ENGLAND are the 11-8 favourites to compound South Africa's misery by winning the final Test which gets under way today.
Stuart Broad and Joe Root are expected to do the damage with Root 8-1 at William Hill to be named man of the match and Broad 9-1.
England have already wrapped up series victory and South Africa, 2-0 down, are 7-4 at Stan James to claim a consolation victory while a draw pays 10-3 at Skybet.
Elsewhere there's more top tennis action from the Australian Open right through tonight and also plenty of NBA basketball to get your teeth into.

Bondarenko couldn’t quite do it after winning the first set and going to 8/13 in running, she had chances to break serve in the 2nd & 3rd sets but didn’t take them
Bondarenko lost 4-6 6-2 6-4
The double is still running though and NAP still to come
good work johnB, your NAP looks good today..

South Africa v England
Been looking into the stats to the 4th test at Centurion
AB De Villiers in 17 innings here has an average of 68.05 per innings
with 4 x 100’s & 5 x 50’s
HM Amla in 12 innings here has an average of 85.27 per innings
with 4 x 100’s & 4 x 50’s
Looking at this I like two bets
HM AMLA to score a half century 13/8 stan james
HM AMLA to score a century 11/2 william hill stan james
Great tipping, regreting not putting a bet on it
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.
Think Norman will probably follow Fitz… I know Fitz usually line up in the slot and Norman plays number 1 corner rather than nickel but I personally think the Panthers will put their number 1 corner on Cards number 1 WR. This will make Floyd’s yardage very attractive. And if Norman does cover Floyd, that will be a serious mismatch, giving up a lot of height and weight, so either way, that Floyd yards is very attractive!
I’m not so sure on that assumption. Can’t have Norman on Fitz in the slot and leave Floyd and Brown burning the outside.

Cycling: Tour Down Under 2016 stage 4
Lobato EW @ 26.00 LOST :( boooo
Gerrans EW @ 34.00 WIN :)
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.
***
That’s how to punish them! I am sure Gerrans has won the overall now. Let’s hope Henao gets his stage win tomorrow!
Good stuff Mr O!
@waystrong I missed it watching the race, but Henao seems to have a 8 second gap on Porte in the overall now :)
Hi mr O, thanks i tried to get on the tips for stage 4 but had a nightmare with betway, did gerrans win stage 4 or come placed? So henao looking good then? if he has a good stage tomorrow should be in?
But did get him at corals 13.00 no where near your price but just seen results, cheers buddy if henao comes in aswell i owe you a few beers mate. I kept checking 365 inplay and caleb was odds on for ages so forgot about it.
Porte has to beat Henao on tomorrow’s finish now and take more than a 8 sec gap. Can’t see that happen.
lets hope goes to plan then, thanks Mr Orange your officially a cycling expert.
Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns) Over 12.5 Points @ 5/6 @ PP – 2.4 points **WIN** 24
Danilo Gallinari (Denver Nuggets) Over 24.5 Points and Rebounds @ 4/5 @ PP – 2.5 Points **LOSE** 20 :(
JJ Redick (LA Clippers) Over 17.5 Points @ 4/5 @ PP – 2.4 points **LOSE** 17 :(
DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings) Over 41.5 PR&A @ 10/11 @ 365 – 3.3 points **WIN** 44
Marc Gasol (Memphis Grizzlies) Over 26.5 PR&A @ 4/5 @ PP – 2.5 points **WIN** 37
Redick by one who missed a free throw where he is almost automatic and Gallinari had a bad night of shooting despite scoring 17. Still, better night than yesterday. Well done to the winners.
Said the Spurs would rest players and we got to see big Boban Marjanovic (search him and tell me he isn’t human). Monster game for a monster of a man.
Nice work Jordan? Booker prop almost done by HT….that lads got some trigger on him. And yes, Marjanovic is a monster, with good hands I may add!!
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. ***WON***
Good luck tonight lads!

Nice little £200 pot to start the day with. Well done to the usual suspects on what looks like a profitable night for most.

