NICK KYRGIOS has the talent to be the next superstar of tennis and tonight is his chance to show it as he takes on world No.6 Tomas Berdych at the Australian Open.
Aussie starlet Kyrgios had a morale-boosting win over Andy Murray at the Hopman Cup earlier this month and has won his opening two matches in Melbourne without dropping a set.
Berdych has also eased through in straight sets and the showdown has the makings of a cracker, with Kyrgios the underdog at 6-4 (sportingbet) and Berdych the 4-6 favourite (Paddy Power) while over 3.5 sets looks likely at 1-2 with bet365.
Big guns Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Kei Nishikori are also in third-round action tonight and the women's schedule sees reigning champ Serena Williams and 2008 winner Maria Sharapova hot favourites to progress.
Other sporting highlights include Big Bash cricket, Euro Challenge Cup rugby and a five-game NBA card so post all your sporting tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.

Nice one again John. Took it but with smelly Sock and Wawrinka 3-0.
Pray for Kemba to play in the 4th!
No need…
Kemba Walker (Charlotte Hornets) Over 28 PR&A @ 5/6 @ PP – 3.6 points **LOSE** 25 and didn’t play a minute of the 4th as they got wasted.
Other likes worth 1.2 points to bring back an even point
Hassan Whiteside (Miami Heat) Over 23.5 Points and Rebounds **LOST** Injured with 11 minutes played
Nerlens Noel (Philadelphia 76ers) Over 17.5 Points and Rebounds **LOST** Injured with 19 minutes played and looked on course with 12.
Gordon Hayward (Utah Jazz) Over 30.5 PR&A **WON**
Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers) Over 34.5 PR&A **YET TO TIP SO CHUCKING THE KEMBA STAKE ON IT**
Acca pays just under 20/1 which could be worth a fiver. (It wasn’t).
Couple of points on the Warriors/Kings Double I said to Captain so hopefully the Lakers play their usual bad ball but actually gave the Kings a good run for their money last time out. Big rivalry too.
Nailbiting finish between Knicks and Jazz!
Cover is available on my ML 4-fold with Lakers to win outright.
Sleeptime now, couldn’t get away from the Knicks game :-)
Dwight Howard played a massive ONE minute before leaving. Whiteside, Noel, Green, Bogut, Batum, Zeller, Deng all left their respective games. NBA tonight is like Holby City!
a big well done to @shotty with his 18/1 longshot…??
????..great stuff mate.gutted I didn’t lay no moneys on it when I saw it earlier..
@shotty
Hail the new king 18/1 acca
Well done dude.. makes my near fill house look crap…

Cycling: Tour Down Under 2016 stage 3
Match-bet:
Arredondo to beat Luis Leon Sanchez @ 2.05 with WH LOST :(
Bad luck continues, Arredondo crashed in the descent and with speeds up to 100kmh he wasn’t able to get back. One positive, Henao looked strong today finishing 7th and still able to win it.
Hi mr orange, hows the henao vs porte looking? i seen everyday so far he has finished infront, are we looking good? got 2 decent bets riding on it. Thanks
I think it has a very good chance. There is still one summit finish (stage 5) and Henao was the first to reach the top of the climb today, having quite a gap with Porte and the others. If Henao climbs like this on that stage 5 finish he will definitely take some seconds on Porte in the overall.
Woohoo another tennis NAP in the bag.. ?
Murray vs Sam groth
Match under 1 hour 96mins 22/25….unibet.
*WIN*
ok thanks, im trying make out from the results, he is standing infront currently? i cant find overall times.
They are level Waystrong, both on 15 sec from the leader. Try procyclingstats.com it’s all on there.
Took a back seat on the winners thread tonight haha. Close but no cigar with Lillard who has only decided to score 10 of his 18 points in the 4th quarter. Only winner I got was the 4/5 Warriors/Kings Double.
Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers) Over 34.5 PR&A @ 5/6 @ PP 3.6 points **LOSE** 29
Well done to huggy who had a good night and Captain on his double. Sure there were more winners about too. Great work lads. Small card tonight and probably won’t have anything. Bet my bottom dollar that the Spurs rest players too.
