BRITISH No.3 Kyle Edmund is through to his first ATP quarter-final today as he looks to defy the odds against Tomas Berdych in Doha.
Edmund edged past Spain's Daniel Munoz de la Nava to set up a crack at the world No.5 but the Brit isn't fancied to go any further with Skybet and bet365 pricing him up at 11-2.
Berdych is 1-7 at marathonbet for the win, 2-5 at Paddy Power to get the job done in straight sets and 13-17 at Unibet with a minus 4.5 game handicap.
Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal are also in last-eight action today while Roger Federer takes to the court in Brisbane this morning against Tobias Tamke.
On the oche it's second-round action from the BDO darts World Championship while there's a four-match NBA card for the hoops heads.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear all your sporting tips and chat.
Anyone fancy anything on the tennis ?
Thinking of:
Benoit paire
Aljaz bedene
Gilles muller
£250 treble @1.41/1
Maybe add John B’s NAP/NB which does look very strong to make it a fourfold at 3.83/1.
Maybe change paire to selby in the snooker. 1/2 to beat a guy who he has beaten the previous 6 times and who is in no form whatsoever this week. I’ll have some of that
Before you read this the spread has already gone back up to 4.5 at Skybet but can still get -4 at other bookmakers for a shorter price. http://www.oddschecker.com/american-football/nfl/seattle-seahawks-at-minnesota-vikings/point-spread
Can’t believe what I’m seeing to be honest here. The Seahawks/Vikings spread is now down to -4 for Seattle. It could go down more which would be handy, but I’m going to take this now. When these two met in week 13, Peterson ran for 18, yes, EIGHTEEN yards. Last week in Green Bay he was coming in with a sore back and missed the majority of the second half. I’ve suffered back pain in my years, but back pain in 0 degree weather? No thanks.
A few things people would take into account is that Seattle are on b2b road trips but it doesn’t make it a huge factor such as NBA teams as the rest periods are longer. Timezone is another factor but when Seattle came and blew out the Vikes it was a 6:00PM GMT kickoff, it’ll be 5 minutes later this weekend. Weather is another factor. This game could possibly be the coldest NFL game in history (I heard that on a preview, unsure if its true) but either way the forecast is set to a ridiculous -19 degrees in Minneapolis with a small chance of rain (which will obviously be snow). It doesn’t get that cold in Seattle but it is cold, and Russell Wilson used to play for the badgers in Wisconsin, so he’s known cold weather before.
Minnesota did beat my Packers on Sunday, and congrats to them. But it wasn’t a dominating victory. In fact if Aaron Rodgers hadn’t of fumbled for a TD or thrown an interception when James Jones was wide open, we may not have even been talking about this game as Seattle would have been heading to Green Bay. The Packers dominated the stats in time of possession, yards and first downs, but ultimately didn’t score as many points when mattered.
Teddy Bridgewater has been ok for Minnesota this year, his first full season, but not great. Statistically, the Vikings could be the worst team in the playoffs, ranking 29th in total offense, and 13th in total defense. If the Seahawks can shutdown Peterson again and force Teddy to win it for Minnesota, they’ll be in big trouble in my opinion. Back when Seattle won in the blowout, they weren’t as high in the offense and defensive rankings as they are now. 2nd in total defense and 4th in total offense, with whispers of Marshawn Lynch returning to practice this week (now probable) he might not be 100% to go, but even with him taking some snaps, Wilson in perhaps the best form of his career, and Seattle playing lights out on the defensive end, I think this points to an easy Seattle win, despite what the number are doing.
NFL Wildcard Round – Seattle Seahawks @ Minnesota Vikings – Sunday – 6:00PM
Seattle Seahawks -4 @ 10/11 @ Skybet – 22 points
Would you have took it at the same stake in -4.5 do you think?
Also what are your thoughts on the skybet enhanced 7/1 Chiefs, Seahawks, steelers, packers
Having a poor night on the nba lol
I’m going to make this my first ever NFL bet.
Am following but with a more sensible stake :D
Its sensible if you can afford it @oriaz.

The mighty duke is back..?.. Told ya u would bounce bk tonight ??.. Good wins there mate..gutted i didn’t get on your Anthony Davis prop ..arghh went for Leonard instead like a doughnut ..
Cheers dude! Would have liked to hit a spread bet though, eating into profits ain’t the one. Think I’ll drop to small stakes on spreads until I get my groove back.

