7/5/15 Best Bet of the Day - Womens world cup final USA v Japan free pick, prediction

USA v Japan in the womens world cup final. The USA have been rolling through this tournament and look a winner in tonights world cup.

PICK: USA women WIN @ 1.90 (-110)

Thursday 2 July 2015

7/2/15 MLB Free Pick of The Day - Milwaukee Brewers v Philadelphia Phillies picks, prediction, preview

Best of the day is an MLB shot as the Brewers travel to take on the Phillies. The Brewers have been absolutely horrible of late, but Philadelphia are only worse. Huge pitching mismatch here and the Brewers should grab the win in easy fashion...

PICK: Milwaukee Brewers WIN @ 1.8 (-122)

Wednesday 1 July 2015

7/1/15 Best Bet - Womens world cup Soccer - Japan V England picks, predictions, preview, analysis

Yesterday we were unlucky as the Germans missed a penalty that set in motion the events that saw the USA take control of the match..

One thing we did learn is that these matches come down to whoever can handle the pressure, rather than who is the better team on paper. England have been scoring consistently throughout this tournament and the usual strong defence of the Japanese could finally buckle here given the magnitude of the game. The game is probably a 50/50, but you're going to get 3.90(+290) for an England win.. Picking this for the sheer value

PICK: England WIN @ 3.90 (+290)

Tuesday 30 June 2015

6/30/15 Best Bet - Womens World Cup Semi Final - USA v Germany Women Preview, picks, predictions, tips

The Womens World Cup Semi Final action kicks off tonight with the USA taking on the Germans..

This one is guaranteed to be as good as women soccer gets given the match represents the number 1 and number 2 nations in the world. The difference lies in the road so far, where Germany have been taking out the best in the world and the US have cruised through somewhat easier opposition. Germany is going to bring a lot more pressure than the Americans have been exposed to in previous matches and that makes for a great bet...


PICK: GERMANY WIN @ 2.90 (+190)

Monday 29 June 2015

6/29/15 Best bet of the day - Copa America Semi Final - Chile vs Peru picks, prediction, tips, bets, preview

Chile have Peru in tonights Copa America Semi Finals.

No matter which way you look at it, it's hard to see anything other than a win for Chile. Fantastic for Peru to have made it this far but they're outclassed here. Short odds but an easy pick..

PICK: Chile WIN @ 1.50(-200)

Sunday 28 June 2015

6/28/15 MLB Best of the day - Kansas City Royals v Oakland A's Picks, predictions, preview

Getting the Royals as an underdog is always worth a punt. The A's have the slightly better pitcher but Kansas City are just too good and a win today finishes up the sweep!

PICK: Kansas City Royals @ 2.35 (+135)

Saturday 27 June 2015

28/6/15 Best of the Day NRL - Sydney Roosters v Gold Coast Titans preview, tips, bets, picks

Rough loss yesterday with the Bulldogs choking in the last 10 minutes of the game but tonight shows some reprieve. Getting +20 points for the Titans against the Roosters in the NRL. Yes, the Roosters look good to take out the comp, but you can't just go giving out 20 point head starts. Easy pick for me here...

PICK: Gold Coast +20 @ 1.93

Friday 26 June 2015

27/6/15 AFL Best of the Day - Western Bulldogs V St Kilda Saints preview prediction tips picks

The Bulldogs started strong, then fell off a bit but remain one win outside the 8. The Saints are still struggling to become a contender. The Dogs had the Saints by 60 points last time out before they put the cue in the rack and blew that astronomical lead. Don't think that can happen again...

PICK: WESTERN BULLDOGS -10.5 @ 1.93

If you have access to pick your own line -14.5 @ 2.10

6/26/15 Best Bet of the day- MLB - Washington Nationals v Philadelphia Phillies picks prediction preview

The Nationals are one of my favorite teams to bet on at the moment, and coincidentally the Phillies are one of the teams I love to fade when they're down on form. This one looks like the stars have aligned and with the Nationals starting their Ace it's going to be a long night for the Phillies.

PICK: Washington Nationals -1.5 Runs @ 2.00 (+100)

Thursday 25 June 2015

5/25/15 Best of the day - Cricket betting - Carribean Premier League picks, tips predictions

Barbados Tridents v Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel preview -

T & T are somewhat untested this season after only having one no result. The Barbados Tridents are firing and sit on top of the CPL with 2 wins from 2 and a great run difference. Just looking at the line up, this one seems pretty lopsided and Barbados should cruise..

PICK: Barbados Tridents WIN @ 1.74

Wednesday 24 June 2015

6/25/15 AFL Best Bet Of The Day - Frematle Dockers v Collingwood Magpies Tips, picks, predictions

The line has shifted like crazy from 26.5 down to 19.5 as money pours in for Collingwood. It seems the right time to win for them, Fremantle having just lost their first and Collingwood rolling on a 4 game win streak. But, theres a big difference when you travel to the west side of Australia and Collingwood will learn that tonight.

PICK: Fremantle -19.5 @ 1.93

Tuesday 23 June 2015

6/23/15 MLB Best of the day - Preview, picks, predictions

Two best bets in the MLB today, both slight outsiders.

Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox - Haven't been a believer in the Red Sox all season but you can't deny they have been playing well. I do think the Orioles are the better team and with the Red Sox starting Joe Kelly and his 5.24 ERA I think baltimore take the road win..

PICK: Baltimore Orioles WIN @ 2.04(+104)



Second up the White Sox are headed to Minnesota to take on the Twins. The White Sox have been a bit of a form roller coaster, the Twins a little more solid than that at 38-30. Twins are starting a much better pitcher with Pelfrey and have the home field advantage. Easy pick at outside odds.

PICK: Minnesota Twins WIN @ 2.00(+100)

Monday 22 June 2015

6/22/15 Womens World Cup Best Bet - USA v Colombia picks, predictions, betting, gambling preview

Colombia have been a bit of a mixed bag so far but have proven their salt. Their opponents, USA, are no doubt one of the favorites to take out the cup. Colombia will know their only chance to win this one is to tighten up their defense and stop the USA from scoring as freely as they do.

PICK: USA v COLOMBIA UNDER 2.5 Goals @ 2.20(+120)

Sunday 21 June 2015

US open Golf Round 4 best bet of the day, preview, prediction, betting analysis

Round 4 of the US open best bet!

Hate to have this as my pick of the day, but Jordan Spieth to beat Jason Day head to head today is about as close as you'll get to a 1.75 (-130) lock. Day had an inspirational round yesterday and got the whole crowd behind him as he battled with diagnosed vertigo and still managed to reach the top of the leaderboard. Day almost walked off the course several times yesterday due to his illness. Don't like capatalising on this great story, but you're getting one of the best in the world against a sick player at 1.75..

PICK: Spieth WINS H2H @ 1.75(-130)

Saturday 20 June 2015

6/20/15 MLB Best Bet of the Day - New York Mets v Atlanta Braves picks, preview, predictions, tips

Best of the day in the MLB is another small outsider in the Atlanta Braves. Starting Perez with a 3-0 record with a 2.29 ERA against the Mets' Syndergaard with a 2-4 record and 3.76 ERA. The Braves should hold the edge in this one at a nice price..

