IT'S win or bust for England today as they try to avoid the embarrassment of becoming the first World Cup hosts to fail to get past the group stage.
After defeat to Wales last weekend Stuart Lancaster's men will crash out if they lose to an Australia side they've beaten in four of the last five meetings.
England are 5-6 favourites at bet365 for the Twickenham showdown with the Aussies underdogs at 4-3 with Marathonbet.
There's also plenty at stake for Scotland who can seal their quarter-final place with a game to spare if they sink South Africa at St James' Park.
The Springboks have no margin for error after their shock defeat to Japan while the Scots have left out key men with an eye on next week's clash with Samoa. The Springboks are 8-11 at Ladbokes on the minus 13-point handicap while a Scotland win pays 13-2 at Stan James.
There's semi-final tennis action in store this morning with the pick of the matches Nick Kyrgios taking on Feliciano Lopez in Kuala Lumpur while the women's Wuhan Open Final sees Venus Williams and Garbine Mugurza battle for the title.
There's plenty more highlights on a packed Saturday of sport so let's hear your tips and thoughts and good luck with your bets.

RUGBY WORLD CUP GAME DOUBLE:
– Georgia +64.5 AND Under 80.5 total points @ $2.40
Is this for real hahaha http://www.joe.co.uk/sport/an-american-football-team-is-bringing-350-rolls-of-own-toilet-paper-to-london/17778
AUSSIE RULES GRAND-FINAL (starts in 30mins):
– UNDER 184.5 TOTAL MATCH POINTS @ $1.92
Can’t pick a winner here, could go either way. But it will be close, and being a grand final, I cant see this game going over 160-170 points.
My MLB 4-Fold posted yesterday lost. Let down my the Mariners with Iwakuma having a bad day on the mound. Pirates, Cubs & Dodgers all won.

AUSSIE RULES GRAND-FINAL:
– UNDER 184.5 TOTAL MATCH POINTS @ $1.92
This final between Venus and Muguruza is just weird… Both are injured and look exhausted.. Neither of them are even bothered to even run to the ball…if its too far they just let it go.

My early Nfl tips and hopefully going to go 4-0 with my Nap
NFL Sunday 6pm
Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
to score over 24.5 points 5/6 NAP Bet365
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES -3 5/6 NB Bet365
My bold prediction is I am expecting Philadelphia to score 38+ points this weekend and to win by 20+ points
So hopefully my Nap will be up at halftime
Well 365 have done me dirty, managed to pick up Williams to win at over 6/4 but according the bet365 rules when a player retires when they are getting slapped badly, it should only be fair to void the game. If only I decided to cash-out early though… Anyway anyone got any tennis underdog suggestions, need to regain what I lost in the Williams match?
By lost I don’t mean the stake,I mean the great winnings I should be credited.
I’ve got 0.5 points on a long shot (but in with a chance) tennis double:
– Garcia-Lopez
– Becker
DOUBLE pays $18.00 ($5 returns $90)
Becker is beating everyone, regardless of their ranking so he’ll take it right up to Ferrer who really is more of a clay courter.
Garcia-Lopez is in good form and will be rested after getting a walkover yesterday. Cilic has not been convincing so I think GGL can take it in a close one.
tomekplnd – I was watching the game. As soon as I heard Muguruza say ‘im sorry’ to the umpire i cashed out asap just before the odds were suspended. Normally im too late.
I know what you mean though, i’ve lost tons from void bets due to retirements (they never seem to retire when im on the loser though, lol).
If you see my post above, you could take Becker or Garcia-Lopez as singles…but be ready to cash out if they go a set up and looks tight later.
Attila i missed the match this morning, i dont know if you saw my message the other day but betfair pay out on retirements if who you picked to win has at least taken the first set before the other retires.
Saturday Acca
Rugby League
Wakefield v Bradford 2:50pm
BRADFORD to score over 20.5 points 5/6 coral
Football
Norwich v Leicester 3:00pm
OVER 2.5 goals 8/11 coral
Football
Sunderland v West Ham 3:00pm
WEST HAM to score over 1.5 goals 5/4 coral
Rugby Union
South Africa v Scotland 4:45pm
SCOTLAND to score over 15.5 points 5/6 coral
Acca pays 12/1 coral
And Becker finally gets the break on Ferrer adter troubling him on every service game so far! Get in there!
Not gonna lie, I put £70 on Becker because I was so mad with the 365 void bet, Attila what you planning on doing when (hopefully) Becker wins the set?
@ tomekplnd – did you take my advice and get on Becker? Can’t believe he was $5.50 for the win! If Ferrer puts up more of a fight this 2nd set try and cash out when the time is right.
