SERENA WILLIAMS was crowned queen of France on Saturday and now Novak Djokovic stands on the brink of an historic coronation in the men's final after he ended Andy Murray's hopes.
Victory will see the Serb complete a career Grand Slam and the man with the unenviable task of trying to stop him is Stan Wawrinka, who trails 17-3 in the head-to-head and is the 11-2 outsider at 888sport and bet365.
However, the Swiss has won at least a set in four of their five Grand Slam meetings – he retired injured in the other – and looks decent value at 4-5 with William Hill, Skybet and Ladbrokes to win a set today.
Djokovic is just 1-6 at Paddy Power and Betfred to take the title while for a 3-1 victory he's 13-5 at Sportingbet and 3-2 to the world No.1 pays 8-1 at Boylesports.
In the Canadian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton starts from pole and is 1-3 at William Hill for victory with Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg generally available at 4-1 and Kimi Raikkonen 10s.
Elsewhere on Sunday there's NBA finals game two, the finale of the Dutch Masters darts and county cricket among the sporting highlights so post your tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.
Afl St Kilda +57.5 (1.93) bet365
UFC double. Couple points for interest. Nothing serious.
Poirier
Mitrione
11/10 **LOSE** Poirier big K.O but Mitrione got choked out.
In other news. Kyrie Irving out with a fractured kneecap. Cavaliers now 5/1 to win the championship.
Anyone on the Warriors start predicting what you’re going to do with your winnings :)
Advised anybody to get on the Warriors -6 instantly after game 1 and the spread is now -8. I will not be placing another bet on this series. My money is more or less won. Well done to anybody who followed when I posted a couple days on the trot back in February about taking the Warriors @ 9/2. Boom time!
Hya Jordan hope I’m not being presumptive but thanks for another great tip keep it up mate.

I would celebrate but don’t want any trouble from jimbob. Well done mate I’m going to sit back relax and enjoy
Boxing
Miguel Cotto v Daniel Geale
Miguel Cotto to win by KO/TKO @ 11/10 **WON**
Under Freddie Roach Cotto looks back to his old self and has also stoped both opponents , Geale is a tough fighter and I wouldn’t expect a stoppage to the later stages but you rarely see a Cotto stoppage at this price and I’m gonna take a chance on it
Mlac just seen your post from yesterday I hope you jumped on it mate some crazy sh*t that is I agree, looks like he’s gonna fight Canelo next that will be one to watch
Canadian Grand Prix F1
Under 16.5 classified finishers is 11/10 at sky bet and only 8/11 at bet 365
Last year only 11 cars finished the race in what is a difficult track for endurance. The first corner is also notorious for first lap collisions and the safety car appearing is only 4/9
20 cars start the race which means only 4 cars need to have some kind of incident
UNDER 16.5 FINISHERS 11/10 @ sky bet
lebrons points set at 34.5 a tad high if I say so
Will still probably go for it though will have a think abou it
Looks like a decent bet Mr. Orange. But there is a short hill (1,2km at 8,7%), maybe too hard for Sacha! But the race has already started, i’m too late to look for a bet!
European Basketball Single
Malaga @ Barcelona (11:40am)
Barcelona Regal were on fire in the first game of the semi final series winning by 31 points. I don’t expect Barcelona to win so convincingly this time round but I do expect the to try and kill the game off early and give some of their key players a rest before facing Madrid in the finals. Malaga have had a fantastic season, but have dropped in form recently and will need to be at their defensive best if their are to halt this free scoring Barca team. My slight concern about Barca is that they’ve been shooting a lot more 3 pointers than they usually do and although this worked to their advantage in the previous game with a 50% success rate, I’m not sure if they can repeat such an impressive strike rate.
1st Half Points Spread: Barcelona -6 @ 10/11 Skybet
Good luck!
WTF, the European champs 11 points off the pace against Valencia!?!
Hunter what your thoughts on that big game in Greece mate +8 seems generous to me at first glance
Tickety, Ellis. The only person that can stop us is LeBron James but I don’t think it’ll be enough against the Warriors.
Picksix, not usually much between these two but Olympiakos are undefeated in last 10 at home and H2H in their favour! I did look at this myself and thought the spread was a little high but on reflection it’s prob about right. Would have been on it like a flash if Olympiakos were on the road. Small bet if anything from myself.