PICK: Atlanta Braves WIN @ 2.17 (+117)

21/6/15 Super XV Rugby Finals Best Bet - Brumbies v Stormers

Two of the best come head to head playing in the Stormers back yard. The favouritism for the Stormers lies within that home ground advantage. But, the Brumbies have a haed to head advantage and the Stormers defense is a littel inconsistent. Happy to take great odds on the Brumbies to bring it home.

PICK: Brumbies Win @ 2.30 (+130)

Friday 19 June 2015

US open golf Round 2 best betting, preview, analysis, prediction, picks

Best bet for the 2nd round of the US Open.

Dustin Johnson v Henrik Stenson.

After a good day yesterday this pair will match up for round 2. DJ has a booming drive that lead him to his -5 score after day 1. However, Stenson seemed to enjoy the course and had 7 birdies. I think $2.10 for stenson to win this head to head is a gift.

PICK: Henrick Stenson @ 2.10(+110)

Thursday 18 June 2015

MLB 6/18/15 Best Bet - Kansas City Royals v Milwaukee Brewers picks, predictions, preview, betting

Looking to get back on track after a tough week following Robredo's 2-1 loss. Going with a solid Kansas City team to get a win here against the Brewers. Milwaukee are one of the worst teams in baseball and its a profitable trend to just keep betting against them.

PICK: Kansas City Royals WIN @ 1.70 (-145)

Ascot Gold Cup - Race 4 tips, picks, prediction, preview..

Normally I don't like to side with a favourite in big event such as the Royal Ascot Gold Cup, but I do think Forgotten Rules has the field covered here. The distance suits and theres no doubting the form with an unbeaten record.

PICK: Forgotten Rules @ 3.90 (+290)

Wednesday 17 June 2015

6/18/15 Tennis Best Bets Of The Day - Tommy Robredo v Andreas Seppi

After a couple of losses, the tennis today should get us back on track. ATP Halle: Robredo is paying a large 2.29 (+129) to beat Andreas Seppi.

Robredo leads Seppi 7-3 in  their head to head.
Robredo Ranks 20 against Seppi at number 45.

Easy pick to grab a big price on Robredo..

PICK: Tommy Robredo WIN at 2.29 (+129)

17/6/15 - Best bet of the Day - Cricket England v New Zealand ODI picks predictions tips preview

Liking the Black Caps to cruise to victory in this one. The better team will come out on top, and New Zealand are just that...

PICK: NEW ZEALAND WIN @ 1.80 (-122)

Tuesday 9 June 2015

State Of Origin Preview - Queensland v NSW Game 2

After grinding out a 1 point win last time around I think Queensland will be ready to go and get a win again in game 2. These games are always tight and low scoring, but at the end of the day the Maroons just have too many play makers to stop. Hard to see any State of Origin team winning by 13+ given the class, so 2.60 for Maroons 1-12 is a great bet!

PICK: Queensland Maroons 1-12 @ 2.60 (+160)

Saturday 6 June 2015

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - Barcelona V Juventus Picks, Predictions, Betting Preview, Tips

The Champions League final kicks off today with Barcelona taking on Juventus. The odds for this one weigh heavily in favour of Barcelona lifting the cup, but 1.60 is just much too short. Yes, Barca have a near unstoppable attacking unit, but this is a Champions League final and their opponents are no easy beat. Juventus are the best team in Italy! While I think Barca should win, you would be burning money to take them at 1.6. You can get a huge 6:1 for Juventus, this is a great team and have only conceded 7 goals all tournament. Anything can happen in a final and $6 is just too much to pass up on a quality side..

PICK: Juventus WIN @ $6 (+500)

PICK: Lionel Messi First Goal @ $5(+400)

Friday 5 June 2015

UFC Fight Night 68 - Henderson v Boetsch Preview, Predictions, Picks, Betting Analysis

UFC Fight night 68 Dan Henderson V Tim Boetsch

Going head to head, both fighters are extremely well rounded. The power and strength of Hendo and Boetschs striking will keep them on their feet, but neither fighter is a mug on the ground either. Most of the fights these two compete in end in knock outs and you can expect the punches to fly. Overall, at a whopping 45 years old, I think Hendo is just a little too far past his prime to get over the top of a resilient Boetsch.

PICK: Boetsch WIN @ 1.55

Value Pick: Boetsch by Decison @ $7 (+600)

Thursday 4 June 2015

6/4/15 NBA Finals Game 1 - Golden State Warriors v Cleveland Cavaliers preview, picks, prediction

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Golden State Warriors game 1 preview and pick..

The line is set at 5.5 for the opening game of the series and there's a lot of different opinions about the outcome. Let's not get too excited about this Cavs team. Other than Lebrons dominance and some fancy shooting by J.R Smith here and there they aren't as full bodied as Golden State. They've had a very easy run in the East and beating the Hawks should have been even easier than it was. Brooklyn probably gave the Hawks just as much trouble in some games. Traveling to the bay is going to be by far the hardest task the Cavs have been faced with so far and Golden State will be happy to send a message. It all depends on how Golden State deal with Lebron, tonight will be a good indicator of what to expect from the series..

PICK: Golden State -5.5 @ 2.00 (+100)

           Golden State WIN series -1.5 games @ 2.00 (+100)

Wednesday 3 June 2015

French Open Womens Semi Finals - Serena Williams V Timea Bacsinszky picks, tips, betting preview

Semi Finals - French Open - Serena Williams V Timea Bacsinszky

It's no secret Serena is an absolute beast on the court and almost impossible to beat. However, her recent outings have been sub - par to her regular standard dropping 3 sets in her last 4 games. In contrast, Timea has only dropped one set in her charge for the final and has looked confident. With Williams constantly struggling to get started and being a liability in the first set, getting 5.5 games head start is a gift..

PICK: Bacsinszky +5.5 games handicap @ 1.91 (-109)

NHL Stanley Cup Final - Preview, Picks, Predictions, Tips -Chicago Blackhawks v Tampa Bay Lightning

NHL Stanley Cup Final - Blackhawks v Lightning spread, betting preview.

After the Hawks beat off the Ducks and Tampa Bay finishing the Rangers season these two teams come into this one after 7 game long conference finals. How will they match up in the post season? Playing different hockey, Chicago will have an edge in experience and Tampa Bay will have the speed. My issue with the Lightning is their defense. Ben Bishop let in 7 goals in game 6 and it's only going to get worse against a team that is no stranger to post season pressure..

PICK: Chicago Blackhawks win series  -1.5 games @ 2.60(+160)

Tuesday 2 June 2015

6/3/15 - Tennis French Open Mens Quarter Finals - Picks Preview and Predictions

French Open Betting preview and predictions - Djokovic v Nadal

Novak Djokovic v Rafael Nadal Preview and Pick -

There's no denying the dominance of Djokovic in mens tennis at the moment, but $3.30(+230) for the King of Clay? Nadal is a clay court specialist and has dominated this event for years, 9 times in the past 10 years to be more precise! This guy has only lost one French Open since 2005 and won the last 6. Last year he beat Djokovic 3-1 in the final. How could you not get behind Nadal at $3.30?

