THE WGC-HSBC Champions event tees off in Shanghai this morning and there's a star-studded field vying for the prize.
Our resident golf expert Ace Venturer has picked out his top tips as the Race to Dubai Finals Series reaches the halfway stage.
On the USPGA Tour, Nick Watney is favourite and available at 28-1 with Betfair for the Sanderson Farms Championship which gets under way in Mississippi tonight.
On the snooker front it's the final day of group action at the Champion of Champions. Neil Robertson takes on Ali Carter and Ricky Walden faces Mark Allen, with the winners then doing battle for the last remaining semi-final spot.
Defending champ Ronnie O'Sullivan looks good to retain his title as he demolished Marco Fu yesterday to join Judd Trump and Ding Junhui in the last four.
There's also India (8-15, various) v Sri Lanka (28-17, 888 sport) in the second cricket ODI as well as Challenger Tour tennis and NFL action between Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.
Here's a reminder of Ace's tips and I see that Mr Fixit is going for Martin Kaymer at 22-1 (various) in Shanghai. The German won over the course three years ago and holds the course record of 62. Crucially Kaymer also says he loves the track.

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals
Friday 1:30am
Cincinnati Bengals Over 25 points 10/11 Skybet
I’m gonna go with your nfl tip tonight, Johnb.
Yesterday I went with DeAndre NBA tips but I put the 5 teams on five 4fold accas, and only the Nets lost, so I got my money back with that.
Good luck and thank you for the tips guys ;)
TNf Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns.
Mohamed Sanu Anytime TD @ EVS. This guy has made some big plays in the past few weeks. 400 yards in his last four games with two TD’s. Tempted on the AJ Green Wincast @ 6/4 too. Think the Bengals will cover the spread, Browns barely scrapped their victory on Sunday against Tampa Bay. I’m guessing a 31-17 Bengals win.
Player totals are up.
Taking Mohamed Sanu over 75.5 receiving yards @ 10/11. Really stepped up his game when AJ Green was out with injury and I think Dalton knows he can count on Sanu long down the field.
Those are my main bets and I’m taking a smaller stake on the Bengals & over 44.5 total points @ 17/10.
Glad you won Kevka, I had the Nets as the only loser in an 8-fold last night…gutted as I was absofrigginlutely positive they would get the W.
Jordan, thinking about putting my car on the AJ Wincast :-D
As long as its not a Ferreri or Lambo DeAndre I think it’s a safe bet haha
Ferrari* Doh. I’m just taking Sanu just because of the way he was dominating in receiving yards when Green was out but it will probably balance out a bit more now they’re both in. Can see them both scoring tho for sure!
Hamilton to win sports personality award at 6/1 ???? Rory1/8 on !, if Hamilton wins next two races and wins championship who would be fav then
I’m sure a certain someone will be backing that anytime TD double :-)
I was thinking that myself! Where is Mr WN!?
Do you reckon Rory two majors is better than Hamiltoni drivers championship? Massive price 6/1
Personally Eddie I wouldn’t touch either mate. How are the votes casted? Public? Other sports people? At the end of the day, its what sport is there more fans of, that will actually go online and vote. Personally I’d pick Hamilton as driving at nearly 200mph every weekend is a bit more skill to it then Golf, take nothing away from Golf being technical tho.
Personally scared to touch the Browns vs Bengals with an outright winner, really undecided on which team will turn it up, if the Browns pressure Dalton and the play action game runs efficiently as it can be under Hoyer expect the Browns to be this one out of the bag.
However if AJ green bag in the mix and the Bengals needing a statement win especially at home I’m going to take them at – 9 this evening.
If anyone remembered from last year I also had fair success with the old Ice Hockey so tonight I’ll start posting tips again.
Boston Bruins it’s the basics really I expect them to win majority of the time, I’d like to point out that we’re also 8-0-1 against the Oilers since 1996 at the garden that won’t changed tonight.
-1.5 take it.
Next is the Penguins they’re flying high and the Winnipeg are going to have to play a total 60 minutes to pull out the stops her, unlikely this Penguins team possess way to much talent i’m expecting another -1.5 here as well tonight.
Now onto Basketball I was hoping Deandre would’ve shed some light already if he hasn’t sir you’ve been summoned lol.
I’m liking the Rockets at -3 not great odds but factor in I’ll be running a four fold with the tips posted, I’ve been hearing Spurs aren’t finishing games or playing too well at the moment which in turn hopefully means the Rockets can pull this one out as both are without doubt great teams.
Hya Harlee it’s good to see some Hockey tips again lets hope for some success good luck mate!!!

Valuable info there JW. If Houston go all in with Harden and Howard they’ll destroy the Spurs.
Harlee, you might be right about TNF, but I watched the Browns play Sunday and it was horrible. Only 22 points against the Buccs at home? I’m on the Bengals.
gone for ellis on the unders tonight
Ticketyboo, agreed. If you don’t want to follow the handicap I’m at around 99% sure that Bruins and Penguins to win outright will come in, might night return as much but as a double can be a nice easy banker.
Jordan, I fully agree with you. Problem is both these teams have been un-even and inconsistent, the only team the Bengals have blown out was the Titans this year the rest has been a roller-coaster, at least with my Patriots every win near enough tends to be a good 7+ points.
For my four fold sake tonight though, I’m hoping the Browns lay an egg and the Bengals give a dominate performance in primetime, national audience means the Bengals with a blow out win could start cementing and building fear into opponents.