Pretty awful night from me, apologies if anyone followed. I think I need to rethink my strategy and stick to alternative totals treble and my most confident pick which was Spurs last night. I broke my own no away team rules except spurs and GSW with Cavs and Hornets last night and severely paid for it. Aww well…another day, another dollar.
Unlucky Mervin, but you had some good days with the alternative totals tbh … Nets/Raptors should never have been so low, Nets are usually good at covering spreads and keeping games close, they were simply asleep. Cavs -7 only lost by 1 point…
Yesterday both your singles, double and trebble came in. Lose some / win some but don’t worry about one losing night. It just happens.
Thanks Oriaz. Here’s hoping I get back on the winning train tonight again!
Celtics give up plenty of points and should stay close , meaning more court time…
CSKA – Real Madrid – Over 167.5 @ 4/5

Darussafaka – Cedevita – Darussafaka (-4.5) @ 3/4
Barcelona – Khimky – Barcelona(-5.5) @ 19/25
@radu Good to see you back on this thread :)
I like the look of the Overs in the CSKA game, although they have increased a little now. Pains me to say it, but I think CSKA will win this. Madrid will be without Fernandez and Llull and I’m tempted by the 1st half Spread of -3.5.
Olympiakos are solid in defence and I think that will be enough to see them win.
Turkish teams are solid at home and I’d also fancy them to cover the spread.
My only concern would be Barcelona covering the spread against an impressive looking Khmiki team who recently defeated tournament favourites CSKA. Can I ask why you’ve opted for Barcelona -5.5?
Just posted in the footy forum by mistake and this is more appropriate here… Tired and battle weary lol
Anyone with any early thoughts for daytime interest in anything really? Football, darts, snooker, eurohoops.
Just finished a night shift so it’s a beer for me then off to bed in about an hour lol. Thinking it’d be nice to wake up to something after a dismal day yesterday with a consistent streak of losses haha…
Like Mark Selby to win in the snooker at 1/2 but at those odds want to combine it with something.

@bullseye wasn’t on the BDO tips last night but was on all your PDC tips in the Worlds and the other comps earlier in December, and you have won me some good money along with Tungsten and Lockup so thanks. Really like the write ups too, you clearly know your stuff, just wondered what your background was and where your knowledge comes from, is it just from pure research and watching of the game or have you played a bit too? just impressed by the amount of info you have at your hands. I love the darts and watch most tournaments on TV but my knowledge is nowhere near yours. You can tell me to sod off and mind my own business if you like I won’t take offence. Cheers again for the tips, keep them coming,

BDO Darts:
Mitchell/Waites Double EVS
Richard Veenstra most 180’s v Martin Atkins 11/10
Morning all,i’ve had a look at all 3 men’s games on today and I actually fancy all 3 favourites to win.Veenstra 4/6,Mitchell 4/9 and Waites 2/5 .Both Mitchell and Waites impressed with over a 30 average in their first round games with Waites hitting high outshots of 138,141 and 142 in his 9 winning legs.Mitchell,the defending champions has the tougher game coming up against fellow England international Mark Mcgeeney but I see “Scotty Dog” having too much consistent scoring power for Mcgeeney so in a double with Waites pays just over EVS.
The other bet I like for value is Dutchman Richard Veenstra to hit more 180’s than Martin Atkins at 11/10.He hit 4 in his first round 3-2 win against friend and fellow countryman Jeffrey De Graaf in comparison to Atkins who had 0.I fancy Veenstra to come out on top in this clash 4/6 but better value in the 180’s market.
Good luck