Even though Cousins rebounds landed comfortably, Koufos and Casspi are right tw*ts.
Literally wrestled Cousins for a few rebounds and took them off him!
@jordan mate this is getting into a habit now , thank you again sir for your ML double ..10 out of 10 now. The guy is a monster lol..haha…
And thanks @captain for your double too which i added the -6 cavs to…
Another great night.. Well done to all the winners!!
Haha you’re just lucky you don’t get on my losers mate. You on the Mexico goals yet? ;)
Mate from when I saw you write the words “for sure” on that reply to captain I put my money’s down straight away haha…mate u know I’m gonna be on those Mexican games for sureeee..haven’t placed them yet though.but I will ?..cheers again mate..
Jordan – i was on all your losers mate, lol. I got sick of seinf your winners each day and not being on them so i got on every single one today – my luck lately o say the least. Tjink i jinxed em on ya ;-)
Paha at least there was one winner out the five props but it took until 2 seconds remaining to land :)
Christ nice one shotty good lad.
Brilliant Stuff Shotty
Awesome tipping again Huggy.
Well done all other Winners.
Gonna call him long shot Shotty from now on..haha..good ring to it..?
You haven’t seen a lettuce long shot yet ;)
Haha…I’m sure lettuce has hit a long shot too ?..
On your Valencia tip today mate..odds dropped abit now though for over 1.5 team goals ..8/11…u reckon they will rest many today mate?
Looks like the win against nadal starting to effect verdasco game against sela..always happens though innit..u get a big win then lose the next game..sela was 3/1 to beat verdasco from the start, must have been bigger when verdasco won first set too …he prob get another interview about match fixing haha
7/1 for verdasco to turn it around ..he looks like he woken up haha
Morning all. PaddyPower gave me a free £100 bet so I had a treble which included 2 basketball matches which have won and I’m waiting on Kuznetsov for £418. The bet didn’t cost me anything but what’s the best cover to maximise profit here?
That was torture having to watch the Grizzleies V Mavericks game on NBA ESPN site!!! ?
Mavericks got there eventually thank f#@k .
Main bet…
£12 6 Fold = £93
£8 8 fold = £131.20(with bonus)
£6.33 10 fold = 586.12(with bonus) ?
Mavericks nearly bust all 3 but it seems even the sun shines on a dogs ass some days!
Thanks to Raoul,Huggy,Shotty and Recoba for the picks an pointers ? ?
Bloody ell mate ???.. Well done..
Brilliant stuff mate well done.
Glad I could help.
Thanks gents ?
Makes up for that Grizzlies v Pistons 33ft 3 pointer at the buzzer raoul duke of you remember? It let me down for about the same a bit before Christmas. It was nearly the Grizzlies’ again ?
@recoba Hahah I remember this! Worst luck ever.
Pistons/Rockets Over 206 – 1.1 Points – *WON*
Raptors ML
Cavs -6
Double @ 2.15 – 1 Point – *WON*
Lakers +7 – 1.1 Points *LOST*
Bulls +7 – 1 Point *LOST*
2-2 on the night, but a bit a profit thanks to the double. Lakers were in the game until the 4th quarter which is always frustrating to see.
4-3 for this week.
Well done to @shotty for the 18/1 long shot!
Thanks for the -6 cavs raoul added it to captains double..well done in your wins too..?
No worries mate!
Can get chardy at 8/11 by the way
@evo21up best cover probably Inplay mate..when or if kutznetsov goes ahead one set cover straight away I’m sure the price will much bigger for a chardy win
Jordan I was going to wait till after Saturdays betting to back your Mexico and Australia goals tip you posted on 20th as I liked the look of it. Even set a reminder on my phone!
Going to stick it on now but mate so here’s hoping.
Onwards… ?
I said to craneguy that I won’t be surprised if that treble paid 4/5 on the weekend from 1.06/1. Already @ 0.89/1 with the same firm. Glad I got on early. Monterrey have took a big hit!
Was a bit down when I checked yesterday Jordan and even more this morning. Took..
Monterry 1.5 TGs
Melbourne 1.5 TGs
Pumas to score.
Also 1.5 TGs treble for smaller stake and 3 wins Acca. Here’s hoping ?