PICK: Rafael Nadal WIN @ $3.30 (+230)

6/2/15 MLB Best of the day - Chicago White Sox v Texas Rangers picks, preview, predictions

Texas Rangers v Chicago White Sox  preview,  picks,  prediction

A lot of the time I've put my faith in the Rangers team and some times it pays off and others it doesn't. While they seem to be making a charge, they remain inconsistent. I think Samardzija is an underrated pitcher and starting today for the White Sox against Lewis will give them the edge to take the W..


PICK: Chicago White Sox WIN @ 1.98 (-102)

Sunday 31 May 2015

5/31/15 MLB Best Bet Of the Day - San Francisco Giants v Atlanta Braves PICKS PREDICTION PREVIEW

The reigning world champions San Francisco will host the Atlanta Braves tonight for the second game of their 3 game series. Yesterday the Braves smashed the Giants 8-0 against the expectations of most. I can't see that happening twice in a row, especially seeing SF are starting Bumgarner, their star pitcher. I think San Francisco bounce back in a big way here..

PICK: San Francisco Giants -1.5 Runs @ 2.25 (+125)

Saturday 30 May 2015

5/30/2015 Game 7 Chicago Blackhawks at Anaheim Ducks Picks, Predictions, Preview

Game 7 - Chicago Blackhawks at Anaheim Ducks Picks and Prediction


Just like Tampa Bay and New York this series has gone back and forth without anyone really showing a clear edge. Both teams have scored 14 goals in the series each, both teams have won all their games straight after they lose. Following that pattern would suggest that the number 1 seeded Anaheim Ducks win tonight. But, I think neither of these teams are prepared to give an inch and this one could go either way. For that reason, I'd recommend getting behind the Blackhawks in this one just like it would've worked with Tampa last night. In a 50/50 game, take the team that pays more..


PICK: Chicago Blackhawks WIN @ 2.18 (+118)

31/5/15 AFL Best Bet - Collingwood v North Melbourne Betting Tips, Preview, Prediction..

AFL Round 9 best bet of the day..


North Melbourne face Collingwood at the MCG at 3.20 local today in wet conditions. The bookies have the game as a toss up and picking a winner is a hard task. Collingwood find themselves in the top 8, but aren't really a top 8 team. North Melbourne find themselves outside the top 8, but probably should be a top 8 team. I think Collingwood get up here as the Roos are notorious for poor performances when it comes to wet conditions. But, the better play is getting under the total at 172. I'ts likely to rain all game long and getting the two teams to combine for more than 25 goals seems a feat in the mud...

PICK: NM Kangaroos/Coll Magpies under 172 @ 2.00 (+100)

Thursday 28 May 2015

29/5/15 NHL Game 7 Best Bet Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers predictions, analysis, picks

29/5/15 NHL Best Bet Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers predictions, analysis, picks

Game 7 Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers preview and pick.

What a series it has been so far! Some defensive games and others with more than 10 goals. A lot of away wins and a lot of upsets. This series is so unpredictable that your basic "go to" betting statistics go out the window when considering betting here. Contrary to the bookies belief, I don't think home ice really does a hell of a lot for the Rangers here. BUT, Lundqvist and the fact they scored 7 goals past Ben Bishop on Tuesday night sends a pretty strong message. This game is a complete toss up, but with the form from Tuesday running into tonight and a packed out Madison Square Garden, the Rangers get it done and win the East..


PICK: New York Rangers -1.5 @ 3.30 (+230)

29/5/15 French Open Tennis Preview, tips and Predictions - Tomas Berdych V Benoit Paire

Preview, predictions and tips for the French Open Grand Slam - Berdych V Paire..

Benoit Paire comes into this one off a convincing win against Fabio Fognini(27). Tomas Berdych is continuing his march through the ATP Rankings and validates his 1.07 favouritsm. Berdych is clearly the better tennis player, but theres more to it than just paper records. History will show that Paire prefers the pace difference in comparison to hard court matches and plays the back hand drop shot better than most(Including Berdych). In a game where there should be a lot of backhand rallies, I can easily see Benoit covering the giant handicap headstart...

PICK: Benoit Paire +8 Games @ 1.93 (-107)

5/28/15 MLB Boston Red Sox at Texas Rangers preview, predictions, pick

Boston Red Sox at Texas Rangers preview and pick

The Red Sox are quickly becoming one of those teams that if you fade them enough you're going to make money. They've spent a lot of their cash in the wrong ways and lost a lot in the Hanley Ramirez money pit.The Rangers on the other hand have been red hot as of late and even with a poor home record so far this season should be able to get over the top of an average Red Sox team with Martinez pitching against Rodrigue. Texas Rangers are the bet of the day..

PICK: TEXAS RANGERS @ 2.10 (+110)

Wednesday 27 May 2015

5/19/15 NBA Best Bet and Preview - Houston Rockets at Golden State Game 1 predictions, picks

We are currently on a 5-0 run heading into the Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors 5/27/15

Game 5 of the Houston v Golden State series gets underway at Oracle arena tonight. The Rockets showed that they aren't going to go down without a fight putting up 128 points over Golden State Monday night. Both teams are going to be tired after a long post season here and generally that's going to favour the team that plays more desperately. The last game woke something up in the Rockets and they will be rolling ready to go. Tonight's prediction is that the Warriors will win, but not blow it out. The 1-10 result is paying a pretty penny..


PICK: Golden State WINS 1-10 @ $2.80(+180)

5/26/15 Game 6 Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks prediction, preview and pick


Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks Game 6 Preview, Pick, Analysis, Prediction..



The Chicago Blackhawks will host Anaheim in a must win game 6. Down 3-2 in the series Chicago find themselves in a back against the wall position and potential end to their post season. The Rangers showed us why they are a real contender for the Stanley Cup last night beating Tampa well on their own ice, but I'm not sure the Hawks can get the same job done. We've seen this series become one of the most competitive of all post season match ups and neither team has seemed to have the advantage for long. However, despite the 2 goals in the last 2 minutes that pushed game 5 into overtime, the Hawks look tired. At nice looking odds,  I think the Ducks come out firing in this one and jump into the Stanley Cup final with a spring in their step...

PICK: Anaheim Ducks WIN @ 2.32 (+132)

Tuesday 26 May 2015

State Of Origin Preview and Predictions 27/05/15

2015 State of Origin Preview, Predictions, Tips

Origin is back! The Queensland Maroons will be keen to set the record straight after New South Wales got the better of them in 2014.

It's no secret that both teams come into this one with a passion that mostly derives from the pure loathing of their opponents. Queensland have dominated the history of this clash and the Blues victory last year was their first in 9 origin series. There's no doubt that the Blues have the best of the youngsters tonight, but the greats of the game are stacked up in the Maroons line up. The best chance for NSW to get up is in a low scoring forward battle to negate the damage that the Maroons playmakers are capable of. But honestly, there's just too much talent and with Billy Slater and Johnathon Thurston orchestrating the Blues will be left wanting....