Rosol to win @11-8 against Benoit paire the h2h is 1-1 with Rosol winning their most recent in 2014 @ Wimbledon, on clay I’d go for paire but on the hard court today I’m going with Rosol for the win at a good price.
Jm180. I have waites on for the world crown. How will he fare v. Durrant ? Bit concerned
Mr.Boofle, if Waites gets past De Vos today which I think he will then it sets up a mouth watering clash v Durrant which is good enough to be the final.I believe whoever wins that match will go all the way and become champion on Sunday.Both are some great darts and if they do meet then I can see it going the full distance
@jm180, I don’t really but Mr. Fixit is sayin it might be IP related. Then again, you just posted the comment above without issue. I’m having the same problem with some comments.
What’s your tip @jim180 I’ve been waiting for it! ;-)
The moderation issue seems to be an ongoing one for some people, nobody seems to know why it happens. Just try posting your tip again maybe
My darts bets for today are:
Veenstra most 180’s v Atkins 11/10
Mitchell/Waites Double EVS
I did give a big write-up on the reasoning for the above but I won’t go through that again just incase it fails to post.I like the look of Veenstra 4/6,Mitchell 4/9 and Waites 2/5 all to win today and also had a glance at the women’s games and considered Lisa Ashton 2-0 and De Graaf 2-0 but i’ll stick with the main 2 above.
Nice one Jim180……I’m on them again with you. Impressed with your darts picks, I’ve no idea myself but love watching the darts and as they say, it’s always better when you’ve got some money on it! Cheers
No problem mate,it’s a shame my earlier post isn’t up because I gave a long detailed research into why I went for those picks which took about an hour to look at and write up but u’ll just have to take my word for it.
I’m on both of these too. Really like the double, staked a bit more on that.
Good luck
On the veeenstra 180 mate . Doubled up with radu over 165 in the cska/Real Madrid game…21/10

Well done mate! I had a shocker with the Hornets letting a few of us down by the looks of it!
Think I’m just going to stick to a challenge bet a night and try to build up a pot for a while I can’t find any consistency on NBA
I didn’t watch the game but Hornets looked like they trailed the 1st half and got back into it at the end of the 3rd before collapsing in the 4th. Poor show against the Suns knowing the Hornets lost to the same spread against the Warriors (with Curry/Thompson scoring 30 pts each in that game) …
Well done mate.
Hornets screwed me over too!
@Hunter – glad to see you’ve doing well , nice picks you put into the site, keep it up ;)
—————————————————————————————-
Any series is made to be stopped. Barca were already four successive defeats in the Euroleague and it’s hard for me to believe that it will follow and 5th. In addition, always after a win over a super strength squad, which happened Khimky, a slight relaxation can intervene and treat next game more relaxed. It will not be an easy match, but I think Barca will finally managed to win. Additionally, if Paul Davis do not play , it is possible that the Russians have some problems under the hoop. I do not consider Arroyo’s absence a bad thing, he contributed also at this defeats with his frenetic passes and his fantsy in game.Everyone consider this in his way but my feeling is for Barca this time.
GL ;)
Thanks for the reply and thanks for your detailed analysis. The reason I asked was because I really like the +8.5 @ 8/11 on Khmiki but I really wasn’t sure in the end. I agree, I think Barca will want this more. Also, Khmiki aren’t the best away team which showed when they lost to Zvezda. On the other hand Barca are a tough team to beat on their own court and will have a large crowd behind them.
Think I’ve talked myself out of this one and may opt for overs as an alternative. Thanks for the feedback and good luck ?

BDO Championship Darts afternoon session
Ann-Louise Peters vs Zoe Jones, Anne-Louise Peters win 11/8 **NAP** Bet365
Ann-Louise Peters eliminated number two seed Fallon Sherrock 2-1 in what was a big shock, She absorbed three 180’s and five 140’s from Sherrock but hit six 140’s of her own and took her doubles out when presented with them. Zoe Jones hit three 140’s and one 180 against Tina Osbourne in her 2-1 victory. However her doubling was very poor. She missed six darts at tops to let Osborne back in as well as darts at double 18, double 4, double 16 and double 9. The main reason Ann-Louise Peters beat Sherrock was that she was able to stay within range to take her doubles out after her opponent had missed hers. I can see a similar scenario playing out today where Jones’ double sucess could prove costly as Peters will be waiting in the wings to pounce.
Good luck all