Cash-out stands at £183, could win £385 though :o
That break hurt a bit, hopefully bites back on Ferrer’s service
It’s always hard mate…i’ve got him doubled with GGL later so i’ll go down with the ship if Ferrer trys to fight back, lol.
Being too greedy has screwed me in the past in Tennis…if he goes up a couple of points (say 0-30 or 15-40, etc) during one of Ferrer’s service games I would cash out buddy.
Johnb your Nfl nap is 11/8 at Skybet
Yeah hope for a good start from Becker in the 3rd, least I could do is get my money back at least
Looks like its going to a 3rd set mate… Didnt think Ferrer would lay down.
Morning gents, any thoughts on the smyczek vs halys match later?
4 fold today
Marterer 1/2
Schwartzan 4/11
Janowicz 4/9
Struff 2/5
Lepcenko 1/3
20 returns 110
tomekplnd – CASH OUT NOW
My greediness did not help ahhh
Messed up big time
5 fold*
He was up 40-15 against the serve, not sure you’ll get another chance for his odds to drop below evens again.
Should of mentioned yesterday that muguruza could hardly walk. I’m surprised she finished a set to be honest
Dynamo I was in Spain all week and only site I could get on was bet365
There are other bookies now better odds but I had already advised bet365
Just two small footie bets from me today
Newcastle @ 14/1
Southampton @ 4/1
and a double chance double
RUGBY WORLD CUP – ENGLAND VS AUSTRALIA – MATCH BETS:
1. Australia Win Margin 1-12 @ $2.90 (main stake)
2. HT/FT – England/Australia @ $6.50
3. Position to Score 1st Try – Number 11, 14 or 15 @ $2.51
This is the match i’ve been waiting for since the world cup kicked off (i’m an Aussie) so have been looking at the markets a fair bit before making my decisions.
– I think Australia will win it by just a few points in a game where the lead will change numerous times and go right down to the final buzzer.
– England have been starting strong and then fading into the 2nd half so there is really good value on the HT/FT market stated above which is worth a bit of a punt.
Chelsea most corners 0.55 came in the last 2 games.
Right folks who’s got a couple of 1st try scorers, 1 fi each team in the England Australia game. Betway doing double/treble odds if they get 2/3 tries so gonna stick a couple on for small stakes for a wee interest
3 out of 4 for my Acca with a very poor first half for Bradford as they couldn’t score, but then managed 16 points in the second half
Does anyone know if Co-ral offer offer inplay on UFC MMA? Im looking to jump on a bit of value tonight.
Any rugby experts here, Australia +2.5 @4/5 seems good
Jordan – Not sure 350 rolls is enough
Be looking for your tips on nfl for Tom bud
Capote – I am taking Australia at +2.5 all day long
well Newcastle didn’t come too close to landing that! But Southampton win for a 4/1 payday :)
Ad – Nice one on saints, had them on the last leg of a btts acca, well happy with that result.
Was gonna take that Foley as he had got 1st try 2 games ago but cos I’ve no got a clue about rubgy just left it, he would’ve been 16/1+ as never seen him on 1st page of favourites :(
Anybody know why Nice game is interrupted i’m guessing floodlights, need Nice for a nice payday !!
David, I’m sick, I couldn’t get the bet on in time, 4/5 was a gift
F*cking 25/1 tae so 50/1 they would’ve paid out and possibly 75/1 wi another try :(
DW I thought you’d vanished bud. Good to see you. Have had my tips up all week but will wait for the new thread to post again fella.
Punctuation is key Jordan :)
Jordan – lol, been in the background beavering away. On comeback no 302 now lol. Will have a look Tom on the new thread :-) hope your Unt score me a goal Tom.
Still might learn some discipline yet.
Capone – It was a tasty Bet and really should have gone more than the friendly point but a winner is a winner :-)
Alves – You missed a beauty there :-(
Dave I am certain we will score tomorrow. I’ll even tell you it’ll be Martial :)
Lost me Capone…
NCAAF
* Texas A&M + 6.5
Mississippi + 3.5
Clemson + 9
Treble @ 9/10
A safe looking college treble all the teams should win their respective games but going on the safe side
http://espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id/13788186/texas-tech-red-raiders-baylor-bears-hits-record-high-college-football
Total set at 90 points
Currently 84 in the 3rd quater :)
Jordan any MLS tips tonight?
Tyler, you keeping up with the Ohio State game? Currently loosing by 4 with the 4th to go. Handicap -3.5 is at 11/10… being very tempted by it myself aha
Thanks Jordan I’ll have a look at that.
