THERE'S a Six Nations blockbuster this afternoon as the top two go head to head at Twickenham.
England have a perfect start with three wins under new boss Eddie Jones but face their toughest test against a Wales side who have won two of their last three visits to Twickenham – in last year's World Cup and the Six Nations four years ago.
England are 8-15 at Paddy Power for victory while the Welsh, a point behind in the standings, are 23-10 at Unibet.
In the earlier game it should be a question of how Ireland win by against whipping boys Italy, with the hosts evens at bet365 minus 24 points.
There's loads more sporting action on a packed Saturday of sport including Twenty20 World Cup cricket and Indian Wells tennis so let's hear all your tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly

GAA FOOTBALL BET SATURDAY
Down v Dublin..Dublin -8 pts @ 10/11 paddypower
Dublin with 4 wins from 4 sit top of Lg 1 and play away to a Down sitting bottom with zero wins from 4, All Ireland champs in 3/5 years and chasing a 4th Allianz lg title in a row Dublin should have very few problems in Newry tomorrow @ 7pm.
Down are on the brink of relegation with defeats to Donegal 3-15 to 0-7 {17 pt loss}Monaghan 0-13 to 0-11,{2pt loss} Kerry 0-22 to 0-6 {14pt loss} and last weekend to Roscommon 1-12 to 0-6 {6pt loss} leave the Mourne County adrift on zero points at the bottom of the table with a scoring difference of -44, the worst in all four divisions.
Dublin are far and away streets ahead of Down both in personnel and form and beat Kerry by 2 goals {6 pts},the same Kerry side you will note beat Down by 14 pts, Down sitting -44 averages at -11 per game and thats against sides not at the same level as Dublin. Dublin -8 @ 10/11 screams GET ON IT!!! to me.
GOOD LUCK.
Good value here. -8 would be being polite to Down. The dub’s on their day are lethal.
Thought as much myself @barton4life looks decent value
How is Dublin doing? Can’t find score on bet365? Thanks
Cycling:
It’s WH versus the rest of the bookies, as the other bookies have it the other way round.

Big dent in the profit with last night’s results, too many selections I liked and should have narrowed it down really. I was expecting surprises but it didn’t come from the selected teams. Anyways, onwards.
Congrats to all winners!

Hate to break it to you man, but Blazers lost by 16.
Bounce back tonight ??
Cheers @raoul-duke, didn’t check the results, only my betting slips and I have it as a winner (they’ll probably realise it at some point). Will keep it in mind and update the next stats.
Charlotte Hornets -3.5 @ 1.90 (Bet365) – 2 Points. – *WON*
Comfortable win for the Hornets in the end ?

