RAFA NADAL looked a pale shadow of his former self as he suffered a big pre-Wimbledon setback with first-round defeat to unseeded Alexandr Dolgopolov at Queen's Club on Tuesday.
There was no such drama for Andy Murray as he sailed through and today it's second-round action with Stan Wawrinka looking to continue the momentum from his stunning French Open success.
The Swiss is 2-5 at Stan James and William Hill to make it past South African beanpole Kevin Anderson, who is 9-4 at Skybet and could prove a tricky opponent after winning the pair's last three meetings.
Richard Gasquet's battle with Milos Raonic could also be well worth watching, with the Canadian slight favourite at 10-13 at Betway and the the French ace 11-10 at bet365.
England's cricketers have ditched the boring, defensive ODI tactics for a refreshing attacking gameplan and head into the fourth Test against New Zealand today looking to level the series up at 2-2.
The hosts are 6-5 at Paddy Power while the Kiwis are generally available at 11-10.
There's also the Snooker World Cup and rugby league's State of Origin among the sporting highlights so post your tips and thoughts here and good luck with your bets.
England to beat nz 6/5 – 2 points
Root or morgan most eng runs 11/8 – 2 points
Williamson or taylor most nz runs 6/4 – 2 points
England playing awesome cricket at the minute and i expect them to get the win tomorow. Number 3 and 4 for both teams seem to be getting the bulk of the runs and thats why i’ve backed them both. Equally confident on all 3 bets.

Golden State Warriors to win the NBA Championship @ 9/2 @ PP **WIN**
Thank you and goodnight :)
Congratulations Jordan on your Golden State Warriors Championship bet
Well done Huggy on your 2 bets on props
Was on that one! Good call Jordan!
Upgraded vacations it will be!
Cheers Dazid. To say that’s my first season I think that’s some achievement to be able to call the Champions 5 months before.
Andre Iguodala was the Finals MVP. 125/1 before the finals started. Yikes!
Yea, I only started with NBA in January, already looking forward to next season when it starts.
Was looking the other day at the Finals MVP odds I think Iguodala was 8/1 then, Lebron evens, Curry unders. Nice to see Green get a Triple Double in the final game move over Lebron lol
Crazy to think Green has only had two seasons in the NBA. He’ll be an all-star someday.

A big thankyou to Jordan for his GSW tip. I have woken up to a nice betting balance. Thank you very much
Well done on the win Jordan. Wasn’t on it myself as I didn’t get into the NBA until nearer the playoffs. Hoping next season is as profitable as the end of this one!
aj,
Personally I believe they were still too big a price 3/1 at the start of the playoffs

Profitable night all round it seems! The only bet to let me down had to be the points spread…been harping on all play-offs how spreads were too difficult to call and then I go and place a bet on one!
Congrats to anyone with winners, and a special congrats to those on Warriors outright.

Turkey Vs Montenegro (2:30pm)
Points Spread: Montenegro -1.5 @ 17/20 Bwin (large stake)
Montenegro have served me well over their last few games and I thought they’d be the dark horse of the competition. They progressed from their group with two wins (both convincing) and one loss to tournament favourites France. Similarly, Turkey progressed from their group with two wins and a defeat, but for me that’s where the similarity ends. I think Turkey were a bit fortunate in a few of their games. Turkey are just lacking in a few departments to progress any further against a confident and talented Montenegro side.
Good luck!
wawrinka vs kevin anderson
over 23.5 @1.94
anderson may trouble wawrinka on grass with his serving, he beat him in last 3 matches and it was always tight between them. wawrinka never won a set higher than 6-4 in 18 attempts agains anderson.
great call jordon, i remember looking at your tip and thinking i should lump on that ( never did tho :( )
on it hunter doubled it with steve johnson for over evens.

