st half 12/5

SKA St Petersburg fell 1 goal short of the puckline. Finished 5-1 so the Hockey double is down.
Hate when it’s ‘only just’ a loss…I rather my bet get totally destroyed

WINNER !!! crushed it
Well done Huggy. Staying clear of betting on my team this season, they’ve looked a bit iffy so far.
Sevilla’s fast start might have downed my B’ball treble already. Slow it down boys!

Grand Slam Of Darts semi finals
Singles:
Smith vs Van Gerwin, Van Gerwin over 9.5 180’s 4/5
Taylor vs Van Barneveld, Taylor over 7.5 180’s 11/10
Double:
Smith vs Van Gerwin, Van Gerwin over 9.5 180’s
Taylor vs Van Barneveld, Taylor over 7.5 180’s
11/4
I would’ve liked to have taken the total overs 180 line at 5/6 but MVG has the ability to race ahead in games so its not always possible. Can see him easily reaching 10 180’s, especially as Smith will not just fold over accept defeat. He will get his own share of 140’s and 180’s and it should be a cracking fast paced match to watch.
I did say I would’nt be backing him in any capacity but against Thornton we saw the old Taylor. He posted a 104 average, hit numerous 180’s and took out a 167 finish. Barney hit four 180’s but thirty 140’s against Webster. It looked like Taylor had been putting in the practice on the board as he was finding the treble beds more frequently There has been previous between the two so there is a lot of pride at stake and I’d expect Taylor to be on top of his game and to smash the 180 line.

Darts
Van gerwen over 9.5 180s 4/5
– As said before, he rarely lets you down. Repeating what bullseye has already said but the match will be at a good pace and it will allow both players to flow.

Ticketyboo
Panthers -4.0 super single for me lads.
8-0 is excellent even for a very strong side.
From my uneducated perspective a world class Cam newton against a rookie QB Mariota is the difference.Irrespective of the fact Titans have a pretty decent defence.
2-6 for Titans is a poor record for any team.
2 from 3 on the BBall treble… Easy cover on Tbisli…had like 30 points spare! Unders at Sevilla did me in…

Afternoon gents. I’ve had to dodge all forms of social media al morning as I fell asleep before the fight. All I can say to that is wow. Perhaps the biggest upset in MMA history. Certainly in recent years. Shame she couldn’t do it 59 seconds earlier! I reckon you would have got around 50/1 for Holm to get a stoppage in round 2. Crazy stuff!

@lee-cunliffe!!!
Oakland -3! Mr Zimmer will be fuming hahaha
Like your picks mate more or less the same lines as me but I fancy Jacksonville to keep it close. Thought the +10.5 was a good price. Only games I’m unsure of if this week is the Tampa and Seattle games.
Ha ha I know mate just think we will have one eye on you men next week, not 100% how teddy is going to be and oakland got a good past rush so he could be bit unsettled. Hey if vikes win am happy but I’ll probably call that game spot on and have denver screw me. Paddy power for saints and rams to win as power play and philly and pittsburgh enhanced too both look good but did my bets before noticing them. Am taking the mrs to see spectre now hoping she let’s me control TV later for vikes, think I’ll buy her lots of wine so she falls sleep

And there’s the 8th 180 for Taylor bullseye.. Cheers for the tip mate ?.. Got all my money back plus a little bit extra after gerwen let us down…
No probs Filipino mate. MVG got 16 140’s and too many 134’s unfortunately but the final is going to be epic and there will be several markets to profit from :)
Bully …. wats ur Nap 4 the final ltr mate?
2 winners in the darts this morning. Over 139.5 finish in the MVG-Smith match as well as the overs in the Taylor-RVB coming in. Nice!
Well done bok
Well played Bok mate
Thx guys. Any ideas on the final? MVG has been so dominant so not sure about the overs. Might just take the highest checkout score again.

