NOVAK DJOKOVIC and Roger Federer both cruised to day-one wins at the World Tour Finals and today sees Andy Murray headline the 02 action.
The British No.1 has made it clear his priority is next week's Davis Cup Final but he should still make a winning start against David Ferrer who has lost four in a row to the Scot.
Murray is 10-29 at Sportingbet while Ferrer is a 16-5 shot at Stan James. Murray dispatched the Spaniard in straight sets in Paris earlier this month and he'll be keen to do so again to conserve energy, so Murray 2-0 looks the shout at 31-40 with Sportingbet.
In the other group game Stan Wawrinka bids to maintain his recent good h2h record over Rafa Nadal. Wawrinka has won three of the last four meetings – including in Paris this month – and is 7-10 favourite at Sportingbet with the Spaniard chalked up at 11-8 by Paddy Power.
In tonight's NFL action Cincinnati Bengals aim to continue their perfect start to the season when they host Houston Texans and there's also half a dozen NBA matches.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear all your sporting tips and chat here and on the forums.
Yet again it looks like the NY Giants break the Patriots winning run. ?
Cant believe the NFL what is happening?
Wow Patriots sneaked it at the end but not anough to cover the handicap for me.
Lol a bit too soon there John. Had two chances to pull the gap big enough but the TD was pulled back for a hold and then Brady threw an interception.
No write up as I’ve come to the conclusion that no matter how confident you are in any bet, you can always look like a knob come the end of the game :)
So…

Smashed it last night with a full house! :)
SUPERB , tell me you backed as an acca too !!!!
Nah unfortunately didn’t back as an acca!
I might start doing that, all though 9 times out of 10 one will let you down.
Great stuff R Duke, well done!
Cheers Hunter!
Nice work Raoul. Did you post on the old website at all?
Cheers Jordan. I was more of a lurker than a poster, all though did post a couple of times under the name ‘MSD’.
I’m pretty much a new member!
Now I see why coral have a special on both Murray and Nadal to win at what I thought was a massive 9/2.
Thanks for the info on the introduction. Might put a quid on it for interest.
Got to be worth a punt! Thanks for the heads-up.
Noticed that special was both to win in straight sets. Bit deceitful of coral that. Only went in with buttons so didn’t complain. They’d probably say I Should’ve read it properly but I’m sure I would have noticed. Hey ho. Like I said small money and it’s still on.

The difference is quality here is substantial. There is no doubt that Pao will easily win this match but the question is, by how much? Its likely Pao will rest a few of their players but this isnt a concern as I believe the replacements will still be of a higher standard than the opposing team players.
Pao are 5-0 so far in th league and are the only team that can threaten Olympiacos for the title. Pao are currently scoring an average 86 ppg so far this season and conceded an average of 69 ppg .
That brings us to the oppostion and arguably the worst team in the league, Arkadikos, currently last in the league standings, 1-4 so far and they are really struggling with their game. Arkadikos have scored a dismal 60 ppg which really doesn’t bare well for them against a fairly robust Pao defence.
I can see a real thrashing here and will happily take on what I feel is a fairly generous Spread offered by Ladbrokes.
Panathinaikos @ Arkadikos (17:00GMT)
Spread: Panathinaikos -25.5
Single @ 5/6 @ Ladbrokes – 1.5pts staked
Good luck if you follow!
I’m on it mate!
Think i’ve missed out the best i can get now is -30.5 Ladbrokes good luck anyway guys
That’s a pity Gazza. Was just about to add a few more points to thus bet myself :( Not surprised tbh, next best when I placed my bet was -31.5 @ 10/11.

I’m not the biggest fan over Euro bball overs/unders but this game does standout as one of those that has a good chance of going over the line.
This should be a great game as both teams are in form right now, both 5 out of their first 6 games. CSKA just lost at home to Unicaja in a surprise defeat so I expect them to come out guns blazing and try and get off to a good start which may leave them more exposed in defence. Although I believe Moscow will will this, Kazan are more than capable of scoring 70+ points and with the early tempo set by Moscow, I can see them scoring 90+.
All in all, this game has overs written all over it.

ATP World Tour Finals – O2
Rafa Nadal Vs. Stan Wawrinka
selection: over 2.5 sets @ 2.25
This should be a really close contest between Stan and rafa. These guys met the other week in Paris. It was 2-0 to Stan, both sets won in a close tie break. I except rafa to at least win a set today and I feel 3 sets could be on the cards here !!
Back down to earth with a big thud! Apologies to anyone who followed. Will be back with a better card over next few days.
Hopefully Nadal will win later to save my day!
REGIANNA -40.5 IM ON IT
NBA selections for tonight:
– Thunder/Grizzlies under 198.5
– Pacers +6.5
Double:
– Spurs -6.5
– Suns -6.5
Trebble:
– Add: Mavericks -4.5
Celtics @ Rockets
Celtics +5 @ 1.90 – 1.5 Points.
Celtics have had some decent results recently, beating some good teams. Rockets on the other hand have lost 3 in a row.
Celtics are the hotter team, and I think will win or at least keep the game close and cover the spread.
Huggy, do you have anything in mind for tonight’s NBA games?
@ray_ez, thanks for the heads-up on the tennis offer from Coral, saved my day!
No sweat hunter. Glad it came in. Appologies for the delay. Still sussing things out. Appreciate the comment
MATE , for night only , the super single returns…
toss up between rockets -4.5 h2 boston or grizzlies -2.5 h2 thunder
GONNA TAKE MEMPHIS AS MY MAIN BET
FUNBET paul george over 9.5 rebounds doubled over 106 houston team points
what we all fancy guys ?
On it!
Thanks for the Memphis tip huggy.. ?
No probs..
I owe u a few
Brilliant once again mate!
Stuck between Celtics and Grizzlies / Thunder totals so will take both as a double.
Money Line: Celtics @ 33/20
Grizzlies / Thunder Total Points: Under 197.5 @ 10/11
Double @ 51/10 William Hill – 1pt staked
Good luck gents!
considering the mavericks but Philadelphia are always competitive..
think ill be taking Spurs / phoenix spreads, not sure yet.
thoughts?
Mulac, I like Spurs and Suns but I don’t like double digit spreads, so I doubled them both (check above).
Seems safe enough.
Added Mavs with lower spread as well for a trebble.
(Small stakes as I’m testing the waters)
Gonna add a prop bet with Monta Ellis (Pacers) over 14.5 pts.
Paul George is on fire but Bulls will probably try to guard him so should give more shooting opportunities for Ellis.
@Jordan any props tonight?
Jordan about tonight?
I’m on 3 singles today boys, all 5 points:
– Pacers +6.5 @ $1.91
– Rockets-4.5 @ $1.91
– Suns -11.0 @ $1.90
looks good m8, think ill be on this but swapping rockets for spurs (they are well rested and portland looked very poor yesterday)
Yesterday I said the Rams have nothing on offense other than Todd Gurley. Nick Foles their QB who they traded away Sam Bradford for is now being benched in favour of ex Houston Texan backup Case Keenum. Peyton Manning has also been told he will not start next week. Ahh the uncertainties of the NFL haha
Scroll up gents, scroll up ;)
Seen the NFL tip mate anything for the NBA tonight?
No gazza mate just the TD bet.
Oriaz nearly too Ellis myself today as George Hhill won’t play so Ellis will have to get some points up. Also fancied Zach Randolph to get his total against OKC. Think it was 15.5 before.
Took*
What a dumbest, selected overs instead of unders on my bet. Just spent the best part of an hour on Willy Hill live chat grrrrrrr!