Hopefully a good start today with this.
Sock
Baczinsky
Double
Just under evens ..3 points.
Took that smelly bam Sock too thewetlettuce along with Johns NAP and Wawrinka 3-0. Swine!
Couldn’t deal with the tie breaks the tart!
AUSSIE SPORTS:
– Townsville Crocs/NZ Breakers UNDER 166.5 @ $1.90 (NBL)
– Illawarra Hawks +5.5 vs Perth Wildcats @ $1.85 (NBL)
– Adelaide Strikers WIN vs Sydney Thunder @ $1.81 (T20 big bash)
^^^
The Hawks are 16-6 ATS this year whilst the Wildcats are just 12-10 ATS. The +5.5 start is huge, especially as Illawarra are the in form team in the comp atm.
NZ breakers struggle to score more than 70 points on the road, and as this is a must win game for them they will be strong on defence. Townsville arent known for being too offensively minded so i think we’ll see a close game of around 80points each for this to go under the total.
As for the big bash cricket, just a gut feeling Adelaide will win with the home advantage. Ill be watching this match so its a bet put on for better viewing pleasure :-)
Lol was going to post Perth -3.5, I suppose if Perth win by 4 we both win!!!
Great night for the thread (did I hear n’est thread?)! Lots of winners including a full house for myself.
Was on @jordan / @captains ML and spread doubles, @raoul-duke double, @huggy
Great night for the thread (did I hear n’est thread?)! Lots of winners including a full house for myself.
Lots of doubles came in @jordan @captains @raoul-duke @huggybear518 @humble-tipper and of course @shotty ‘s long shot (sorry if I missed anyone). Cheers guys, this is clearly the n’est month ever for me.

January Singles: W17 – P0 – L15
Supposed to say “did I hear best thread?”
I’ve had a bit of spare time this morning so – Duke’s early lean and write up..
Pistons @ Pelicans
Pistons have had a really tough schedule against Warriors, Bulls and Rockets and fair play to them they’ve done well, but tonight will be their 3rd game in 4 days, and 2nd into a 4 game road trip.
Pistons record on back to back games doesn’t bode well, played 8 lost 5 (37.5% win rate), and 2 of the 3 wins were Home games. Also their away record isn’t great, winning 9 of 21 (42.9%).
What Pistons are lacking is consistency, which stems from momentum… you could argue ‘well they got a good win away to Rockets last night’… The game was UGLY.. Dwight Howard went off injured, and because of this Rockets switched to a ‘foul Drummond’ tactic. He went to the free throw line an NBA record breaking 36 times.
No fluidity to the game, no rhythm.
How is a team supposed to gain any kind of momentum coming off the back of a win like that?.. Piston’s choppy season continues tonight.
Also, this sort of stat doesn’t often mean a lot but it’s worth mentioning.. you have to look back as far as 2012 for Detroit’s last win against New Orleans.
Pick – Pelicans -1.5 or Pelicans ML.
Nice write up Raoul.
In the same idea (back to back games, no rythm, …) I like the under in this game.
Like it raoul! Pelicans getting a win last night was the only result that done my £1.50 14 fold last night! ?
Not complaining but ?
@recoba Pelicans didn’t play last night bro, unless you mean against Minnesota Timberwolves on the 19th?
My bad I’m getting my Ps mixed up the soothing sounds of raoul. Was Pistons last night Tha beat the Rockets.
Makes your bet sound better now!
So its been somewhat of a stinker January for me entirely down to myself and my lack of discipline. Fortunately I had a very good night last night in the NBA to top the bank up a little bit. However, due to a lack of discipline, I’ve been betting for the sake of it at times just for an interest which I know is a awful way of operating. Alabama and Brose Baskets cost me about 12 points between them in 2 games simply due to me trying to “win big”.
As a result of this, I will be limiting myself to a maximum 2 points loss per day. This will force me to only go for those bets I have a lot of confidence in. This may mean skipping days of bets in order to wait for something I’m more confident in. So, from now on I will be posting a lot less on here and will try to keep a running total of bets and bank to keep me on track.
