STAN WAWRINKA has lost his last two matches amid some flaky form and faces a dangerous opponent today in his Paris Masters opener against Bernard Tomic.
World No.4 Wawrinka starts as 4-9 favourite at Betfair while Aussie No.1 Tomic – who won their only previous meeting – is wildly inconsistent but can cause the best players problems on his day and is a 43-19 shot at Marathonbet.
Jack Sock and Ivo Karlovic should make it past Viktor Troicki and French qualifier Edouard Roger-Vasselin respectively and I'll be on that double at evens with bwin.
England's cricket team are in a strong position at 222-4 – just 12 runs behind Pakistan – heading into day three of the final Test and are now in to 2-5 for victory at Paddy Power who make Pakistan 4-1 and the draw 9-2.
There's also Stateside sport on the go throughout the night so post all your sporting tips and thoughts here and good luck with your bets.

Nice little profit to wake up to from the hoops.
Unfortunately Carolina beat the Colts in OT so that was 5 of the 6 teams from the NFL main bets on the weekend winning with the loss from Atlanta in OT. Bit gutted as that was the difference of an extra sixteen points profit.
Luck, Stewart and Newton all got their rush yards which was another sad sight to see as those were the bets I flagged up. At least I’m doing something right.
Still, the form setting in for NBA teams now. Well done to the winners.
Nice one Jordan, GSW was close lol
I know mate, could have risked a bit more handicap haha
Thanks for the NAP Huggy! Can’t beat waking up to winnings in your account.
Jordans bet and Huggys NAP both win – thanks lads!
Superb tipping again lads! Well done to all the winners.
Lettuce Underdog Handicap Treble

GL All
It’s the first time in NFL history that 4 teams have started 7-0.
This might be quite a rash decision considering the Falcons lost the weekends bets, but I have just seen that the 49ers will be benching Colin Kaepernick this weekend and starting Blaine Gabbert who is 5-23 as a starter in his career. The 49ers also traded their veteran Tight End Vernon Davis to Denver yesterday. Carlos Hyde also missed the game is Sundays loss to the Rams with Reggie Bush picking up an injury which will end his season, with Jarryd Hayne being resigned yesterday after being released on Saturday.
If the Falcons can limit the turnovers this week they should be able to put up too many points with their offense for this to even be close.
Atlanta Falcons -4 @ 10/11 @ Skybet – 3.3 points
Bucks ML @ 1.83 – 0.6 pts. – Won :)
Timberwolves -2 1st Half Spread @ 1.90 – 2 points. – Lost :(
Was quite unlucky with the Timberwolves bet, as they had a 13 point lead after the 1st Q, but had a poor 2nd Q and finished the half 53-53.
Lucky my Bucks bet came in for damage limitation!
Some really good tips on here yesterday, keep up the good work!
On to tonight….
New to this, fair play Jordan, Huggy on Nba tips, added the cardinals to Huggy’s bet, both won me some cash! Great tipping lads!
Well done on the NBA Jordan & thanks!!
huggy`s single SPURS ML / WARRIORS HT/FT DOUBLE 1.16/1 *NAP* WINNER !!!
adding cavs over 103.5 2.63/1 smaller bet WINNER !!!
PROP FUNBET
Marc Gasol over 7.5 boards ( see them defending some big shots ) WINNER !!!
(Gravelines -7.5 won by 20 WINNER !!!)
***ITS A FULL HOUSE*** also added Gasol to my treble but didn`t post so no credit taken there.
VERY RARELY will i ever post a NAP , 1st time in a while i did , thought that was a gimmee and so it proved with Warriors going mental.
Jay said i liked your picks , knew you had winners all over the place.
Hope we all made some money on the bball , remember new guys , marathon not a sprint.
Post my thoughts in a bit.
WELL DONE GUYS , AGAIN !!! ( 9 FROM 9 FROM ME )
Jordan absolutely superb mate . Great work cheers . I saw the first 3 come in but couldn’t stay awake any longer missed the end of NFL as well will need to check the highlights can’t believe the final score in that after watching first 3 quarters
NFL
Indianapolis Colts @ Carolina Panthers
* Under 5.5 Total Touchdowns @ 3/4 **WON**
Flood warnings in Charlotte tonight means we should se some rain during this game so im not expecting too many deep balls downfield. Weather is not just a factor for me in this one Luck is not throwing well atm and his favorite target TY Hilton is Goin to be blanketed by Josh Norman who is in the top 5 CB in the league in my opinion. The Panthers are not exactly high scorers themselves and games in Charlotte are usually low scoring affairs. 6 TD just seems a lot to ask for
Good work also huggy and the rest of the winners
NFL
Indianapolis Colts @ Carolina Panthers
* Under 5.5 Total Touchdowns @ 3/4 **WON**
Good work on the hoops gents