I too agree that they are somewhat inconsistent but they have the players that can make the difference under the Thursday night lights. I tend to go for prop bets on the single game nights anyway and I’m confident enough to think Green and Sanu will score and Sanu get his yards. Some of the catches he’s made have been huge. I’m just glad NFL is back on after a profitable day on the ‘real’ football :)
Nfl Thursday night
Hey Jordan glad to see you been doing well on the football betting Fred did a nice 4/1 treble on early games that matched mr f tips so that gave me little win but there are enough good tipsters on there without my 2 pence worth but glad to see u doing well. Mr deandre aj green is back and the wincast is very tempting esp as he has habit of breaking off a 70 yard td. I expect cincinatti to win but expecting a close one as not much between these 2 teams and one thing that will keep the game tight is terrance west who was great last week once he came off sidelines and he will continue to do well against what is a pretty lousy cinci stop unit. Hoyer is by no means best qb on pitch never mind league but he should get time in pocket to keep Cleveland honest and between them I think Cleveland will keep within the 6pts.
On cincinatti offense I seen sanu tipped up and he has been great without a j and now a j is back he should do even better. Think this could be first time I ever tipped one team to keep within the handicap but taken opposite wincast as I expect a 24-21 result
Tips a j green wincast 6/4
Cleveland + 6 10/11
Sanu anytime scorer 10/11
Terrance west anytime 9/5
Trust me Sundays games are a lot easier than tonights games and the vikes get the week off to plot their sneak into the playoffs well I can dream. Good luck guys
Good man Mr Cunliffe and thank you for your kind words! Yeah had a good couple of days which is surprising considering it was in Europe. Wish you the best of luck as we’re on the same page here. Not gone for the handicap but I do like the Bengals and overs and a TD for Green and Sanu would be more than welcome. Even better a 76 yard TD for Sanu haha
Looks a cooooold night in Cincinnati!
Luckily numerous people have mentioned my tips, Sanu anytime and Jeremy Hill rushing yards…
I have spare change on a little bet for myself… might as well when you have a man who ran for 154 yards and 2 tds against the 30th ranked rush defense…
Bengals to WIN EVERY quarter @ 14/1.
Assuming I have that right I just have to pretend each qtr is a match in itself… anyways it’s just for a small bit of fun! Bit of spare change off profit from my football win earlier. Have fun!
Finchy you are correct. Quite like the Bengals to score in all quarters @ 2/1 but I’m just being greedy haha
Infact, going to add this tip…
Jeremy Hill to score 2+ touchdowns @ 7/2 with bet365.
NFL TNF
The battle of Ohio could come down to the rushing game. Hill could be in for a big night tonight, whilst Gabriel could take advantage of a beat up secondary if Hoyer can get the ball to him.
Prop Bets
HILL O83.5yds 5/6 PADDY POWER
GABRIEL O50.5yds 5/6 PADDY POWER
Anytime scorer
GABRIEL 11/4 WILLIAM HILL
A J GREEN 10/11 WILLIAM HILL
Longshot scorer
CROWELL TO SCORE 4/1 VARIOUS
Good luck if your having a bet
ooo thechief I had a look at Crowell but I was a bit scared. Might just have to put a pound on it since you mentioned him ;)
Dalton you arse! 1/6!
Finchy, worth a quid mate ;) disappointed to see Tate come in and take it in, after he was benched last week.
Gents I know nothing about NFL. but the Browns our all over the the Bengals.
Dalton can’t pass, can’t rush for shit.
giving away pens left right and centre.
I have backed them but me thinks not tonight pussy cats.
GL all
Sanu looking lively early on. Not sure whether its Dalton or the wind messing up!
wtf, Cleveland are better than what people think, during the years Cleveland sucked like the Jags do now, but so many early draft picks means they finally got decent, and this is a derby game in football terms.
Cinci don’t lose many at home though, and all they need to do is feed Hill :D well for me anyway. Lets see what quarter two brings. A Browns touchdown by looks of things in that opener.
Worth every pound chief! Well done mate!
cheers chief. nice fiver back for me :P
Longshot scorer
CROWELL TO SCORE 4/1 VARIOUS WON :D
Cincinnati front seven aint stopping anyone against the run, Odds maker at Ladbrokes and Coral and others will be getting this off their bosses in the morning. 4/1 Anytime? C’MON MAN!!! :D
Jordan, Finchy cheers guys.
Hill your killing me ere dude
the whole bengals team seem to be killing us aha
Think Sanu overs would be in if he caught every ball thrown to him by now! Come on Bengals!
Dwight Howard with a first half double double in Houston.
Rockets destroying the Spurs! Anybody know what the spread was?
I jumped on the spread @ -19.5, now at -28.5. Howard can’t be stopped!
Get Dalton outta hear jeeeeez!
Harlee thanks for the NHL tip last might, woken up to see a nice bit of money added to the account :) Was on the -1.5 double and had Bruins and Penguins win double so was almost even better. Thanks
Mark Allen been outplayed by the better player I must admit.
AjHhughes, no worries mate. I was so confident of the double wins from either team.
Was a bit disappointed with the Penguins as I thought they would’ve scored the most rather than my Bruins.
Bengals game was a head scratcher I thought pre game anytime could win it, just didn’t see the Bengals collapsing like that, perhaps it’s time to take the Browns serious?
I’ve got a feeling the next couple of games could mean great odds for and against them, especially with the next game being Houston, Browns defense is stingy as hell and Mallet has just been announced the starting QB in which will be his first ever start in his 4 year career, that’s defo a browns -7 handicap game.