Well done to all winners last night! Winners thread out in full force!
do whats best for your balance mate , discipline and funbets , same buzz off a £3 btts bet…

Chardy is 4/1 with bet365 in running
Real Madrid – Barcelona
————————————————————————-
Real Madrid :
– Real Madrid – Real Madrid won 92-86 against Zalgiris Kaunas in last game played in Euroleague;
– following this success,they climbed 4th place with two wins and one defeat;
– in the domestic championship, Real Madrid lost surprising from Fuenlabrada score 85-91, in a match played at the weekend;
– this season, only Khimky managed to impose in this arena, with the score 85-82 in Euroleague;
– Real Madrid qualified in the top 16, finishing 3rd in Group A
————————————————————————–
– Barcelona lost away in Moscow against CSKA 82-93;
– Blau-grana managed one victory in the first 3 games played in TOP 16;
– Catalan team lost both away games with Olympiacos and CSKA Moscow;
– Barcelona have the second attack in the Euroleague, averaging 85 points per game;
————————————————————————–
– the two teams have met 16 times so far in Europe, Barcelona – 9 wins , Real Madrid 7;
– Barcelona won the last match score 91-84, disputed in this arena;
– Sergio Llull will absent in this match to injury;
————————————————————————–
– The two great rivals meet in the 4th round of the Euroleague Top 16, in a match that promises to be explosive;
– I am counting on a game with more points scored, considering that Barcelona is the second attack in the Euroleague, while Real Madrid did not excel in defense;
– Real Madrid will be missing top scorer, Sergio Llull;
– Last 5 matches played by Real Madrid have exceeded this limit and the last 3 games were also extremely spectacular, each time marking the 170 points;
– with the two teams offensive appetite I bet on a game with at least 165 points, and i believe they are likely to succeed;
Bet: Real Madrid – Barcelona – over 164.5 @ 43/50

Yeah just couldn’t keep the match going long enough to test Troicki’s fitness
Fantastic ..keep em coming Johnb
Nice one John B! Thanks again
johnb, great stuff with the tennis. Just watched highlights of Murray’s match – slightly one-sided.
NBA early thoughts.
Parker will not play for the Spurs tonight, but I still think -14 is a gift (although I don’t like double digit spreads).
Don’t be worried 14 is 3.5 a quarter..
I like it too.
Also interedted to see whatever Suns TT is gunna open as…. pound the UNDER.
Found Suns TT at 92.5 pts.
Hopefully a good start today with this.
Sock

Just under evens ..3 points…LOSS
Looks like both odds on shots will get beat in straight sets..terrible picks by me.

Goerges to beat Ka.Pliskova @ $3.14
Georges is in top form, whilst Pliskova struggled past a nobody in the last round.
Okay long post coming up let’s hope it’s worth it…
Will post my main bet first as I’ve got 2 long shots after this.
Main bet is GSW and Raptors money line double at just over evens.
First long shot is this at around 18/1
76ers over 94.5 team points
Raptors -2.5
GSW -5.5
Knicks money line
Mavs -4.5
***********
Next bet I’m trying something different a player rebounds fourfold
Okafor over 6.5
Whiteside over 11.5
Brook Lopez over 8
Cousins over 11
The fourfold pays 10/1
Only playing small stakes on the 2 long shots may as well with all the games on!
Good luck everyone tonight
********
Well what a bloody night!! I may as well give up now as I’m not topping this for a while!
18/1 acca won with a bit of luck along the way and the evens double came home too, thanks for all the comments guys and well done to all the winners!
Congrats Shotty! Only had half a point on the longshot but that’s still 9 points for free NBA tonight :D
Locked in 2 bets early today..
Pelicans -1.5 @ 1.90 – 1.3 Points *Write up above*
Spurs -14 @ 1.90 – 1.1 Points.
I hate double digit spreads but I have to take the Spurs line. It’s only going to get shorter imo, so get on it quick if you fancy it.
Hopefully it’s a 2-0 night.
Good luck.

Well, what can I say about the Euroleague this season!?! Not much apart from it’s made me look a fool on too many occasions. PAOK were thrashed by Oldenburg the other day and even high flying Valencia were done by a poor Limoges team. Think that’s me done with any kind of substantial betting in this competition….far to unpredictable.
