CINCINNATI BENGALS are looking for a cure to their night terrors in the NFL Monday match.
They have a rotten 2-9 record in TV evening games since Andy Dalton became quarterback but know a victory against Denver Broncos tonight would secure them a play-off place.
Broncos already have their play-off spot sewn up but can clinch a first-round bye with a win tonight and are 4-7 to do so with the home team 13-8.
In the World Darts yesterday former Paul Nicholson was the only seed to exit with the likes of James Wade, Dave Chisnall and Ian White all safely making it through to round two.
Today Raymond van Barneveld is the main attraction and is 1-4 to get the better of 4-1 shot Rowby-John Rodqirguez. Barney's Dutch countryman Vincent van der Voort is 4-9 to see off John Henderson (9-4), Michael Smith is 1-4 against Mensur Suljovic (4-1) and Jamie Caven is similary shorted priced against Jason Hogg.
Elsewhere there's the usual helpings of NBA and NHL throughout the night.
Post your sporting tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.
***POSTED Yesterday***
**WON** Single: Pacers -3.0 @ $1.92 (7 pts)
**WON** Treble: Nets Win, Pelicans +7.5, Lakers +7.5 @ $6.37 (2.5 pts)
**LOST** 7Fold: Heat +5.5, Magic -6.5, Suns +8.5, Nets +2.5, Lakers +10.5, Pacers Win, Pelicans +10.5 @ $20 approx odds (0.5 pts)
***With all the boom talk, I think this deserves a BOOOOOOOOOOOM! Pacers left it late but covered the handicap. The Treble came in as well earning me a nice profit. As usual, the 7 fold was let down by 1 team being Orlando this time but most my stake was on the 2 main bets so no drama ($50 outlay, $160 return).
@Huggybear, great result on our shared NAP today :-D
Russel Wilson TD @ 5/2 **WIN**
Seahawks have torn Arizona apart! You boys need to see the 79 yard Lynch TD too!
Seahawks to win back to back Superbowls. I’ve said it!
NBA SHORTLIST
TAKE A GLANCE ATTILA AND LET ME KNOW

just a first draft till i arrive at Mondays nap.
NICE double yesterday Attila had a few £££`s with you….

no tips for the cricket ?
Player To Hit Most 180s
James Wade @ 11/10
WON
———
Jamie Caven & Michael Smith both to win @ 4/6
Jordan- well done with russel wilson.
I backed him to score 2 @ 33/1 and when I saw three Wilson’s on the scoresheet my eyes lit up momentarily! Damn that Luke!
Gna watch the highlights now.
Huggybear, here’s my PRELIMINARY picks (ill post my actual game plan later once I pick which games are bogies and which ones aren’t, lol)
ALL NOTE: These are not tips yet, just for Huggys info in picking today’s NAP!
Spurs by 7 | Spurs COVER -3.0
Grizzlies by 4| Jazz COVER +8.0
Rockets by 6| Rockets COVER -3.5 & UNDERS
Mavs by 9 | Mavs COVER -6.5 & OVERS
Hornets by 8 | Hornets -2.0
Bulls by 4 | Raptors +5.5
Warriors by 19 | Warriors -12.0
Btw – I really like Jazz lately…8 points seems generous. Also like Hornets to cover the 2 points (they’re starting to click) and Spurs to cover 3 seems like a gift against a falling out of form Clippers side who are struggling when away from L.A
Thx huggy and attila again,.
Took attila´s treble and combined it with a pacers win/-2,5 and a kings win.
Last week has been so successful.
Greetings from Germany
Jizzy, you’re welcome mate. You would have got odds of about €25 on that 5 fold, nice!
I’ll always recommend a single and stake 50-70% on it (same strategy as Mr fixit) as when the Acca’s fail there’s usually the single to fall back on and stop the betting pot going backwards.
aces -9.5 anybody~?
i got them -8.5 10/11 there r now 9 points ahead lol cmon u acesss
Great stuff with the nba lately guys, a shame that i didnt got to see your tips on time,plenty of winners it seems
keep it up, GL and merry xmas ;)
aces -8.5 and 9.5 *won* placed bet twice lol luckyyyy
Cheers Ad and unlucky on the 2, that would have been some pull! Did you do the punts bet? That would have came off. There was a point in the game where he may have got another but he backed out and ran out of bounds!
Thoughts for MNF.
Big game tonight for both sides. Peyton Manning vs Andy Dalton.
Cincinnati will clinch a wildcard berth with a win or tie tonight, but that’ll be easier said than done, and if they lose tonight they have to go and win in Pittsburgh next week, which again will be a tough task having losing by 21 points to Big Ben only 2 weeks ago at home. The Bengals have lost their last two home games by 21 points. The loss to the Steelers and a 24-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns back in November.