If you have a Tom Waterhouse account they're offering a HUGE promotion. If your team leads at any time but lose, MONEY BACK! I can't dream seeing the Maroons behind for 80 minutes..

PICK: Queensland Maroons @ 1.75

5/26/15 Game 5 New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning prediction, preview and pick.

New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning Game 6 Preview, Pick, Analysis, Prediction..

The Rangers head to Tampa Bay to play a must win game 6 to keep their Stanley Cup campaign alive. Tampa Bay got the 3-2 series lead away from home sneaking 2 goals to none in a low scoring game in New York City. However, last time these two teams played in Tampa at Amelia Arena, New York obliterated the home team, scoring relentlessly to end it 5-1. You can't deny the talent of the New York Rangers and the difficulty of getting a puck past Hendrik Lundqvist. I like this Rangers team in a backs against the wall situation and give them the edge at good odds...


PICK: New York Rangers win @ 2.20 (+120)

5/26/2015 NBA Best Bet - Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers Game 4 picks, preview, predictions

Game 4 Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers preview and prediction..

The Atlanta Hawks brought the heat against the Cavs last time out and shocked everyone when they had a shot to win it in regular time. How could a team that has been demolished on their home court come out in Cleveland without Kyle Korver and a ejected Horford and almost win it?  Basketball can be a crazy game, but spirited performances like that aren't worth betting on. I still think this Cavs outfit at home will be dominant and they might have Kyrie Irving back as a kicker.  Seeing Golden State was pushed into game 5 last night, Cavs will be keen to put this series to rest and earn some extra time off..

PICK: Cleveland Cavaliers -7.5 @ 2.00 (+100)

Monday 25 May 2015

French Open Tennis Round 1 Best Bet 26/5/15

Andrea Petkovic v Shelby Rogers preview and pick

Number 10 up against number 80 in the world in this one. The old horse Petkovic retired early in her last match but is cleared match fit and ready to play today. Rogers is a shadow of her old self losing 12 of her 15 games this season and doesn't seem to have much motivation left. Should be a cake walk for Petkovic here..

PICK: Andrea Petkovic 2-0 Sets @ 1.90 (-110)

5/25/15 Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets predictions, analysis and pick

Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets predictions, analysis and pick

Golden State have been absolutely dominant this series.. this post season..this season.... Chef Curry is the best player on the planet and impossible to guard. Andrew Bogut seems to be playing out of his skin and running high on confidence at the moment aswell. Paint or perimeter? Golden State don't care they're going to score either way. Houston find themselves in a win or go home situation sitting 0-3 and that might be the catalyst they need to get this one done. We've seen the under/over game total drop from 220 to 218 to 215 now starts at 212.5. Under has been paying out like no ones business off the back of some poor offence from the Rockets, struggling to post 100. I think tonights situation wakes this Rockets team up tonight and while the point spread is a hard pick, the OVER is well overdue and should be easy money!

PICK: GOLDEN STATE/HOUSTON OVER 212.5 @ 1.95 (-105)

5/25/15 MLB Preview and Picks MLB Miami Marlins At Pittsburgh Pirates picks, prediction, analysis

MLB Preview and Picks MLB Miami Marlins At Pittsburgh Pirates

Miami have struggled this season no question about it. The Pirates are hot favourites although they haven't really been that convincing this season and will start Charlie Morton for his first start this season back from surgery. Not sure how many pitches he will even throw tonight. David Phelps starts for the Marlins and comes into this with a winning record. I think Phelps is the key here and can get the win at the Pirates at good odds..


PICK: MIAMI MARLINS WIN @ 2.25 (+125)

Sunday 24 May 2015

5/24/15 NBA Best Bet Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers preview, picks and prediction

Analysis and betting pick for Game 3 Atlanta Hawks V Cleveland Cavaliers

The Hawks are in so much trouble it hurts to watch in this one. This season the Hawks outscored their opponents by 60 points with Kyle Korver on the floor, and were outscored by 30 without him. On top of that the only player they have to guard Lebron James seems to be a shadow of himself with that hyperextended knee. On top of THAT, they just lost convincingly on their home court WITHOUT Kyrie Irving even getting dressed for the Cavs. The only way the Cavaliers don't cover this 9 point line is if they leave out Kyrie and play in low gear seeing this series is as good as done. I think the Cavs want nothing more than to sweep the Hawks and get all the rest they can before they face Golden State. Atlanta will need to change their game style without the catch and shoot of Korver. I think this game will come out in a faster pace than usual and expect a big game from Jeff Teague. Not big enough though....

PICKS: CLEVELAND CAVALIERS -9 @ 2.00 (+100)
             CLEVELAND CAVALIERS HF/FT @ 1.55 (-145)                                     GAME TOTAL OVER 189.5 @ 1.93 (-107)
              JEFF TEAGUE OVER 17.5 @ 1.91 (-109)

24/5/15 NHL Best Bet Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers predictions, analysis, picks

Game 5 Tampa Bay Lightning at New York Rangers preview and pick.




The first 4 games of this series has seen the puck in the back of the net 28 times in an offensive slaughter. Ben Bishop has been cold as ice (mind the pun) lately, letting 5 goals slip by him in 2 games consecutively. The over has won 3 times on the trot and when something is winning consistently, the key is to just jump on board and enjoy the ride. Even though these games have been high scoring the bookies are still reluctant to shift the total line. Both teams will be talking nothing but defense between games, but both teams have shown they're vulnerable to giving upwards of 6 goals in a game...


PICK: TAMPA BAY/ NY RANGERS OVER 5 @ 1.95(-105)

Saturday 23 May 2015

EPL - Premier league best bet final week! 24/5/2015

The final week of the premier league is here, must win games for some, kick arounds for others.

The line for the 10 games being played today and tomorrow is under/over 30.5 goals. Statistically, the Premier League is notorious for being stingy on goals and never has the leagues recent history reflected a 3.0 goal average. Even if each game has 3 goals in it, it still wont be enough to break that 30.5 line. Going with the statistics here in what should be an easy cash out...


PICK: Total goals of 10 games UNDER 30.5 @1.80 (-120)

UFC 187 Analysis, Picks, Predictions, Best Bets

Huge night tonight! The best card of the year this far also looks the most predictable.

UFC action picks and previews..

Cormier VS Johnson - Light Heavyweight Title
Tough pick here, both come into this with strong justification as the best light heavyweight fighter in the world. It's all going to come down to if Johnson can avoid enough takedowns and keep this one off the mat.

Prediction - Cormier via decision $3.90 (+290)

Weidman VS Belfort - Middleweight Title

Just stop overthinking this one. Belfort is going to be in a world of pain here. 38 years old with no middleweight fights in 2 years? He's going to be worn out quickly leaving him vunerable for Weidman to end this one early.

