ROGER FEDERER rolled back the years in a classic Australian Open Final to defeat old rival Rafa Nadal – but will it be the Swiss master's only Grand Slam success of the year?
Bet365 have priced up the market on Fed's major title haul this season and reckon Melbourne will be as good as it gets, with exactly one Grand Slam for the 35-year-old just 1-8.
For two it's 9-2, three pays 28-1 and the clean sweep of all four is 150-1 for the man commonly referred to as the greatest of all time.
Novak Djokovic is 10-3 to win more Grand Slams than Federer in 2017 while beaten Melbourne finalist Nadal is 9-4 to win one major crown before the season ends and 2-7 to fail to his add to his career tally of 14.
Today's sporting action is pretty sparse but Jordan's the man for NBA tips and free free to add any picks of your own.

GSW -5.5 **LOST**
Poor start to my NBA ventures! Onwards and upwards eh?
Week : 0-1
Season : 0-1
No many winners here am away back to the fitba lol.
There is more consistent winners on this thread Jim you’ve just picked a bad day. Won’t be much football to bet on today. Keep your money for tomorrow.
Haven’t seen that for a few years. Knicks and Hawks go to 4OT. Brutal.
Had to give up watching after the 3rd period of OT. The Knicks were unlucky….. had Carmelo not fouled out the Knicks would probably have won!
Hope nobody threw money at the Pro Bowl. Players more interested in dancing than playing. Total was very high, would have hated to take a short odds punt and not even get halfway.
** POSTED YESTERDAY **
EURO BASKETBALL
Italian League 1 Basketball
This bet is based on a history of unders between these two teams! The first meeting this season ended with 153 points. In the last 5 H2H, these two teams were under 159.5 points (121, 157, 153, 108 and 153 points). On this basis, the given line is too high for me.
Venezia @ dOrlando (11:00GMT)
Total Points: Under (159.5) @ 10/11, Coral – 1.6pts staked. **LOST** (In OT) ❌

Some misfortune and poor performances meant a big loss on the Euro hoops. Hopefully bounce back today.

Warriors @ Trail Blazers (02:05GMT)

Double @ 1/1, Skybet – 3pts staked. ***WIN***✔
Good luck!

Thanks to this and 3pts on @raoul-duke Cavs 1st Half Spread I managed to finish the day with a 0.1pt loss. Delighted with that!
Well done to all winners!
Not many lines out yet but still like this regardless. The Heat are riding a 7 game win streak and host the Nets at home who have only tasted victory twice in their last 20 games. Should be a home win and the -3 on the alternate spread looks good to me.
Phoenix host Memphis at home where the Grizzlies have a good record in Arizona over the years. Phoenix play some of the fastest paced ball in the league while Memphis play some of the slowest. Fast pace doesn’t usually trend well against defensive teams when you’re giving up points on the other end, which is the case for Phoenix. I think Grizz get the W but I’m torn between two markets. You can get Memphis on the ML @ 8/13, or Over 100.5 Team Points @ 4/11. The Suns have given up 101+ to opponents in their last 10, but Memphis aren’t known for their high output of points, partly due to their time of possession. It’s a risk but I’ll take the ML.
Heat -3
Grizzlies ML
6/5 @ Skybet – 2.5 points
Turkish BSL Basketball
Not much of a card today in the Euro hoops but there’s two matches in Turkey I like the look of for unders…..
Darussafaka @ Tofas (16:00GMT)

Istanbul @ Efes (17:00GMT)
Total Points: Under (177.5)
Double @ 97/100, Bet365 – 2.6pts staked.
Good luck!
NBA 30/01
Orlando Magic @ Minnesota Timberwolves
Magic + 8.5 @ 1.90 (PP)
I’ll add some reasoning later.
I just think Orlando will keep this one close, they’re pretty good on b2b games, and go into this one with high confidence and momentum – after a big win in Toronto last night.
I don’t trust the Timberwolves to cover 2 big spreads in a row. They’ve covered back to back games as favourite just once this season, and are 5-12 ATS (29.4%) after a win.
Early NBA Leans
Pistons vs Celtics
Waiting on team news on this one.. if al horford don’t play again tonight I’m going for Drummond to cover his point lines again – over 15.0 points at 8/11 PP abit short for a single but will wait for P&R lines to come..for sure celtics will struggle against Andre in the paint,..
Second Lean is Darren collision over 13.5 points.5/6 PP.. since Gay has been injured collision has stepped up and Contributed well ..January he has averaged 15 points per game.. he been more aggressive since Gays injury and I expect him to continue his good scoring form tonight and take off some of the scoring burden off cousins shoulder.. another 14 to 15 point game looks likely in their match up in Philly..
Locking in my first bet tonight
Darren collision (kings) over 13.5 points 5/6 PP
Good luck lads
NBA Double
Kings @ 76ers (23:10GMT)
Total Points: Over (196.5)
Nets @ Heat (00:40GMT)
Points Spread: Heat (-3)
Double @ 1/1, Skybet – 3pts staked.
Good luck!
Sacramento Kings @ Philadelphia 76er’s
Kings – 3.5 @ 1.90 (PP).
Betting against the 76er’s has proven to be costly lately, but I can’t see past the Kings tonight.
Reason being they go to Houston tomorrow night, in what is the last of an 8 game road trip. I’m expecting the Kings to go all out for the win against a 76er’s team without Embiid.
Houston Rockets is definitely the play tomorrow, waiting to see what the line opens as.
Good luck all.
I waited for the Embiid news but it was too late. Like it. They burned me even without him last time but think you’ll be fine.
Yea lets hope so!
Good luck with your bets tonight.
And you bud.
Tonight looks like a night for the chalk so I’m sticking a point on an acca and leaving out the Cavs.
Kings +2.5
Heat -3
Celtics ML
Timberwolves -4
Grizzlies ML
6/1 @ Skybet – 1 point
Might have a prop but waiting for PP to pull their finger/fist out.
Goran Dragic (Heat) Over 27.5 Points and Assists @ 5/6 @ PP – 2.4 points
I’m following Hunter tonight with the add-on of over 199.5 points in the Timberwolves game.
NBA treble:
Miami Heat -3
76ers V Kings o196.5
Timberwolves V Magic o199.5

43/50 @ coral
@the lucky filipino gone with a double just under evens instead of pushing my luck with a treble
@humble-tipper lol was looking for bolt everywhere but found him..on the double dude.but added stosur to win one set to make treble 1.28/1..
Stosur been playing terrible of late.but she’s won both h2h games and should manage to get one set at least….well I hope ?..Good luck mate
Lol was looking at stosur but just can’t trust the form she is in, hopefully she gets it together. Good luck mate @the lucky filipino
Lebron 25+ points and cavs win at 5/4. PP..
Late one for me- but without love LBJ and Irving should run the court tonight and combine well..won’t be surprise to see a 30+ game from him tonight..good luck and good night..