Glad to see the back of last week what a shocker!!!
We move on as they say
NFL
New Orlean Saints @ Washington Redskins
* Drew Brees over 304.5 Passing Yards @ 5/6 (Double Stake)
I would have expected around 330 yards his game total in this one so 304.5 looks a steal to me. Brees seems to be connecting with everyone atm and should easily get to this total in what should be a high scorer
Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers
* GB Packers – 10 @ 10/11
The season is over for the Lions and I think this will get nasty for them. The packers are not losing this one that I know but rodgers coming off 2 loses is a rare sight and they bounce pack in a big way here I feel. I can’t see the lions coming close
* GB Packers – 20.5 @ 3/1 (Half Stake)
Good luck gents
Andrew Wiggins (Timberwolves) 19+ Points @ 1.90 – 2.2 Points.
Wiggins last 4 games – 31, 33, 19 and 26.
Sorry odds are 1.83
Quite like Porzingis up against the Pelicans, not sure whether to take over 11.5 points or over 8.5 rebounds.
205 points seems high to me in New York , going under looks a good bet
Hi guys,
I’m looking for a really solid bet for the NFL at 6pm? Around evens thanks for any tips
NBA
New Orleans Pelicans @ New York Knicks
* Total Points Under 205 @ 5/6 ( Half Stake)
Both preety incostent scoring wise and you don’t get many high scorers at the gardens so 205 sounds good to me
Most aces least double faults and to win the match is 2/1 for Federer.I am certainly sticking with it.
On B.V
Knicks -1.5 im on
Nicolas Batum 15.5+ Points (Charlotte Hornets) @ 1.83 – 2.2 Points.
Batum’s last 4 – 10, 17, 24, 28.
LA Lakers 4.5+ @ 1.90 – 2 Points.
LA Lakers 4.5+ @ 1.90 – 2 Points.
Bet victor doing 6/4 on panthers, packers and patriots. Worth a punt
Best of luck lads!
Grand Slam Of Darts Final
The Slam is the only TV major that Van Gerwen is yet to claim. The prizemoney also contributes to the PDC order of merit so Taylor will know the importance of it if he wants to retain number three spot from Peter wright who is threatening to knock him into fourth place. These are my bets tonight:
Taylor over 7.5 180’S 5/6 **NAP**
Van Gerwen -3.5 4/5 **NB**
Highest checkout Van Gerwn 4/6
Taylor hitting 180’s depends on how well his first dart is thrown. As could be seen earlier, as the first dart went in low he was simply using it as a guide for the other two and he finished on 11 180’s.
This is the only major to evade Van Gerwin so its fair to say he’s going to do everything in his power to win it tonight. Taylor can have a tendancy of starting slow at times before reaching his optimal level and against Van Gerwin it could be costly. I can see Van Gerwin breaking Taylor’s throw at various crucial stages in tonights match. In last years final over the exact same distance, it finished 16-13 to Taylor over Chisnel. No disrespect to Chisnel but Van Gerwin is on another planet to him, and using that score as a guide, coupled with MVG’s checkout sucess, I think the handicap is enough to cover the win.
Both are capable of checking out big but MVG does it in the big moments. There is rarely a combination out that phases him and I feel if he gets the opportunity to take out say a 170 or a couple of 60’s and any other double, he will do it. He simply excels under pressure.
Prices with BET365
Good luck all
Well done on your nap bullseye!! Taylor bringing home the bacon again with his 180s haha.. All my money’s on Jordan’s Norway corner tip so wasn’t able to jump on it…all good though..
Cheers Filipino came in nice and early as well :)
Starks on 35 yards already with that one catch for 17. Hoping that it continues as he is nearly half way to that total @jordan already. As you said it only takes a couple of catches. Hope it continues. On all your NFL tips tonight :) good luck with everyone’s bets tonight. Cheers also to tungsten and bullseye. Won a few quid over the grand slam thanks to you guys. Bring on the worlds.

Great stuff Oriaz. Glad you followed. Would have done the same but couldn’t find a cover or a decent cash out. Betting was suspended just as Tenerife levelled things up. My heart was in my mouth those last two minutes! ?
Awesome win there Hunter!
Cheers bud.
wow great job hunter!
Cheers buddy!
Anybody watching this Packers game!? Crazy!! Not only have I witnessed the worst officiating crew in the world but just the way this game has gone. Will update bets in a bit. In other news, the Rams are sh*t. Starks bet has won but accas are down thanks to the Rams, main bet still alive.