Prediction - Weidman via TKO @ $2.37 (+137)


Cerrone VS Makdessi  

Again, this one should be easy money. Makdessi is probably going to get choked out before he's even done stretching. With the height, the reach and size in general, Cerrone would have to do a lot to lose here. 

Prediction - Cerrrone via submission or whatever way he feels, blindfolded @ $3.30 (+230)

5/23/15 MLB Los Angeles Angels at Boston Red Sox preview, predictions, pick

LA Angels v Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park Saturday Night Baseball.

I don't really have a lot of time for the Boston Red Sox team. They've spent a lot of their cash in the wrong ways and lost a lot in the Hanley Ramirez money pit. The Angels got over the top of the Red Sox last night in a convincing fashion (12-5) and I don't see it going any other way in this one. The Angels love to bat against a knuckleball pitcher and Wright should be getting hit tonight. In contrast, the Red Sox are notorious for struggling against a left handed pitcher. Of course, Mike Napoli is probably going to give the Sox a chance, but Los Angeles are just the better team at a nice price..

PICK: LOS ANGELES ANGELS WIN @ 1.98 (-102)

22/5/2015 Bundesliga - Bayern Munich V Mainz 05 prediction, analysis, betting tip

German Bundesliga Bayern Munich v Mainz Preview and predictions..

Bayern Munich are the powerhouse of the Bundesliga and have some questions to answer in regards to their recent performances. They're going to bring a strong and spirited performance against the 10th placed Mainz to give the home fans something to cheer about in this one. However, they're defense has been buckled a few times of late and Mainz should be able to get an away goal at some point. Should be an open game and for that reason you should take Bayern to win well but not easily..

PICK: BAYERN MUNICH BY EXACTLY 2 @ 4.30

5/23/15 NBA betting preview - Golden State Warriors @ Houton Rockets, Picks, Prediction, Analysis

Houston Rockets take on the Golden State Warriors for the first time at home this series tonight..

The Rockets have put up a hell of a contest so far, easily covering the double digit spreads they've been dealt in the first two games of the series. They're 2-0 ATS and this time only slightly out of favor with the bookmakers at +1.5. Although, I'm still liking the look of the Warriors.. This team is a monster and one of the best line-ups the NBA has seen in the past few years. They have shown absolute dominance against the Rockets for periods, then gone cold somewhere in the 2nd or 3rd quarter and failed to make easy buckets. I'm still a big believer that the Warriors are going to start playing in their dominant fashion but avoid the momentary game lapses that have brought these games closer than the handicappers expect. If you watch a lot of NBA you would know if any team deserves your confidence, it's Golden State..

PICK: Golden State Warriors -1 @ 2.00 (+100)

5/21/2015 NBA Playoffs Best Bet Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks Predictions, Analysis, Picks

Game 2 Eastern Conference Finals Cleveland Cavaliers At Atlanta Hawks.

Game 1 showed moments of both teams at their best. The Hawks came out firing and shot over 70% in the first quarter. Things were looking ominous for Lebron and the Cavs, until they started playing some basketball of their own to bring it back level. Then, J.R Smith took the game into his own hands and orchestrated the 13-0 run to start the 4th quarter that put the nail in the coffin for the Hawks. It would be crazy to think the Cavs could come along and take both away wins from the number 1 seed to start the series, but that might just happen. If Demarre Carroll doesn't play with his knee sprain the Hawks are in big trouble. The Cavs will be able to run a "pick and roll" all day long and that leaves the Hawks with the conundrum of either giving Lebron an easy shot or pulling their bigs away from the hoop and leaving the inside exposed. Millsap is a mismatch for Lebron in terms of speed and acceleration.

With Demarre Carroll the Hawks averaged 105.6 points per 100 possessions, without they averaged 92.6. Thats worse than the Philadelphia 76ers, who were the worst shooting team in the NBA this season..

 Keep an eye out for Carrolls status, if he doesn't play the Hawks will go 0-2..

PICK: Cleveland Cavaliers @ 2.36 (+136)

21/5/15 NHL Best Bet New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning predictions, analysis, picks

Game 3 New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning preview and pick.

The games between these two have always been expected to include goals and a lot of them. Aside from a mediocre offensive showing which saw the Rangers win 2-1 in game 1. Game 2 and 3 had 8 and 11 goals respectively. The line is still sitting at over/under 5 goals and I think you'd be crazy to not continue riding that streak. Both teams are scoring regularly and a tight series always offers the chance of overtime or a sneaky open net goal.

PICK: Tampa Bay/NY Rangers OVER 5 @ 1.90(-110)

5/21/15 Best Of the Day Triple - NHL Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks Picks, Predictions, Analysis

NHL Playoffs Prediction Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Bulls prediction

With the series tied 1-1 Anaheim are left with the task of stealing back an away win. The Ducks looked dominant in game 1 but struggled to get the job done in game 2 where they went 0/5 in their powerplay efforts. The Blackhawks are a monster at home and have been all season long but i'm still not convinced that they're a better team than the Ducks. For that reason I can't pick a winner in this game, but I see value in the game total. The Chicago defense is solid on the power play and the Ducks struggled to score at home. Additionally, Chicago scored twice in the first 7 minutes of the 1st period yet the total still didn't manage to go over the line. Going against the bookies and predicting another defensive battle in game 2 of this series..

PICK: Blackhawks/Ducks UNDER 5 @ 2.25 (+125)

5/21/15 Best Of the Day Triple - MLB Los Angeles Angels at Toronto Blue Jays Picks, Predictions, Analysis

MLB Prediction Los Angeles Angels At Toronto Blue Jays Betting Prediction

Can't believe the Angels are starting as the underdog in this one. What stat merits the favoritism of the Blue Jays? Their pitching is a HUGE liability, Dickey struggles as a starter consistently and the supporting cast give up runs like no ones business. The story of the Blue Jays is that even if they do manage to gain the lead in a game, you can be assured they'll blow it. With the Angels chasing the top of the AL and on a run winning 7 of their last 10. I'm happy to take the Los Angeles Angels as the underdog and watch the Blue Jays self implode..


PICK: LOS ANGELES ANGELS WIN @ 2.00

5/21/15 Best Of the Day Triple - NBA Golden State Warriors v Houston Rockets Picks, Predictions, Analysis

Betting predictions for Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors 5.21.15

Last time out, Houston came out firing to send a message to the Warriors in game 1. Hitting a lead of 14 in the second quarter, a lot of the handicappers were left scratching their heads. That was until Golden State woke up and became themselves again turning that deficit into an 11 point lead by the start of the fourth.

Key facts about the game that should be considered when betting on game two:

What would have happened had the Rockets not gained that 14 point cushion?

Can James Harden replicate the dominant performance he pulled out in game 1?

Will the Rockets small line up be able to achieve what they did again?

Even if Dwight Howard does play, will he be himself?

Can the Rockets keep Klay Thompson to 15, and Bogut to 0 and Lee to only 2 points again?