A win feels that little bit sweater when you post a write up and it pays off, Pelicans beating Pistons rather convincingly.
A profitable one for me, 3-1 on the night and we prove once again that this is the official winners thread.
Week Totals 7-4.
Sweeter* lol.
Nice tips bud? Here’s hoping for the same again today!
Good stuff Raoul, analysis were spot on yesterday.
I didn’t get posting my bets last night so I’ll not bother listing them now. Ultimately, with a little more discipline, I ended the day with 2.24pt profit. Nothing ground breaking but profit is profit. The big boys (GSW and Spurs) play again tonight so here’s hoping for some further profit. I’ll hopefully get my bets up at some point today. Well done to all those who were on winners last night!
Big shoutout to all the lads I followed last night … @raoul for the double.. @hunter for the Spurs double and @jordan for the booker points..(the bookies must be crazy putting his points total so low lol. Ain’t complaining doh hope they carry on doing it.booker smashed it.11 out of 12 tips now mate haha…damn that Valencia for ruining the run ?)
Cheers lads!the winners thread in full flow again!!!!
Ps: @shotty could have been the icing on the cake with your second long shot but Hawks didn’t win..unlucky mate so close man ??..

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
*WON*
Winner’s thread in full force again! Spurs didn’t dissapoint, they even gave the Suns some hope in the 3rd quarter before speeding up in the 4th and making the -16 spread look like a joke. Only the Grizzlies didn’t provide, they won but missed 1 point for the spread, after winning the 1st quarter comfortably they just let the Nuggets get back in the game.
Congrats to all winners!

Belgium EuroHoops Single
I’m expecting a high scoring game here. Spirou are a decent scoring team who register around 151 ppg which is a good bit below the given overs. This being said, they are up against a free-scoring Linburg team who have suffered a few setbacks of late and will be fired up for this. I’d expect them to control the tempo and force Spirou to follow suit. I’m calling this at 165 points.
Spirou / Linburg (Over 162.5) @ Evens Skybet – 2pts staked.
Good luck!

Malaga @ Zvezda
The tournaments surprise package Zvezda could be one step closer to securing a quarter final place if they win this duel against Malaga. These two have never met before but Malaga do have a poor away record against Zvezda’s local rivals Partizan. As the spread suggests, this should be a close encounter but I expect the odds to shorten if Quincy Miller is ruled fit enough to play.
Given Zvezda’s exploits in the Euroleague this season and their unrivalled home support, I’m going to side with them with or or without Miller in what should be an entertaining game.
Zvezda (-2) @ 5/6 Skybet – 1.1pts staked.
Good luck!

As they say let in rain ?????..haha..great stuff mate..?
Quality tipping

Euroleague Single
Brose @ Khimki
Don’t have much to say about this encounter but I’d expect over 160 points. Both teams are more than capable of registering 80 points against any team in Europe. Previous H2H ended with 168 points which shows good value on today’s given total. Assuming both teams do as well as they usually do from their 3-point percentages, I’d expect this to end with over 160 points.
Brose / Khimki (Over 159.5) @ 5/6 PP
Good luck!
Just doing a little research on Tonights match against John isner vs F Lopez..
2 big servers in the game and I think evenly matched. we haven’t seen many 5 set matches in this grand slam so far but this potentially could be the one that goes all the way..
Last 5 H2H both have ended with 10 tiebreaks ..They don’t usually break each other due to their big serves so winning a set Is usually decided on tiebreaks..take for example the most recent game last year all the sets were tie breaks and in 2012 Australian open between the 2 ,the match ended in 5 sets..
Bets to consider , some odds quite low but could be chuck in a double or acca..
Total games over 44.5 – 5/6 (potential NAP) bet 365
Over 1.5 tiebreaks – 1/2 unibet
Tie break in the 1st set – 8/11 bet 365
Over 3.5 sets – 21/50 unibet
5 sets – 9/4 – skybet
Will decide later what my nap will be. Waiting for unibet time markets to come up..?..try make it 5 out of 5..