Was just about to post Pistons -2.5 and Celtics +9.5 on the spreads for 13/10 but my strike rate on the NBA is pretty poor atm so trying to stick to Euro Basketball For now.
Good luck whatever you go for!
Huggy – what’s your DOUBLE you’ve just mentioned?
Congrats on ur Singles btw. Bring back the Huggy SS
I doubled em attila mate , only pennies , just didnt stick it on…
Ss might do
Oh right, got it.
Btw – who you liking on the 2 later games? I like Lakers ATS as they’ve been competitive lately…that or Overs. Not sure about Kings/Raptors
Doesn’t matter how confident you are in a bet. Humans make errors and ultimately decide your fate! Main bet looking dim with the NFL about as predictable as the lottery at the moment!
Hawks over 47 5 1st half points
WINNER !!!
3 FROM 3
Ooooh. Gronk with the big one over the top for a 76 yard TD! We’re back in it hahaha
AP with 203 yards on the ground! Somebody stop that man!
Nice one huggy. Makes up for last night.
Bloody spurs . Killed me
Waiting on Carson Palmer over 260.5 yards for a treble.
Took your advice Jordan by doing the Starks combined yards along with a speculative pick on Patriots to score in all four quarters. They have achieved this now in every game bar one (Week 1) and it seems good value at 11/8.
Any thoughts on Palmer?
Lynch will play for the Seahawks but probably not 100%. He usually destroys Arizona but weary of his total. @pick6 what do we think?
Can anyone tell me why bet365 says my James Stark bet lost over 82.5 rushing and receiving when he got 96 as far as I can tell
Robert, you’re talking about throwing against one of the best defences in the league at home. Can’t say to be perfectly honest mate. Not a bet I would have taken this weekend but hope it comes in for you.
Brady throws an interception in the red zone after a TD being pulled back for holding. Main bet looking dim once more. Somebody get me off this roundabout :)
Gary I can 100% clarify it won.
Cheers Jordan woke up to the money in my account. Just wonder if they would have paid me if I hadn’t queried it ?
Hornets over 116 . Loser
Good run over
Take 3 from 4
@Gary Rouse
Because Bet365 made a goof up.
I’ve already spoken to them – it will be corrected in due course (probably an hour or so).
Poor though – they only needed to add two numbers together
Thanks for clarifying that Pete.
My Starks bet on Bet365 is also showing as lost but I can see somebody else has been in touch with them. I will worry about it more if and when Palmer throws over 260.5.
Gary – my bet’s been corrected now. Assuming they correct the whole market your balance should be higher too now :)
Happy days ???
Last bet
Lakers pistons over 200.5
4 points
Good luck guys
Na, bet can’t win now. F*ck you and you sexy wife Mr Brady. I’m going to f*cking lose it on this sport.
New England Patriots -3.5
Cincinnati Bengals -2.5
@ 0.91/1 @ 365 – 10 points **LOSE**
Realistically it can still win but Pats only need a field goal to win the game so its basically over as they won’t take any chances. F*cking TD pulled back for a hold and then the interception has ruined it. My luck has been awful last couple of weeks.
pistons -3.5/over 199.5 pts.
12/5
Patriots for the Super Bowl. Book it!!
OMG what a win by the Pats. im still in shock. those f@#kin giants nearly did it again. the look on eli & coughlins face was priceless as Gostkowski kicked his 7th game winning kick. LEGEND! Cmon the Pats. Jordan i hope ur right mate!! Sorry bout ur main bet. It was a dubious call on that that TD pass & Brady missed an open Lefell and was picked off.
Im backing the seahawks at home with only -3 @ evens on paddypower. Its a must win game for seattle & the D will come up big. The crowd will be crazy in this massive rivalry match. The 13th man will make the difference here… Wheres the Chief gone…
One of the worst throws Brady has made this season mate. Typical when its on the goal line too. Tempted on Lynch yards but his injury has worried me a bit . Too many Skittles I reckon. That’s enough money down the bog for me today. Back to somewhere around 15 points profit now. Awful…
You also make a valid point about the chief. Haven’t seen him for a few weeks.
@winnerallright Edelmans injury will be interesting to see too. Looked as if he knew it was bad. P*ssed off with myself as I said Gronk will have a big game in my write up. Might stick to props next week.
@jordan
Feel your pain on the NFL mate , bankroll taking a big hit past 10 days
I’ve gone big , BIG I say on the seahawks @ 5/6 on the ML I am 95% certain To be precise lol of them winning
Beast Mode to run riot
Jordan I think his injury won’t be much of a factor, this is his stage division game against those dirty dirty cards. HUGE game this
GOOOO HAWKSSS
lets goo
i have climbed aboard the hawks train at -2.5 @evens
WAR HAWKS
Palmer should go under that high 260 total that seems to be set preety high
@winnerallright good choice backing that, I would already be deciding what to spend with the winnings mate ;)
Late B’ball Treble:
– Raptors ML
– Pistons ML
– UCLA ML
TREBLE pays odds of $3.32
@hunter brilliant mate!!! Well done
Didn’t post it before start (cos put it on last min) but I’m on Game double of Cardinals +4.5 & U45.5 @ $2.50
Just to be on the complete opposite of all you guys, haha (Seahawks have burnt me too many times!)
Not really a strategy to make friends Attila but good luck mate haha
Haha yeh. It was more due to Seahawks screwing me earlier in season. Us you know I love the Unders! :-P
