CHRISTMAS is just around the corner and it's time to kick back, relax and enjoy that special festive extravaganza – the World Darts Championship at the Ally Pally.
Drunken punters in daft fancy dress, 180s, nine darters and drama galore are guaranteed at the sport's showpiece and new sponsors William Hill are expecting to take a record-breaking £10million in bets during the course of the epic tournament that starts today and runs until January 4.
Unsurprisingly, Hills make 16-time champion Phil Taylor their 2-1 favourite to reclaim the title he last won in 2013. Michael Van Gerwen, the reigning world champion, is 11-4 to successfully defend his crown while last year’s runner-up Peter Wright is available at 40-1.
Other big contenders include Player’s Champion Gary Anderson (13-2) and the two-time world champion Adrian Lewis (12-1).
There are four matches to kick things off tonight – with Van Gerwen, fellow Dutchman Jelle Klaasen and John Part in action – and all first-round and outright odds are included below.
Today's sporting schedule also features international Test cricket, NBA basketball and NHL ice hockey plus German Masters snooker and Australian Open tennis qualifying.
Good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.

The Bears bench Jay Cutler!
With Detroit coming to Chicago on Sunday might I add. Asking for trouble there against one of the best defence! Detroit tied with the Packers in the NFC North on .714 PCT. Packers at Tampa Bay on Sunday, safe to say they are probably going to win, and then Detroit go to the Lambeau in week 17. Huge game if Detroit can go into it tied with the Packers! I’ll be whacking Detroit in the Bets this weekend by the looks of things after that result for the Saints in Chicago on Monday, with Cutler benched!? Yes please!
Bunting EW?

$$$$$$$ winner $$$$$$$
Gbjefr, well done. That was a nice treble. Didn’t get on myself but will look out for your future posts.
bunting we @ 22/1 has to be the value bet
*EW
Bunting, Wade, Lewis, Whitlock, Barney along with in form King, Huybrechts and young guns Keegan Brown and Michael Smith are all in the same half of the draw. On paper it looks an easier draw for MVG or Anderson (would meet in the semi’s) so 11/4 on the current champ looks good enough for me. You will also be able to trade back come semi final time when he will be a far shorter price.
*In the same half of the draw as Taylor!
bloody typical , as posted earlier , celtics cover easily / jazz as i said was generous and proved to be / and i agreed cavs would go ova and all 3 were right.
and where did i go ? spurs and they draw in regulation time to a 3 point buzzer buster . GUTTED !!
anyone see the stats ? 13 from 27 at the free throw line and that cabbage tim duncan hit 5 from 15.
get an practice free throws you arseholes….
think i`m gonna keep my nba thoughts to myself as i dont like the thought of people following and losing money.
good luck all , ATTILA keep up the good work.
Huggy, keep posting mate! You got 12 naps from 15 right? So anyone following should have nice profit. Can’t win em all huggybear. That buzzer buster screwed up my Double with Jazz…so annoying.
Only 4 games today, which makes me less anxious in choosing bets. I’ll post later – gonna try and keep game plan a bit simpler though.
Attila the boss followed your tips and made some profit thanks mate
Terry the bull jenkins 100/1 value bet
For a bit of interest in the snooker (starts in 20mins), I’ve taken the following 4 fold at EVENS:
– Fu, King, Holt & Morris.
Having a small bet on the first dart to be thrown in the match.
Each match is priced up around
6/4 for Treble 20
4/6 for Single 20
8/1 for ANY OTHER
Tonight
Part v Brown – OTHER @ 8/1
Klaasen v Kist – OTHER @ 17/2
Van Gerwin v Cullen – OTHER @ 17/2
Tomorrow
Hamilton v Richardson – OTHER @ 15/2
Wright v Price – OTHER @ 15/2
Taylor v Artut – OTHER @ 8/1
Stake is £10.23 in total
14p HEINZ
15p Doubles
If 2 of these land the minimum return is £20.95
3 – £156.36
I’d be delighted if 3 came in, 2 is a realistic target which would see me double my stake.
