Buckland to win the Prizefighter tournament @ 3/1

Yep, you'd fancy him providing he gets off to quick starts. Should have enough in his locker to walk it with relative ease.
 
Been on a roll of late! Going for Blackhawks, Cavs+9.5 and Rockets -5.5 @3.66
 
Sorry about that, as you might have seen he was completely robbed on the cards. That's one of the negatives of betting on boxing, makes you just want to limit yourself to knock out bets.

Was a strange decision alright. He clearly lost the first round, but easily won the second and edged the third I'd have said. Think the stats showed something Like 22% to 7% of punches landed.

The last two rounds weren't even close mate, as you rightly point out, the compubox stats supported what anyone with 2 correctly functioning eyes could see. The fact that a load of late money went on the Irishman leads me to believe 2 of the judges were bought.
 
For new Paddy Power customers you can get United at 12/1 tonight. I'm fecking gutted that I'm skint right now.
 
Wizards and Raptors are nailed on winners for me tonight. Both at 1.20. Or go for a double.
Both are playing teams on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and both at home.

These were winners right?

Anyways, imagine the odds of picking those at OT games in a double :drool:

Also @Samid , that is some damned bad luck! I once had an unders on an OT game and somehow they barely scored in OT and the bet still came in

Pathetic play in the final minute of the game. Neither team was going for the win, they were both settling for OT. I managed to cover the stake though by going under 229,5 during the second period, luckily they weren't even close to that number after OT.

Most of my totals bets in the NBA are UNDER so I've been on the receiving end of OT a few times.
 
Bit of an unusual one... table tennis.

Double your money on a 5 match accumulator for the first round of the ITTF Pro Tour Finals tonight. Ovtcharov, Mizutani, Samsonov, Mengel, Niwa all to win pays 1.25.

For some possible upsets, look at Chun Ting Wong (10/3) and Drinkhall (2/1). Other than that can't really see anything of a decent value.
 
Tempted just so I can say I've bet on table tennis.

I coach it for a living, so if I'm wrong then I'm in the wrong business! If any of those favourites lose then it'd be a big upset.

The two upset players have finished the season really strongly and are playing more fancied players who are in pretty poor form. Definitely possibles, but I'm not sure they'll be both winning.
 
Actually, don't think William Hill have the market.

Both the upsets are out in close matches that could've gone either way. Mizutani and Niwa win so three more to win the 5 man
 
And the 5 favourites won... get in.

For the table tennis quarters, stick money on Ovtcharov, Mizutani and Samsonov. Freitas and Niwa is a close one to call. Niwa will probably scrape it but Freitas does well against his style, could be worth a flutter on an upset.

Seen your tips last night and had a flutter, I'm a table tennis betting god. 100% win rate.

:D Glad to hear it. They only use world rankings to decide the odds so it's quite easy to see some good offers if you know a little about the game. These quarter finals are much closer but there's still some good value there. Mizutani will definitely win, Ovtcharov *should* win and Samsonov is getting on a little so a tiny bit risky. But I'd still go for those three all together.

Real good market to find value on, if you ever see anything that takes your fancy for table tennis then give me a shout, I'll be happy to advise.
 
Spurs +8 vs Portland is pretty ridiculous even with Duncan and Parker out. Give me Spurs and the points any day.
 
I've had some bad luck on NBA recently.
 
Im staying clear of NBA right now. Lost too much money on it recently. Probably have a look in the new year now.
 
Mavericks beat the Hawks tonight don't they? Need to back somebody at 1.5 or above and Mavs are at 1.5.

Can anybody give me a reason not to?

Dallas should especially with Jeff Teague doubtful for the Hawks.