And my tennis NAP retires injured
Unlucky Johnb, bet was void with the bookie I used (odds are a bit lower generally but I really suggest people placing bets on tennis to use these types of bookies because players retiring is not uncommon…)
Still some profit with the first part of the double landing and the other being void as well.
@attiladathrilla, speaking for myself here, but I will usually state who I am following with a reply to their post or a mention in mine. Yesterday (regarding the NBA) it just happens that most of tips were the same or on the same idea (Spurs covering the spread, total score being under, …) and because of that, mostly winners on thread.
I’m personnaly not avoiding any losses but I’m not taking any bets I’m not comfortable with. Regarding the NBA, I stated I didn’t like prop bets and am avoiding those as well as double digit spreads, but will definitely take Jordan, Huggy and Raoul’s tips into account and follow their tips if I like them.
I don’t know sh*t about Tennis, but Filipino and Johnb seem to have success with their NAPs so those I’m just following blindy (with very sensible stakes).
There’s also a difference between the “thanks” (= I followed) and the “congrats” (= I didn’t follow but well done) replies … just because you know, we’re all being nice and because the “other sports thread = best thread” :-)
That was a reply to a message that has now disappeared :D
My original post was deleted – but i was wasnt targetting anyone, it just seems that only winners are ever mentioned by followers and that noone ever follows losing bets (over the past week or so). I follow fair share of winners and losers so was just wondering if im just the 1 unlucky sole following the bets that dont win haha
I gurantee you’re the only one who follows their fair share of losing tips! I can’t really think of a scenario where you’d post about a losing tip that someone followed, but at the same time, I think it’s only common courtesy to thank someone if you followed a winning tip. Just the way it works I guess.
Btw, Nice call on the Philippines Hoops. Was down at 156.5 by the time I noticed your post!
^not*
hunter, spot on. Why would someone acknowledge a losing tip. It’s all about winners and usually people are thanked for putting one up.
Its not just about winners mr fix, plenty of landmines to dodge along the way. Just mad when someone goes 1-4 and its all congrats on the 1 winner. Happens all the time, i don’t get it.
Anyways…
attiladathrilla, it is when you’re thanking someone. But your example is ridiculous – not many 1-4 shots put up never mind hailed.
attiladathrilla, I didn’t actually see it – admin must have deleted it.
From what’s been said were you asking people to thank others for losing bets.
If that’s the case I can understand why it would be deleted.
Of course people lose but they’d rather come on here after winning.
Keep a note of your bets, have a betting bank and pay to level stakes and you’ll see your own winners and losers.
I saw the original post and to be fair the way I read it was that he was querying the fact that someone puts up say 4 tips, 3 of which lose and one win and then there is lots of people thanking them for that one winner when overall it may be a loss on all 4. That was the way I read it anyway
Even so, if I follow that 1 winning tip I’m gonna thank the person for that!?! Equally, if I follow all 4 and 3 lose, I’m not gonna give them grief as I chose to follow those tips.
I agree but I think he meant how is getting the bad luck to manage to always find peoples losers when others manage to follow the ones that win. As I say I don’t know and don’t want to put words in peoples mouths
I hear ya bud. I just wanted to reassure Attila the he won’t be the only one who follows losers, it’s just that you will inevitably only hear about the winners.
Estonian EuroHoops
Rapla / Tarvas
