THE Stan Smith group comes to an end at the World Tour Finals today and Novak Djokovic knows a win over Tomas Berdych will book his semi-final spot.
The world No.1 was stunned by Roger Federer in his previous outing but another slip-up is unlikely against Berdych who just lost 20 of their 22 meetings.
Djokovic is just 1-12 at Marathonbet for victory and 6-19 at Unibet to win in straight sets against Paddy Power's 9-1 underdog.
Federer is all but guaranteed a semi-final place and he faces Kei Nishikori who needs to win and hope Djokovic loses.
Nishikori, who trails Fed 3-2 in the head-to-head and has lost their last two collisions, is 50-11 at 10bet to upset the world No.3 who is just 2-11 for victory.
In the Thursday night NFL action it's Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars and there's also a few NBA games for the Stateside sport fans.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear your sporting tips and chat.

DEANDRE JORDAN OVER 12.5 BOARDS 2.5 POINTS
good luck guys , hopefully NBA goes true to form .
Jay thev`e gone mad on the Rondo assist spread….
I like the LeBron James and Curry picks.. think I’ll be on one if not both of these
I know mate. I said yesterday it was probably too high at 11.5 yesterday and he only got 10. Might be worth looking at his points though as that’s still fairly low to say he’s been contributing a fair bit this season. Not much I like tonight though. Might see what props 365 give us. Paul and Redick doubtful. Griffin and Crawford will need to step up.
NBA team – u guys smashed it last night. Well done Huggy, Jordan, Raol, Oriaz and anyone I have missed.
Thanks guys – had a ‘safe’ treble paying 1.24/1 based on your tips.
Spurs over 190
Houston under 220
Chicago +11
Sailed in comfortably – hopefully more of the same tonight. Good to see you guys working together and bouncing ideas.
Bucks @ Cavs
LeBron James 28+ Points @ 1.83 – 2.2 Points. (tipped by Huggy)
I’m also on this bet.
There are some really good reasons to back LeBron tonight – Cavs are coming back home after 2 defeats on the road against Bucks and Pistons, they’ll be after blood tonight.. revenge and bounce back.
LeBron James has an average of 31.6 in 5 games, and got 37 points in Milwaukee.
They couldn’t deal with him on Saturday, they’re not going to tonight!
I got 2 wins, 1 push & 1 loss on my main 5 point singles yesterday, just the Celtics capitulation in the 4th qtr letting me down.
Today I also like Cavs -9.5, and keen on Kings +7.5 and GSW -6.5 too.
HUGGY – so close man! Don’t ya hate that. Btw – can’t believe bookies still haven’t copped on to the Curry assists.. He makes at least 8 each game and they keep setting them at 5.5 haha
NFL
Titans v Jaguars
10 points on Over 42.5 match points @ 1.9 (Betfair)
My tip for tonight is
Greg Monroe (Milwaukee Bucks) 10+ Rebounds @ 1.83 – 1.5 Points.
If you look at the numbers alone you may not feel like this is a solid bet, Monroe’s last 6 games – 7, 8, 14, 10, 17, 5.
However, the key stat here is the 17 rebounds.. a season high for Monroe, against the Cavs.
I expect him to be just as busy, if not more tonight.
Delanie Walker (Tennessee Titans) Over 47.5 Receiving Yards @ 5/6 @ Paddy Power – 2.4 points
Bloody hell just gone on PP been removed i cant find it anywhere
Gazza it’s there mate?
Player A Total Receiving Yards
Cheers mate found it under more markets
Haha, Ladbrokes has it at 60.5.
Pays to shop around Oriaz mate. Still might get that total but can’t turn down 47.5 even if its 5/6. William Hill have 50.5 @ 10/11.
Yeah I know, but bookies are still limited here in Belgium, don’t have PP or WH.
Blake Bortles rushing total seems viable @ 22.5 @ Ladbrokes too. Despite the Titans poor win record they have a top 10 pass defense. That’s probably mostly due to their pass rush that ranks 5th in sacks with 27. With Bortles ranking in the top 6 in sacks against, he isn’t shy to take off having covered 21 rushing yards or more in 7 of his 9 games.
I’ll put a point on that for interest.
Blake Bortles (Jacksonville Jaguars) Over 22.5 Rushing Yards @ 17/20 @ Ladbrokes – 1 point
Jordan, Ladbrokes have Bortles over 22.5 at evens. The 17/20 was for unders, which is now 8/11.. Is the bet overs and you have just quoted the wrong price?
No error from me mate. http://www.oddschecker.com/american-football/nfl/tennessee-titans-at-jacksonville-jaguars/total-rushing-yds-blake-bortles/bet-history/over/today
I’ve got over 22.5 @ evens as well on Ladbrokes.
Gonna put a point on it anyway.
Cheers Jordan was just checking. Been following your tips for a while and especially the NFL ones. Keep up the good work.
Great stuff on the NBA Lads….long may it continue!
Wasn’t around yesterday but managed to net myself a nice 3/1 on Madrid to lose yesterday in the Euroleague. Since being put up as competition favourites at the beginning of the campaign I’ve mentioned on a few occasions that I think they’d struggle this year. It now looks as if they might even struggle to get out of their group, sad times as a Madrid fan!
If Madrid fail to progress, I will be looking to Olympiakos to deliver on my 10/1 (now 8/1) bet and hope they are crowned champions in the absence of the not so mighty Madrid.

