CORAL have pushed the odds on Kevin Pietersen ever playing for England again out to 9-2 from 1-2 following the news that he will not be picked this summer.
The prospects for England’s cricket team this summer don’t look great according to the bookies. Coral have opened betting on the correct score for this summer’s Ashes Series and make an Australian 5-0 whitewash the 9-2 favourite, with a 4-0 victory to Australia the second favourite at 5-1.
England are 7-1 with Coral to fail to win any Test Match this summer, against New Zealand and Australia, and are just 33-1 to lose every match.
Alastair Cook is still odds-on to be England captain at the end of the year at 4-7 but is just 5-4 not to be. England are 3-1 to win the Ashes Series and reclaim the urn.
At the Madrid Open tennis on Wednesday, Andy Murray begins his bid for a third straight title against Jeremy Chardy and big names Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer and Kei Nishikori are also in action.
In the women's singles British No.1 Heather Watson is 3-1 at BetVictor to get past Carla Suarez Navarro (3-10, Stan James) while Victoria Azarenka versus Caroline Wozniacki is a close call with both available at evens.
There's also cycling, cricket and Stateside sporting action if you fancy a punt so post your tips and chat here.

Getting this in early but I’m tipping my namesake Jack to win Big Brother, he’s currently 5/2 but I can’t see this staying for more than a week or two unless he’s really boring or someone undergoes major transformation.

Didnt watch the Clippers game so don’t know what went down but it goes to game 6 in LA. Good double Picksix I put a bit on that myself. Well done to the winners (sorry I can’t remember everyones bets)
Repost:
Really annoying not being able to follow, study and tip much on the tennis lately. A quick glance at today’s thread and i see de Niro with a great tip of Jankovic 2-0 giorgi. I was meant to be on JJ but forgot to place! never really doubted her here against CG. Saw bits of Azarenka today and she was pretty garbage. And 16 doubles to 0 aces speaks for itself. Woz struggled a bit against her recently but I expect her to win if she plays a half decent match. 1/1 to get it done. A tad wary though, Woz not 100% reliable, and this being WTA and all.
I also think GGL is a decent price to beat Dolgopolov @ 10/11. But again, no guarantees here. So I’m going to keep stakes small and enjoyable.

Good shout again De Niro, would’ve been on that but missed it!

Tempted by the a few tips by the usual suspects but think I’ll just stick with my props tonight!
Good luck guys!
Seems like most managed to dodge a few banana skins and come away with profit which is impressive! Liked the look of a few of the totals but I’m happy with my props on a tricky night to call.

Anyone fancy betting against an exhausted and most likely un-motivated Murray which isn’t quite the same thing, I would never back Jim to beat fresh Murray.
I know there should be some value in backing against Murray during this tournament, but is this it?

Hunter – it’s an interesting one. Have a look on the handicaps. If Chardy is +4.5 might be worth a go. I’m tempted by the outright as well
AD – nice to see u back!
I was going to tip Dolgopolov v Garcia-Lopez at Evens – but seen u have gone for Garcia. Think I’ll leave it alone
Thanks for the heads up Iddy. Really tempted by this price bud, just have a feeling but glad it’s not just me! Worth a small stake surely?
My treble above doesn’t start tull 9:30 now and it’s Clezar not Clezer.

Any takers @ 11/2 Paddy Power & Betfair
Anyone fancy betting against an exhausted and most likely un-motivated Murray which isn’t quite the same thing, I would never back Jim to beat fresh Murray.
He who dares!!!
Hunter, if Murray was that tired and not motivated he wouldn’t be playing in Rome. Feeling I get is he’d like a couple of matches to experience conditions much more like Paris so I don’t think he’ll lose against Chardy but I’m pretty sure he won’t go deep into the tournament either.
Hunter – I have put a small stake on Chardy so am on with u haha
My double for the day on the tennis;
BOUCHARD v Diyas 4/7
BATISTA-AGUT v Bellucvi 4/11
Double pays 1.15/1
Bouchard has been off form but is a very good player and French open semi finalist and I expect her to get back on form today.
Agut v bellucci could be a close match but Agut has become so consistent and beats these type of players, and usually only loses to the top players.
Followd ur tip.. @huggybear rockets game over 218 pts @1.85 win! booommm !!
Same for @dazzler wit the mlb, took white sox game over 5.5runs @1.4 win! booommm !! Added red sox game over 5.5runs @1.3 win! Booom !!

Atlanta Hawks HT/FT

Ill be on your double picksix
Good luck jag
Not worried about the warriors , Im sure the Hawks will tonight just hoping they start off well is the risk on that one
Thanks for your thoughts Mr F, looks like you’re spot on! Maybe more value in the later stages!?!
Yeah, he’d want to get a few matches on a similar surface. Madrid is a fair bit faster than Rome and Roland Garros.
Jeremy Chardy to beat Andy Murray 11/2 has to be worth a punt, Obviously this match is more about what Murray plays like rather than Chardy, I can see Murray being tired so yes Chardy 11/2 I’m on.
14:35 Uk time – J-W Tsonga WIN. He was 8/11 earlier today currently been backed in to around 8/15 mark. Free money guys

Tsonga not looking good at all so far
@dazzler tks mate… White sox tips.. Wat do u feel, in the washigtn-arizona game.. Shuld go over 8runs
HUGGY`S MAIN BET
wizards +8 looks generous expect atlanta to win but not confident they`ll win by the 9 , also expecting this to go over the total.
the other game is probably the opposite and should go under the total , also can`t see memphis getting humped again.
SO TONIGHTS BET FOR ME IS
WIZARDS OVER 192.5 AND MEMPHIS +14 ( PAYS 1.08/1 )
GOOD LUCK GUYS
SMALL PROP ON AL HORFORD OVER 17.5
Anasewhiz can’t see any reason why the game wouldn’t go to at least 8 could be double figures
inplay alba berlin -1.5
What are people’s thoughts on skybet special of the highest scoring team tonight, GSW are favourites but I like the price for the Hawks at 2/1 as we know the grizzlies can be solid in defence and with the hawks being at home I’m sure they will come out firing could be worth a shot
I’d say Hawks.
That’s a good price ladbrokes have the Hawks 6/4 favourites to be the highest scoring team 2/1 worth a shout
Tsonga 8/11 *LOSE*
Poor performance had 3 match points and bottled it. I cashed out for a small profit as it went to the wire.
Definitely having 10 bob on that!

Warriors game about to start but set the alarm for the end of the Wizards game, Paul Pierce hits another three with 12 seconds on the clock to take the lead and man of the night Al Horford gets the winning lay up for Atlanta. Well done Huggy. Gutted my Wizards series bet could have been looking healthy there!
Double or nothing on the Warriors 1st half points. In it to win it. 100 sheets.
Hahaha I like your style sensei!
How sh*t has Klay Thompson been in this series btw!
God, back to bed I go!