Not much domestic games today so I’m afraid I’ll be delving back into the Euroleague but with a small stakes Fivefold for some interest…

Great stuff last night lads on the NBA.
Johnb smashing the bookies with a backhand on the tennis.
The winners thread! ;)
Andre Drummond missed an NBA record 23 free throws last night (13-36). Steph Curry has only 22 free throw misses on his 237 attempts all year haha.
Spurs have what should be an easy game in Phoenix tonight so do not be surprised if anybody rests. Tony Parker is already out and they are on the road against the Lakers tomorrow night. Suns are seriously hurting with injuries but one man who is stepping up is rookie Devin Booker who shot a career high 32 points against the Pacers the other night. Every time I have bet on him he hasn’t won but the very next game he goes off so hopefully I get the rub of the green tonight.
I’ve looked at Cousins points and rebounds total for his last few games and thought it looked high, but
each time he has said ‘F U’ to Paddy Power and brought it in 8 of his last 9 games. Set at 38.5 @ 5/6 @ PP tonight but he can’t be stopped at the moment.
Blake Griffin will not be available once more for the Clippers visit in Cleveland so I’m inclined to take JJ Redicks points tonight after his 40 point performance against Houston and 22 against Sacramento. He has hit his last 16-25 3 pointers but his price is a bit bad @ 4/5 for 17.5 points. I think we’ll be able to get the same total @ 10/11 @ Skybet later on so I’ll check in later.
Danilo Gallianari his hit somewhat of a hot streak recently for the Nuggets scoring at least 20 points in his last 8 of 9 games. In 7 of those he has scored 23 points or more so his points and rebounds total at 24.5 @ 4/5 @ PP might be worth a look.
Will post what I’m actually taking later but those are the thoughts.
Forgot to mention Bookers total is only 12.5 @ 5/6 @ PP.
Cska moscow to win with Hunter’s overs in the Bball game Real vs Barca . 2/1
Crawford’s overs look decent, he’s beat them in his last 5.
I just hate taking players off of the bench though!
Eric Gordon is out for the Pelicans for 4-6 weeks due to surgery, meaning more minutes for Jrue Holiday who will start tonight.
His total is currently set at 13.5, which I think is pretty low, worth a shot..
Jrue Holiday Over 13.5 Points @ 1.83 (PP) – 1.2 Points.
Good luck.
@johnb & @the lucky Filipino thanks for the tip and cover advice, after he won the first two sets I let it ride for a great winner so thanks both

Any thoughts on the clippers vs cavs lads? Clippers look huge at 21/10 ml.
Sale over 22.5 points look a good shout. Both teams playing for a win to get out of the group top. Sale has plenty of strength in the line up, Cipriani will look to prove the selectors wrong with a lot of weapons out wide. No rain, little wind, pretty good condition for running ruggers.
Sale over 22.5 currently 5/6 at Bet365, worth a few loose change me thinks.
Cycling: Tour Down Under 2016 stage 4
Not sure what to expect from this stage. It could be a simple sprint or some teams will try to lose the sprinters on the hilly terrain. If they lose the pure sprinters below guys have a really good chance. Small stakes
Gerrans EW @ 34.00
Lobato EW @ 26.00
Both with Betway.
I think their cycling guy is asleep, they have Pelucchi as 2nd favourite. He left the race 2 days ago, also Gerrans is priced huge compared with others.
Had some good success with my Evens Doubles recently, and I have another tonight..
Cavs ML
Spurs / Suns Under 208
Double @ Evens – 1 Point.
I’ll lump on that one too :D
I’ve upped my stake slightly, 1.5 Points.
1 Point didn’t seem worthy haha.
Good luck.
The mighty duke im on your double mate..?
Picks for tonight:
– Suns under 92.5 team pts: Spurs allow a average of 89.6 pts … against a poor Suns team they shouldn’t allow more than that.
– Grizzlies -2: Nuggets have been impressive lately, but I’m leaning towards the Grizzlies and hope their defense shows up.