1st Half Points Spread: Barcelona -6 @ 10/11 Skybet **WINNER**
Good luck!
Main bet breezes in with Barca leading at half time by 50-37. Think their 3 point percentage is sitting even higher than their previous game.
My team Madrid who were 19 points down during the first half are now leading in the 4th :)
Australia women destroying Venezuela!
Australia -61.5 inplay @ 10/11
Probably low stakes from me aswell then mate u know anywhere that has outright betting on the European leagues? I can’t seem to find any
Well done and cheers on the barca tip aswell mate I missed a few of your last ones but caught it at the right time there
Jordan,
Will be killer for you but remember still got my cavs covered so won’t be bothered ha
Ellis my stake is covered mate and even if they lose I also did the EW bet so will win that as they’re in the final.
Picksix, is it the European leauge you’re looking for or just european leauges in general. Either way, most bookies don’t have the market yet but some of the more obscure bookies do. Check out tonybet, this should give you a general idea of odds.

MLB (late 3am games)
Treble @ 10.9/1 LOST
St Louis Cardinals lose 2-0
Tampa Bay Rays lose 2-1
Arizona Diamondbacks win 2-1
Cardinals & Rays both playing well at the min but there odds are both 13/8 due to starting pitchers of their opposition both away to tonight. Arizona are home playing Mets who are usually poor away.
Doing my treble with a twist too(long shot)
Treble @ 22.77/1 LOST
Arizona & Over 6.5 Runs yes/no
St Louis & Under 7.5 Runs no/yes
Tampa Bay & Under 8.5 Runs no/yes
The price on the Cotto stoppage was crazy! I suppose because Gaele is naturally bigger but he was totally drained at that catch weight. Easy money.

This for me was the best bet of the day well done capone
Not really a tennis fan but got a bet on inplay for there to be a tie break in this match @ 6/4 sounds a good price to me
Wawrinka at 11/8 seems good value. Djokovic looks tired
NBA bet
Been doing some price shopping and this is the best I could find on the lebron points
* Lebron james over 31.5 points @ 4/5
The Warriors tactics in the first game were to let lebron play wich worked, one man is not gonna score over 100+ points wich is the total you’re gonna need to beat the Warriors, with kyrie being out also im expecting him to be around the 40 point mark again
F1
Vettel fastest lap 8/1
Massa fastest lap 66/1
Massa first driver retirement 25/1
Massa not to finish race 5/1
Nasr points finish 5/1
Stan @ 20/1 to win Wimbledon. Keep an eye on that. Could be cut in half quickly if he wins here
You can bet your bottom dollar J.R Smith will bring up the bet that I was on the other night without Kyrie Irving in the line up.
Picksix 365 have LeBron Over 50.5 Points/Rebounds & Assists @ 5/6. Better price and still reachable as he’ll have 5 assists and rebounds without fail.
bookies win I lose
Stan is truely the man, backhand king
That was a great game. I was lucky to win some more in play on Wawrinka. Stan the man!
Stan why do you always cost me money whether I back you or against you. Walking curse
Never underestimate the power of Stan’s shorts!