I think a lot of what happened is going to be near impossible for the rockets to replicate and for that reason i'm happy to take the points off the Warriors

PICK: Golden State Warriors -9.5 @ 2.00 (+100)

Wednesday 20 May 2015

5/20/15 NBA Best Bet of the Day Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks Game 1 pick, prediction, analysis

Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers analysis and predictions:

Game 1 brings a rested Cleveland Cavaliers to the Atlanta Hawks to get the conference finals underway.

The Atlanta Hawks had a long, demanding series against Washington and honestly didn't look like a number 1 seed at all. Their defense at some points was nothing short of pathetic and struggled to operate any offensive potency. The Cleveland Cavaliers however, have been more convincing as their momentum has continued and continued from only a few months ago when they were a sub 500 team.  If the Hawks defense couldn't contain a Wizards offence consisting of a 75 year old Paul Pierce and absent of John Wall, how could they expect to stop Lebron and Kyrie? One of my bets of the week here..


PICK: CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WIN @ $2.15(+115)

Tuesday 19 May 2015

5/19/15 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs - Chicago Blackhawks @ Anaheim Ducks Prediction, odds, picks

Game 2 Chicago Blackhawks at Anaheim Ducks analysis and prediction.

Tampa Bay bounced back to win away from home against the Rangers last night, but I'm not entirely sure the Blackhawks can do the same. No doubt you can expect the Hawks to come out firing to try and get the early lead and defend it, but the ducks have just been too good in all areas so far. Game 1 the Hawks fired a lot of shots, but not a lot of good ones. Anaheim contrasted that perfectly by scoring 4 of their 27 shots on goal. They are the top seed for a reason, their defense has contained the best of them, offensively they've scored more goals than any other team in the playoffs at 3.9 a game and to wrap it all up they have yet to lose any of their 6 home ice games this post season. All of the stats and numbers lean towards another Ducks win here..

PICK: Anaheim Ducks @ 1.83

5/19/15 NBA Best Bet and Preview - Houston Rockets at Golden State Game 1

Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors 5/19/15

Game 1 of the Houston v Golden State series gets underway at Oracle arena tonight. The Rockets enter this one of a long and tough series comeback and traveling to Golden State is only going to make things tougher. The Rockets lost all 4 games at the Warriors this season by an average of over 15 points. So of course the best bet would be to take the 10.5 from the Warriors right? I don't think so. I think the bookies are looking at Houston's series against the Clippers as tiring and demanding. In reality, the last series woke something up in the Rockets and they will be rolling ready to go. Tonight's prediction is that the Warriors will win, but not blow it out. The 1-10 result is paying a pretty penny..


PICK: Golden State WINS 1-10 @ $2.80(+180)

Monday 18 May 2015

Best of the day NHL 5/18/15

New York Rangers v Tampa Bay Lighting Stanley Cup picks and prediction

The Stanley Cup continues tonight with Tampa Bay trying to level the series. The last time the Rangers hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning, most expected a high scoring affair given the offensive potency of both teams. That didn't turn out to be the case as the game finished 2-1 off the back of great defensive efforts and some shockers of missed chances.

So the bookies have dropped the Under/Over total by .5 and offered up a nice $2.40(+140) for the over. Last time out over 5.5 paid $1.87(-113) was the favoured of the two. Now you can grab that same original 5.5 line but the over is paying $3.35(+235). Same teams, same place, but the line of 5.5 has gone from 1.87 to 3.35 (-113 to +235). Crazy value in that stat alone. The last game had 54 total shots on goal, all but one of the penalties were killed, and on top there weren't all that many penalties to begin with. I can't see game 1 being an indicator that these teams aren't going to score regularly.

PICK: NY RANGERS/TAMPA BAY OVER 5.5 @ $3.35(+235)

Sunday 17 May 2015

Mondays Best Bet! NRL

Monday Night Footy is here as Manly Sea Eagles face the Penrith Panthers.

Both teams have had their injury woes this season and their ladder positions reflect that. However, Manly welcome back and have been welcoming back key players to their squad in recent weeks and their charge for finals footy can begin. However, Penrith continues to be plagued by injury and resolve still seems a while away. The backs will be the difference in this one as Manly make scoring a challenging task for the visitors. Going to take some additional points off the Sea Eagles if you have access to a bookmaker offering Pick Your Own Line. Otherwise Manly -1.5 @ 1.93 is a great play.

PICK: MANLY SEA EAGLES -8.5 @ 3.35

MLB Best of the day 17/5/15

What on earth happened to the Dodgers yesterday? The Rockies started at the highest price you're likely to see in a head to head MLB market and managed a 6 run demolition of the best team in baseball.

Looking for the world to correct itself and the Dodgers to cruise to a win today. Kendrick is 1-5 in his last 6 starts for the Rockies and Colorado are 9-20 in their last 29. The Dodgers love the 4th game of a long series and are going to be keen to set the record straight..




PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS

Saturday 16 May 2015

AFL Best Bet 17/5/2015

The last time Port Adelaide faced the Lions, the Power got the job done by 113 points. Since then the story hasn't been any better for Brisbane, only winning one game this season against Carlton. Port will definitely be looking for a top 4 spot and getting a solid percentage boosting win against a probable wooden spoon squad is a must. Expect the Power to dominate on all ends of the field here and get that percentage up where it needs to be..

PICK: Port Adelaide Power 40+ @ 2.50

NHL Best Of The Day 5/16/15

Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final starts in New York after the Rangers came back from 3-1 to end the Capitals season.

The Rangers start heavy favourites against Tampa Bay given the confidence they carry into this one and the advantage playing in the Garden boasts.

However, Tampa Bay have been solid all season long and come into this one with far more rest than the Rangers. Additionally, TB are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings and 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Getting $2.23 for a white hot, more rested team that has no problem traveling seems a gift.

 The long 7 game series took its toll on the New York Rangers and will show tonight!


PICK: Tampa Bay Lighting - WIN @ 2.23

Best Bet of the Day AFL 16/5/15

AFL
GWS vs Carlton-

GWS are coming off a 10 point win against the reigning premiers and
find themselves in a position where finals are a possibility for the first time since their entrance to the AFL. As for Carlton, nothing could be going worse. The blues are off the back of a loss to one of the worst teams in the competition, Brisbane. Not expecting GWS to blow anyone out at this stage but can't see the blues coming out with 4 points in this one!

PICK: GWS (1-39) @ 2.20

Best of the Day Double 15/5/2015

Got two bests for today which should show a tidy profit....

NBA
 Hawks at Wizards -

Tonight the Hawks travel to Washington to try and close out the series. The line is at 2.5 favoring the Wizards and if you look at the numbers, this one should be an easy cover. The Wizards have been by far the better team this series and lost the last game off a last minute clutch play by the Hawks all WITHOUT John Wall. The Wizards defense has smothered the Hawks so far and the return of John Wall is only going to make things worse for Atlanta. Confident here.

If you have a PalmerBet account you can get all NBA lines at even money.

Pick Of The Day: Washington Wizards -2.5 @ 2.00

AFL
GWS vs Carlton-

GWS are coming off a 10 point win against the reigning premiers and

NBA Best Of The Day 14/5/15

Back from a short break.