EuroHoops Singles
Another mixed day yesterday with hot favourites Gran Canaria losing to a poor Strasbourg side to down the fourfold. Longshot faired worse but did manage a 13/8 in one of the lines.
Another tough Euroleague card today.
I like the look of the Overs in the CSKA game, although they have increased since this morning. It Pains me to say it, but I think CSKA will win this. There is the Orthodox Christmas today and there will be a very special atmosphere in Russia. That should guarantee a great show in Moscow and people will come to see their favorite team against the reigning European Champion Real Madrid. Madrid are not in good shape at the moment and I dont think I’ve ever backed against them so much as I have this season. They have lost matches against much worse teams than CSKA and they will also be without Fernandez and Llull who are injured. I think they’ll look to start well and cover the 1st half -3.5 spread.
In Latvia, Ventspils entertain bottom of the table Letvijas…This will be a straight forward thumping for them but the -32.5 is about right. What’s more appealing is the 1st half Ventspils points. Ventspils are off the back of an impressive Eurocup win against Antwerp Giants. I believe they’ll look to get the job done by HT and their total 1st half points set at 46.5 looks appealing. They’ve covered this total in their last 5 H2H and I expect them to repeat this today.
Back with the Euroleague and there’s another interesting game where Greek giants Olympiakos travel to Spain to face Laboral Kutxa. Both teams are in good form. Kutxa come off the back of a win against Madrid and Olympiakos showed their tournament credentials with a comfortable win against Barca. This should be an interesting game but if Olympiakos can implement their notoriously good defence as they did against Barca, then I think they’ll win this.
Sticking with the Euroleague, I initially thought Khmiki would lose this match but at smaller margins than the given +8.5 spread, but on second thought I think Barca will want this more and in front of a packed home court they could just as easily dominate this match. What does look appealing is the overs….there’s not much to be said apart from both sides are very offensive and overs looks like the safer option here.
CSKA (1st Half -3.5) @ 8/11
Ventspils (Over 46.5 first half points) @ 17/20
Olympiacos (+1.5) @ 20/23 Coral
Barcelona / Khmiki (Over 160.5) @ 10/11 William Hill
All 2pt stakes…..
Good luck!
@hunter, don’t have all the same markets available, can you point me out if you’d take the following:
– CSKA 1st half -4.5 ?
– Ventspils over 94.5 total team points or over 78.5 1st half total match points ?
Cheers.
The problem with the Venspils total is that, if they have a big lead after the first half then they’ll ease off in the second. That’s a coin toss for me mate. Can’t trust their opponents to score many…at the least they’ll prob have 25 so I wouldn’t touch the 1st half totals.
CSKA usually start well whereas Madrid have started games slow of late….this should still have a good chance at -4.5 but you know how fine a line these games can be.
My gut says to leave them mate or just go with CSKA -4.5 at a push, provided the odds are 10/11 or better!?!
You got a fourfold for today’s ball Hunter?
I have half a point on the above singles as a fourfold but didn’t put it up as the euroleague throws up too many banana skins. Hardly any national games so just gonna leave putting anything up.
No worries, I’ll do the same then
@hunter, thx for the reply, will just leave those two alone and take the other two.
Hi Hunter mate,
I’m looking for a bet around evens to stick on, would you recommend a single of one of your choices or mix and max them to make a safer bet equal to evens? Thanks!
Wiliki / Polpharma (Over 152.5)
Olympiakos (+6) or (under 160)
Could be a decent double but the Euroleague can throw up some weird results.
Cheers mate sorry to sound like an idiot haha but which league or cup is the Wiliki game
Not at all mate…..Polish PLK.
Hi @hunter mate? I’ve picked these two:
Barcelona v Khimki Over 160.5 at 1.85
&
Olympiakos Under 158.5 at 1.45 double pays 2.68 here in Kenya. Hope it goes through.
Looks good @victor Wishing you luck!
Omg what a game of Darts that was.How did Mitchell win that?? One of the best games i’ve seen at the lakeside.Got to feel sorry for Mcgeeney 8 missed match darts but my double is still alive
Was watching for interest but that match was full of drama :D That McGeeney guy can only blame himself as he had every chance to win it.
I followed on Bet365, and even that was exciting hahaha
1st thoughts for tonights NBA:
– Bulls over 104.5 team points: The spread is at -5.5 and I’d be happy to take that but I think Celtics might turn up tonight and keep things close. Both team are allowing +/- 100 points per game to their opponents so I think there’s a good chance.
– Hawks -4.5, Kings -4.5 (double): Both teams should win confortable against the Sixers and Lakers, but I’d prefer doubling them up with a lower spread.
I’m already on Huggy’s prop bet (Butler over 22.5 points).
On the Ken Dodds again huggy -14.5.
Well, I had an absolute horror show last night. No longer will I be placing an outright or spread until I’ve seen team line ups. Thompson had plenty of points but his boards were robbed by Love and James, treble was burned by Miami losing to the Knicks who were on a b2b, Westbrook was going well but OKC were so far ahead he didn’t play much of the 4th, Redick hit his points total but not his threes (typical), Dallas won outright with all their starters out. Pathetic. Almost as predictable as football at the moment. Tempted on Bulls -5.5 with the Celtics on a b2b, that or Jimmy PR&A again as he’s on a bit of a hot streak, but knowing my luck I’l pick him and he’ll have a sh*tter.
@huggybear518, Jimmys PR&A are 31.5 @ Paddys so have they gone down or have you just made an error?
mate possible , posted early and its awkward whilst driving… still 31.5 better
post a spread and total for interest…
Rondo and Casspi questionable again so DeMarcus Cousins should have another monster but no markets yet.
For now I’ll stick 2.4 points on Butlers PR&A. C’mon Mr Buckets.
Cousins is capped at over 29.5 on unibet 17/20 ?
Unibet capped jimmy B at over 22.5 too so I’m on board …
Anyone like the look of Paul millsap prop at over 19.5 against philly..?
He had a nightmare shooting the other night and still hit 19 so might be worth a go mate.
Cheers Jordan might double it up with over 4 jimmy butler rebounds…
11/5…still trying to finalize my final bet tonight..
Doddies win again got your 1st half handicap as well on cska thanks hunter.
gotta love those doddies , made us a few quid lol
Kam ‘Bam Bam’ Chancellor now also probable for Seattle. You can get Seattle -4 @ 4/5 @ 365
@jordan, any specific reason why -5 would be a lot riskier than -4? I’m very tempted to add a smaller stake on -5 at evens with you getting all excited about the game :D
Oriaz, just like any sport, every point/goal matters. More so in NFL because there are a few ways to score with different outcomes. Touchdown = 6 points, Extra Point = 1 point, Field Goal = 3 points and a Safety = 2 points. Making sure you get the lowest spread possible is obviously a lesser risk.

