CAN anyone stop Novak Djokovic? Roger Federer reckons the world No.1 isn't invincible and today he'll try to prove it when the pair square up in their second group match at the Tour Finals in London.
Djokovic is on a 23-match winning streak and defeated Federer in the final of both Wimbledon and the US Open this year.
However, the Swiss legend has inflicted two of Djokovic's five losses in 2015 and thrives on the indoor conditions at the O2 where the courts are said to be slower than usual by the players this week.
Still, it's hard to see past Djokovic who is 1-3 at Paddy Power for the win that looks set to seal top spot in the group, while a 2-0 success for the Serb pays 11-12 at Marathonbet.
Federer is 11-4 at Ladbrokes for match victory and and evens at William Hill to win a set.
In the day's earlier group match Kei Nishikori goes in as 6-4 underdog at Stan James against Tomas Berdych, the 4-6 favourite (Boylesports).
It's honours even at 1-1 in the cricket four-match ODI series between England and Pakistan ahead of today's third outing. England are slight favourites at 10-11 with Betway while Pakistan are available at 10-9 with Marathonbet.
There's more cricket plus plenty of Stateside sport worth a punt so let's hear all your tips and chat and good luck with your bets.
In December 2020 we sadly 
Eifert is having a nightmare!
***POSTED YESTERDAY***
I’m on 3 singles today boys, all 5 points:
***WON*** – Pacers +6.5 @ $1.91
***LOST*** – Rockets-4.5 @ $1.91
***WON*** – Suns -11.0 @ $1.90
***5 points profit for the day. Don’t know what is wrong with the Rockets, I keep thinking they’ll come good.
Attila.. Thanks for the Suns tip mate..always nice to win money while sleeping haha…?..
was on atilla’s treble / swapping rockets for spurs spread :)
Filipino – glad I were on mate!
Mlac – wasn’t a treble 3 x singles) but glad u got a decent win out of it! (Think I’ll give up on the rockets for a while – don’t k ow why’s with them!)
Yeah Nick but I don’t need you to highlight every time one of my bets looks dodgy mate. He’s had a nightmare but none of his drops are anywhere near the endzone so it doesn’t make a difference. Thanks.
Once again the NFL has F*CKED my week with another underdog winning. Not touching it this weekend. Will update numbers later today.
Tyler Eifert (Bengals) Anytime TD @ EVS @ Skybet – 5 points **LOSE**
Forgot I had already done it yesterday without the Eifert bet so with the 5 points loss tonight, totals since September 10th on this thread stands at.
Bets 100
Points Staked 236.35
Points Returned 254.75
Profit/Loss +18.4
Could be worse but I’m not happy with those numbers to say two weeks ago it was almost +50.
Mate i give it a month and that’ll be a plus
Us sports crazy atm
Plus 50 that is…
Hey Jordan mate if it wasn’t for your tips i would be in the grubber so you keep
up the good work soon we’ll both have 50 + in points as well as age.
Lol tickety I got 23 years to go yet bud!
I don’t think anyone questions your tipping ability Jordan, your tips have made plenty of followers plenty of cash over the last few months. Chin up lad.
Celtics +5 @ 1.90 – 1.5 Points. – *WON*
Just the 1 bet from me last night, but glad to find another winner.
Huggys single grizzlies -2.5
WINNER !!!!
CATCH U ALL LATER
Looks like we’ve had a good night on the NBA. Getting some positive results and happy with the selections. Congrats to all winners!
——-
– Thunder/Grizzlies under 198.5 ** LOST ** (Free scoring game).
– Pacers +6.5 *** WIN ***
– Ellis over 14.5 pts *** WIN ***
Double: *** WIN ***
– Spurs -6.5
– Suns -6.5
Trebble: *** WIN ***