Getting to the business end of the Conference Semis in the NBA. Tonight Houston tries to keep their season alive in a must win game 6 against the Clippers. The Clippers bench got beat up a bit last time out and the starters played as though they were happy to let Houston cruise so they can take them out back at home. That spells danger for the Rockets, but getting 8.5 points against a team that finished as the second seed in the West is crazy. The Rockets were heavily favored to win this series, yet the Clippers turned that on its head quickly. Blake Griffin has been nothing short of dominant and should feature heavily again. The Clippers are likely to get the home win and progress in the West, but the Rockets are the better paper team and have their backs against the wall. This one is a toss up, but you can get 8.5 points for your trouble...


PICK: Houston Rockets +8.5

Friday 1 May 2015

MLB Best of the day 1/5/15

The Nationals take on the Mets at Citi Field in New York Today.

Both teams are starting their best pitchers in this one and has a low scoring affair written all over it.

The Line is set at 6, which is about as low as you'll see it. But in honesty, I cant see this game hitting 7 runs with Scherzer and Harvey taking the mound.



Taking the under in this one!

PICK: NATS/METS UNDER 6 @ 1.90

Thursday 30 April 2015

NBA best of the day 30/4/15

The first rounds of the playoffs are getting into the deep end of the series and the Clippers travel San Antonio for a must win game 6.

This series has been somewhat hard to bet on.. The Clippers starting looking good taking out the Spurs on their home court by 9 points, but then lost their following home game. One thing that has been a more reliable trend is the scoring. The last three games have gone to 219, 218 and 219 points.

Expecting this one to follow high scoring trend.

PICK: Clippers/Spurs OVER 206 Points

Tuesday 28 April 2015

MLB best of the day 28/4/15

I really like the look of the Reds getting it done over the Brewers today. The Brewers sport a horrible record or 4-16 and along with that record have lost most of their games at home. The Reds are a little underrated at the moment off the back of uncharacteristic mistakes and think they deserve more credit than they get.

For added value I'm happy to widen the spread.





PICK: Cincinatti Reds 1.5 @ 2.29

Sunday 26 April 2015

MLB best bet 26/4/15

Going for some good value here.

The Mets are $2.32 to beat the Yankees today in what looks a coin toss of a game. I really think the Mets are the better team and so far are proving it with their 14-4 record. Coming up against the 10-8 Yankees, you have to love getting more that 2 to 1 in this one.

PICK: NY Mets @ 2.32

NBA Best 26.4.15

Best bet of the day comes from the NBA today..

The Celtics have been dominated by the Cavs in their series so far and today Cavs step on the court trying to complete the sweep.

At +7.5 points, I'm happy to take the Celtics here. The home team added with the pressure to keep their season going, the Celtics are going to be tenacious. We saw the impact this 3-0 situation carries last night when the Bucks beat the Bulls. Celtics might even win it outright at $3.70

PICK: Celtics +7.5 @ 1.95

Saturday 25 April 2015

NRL Best Bet 25/4/15

The South Sydney Rabbitohs are struggling without Adam Reynolds. They've won 1 of their last 4 without managing any real defensive potency.

Canberra seem to be traveling well at the moment and you can't deny the message they're sending the league.

A 10.5 head start is an absolute gift and whether the Rabbits win or not I can't seem them generating enough offense to blow out the Raiders.

PICK: Canberra Raiders +10.5 @ 1.92

Friday 24 April 2015

AFL Best Bet Saturday

Jumping on the Anzac clash today in a wet one.

Last nights game saw similar conditions and rain kept the total low as suspected.

Going to jump on that again in this one.  As all ANZAC days go, the ball will be hotly contested. Added the rain, there shouldn't be more that 167 points..

PICK: ESSvCOLL Under 197 @ 1.91

Thursday 23 April 2015

NBA Best Bet Of The Day 23/4/15

Tonight the venues change and 3 win-less teams get their chance to snatch a home court win.

For the Pelicans, they come up against a side that finished the regular season 67-15. The Warriors are a team that can play anywhere and I don't see the home court being enough to get within 5 of Golden State.During the season, Golden State shot an average 46% away from home and are overall rated the best traveling team statistically in the NBA.

Everyone seems to be getting ahead of themselves when talking about the Pelicans. They have been competitive, but that was when Golden State were just protecting and cruising to the win they knew they would get. Away from home they know they need to earn it, and that will be the catalyst that fires this team up!

 They are leaps and bounds a better team, take the away cover..

PICK: Golden State -4.5 @ 1.93

NBA Double - Best Bet 22/4/15

Nets @ Hawks

We're going to see the Hawks tighten the screws just a little more in this game and jump into a 2-0 series lead against a Nets team I still don't really believe deserve a play-off spot. The line in this one is probably about right but we can grab a steal on the under/over.

UNDER has been the trend in 4 of Brooklyns last 5
UNDER has also been the trend in 5 of the last 7 Atlanta home games.

While betting can be influenced by spirit, it is ultimately a science and the numbers don't lie.

I can't see these two teams averaging over 50 points a quarter in this one...

PICK: HAWKS/NETS Under 202.5 @ 1.93


Clippers v Spurs

Going to go ahead and jump on another stubborn spread by the bookies as it served us well last time.

The beauty of the playoffs is that game 1 works as a bible when considering betting on game 2. In this case the Spurs visit the Clippers again, and like Sunday, the line is -1.5. However, the Clippers rolled the Spurs and San Antonio had no answer. The absence of Thiago Splitter really hurt their offensive structure and he won't be featuring in this one either.

With the Clippers at home needing to soak up the advantage, look for this game to follow the trend..

PICK: Los Angeles Clippers -1.5 @ 2.00

NBA Player Special Cavs v Celtics 21/4/15

In addition to the best NBA bet of the day, it's worth checking out this player special.

Kyrie Irving is firing on all cylinders at the moment and I can see another big game from him tonight. Coming off the back of a 30 point game where Kyrie shot 21 times and a few at the line, it's obvious hes not low on confidence. He wants the ball and he's not scared to shoot it...

PICK: Kyrie Irving Over 23.5 points @ 1.95

MLB Best Bet 21/4/15

Houston Astros v Seattle Mariners



Huge pitching mismatch in this one that makes it very appealing for bettors.

Houston start this one as the underdog at 1.97 and with Collin McHugh pitching, I'll happily take those odds.

McHugh is 7-0 from his last 7 starts and owns a small 1.54 ERA from his 2 starts this season. His opposing pitcher will be Taijuan Walker, who is 1-5 in his last 6 and.... wait for it..... has a 17.21 ERA (Thanks to allowing 15 runs in 7 innings last start.)


Unless something changes overnight, how could you have the Astros star pitcher an underdog against Walker. Take the over quoted price on this and run...


PICK: Houston Astros @ 1.97

NBA Best Bet 21/4/15


 Game 2 in this series and the high scoring trend should continue.

Game 1 saw the total reach 226 points.

The shooting was at 44% for both teams.

Houston had 45 free throw attempts! But only scored 32 of them.