dont mean a lot but….
With the injury to Avery Bradley, the Celtics will have no answer for Jimmy Butler and the Bulls tonight. Chicago is finally starting to play up to their potential, and coach Fred Hoiberg’s system and rotations are finally starting to come around
huggys spread bulls -5 ,also bulls lost to celtics last game so revenge on the cards , also bostons last defeats knicks / lakers
this is a match up that`ll show us nba form …
hawks philly under 207
houston -7
2.5 singles…
did have a bit on cska total so dont mind going for it tonight….
Bulls at -6 now so will see what I can get in play. The HT spread might be worth a gamble. Bulls -3 @ 19/20 @ Coral
No alternative totals treble for me tonight, don’t really like the look of anything for overs/unders. Instead i’m going for one main bet which will be:
MAIN BET – Chicago Bull -5 3pts
Gonna have a blast at some NCAAB tonight since i’m only having the one NBA bet.
Michigan +8 – 1pt
Cincinnati +7 – 1pt
Alternative total treble (I couldn’t resist)
Weber v North Dakota o132
Niagara v St Peters o118.5
Arkansas v Lafayette 0133.5

tempted to take the bulls spread but feel it’s slightly too high, think it will be a pretty close game, slightly ‘safer’ double
Bulls ML
Hawks -4-5