DET Pistons + 3
CHI Bulls + 4.5
Treble @ EVS
Jordan, Huggy, take a bow guys. Seriously.
I had a good look at the card yesterday and really thought I covered every option, thought only took a risk with the Timberwolves and it didn’t pay.
But you guys… Jordan by taking overs in Thunder/Rockets covered the fact that The Beard might wake up (and so he did), by taking the team points in the Cavs it covered the fact that they might not give a sh*t to have 20+ points before the end of the 4th quarter and just let the Sixers come back to -7.
Huggy, there’s not much to say, you know your stuff and waking to a full house is a very nice way to start the day.
Basicly just saying thx cause you guys are covering my selections when they don’t turn up while I’m having a huge amount of fun and still making profit!
Mention to Shotty who had some discreet winners including last night. Ofc not for getting Picksix, Lettuce, Hunter and others.

Going for a nice and simple double for tonights NBA
GSW -4.5
Clippers -4.5
Pays evens
**WON**
Clippers game was closer than I thought but nice to see the points on our side every once in a while!
Nba has been smashed by everyone so far well done all!
TONIGHTS EARLY THOUGHTS.
heat -4 h2 hawks
pelicans -3 h2 magic
pistons -5.5 h2 pacers
kings +5 h2 grizzlies
hassan whiteside over 11.5 points
leaning towards Miami , what we thinking guys ?
Think ‘England draw no bet’ in-play in the cricket looks good at 6/5. Really can’t see them losing although they need wickets soon
tiny inplay funbet , bayi women 1st quarter -2.5 , beijing women -9.5 double , £5 add liaoning -21.5 and shandong women £2 acca
note to self, stick nba you MUG LOL
You can get Pakistan to win at just over evens now. England minus Stokes who can’t bat or bowl and batting last on this wicket will be tough! Can’t see this game ending in a draw either so Pakistan to win looks a great shout.
Huggy noticed Bauru your boys from Brazil were playing last night ,think it was the first game of the season,
Last bet b4 nba . Pakistan 6/4
Post my bet later on the nba , be interested to see what hunter j and picksix go for..
Yeah noticed late.. good job they through a big lead…
What u fancy later ?
cleveland -6.5 HT spread @ 20/23*lost*
and a fairly ‘safe’ treble:
OKC +7.5
GSW -0.5
Clippers ML
0.90/1 *won*
i think knicks will tire later, benches will make the difference
in play spurs -5.5 evens *won*
well done again tonight guy’s
tonight Bulls -3.5 @ 20/23
Ivo karlovic is a piece of s… poor start to the day
Agreed humble tipper!
Yep, awful from Karlovic. A break up at 4-3 in the third set and the big numpty still managed to lose it.
Andy that’s me done with tennis unless it’s djokovic playing
I like miami as you’ve mentioned mate, pistons is another I like , I think kings are without cousins so that may be one to avoid , should be a good night
100% sure sock will win now the tall plank has let down the double scott
***Posted Yesterday***

A quick shout out to Jordan / Huggy, and anyone I’ve missed! top stuff on the NBA Lads. Also, thanks to Mlac, went with your ‘safe’ bet which covered my 1pt loss.
At first look I’m liking Pistons +1.5 and Bulls +1.5 (at just above evens).
huggy`s single for tonight (allbeit a double)
pistons ml + bulls ml @ 1.35/1 pp
adding hassan whiteside over 11.5 points 3.31/1 pp (small bet)