– Spurs -10 & Cavs -2 (Double): Spurs should really blow away the Suns but the line has gone up to -16 now (opened at -14) so I’m doubling it with Cavs -2. I’m expecting the Cavs to show up for their home crowd after that ugly loss against the Warriors.
GL tonight!
Good luck man, a strong selection.
Sale over 22.5 in at half time. Using a bit of this winnings on Sale -27.5 in play.
Sale dominating all aspect of the game, keeping the ball in hand, offloading, playing expansive rugby. Dragons look awful right now.

Hey @jordan has the cousins prop disappeared from b365? can’t see it…..
It certainly has mate. Strange.
Just had a look at some injury news, Rudy Gay is questionable for Sacramento so they’re obviously worried that if he’s out they might have to adjust their props. You’ll notice all the player props for that game have gone.
Cheers, makes sense now.

Looks like the winners thread is in full flow as usual. Shout out to @shottyfor landing that big one
Well, what can I say about the Euroleague this season!?! Not much apart from it’s made me look a fool on too many occasions. PAOK were thrashed by Oldenburg the other day and even high flying Valencia were done by a poor Limoges team. Think that’s me done with any kind of substantial betting in this competition….far to unpredictable.
Not much domestic games today so I’m afraid I’ll be delving back into the Euroleague but with a small stakes Fivefold for some interest…
EuroHoops Fourfold
Tampereen (+10.5) ***WON***
Turk Telekom (-10) ***WON***
Efes (-4) ***LOST***
Kuban (-2) ***WON***
Barcelona (+8) ***WON***
Fivefold @ 8/1 Skybet – 1pt staked.
Good luck!
——————
4 from 5 ? Could have gone either way with a minute to go but Efes lost their discipline in the 3rd and gave Cedvita the cousion they needed.
Well done hunter! Did a mix of a double, treble and a four fold with your acca, won about 30£ from a 80£ stake on all the accas. Thanks if efez won would’ve won over 200£
Evening lads .. So far a good start in the Australian open .looking for my 4th nap in a row and its gonna be in the Serena game..
1. Nadal vs verdasco – over 3.5 sets 5/4 *won*
2. Serena vs hseih under 1hr 25 mins 22/25 *won*
3. Murray vs Sam groth
Game under 1 hour 96mins 22/25….*won*
4. Serena vs kasatkina – match to be under 1 hour 24 mins 22/25 on unibet.. 1.88 (NAP)
Loving these unibet time market so far at odds of 1.88 not bad when ur staking £100 for £88 profit so think I will continue until I run into a wall..lol
Serena vs kasatkina – we all know how ruthless Serena can be and if she plays her very best should end this match in under a hour.. Kasatkina had 2 good opening matches winning both 2-0.. Against Serena though I think she will struggle to keep up with her power , and I can see a straight set win in hopefully under a 1hour and 24..
Other bets I considered as a main bet is federer match to be over 3.5 sets at 5/4..dimitrov manage to get his first set over the Swiss in their match beginning of the season and though I don’t like betting against the master fed , I think the Bulgarian will get another set off him tonight..
Over 3.5 sets (NB) 5/4 unibet
Tsonga vs Herbert
Just thought I’d include this as its a gut feeling .match to have no tie breaks..7/5 ,. Got a feeling tsonga will get at least one break in each set..
No tie break at 7/5 unibet..
Good luck all
Ukrainian Basketball Single
Cherkasski should win this but by 16 points is doubtful. These two only played a few days ago and Lutsk covered this handicap with a final score of 88-96. I think we could see a similar result today if not a closer contest.
Volynbasket Lutsk (+15.5) @ 888 – 2pts staked. ***WON***
Good luck!
—————-
As predicted, Volyn were a lot closer to their opponents this time and easily covered the spread.
Jordan. What is your take on the afc/ nfc championship matches mate ?
Funny you say that mate, I’ve just spent the last half an hour doing a write up for a few props which is in moderation. You might not have seen my bet earlier this week but I took the Cardinals Over 20.5 Team Points @ 5/6 @ 365 but it has now gone up a point
Not put NFL up for a while but my early thoughts are
Denver Broncos 6/4 william hill to beat New England
Denver Broncos v Carolina Panthers final 3/1 ladbrokes
Denver Broncos v New England
Denver h/t Draw f/t 35/1 skybet
Dragons were never in the game.
