ANDY MURRAY is unbeaten on clay this year but faces an almighty challenge in trying to stretch that run to 16 matches today.
The Scot goes into French Open semi-final battle against world No.1 and seemingly superhuman Novak Djokovic who has won their last seven meetings including at the previous two Grand Slams.
Djokovic simply looks unstoppable on current form and is 1-5 at the likes of Paddy Power, Coral and Ladbrokes to reach the final while Murray is 4-1 at bet365 and BetVictor.
Murray has lost their lost two Grand Slam meetings 3-1 and a repeat of that scoreline pays 14-5 at Sportingbet while a straight-sets triumph for the Serb is 5-4 at Betfred. Both of those showdowns have featured at least one tie-break and this match to have a tie-break pays 10-11 at Betfair and bet365.
In the day's first semi-final home hero Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is 11-5 underdog at Boylesports against Stan Wawrinka (4-9, Ladbrokes).
Also on the agenda for today is the likes of Test cricket and rugby league so post your sporting tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly 
T20 blast cricket
Yorkshire 8/13 6pm
Nottinghamshire 4/9 6:30pm
Double 1.33/1 5points
Add kent 8/11 5:30pm
Treble 3.03/1 2points
Yorkshire have their england players back for this game against lancashire and look the much better team. Playing at home should also spur them on.
Nottinghamshire are favourites for the tournement and at home playing a very poor leicestshire side, 4/9 is a decent price.
Kent won 4 out of their first 5 games and are on a winning streak atm. It will come to an end at some point however against gloucestshire at home, i dont think so.
GL all, on a few nba tips tonight. Hopefullly wake up to some money.
Main Bet
J.R. Smith (Cavaliers) Over 20.5 Points/Rebounds & Assists @ 5/6 @ 365
Smaller Bets
Over 20.5 Total 3 point shots made @ 17/20 @ Ladbrokes
Over 102.5 1st Half Points @ 10/11 @ WillHill (Total now at Over 103)
Skybet have Over 102 1st Half Points @ 5/6 which is almost the same but you’ll get a push if the total is 102 at HT.
Ad, Safarova to win a set @11/10 is a quality bet!
Jambo, I agree, that silly slow walk she does after screaming her head of does my nut in, funny though lol
Capone31, Serena still playing the sick line – if she’s that ill Safarova can push her all the way.
So close to tip off AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHDKHGFRGOTIRHGFHGOHTGHTAHREEUIBHF!!!
Over 102.5 1st Half Points @ 10/11 @ WillHill **LOSE** 99
Close but nae cigar!
J.R Smith on 9 points and 2 rebounds so need 10 of anything in the 2nd half.
11 3 point shots made in the first half so need 10 in the second. I reckon J.R will get at least 2 more himself.
Main Bet
J.R. Smith (Cavaliers) Over 20.5 Points/Rebounds & Assists @ 5/6 @ 365 **LOSE** Started off so well but hardly had a look in second half
Smaller Bets
Over 20.5 Total 3 point shots made @ 17/20 @ Ladbrokes **LOSE** 19 (still 2 minutes in OT but can’t see it)
Might sit back and let this series play out. Don’t need to win/lose anymore until the Warriors are hopefully crowned.
Warriors -6 for Monday. Getting on now. Be surprised if Kyrie plays and he had a big game for the Cavs tonight.
Hya Jordan how many more NBA games to go before we hopefully collect from Mr bookie for GSW @ 15/4.
Mr F, can’t believe Safarova was 200’s a few weeks ago, also Murray is unreal at times. He gets to shots an hits returns that are amazing, I think he can take a set at least!
I agree Capone and at the Australian open it really looked like he was on his way to taking a 2nd.
Would have more hope for Andy if this wasn’t the only Slam Djockovic hasn’t won. :|
I’ll be leaving the betting an just hoping for the best but 3-1 odds 15/4 that Mr F has pointed out seems good.