Rapla go into this match having played their 7th game in 13 days. I can see this having a big affect on their tempo / scoring today. They also come off the back of a game in the Baltic league where they lost by a huge margin. I believe this is a clear sign that they are very much fatigued and will play out this game at a slow tempo. Tarvas have a great chance to cover the spread here but I’m going to go with unders.
Rapla / Tarvas (Under 153.5) @ 8/11 Stan James – 2pts staked.
Good luck!
**Posted Earlier**
***WON***
IN PLAY NOW (half time):
– San Miguel Beermen vs Alaska Aces UNDER 166.5 total point @ $1.87 ($50 on)
I like Clippers tonight and -1 is just too good value to ignore, don’t be suprised if this line moves to -2 or -3 later.
I can only presume the spread is soo low because Clippers are on a b2b..
I know Knicks have been money at home, but their last 2 looked a little shaky.. OT against Sixers and a comeback against Jazz.
Clippers are looking for a quick bounce back, and I think they bring Knicks good home streak to an end tonight.
LA Clippers -1 @ 1.90 (PP) – 1.3 Points.
Good luck.
Have to agree with Raoul and the line already moving to -2 at most places.
Other thoughts:
– Clippers/Knicks over 202.5 total.
– Spurs -15.5 : Don’t like double digit spreads but after yesterday’s blowout against the Suns (with a fully rotating Spurs team) they’ll probably blow out the Lakers too … Will probably take a lower spread and double it.
– Raptors : The line hasn’t come out yet but I expect a confident win at home against a lost Heat team (if line is too high, will probably double it with the Spurs).
– Warriors/Pacers over 216.5 : This could be a shooting slugfest.
Already taken the Raptors at -7.5. Seems more than double. I know what you mean about double digit spreads but Spurs hardly broke sweat against the Suns….Can’t see the Lakers casing too much resistance either.
Raptors/Spurs is really a double I’m liking … just waiting for the spread to be available with my bookies.
I like ur thoughts Oriaz… Warriors Pacers could easily end up a massive total. As for Raptors and Spurs, think ill halve the spreads and double em into Evens odds
@oriaz that’s the over 202.5 in the la clippers done mate just need your warriors/pacer overs..for a great double..fingers cross..?…
main bet:
Cavs -1.5
Pistons +7.5
just under Evens.*lost*
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 *won*
Pistons ML*lost*
Nuggets +7.5*won*
Spurs -11.5*won*
Kings/Hawks over 211*lost*
Thiem/Goffin over 38 games*won*
20/1*lost*
terribile decisions from me, originally had cavs over’s and thiem/goffin over’s as my nap’s, saw gordon was out & read waay too much into that, pistons shooting around 40% while pels were over 60% during the first half….. just goes to show always go with your gut/initial picks !
well done to all the winners!
@hunter im on your TTU bet, also do you think brose will cover?
fenerbache points total seems a bit low too.
Brose game could go either way….could say that about any Euroleague game this season! If I was to place a bet on the game, I’d personally go for Brose on the ML at low stakes. With regards to the Fenerbahce game, the total is set low but that’s down to previous H2H games….all have gone under this total and that’s enough to put me off.
One that does look tempting is Alexy Shved (Khmiki) to score over 17.5 points @ 5/6.
Given the Brose defence it wouldn’t surprise me if Khmiki were forced to shoot their fair share of 3’s and this is where Shved comes into his own.
For those interested (and since I don’t have all the same lines available with my bookies), here’s a 4-fold of @hunter singles. Took Zvezda out as hunter stated that could be a close game.
– Khimki/Brose over 150.5 pts
– Limburg/Spirou over 154.5 pts
– TTU +17.5 pts
– Tarvas/Rapla under 159.5 pts
2/1 @ Unibet
Also a Polish game between Polpharma / Czarni which looks great for overs. Anything above 150 would be a sound bet. Think their prevous H2H was 180+.
Given the unpredictability of the Euroleague I’d possibly swap it with Brose overs.
On this with you but with Polpharma game over 147.5 instead of Brose.
Fourfold @ 2.86/1 Unibet – 1pt on. Cheers bud, been meaning to place more bets like this?