Martin, BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals in the NYRB/Columbus Crew game at midnight. Was 8/11 @ 365 but not sure now.
Tyler not sure if you saw my college treble last Saturday. Wisconsin handicap and two games over 55 total points. Two totals were done at HT basically. You score, we score haha
Ole Miss/Aggies looks to be a good one tonight mate. Might get on the total but think Ole Miss are being backed! +4 is tempting me.
Big b sounds tempting, im watching bama atm can’t believe they were underdogs there mopping up georgia theres some great games on tonight
Jordan I must have missed it buddy , Ye u gotta love those you score we score games a few college games worth watching tonight mate. Quadruple header Tomorow :)
I know bud probably going to miss the London game as I’ll be out for the football :(
Staying up to UFC 192 and tempted by these odds, just to win the fight may I add:
Rose Namajunas (4/9) is definitely a banker in my eyes and the odds reflect that.
Tempted by Jessica Eye (2/1), Ryan Bader (11/10) and Alexander Gustafsson (2/1) also, hard to pick between the opponents in these fights but think there is value in these odds and may be worth putting on as singles.
All four in an acca returns around 25/1.
My mistake they are playing the Gaitors. Mississippi State playing the Aggies. Damn Americans :)
BigB you liking UCLA at home?
Jordan, UCLA looks strong in the past 4 games, its definitely worth some pennies on them to cover and maybe the under too, though you are not one to do unders aha.
I am just wary of the Arizona State team because they have been rather unpredictable, on their day, they can play anyone but they have more off days than on, which is why i would only put a wee bet on them :)
Jamesy I forgot about the UFC but sorry I think Pena might get the W here against Eye. She absorbs too many strikes and Pena is relentless in her striking.
UCLA -6.5 – NCAAF – 12:30AM
Julianna Pena – UFC – 3:00AM
19/20 @ 365 – 1 point
Cheers BigB. As you can see have gone for the alternate spread with Pena in the UFC.
It’s squeaky bum time in the Ohio State game! 7 points in it, Indiana with 16 seconds left at the Ohio 10 yard line!
Martin. 1-1 in under 15 minutes :)
Ye Jordan I see its on the same time of the mancs, thinking of taking u on the double chance on my very rare football bets.
Ole miss all over the place atm hopefully they get back into it
I agree Jordan, just think the odds on Eye are tempting.
Will make for some side interest whilst watching.
Jamesy beauty about UFC mate. One punch and an underdog winner could be yours. Good luck bud.
Tyler I posted it midweek and Greg has just posted it as his NAP. Over 2.5 Goals mate.
That’s it Jordan, why I love the sport!
Jordan sounds good if you guys are backing it
Chad kelly getting into the game ole miss at just under 2/1 is worth a go
Really getting annoyed with this Luck status. Still think your old QB can get the job done against the Jags but just tell us already Mr Pagano haha
Rose Namajunas wins by Rear naked choke in the first round, 4/9 on but impressive!
Jamesy I was routing for her to win TUF. Hate that other cookie eating b*tch haha
Haha Esparza?
Yeah didn’t like her either, Joanna wasnt long with her!
That’s the one. Always putting her make up on but still looked like a troll/man.
NCAAF
* Texas A&M + 6.5
Mississippi + 3.5
Clemson + 9
Treble @ 9/10. **LOSE**
A safe looking college treble all the teams should win their respective games but going on the safe side
Not over yet but ole miss are struggling, the other 2 both have a comfortable lead. I don’t think this is landing
Tyler. I’ve never seen the guy play. Your views on Hasselbeck please. I’m still thinking the Colts can get the job done if they have the right game plane if Luck doesn’t start.
Well UCLA haven’t showed up tonight. Arizona as big as 4/1 on the ML. Mothers!
UCLA -6.5
Julianna Pena
19/20 @ 365 – 1 point **LOSE**
Jordan he was our QB for a long time and has always been one of my favourite players He was good but he always threw a lot of picks, he’s been a starter throughout his career up until the past 3/4 years. I would have more confidence in him than most backups as he been to the Super Bowl , playoffs and pro bowl unlike most backups. The only problem is I haven’t seen him throw a ball for maybe 2/3 seasons so i don’t really know where he is at Hes gotta be in his 40s by now also
Cheers Tyler. I know he has the experience and is an old dog so I can’t see him making many bootlegs or roll outs haha. Think if he’s in the shotgun with short routes they should beat the Jags. I mean come on, its the Jags haha, just want that news out but if Luck was starting we’d surely know about it by now.