The mavericks had 99 field goal attempts!

With the intensely fasted paced play of both teams combined with the difficulty of stopping the depth of both sides, this one should find its way over the total again.

The Mavericks are being caught out with the conundrum of whether to stop Harden on the outside or protect the paint from the Dwight.

For Houston, there's Dirk.

PICK: Rockets/Mavs Total Over 215 @ 1.93

Monday 20 April 2015

NBA - Tuesday Double Best 20/4/15

 Milwaukee Bucks @ Chicago Bulls -

Loving the fact that this line hasn't changed since game 1. Same handicap, but armed with more knowledge. Didn't the handicappers learn anything from game 1? The Bulls are playing great basketball and are getting the job done on both ends of the court. On top, the Bulls are making a habit of covering the line following a win this season. After watching game 1 how could you expect the outcome to be any different? Keen to let it ride on the Bulls and cash in on the Bookies stubborn spread. On Saturday Butler and Rose looked a million bucks(mind the pun).

PICK: Chicago Bulls -7.5 @ 1.95

Pelicans @ Golden State


The only reason the Pelicans got anywhere close to Golden State in game 1 is because the Warriors jumped into cruise control. Everyone is talking about Anthony Davis being so good he could beat the Warriors himself on his day and how epic his fourth quarter was. In reality, it was pretty clear to see the Warriors lost interest around the time they hit a 25 point lead. Their shooting dropped from over 60% to about 30% and the defense walked back from those rebounds. Klay Thompson missed both free throws at one point!

Lets not confuse the quality of the New Orleans Pelicans against a cruising, "already won the game" Golden State.

In respect to the possibility of the same mentality, get on the half time line and bet on Golden State when they're at their best.


PICK: Golden State Half-time -7.5 @ 1.91

MLB Best Bet 21/04/15

Lets be honest, it should be very rare that the Milwaukee Brewers start as a favorite.. With only two wins this season you'd be crazy to take them at short odds. They face the Cincinnati Reds today. The Reds team are terribly underrated in my opinion. Their record doesn't reflect how good they've been considering a couple of tough losses by only one or two runs. Getting 2.07 is an absolute gift in this one. Obviously, baseball is a funny game, but when you're getting over 2:1 in a 2 horse race and your horse is clearly the better runner. How couldn't you? It's like playing blackjack when you've already got an Ace as your first card..

Monday's Best - NRL 20/4/15

South Sydney continue this week without Adam Reynolds. His absence cost the Rabbits last week as they blew a half time lead to lose by 18 points. The longer break with Monday fixture allows the Souths to rethink their game-plan and adapt from that learning curve. Cronulla have been impressive of late, but I think today we will see that come to an end and the Souths get back on track. G.I will be keen to run the pill and the absent Fifita bros will leave some headaches for the Sharks. I'm liking the huge price of 3.10 for the Rabbits to get up in a competitive one..

AFL Best Bet Sunday 18/04/15


The bookies are offering a whopping 54 point head start for the Bulldogs against Hawthorn today.


Hawthorn enter this one off the back of a substandard performance that saw them lose to the Bombers last week. The Hawks failed to find the midfield to forward transition in round 2 but will hope to correct that with the return of Sam Mitchell and Gibbo from injury.

In contrast, the Bulldogs have got off to a flyer at 2-0. Including the defeat of a Richmond side that were impressive yesterday. The successful start to the season can mostly be credited to the new fast paced, attacking style of football played by the Bulldogs under coach Luke Beveridge.

Yes, this one is in Launceston and that always spells trouble, but I'm keen on the Dogs keeping this one close..

PICK: Western Bulldogs +54 points @ 1.93

EPL Saturday Night 18/04/15

Manchester United look a great bet tonight. Although they play away at the Bridge, they've won 4 on the trot and look very hungry to take on a slumping Chelsea. Chelsea have been out of form since their Champions League campaign and not playing the same football we have been used to. Without Diego Costa to score goals, options will be tough for Chelsea. In contrast, United scored 4 against City last week. 1.95 is a nice price for the form Devils win or draw! If the Red Devils score first, you can be pretty comfortable that Chelsea won't manage two unanswered...

AFL SATURDAY BEST 18/4/15

Looking at the AFL for today's best..

I'm feeling very confident taking the UNDER total match points between Melbourne and Adelaide.

With rain forecast for the match and high wind you can expect this one to be a scrappy fixture. Wet footy is always going to be low scoring, added with the low potency of the Melbourne attack, UNDER 170.5 points looks an absolute gem today.



PICK: Under 170.5 @ 1.91

Looks like the night for the Cleveland Indians against the Twins tonight!

Corey Kluber should step up and stop the run of shaky pitching shown by the Tribe in this one.

As for the Twins, they'll be starting Mike Pelfrey, a pitcher you definitely can't trust to keep the bases empty.

Expect an aggressive batting performance from the Indians..

NBA - Bulls at Nets 13/04/15

Bookies have this one as a toss up.

The Chicago Bulls are finding their feet again after the return of Derrick Rose. Rose has been declared fit to play full minutes and is ready to unleash.

Last week, the Nets were absolutely rolling as they pushed for a play-off spot in the East.
But, last night the Nets were utterly woeful and failed to operate a decent offensive effort against the very mediocre Bucks.

Nets coming off a back to back against the rested Bulls, take the insignificant 1 point handicap.

PICK : Chicago Bulls -1 @ 1.93

MLB 13/4/15

The Giants have started this season with huge expectations. Yet, last seasons champions haven't shown the same dominance we've been used to. The giants are struggling for runs and San Diego seem to be lapping up the home field advantage. Off the back of a 10-2 win yesterday, I'm confident to keep the ball rolling and back the Padres in this one.

PICK : San Diego Padres @ 1.70

Sunday - Chinese Grand Prix 12/4/15

I'm sensing Lewis Hamilton gets picked off today starting as a $1.30 favorite.

Not crazy enough to tip against a Mercedes vehicle, but Nico Rosberg has been almost as quick as Lewi lately and here is his best window to dispute the title of number 1 Mercedes driver.

Of course it's hard to fault the Brit, but ill take long odds on Nico to pull it out in what should be a duel!

Pick : Nico Rosberg - Race Winner @ 4.30

MLB 12/4/15

Looking at the MLB for the best of today!

Keen to keep riding the red hot form of the Detroit Tigers and even take some runs off them for added value.




The Tigers offense seeing them like beach balls at the moment. Along with David Price keeping the runs stingy against the Indians, expect a nice cover against the handicap and the Tiges to move to 5-0.

Pick : Detroit Tigers -1.5 @ 2.55

The Big Return! 11/04/2015

Absolutely loving the look of the best bet today, getting the blog up and running on a winner!

Most try conversions - Parramatta Eels v Gold Coast Titans @ 1.85

Lets point out the only reasons you need to back this one.

The Titans have the #1 most conceded points this season.
The Titans have the #2 least "points for" this season.

They don't score, and they don't keep them out.

Parramatta cruises to win, scores more tries, scores more conversions.