Afternoon all. Seemed a good night from what I can see. Good stuff.
Thoughts for tonight.
Bulls/Celtics – No play. too close to call for me and there aren’t even any lines which I find strange as nobody too important is questionable for either side other than Noah who hasn’t been a factor for the Bulls.
The Hornets were keeping pace with OKC the other night until Batum and Zeller left the game and then they were blown away. Both will not play tonight on the road in Orlando and I think the Magic -3.5 at home could be a good bet. I thought about Walker who will have more workload but I was hit by the towel throwing syndrome that most NBA coaches do when they know they have no chance of a comeback so I’m a little hesitant to back Walkers totals in case it happens again.
JJ Redicks total is the same again in New York at 17.5 but I’m more inclined to take CP3’s PR&A at 35.5 as he is more involved in the offense, where as JJ is a lot like Klay Thompson and more of a spot shooter. Agree the -2 could be a good play but we’ve seen Hack-A-Jordan employed recently and could come down to that again tonight.
The Jazz should win in Brooklyn who have one win in their last 10 and are probably tanking for the rest of the season. Jazz much better defensively but I’d be inclined on team news as Derrick Favours is still questionable. Jazz are on their third road game but have taken the Knicks and Hornets to OT in those last two.
Heat are in free fall and agree the Raptors should put them away with a fair amount of ease. Whiteside and Dragic are definitely out with Wade, Udrih and Deng questionable. Spread out to -9.5 though so I’d be inclined to tease it down.
Dwight Howard is out for Houston with Pat Beverley questionable so I’d expect the beard to put the team on his shoulders as he did with a triple double in their loss against the Pistons, PR&A total at 39. Khris Middletons points might be a good total at 20.5 as the Rockets will have more emphasis on their deep shooting with Howard out. Clint Capella will log more minutes and 7.5 rebounds looks a nice total.
OKC in Dallas should be a good one and the only play I’d be inclined to take there is Westbrooks assists which is still at 9.5 at PP. Dirk Nowitzki is currently questionable.
The Pacers are at the Warriors and last time these two played the Warriors scored 79 points in the first half. George Hill is set to be out again so Monta Ellis will likely start at point guard and his points and assists at 20.5 could be the way to go there which he has landed in both of the games with Hill out.
Spurs are in LA after their blowout over the Suns this morning so I’d expect a similar performance from Pops boys. Be interesting to see who sits tonight with the big one approaching against the Warriors next, but its not until Monday night (Tuesday morning for us) so he might not rest anyone, the same with the Warriors who will get an equal amount of time off until this game.
That’s more or less every game covered so will check back in with my play later. Leaning toward the Magic -3.5 as the main bet.
While I’ve done that write up the spread for Orlando has gone out to -4 so I’m going to lock in a bet now.
Orlando Magic +4
Toronto Raptors -2
Golden State Warriors -4.5
Treble @ 1.02/1 @ 365 – 5 points
Nice write up Jordan! Good insight about the Magics game that I didn’t check yet.
Will be on that tasty trebble!
I also like Magic tonight, Oladipo is back too..
good luck
absolutely fantastic shout on the cricket 13/8 and an 11/2 winner , class and many thanks….
well thats TTU dead and buried before half time, doubt there will be a chance to cover either, spread is -27 atm..
Apologies bud. All stats pointed towards them covering. Covered all previous H2H and they were on a winning streak before today.
Get it while it’s hot :
– Spurs -11.5 / Raptors -5.5 (Double): Loads of injuries for the heat (McRoberts, Udrih, Deng, Wade). Nothing special on the Spurs side (but expect them to rotate).
I’m going to put all 3 of my bets tonight in 1 post..
LA Clippers -1 @ 1.90 – 1.3 Points
Orlando Magic -4 @ 1.90 – 1.2 Points
Milwaukee Bucks +3 @ 1.90 – 2.4 Points
I also like Bucks Money Line, but might see what I can get in play.
Good luck.
What an epic fail of a day!!! Everything I spent hours researching, the opposite happened from what I thought….think I’d cry if it wasn’t so ridiculously ludicrous. Thank God for last night’s NBA!
Apologies to anyone who followed….Hopefully get back on track tomorrow.
5 points on @humble-tipper‘s Raptors / Westbrook double and 5 points on Raptors -7.5 to hopefully clean up my mess.
Raptors are -11?
Bets were placed this morning at PP when humble-tipper posted it. They were the only bookies with the market at the time so just went for it. Glad I did now.
I see ?
thats the way she blows sometimes hunter! starting to get a chip on me shoulder tho ha, dont usually follow peoples tips on here, just use them to put in acca’s, saw your ridiculous winning streak and then proceeded to lose the next 6 bets! neither my fault nor your fault, just plan and simple bad luck!
your tipping is still second to none bud, and ive been using your tips to win me a ton of monies for nearly 2 years on here dude!
ps: this fenerbache game is a goldmine for points! have gone on over 187/190 already! look like it will go into the 200’s!
Rest assured, I don’t put up tips I haven’t researched thoroughly and hate it as much as you if not more if they fail. Can’t win them all but all winning streaks come to an end. Thankfiully I’ve been doing this long enough to not let it affect me as I know I’ll get back to winning ways. You know how it’s like bud. On the upside, there’s always someone on this thread with a hot streak. When you’ve had a bad day you know you can count on others to hopefully save the day. ?
Bit more of a gamble than last night’s Sale total but gonna chuck a few coins on Montpelier UNDER 27.5 (10/11)
Siding with Quinns strong looking line-up as well as the rain in France which has already led to one game being called off.

