RONNIE O'SULLIVAN makes his return to the big stage today when he faces a tough first-round Masters challenge against Mark Williams.
Despite his lack of action in the past year – he took an eight-month sabbatical during 20014 – five-times champ O'Sullivan is title favourite at 3-1 with Paddy Power.
He'll be hoping to hit the ground and is 1-3 at Betfred to make it through against the Welsh potter who's rated an 13-5 chance at BetVictor in the best-of-11-frame shootout.
In the day's other match Mark Selby is 2-5 at Coral to dispose of Ricky Walden (5-2, Stan James).
British women's tennis No.2 Heather Watson continues her defence of the Hobart International title against Monica Niculescu – the Jersey girl is 11-17 for victory at martathonbet.
Other sporting action worth a punt includes Test cricket and an eight-game NBA card so post your tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly 
No luck with the tripple double experiment.. apologies to anyone who followed.
Nets were worse than I think they would be and we missed 3 pts for the over points to come in.
Bulls didn’t turn up again … but have to say the Wizards had a real ‘team’ play out tonight with Gortat out and a half Nene. Wall played but didn’t force his talent with only 17 points. I’d have prefered the result to be the other way around but have to say I was impressed with the Wizards.
Warriors needed two more points but Heat decided not to get blown away tonight.
– Warriors -9.5 & Warriors/Heat over 199.5 ** LOSE **
– Bulls -3.5 & Bulls/Wizards under 214.5 ** LOSE **
– Spurs -8.5 & Spurs/Nets over 187.5 ** LOSE **
January Singles: W11 – P0 – L8
Challenge Bets: 4 lost – 1 running
Knicks -2 looks the bet of the day
Tough night on the NBA last night, feels like at the moment any profit I make during the day I hand right back at night, might give it a miss for a few weeks until after the SuperBowl.
I felt like I needed a break recently so took a couple of days off betting, coming back today with a clear mind..
I’ve had a bit of time this morning so locked in a bet early.
Phoenix Suns @ Indiana Pacers Under 204.5 (PP) – 1.2 Points.
Indiana’s defence has been solid recently, taking a look at their last 4 games they’ve kept teams at 95 points or under (in regular time). Averaging 89 OPG (opponent points per game) in the previous 4.
Phoenix have been in bad form recently, winning just 1 of their last 11, averaging 84.7 points in their last 5 games.
I’m also interested to see what Phoenix’s Team Total will be (markets not open yet), anything around 96/7 would be a good bet for the under.
Good luck.
7 from 8 on the fourfolds yesterday which was great. It’s a tricky looking card today with not much in the way of domestic games. There is the Eurocup but this is always tricky as most of these teams have never played one another. Euro encounters always seem to throw up some strange results so not sure yet if I’ll put up any singles….might just stick with low risk, high reward strategy with a fourfold. Anyway, I have my selections which I think look good from my analysis….
EuroCup Fourfold
PAOK / Limoges (Over 141.5)
Milano (-5)
Mons-Hainaut (-11.5)
Chalon Saone (-3)
Fourfold at just under 6/1 -Skybet – 1pt staked.
Good luck!
Well done again hunter, followed your tips and won another 100£. Keep them coming !
Decided against singles today and gonna try my luck at another Fourfold….
EuroHoops Fourfold
Nevezis (-4)
Krka (+14.5)
Uppsala Basket (-9)
Evreux (1st Half -1.5)
Fourfold @ just under 5/1 Skybet – 1pt staked.
Good luck!

