THERE'S a four-match NBA card to keep punters interested tonight and all the Philadelphia 76ers want for Christmas is a rare win.
The Philly flops have a just one victory in 29 games this season but hope to mark their last home match of the year by springing a surprise against inconsistent Memphis Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies have a good record in Philadelphia, avoiding defeat there for almost six years, but were run close at home by the 76ers last month and are just 2-11 at Paddy Power for the win and 4-9 at BetVictor to be winning at half-time and full-time.
The 76ers are 9-2 at bwin to end their losing streak and 10-11 at betfred with a 9.5 point start.
In the night's other games Kobe Bryant returns from injury for LA Lakers' trip to Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons travel to Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors host Dallas Mavericks.
Elsewhere there's Big Bash cricket from Down Under and more arras action from the darts World Championship so let's hear all your tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly

huggybear518, all the best to you too.
@huggybear518 have a great Christmas chum. As always, thanks for your contributions. Look forward to seeing you in the winners enclosure soon.
3 winners out of 3 in the NHL tonight @ 10/11, 11/10 and 17/2 respectively. Only disappointment was I haven’t been on all night to follow what I’m sure were plenty of winning tips!
Monthly total:
Staked: 49.5 points
Returned: 71.6 points
Ameer Abdullah (Detroit Lions) Over 38.5 Rushing Yards @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power (40.5 @ 10/11 @ William Hill – 2.4 points **WIN**
Over 38.5 @ EVS @ Skybet – 2 points **WIN**
Other likes were half and half but both bets win which is all I’ll worry about. Well done to the winners.
On fire Jordan, well done mate
Well done Jordan..still trying to understand the game before following ur nfl tips..think I’m just gonna bet blind next time one of nfl tips get posted! Haha..on fire mate!!!
Kings +3 @ 1.90 – *LOSE*
Hornets +3.5 @ 1.90 – *LOSE*
Argh, frustrating night. Expected Kings to have a much better game.
Most annoying is the other games I fancied came in.. Magic, Nets (winning outright!) And Jazz.
I’m probably going to take a break for a few days, get my mojo back.
I won’t wish everyone a good Christmas yet as I’ll prob be back before then haha.
Jordan – great tipping yet again on the NFL last night. Took the Abdullah yards and the combined passing yards/ over 20 points per team special from Skybet.
Hello lads, just to echo @huggybear518 comments, Merry Christmas to everyone, was always haphazard with betting before I came on this site, and specifically really since toning back my bets a little bit and being more selective have had a really good December and it is mainly down to you boys on this thread. Thanks to all and to @mr-fixit and @admin for creating a great site
jacksonator, cheers. Have a good Xmas.

Spurs v Pacers o192.5

Early thoughts on the NBA tonight, big card to play with. Really like the looks of the Spurs to get a big win against a Pacers team who are poor on the road. I also expect Houston to keep up their good home form against a Charlotte team which has been woeful away from home. I also see the Bulls beating the Nets tonight in Chicago but whether they can cover the -10.5 spread is a completely different story.
As for totals, i’ve already got 1.5pts on:
Knicks v Magic o188.5
Spurs v Pacers o190
Clippers v Thunder o199.5
1.5pts returns 4.12pts

Cheers gents. I shall also echo huggys words and will be having a couple of days off as we lead up to Christmas. There is an NFL game on Christmas Eve but won’t be watching for obvious reasons, but will probably have a bet for then. Well done to all contributors this year and good luck to the next.
Well done to Mr F and the team too for making what was an already good site into a great one.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
World Championship Darts
Singles:
Newton vs Reyes, over 8.5 180’s 6/5 **NB**
Winstanley vs R Huybrechts, Winstanley most 180’s 4/7
Chisnall vs Rodriguez, highest checkout score over 120.5 8/11
Double:
Winstanley vs R Huybrechts, Winstanley most 180’s
Jenkins vs Young, Jenkins most 180’s
11/10 **NAP**
Newton vs Reyes is a match in which both will contribute well to the total 180 tally. Former soft tip player Reyes made his TV debut at the worlds last year and he hit the ground running. Ever since he has demonstrated an abillity of getting into the 60 for maximums and 140’s. A main part of Newtons game has always been scoring 180’s and I think the game has the potential to go all the way, maybe even to a sudden death leg so backing the over 180 line is a good bet.
Winstanley can be a power scorer when on song and usually gets impressive amounts of 140’s and 180’s. He would be a lot higher in the rankings if his finishing was more clinical as this is where he lets his opponents in. Ronny Huybrechts is a methodical thrower not known for being prolific on maximums. I think Winstanley will win the 180 contest quite comfortalby.
In round one so far we have already seen a number of “poorer” Preliminary round players post checkouts above the 120.5 line. Chisnall and Rodriguez have both checked out above the line on tour and on TV so there is a strong possibility the line will be exceeded.
Jenkins 180 scoring is the main reason he has reached so many event finals. He will comfortably get more than the American Young.
Prices with Bet365
Good luck all
How you doing bullseye..on your NB tonight ..?
Taking a day break I said…….
Nope!
Miami Heat -3.5 @ 1.90 – 1.1 Points.
I like this bet tonight, Heat have been decent at home recently winning 4 of the last 6. Pistons on the other hand are poor on the road, winning 2 of the last 6. Against Philly and a unpredictable Bulls team.
There is a revenge factor for Heat too, having lost to Pistons earlier.
I also feel Pistons may be looking ahead to tomorrow’s game against Hawks, where as Heat get a nice few days off.
Heat for me tonight.
Minnesota Wild ML, Calgary Flames or Draw @ 6/4 – 4 points
Tampa Bay Lightning 1st period betting @ 5/4 – 2 points
Florida Panthers ML, Los Angeles Kings ML @ 7/4 – 2 points

—————–
3 from 4….. AGAIN!!! 3 Lines absolutely breezed in, but the Valencia game was really unlucky. Valencia won by 11 at a canter and between some terrible referring, a 3 pointer and some missed opportunities at the end, it could have been a nice little Fourfold.

SMALL Korean B-Ball (10:00) SINGLE
Anyang +6.5 ODDS>>>>1.86
They are a whopping 3.30 to win which is a huge price when you look at the stats.
Anyang’s home form reads Played 14 won 13 Lost 1 in O/T.
Mobis have the best away form in the league with 11 wins and 4 defeats.
( 1 of those was at Anyang)
They met last month with Anyang winning 78-75 at home. Mobis won the previous 2 meetings which were at home, prior to that they played at Anyang with the home side running out 81-57 winners,
Anyang also won the previous Home match as well.
With that decent form I’m taking Anyang on the spread for a safety Cushion.