Steve Kerr taking his first game in charge tonight for the Warriors ?
My very first NBA Tips, I like to test myself studying new sports
Oklahoma City Thunder at Dallas Mavericks
Don’t know if anyone else has thought this but my view is that the spread & the Thunders total has been set too short, especially the spread, I don’t back odds on so I look for winning bets at bigger odds
I am thinking Thunder by 12 to 15 points so -9.5 really stands out to me
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER -9.5 points 6/4 NAP skybet
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER over 112.5 points 12/5 william hill
Licoln red imps inplay over 14.5 match goals 8/13 in a double with raptors over 98.5 points

As usual I know nothing about NBA but follow a few tips on here and it’s doing my balance lots of good.
Skybets enhanced is Celtics, jazz, warriors and Spurs to win at 13/8.
Any good or just a Skybet stinker lol?
Obviously throw a curve ball in..
Cetics / bulls could go either way
That’s fair mate. I’ll take the advice I think and stick with the bets you guys post as I can’t complain at all so far ?
Porzingis over 25.5 P R & S

following suit on here:
Raptors -6.5
OKC -1.5

wanted to take either raptors or OKC spread but raptors is a bit too high regardles of the injuries, and mavs have improved since they got destroyed by OKC last time
Mad acca:

Cycling: Tour Down Under 2016 stage 5
The uphill finish to Willunga Hill is on tonight.
Match-bets:
Henao to beat Woods
Machado to beat Taaramae
Double @ 2.20 with WH
Henao looks like he is the best climber in this race and is the favourite at the bookies to win this stage. I think he will win it and will beat Woods in the process.
Machado and Taaramae are team mates, so that’s make it a bit of a weird match-up. But Machado knows this climb very well and finished 3rd (2012), 5th (2013) and 7th (2015) in other editions of the Australian race. For Taaramae it’s his first finish up there.
The later stages of a slam is harder to find bigger odds winners but here goes
Australian Open
Johanna Conta v Denisa Allertova
JOHANNA CONTA -4.5 games 6/4 NAP paddy power
Madison Keys v Ana Ivanovic
ANA IVANOVIC to win 7/5 NB betvictor stanjames
I’m being tempted by Crawford o15.0 and Bradley o13.5, help!
@Jordan Howard is out for Houston and paddy have a line for Capella o7.5 Rebounds, think it could be worth a shot?
‘Dwight Howard is out for Houston with Pat Beverley questionable so I’d expect the beard to put the team on his shoulders as he did with a triple double in their loss against the Pistons, PR&A total at 39. Khris Middletons points might be a good total at 20.5 as the Rockets will have more emphasis on their deep shooting with Howard out. Clint Capella will log more minutes and 7.5 rebounds looks a nice total.’