Sale over 22.5 – Win
Sale -27.5 – Win
Neat profit to build the bank.
Few bets from me tonight
Federer win
Serena williams under 12.5 total match games
Spurs -9.5
0.97/100 £200 on it
Pelicans ml
Nuggets ml
Mavs under 92.5 points
£20 returns £136
Anyone following the first bet cover will be available if the spurs & fed get the job done due to serena willìams match not starting until 8:10 am
Taking this based on assumption and generally wouldn’t go against the way I pick my NFL props but I feel this is fairly low considering his production in recent weeks, and the fact the Broncos will be wanting the ball away from Brady as much as possible. Ronnie Hillman has been the lead carrier for Denver since Andersons turf toe injury, but since his return, Anderson has been the much more productive back. Since Week 8, Anderson has boasted a healthy yards-per-carry average. In fact, his 6.12 yards per carry during that time is the best in the NFL. Like Adrian Peterson he is also a back that gets stronger as the game goes on. This is probably helped by the fact defenses get fatigued as the game goes on, and in Denver even more so with the high altitude. Might be a slight risk but I think this is fairly low considering he could start ahead of Hillman and should have a heavy dose of the run to limit the time of the Pats possession.
NFL Sunday – AFC Championship – 8:05PM
CJ Anderson (Denver Broncos) Over 50.5 Rushing Yards @ 10/11 @ William Hill – 2.2 points
Last week we saw just how suspect the Carolina secondary could be with injuries to two of their starting corners. Russell Wilson hooked up with all three of his wide receivers on multiple occasions with Kearse, Lockett and Baldwin all ending the game with over 75 yards receiving. Larry Fitzgerald would be the easy play here after his monster game against the Packers last week with 176 yards receiving from 8 receptions, but 75 of those were in OT, and he’s not their receiver who can take the top of the defense and will likely be running the short/intermediate routes. Michael Floyd was held fairly in check against Sam Shields, and my assumption would be that Josh Norman will be following Floyd for the majority of the game. Which leaves us with the speedster John Brown. Brown has the ability to blow coverage on any defense and had a good game last week against the Packers, hauling in 5 of 9 targets for 82 yards. As with the Seattle receivers, I think all of the Cardinals receivers have a case for bringing in their totals. A) The obvious injuries on the Panthers secondary, and B) The Panthers are being favoured to win this one once again, so Palmer might be letting it fly more than usual.
Best totals at the moment.
Larry Fitzgerald Over 68.5 @ 10/11 @ William Hill
Michael Floyd Over 49.5 @ 10/11 @ Skybet (Respect being shown for Norman in my opinion)
John Brown Over 58.5 @ 5/6 @ 365
You could argue that the way to go could be to take Palmers passing yards which are 280.5 @ 10/11 @ William Hill. If I had to take them now, in order it would be Brown, Fitzgerald, Palmer then Floyd. Will give an update on that one at the weekend as I’m not entirely sure at the moment.
Going to post another long shot as I’ve got a free fiver bet
Not as confident on this one but nice odds…
Spurs -13.5
Cavs -5.5
Hawks ML
Pelicans ML
£5 returns £50
Long shot shotty ? Gutted I weren’t on ur 18/1 but gonna have a go this time haha ..good luck mate fivers in..
Haha hopefully I can pull of another one mate starting tonight! Good luck!
Just noticed Marc Gasol (Memphis Grizzlies) has a low PR&A total of 26.5 @ 4/5 @ PP which is probably worth the 2.5 to return the round 2 points.
Looks like a great spot, I wonder if he’s always been that low!
I imagine so mate. Not often you see a huge jump in these markets unless you find an error. Haven’t seen one since your Cousins bet. I’d say all the bets I’ve posted tonight are good shouts. As always I hope haha
main bet:
Cavs -1.5
Pistons +7.5
just under Evens.
i like pistons to win but being a pussy, eric gordan is out which is huge, i like pistons to smother pels offence and nick the win, cavs should win at home against the clippers in a high scoring game.