The Broncos can clinch a first round bye with a win or tie tonight which would also seal a home field advantage in the playoffs, which is a big advantage at The Mile High. The Broncos are on a 4 game win streak with their last 3 winning by a TD or more. They have came up against two good defenses in recent weeks beating both the Chiefs and Bills by 13 and 7 points respectively, also beating the Chargers in San Diego 22-10.
I did post the Manning yards the other day but forgot how much they have changed their game in recent weeks. Going from pass first to a heavy run game and that’s no thanks to their running back CJ Anderson. The 2nd season back has 109 rushing attempts with 478 yards over their last 4 games. That’s 27.25 carries and 119.5 per game (4.3 yards per carry) scoring 4 TD’s (3 against Buffalo).
The Bengals had an easy time in Cleveland last week with Johnny Manziels first start at QB which saw them shut out the Browns 30-0, but in their last home game they saw Le’Veon Bell tear them for 185 yards on the ground with 2 TD’s. CJ Anderson should have another heavy load tonight with their 2nd and 3rd string RB’s questionable for tonight’s game.
Main Bet
Denver Broncos -2.5 @ 4/6 @ PP
Prop Bets
CJ Anderson Anytime TD @ 4/5 @ 365/BV/PP
50% stake CJ Anderson over 22.5 rushing attempts @ 10/11 @ Ladbrokes
Jordan with manning carrying an injury n havin an illness this week would under his yards not be a bet considering he might not play whole game
I don’t like betting on under Bam but it could be an option. Depends how far ahead they get. This is why I have gone for their running back attempts and TD on the props.
Huggy`s NAP for the day is Utah Jazz plus 8 @ memphis .
here`s hoping for 21 from 24..
also gonna have an `in work` fun bet on golden state -6 ht , never go big on these so smallish stake.
GOOD LUCK !!!
What`s your main pick ATTILA ? Liking the Spurs shout , think they`re bringing back the big guns tonight !!!
Wow it’s nice and calm on this thread too many egos on the football page one in particular never followed American sport is this easy to follow your tips guys because to be honest it looks like names and numbers I know a bit of basketball that’s it. I might follow.
Darts tonight tk caven -1.5 and barnet -1.5 for bit of interest pays 7-5
William hill day 5 darts special
William hill darts special pays 11/10 cave,Smith and barney.looks good
Barney -1 at over evens for most 180s tonight
I didn’t get on the punts in the end Jordan, oops! Decided to just have a couple if low stake high odds flutters instead.
I’ll be on CJ running yards tonight. Good luck lads
Betvictor has Barneveld highest check out over 111.5 @ 2.00
Any thoughts?
Well, a 167 finish will do
I’m also taking hill running yards.
And Broncos -3.5 and under 40.5 points double @ 9/2.
Yeah it’s not that I think he won’t get his yards I just think they might be a bit high. Might add them after I’ll see what other people are on.
Seahawks now favourite to win the Superbowl. Down to 11/4. Was it you that tipped them at the start of the season chief?
Wuld be on ur tips/nap huggybear… Waiting too see what u hav ATTILA.. Looking at doing a “points treble” wat games do u guys tink..??? Mavs over, rockets over, golden st over… Thots ?
Huggybear, I agree and will be putting 5 pts on Jazz to cover. Line out to 8.5 now and I think will hit 9.0 so gonna wait til start time before I put bet on.
Spurs are out to +1.0 now from -3.0, and yeh I read same thing about their big guns coming back so ill have son of that.
Will post my final tips in a n hour or so.
mate if spurs have drifted from -3 to plus 1 it suggests that they are still missing 1 or 2 big players , wait for team news at 1.30
Anasewhiz , mate that`s really hard to call , but the 3 youv`e highlighted have a good chance of going high .
portland at 199 seems low and the nuggets/hornets could easily hit 200 , good luck ,at the moment i`m playing the singles market and doing ok…
im waiting on you attila get me back on track lol chester let me down badly :(

Huggy just had a quick browse. What do you make of this?
Atlanta Hawks Over (99.5)
Portland Trail Blazers Over (94.5)
Los Angeles Clippers Over (96.5)
@ 2/1 @ WillHill
broncos ht and ft ?
Who was on Barney -1 180s?