Afternoon gents. Small loss last night. Houston won outright to down the 2.2 double but Jrue smashed it for the Pelicans again bringing up his points and assists (34 and 10). Maybe another one to keep an eye on tonight if Cole is out but I’m pretty sure Paddys would have bumped it up closer to 30 by now. 0.2 loss but nothing to cry about. Working tonight but will likely have something up before I leave. Well done to the winners last night.
Berdych to beat Del Portro 7/10 PP. Good luck.
Vinci to win 0.8 at PP against Gasparyan.
‘Wales +10.5 & the Lions +16.5’ Lost
‘Cheetahs ML, Chiefs ML and the Reds +14.5’ Won
Treble won but the NAP lost. Obviously would have rather had it the other way around but not a bad weekend again.
Konta to win against Brengle. 0.8 at PP.
Benoot to beat Gavazzi @ 2.00 with WH (Tirreco-Adriatico stage 4) WIN :)
Izagirre to beat Kelderman @ 2.00 with WH (Paris-Nice stage 6) WIN :)
Excellent Mr O. Had them as singles and a nice double. Thx
Cheers mr orange!! Was on the double m8
No NBA bet for me tonight. Think +18 is massive for Phoenix who have shown flashes of performing but consistency is the key which they have little of. Bookers total could be worth a go. He’s been playing an average of 39 minutes even in their blowout losses and has hit 27 or more in 3 of his last 4. 17.5 Points @ 5/6 @ Paddys seems reasonable but this is just a guideline.
Big game in the West between OKC and the Spurs so expect the big boys to play well (Durant, Westbrook, Leonard, Aldridge) Leonard loves to contribute everywhere and 33.5 PR&A probably the best value out there @ 5/6 @ Paddys.
Good luck with your punts gents.
Going to post a NRL treble for the early morning, pays 4/1 so I’m going small stakes
Canberra +4.5
Rabbitohs -9.5
Cowboys win
Also having a go on Canberra over 26.5 team points doubled with Rabbitohs over 32.5 which pays 10/1
Just 2 fun bets hopefully wake up to a bonus!
***LOST***
Close but no cigar! The reigning champs down the treble
Six Nations
England v Wales in running
WALES +17.5 NAP/NB 1/1 bet365 (double stake)
WALES to win 18/1 bet365
Brilliant mate was on at +18.5! Anything on the tennis?
As big as the spread is I expect Atlanta to blow out Memphis. Conley and Randolph out again with Vince Carter questionable. That’s already after losing Chalmers for the season and Gasol still not available. Atlanta one of the best defensive teams this season.
4 points in the end, England won but it was far from impressive and this comment won’t go down well but if you know me then you will know I don’t care,
This England team will go down as the worst team ever to win a six nations championship but it’s the name on the trophy that counts, just ask Greece
Johnb, you better put the hard hat on.
Didn’t watch it so can’t comment.
Far from impressive, but with a new coach installed what, 8 weeks from the start of the tournament and only had about 3 weeks to work with the players… It would be unrealistic to think they can play like a southern hemisphere side. Forget the fact they won the 6 nations, Eddie Jones blooded in Maro, Clifford, Daly and made Billy V an integral part of this team. Think the 6 nations was just a bonus to be honest.
not a great weekend for boxing tonight, and it certainly wont be topping last week when i won a 2/1, 3/1, 7/4, and 11/10!
just one stick’s out:
Terry Flanaghan to win on points: 2/1 (low stakes)
flanaghan is a 1/7 favourite to win against tough veteran derry matthews, flanaghan has gone in an impressive run of stoppage win’s, however his power is being a bit overrated imo.
he already faced derry and won clearly on points and i expect the same to happen tonight, although a late stoppage from an accumulation of punches is clearly what the bookies expect.
Derry’s record say’s he will be stopped with 7 stoppage defeats from 9 however with a huge pay day on the line for terry agaisnt crolla on possibly his next fight, i think he will stick to boxing.
INPLAY -Zolani Tete v gonzalez round 9 and under: 4/5
INPLAY -Zolani Tete v gonzalez round 9 and under: 4/5 *won*
(Starting now) Tommy Langford Points 5/4 (small stakes)
Tonight’s NBA picks: Again a lot of things I like (might post some more later), hope to bounce back tonight.
– (In play) Mavericks +2.5 @ 10/11 (Unibet) – 1 pt
The game is pretty close atm with a good start from the Pacers but Mavericks are starting to get back. They really need this win to stay in the play-off spots.
– Wizards ML @ 10/11 (Unibet) – 2 pts
Nuggets/Wizards: It’s hard to play against the Nuggets at home, especially with a B2B, but Wizards really need to get some wins if they want to try and reach the playoffs.
– Blazers -3.5, Rockets +11.5 @ 10/11 (Unibet) – 3 pts
Blazers/Magics: Blazers back at home after a loss to the Warriors, expect them to bounce back against the Magics.
Hornets/Rockets: Hornets are red hot at the moment but Rockets have won the last 11 h2h, I can’t see the Hornets blow the Rockets away.
@raoul-duke, Bucks -5.5 tonight ? What do you think?
(In play) Mavericks +2.5 @ 10/11 (Unibet) – 1 pt ** LOST **
Hope that’s not a sign for tonight …

INPLAY: Jurgan Braehmer KO: 6/4
Milwaukee Bucks -5 @ 1.83 (PP) – 2 Points.
Good luck.
@oriaz you preempted this bet haha.
Detroit Pistons -11 @ 1.90 (Bet365) – 2 Points.
76er’s are a very depleted team on a b2b, against a Pistons team that need a win. This will be a blowout.
Good luck.
Haha Raoul! I had Bucks and Pistons written down as well so will add the following picks:
– Spurs -4.5, Bucks ML (double) @ 1/1 (Unibet) – 2 pts
Spurs/Thunder: Thunder will probably want to react against their poor performance against the Wolves yesterday, but this is the Spurs at home.
Bucks/Pelicans: Raoul likes the Bucks at home and I have to agree, specially against the Pelicans who haven’t been great on the road.
– Adding Pistons -6.5 (trebble) @ 2/1 (Unibet) – 1 pt
** Fingers crossed tonight for a bounce back **
Good luck!