^Plus
@pick6 I left it alone in the end mate but I can see Lynch starting another Beast Quake now haha
Might just put all the eggs in the Eifert basket tomorrow night. Have to break out the martingale system soon haha
@jordan, i really hope Edelmans injury is very minor. he is as tough as nails for a small fella. BUT if its a big injury its a big problem cause he really takes pressure off brady whenever Gronk is double covered. Fingers crossed he’s okay for next sunday. Whats happening with ur Packers! I dont care what anybody says…. Rodgers misses his buddy Big Jordy Nelson.
Don’t mate. It seems we need to go down by two possessions for Rodgers to start playing. Trouble is its always in the 4th quarter. Definitely missing Nelson but we still have enough tools to win. Especially against the sh*tty Lions! Huge game next week.
Maybe Aaron Rodgers watched the movie Southpaw too many times!!! ha ha. He finds the game too easy, so needs the buzz of a last qtr comeback.
Ha ha Picksix. Early to start spending winnings yet but that was a nice turnover there. A few nasty sacks on Carson might change things quickly.!!
***Posted Earlier***
***WON***
Just a small double on NBA today:
– Jazz +8.5
– Celtics +9.5
Pays odds of $1.90.
***both won outright, should’ve taken them at full spreads.
That is calamitous keystone cops football
Hey Jordan, I don’t understand why defence (all teams) constantly make interference (holding, face mask, etc) when they know they’ll get caught (umpires everywhere). Is it a fact of no brains or just strategy?
Attila don’t talk to me about interference calls mate. Not saying this as I’m butt hurt but the Packers game was the worst officiating crew I’ve ever seen today for interference. Not everything will be called. Its split second decisions from players really. Basically any contact without trying to play the ball is interference if its 5 yards past the line of scrimmage.
The scary side of NFL. Fingers crossed he’ll be okay
Winner alright completely agree mate let’s hope it’s nothing serious and it’s just precautionary
Does Russel Wilson have a future in NFL. A question to all NFL fans. Would love to hear peoples opinions.
I think he does if they are thinking of creating national lampoon does NFL
Terrible display from Wilson so far. Only one 1st down by half time nearly.
Can hear a pin drop at the Century Link!
just checked the score.
18-0…
so that’s lost already ffs, no more nfl from me.
I think the Cardinals +4.5
Leg of my game double is safe, I’m now concerned about the Under 45…Cards look like they’ll beat that on their own!
Mlac. Need to remember mate its just like any other sport. But realistically you have to look at the spread. 3 points is nothing mate. Basically the same as 0.5 in football or basketball. If the Cards win its not essentially an upset. They’re leading the division and have a much better offense. The Packers on the other hand. Now that’s upsetting. For a team favoured by double digits to lose outright is awful and I’m almost tempted to lump my arse on the Vikings next week. But knowing my luck they will turn up and beat them on their own turf.
@winnerallright. Its a tough one. I actually think he’s quite good but so many times its blamed on the QB when really the biggest factor is the offensive line. If he had players that could hold the rushers for more than a second he might not have to scramble. Then you have to look at the receivers. If they can’t get open then the QB is going to look bad.
Jesus Christ. I thought we’d had the toughest weeks behind us. Looking at next weeks games I’ve had to change my undies.
Titans +3 @ Jaguars
Redskins +7.5 @ Panthers
Raiders -1.5 @ Lions
Cowboys +1 @ Dolphins
Colts +6 @ Falcons
Rams +1 @ Ravens
Broncos -2 @ Bears
Chiefs -3 @ Chargers
Packers +1 @ Vikings
Bills +7.5 @ Patriots
Pick your poison gents!
That play is just a prime example of how corrupt the NFL can be. To me that is clearly a fumble. Without that punch he holds on to the ball.
Palmer already on 227 passing yards. Never one to count my chickens but I would have taken that total after 3 quarters. Fingers crossed for another 34 yards so I can go to bed ???
PETE CARROLLS FACE!!! I’ve exploded hahahahahaha
PETE CARROLLS FACE!!! I’ve exploded hahahahahaha
Hopeless officiating. They had 5mins to review it again and again and still couldn’t make a decision. Ball was fumbled, so clear
Pistons failing to show up again. If they don’t improve in 2nd half Im gonna regret changing my mind to take Lakers ATS
So many flaws in NFL ruling. Change them every year too. Clearly a catch, ball was punched loose, then picked up by Seattle.
Sh*t! Don’t suppose anyone knows what Rondos assist total was!?
Sakes. I was so wound up with my NFL losses that I completely forgot the Kings were playing. Said if Rondos assist total was anything below 10 to take it. He’s just got his 11th at the end of the 3rd…
Raptors awesome for the Arc in 2nd half. Should hold lead now
Useless Raptors! Three away 10 point lead midway thru 4th… F’sakes
Look at the shooting stats in lakers game.
Pile of cabbages..
1/9 , 1/4 , 0/3 .4/13 , 1/6
I could do better and im 3ft 6
Mlac will have a shock when he wakes up hahaha, what a turn around from the Seahawks.
Huggy do you know what Rajons assist total was?
Mate u know as well as i do , no more than 8.5 / 9.5 at a push.
Lets go big next time out
Got a feeling they’ll crack on by then. My 7.5 the other night went off at 10! 14 again tonight.
