THE British No.1 and No.2 are both in action at the Paris Masters today but only one of them is fancied to progress.
Andy Murray begins his trophy tilt against Croatian youngster Borna Corac who stunned the Scot with a straight-sets win in the Dubai Championships quarter-finals in February.
Murray is just 1-10 (Boylesports) to avenge that upset with a win and and 7-19 (Unibet) to triumph in straight sets while Coric is 33-4 at 10bet to make it back-to-back wins over the Scot.
British No.2 Aljaz Bedene will attempt to cut giant American John Isner down to size and is 33-10 at Marathonbet to do so against BetVictor's 2-7 favourite.
Rafa Nadal takes on a player he's had problems with in the past – Lukas Rosol – while other matches include Grigor Dimitrov against Marin Cilic and Kevin Anderson versus Dominic Thiem. My double bombed yesterday with two upsets so I'll be sticking to a watching brief today.
England's final cricket Test is finely poised with Pakistan on 146-3 in their second innings – 74 runs ahead – and Alastair Cook's men are slight favourites at 5-4 with Paddy Power. Pakistan are available at 6-4 with winner while the draw pays 4-1 at Paddy Power.
There's also a packed NBA card to take us through the night so let's hear all your sporting tips and chat and good luck with your bets.

Eurocup Basketball
No NBA for me last night so had some time to research Eurocup and get this post up early….
Neptunas @ Nizhny Nozgorod (4pm)
HT/FT: Nozgorod
Charleroi @ Nancy (7pm)
HT/FT: Nancy
Galatasaray @ Krasny Oktyabr (4:30pm)
Total Points: Under 172
PAOK @ Avtodor (2pm)
1st Half Spread: Avtodor -7
Quad @ 47/10 William Hill – 1pt staked
Good luck if you follow!
I can’t get the under 172 (currently maxed at 168.5) or half time spread on Bet365. You reckon that ht/ft double should be safe Hunter at poorer odds?
168.5 still seems high though! Which ht/FT you referring too? My favoured is the Nozgorod one… slightly!!
I can get both ht/ft tips in a double and could add the under 168.5 to it. What do you think?
To add the 168.5 or to not add the 168.5…that is the question.
Btw guys, just a heads up on the Slovakian Cup today in the football world. Trencin and Slovan Bratislava play lower league opponents. Ive went over 2.5 goals in both games which should hopefully be covered quite easily. GL if you follow
@Hunter, I don’t have HT/FT market for these matches but can take the following (odds are not as good tho) :
– Avtodor -7.5 HT @ 1.85
– Galatasaray Under 172.5 @ 1.25
– Novgorod -1.5 HT @ 1.30
– Nancy HT @ 1.37
Total @ 4.15
What ya think?
William Hill have pulled their HT/FT markets…think PP have them at lesser odds?
Oriaz, looks good…the only banana skin I can see is Avtador but PAOK a shocking on the road and equally shocking in 1st half of games!
Merv, going by recent games those unders still look OK. You’re call bud!
@Hunter, if I’m taking the same banana skin as you are then I have no problem with it :D just don’t want to place a riskier bet than the one you posted.
@Merv, just to be sure, you’re suggesting a double:
– Kubin vs Trencin over 2.5 mg
– Slovan Bratislava vs Phronie over 2.5 mg
@ 1.65 (or better)
Markets back on Willy Hill. Through oddsch esker! :)
@Oriaz – I’ve taken over 2.5 in both games double at about 1.78 I think on Bet365. This is the cup so anything can happen but Trencin and Slovan are THE dominant teams in Slovakian football. If both teams show up, they’re more than capable of covering 2.5 goals on their own. Combined, Trencin and Slovan have scored 66 goals between them in a combined 30 games in the league. Taken into account these are lower league teams, I’m reasonably confident on these. It’s your call but GL if you follow mate
@Merv, thx for the reply, I added Hawks ML just to get above evens as my odds aren’t as good as yours.
Any thoughts on Nadal v Rosol today? Maybe over 21.5 games?
Definitely a better card on the NBA, and hoping to find some more winners after last night’s flop.
For my first bet tonight:
Celtics -2 Spread @ 1.90 – 1 point.
2nd bet I’m liking the look of Huggy’s Cavs HT/FT tip, so will look to double that up with something later.
Good luck everyone!
Spurs +4
Cavs -1.5
OKC -1.5 – pays EVENS on B365
Any thoughts on the chances of this coming in from the Basketball crew???
Leg 1 up Oriaz! Trencin leading 2-1 at half time!
Lol Huggy ‘That east conference sucks..’
Next bet. Two East teams to be winning at HT/FT :)
Good luck gents
ha ha , didn`t evem think of that..
i do put cavs above the East mediocrity though, and at present the nets suck and hawks are inform and should be good enough to put nets away home court.
but having said that IT DID MAKE ME CHUCKLE…

The dreaded early tip off sinks my bet! Sorry lads, PAOK decided to show up today.