I’ve placed four of these bets (Thurs/Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon/Tues) on the games bet365 are offering odds on. Total stake is £41, a double landing in just 2 of those bets would see the stakes returned at the very least.
Al why woul a player throw a double in first throw of match? No one will
Can anybody see past or persuade me otherwise on the following to win their 1st round games ………..
Van Gerwin
Phil Taylor
Terry Jenkins
Dave Chisnall
Adrian Lewis
Ignore the odds for now. I just want people’s views on potential banana skins to avoid.
Wish I would have stayed with my initial tought, dallas, atlanta and celtic instead of that I went for dallas and spurs and 1-1 for the night.
Ernie, I think he means a double landing as in two of them happening and at least a double wins, so a 1 or a 5 thrown first dart in at least two of the matches.
Correct VP.
All that is needed is the first dart in the match not to hit the 20 section. Any other section or a bounce out would mean a winner.
When I mentioned a double landing what I meant was 2 out of the 6 selections winning, which would mean I had a double up on the heinz, and double bet placed.
Or getting 2/6 in the 4 heinz bets placed would see the total outlay returned. 3/6 or more in any of them would see a return of around 4 x the total outlay
Vijay, they all should win and probably will.

Btw – will post NBA tips couple hours before 1at game…heading to bed now.
TNF NFL.
Two of the worst teams in the league this season sees Tennessee’ 2-12 Titans come to Jacksonville to play the 2-12 Jaguars. Although both terrible records this game will mean something for the teams as it’s a chance to get ahead of the division rivals and save the embarrassment of finishing bottom of the AFC South with two games remaining. Think home field has the advantage and the Jags should win but I can’t put money on a team with a record like that to win, so I’ll look for value somewhere else (may prove difficult).
Teams are terrible at both rush and the pass but surely there has to be one team that performs better tonight? Jaguars running back Denard Robinson is out with a foot injury for the season with a right foot sprain so the 5th year running back Toby Gehart will take his place. Gerhart started in place of Robinson last week in Baltimore and managed 54 yards from 13 carries, nothing to boast about but the Ravens are 3rd in the league at the run defence so you can cut some slack on him. Titans rank last at the run stopping, and with QB Blake Bortles nursing a foot injury, I’m hoping that Gehart has a big game as they look to him to carry the ball for the most part.
Toby Gerhart (Jaguars) over 50.5 rushing yards @ 5/6 @ PP
Small stakes as there isn’t much interest in this one. Still deciding whether I’m going to waste my time watching two 2-12 teams play tonight.
I’m gonna go for a slightly risky double in the darts tonight but should come good
– k. Brown 4/11-
– kist 1/1 –
£10 brings £27.27 @ hills
Bulls -7.5
Kings -2.5
Rockets -1.5
Pays just over 2.5/1 with skybet
Any thoughts?
Brown -1 to hit more 180’s at 11/10 with Skybet. Power 180 scorer and Part is more interested in joining commentary team. Double with Klaasen over 3.5 180’s at 4/7, Klaasen another power 180 scorer and in a game that will have plenty of legs played looks a shoe in. Plenty of value in the ‘alternative markets’
Scotta, totally agree about Brown
Darts World Championship bets
The Worlds get underway tonight, and I cant wait. For me it is wide open, MVG lack of form as seen Phil Taylor move into favouritism in the past couple of weeks.
For me I narrowed the field down to six potential winners, the strength in depth is better than its ever been but I doubt we will see a shock finalist like Kirk Shepherd a few years back. The six are Taylor (2/1), MVG (3/1), Lewis (12/1), Anderson (6/1), Wade (16/1) and Wright (40/)
I think most people know I am a massive MVG fan, and I will be on him despite his recent blip in form. Taylor should cruise to the semi finals, I cant see anyone in his section stopping him, Whitlock is badly out of form and King is suffering with various injuries. Anderson looks really good and been the form player of the season for me, winning his first PDC major will have his confidence sky high, he was around 16/1 before that win to become world champion but the value as gone. Lewis was my Each way bet at 16/1 but I am not happy with the draw he as found himself in but I think he can still have a run here. He will have to do it the hard way with a last 16 match against RVB but Lewis as won this twice and the bigger the match the better he usually plays. Wade has done enough in tv tournaments this year to get back into premier league, but as never delivered at the worlds he is in the toughest section and will play Bunting in round 2. Wright was runner up here last year and at the halfway stage of the premier league he was top, since then he hasn’t done a great deal my got a nice draw to get him going before a quarter final showdown with Gary Anderson and probably MVG, although MVG could face Jenkins in the quarters who as beat him last two games. Wright for me is worth a small interest.
