BRITISH No.2 Kyle Edmund can break into the world's top 40 for the first time in his career if he wins his quarter-final clash at the European Open today.
Edmund downed second seed David Ferrer in a third-set tiebreak yesterday to set up a last-eight showdown with Italy's Andreas Seppi.
It's the pair's first meeting and Edmund is favourite at 4-7 with Ladbrokes while Seppi is an 18-11 shot at Marathonbet and over 2.5 sets pays 6-4 at bet365.
In the pick of the Friday night boxing, Scottish prospect Josh Taylor is 2-9 favourite to claim the vacant Commonwealth light-welterweight belt when he takes on veteran Englishman Dave Ryan (26-5, Marathonbet) on home soil at Meadowbank.
There's also the likes of rugby and cricket worth a flutter today so feel free to add your tips and chat.
Sale v Toulon (Rugby U, 7.45)
Toulon lost last week, a little unexpectedly, against Saracens and despite the team not looking as good as they have traditionally known to be, i think they will seek vengeance here against a Sale team that have won 1 in their last 5 matches.
I like the look of the following:
Toulon over 2.5 team tries @1.66
Toulon to win HT/FT @1.83
Toulon -12 @1.9 (My favourite at the moment)
GL with your bets all.
Yeh I agree mate. Toulon are going to be seething after last week and will come out firing! Could see a few tries for sure if weather and pitch conditions are decent. Good luck
Sorry I didn’t get back to you yesterday @williams1993 end of term madness. Been working my nut off. Good luck with the bet. Like you and gunner say they should be looking for a result at Sale but Sale are pretty decent at home. You long should be too strong.
No worries buddy! Great work on the double as well! It inspired me to back the spread bet idea which as you’ll know paid off in the end. I have backed Toulon over 2.5 team tries as my main bet tonight in the end. HT/FT and Toulon -12 should be ok but just smaller stakes for me.
Enjoy Half Term!

Randall Cobb anytime/Green Bay win 13/10
**WON**
Took GB a while to get going but when they did it was a question of how many with Rodgers picking out receivers for fun. Chicago unlucky to end up playing most of the game with a 3rd string QB, and I was cautious Jordy Nelson wouldn’t get many touches so glad to come out of the night with one tip and one winner. Probably nothing from me until Sunday now.
Hi gents. No staked bet in the end for last nights NFL but the two bets I posted in the day won easily. Ty Montgomery saw the bulk of the backfield work and landed his rush and receiving yards of 70.5, with Aaron Rodgers throwing well over his pass attempts of 37.5 with 56.
Might not have many props this weekend and just stick with the double. Good luck with any bets.

☆☆☆WINNER☆☆☆
It Otago win 27-20, closer than expected but all good. Was tempted by the spread so glad I didn’t indulge at -9.
NZ vs Aus rugby tomorrow and the All Blacks are almost certain to break the record for the most number of consecutive Test wins. Not a lot of value in the markets as most expect NZ to crush the Wallabies. Gonna take over 5.5 NZ tries at 4/5 (Bet365). Hopefully there will be a lot of tries so gonna have a few small punts on the anytime tryscorers market. Ben Smith 11/10 and Israel Dagg 4/6 look good to me. I’ll have a little punt on Beauden Barrett 7/4 & Dane Coles anytime at 2/1.
Over 5.5 looks very tempting! May jump on that and old Coles anytime. GL buddy

Wellington should have this in the bag but the two played a very close game recently ending 21-17. This will give North Harbour some hope and being a semi final playoff it should a tighter tenser game.