Pacers/suns u204
Knicks -1.5
Spurs -7
Harden u28.5 points
Middleton o18.5 points
Westbrook o32.5 P&A
Zaza o22.5 P&R
Hi Scott, I think you will find Heather Watson is from Guernsey.
We are still British thank you haha
larue, apologies you’re right. At least I was in the right neck of the woods.
Scott, she’s still British.
Scott you are still correct. We are a British Crown dependency.
Ronnie o’sullivan in danger of going out two frames down and currently 13/8 in the betting
claimed a set back and is evens now 13/8 was a gift horse
Apologies I couldn’t get on sooner gents. Had a hectic afternoon. I was partially right about Klay last night. He didn’t have a bad game, unfortunately it just wasn’t enough with 26 total PR&A. Kenyon Drake had no part in the Bama run game. Shame return yards don’t count as he had 196 haha. Probably won’t be on anything tonight. Good luck with your punts.
Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors) Over 30 PR&A @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power – 4.8 points **LOSE**
Kenyan Drake (Alabama) Over 22.5 Rushing Yards @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power – 1.2 points **LOSE**
Haven’t really got posting many NBA bets on here the last couple of days due to simply not having the time through work. I’ve a spare half hour now though so time to sit down and get studying those stats! I’ll post my bet(s) up shortly.

Alternative totals treble:
Bucks v Bulls o196
Pistons v Spurs o187.5

1pt treble:
Spurs -2.5
Bulls ML
Cavs -3
1pt long shot:

SPURS/PISTONS UNDER 195.5
CAVS / MAVS OVER 199.5
prop
LaMarcus Aldridge Over (16.5) 5/6
(no longer posting points bet as it benefits no-one)
It gives people an idea of how confident you are. Plus I have to as I post my totals.
That Aldridge seems a beauty.
I`d have more confidence in UTD`S back 4 ……

bulls let me down last night, hesitant to back them again against the bucks.
i like spurs and pacers. if spurs were not on a b2b they would prolly be around -14 and pacers should destroy a poor suns team.

Rubbish!!! Really annoyed as I was hovering over the button to post a double of Milano -11 and the Limoges game to go over 155.5 for a 7/1 double but thought the fourfold looked like a safer bet.
Cheers Hunter for your fourfold!! Another one absolutely nailed!! Keep up the good work mate!!
Cheers Mervin?

3rd fourfold in 3 days ?
Doubt you’ll ever see a more comfortable fourfold!?! Those 4 legs makes for some pretty reading…..
PAOK / Limoges (Over 141.5) *163 points*
Milano (-5) *Won by 41 points*
Mons-Hainaut (-11.5) *Won by 24 points*
Chalon Saone (-3) *Won by 11 points*
Frustrating to see the 2nd fourfold failing after changing it from what would’ve been a comfortable 7/1 double (thought this was riskier) but another £110 to add to the kitty is more than you could ask for.
Well done if you followed?
Brilliant stuff once again!!
Gutted I missed out
Awesome @Hunter paid for tonight’s NBA!
Cheers!
mate you just re-couped £160 from last night , followed you with a fairly large stake , i`m now in profit from last 2 days.

Power outage in the Pacers/Suns game.
I guess Porzingis is back on his hot streak haha
Porzingis on fire tonight mate ???
Can’t believe I didn’t take his point prop today..over 16.5 on unibet..took his over 8 rebounds instead like a doughnut…??
Anyone knows why suns not playing Brandon knight tonight?
Illness
Cheers mate
Tempted by Boston as Anthony is having troubles with injuries and has been the offensive key for the nicks tonight, not going to touch it though as I’m happy with my bets tonight haha
Nick he was only having his ankle re-strapped.
Ooh, he’s left again haha
Yea he stood on the refs foot haha, looks like a great shout on Lou!
Can’t believe he got 44 points!
Well my main bet for today would have won so going to go with a prop I’ve looked at. For the record it was OKC Over 56.5 FHP. So watch this fail…
Lou Williams (LA Lakers) Over 15.5 Points @ 4/5 @ Paddy Power – 2.5 points
Made hard work of that LOL
You’re telling me! What a horrible game! Wish I went to sleep instead. Yeah had a bit on Aldridge and Lakers +3.5
Anthony Davis will not play against the Lakers but they are +3.5 underdogs???? Wtf??
Jrue Holiday should get some extra shots with Davis out. 14.5 points @ 10/11 @ Betfair seems doable
Nice one Huggy. Aldridge ;)
Mate he’s their main man .. anything around 15 I’m on..
You have a bit ?
Treble of….
Pacers -6 *WON*
Spurs -6 *WON*
Thunders -6 *LOSE*