The 9 darter are being hit with regularity these days, and its odds on we see one over the next couple of weeks. Last year we saw two in one day by players you may not of thought would Terry Jenkins & Kyle Anderson. MVG hit 17 perfect darts in one match against Wade. I think the 5/2 is worth a bet to see 2 or more at this years worlds.
There are plenty of specials worth a couple of quid on player to hit 180, these can be found under the nine dart specials tab. MVG is 5/1 to hit one Taylor 6/1 but two players I like who when they flow would give me a run for my money at small stakes for big returns are Dave Chisnall 22/1 and RVB 33/1. Both should have at minimum 3 games possibly more and both heavy scorers.
Outright
MVG TO WIN 3/1
Outright Each Way
LEWIS TO WIN 12/1
WRIGHT TO WIN 40/1
Special bets
2 OR MORE 9 DARTERS 5/2
Nine darter specials (small stakes)
CHISNALL TO HIT 9 DARTER 22/1
RVB TO HIT 9 DARTER 33/1
William Hill are the sponsors and all odds are with them
Enjoy a fantastic couple of weeks of darting drama.
Good luck if your having a bet
john part to win against a young inexperienced keegan brown at 21/10 is worth a few quid tonight! thank me later
Hi Scotta / Guys,
Any other tips for the 180’s etc for tonight ?
Thank you
Fish
The Chief I know nothing about darts love to watch it with a beer great crowds and always a lot of fun and I followed your bets this time last year and I will do so again as its a great sport to watch for a few pound stakes . Cheers mate and best of luck
The Chief,
Thank you for the info and noted.
Regards
Fish
Darts bets Day 1
The opening round of the worlds are always tough to predict and find some value. The Dutch battle of former BDO world champs is the standout game and you can get evens on both players with different firms, it is a genuine 50-50.
I think it will be close and if Klaasen hits is doubles he as a real chance, one thing Klaasen does well is pepper the lipstick and I think we will see plenty of maximums in the match. The line is set O7.5 evens at Paddy Power and if the match is as close as most think there could be plenty of legs for the bet to land.
The bookies make Kist the favourite to hit the most 180s, however I think Klaasen could edge this at 13/10 Bet365. The draw beat this bet too so DNB is 5/6 however the overs is my main bet, but will have a bit of 13/10 as I believe Klaasen if on song could hit 5 or 6 and hopefully land both bets.
O7.5 MATCH 180s 1/1
KLAASEN TO HIT THE MOST 180s 13/10 (small stakes)
Good luck if your having a bet
Danny cheers mate, love the darts it is officially Christmas now :)

Tnf nfl jags v titans
First off Jordan I am not expecting min by min updates tonight this could be a long night for anyone staying up to watch, why this game is on TV is beyond me but u can only bet on what is put before u. Jordan Toby gerhart is the vikes former back up to Adrian Peterston and is a bit of a plodder to be honest reminds me of matt astasia who has hardly done much for us this season. Couple of small bets tonight I do fancy jacksonville to come out on top but not by much.
Jacksonville -2.5 to win 10/11
Jacksonville to win by 7-12 pts 9/2
Allen hurns anytime scorer 7/5
Jags special teams/defence td 7/2
Good luck and I mean good luck staying awake tonight
Was looking back on my pre nfl tips earlier which I did post on here back on July 30th I am waiting on pittsburgh to win division for a nice 8/1 name the division winner 4 fold and a nice 20/1 on Andrew luck to be top passing yards. Granted I put couple shockers in my tips ie zac Stacy top rushing yards 33/1 but it’s going be nervous couple weeks that could start the new year off with a bang.