Gonna look into seeing if it’s worth re-backing the Treble.

Bets 14 (8-0-6)
Points Staked: 17.1
Profit/Loss: +12.70
Typical…Avtodor 14 up now Eary second half!
Too many market changes to reback the remaining fixtures. However, I do fancy a single in the Baltic League at 4pm. If this doesn’t land I’m done for the day!
Nevezis should be bit tired for this match, coming of the the back of losing yesterday against Tallina by 8 points after a very tough game and travelling and playing twice in a row in b2n matches, should be too much for them.
The hosts are just decent team and they will probable take advantage. Rapla is 2-1 in this group and with more rest days they are a good shout in my book!
Baltic Basketball
Nevezis @ Rapla
Points Spread: Rapla -6.5
10/11 @ Stan James – 2pts staked
@Hunter, is that HT spread ? I have it at -8.5 @ 10/11, worth backing it ? Full time spread is at -15.5 @ 10/11.
The mental weekness of some tennis players makes me seriously question how they were ever gifted the opportunity to be one a professional and grace the courts on the tour circuit with the best players in the world. Lukas rosol has clearly got a lot of ability but put him on the court with an ex great like nadal and he falls apart a like a little boy who’s lost his mummy in the supermarket! Amazing!

Unlucky on the Eurocup Hunter. I’m sure given you’re recent incredible record that no one will hold it against you. I’m not a massive fan of basketball overs/unders so I ended up taking the Nizhny/Nancy HT/FT double.
Oriaz…Stan James had the full match at -6.5. Maybe a mistake on their part. No email as yet! If it is and it lands, it will be discounted on my totals.
Merv, cheers bud, just frustrating given the end result! Good luck with your double.
@Hunter, looks like you got a good spread then, GL. I didn’t take it considering the différence.
Lopez or Troicki lads?
@Hunter…what do you think of Unics Kazan HT/FT against Buducnost?
Tempted to take my first solo step in Eurocup basketball with a Unics Kazan/Bilbao HT/FT double. What do you think Hunter?
Lopez to win against Troicki…
0.87 on B.V
2nd bet I’m on tonight is
Cavs HT/FT & Warriors ML @ 2.03 – 2 points.
Confident on this one so fingers crossed.
Good luck everyone!
Lopez is a r…rd who loses 2 serve games in a row .Might even lose the 2nd set.
LOpez lost 2 breaks in the 2nd set.Lost 1 break in the 3rd set.No resilience whatsoever.
(Mr. Fixit please remove previous post, thank you)
Gonna try to reduce de losses tonight:
6-fold @ 7.60 – 1pt
– Hawks HT/FT
– Cavs HT/FT
– GSW -2.5
– OKC -1.5
– Bucks ML
– Spurs ML
Ladbrokes giving Johnny Manziels pass total @ 180.5 yards. That is one big dig at Mr Manziel haha
Clippers will beat the Warriors. They hate them.
Not sure that’s enough of a reason to say they will win Victor?
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..LOST
Should of just stick to my write up of Memphis and Orlando.
NBA
* CHI Bulls + 4
DAL Mavericks + 9
DET Pistons + 3
**LOSE**
Yep that is officially the worst bet I have ever backed
Victor I don’t know enough about basketball to say your wrong . However Liverpool hate man united doesn’t mean we always beat them Portsmouth hate Southampton but can’t see Pompey beating them at the minute so I am not so sure hatred wins matches in my opinion
NBA
* PHX Suns ML
SA Spurs + 4
ATL Hawks ML
Treble @ EVS
I’ve put way too much effort into this one for it lose, I highly doubt we will see a replay of last nights results too , here’s hoping anyway
Good luck gents
Tyler lol! I thought the ML double was safe but your bet makes me look a tad better.
Lol Jordan its shocking , confident tonight though we should see a lot of winners posted Tomorow , theres a lot of bets I like look of from everyone
Amsterdam for me tomorow :/
Good luck over the next few days
Quite surprised I’m the only one showing love for the Warriors and Thunder tonight. Raptors on back to back road games with the Thunder on rest. Warriors at home, lose? You wouldn’t think so. Yes the Clippers have a great starting 5, but when the bench comes in they struggle. Probably no better bench than the Warriors. Something some might not look into in basketball betting but I think its one of the most important factors. A bit misleading mind as the best bench in the NBA is currently the Knicks haha
Spurs/GSW Moneyline double 1.02/1 @ Bet365, Good luck ‘NBA-ers’
Oh a couple lads have posted a few Warrior bets but no Thunder love. The best pairing in the league. FACT!
Orlando are playing some good stuff for a young team..full of energy hope it keeps up tonight.