Nfl Monday
Denver -3 10/11
Dez Thomas anytime wincast 2/1
Anderson anytime scorer 4/5
I have a vested interest in the game as I need pittsburgh to win division to bring up a pre season acca and who do pittsburgh have to clinch that division next weekend? Cincinatti. Am sure cincinatti will have one eye on that game as the crucial game of the season whilst denver need a win to keep pace with new England for the post season numbers. Cincinatti have struggled against the run last few weeks if we ignore the cleveland Johnny manziel nightmare so Anderson should have good outing hopefully including a td. Julius Thomas will be fitter so will get more attention leaving demarius Thomas more time to shine. Full house on denver for me tonight I just trust Peyton a lot more than any Dalton who looks like a pro bowler one minute and Christian ponder the next. Good luck
I’m going to take CJ and Demarius Thomas first touchdown scorer with PP as they will double the odds if they go on to score again. Would make for a good looking 12/1 for thomas and 15/1 for CJ. Pre Christmas optimism/ greed taking hold of me!
Dolan -1 180 at evens, another single winner.
Lewis -2 tomorrow at 5/4 and bunting -1 whatever they offer when the market opens
Fairly safe multi-sport Treble, pays just under Evens ($1.84):
– Pittsburgh Penguins +1.5 (NHL)
– Denver Broncos +4.5 (NFL)
– Golden State Warriors Win 1st Half (NBA)
GL!
Jordan clippers away . Dodgey one , but guesswork really . Other 2 look sound . Gl if your on
Knew I should have put Hornets in my treble…pulled them out at last minute. They all over the nuggets.
NFL MNF Denver @ Cincinnati
The final game in prime time on Monday night sees Denver who have already sewn up the AFC West need a win to guarantee a bye week and home field advantage in the playoffs. It is worrying that Manning is on the injury report list which is virtually unheard of. He left the game last week through illness, yet appeared on the report list with a thigh injury.
Cincinnati win or lose will face off against Steelers next week for the divisional title, and with Dalton shocking record in televised game I am sure they will look for a big performance heading into next week. I don’t like going against Manning on the big stage of Monday night, and will take the Thomas anytime wincast 2/1 William Hill.
Manning as only thrown 20 passes in each of his last two games, and that as resulted in Denver scoring under 30pts in their last 3 games, which for this high powered offence is unheard off. Cincinnati average just 22pts per game and given the uncertainty of how healthy Peyton is and the rain that’s forecast, this looks an unders game to me.
My two prop bets surround Cinci players, Running back Jeremy Hill O65.5yds 10/11 William Hill. Denver have the second best run d in the league but I don’t pay too much attention to that, as most teams facing Denver are usually two scored down and are forced to throw the ball, so their run d stats look better than they could be. Cinci are the 6th best rushing team in the league and in Hill they pose a real threat on the ground.
My second prop bet is Mohamed Sanu O35.5yds 10/11 Ladbrokes. AJ Green is the main WR and will likely draw Harris or Talib, but Sanu carried the load when he was out and although doesn’t make that many down field plays is good on short routes and can pick up YAC. He as covered this line in 5 out of 7 home games.
DEMARYIUS THOMAS WINCAST 2/1
Prop Bets
HILL O65.5yds 10/11
SANU O35.5YDS 10/11
Good luck if your having a bet
hahaha hill yards in already!

HILL O65.5yds 10/11 :) still in 1st QTR
Not saying won as Bryant screwed me by 2yds last night but unless he starts running backwards, this is done n dusted. :D
Don’t believe stats in the NFL, they are often misleading 2nd best run d in the league, do me a favour!
Hahahaha C’MON MAN! Nice one chief!
And Ad actually as you mentioned the yards earlier today! I was expecting 65 but not another first play prop haha
yeah man, just figured bashing the run is the best way to keep Manning off the field. Wasn’t quite expecting him to nail it in one go!
There goes the rockets/blazers under bet blown away by Half time nearly. I know both can score, but they are also best 2 defensive teams so thought it might be a low scorer…no defense today, all attack, lol
You watching the Spurs attila? You still liking their chances. They’re getting enough of it in the 1stQ
Jordan, alright mate always nice but maybe they didn’t see Hill run not over Cleveland but the entire state of Ohio last week, there is a reason Denver as the second best run d, that’s were the stats lie and we take advantage all year of such low props :)
I had a feeling all day Cinci may win or at least keep it close, three things put me off. Peyton on one leg is still head n shoulders better than Dalton. Cinci have a huge game next week regardless of what happens tonite, and finally am I brave enough to put my money on the table against Peyton team. I took the props instead
hills gna run for 200 methinks!
Macs are gonna let me down… Why did I swap hornets out for them in the treble?!
