Green Bay -7.5 vs Lions at home looks a like a banker to me.
Thought they would win by more but hey still covered!
Starting a 50p challenge, wish me luck.
NBA yesterday....urgh. Why didn't I pull the plug on my accy
Had Cavs, Mavs, GSW all on their handicaps with OKC and Pelicans for a £1 bet. And just didn't being that NBA is flakey and all. Damn me, but then again, had I won, I probably would of started gambling on NBA regularly.

Carolina -5.5. They've been playing a lot better of late and Arizona have their 3rd string QB playing.
Cashed out with Carolina dominating now.
Gone for Rangers, Penguins double in NHL.

Just stuck £90 on Anastasia to beat sherrock in the women's darts @ 1.50. Can't see sherrock winning, looked shakey as hell yesterday and only won because the other lass bottled it, wasn't really hitting her doubles. Anastasia looked much better, and has beenhere and done it all before so the nerves won't get to her.

It's hard to predict how Hawks will react now that their crazy winning streak is gone. Sometimes you get a real reality check and lose 2-3 on the bounce. I think they'll win tonight and cover though, they are a team on a mission. Raptors also a solid team but I most admit I like the UNDER in that game. Pistons-Pacers are two piss poor teams that I barely pay any attention to so it's hard to give any advice.
Trebles in the NBA is risky business if the intention is to gain some profit. Singles is the way to go, or in some instances doubles. My two plays for tonight are:
Rockets - Bulls UNDER 205.5
Celtics - Nuggets OVER 202.5
I've gone for Hawks -4.5 and Rockets-Bulls under 206.5, 20 makes 60. Thanks for the tip, I had thought about the Hawks because their streak just ended but the Wizards are on a losing streak so I can see ATL win that one.
On Tiger Woods to miss the cut at 5/6. Easiest money I've ever seen
feck me, basketball is awful to bet on sometimes. The amount of free throws given can be insane. I don't understand how it can be a sport with so many penalties, it's like the players don't know how to play.
Fouling is often tactical, especially if its late in the game. Teams use it to make the other team shoot free throws so they can get the ball back quickly and try to make the basket.
Started steering clear on the basketball after that info Bubz, well not completely clear, but not as much.
Been doing ok on the tennis and snooker the past couple days. Just mooching now, in-play is generally how I play these days for some reason.

Results has been a tough market in basketball this season, in my experience anyway.
Samid seems to have it right, go for overs or the handicap. You're basically betting on 50% outcome and the odds reflect that (almost).
Singles and doubles on those markets work better.
Took Higgins in the Welsh Open Snooker final @1.36. It's Woollaston's first ranking final and don't seem him being able to win it against what I'd class as an in form Higgins these days. Think nerves might play a big part.
Anyone know anything about these South Sydney Rabbitohs who are playing St Helens today in the "World Club Challenge"? You can get 4/7 and they seem to be the dog's proverbials.
Another one that looks interesting is D Ferrer to beat Fognini @ 1/4
Off topic but Fognini beat Nadal yesterday. This is on clay as well, Nadal looks finished as a top player at this point.
Yeah, I think that says more about Nadal than Fognoni. Ferrer has played Fognoni 7 times and won all 7, 4 of which were on clay.
I'm on a beautiful streak this weekend, four figure profit if Ferrer comes in.
It's 2/11 on for a reason but Kovalev is an absolute mortgage job this weekend, It would have to be a cut or a miracle punch for Pascal to win.
Senators - NY Rangers ML
What's your thinking there Samid?
Just recent form. NYR have been playing some cracking hockey for the past 2-3 months. Best team in the league at the moment.
Hawks - Nets +10
Todd Gurley to be the first RB drafted at 4/6 with Bet365 and Ladbrokes is an absolute banker in my opinion. Best back in the draft by a pretty wide margin IMO, only thing that could have caused him to drop was health concerns (Recovering from torn ACL) but after undergoing medical rechecks during the week he checked out fine. I think some team will fall in love with him and take him in the middle to late first. Draft starts April 30th.
Going to start using this thread again because I bet on allsort of stuff, usually badly though.
Had one bet today which would have been a nice easier winner @1.80 on the tennis but the bitch who was losing retired in the 2nd set so my bet get voided with bet365.
About to start now is Muguruza vs Konta, Konta done well in the previous round, against a below par Makarova imo. Muguruza did drop a set in the last round, to a decent player. Konta will be all over the place, her last round was no pressure, now she has a bit of media coverage I expect her to have a few more nerves this time out. Muguruza is the more experienced and I think she will win it today so took her @ 1.57.

Muguruza is 2-0 down in games and Konta about to serve for 3-0... I can't decide whether to lump more on Muguruza now or wait incase it goes 3-0, she's above evens on.
Konta's playing great recently. I don't think it would be a wise bet.
It is looking unwise at the moment, hoping she fades in the 2nd set... Muguruza is getting into it now, but Konta is keeping up her heavy serving, Muguruza is seriously struggling to deal with it. The crowd are spurring her on too.
And Muguruza loses 
These feckin threads man. Don't know how she lost after taking the 2nd set, she just completely crumbled in the 3rd, strange to watch.

Ruenroeng is fantastic value this weekend in my opinion, very good jab and move style.
Womens tennis is actually awful, every few games one of them gets their coach. Weird as hell to watch, how long as this been happening? I don't remember it being a normal thing before.
Might follow this... just deciding how much to throw down really.
Biggest risk is Bradley by decision - I think the logic is sound and the price is good but if I was going to leave one out it would be that.
Won a wide UD, pretty scrappy fight but always comfortable.