@Evens.
good luck guys, @ hunter your euro double is looking good bud,saw it just too late, will be on next time!
Montreal Canadiens to win 21/20
I’m also on the Huggy and Jordan ML Double, was originally looking at Bulls and Pelicans ML.. But I’ll take Pistons instead, good luck guys!
Might have a look at placing 1 more, when I’ve got more time.
If I had a prop Huggy I’d say Andre Drummond Over 15.5 Rebounds @ 5/6 @ PP but I’m only gonna take the double.
Tyler I’ve just had an email from 888 on that market we were talking about the other night.
“e.For settlement purposes, betting on rounds or groups of rounds refers to a fighter to win by KO (Knockout), TKO (Technical Knockout), or disqualification during that round or group of rounds. If for any reason, a points decision is awarded before the full number of scheduled rounds is completed, or a boxer is disqualified, bets will be settled on the round in which the fight was stopped. Bets which nominate ‘to win on points’ will only be deemed winners if the full number of rounds is completed.
So for a bet on under 0.5 Total Rounds to win, there must be a knockout, technical knockout or disqualification, before the bell in the first round.”
In that case I think that bet has a very good chance.
Saturday 14th November – 4:00AM
UFC
Ronda Rousey vs Holly Holm
Total Rounds Under 0.5 @ 8/5 @ 888 – 5 points
This is likely an error that they might not have caught on to as Rousey to win in the first round is 4/11 at best, 6/1 in round two and 12/1 in round three. You could even take the bet with 888 and cover it with round two and three @ WillHill (providing she wins of course).
Ronda Rousey will face Holly Holm on the 14th of November. Rousey has fought 6 times in the UFC with 5 of those fights ending in the first round. Her last 4 fights have totaled 1 minute and 5 seconds. Basically there is nobody in the league of this woman who could probably make most men cry. Holly Holm is undefeated 9-0 (only 2 of those in the UFC) but has fought a bunch of nobodies in her time. Rousey excels in every aspect of the game and I’m not sure there is anybody out there who will ever dethrone her, but this is a crazy sport. Holm ranks only 7th in the womens class and shes getting a shot at the champ after two fights with women ranked 11th and 12th? This is because Rousey has already taken out the best of this class has to offer and that should continue with considerate ease.
Going for another double tonight on the NBA
Bulls and Grizzlies money line just over evens
Jordan that’s good to hear mate , that’s what all total rounds betting should be interpreted as , did you notice me and Mlac posted different answers He might be using paddys for instance who go by that minute rule ,Different bookmakers interpret that bet in different ways , ladbrokes, skybet, bet365 are the bodies I use for total rounds and they do it the same way as 888 have stated in that email. Paddy Power and boylesports for instance go by the half minute rule wich is not something I like. It’s the reason I asked you to double check mate as you would be pi*sd off thinking you’re bet had won when it had not as it has happened to me
This was part of an email what I got sent from paddy power when I complained about my bet not being settled as a winner on a total round market
*
Where a contest finishes before the scheduled number of rounds due to an accidental injury and the winner is not determined by the judges scorecards, all bets will be void, unless the result has already been determined.
For Total Rounds settlement purposes where half a round is stated then 1 minute 30 seconds of the following round will define the ‘half’ to determine under or over. For example for Over 10.5 rounds to be a winner, the fight must go over 1 minute 30 seconds of round 11. If the number of rounds for a fight is changed after this market has been set then all bets will be void. *
It’s a silly rule and I actually took that bet to IBAS who deal with that stuff. More or less they told me they are in there right to use that rule by the minute even though the majority go by the total round. An example is tennis for instance where there are different rules regarding players being injured.
Anyway my UFC knowlege is limited but even I can tell that is a cracking bet looks a steal mate
The bet I posted this morning on the Falcons -4 are now out to -7 in places. Broncos -3.5 also a good bet this weekend. Finally have their run game going and Peyton looked like Benjamin Button against the Packers. Colts with a tough loss in OT in the pouring rain against a good defense last night, he comes up against an even better one this week. Will wait for the injury reports tonight.
@jordan, definitely worth a punt m8, so she will have to finish holm in the first 2 minutes and 29 seconds.
completely forgot there is a stacked boxing card tomorrow! i will do a write up later.
fun acca:
bulls -4.5
Raptors ML
Lakers +9.5
Eduard Troyanovsky (boxing)
Valencia Double chance (football)
12/1
@value heads
Rocky fielding is 3/1 to win at the weekend
bookies have this very wrong, its a 50/50 fight between 2 unbeaten rising prospects with smith have a very slight edge based on previous opposition.
Mlac no mate it is any stoppage in the first round.
beg my pard’
we both know there is only one women getting finished in this tho mate :D
**Get the nasty stuff out the way first….Posted yesterday**
NBA Basketball Double
No problem Oriaz, glad you got on considering the late post!
Been stung a couple of times with the totals so staying clear of them for the moment. Two picks purely based on form…
OKC Thunder @ Houston – Points Spread: OKC -3.5
Cavs @ 76ers – Points Spread: Cavs -13
Double @ 27/10 Sport Bet – 1pt staked **LOST**
Prob end up kicking myself for not going with the Warriors spread!?!
———————————-
I said I’d kicking myself for not going with the Warriors spread instead, what a team!!
Cavs looked mediocre when King James was hooked in the 4th after hitting his 25k points milestone. On a side note, sixers have a couple of decent rookies in their squad…one’s to watch out for in the near future (props bets).
Again well done to all NBA winners.
———————————
Week 2
Bets 12 (7-0-5)
Points Staked: 15.1
Profit/Loss: +11.10