Ad, sorry mate just seen you was already on the yards too well done mate,
No worries man, it wasn’t as informed a pick as yours was im sure! From what i was reading about the game it sounded like Bengals would run it and that total looked low for Hill.
Langerdan, Spurs are playing really well. They’ll win I think
Jeremy hill is chewing to yards out there
Cheers attila. I did spurs/jazz (8.5) double. Jazz look to be keeping it tight
That’s a huge call for cincy. Ominous for my broncos treble. JT’s performance has noticeably dropped away 2nd half of the season
Damn %&#@ing Dallas mavericks!!! Having a laugh, and at home…seriously they need to get serious
Whenever Peyton appears on the IR be aware
Damn right chief. Thought it was just an illness. Did you see the Seahawks highlights? What were their price for b2b Superbowls?
Just seen your other post mate! Yeah there was noway I was backing Dalton in primetime even with Peyton questionable. Can’t wait for the Steelers game. Think it might be on Channel 4. Do we have to be weary of some teams playing fringe players this week?
Not sure if Cinci are doing a great job at the blitz or whether its just poor pass protection!? Peyton almost threw another INT there too. Damn holding penalty. That would have been my CJ TD!
Jordan – really need Broncos to score some more points soon…
No use telling me mate me and Peyton aren’t talking haha
Lol, really? Thought you 2 were tight! :-P
We may not be after tonight haha
Get in there Jazz! What a win it’l be of they upset the Grizzlies in Memphis.
Jordan I got burned by Dalton on prime time already so there was no way I was taking them
Think cincy have out thought them today. Limiting ware and Miller chances with creative and fast run plays. Peyton is going to have to hit WRs instead of CJ with his passes if he wants anything to stick
Jordan, yeah any team who are already in the playoffs I would be wary off this week, I personally would focus on the tv games as they are selected by the networks so either one or both teams have something on them
Yeah I backed them against the Browns in Cinci. Enough said haha
Not sure of odds on Seattle winning it before season started but they would have been favs or second favs, 11/4 3/1 maybe, unless a bookie were giving an offer. They would have been bigger half way through season when they were struggling.
Yeah I suppose you’re right as they’re only 11/4 now. Still a decent price. Not as offensively good as Green Bay, Pittsburgh etc but they could probably hold both to less than 20 points. Couldn’t say that about many of the defenses going into the playoffs. I used to watch the Superbowl every year when I didn’t follow the NFL so this my first playoffs :D Excited much!?
CJ Anderson Anytime TD @ 4/5 **WIN** :D
That browns game was soul destroying
The hawks drifted to big double digits during their slump. Plenty out there sitting on some tasty bets
I’m going for broncos +6.5 @ 5/6
Can’t believe Mavericks were favorites today with the way they are playing…cant believe I let their good recent form trick me in including them in my treble today, argh
That is some electric returning
oh damn,
this was a 99% rockets win without Aldridge.
I am suprised that Dallas is loosing so badly, but the Hawks are so strong at both ends of the floor.
Attilas treble is gone I think, but the Hawks are just too underastimated.
Whatever, I also took Utah as a single and I also had a double with the Hornets and the Spurs. That looks promising.
I will put on my tips tomorrow before the matches start :)
Very explosive Ad. CJ punched one it but the win is looking ever so uncertain and Peyton will probably have to start throwing. Tempted on Cinci by 19 or more @ 6/1!
I tipped Indy and Denver for the AFC championship, but my NFC bets suck, I took Saints and Niners over Seattle for the NFC championship. Good shout on CJ :)
My accumulators are all gine, but if you went 50% stake on Utah you’ll not have lost anything. I’m putting that money straight back on WARRIORS to cover the handicap
I need the Hawks to score 100 points to bring in the treble and even that isn’t looking too good!
That’s more effing like it Broncos. Manning taking this one by the balls finally
I certainly hope so Ad! Can’t cover yet haha
Apparently Jones hasn’t fair caught a punt since 2006…..what an animal!
I need the Mavs to score another 17 unaswered points, lol. At east Broncos are coming back
The broncos offence is going now but I have no faith in their ability to stop the Cini offence.
Ooooo…things just got interesting!
Denver D, need a stop ere otherwise its curtains
You were saying chief……
DENVER BALL!!!!!
And the warriors are away nicely. Still get a decent profit today be reinvesting the 5pts stake in Warriors…i can’t see how they wont cover the 12…already out to 7.
Mavs within 10 pts now. If they can sneak it to overtime the treble still in with a chance!
LETS GO PEYTON!!
C’mon Mavs, just 3 baskets needed to get to overtime!!!
Du Du Du Du HOOPS!
