LEWIS HAMILTON is geared up for victory on his home track today after clinching pole for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The Mercedes driver is 5-11 favourite at bwin for the win with team-mate Nico Rosberg – who starts second – next fancied at 9-4 with bet365.
Australia's Rohan Dennis took the opening honours at cycling showpiece the Tour de France yesterday and today it's the 166km coastal route from Utrecht to Zelande.
Manx Missile Mark Cavendish tops the betting at 5-4 with Paddy Power while fellow sprinter Alexander Kristoff is 5-1 at Betfred.
My overs treble landed yesterday as week one of Wimbledon ended with Andy Murray reaching round four and 2014 women's champion Petra Kvitova suffering a shock defeat.
There's no action from the Championships today but plenty of other sport including Super League, cricket and snooker if you fancy a flutter, so let's hear your tips and thoughts.

Small stakes gives me plenty left to play with. If nothing else takes my fancy I may add more cash to the treble, or take the 5 as a permed bet….
The useless Dodgers and their bullpen cost me a full house by a run, 4 out of 4 day, as my under 6 runs pick was cruising in, as planned with a great pitching duel… Oh well, I’ll settle for 3/4 any day, it’s just annoying when you get so close!!
I’ll see if any there are any qualifying picks today and report back if there are.
Cycling: Tour de France 2015 stage 2
Yesterday’s bet was a loser, today I will have a bet on below.
Match-ups, winner in capitals:
HAGEN v Navardauskas
DEGENKOLB v Demare
Double @ 2.39 with WH
going for rosberg 9/4
Formula 1
Today Ferrari is on position 5 and 6 to start. That makes it interesting: the odds for nr. 3 (Massa) and 4 (Bottas) to win the race are higher then normal, all around 40 (Coral). Same for Raikonen and Vettel.
Just a thought, in case you don’t want to bet on Hamilton & Co.

Super league rugby
Bit of a strange one this week as many of the teams played in midweek so how they have coped with that could be crucial. Am doing a double today starting with Wakefield against hull. These 2 sides met on wed with Wakefield getting the win, today they are getting 20 start which for me is too much for an improving side. Next week have Salford v catalans I mentioned Tuesday that Salford had issues and they have worsened with reports their coach won’t be present today, catalans are very strong at home but struggle away but with the issues at Salford am hoping for a rare away win
Tip Wakefield +20
Catalans +2 double pays around 3.7/1
Also trying an 8/1 Anytime scorer acca on escare, talonoa, wardle and carney and an audicous first scorer trixie which pays £1,400 on wardle carney and escare
Afternoon Guys Sunday Super League
Hull face Wakefield again today having lost to them in midweek, they have a poor record against the Wildcats having lost 4 of the last 5 and drawing one. I think they will win today but no value against a side they have a poor record against.
Instead I am taking winger Tom Lineham to score, he has been out for a month since it was announced he was leaving yet is still second in the try scoring charts. Is last game in the black n white was a hatrick against Widnes. He is 8/13 Skybet. I am however doubling him up with Denny Solomona at 8/13 Skybet.
Last night I said I fancied Castleford but not sure if they cover the handicap. The Jungle is a tough place to go so I think the tigers will win. Solomona has owned the Wildcats this season 6 of his 10 tries have come against the Wildcats in the previous two meetings. The double pays 8/5 Skybet.
Elsewhere I expected a fierce contest between Huddersfield and Hull KR. The Robins have Sio, Mantello and Kelly into double figures this season and I will take them to go over O3.5 tries at 6/4 Skybet.
Salford v Catalan is the last game and whilst Salford are a team in crisis, Catalan cant win on the road so calling it is tough. I do think their will be plenty of tries as both are poor defensively. They already drew 40-40 earlier in the season and last they both won games against each other 34-22 and 37-24.
I am going for a try scorer at good odds in a game that should see plenty of tries and the player I like is Benjamin Garcia. He as only played 13 games this season but has 7 tries and he has been a revelation since being moved to Centre. He scored twice against Saints when he made is first start at centre and has since recorded a hat trick against Castleford. With both wingers odds on I will take the 21/10 at Paddy Power.
LINEHAM & SOLOMONA TO SCORE 8/5
HULL KR O3.5 TRIES 6/4
GARCIA TO SCORE 21/10
Good luck if your having a bet

Very confident about this bet. Birmingham won the competition last year and thanks to their form and signing of brendan mccullum have gone clear favourites again this year at 7/2. Mccullum smashed 158* off 64 balls tonight, what a player.

Quick question guys does anyone not see the Gasquet v Kyrgios game going over 3.5 sets?
InterYerNan, should go 4 or 5 and possibly in favour of Kyrgios.
Yes, but with Kyrgios’ serving it is far better to just take him to win at 4/5 with William Hill.
Could well be Kyrgios in 3, and worst case 4.