Points Spread: Lietkabelis -8.5
Lee Mans @ Reggio Emilia (6:30pm)
HT/FT: Reggio Emilia
Double @ 13/5 William Hill – 1pt staked **WINNER**
Good luck if you follow!
——————————–
Lietkabelis made the spread look silly winning by an impressive 28 points and Reggio doing the HT/FT after finally finding their range late on in the 2nd Q.
That’s 7 from 7 in Eurobball, praying my luck holds out a little longer!

@Jordan, I can still get Falcons -6 @ 10/11, still worth taking? Or better to wait and take a lower spread and doubling it with Broncos ML?
And cheers for Coventry +1,5 tg !
Oriaz I’m waiting for a bit. No worries though. Danny she’d kill you haha
Jordan would be a good a way as any to go though ;-)
Gents, dipped into the NBA last night for the 1st time after seeing some of your great tips on here and had a blaze. Seems some of you are well clued up on the sport so ill be following again tonight! Are we thinking that the Bulls may be the safest option for tonight??
I think the Grizzlies will be Mad after last night’s thrashing and Kings may have De Marcus Cousins out.
I also here Orlando are a team for the future with some young potentials on there Roster..I think they can cover a few spreads and have kept some good teams close so far.
Here’s Hoping.
Lettuce 5 fold
Orlando Magic +12
Memphis Grizzlies -2
Dallas Mavericks +9
Miami Heat +4
Detroit Pistons ML
4/1 bet365
Good Luck All
Congrats also to the usual suspects on regular winners …’keep winning’
Bulls ML, Heat ML, Pelicans ML, Nuggets +7, Pacers +9. @ 6/1
Thinking to go for a fun bet tonight
Montreal over 7.5
Calgary over 7.5
New England Patriots -6.5 – Sunday – 6:00PM

Lakers/Nuggets Over 203.5
Chicago hit 38% shooting lastnight and the hornets cant score for toffee. Im going unders
Hornets under 95.5 @4/5
Bulls under 98.5 @20/23
total unders is 194.5 @5/6
Just seen the Bulls score. Errrrm pass. I reckon we have a loser already.
Bulls collapsing means we might have lost before we started.
Bulls , doh !!! Bulls**t…
Pulled it back a bit in that second quarter. Hopefully they carry that on in the second half.
Pacers score 20 points before Pistons get on the board in 2nd quarter
Hornets look strong this season.
Who was it that said Hornets cant score? Wow.
(i picked a bad day to get back into the NBA, lol)
They’ve lost their first three games they don’t look strong at all haha, feel sorry for the guy that picked the three under bets.
NBA 4th October
Chicago Bulls ML – 12:00AM
Detroit Pistons ML – 12:30AM
1.31/1 @ 365 – 1 point **LOST BY A MILE**
Drummond on 12 boards so I’d be surprised if that didn’t come in.
West is best!
another ‘safe’ treble/4 fold:
Bulls +6.5
Pistons +5.5
Raptors +11.5
0.90 *lose*
painful to watch, almost seemed like bull’s didn’t want to win…stupidly lumped on the ‘safe’ treble
that’s me done until the weekend, don’t wanna start chasing losses…
San Jose Sharks ML
Memphis Grizzlies ML
Lakers/Nuggets OVER 199.5
TREBLE pays $3.50
I for one am going to chase losses today – but i do think these 3 legs all have a good chance – Grizzlies to make amends for yesterday, Sharks are playing worst team in NHL atm & Lakers home games usually go high + nuggets can shoot well
Bulls and Pistons both brought back down to earth today…
Still cant believe Bulls got rid of coach Thibedeu. Best defensive coach in the league and now he’s gone so has their defense.
I hope we didn’t lose a lot tonight
We move on
Tomorrow
Nope 1 point Ado. Flagged up Drummond as my prop but didn’t take it. Almost doubled his total too. Ridiculous.