Double @ 2.22 with uni-bet / 888
I did not post this bet as I was not to sure of it but had a bet on the conneticut sun + 12 and they actually ended winning the game ( 6/1 on the ML)
They were playing the Atlanta Dream who are actually a decent team (reached the playoffs last year), they have a new head coach who is Isiah Thomas who im not sure if many will know but he is a former player and former coach of the knicks , he is the reason why the NY knicks are what they are today ( SH*T) the knicks were are actually a decent team a few years ago, he has failed at every coaching job he has had at college and pro level and has been hired as the ATL Dreams head coach (no idea how) and they have lost there opening games.
He is also currently going through a lawsuit of sexual harassment charges wich is quite crazy considering he is a head coach of a women’s basketball team wich has lead to protests outside the stadiums
Basically until this man gets fired look out for the ATLANTA DREAM and bet against them
This sh*t could be a goldmine
Lol no worries Hunter mate I don’t bet too big on our side of the pond anyway , the NBA and Boxing is where my money goes, usually only half stakes maybe less on the euro game and everything else
Is that a Redskins fan I see?
I’m combining tennis and NBA bets.
DOUBLE @2.16
LeBron over 32,5 points
Haase R. to win (tennis)
DOUBLE @2.21
Thompson over 10,5 rebounds
Muller G. to win (tennis)
Good luck!
Hope some got on Van Gerwen for the darts, close shave in the semis but won the final 6-0, was a great price in a field lacking a lot of the world’s best players
Juan, saw the tip and I’m sure some will have got on. Just been watching the end of the golf – Rose v Lingmerth in a play-off. Matsuyama couldn’t seal the deal but got us a place with joint fifth.
Juan well done mate I didn’t get on but you were confident enough last night.
LeBron just needs 4 more rebounds and 4 more assists for triple double
I did Cleveland -1.5 on HT spread thought it was beat & about to doze off then I heard her saying they had changed Klays 3 point to a 2 pointer!! Can’t believe my luck!!
I know it’s only half time and my lebron bet looks like it’s gonna land, but I’m pis*ed off with myself I did not take the cavs +8 I hate when I mention stuff and don’t bet it .
Hope the Warriors win by 8 for the guys though
Curry up your game son
I’ve not seen curry this cold for a loooong time
Picksix I’m not on anything mate but I wish I took that LeBron bet and the triple double.
That triple double was a shout buddy im gutted I didn’t bet it aswell
Lebron Needs to get his a*s back on the court tho
He’s back now that wasn’t long lol
He needs 3 assists and I’ll extremely surprised if he doesn’t get those unless he starts going one man attack.
looks like my triple double tip is gonna be the only decent bet to land.
curry mvp , disgrace , not fit to stand on same court as lebron
NBA SPECIAL
LeBron Vs Curry
LeBron -4.5 @ 17/20 Betway (large stake)
top man hunter – recouped main bet losses , curry 3 from 13 and 1 from 9 . great figures – bellend
Some shout Huggy. 2 assists to go. I nearly posted telling you they had 3/1 @ Skybet too.
typically my smallest bet and watch him get 1 or none , playing like this i fear the championship bet…
Well he would have brought home the 50.5 total I mentioned. Ballacks.
Triple double now in
12 rebounds for Tristan Thompson now
Triple double in! Great shout huggy mate!
As much as I’d like to punch LeBron he’s a beast of a player.
Curry 3-16. ‘Wow’ would be an understatement.
Well done Huggy
You’re right mate currys no Lebron ,durant or kobe , he’s still probably one of the best shooters I’ve seen though but I think if the thunder got to the playoffs Westbrook would have been MVP for me , bad game for curry tonight
Jordan if he wins this championship then I will probably have to say he’s the best player to walk onto a basketball court
I hope that’s not the case though
Hopefully klay pulls it back
What a game again!
Brilliant 1st 2 games for finals, end to end stuff
Buzzer beater on the cards here
Picksix I thought Westbrook should have got MVP regardless. Hate how players get overlooked because they don’t win anything.
Exactly mate you’re right he put up crazy numbers all season
Btw this is some tense sh*t haha
Gotta love this game
What a lay up!!!
LeBron to win it.
Glad that I stayed up for this. 7 second left!
Oh no overtime. I need some sleep now, haha.
OT two games in a row!!! The roaracle is going crazy!!
Can’t go to sleep now mate haha
Lol that’s a joke the Warriors were 39/10 inplay before that miss I tried to put a bet on it and that stupid twirly thing in the middle of my screen just kept spinning during timeout I couldn’t get it on in time
Aw well not too bothered
Wasn’t that a foul on LeBron?
Controversy all over this one but I hope the Warriors win.
The real MVP is Steph Curry’s mum. Daaaaaang!
Aw sh*t
Cavs win it! Well deserved.
Thoroughly deserved but I’m not happy haha, have to wait longer.
Hate that transvestite who interviews them afterwards too.
gotta admire greatness sometimes well done Lebron
HAHAHA she’s a horse mate can’t stand her either she talks like someone’s got hold of her nose
Hahaha like she’s underwater!!
What you’s think the spread will be for game 3?
What you’s think the spread will be for game 3?
Probably only a point in it I imagine. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Cavs were -1 to -2 favourites.
They are as well. Cavs -1 @ PP. Now 2/1 to win. Hold on while I wipe that egg off my face!
It sort of the same situation with the rockets series I think they ended up 1 point favourites when they returned to Houston
Yeah I just posted on the other thread. Curry 5 for 23, that will not happen again in this series.
Thanks Jordan, I’m sure your glad you took 4’s on Cav’s champions after 1st game now for your cover