“C’mon Andy!” :)
*14/5
Ps I had Williams yesterday 2-0 and Wawrinka win that paid 1.14/1
LOST! :(
So.. All over Wawrinka or don’t make that mistake again (first set Serena yesterday) and bet live?
Dutch Darts Masters
Outright – Van gerwen 7/4
Todays tips
Gurney
Henderson
O’Connor
Suljovic
Winstanley
Rodriguez
Webster
Klaasen
Anderson
9fold pays above 22/1.
Safer treble out of the 9
Gurney
Suljovic
Winstanley
Pays 1.6/1
Andy is usually competitive with djok but then djok just does his thing and pulls away with a 6-0 final set. They’re always good to watch.
Kist and Suljovic double today at the darts – pays around 6/5, good luck
Threddevils is that comment for me pal?
If so am on Wawrinka but the price is pants…also i was in work so in play wasn’t an option. She was up a break in the 2nd by time i finished an bet was busted!
Geeze peace lol ;)
Do know she’s good for losing the first set but :|
FRENCH OPEN 2015:
MATCH RESULT & BOTH PLAYERS TO WIN A SET *NOVAK DJOKOVIC*
6/4 William Hill
No Recoba don’t worry, it was not for you. Just a stupid bet I did yesterday.
I’m on Wawrinka set 2 now, looking good. Pre game I had 3-0 Wawrinka @3 but almost no money on it and didn’t post it so nothing to be proud of!
I shouldn’t post here during the game, it brings bad luck! Break Tsonga.
Anybody who has a serious bet on the Warriors to win the championship can cover their stake on the Cavaliers to win it @ 4/1 @ Stan James :D
Tickety first team to 4 mate! So 3 at minimum, 6 at maximum.
Cool Thereddevils an best o luck as a bottled it for 3-0 at 7/4 yesterday and just on him to win.
Tsonga making an effort now…or is he?
Still going double stakes on my remaining bets but not gonna put those silly brackets after every bet I post i don’t see the point just gonna mention it
NBA bet
* Lebron James over 28.5 points @ 5/6 **WON**
Just edged it with 44 points
Think Lebrons points might be a goldmine this series the warriors are letting him play and if kyries out next game don’t expect anyone else to see much of the ball than lebron himself, will be all over this bet on Monday too
Now i chose to bet on set 2 instead of set 1 and it’s the other way around. It’s a curse!
damnit, was so close to going with tsonga when he was 1-0 and a break down in the 2nd…odds were crazy…over 15/1 at one point !!
think alan norris at 5/4 might be worth a punt in the darts.
a no klaasen is on home turf but a think norris is the better player and at 5/4 worth a punt
god luck god bless
Kist and Suljovic double landed.
Not too much appealing for the later games tonight will have a look at tomorrows games and hopefully pick a few winners. Good luck
Watabanker, dont see it myself personally. But in this first to 6 legs format it wouldnt be the biggest surprise.
Wawrinka lost 1 set, just like Serena. I hope I pick the right set to bet on now in the Djokovic game!
Good Evening Guys.
Its Finals Time…Ye Ha…never knew much about NBA in October but i am now hooked after making a decent 4 figure profit during the season.
Thanks to the Dreamteam of Huggy and Jordan for showing me the ropes and also thanks to Attila and Picsix..its being great fun.

CSP LIMOGES VS NANCY BASKET (7:50pm)
Limoges lead the series 2-0, winning both games by 17 and 18 points respectively. Nancy will be missing 4 players for this one with Florent Pietrus, Vaughn Duggins, Benjamin Sene and Randal Falker, the latter of these being a huge blow to Nancy with Falker being a key player in their roster.
Limoges will be looking to retain their title and will be hoping to finish the series off on the road here. They have good form, MVP Adrien Moerman looked as strong as ever in the previous two matches and will look to continue his good run of form in game 3. Limoges have the best points percentage in the league and also boast the highest 3 point percentage. In contrast, Nancy aren’t well known for their shooting abilities and in particular are very poor from the free-throw line with only a 67% success rate.