@jordan, any idea where thechief has gone? Did you have is email?
No idea and no I don’t mate.
Wonder where he’s gone. He was a real addition to the other sports thread.
I’m sure Mr F will know if you ask him
gazza, what’s the question.
@mr-fixit, the question is “Where is thechief” ? :D
@oriaz wanted to know where Chief is or if you had an email address for him….i seem to remember you saying he might be part of the new site…apologies if i’m wrong
gazza, I expect thechief to be around and he has a Gold membership.
I’m not pressing people to contribute at this time as we’re still finding our feet but I hope he does.
Great to see loads contributing to the NBA , a lot of sound advice (raoul duke) , this is why more info and research will produce more winners.
I will be surprised if Lebron doesn`t get a measily 7 a quarter home court in a game in which they need to stop the slide.
ATTILA , Steph Curry 1.5 assists a quarter , SURELY…
Guess we`ll find out soon enough .
ps where`s tonight`s winning prop Jay , on a prop(er) roll…..
For real, the more info we share and idea’s we bounce off each other the more success everyone’s going to have.
It’s still early days in the season, and already in a pretty nice bit of profit… lets keep this going!
Is anyone on Warriors @ Clippers tonight?
Huggy was waiting for 365 to give us Griffins points, rebounds and assists but they’re not bothering. Jamal Crawfords total reachable at 17.5 but only 10/13. He and Griffin will be LAs main two tonight if Paul and Redick don’t play. Both game time decisions. Only NFL for me tonight.
I am no NBA expert, but after reading the tips I saw below bet available at WH.
LeBron James To Score 28 Or More Points And Cleveland Cavaliers To Win @ 2.15
Mr O its one to consider. I’m put off by the fact there was a very low scoring game between these two the other day and James only got his total from double overtime, and of course the Bucs won outright. Cavs will have do to well to lose at home but this is a division game so should remain competitive. Cavs have lost three straight division games and the Bucs will have their best player back in Jabari Parker. Only positive I can take is that the Cavs beat the Pacers at home (division game) who for me are the better side . Just my two cents.
Thanks for your views Jordan. I sometimes bet on total points in NBA, when these are posted on here. The rest is abacadabra to me.
NBA chaps,
Really struggling with finding a confident pick for tonight (other than the already mentioned prop bets).
Cavs -9.5 is really not tempting (even if Huggy suggested it). Cavs have been careless lately (especially in the 4th quarter. 10 pts seems a lot to me but then again they’re perfectly capable of covering it. Don’t think I’m gonna touch this game.
With Chris Paul and Reddick “supposedly” out for the Clippers, Warriors -6.5 is very tempting but then again they’ve struggled last 2 matches against the Raptors/Nets. Curry will have to play a huge game 30.5 pts seems doable for him but Huggy’s assits tip looks very good.
Was gonna play it ‘safe’ with Warriors ML and Bucks +17.5, but that’s no where near evens.
So I’ll follow (small stakes) LeBron James 28+ Points, Greg Monroe 10+ Rebounds, Curry over 5.5 assists and will add Curry 30.5+ pts.
Still can’t resist going for Clippers/Warriors over 212 pts. Both teams will want to make a statement (Clippers want to hand the Warriors their first loss and Warriors will want to keep the record going).
Hope nobody has backed the Kings.. No Cousins tonight after a throwing an elbow at Al Horford yesterday. I’d expect Rudy Gay to be the prime offensive leader for the Kings now. Total is 18.5 @ 5/7 @ 365. Not a great price mind. Going to have a go at this treble. Hopefully won’t backfire as on two bets already.
Delanie Walker (Tenneesee Titans) Over 47.5 Receiving Yards
Rudi Gay (Sacramento Kings) Over 20.5 Points
DeAndre Jordan (LA Clippers) Over 12.5 Rebounds

