Boxing
Rances Barthelemy vs Antonio DeMarco
Boxing on a Sunday night?
* Rances Barthelemy by Decision/ Technical Decision @ 5/6 (Half Stakes) **WON**
Just a half stakes bet on this for me, barthelemy has moved up in weight for this one ( hence half stakes) the fight is scheduled for 10 rounds , Barthelemys more aggressive than most Cuban fighters wich im slightly wary of but DeMarco is no mug and I’m expecting a majority points decision to go barthelemys way
NBA bet
A looooonnnnggg way to go I know but I thought it would be worth a mention now as this price will shorten I can guarantee you that
* New Orleans Pelicans to win NBA championship 2016 @ 40/1 EW 1/2
A young team who I expect to make some good trades this offseason and a team who already has the future best player in the world
An outsider bet of course but worth a mention that the Warriors were 25/1 at the start of last season and the Atlanta Hawks who got to the conference finals I know were at least 100/1
I think the Cavs will at least get to the final and probably go on to win it but not touching them yet until I know what players are staying or going
Haider-Maurer, Watson @ 5/2
Off to bed after watching crazy finish at US Open. Dustin Johnson three-putts 18th from about 15 feet to hand Jordan Spieth a one-shot win despite a double bogey at 17. Course and greens were slammed by players but incredible drama. Can’t wait to se Spieth, McIlroy and co at St Andrews next month.
Amazing went to bed early AT MIDNIGHT with my man lOUIS out to 180/1 after going 3 over after 4 holes only to wake to see he lost by one shot finishing second, to bring home a 6/1 winner narrowly missing 30/1 bumper payday.
Again he shot the best round of the leaders by some way as expected but just 1 shot shy of a playoff.
3 over for the round after 4 holes that is
2 over for the tournament

A crazy day yesterday but managed to stay even thanks to the Blue Jays.
James ward to win what ? What sport is it
Tennis. He played really well the first set against Raonic. Some great tennis. I hope he can keep up that form. Giraldo bet won so now only Ward to go!
Tennis. His qualifier for Wimbledon.
Like Ward for what he managed in the Davis cup but bar that?
Heard he got lobbed at table tennis :D
@tennis peeps, groth to beat the lowly ranked russian @evens?
Mulac,
The lowley ranked player (356) you refer to is Mischa Zverev.
He’s German and his ranking doesn’t represent the danger he takes onto the court, nor his past (has been as high as 45).
Only a couple of weeks ago he beat Seppi in an ATP tournament (grass) when Groth was playing on the ‘Challanger circuit’.
The week after, Seppi reached the final of the ATP Halle event.
Groth may well win but it’s no gimme but liable to be a serving war with a decent chance of a tiebreak.
@james cheers, will be thinking about the cash out then.
Mulac,
Your call.
Evens are still decent odds for Groth but all I was saying that the bookies have priced it that way for a reason.
form > rankings unless your taking a player in the top 20 against a player whos lower than 40 that’s my rule
Groth v Zverev
First set tiebreak, no surprise.
james ward p1ssed the 1st set and threw it away in second
Bad luck guys, Ward is back in the second set and it’s raining now. But it’s looking good!