I’ve not been overly impressed with Nancy this season and they’ve been very inconsistent at home which is yet another factor favouring Limoges.
Odds have already shortened considerably from yesterday but I’m still happy to take the bet at current odds….
Points Spread: Limoges -3.5 @ 20/23 Boylesport
Good luck!

Speculative small side bet!
CSKA MOSKVA VS BC KHIMKI (6pm)
No time for a write up but CSKA are more than capable of winning this by a considerable margin!
Points Spread: CSKA -19.5 @ 2/1 William Hill
Also worth looking at the unders for the points total, and think CSKA will start the 1st quarter strongly so maybe some value in the points spread.
Good luck!
looking good hunter , got a chance here
Evening Guys, Warrington Wolves v Catalan Dragons
The Sky game tonight is at the Helliwell Jones Stadium. The Wolves are giving up 14pts on the handicap and a win for either of these teams will see them move up to fourth in the table.
Catalan beat Warrington in the reverse fixture 38-18 but they struggle away from home. They got a draw at the Magic weekend last week, while Warrington blew a 12pt half time lead to lose to the Saints. The Dragons will be without winger Tonga and playmaker Todd Carney. I expect a open game with plenty of tries and a Warrington win.
Wingers Joel Monaghan and Gene Ormsby have both scored 9 tries each this season and Monaghan in particular is a 20+ a season guy. I expect wire to get the ball out wide as the Catalan pack is huge and going up the middle wont hurt them. They are 8/15 and 8/11 anytime but I don’t like tipping such short odds, so I am taking the William Hill special of 2/1 of them both crossing, in what I see being a try fest.
For the Dragons big Zeb Taia is in fine scoring form, but again it is a winger I can see crossing the line and that player is Michael Oldfield. He may only have six tries in 11 games, but he did score 2 in the reverse fixture earlier in the season. He as started slowly this season but scored 20 tries last season so 11/8 at Coral looks tempting for a prolific scorer.
MONAGHAN & ORMSBY BOTH TO SCORE 2/1
OLDFIELD TO SCORE 11/8
Good luck if your having a bet
I knew Murray had it in him, brilliant tennis, over 3.5 sets won, hope he wins it
Was hoping for a better start but like you say, still a good chance! C’mon you mules!
Managed to get on the 1st quarter spread so guaranteed to break even at least! Was also tempted by the unders points but steered clear after the 53 1st quarter points!
holland -1 , have a tenner at that

CSKA MOSKVA VS BC KHIMKI (6pm)
No time for a write up but CSKA are more than capable of winning this by a considerable margin!
Points Spread: CSKA -19.5 @ 2/1 William Hill *LOST*
Also worth looking at the unders for the points total, and think CSKA will start the 1st quarter strongly so maybe some value in the points spread.
Good luck!
Although the spread was well on course after the 1st half I already felt the bet was lost. CSKA have a tendency to start well and fade out in the 2nd. Don’t know why I overlooked this and didn’t opt for the 1st half spread!
What an incredible last hour of tennis that was in Novak v Murray. I missed all that came before so have a limited view on things, but that match finished with my completely on the fence as to who was going to win. That being the case, I have to tip Murray in play @ nearly 7/1. It might fall flat, but it’s surely worth a try the way Murray was playing by the end.
I’m also suggesting a title double of Safarova/ Wawrinka @ around 16/1.
Ad, I think Murray’s missed his chance now. If it had kept going he could have won as Djokovic was looking tired and rattled. Tough for Andy to pick it up again but at least he’s given himself a chance.
Yes Mr F, there’s no doubt it’s going to be incredibly tough. He will have to be at his very best from the start, but if he can just get himself really fired up he’s in this
Thanks for the basketball tip Hunter, I was on Limoges!

Nice to see the main bet land again! Limoges 3 point & free-throw shooting ability proved to be the decisive difference in a close encounter.
Thereddevils, no worries bud, glad you were on!