Mad Acca:
Cavs/Clippers over 202
Pistons ML
Nuggets +7.5
Spurs -11.5
Kings/Hawks over 211
Thiem/Goffin over 38 games
20/1
GL all!
Johnb. Yeah i fancy denver to beat new england. That is a good price. jordan. Can see the nfc game going over 50 points.
Already been highlighted by a few of the regulars, and I can’t see past the Spurs with a big victory and keeping the Suns under 85 points. I also can’t see the Spurs scoring 124 points so I’m going high stakes on the double….
Spurs (-9.5)
Spurs / Suns (Under 209)
Double @ Evens Bet365 – 10pts Staked.
Good luck tonight lads!
On it hunter £100 in…got it on 1.96…good luck mate..gonna go sleep and hopefully good news when I wake up haha…?
Same 100£ on this and going bed now, good luck !
Christ the Pistons are just as up and down as tye Wizards lately. Gonna do me out o a heap today if they cant put a dent unto the -19 points halftime deficit!
Said Spurs would rest players. Tim Duncan will not play. That means we could see more of Big Boban!
Redick isn’t going to get his total I know it. Stuck on 17 and the Cavs playing hack-a-Jordan…
Booker starting and up to 15.5 on Paddy!
So its gone up 3. Nice. Saw the Suns have Knight out too so that’s probably why.
Clippers towel thrown. SAKES! Swear 99% of my losers are from injuries or because coaches throw in the towel!
JJ Redick (LA Clippers) Over 17.5 Points @ 4/5 @ PP – 2.5 points **LOSE** 17 and missed a free throw which is almost as shocking as Drummond making one ?
Friedsam to beat vinci 5/2.
That hacking rule is pathetic but to be fair as NBA superstars you should be able to make shots form the free throw line. Look at Cousins. Best center in the league by a mile. Even hitting 3’s this season!
Gasol smashed it
;)
Great spot bud, looked waaay too low!
Doc rivers is a jackass ffs even stevie wonder could see what tactic cavs would use when drummond is on the field, what purpose did is son serve in the match tonight? Why bring on reddick with 6 minutes left and pull him back out with 3 minutes left ffs
Hahaha for a start its Jordan not Drummond mate, but both basically identical player wise. Rebound/dunking beats, awful at anything else. They gave Jordan a huge contract in the off season to stay but I reckon they should have let him walk.
Lol sorry mate i am just fuming, if shaq can learn to take free throw why can’t he? Ffs i reckon they should give him a huge contract to leave
Booker beasting ;)
Bet I jinx it but remaining 3 are looking good. Gallinari, Cousins and Booker.
Not sure why Nuggets aren’t feeding Gallinari more, he’s deadly driving to the rim and from the 3 point line!
He’ll take over in in 4th (he says). Keep an eye on the Spurs game for when Boban comes in. You won’t miss him…
I’m hoping Gasol doesn’t get too many more PRA so his overs stays lower haha
I wish Will Barton would F*CK OFF!
Please go to OT!
WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST GO FOR A 2?!?!?!??!
I wasn’t watching it mate but kept seeing his shooting % go down on gametracker with Bartons going up!
Denver had an open look for a 2 but kicked it out to Gallinari who shot a running jumping to the side 3 that wasn’t even close haha
Ffs gallinari miss the shot to win basically win the match and go over is points total FML
Can’t even write a proper sentence no more *fuming*
Hahaha
? Gallinari stinks up the place. Bed time. Hope for 3 of 5 when I arise.
Haven’t even been watching basketball for that long but I’ve seen so many teams lose games going for a 3 when they’re losing by 2 and missing.
Generally in the clutch its easier to get a three off as the lanes will be protected for two and you don’t necessarily have time to dribble to get contact for a foul. That’s my assumption anyway but I didn’t see it. Whenever @huggybear518 tips Gallo we know to stay away ;) (kidding hugster)
Grizzlies single 0.8 won
Friedsam 5/2 Won
Today’s bets:
Clippers to beat New York 5/6 & Spurs vs Lakers game over 196 = 2.8/1 double
Clippers to win single evens (NBA)
Facundo Arguello to win single evens(ITF)
Annika beck to win 4/6(Open)