Atlanta Hawks Over (99.5)
Portland Trail Blazers Over (94.5)
Los Angeles Clippers Over (96.5)
@ 2/1 @ WillHill **WIN**
Ad, Haha, they needed that stop, Hill was running all over em, he can stop now, his prop is up I am happy :)
Peyton, that was shat!
Lets go Mavs! 2 baskets needed for overtime…treble is hanging on by a thread!
Jones woke up saying ‘Nomaha’ this morning!
Huggy’s NAP flew in! Should have tipped the ML Huggy haha, GSW look like they’ll be up by -6 at HT too!
1 basket short… What a comeback by Mavs tho!
Yeah, Dallas just left it a little too late… Nap flew in, and ill get a decent profit from my mixed sport treble posted earlier and Warriors game (nap $$ reinvested) if things stay as they are.
Unlucky Attila mate you had to lose at some point! At least your NAP won!
By the way Jordan, nice points treble. Wish I’d got on it.
Cheers mate was literally a 5 minute browse on points for and against. Paid off twice now so I’ll go again tomorrow. Loads of games :D
That penalty may ruin us!
That penalty may ruin us!
I’ll stay away from tipping points rezults, ill go with yours and that other guy Gfbjr he’s had some good trebles up too.
I’ll stick to handicap trebles etc, and huggy stick to his singles…too many cooks spoil the broth but if a few are contributing their best skill than works better for all.
Our fate is in your enormous hands Peyton
Jesus. Who saw that coming. Nightmare
NOMAHA!! Peyton has more INT’s than TD’s!
And there goes my evens treble…bloody hell denver
Broncos -2.5 pish poor
Well Peyton has thrown over his total which is annoying. Damn injury report!
Manning what the hell. two interceptions at clutch moments. shocking
As in I’m genuinely shocked!
Will it be the same question phrased slightly differently again with 1 question mark now David ?
Time for bed. Unlike some poor folks I expect to wake up tomorrow, and without tragedy hanging over me. I’ll forgive Peyton this once as I’m feeling reflective!
Nope only I tipped -2.5 so thought it was a poke as I didn’t see you comment. No problem.
Ad 3 interceptions in the 4th quarter, unbelievable mate!
Broncos -2.5 **LOSE** Bengals 37-28
CJ Anderson over 22.5 rush attempts **LOSE** 18
Only the Anderson TD the winner.
Shit show on the NFL but a nice 2/1 winner on the hoops. Tipped the Manning yards the other day but didn’t think it was possible after the questionable status. Turns out it was even with 4 interceptions.
One final overnight bet from me.
Tennis!
Stojanovic plays Dzalamide
Don’t know much about either so its low stakes. But S has won her last 16 matches on the trot and beat D last week. 7/10 to do it again.
Crazy stuff Jordan. I had CJ yards and he got real close with that break at the end. But aprt from hill yards and an early in play bet on overs I drew a big blank today. Covered it with the footy just about luckily.
Need tennis to come in over night and Hearts to do the business tomorrow and I’ll be all set with a nice swollen betting bank for the Boxing Day matches.
Thanks Huggy and Attila, was on your NAP Jazz +8. Nice to wake up with a better balance
Was that funny wen I said that to urself Ad ?
Profit again today with Attila quality tips brother
Alty/David, no worries. Got 5 out of 7 today so not too bad!
Attila more brilliant tipping fella, I was on the nap and 7 fold.
Quality as always.
Attila. Unlucky fella. Did your revised safe acca and got let down by one for four figures. Never mind it was all profit I was playing with. Keep tipping mate. GL
No worries guys. I just realized the original 7 fold won at better odds.. Shouldn’t have posted the revised one cos trail blazers screwed it up…i over think things sometimes…gotta stay with 1st thoughts!
Thanks Attila never betted on NBA before took your NAP and £££ cheers mate.
yes Attila, quite unlucky. But I wish you had not replaced the hornets with the mavs :)
But I had a smaller stake on that anyway so I made some money again.
God watched the 2nd half highlights. Peyton struggled unbelievably. The last INT was particularly bad. Didn’t set himself at all. Unlike him.
Still the jazz cover/spurs double came up as did jazz cover/hornets cover/CJ TD
Cheers to attila/huggy/Jordan and all the lads in here. The analysis and insight is some of the best I’ve seen.
Hi Attila, I followed some of your tips and huggys and somehow woke up €700 better off this morning. Unreal stuff. I just did my withdrawal and am really grateful for your amazing tips.
Augustus, good stuff man! Seems everyone else is winning more than me from my own tips, lol. Glad you withdrew instead of betting the winnings the next day…smart to always withdraw after a big win.