Gl tonight
Lee I know he’s no Murray/Bell but to get 50 yards against the Ravens is fairly good for a Jag, so 50 against the Titans shouldn’t be a problem. Plus Bortles injury, might not be feeling too comfortable throwing but you never know. This could be a worse game than the Cardinals/Rams. Almost went for total sacks but thought it was a bit high at 6.5 and I can’t back the Jags to win.
The Luck bet looks to be a good one, even with all his recent INT’s! Hope the Steelers can pull off the division win for you mate. I’ll be getting involved in some of those next season.
Keegan Brown to win match, hit most 180′s and have highest checkout. 100 GBP @ 2/1

Any tip for the NBA tonight ?
Sam, something tells me you either have a problem, or you really love darts.
Not sure which it is mate :D
Small EVS double on the NBA as I think I’m going to be so bored watching the NFL I my have to switch over.
Bulls
OKC
Both over 98.5 points @ EVS @ WillHill
Was tempted on OKC ML with KD and Westbrook both back. Huggy, Gotti, look ok?
Knicks bulls ova 190.5 ….
Tonights only nba bet 4 me …. stoopid spurs done me a wedge
Jordan . Surely both will hit that target . Looks safe
might have a crack myself
Cheers Huggy. Is that total tonight’s NAP?
As long as you make profit, wheres the problem Sah?
I really like the look of that double jordan, on it :)
good luck guys
Gbjefr great wee treble on the over last night! Any tips tonight? Cheerz!
Based on my experience, which isn’t that impressive to be fair, I just feel that Darts is one of the most unpredictable sports.
Perfect example was MVG tonight and his handicap bet. Fair play if you’re making money mate, not an issue then. Just remember level stakes and don’t chase losses :D
NFL Jags to cover the -3 handicap. Can’t believe I’m actually backing Jags….
Seems am the only one missing atilla tips?
Were is Attila I have been waiting on ur nba tips brother
Come on Attila get your tips up! We need a wee double to kick start our weekend fore Xmas! Lol
Jordan trying like f**k to put ur double in bet365 can’t seem to find it bro ??
David unfortunately I believe on WillHill does alternative team points totals but I could be wrong mate.
Jordan u watching match mate, can’t imagine many scores but hopefully my boy can get one, could be one of those games that send u sleep in first quarter or has 2 teams who don’t give a toss and will go for it. Pittsburgh got cincinatti last game in what could decide my pre season bet but can’t cover it as baltimore in with chance too, same with luck bet he is winning now with about 80 yards but 3 or 4 guys can catch him so looks like I’ll have ride both bets out
Gonna try a Jax Jaguars (-6.5) & Chicago Bulls (-13) double @ 3.5/1 Jordan mate i think ur right about nfl, i cud end up watching mostly nba tonight!!!
For what its worth . Im on pelicans +4.5
Good luck guys ..
NBA TIPS:
Bulls by 8 | Knicks cover +13.0
Thunder by 4 | Thunder cover +2.5
Kings by 7 | Bucks cover +7.5
Rockets by 2, Pelicans +4.5
NAP: Thunder +2.5 @ $1.92
SAFE 4 FOLD: Knicks +21.5, Thunder +11.5, Bucks +15.5, Pelicans +15.5 @ $2.00/EVENS
HANDICAP 4 FOLD: Take the 4 handicap tips above @ $13.59 or perm any 3 and all 4 to get your stake back if 1 leg fails.
NOTE: not real confident on any today…not a great card and bookies seem to have all the lines about right. Good luck guys!
***I did a handicap TRIXIE of Pelicans +4.5, Knicks +13.0 & Thunder +2.5 @ $4.50.
Trixie reduces the odds, but gets your stake back if 1 leg fails.
Note I think the Bucks/Kings game is a bogie and best to avoid.
Hey Lee goodluck with ur Luck yrds bet (20/1 Nice). i remember u telling me ur thoughts before season started. i backed Brees @ 7/2!! Still a slight chance thanks to his 375yrds against the bears. Exciting finish in prospect!
Huggybear what makes you think the Knicks game will make the overs?