Good stuff OriaZ!
You’ve become a quality NBA tipster..
KEEP IT UP MATE
First bet for tonight
Nicolas Batum (Charlotte Hornets) 18.5+ @ 1.83 – 2 Points.
Batum has been on fire recently, averaging 25.5 in the last 4. Last time Hornets played Knicks he managed 24.
Batum won me money on the weekend, and I knew his points line would increase, but 18.5 is still a very good number for a player that’s in this kind of form.
I’ll be on Batum as well Raoul, 18.5 seems really achievable.
Ice hockey
Czech extraliga
Plzen @ 2.05
Mountfield @ 3.0
1pt each
Plzen @ 2.05 *won*
Mountfield @ 3.0 *lost*
Annoyingly Mountfield won in overtime.
Very close Dazzler, Mountfield ended up winning but in overtime.
Still a tiny bit of profit with Plzen winning.
Not about anyone doubting my ability lads, don’t care if you thought I was sh*t haha, its just the frustrating results that the NFL has brought up in the last couple of weeks. A team that has conceded an average of 37 points over their last three road games can go into an undefeated team who average 30 points a game can win, and hold the team to two field goals. It’s just complete b*llocks. Houston wanted it more at the end of the day. Bengals back down to earth. Knowing my luck I will pump every penny into the Vikings this weekend and my Packers will smash them out of the park!
Just one for tonight.
Jarret Jack (Brooklyn Nets) Over 6.5 Assists @ 5/6 @ PP 2.4 points

14 games in week 10 of the NFL. 3 favourites winning outright, 11, yes ELEVEN underdogs winning outright.
1 point on every winner
From 3 points staked on the winning favourites you would have made 1.07 points profit. (4.07 total return)
From 11 points staked on the 11 winning underdogs you would have made 23.11 points profit. (34.11 total return)
What a farce!
Bookies laughing all the way to the bank on weeks like that m8
Initial NBA thoughts:
– Hawks -3.5 at Nets
– Tor/Gsw O.207
What you guys thinking?
Btw – good wins yesterday lads! Reminder to keep to level stakes tho (false sense of success after a good day usually bites ya the next with NBA)
Very true mate.. thats one i earmarked gsw total
Have a decent look now and post mine

steph curry over 5.5 assists
karl anthony towns over 11.5 boards
chris bosh over 21.5 points
brook lopez over 9 boards
pozingis over 8.5 boards
few to mull over , leaning towards bosh , hornets ….
see what the guys are on and i`ll put my halfpenny in
Probably my last bet tonight, Charlotte Hornets -1 @ 1.90 – 1.5 Points.
Lol didn’t mean to reply to you Huggy, but answers a question for you anyway!
Been going over a few options today, Bucks 4.5+ also looks good, but finally settled on Hornets -1.
They beat Knicks last week, and I think they’ll do it again tonight.
raoul mate , we had a lotta success last year when we bounced ideas around the group… keep it up
Yeah will do man.. team effort!
What have you decided on for tonight?
Looking forward to your tips Huggy!
Euro Basketball Fun Bet
Gussing Knights @ Chalon
Spread: Knights +8.5 @ 8/5
Krka @ Porto
Money Line: Porto @ 1/1
Tarvas @ Jarmala
Money Line: Jarmala @ 4/5
La Mans @ Gran Canaria
Money Line: Le Mans @ 5/1
Fourfold @ 56/1 – 0.5pts staked
Missed the porto game but I’m on the treble for small stakes! Let’s see the night started right.
Porto game starts in 15 mins bud. So far so good. £95 cash out option on my £10.
I only had 50p on so I’m at a fiver cash out which is nice. Meant to say the Jarmala game haha
Le Mans attempting to match Gran Canaria on 3 pointers. They’re never gonna do that. The lack of discipline is always their downfall.
Any thoughts on Steph Curry lads?
Chalons Reims – Limoges ( Under 148,5)
Nanterre – Bilbao (Over 154,5)
Gran Canaria – Le Mans (Over 152,5)
Stake 10/10
@swcfc1888 I find the only problem with betting on the big boys totals is that if they are winning by a big margin they are likely to be pulled and not play full minutes. You never know though with Golden State. The Nets led for the majority of the game the other night and even ended up going to OT.
Huggy I’m on the Jack assists as he’s turned into a bit of a Rondo over his last couple of games. Averages 7.3 per game but has 9 and 12 in his last two. 6.5 a good total.
GONNA join you on that mate , fingers crossed
Cheers boys gl with your bets
NBA selections for tonight:
– Hawks -4.5
– Batum over 18.5 pts
Double:
