FERNANDO ALONSO could be set for a dramatic move to Mercedes next year in the wake of F1 world champ Nico Rosberg's shock retirement.
Alonso is 3-1 to at Ladbrokes to team up with Lewis Hamilton, 10 years after their spectacular fall-out as team-mates at McLaren.
Pascal Wehrlein leads the betting at 2-1, Williams' Valtteri Bottas is a 4-1 shot, Rosberg is 10-1 to change his mind and keep his seat in 2017 and 33-1 says Jenson Button makes a swift U-turn on his retirement to rejoin Hamilton.
Richard Marsh of Ladbrokes News said: “Rosberg's announcement has stunned everyone but Formula One doesn't hang around and Pascal Wehrlein is already the favourite for the coveted Mercedes seat.”
“However, it's the potential for a Fernando Alonso reunion with old rival Lewis Hamilton which has really set tongues wagging.”
On today's sporting schedule there's big games and betting opportunities galore so as usual let's hear all your tips and chat.
To be Lewis Hamilton’s team mate in 2017 (Ladbrokes prices):
Pascal Wehrlein – 2-1
Fernando Alonso – 3-1
Valtteri Bottas – 4-1
Esteban Ocon – 7-1
Nico Rosberg – 10-1
Sebastian Vettel – 14-1
Nico Hulkenberg – 16-1
Max Verstappen – 20-1
Carlos Sainz Jnr – 25-1
Jenson Button – 33-1
Daniel Ricciardo – 33-1
Paul Di Resta – 50-1

Fiji are not the same team that won the Olympics. Literally they have changed the team around resulting in close games agaist Canada and Wales and Argentina almost beating them. Can’t see them whooping France by 17 even if the h2h would suggest so.

UK Snooker Championship SF bets:
Selby o0.5 centuries – v Murphy – 4/5 PP
O’Sullivan -2.5 frames – v Fu – 4/6 Coral
Selby has had at least one century in every game so far so makes sense to continue backing him to make one. I’ve tried to get Fu beat all week and keeps defying me despite being poor apart from the last 4 frames last night but surely today has to be the day.
Aviva Prem
Saracens -3
Gl if you follow
I like this. Bath are strong at home but Sarries have so much depth so definitely worth a go! Good luck mate
Long time no speak buddy. Had some exams and bits recently (studying the LPC with MSc so a busy course) so took a time away from betting. Going to steal your Sarries -3 and add it to Gunners card in the Eng match. I’m keen to see how the boys get on without Billy and how Yarde does on the wing; I’m not entirely convinced he is the whole package just yet but let’s see.
GL today all!
Wasn’t to be, like many of my bets today!
Just the 1 International today and it’s a massive one. England should win it but this is bound to be a niggly affair. Yellow card in the game pays 4/7 which is more than generous. Obviously not great odds alone but I’ll be on it and it’ll form part of my main treble.
Treble will be: Yellow card (Aus vs Eng), Gloucester ML and Bath to reach 10 points at just under evens (Bet365).
I’ll also be on a speculative treble of England -2.5, Saracens ML, and Leicester ML (11/5).
I also like Australia over 19.5 points (5/6) and having a little punt on South Africa to win the Dubai 7’s (1/1).
Enjoy and Good luck!
Bristol playing really well so cover might be wise. Bristol +9.5 available at 5/6.

@raoul-duke hello mate only manage to see the selections today..what u think of bucks continuing their great form tonight against the nets..they are great at home and nets terrible on the road.no injuries to report ..-9.5 look good to me at evens..also think the Greek freak will score well again tonight the P&R looks good to me at over 31.5.5/6 ….just worried if they do batter them early he will get rested again in the 4th..?
Evening gents. Recap of the last bets posted with tonight and tomorrows NFL and NBA selections.
Dallas Cowboys -2.5 @ 4/4 @ Betfair – 5 points **LOSE**
DeAndre Jordan (LA Clippers) Over 24 Points and Rebounds @ 4/5 @ PP – 2.5 points **VOID**
Eric Gordon (Houston Rockets) Over 21.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ PP – 3 points **WIN**
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Milwaukee Bucks -2.5
Utah Jazz ML
43/50 @ Skybet – 2.5 points
NFL
Detroit Lions 21+ Team Points
Arizona Cardinals 21+ Team Points
6/5 @ Skybet – 5 points
One of the toughest weeks I’ve seen in the NFL this week so keeping it simple with a double to try and claw back the Dallas loss. Much more tastier looking games for week 14. Saddens me to think the playoffs are nearly here already.
My NBA singles tonight …
Goran dragic (heat) over 6.5 assists 5/6 PP
A lot of the heats play comes through dragic. He should find the killer passes to whiteside and co against a team constantly conceding 100 points a game.. I won’t be surprise if he a post over 10 assists tonight..
Gordon Hayward over 1.5 3-pointers 11/10 PP
With Hill and hood questionable, Hayward to lead the offence with another over 20+ points performance .he will get his oppertunities behind the arc and hopefully sink at least 2….
Good luck everyone

Yo man, only just saw your message, I never like taking Bucks as a big favourite at home.. love backing them at underdog or short favourite, but 8.5 points is alot.
Just realised it’s tipping off soon, I’m gunna look for a possible inplay.
Good luck with your bets mate!
Cheers mate Haha yeah talked myself out of it in the end went for the above two..also have a treble sitting on my betslip at the moment..
Toronto -4.5
Celtic -4.5
Gsw -10.5

UK Snooker Championship SF bets:
Selby o0.5 centuries – v Murphy – 4/5 PP *loser*
O’Sullivan -2.5 frames – v Fu – 4/6 Coral *loser*
Thankfully that is the last time I’ll lose money betting against Marco Fu this week at least. Closest Selby got to the century was a break of 83 and then missed a difficult red. I’ll be on Selby tomorrow, hopefully get a decent price on him.