@Attila n huggybear… Thanks for ur ” NBA “tips yesterday… Hope u saw my comments in yestady’s thread.. Anybody willing too risk total points bets ?? Advice guys pls
Thinking of the ffy::
rockets ov 201
okc ov 210
Milwaukee un 204
Chicago ov 192
ur thots.. Thanks
Anase, not sure mate I havnt looked at total points for today’s games.
Lee I’ll watch it mate. I actually think this will mean a lot to the teams both being on equal PCT and a division game. I think it might be Big Ben who ruins your 20/1. Maybe not KC but he’ll do some damage against the Bengals! Both home games too! Looking forward to Le’Veon’ yards for that last one too.
WA good luck pal I’ll be sticking to the NFL unless we’re 0-0 at HT haha
Knicks 190.
Seems low… no cert my amy means
Still finding this Cutler business a bit crazy. What’s the point? Season is over. They pay him enough too! He’s taken it well to be fair, or at least seems to be.
Guys who know me wI’ll know I don’t normally do the I placed this etc after the event but I did over 5.5 180,s and the Spanish lad to win so u am buzzing now I wouldn’t have tipped it but I am so happy and want to thank you guys as this thread is better than the footy thread at the minute as everyone is arguing about stupid things
Hear hear Danny mate and well done! Don’t get arguments on this thread and it’s actually good for conversing rather than just the tips. Take your shoes off though I’ve just hoovered!
PP have raised my Gerhart yards by 4 so hopefully a good sign. 4 yards isn’t a lot but you’d be surprised how often you can lose by 1-2 yards in prop bets.
Jordan as always mate your a gentleman . I don’t normally get involved in other sports but I do like the darts. Who would have thought a United fan and a Liverpool that don’t argue with each other lol
Haha it’s funny I was actually thinking that the other day mate. You and Shaun T are the only two Liverpool fans I seem to get on with and that’s even with the fans in Guernsey. I think it’s because we tend not to look through our history specs, but the present, and that’s good when fans can actually admit if their teams aren’t performing like we have done on many occasions this season. Confident on my boys this weekend though ;) True gent yourself mate and well done on your winner.
Been searching for team sacks everywhere for TNF but I’m not sure if any bookie does this market. If anybody can shed some light I wouldn’t mind hearing it. Adding a bet to my Gerhart yards. Over 5.5 total sacks @ 4/6 @ BV/365
Oh I realise when we are at a low ebb and I am happy to admit it I have had plenty of practice over the past 25 years lol. I just like to call things as I see them and I believe that we both do that as accurately as we can which I believe also helps others with the betting side of things . Good luck tonight mate with your bets
NFL Titans @ Jags
The game nobody want to win as the loser takes a step closer to the number 1 draft pick. Both 2-12 and titans have lost their last 8 games. The reverse fixture ended 16-14. Jags d should get after Charlie Whitehurst in particular Telvin Smith, which could stall the titans offence and lead to decent field positions. It could be a tough watch but O3.5 field goals at 5/4 Ladbrokes is were I am heading.
I can back any team with a 2-12 record and Blake Bortles as a sprained foot, he will need to hand the ball of but the Titans should fill the box, my prop bet on the game is Cecil Shorts O47.5yds 10/11 Skybet. We don’t know how Bortles is going to be throwing the ball, but he short passes to shorts with his speeds he could make plays with YAC. Touchdowns may be at a premium tonight so I will have a small bet on him to get the 1st touchdown at 10/1 Various and as anytime scorer at 7/4 William Hill
O3.5 FIELD GOALS 5/4
SHORTS TO SCORE 7/4
Prop Bet
SHORTS O47.5yds
1st Touchdown scorer
SHORTS 10/1
Good luck if your having a bet
I am having gehart anytime touch down at 23/20 not a tip as I am not as up in the sport as some guys but basic research says it has a chance
Here we go the TNF intro! Love it! Prob not the best game to join in on Danny mate but everything has chance! Chief if it wasn’t for his injury I would have gone with Bortles rush yards himself. All the best boys. Look at those Jacksonville Roar girls ;)
after ur comment Jordan about total sacks. i reckon over 5.5 is a good bet. Im adding a small bet of Jags to score a D/ST Td @7/2. goodluck everyone
The chief glad your on do you think my gehart has a chance anytime ?