Been following the basketball for the last 6 months thanks to btsport and insomnia ?. I started off blindly following some of Jordans picks with great success and over the past couple of months I’ve mainly only been betting on basketball. So first time posting my predictions but the mainly singles is the way to go if you can afford it.
*Pacers game is over 211.5

Evening lads ..sorry for the late post my sons christening today so only just got back home… Hoping to land another tennis NAP today and my choice is in the match between….
Angelique kerber vs Madison brengle.. match to be Under 1 hour 45 mins..22/25 unibet (NAP)
The pair have met 3 times with the German winning all 3 matches .. The recent h2h comes earlier in the year and kerber won the match in a hour and 3 mins.. They also had a 3 set match September last year that also ended under the time line set today..
I’ve seen jonB tip brengle to win earlier in the tournament but against the German and world number 6 I think she will lose for the 4th time in a row and in straight sets….same stake as the last 4 Naps £100 to get £88 profit…
I did a write up earlier in the thread on isner and Lopez and I still believe this match will go all the way to the end..
Isner vs F Lopez over 45.5 sets 5/6 unibet (NB)
Good luck if u follow…and good luck to everyone’s bets tonight…
Bradley’s overs land with 5 minutes left in the second :P
Lets hope you didn’t take Crawford ;)
I actually didn’t haha
Settled with Bradley and Westbrook assists, then maybe something in the later games too
Kemba has his total haha
Didn’t take Capella? 5 already.
I try to limit myself to 2 bets at once, just in case they all lose. :P
Should’ve got on it really, it did look good!
7 :(
Yep, Westbrook struggling for assists too without Adams! :(
Can’t believe he didn’t get it last game, their coach is a right w*nker!
He’s going to ruin my acca I can see it!
Aldridge will not play for the Spurs.
Wtf!? Magic have melted! Swear they were up by like 15 odd at the start of the 4th!
Absolute tw*ts…
FFS. Oladipo hits a 3 to take it to OT. Bet they f*ck it!
Big Acca down due to Magic crumbling big time ?
thought Oladipo had f#@ked it missing that 2 pointer but way to redeem yourself. Got Magic on ML other 2 Accas so still in with a shout by a ball hair!

15 point lead at the start of the 4th quarter. Would have rather Oladipo missed the shot to take it to OT, but no, they make it worse by voiding that part of my bet!
You complete bottle jobs Magic. Thank god I took the +4 in my main bet. PUSHED! Treble now a 7/10 double.
F#@k. Never thought I would have to take the Magic + any points tonight but taking them in ML twice was daft in hindsight ?
“All bets are off!”. Few times Magic have stung me there consistency sucks!
It wasn’t daft mate they are just sh*t. Can’t have a 15 point lead in the 4th and blow it like that. There are on the naughty list with the Wizards. Wouldn’t you know it, both Eastern teams.
Annoying though that the hornet’s went for it tonight and didn’t when we needed 3 points for Kemba!
They were in the game more that’s why mate. Came back straight away in the 4th where as the other night they went backwards. Way it goes. Kemba even got his PR&A in points alone.
@nick I’m sticking a bit on Monta, been pretty much bang on with my props tonight. Follow if you dare.
Just points or P+A?
In a double with spurs -16.5
P&A
On it mate!
They are gonna need a big night lets put it that way! It was that or George PR&A at 34.5 but he’s not let me down the last two games. Third times a charm? Haha night gents!
Well this is just my luck :P
Yep, there’s his 3rd foul 5 seconds into the 2nd quarter lol
King curry
49 foot
I thought you had made a mistake with +4 Jordan but I couldn’t log in earlier to ask you as most were thinking -4 or very least ML I made a arse of it really taking them ML twice!!?? ?
@Jordan Ellis gets 15 points 1 assist in the 3rd, wish he’d have played more than 5 minutes in the first half!
Pray for Ellis to play in the 4th!
Adelaide u21 over 4 5 goals
Tenner on
Can’t believe the Monta overs has landed, 0 points and assists in the first half haha
Cheers Jordan!
Good job I didn’t stay up then as the tv would have gone through the window!