EuroHoops Singles
Another mixed day yesterday with hot favourites Gran Canaria losing to a poor Strasbourg side to down the fourfold. Longshot faired worse but did manage a 13/8 in one of the lines.
Another tough Euroleague card today.
I like the look of the Overs in the CSKA game, although they have increased since this morning. It Pains me to say it, but I think CSKA will win this. There is the Orthodox Christmas today and there will be a very special atmosphere in Russia. That should guarantee a great show in Moscow and people will come to see their favorite team against the reigning European Champion Real Madrid. Madrid are not in good shape at the moment and I dont think I’ve ever backed against them so much as I have this season. They have lost matches against much worse teams than CSKA and they will also be without Fernandez and Llull who are injured. I think they’ll look to start well and cover the 1st half -3.5 spread.
In Latvia, Ventspils entertain bottom of the table Letvijas…This will be a straight forward thumping for them but the -32.5 is about right. What’s more appealing is the 1st half Ventspils points. Ventspils are off the back of an impressive Eurocup win against Antwerp Giants. I believe they’ll look to get the job done by HT and their total 1st half points set at 46.5 looks appealing. They’ve covered this total in their last 5 H2H and I expect them to repeat this today.
Back with the Euroleague and there’s another interesting game where Greek giants Olympiakos travel to Spain to face Laboral Kutxa. Both teams are in good form. Kutxa come off the back of a win against Madrid and Olympiakos showed their tournament credentials with a comfortable win against Barca. This should be an interesting game but if Olympiakos can implement their notoriously good defence as they did against Barca, then I think they’ll win this.
Sticking with the Euroleague, I initially thought Khmiki would lose this match but at smaller margins than the given +8.5 spread, but on second thought I think Barca will want this more and in front of a packed home court they could just as easily dominate this match. What does look appealing is the overs….there’s not much to be said apart from both sides are very offensive and overs looks like the safer option here.
CSKA (1st Half -3.5) @ 8/11 ***WON***
Ventspils (Over 46.5 first half points) @ 17/20 ***WON***
Olympiacos (+1.5) @ 20/23 Coral ***WON***
Barcelona / Khmiki (Over 160.5) @ 10/11 William Hill **LOST**
All 2pt stakes…..
Good luck!
—————–
3 from 4 again but more than happy with that! Ventspils easily covered the 1st half total even though they went almost 4 mins without a basket.
CSKA were predictably too much for Madrid who were routed in the end.
Olympiacos defence weren’t as strong as I predicted but won comfortably.
I expected the Barcelona game to be a lot tighter than it was and they just defended the game out in the second half which didn’t help the overs.
Well done to those who followed!
big up mate!
Good stuff Hunter.
Cheers guys, and sorry Oriaz.
Don’t be sorry, only a small loss with 1 win, 1 loser. You made me enough to cover that don’t worry :D

Wish unibet had that special mate would have lumped on too..?
Lol hope butler knows how much extra pressure he is under tonight
Hahaha …I’m still debating weather to do butler over 22.5 or millsap over 19.5..lol or do both…lol…
100% more confident in butler, fingers crossed lol
3 days losses for me ?
Anything hot to look out for tonight apart from butler which I’m already on (hope I’m not the bad omen on it)
Jimmy butler over 4 rebounds is achieved too don’t you think lads? 3/4 on unibet…
And over 5 butler assists at 17/20
Picks for tonight:
Gonna have 2 doubles at evs (will count them as singles in stats) as Bulls spread is now up to -6 (-6.5 at some places) and team total is at 105.5.
– Bulls -1.5 & Kings/Lakers overs 204.5
– Hawks -4.5, Kings -4.5 (double)
Liking the Hawks and kings double mate..gonna jump on that..?
I’m taking the Kings and Bulls both -5.5 at 2/1 hoping for a much better night than last night!
Good luck everyone!

***LOSER*** ?
Please not again :(
Is Butler taking the p**s ?
Think Bookies told him to lay off tonight because ALL of us are on his point total today …???
Am I reading the livescores correctly ..butler gets no points in the first quarter? ?….Just tuned in to watch it now..my goodness…
looks like he doesnt react to pressure too well…
all this talk of him being an elite top 10 nba player and media interviews etc…
Relax gents. First quarter and they’re down. Remember he scored 40 second half points the other day.
Ok cool mate..it ain’t over til the fat lady sings ?..
dont worry guys! he scored a couple of points in the first half the other day…then scored 41 in the 2nd lol
Strange when Jimmy was looking for the foul and jumped into a Boston player that he passed instead of shooting for the free throws
Can anyone get any Rondo bets on PP? They were up, went to place a bet and they’re all removed. They have Casspi totals who isn’t even playing.
Oh they’re back. Not sure whether to take Rondo Over 31.5 PR&A @ PP. Injury could hinder him slightly?
Inplay props please
Gotta start playing this half
1 from 7 gotta laugh
Cheers Jimmy.