Good action at the darts tonight a sudden death shootout on the opening night. Disappointing with Klaasen has he hit 2 maximums yet hit four 174s losing my maximum bets, but it worth remembering for round 2.
Danny he is probably the best of a bad bunch tbh, two bad sides cant see many touchdowns, 4 was the line at paddy power at evens but I just don’t like doing unders.
Jordan I told my missus this is a big game, the reality is the Jags have the hottest cheerleaders in the NFL and can hold my attention at least till end of the 1st QTR :D
HAHAHA I was thinking to myself who your favourite cheer girls were and I had it feeling it was the Roar. Some lovely ladies, hopefully the game is a sleeper and we just get some close ups for the duration :D
Cheers chief I did notice the cheerleaders they are hot I need to go to America and use my charm
Not a chance of knicks game over190. Those two knock lumps outta each other. Yal be lucky to see 180
paul . i`m not a pro but did think both were capable of getting 95 ish each , as it turns out i was right.
glad they did it comfortably and a few were on .
16 from 19 ain`t bad , i know a little bit.
Titans first touchdown on the opening drive in over a year, knew this would be a shootout haha! Whitehurst looked like Brady back there.
I like Kansas cheerleaders, their cheer goes Give me a C H I E F ;) I am just one guy, girls!
Haha I’m sure you’d give them exactly the chief they wanted mate!
I was thinking exactly the same thing about Whitehurst and his hillbilly tash. Really think I’m gonna have to save up and go watch a game next year. Going to be difficult telling it to the misses though when she’s expecting an engagement ring soon :D
haha, yeah good luck with that mate, my best suggestion is Ebay and quote the divorce rate in this country may put her off or at least buy you time till you win the lottery :)
There is the sack hopefully some decent field position for the Jags
Pahahahaha that’s a good idea mate. Either that or a Haribo ring. Can’t complain. Sure I’ve counted 3 sacks already but it’s not showing it on the stats online.
Jordan I am not thinking about sacks when I see the cheerleaders lol
Hahaha I hear you Danny but I have to think about sacks when there’s money involved. Sacks for everyone! Those Roar girls would most definitely be getting sacked. All at once!
Gerhart breaking tackles go on son! 5 total sacks too. Bets looking good.
Still early days but so far looks like Knicks & Pelicans both for it to cover the + handicaps…fingers crossed.
TD Jags Mercedes Lewis. Titans 10-7 almost HT.
I take it Sam is now skint,I think the stakes he was quoting suggest he has a gambling problem, or money to burn.
Do We don’t need to know how much he stakes ?
Surely the odds will do, then we decide to follow or not
Gehart yeeeaasaaaaa
Posted on the wrong thread then! Nice one Danny mate! I knew that was it when I saw the line up for the play!
Hows it going Danny? Havnt seen ya for a while. Enjoying the darts I see :-)
Jordan it’s safe to say that’s beginners luck mate but happy with that like
Hey atilla I have been mainly on the footy thread but darts and now American football have given me a pleasant evening. I do like the darts I watch it every year but the American football pick was a fluke so quitting whilst ahead on that lol. How’s things with you mate ?
A winner is a winner Danny whether you’re new to it or not.
Jordan thanks mate it will be my one and only one as its not a sport I tend to get involved in but cheers mate
Hey yeah congrats on that mate. I lost my entire pot twice on footy/soccer in the past month (about $1000 in total) so had to focus on something a bit more rewarding for a while. Found NBA quite profitable so have been focusing on it…doing pretty well, no massive stakes though cos im building my pot back up, lol.
Atilla you’ve built a following in the nba I am sure you will come good mate as always best of luck
Over 5.5 sacks @ 4/6 **WIN** 3rd quarter
Blake Bortles has rushed for 40 yards with a damn sprained ankle! Knew it should have been a gamble. He’s 2 yards behind Gerhart haha
Danny mate I knew nothing about NFL until about 5 games into the season and I’m hooked. Love it.
Hahahaha ooooooh matron!