Orlando+ 10
Cleveland Cavs ML
Evens bet365
The bench is definetely something I look at mate , especially at this early stage , coaches try new things out , perfect example the Cavs against the 6ers , I don’t think I’ve ever seen a court of players so out of position , experimentation is done at this stage and less risks are taken later on when there’s a clear playoff picture ,
The big boys need rest for when it matters
Jordan my minds telling me warriors will win but for some reason I’ve come to terms that i have a soft spot for the clippers lol the fact is warriors almost never lose at oracle
Fully agree there mate. Enjoy dam. Rip a fat one for me.
I don’t have a soft spot for the Clippers but I do like Griffin as a player. not as much as I like the Warriors though. Trouble with being relatively new to the sport. Don’t have a grudge against anyone. If the Warriors knock OKC out of the playoffs I might change my mind ;)
NBA Bets For Tonight
Skybet Enhanced Acca @ 11/4 (£8)
San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Oklahoma City Thunder & Houston Rockets all to win
Lowest Scoring Match @ 10/1 (£1)
Washington Wizards v San Antonio Spurs
Lol I will do
With the clippers bench too I’ve been reading that they have improved this season but from what I have seen that’s not the case , I’ve watched all the clippers games this season and docs been putting them out a lot but he’s been keeping them on court along with Deandre so I don’t see how that means the bench is improving when the best defensive player in the league is alongside them they were not doing that last season, highly doubt he will be doing that tonight that bench can’t make any stops wich means trouble
Doesn’t matter who you’ve got on defense when Curry is pulling up from 40ft haha
Spurs 0.75 plus warriors half time and full time.0.533
6/4 Good night and good luck gents.
Anybody ever worried on big leads in the NBA? Spurs were just down 19-2 in the first quarter. Just won the first quarter 23-22
Yeh not just the shots from downtown either , I love how he has been getting inside the arc more too , everyone expecting the shot then a cut inside and before u know it Hes put one in off the glass. He’s just on a different level atm mate brilliant to watch
Knicks second unit turning up again , still early days though
Thunder Bulls a pick em tomorow
Anyone see Cavs leading before HT?
Looks unlikely with who they have on the court atm
Looking bit better now, down by 7
Yeh love and Lebron back in now , I didn’t back it myself but I know a lot of u guys did so fingers crossed , couple deep shots will do
Lol – worried about Cavs catching up, in the meantime Hawks threw lead away. Useless
Clippers struggled at home to beat the Suns 2 days ago so I don’t think GSW will have much of an issue today. Won’t be a blow-out but should be comfortable
This is more of a interest for tomorrows game as I’ve got the Bengals in the main bets over the weekend.
The Cleveland Browns will be in Cincinnati for their first division square off this season. Dubbed The Battle of Ohio, Johnny Manziel will be the starting QB for the Browns and despite thinking he might put up some good numbers with DE Carlos Dunlap out for the Bengals who leads the teams is sacks. There are literally no markets available for any Cleveland WR’s or TE Gary Barnidge at the time of writing this, but putting trust in Johnny Football is probably not something I’d be inclined to do anyway. The Browns will also be travelling with a depleted secondary. Joe Haden is one of the best DB’s in the league and will miss the game due to concussion, as will SS Donte Whitner, and DB Jordan Poyer. Haden and Whitner are both 1st string with Poyer back up to FS Tashaun Gipson who has had a niggling ankle injury but is expected to play.
The Browns led the Cardinals on Sunday by 10 points at the half but once more had a second half to forget, not managing to get a point on the board, with the Cards coming back to score 24 points and win 34-20, with Carson Palmer totaling 374 yards with 4TD’s.
The Bengals will be looking to go 8-0 for the first time in franchise history and would love to do it against their bitter Brown rivals. AJ Green was targeted 17 times last week in Pittsburgh but they were fighting for the win. He ended up with 118 yards and a TD and leads the team in yards, targets, receptions, longest reception, yards after catch and first downs. With the Browns depleted secondary I think Green will get his fair share of the looks, but I’m going to be with somebody who I feel has a bit of value here despite the Browns not giving much to TE’s on the season.
TE Tyler Eifert has been Andy Daltons next best man to throw to this year. With numbers putting him in the upper ranks of TE’s on the season. He has had a bit of inconsistency during his last two games on the road but has produced this total in every home game this season and leads the team in TDs and second in most receiving ares behind Green. I personally think that you could pick, Green, Eifert or Jones to cover their line, but with Sanu sneaking in the snaps you’re not sure which one will have the bigger game. Marvin Jones is their real deep threat and could probably cover his line with one deep pass @ 50.5 @ WillHill, but I’ll be on Eifert who is a key man on any down and Daltons current safety blanket.
Thursday Night Football – 1:25AM
Tyler Eifert (Bengals) Over 48.5 Receiving Yards @ 10/11 @ WillHill – 2.2 points
Are you effing kidding me? In the time it took to type that write up I missed the 4th quarter and didn’t even realise the Thunder had a meltdown. Just checked ESPN. Up 97-91 with two minutes to go and they lose 103-98. NBA can do one one for a few days!
Oklahoma City Thunder -2
Golden State Warriors -2.5