Well done on the basketball guys. Try not to bet it all on Romanian handball, yeah?
retry on posting
Draymond green over 13.5 points (16) WINNER !!!
Lebron over 11.5 rebounds (just 18) WINNER !!!
only 2 larger bets than normal.
Thats the way to go out on the NBA , 7/7 basketball bets.
Just like to say congrats to Jordan in his rookie year and others who followed GSW
(convinced me to go against my Spurs) and made a packet.
Think i can say that the whole season saw profit for many of us , i know Jordan made a killing , which is mad as until this year had never placed an NBA bet i don`t think.
Plenty of laughs along the way and some top guys on the thread , ATTILA , PICKSIX , WET VEG (STAR) JIMBOB , HUNTER (new to the thread) many others.
Hope along the way i and others mentioned have won you money , stick around as Jordan is a self confessed NFL PRO TIPSTER (yeah ?)
Thats my arse for the year till i follow J and picksix .
Till next year , cheers guys !!
johnson are fking kidding me? point away from 4-0 in the first, loses 7 games in a row and now about to lose 2-0 to mayer….goddamnit i hate tennis
Women’s Eurobasket
Greece Vs France (7:30pm)
France enter the new group stages of the competition against Greece. This should be a very comfortable win for the favourites.
Interestingly, all 4 of France’s games thus far in the competition have seen the 1st half outscore the 2nd. Greece on the other hand have seen 2 from 4. I don’t think we should read too much into this though as it will be the French who will dictate the tempo of the game and based on their previous 4 games it does favour the 1st half to be the highest scoring.
Highest Scoring Half: 1st Half +0.5 points @ 1/1 Bwin (medium stake)
Good luck!
Huggy, well said bud. Its certainly been a pleasure! Like you say, I’m new to the thread but already seeing good profit, top tipping and top banter. Just wish I’d found this earlier.
Hopefully I can combine some of my euro bball knowledge with the NBA guys on here and we can kill it next season.
Looking forward to seeing how much € the NFL Pro Tipster can win us! ;)
Yeah thanks boy class tipping won loads of money with ur tips so far top notch stuff and in no order at all Jordan huggy attila hunter the chief well done guys brilliant stuff and all the others to many to mention tbh class guys keep it up put ur name first Jordan for 2 reasons 1 won big with ur gsw tip to win and 2 ur bad temper if I didn’t put u first cheers brother look foward to the nfl tip ;)

Sorry guys. Think that’s the last for me and women’s sport….too random and unpredictable to be placing large stakes on!
Course you were, Malcolm
lol malcolm :D
terrible decision making today, initially fancied hatchuvcova / dolpolgov ( spelling :D ) decided to go for steve johnson and a womens b ball, lost after johnson lost something like 9 games in a row. with him getting 2/12 break pts or something stupid
went with hatchucova to make up the losses, panicked and cashed out and lumped on montenegro
of course hatchucova came back from a break down to win 2-0
:( first instincts usually always right guys !
if i dont make this im leaving it for a few days
paok + 9.5
bayern -2.5
evens.
Hahaha David brother I wouldn’t of minded if I didn’t get a mention but thanks mate, no problem.
Huggy, brings a tear to my eye :) thanks bud and well done yourself on the season past. Yes it was my first season of betting on it and seeing your bets early on was partly due to that. Like you say all the lads have been great and its so good to see a community of punters working together on one sport. I will however correct you on the NFL statement, obviously I am no pro tipster but hopefully I can bring my knowledge and new found love in the sport over to next season with the help of the chief, Lee, Picksix, DeAndre (if he ever returns) and make some more cash. First game is the 10th of September so I probably won’t be on here much until then.
Cheers all and have a good summer.
No u defo deserved a mention and a thank you Jordan won a lot of money on ur gsw tip months ago bro brilliant I look foward to September wen the nfl start bro take it easy ;)
All good brother! Have a good one.

Flandroy I was on your overs tip nice one I had the Gasquet match aswell.
Congrats to all the NBA Winners especially Jordan and Huggy what a season. I knew nothing about NBA in December and these guys showed me the ropes along with picsix attila and a few others.
Cant wait for next season and all the banter/winnings that go with it.
Myself i made a packet in week 1 of the playoffs(gold mine) and pretty much left the rest of it alone after some losses as it became a lottery.
All the best guys and see you on here now and then.

Put £8 on Texas win @ 11/8 Yesterday so have dicided to do a rolling bet with it.
Bet 2
San Francisco Giants @ Seattle Mariners