Well in sacks came good (Kenneth Williams Snigger)
NHL (low stakes) Double for interest:
Sharks ML & Kings ML @ $2.27
Anybody still alive on my NBA EVS double can cover OKC under 98.5 @ 9/4.
Cheers Danny. So far so good, Knicks have covered EASILY (should have been my NAP!), and Pelicans looking like they’ll cover as well.
At WillHill obviously
Shoite! Gerhart with a rib contusion. Questionable return.
Nice 1 huggybear. was on ur nba tip of over 190.5 bulls/knicks. cmon jags & mainly gerhart. 1 nice run. its funny how easy murray/bell & blount make it look. ;-)
Congrats Huggybear, the OVERS bet breezed in in the end. As I said mate, keep posting your tips, you’re good at picking the best game to bet on out of the daily card.
Probably more down to the offensive line WA but Murray and Bell are in a league of their own this season. If Jackson stop the drive they should run the ball to wind the clock down. Hoping they use Gerhart. Just my luck when Bortles and Sankey were both under 40 yards rushing. Sacks are in so a bit back if he doesn’t make it.
Jackson? Jags* Which they have. Now run that ball Toby!
Oh ffs Todman comes in and goes 62 yards for a TD hahaha
Jags 21-10
Looking like my main pick ( and yours ) p**sed it , pelcans plus 4.5 .
So my double up !! Needed that after the free throw missing SPURS of yesterday…
thats about 14 from 17 naps ( 15 if you include ova in the knicks )
Hope u all made money
Good stuff Huggy, knew it was just 1 bad day yesterday…keep it up mate!
Bucks are up for it today and OKC Thunder out to a flyer. Hopefully i’ve my first full house today :-)
Nice tipping on the hoops boys OKC coming out hot too. KD back is massive for them. Going to switch it over when the NFL finishes.
The way OKC have come out i’ve got them over 64.5 team points in the first half
72 points in the 1st quarter in Warriors/Thunder game! Wish i’d looked into that one more for points….jeez, might top 220 game points, would have been some good odds on that.
Toby Gerhart (Jaguars) over 50.5 rushing yards @ 5/6 @ PP **WIN** 53
Knew I should have stayed away from NHL. LA Kings down 0-3 to the Blues…not even first break yet
Marks gets the sack on the last play of the game for his 600k bonus!!! Jaguars 21-13! 8 sacks in total, Gerhart gets his yards. 2/2 on TNF? Shocker! :D
OKC 40 points in the first quarter, think I can safely go to bed with the EVS double running. A fine night on the other sports thread! No drama and no booms! Magic!
OKC with a SHOCKING 2nd quarter…from 17 up in the 1st to 8 down in the 2nd. Big turnaround required in the 3rd if they’ve any chance.
Don’t believe how bad OKC are playing since i placed the bet
So its your fault Alty? ;-)
I’m afraid so Attila mate, i jinx everything i bet
Alty that is unlucky mate. If Durant doesn’t step on that foot I put my house on it he makes that lay up and brings in your bet!
Yeah i think so too Jordan, reminds me of last season when Le Bron was one point away from getting his total points when he broke his nose and had to go off for the rest of the game
That’s 3 from 3 with the Bucks winning & covering. Just need OKC to keep pace with warriors for the full house.
If anyone’s on my NHL double, the Sharks have come from behind twice to be winning by 1 in the 3rd period, whilst Kings cane back from 3 down to be drawing 4-4. Net looking good as I’m on the money line.
Cheers Jordan for nba even double on points got me out a hole.
Get in there OKC!
well done Attila , its not as easy as people think playing safe fourfolds , a lot of research goes into picking these teams.
where they`re playing
whose fit
where they`ve just played
who they got coming up
so well done on your fourfold , i was just pleased to get 2 together , i`m still crying over that bloody spurs game.
well done jordan picking that safe evens points double ,you certainly know a lot of sport…
just a thought CATERMOLE BOOKED AGAINST THE GEORDIES ? got a chance
Jazza no worries mate.
Cheers huggy! It was literally a 5 minute browse of checking who’s scoring/conceding over 100 points recently and I knew Durant was back for OKC so it was guess more than a solid pick.