—————————————
Two main bets landed so more than happy with that. Thought Olympiakos might struggle but they look in great shape along with CSKA.
Couldn’t find the same spreads so didn’t follow but good job Hunter.
Cheers Oriaz. Sorry, wass pretty late on posting and games were pretty tight so sounds like you done the right thing by leaving it.
Evening lads. I’m afraid I can’t offer much in tips here as my USA knowledge isn’t great but love watching the NBA and NFL and back you guys tips. Have made me some good money so keep up the good work
NCAA Basketball Single
Mississipi State have looked poor so far with 7 defeats from 9.
Miami on the other hand look in great form with a strong looking offence and defence. They’ve seen off better teams that Mississipi. Spread looks generous here and I fancy them to win by double digits.
Mississipi Bulldogs @ Miami Florida (22:00GMT)
Spread: Miami -9.5 @ 13/15 Betway – 1pt staked.
Good luck!
Price out slightly to 20/23. Another 0.5 pts on!!!
That one I can follow :D
Well that was easy money haha! i know it isn’t over yet but 23 points ahead! Great Tips there!
Long way to go bud, three 3-pointers and mississipi are back within the spread! Fingers crossed but looking good!
Yeah I know… as you say fingers crossed!! :)
Some value in the NCAAB:
– Indiana -12.0 @ $1.92
– Iowa -3.0 @ $1.90
Both 5 points singles
Surely RONDO can beat the +12.5? Or is he better for assists? Thoughts?
Mentioned this before mate. Would take his points over assists tonight as he won’t have Cousins to pass to.
Euroleague Basketball Single
Sassari last season weren’t a bad team at all but so far this season they’ve looked pretty sub-standard. In all five games they lost by 10 or more points. They are also underachieving in the Italian league.
Darussafaka have come into a bit of money recently and gave managed to put together a team which look like challanging for the Turkish league. In the Euroleague they have 3 wins and 2 losses and they will be desperate to record a result here which will set them in good stead for progressing through group D. Sassari are all but out and look demoralised. I think Darussafaka will win by at least 3 points.
Darussafaka @ Sassari (tomorrow)
Spread: Darussafaka -2.5 @ 4/5 Paddy Power – 2.5pts staked
Good luck!
Nfl Thursday
For me tennesee are the stronger team here despite the jags been favoured, at best there is not much between them, yes tennesee struggled last week against carolina but prior to that Morita blitzed the saints in a shoot out. For me that’s the most impressive win of either side. Tennesee will need Morita to lead them as no one runs on the jags which leads me to moriatas passing yards going over 250 if tennesee are going to play well they ain’t going run on the jags so need bit of qb magic like he produced against the saints amongst others. Neither team going run on the other and jags rb was stumbling round injured after last game so will struggle to surpass 65 yards against tennesee stout defence, no rb has done it recently so a banged up Yeadon should struggle too. 3 bets for tonight
yeldon under 66.5 yards rushing 5/6
Moriata over 250.5 passing yards 10/11
Tennesee +3 pts 10/11
Good luck guys
Don’t disagree with any of those mate. Getting my sick bowl ready. Those Jags uniforms look shocking!

Walked it and lebron fell 1 baaket short.. hate that
We should have kept the faith 4 sure
Gonna back it even if its 20 next time haha, unlucky mate with James. Hate that. Missed 1 of his 9 free throws too. Ouch. In other news. CP3 destroying the Warriors in the first quarter.

Rudy left the game halfway through the third with a shoulder strain and won’t return. 13 points. Never mind.
