NBA Betting: San Antonio and Cleveland the good things this weekend

Nick Shiambouros talks us through the events of the last few days and the upcoming matches in the ever-exciting world of the NBA. “I think the Raptors will rise to the challenge and take care of the Warriors. Golden State has had a shocking season and is only playing for pride – I make the Raptors my best bet of the week.” The Utah Jazz thrashed the Golden State Warriors 128-104 with yet another dominant display on Wednesday evening. The Jazz came out firing and had the game in safe keeping at the half

MLB National League Preview: Phillies going for three in a row

The 2010 baseball season starts on Sunday April 4 .Below is a preview of the National League with each team’s current World Series odds. “Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers are in position for another crack at making the post season. This is a team that can score plenty of runs and has quality pitching. Manager Joe Torre has done a wonderful job with this team and another good season is on the cards. They could be the value bet at these odds.” Philadelphia Phillies ( 8.0 ) This team is bidding to make the World Series for the third straight year after coming up short against the Yankees in six games in 2009. The Phillies are one of the elite teams in baseball and have an abundance of talent. They added pitcher Roy Halladay to the rotation this winter but traded Cliff Lee to Seattle. There is no doubt in my mind that they will be in contention once again this year.

NBA Weekend Betting: Playoff pressure can inspire pair of wins

Nick Shiambouros is concentrating his efforts on teams that need to win with the playoffs just around the corner “Chris Bosh is still relatively unknown outside the NBA and this immensely talented individual is fully aware that a good playoff run by Toronto will elevate his marketability no end. I am anticipating a big effort from Bosh and company at Chicago and while this is bound to be a hotly contested affair my money will be on Toronto .” Miami Heat crushed the Chicago Bulls 103-74 with a dominant display at the Chicago Center on Thursday. This was one of the best performances I have seen all year long from this Miami rotation

XY Factor – Wednesday 17 March CORAL CUP

The XY Factor has a MASSIVE priced selection at Cheltenham on Wednesday…. Today’s Race: Cheltenham 4.00 Today’s Bet and current Betfair price: 2 point win and 2 point place CHICAGO GREY [80] Yesterday’s Return: -8.00 Running Return (March) -33.85 VERDICT: CHICAGO GREY trading at odds of around [80] in the ultra-competitive Coral Cup comes out top-rated. The top weight has been off the course since beating Mourad at Thurles in December on testing ground. Whilst the bulk of his form has been on soft ground – it would be a mistake to assume the grey can’t handle the quicker conditions – he won his maiden on ground similar today. His trainer is also in top form.

Irish Racing: Saturday 13th February

Timeform’s Billy Nash gives you three recommendations for racing in Ireland on Saturday… “It is fair to say that Muirhead hasn’t won as many races as one with his talent should have” Gowran 2:05 – Win Back – Oscar Time Oscar Time is reverting to hurdles having captured the valuable Paddy Power Chase (Handicap) at Leopardstown on his most recent outing and is likely to take plenty of beating. He ran his best race to date over hurdles when third to Chicago Grey and Smoking Aces in a 2m conditions hurdle at Thurles on his penultimate outing and has plenty of form at around this trip.

Oklahoma City Thunder: A team on the rise

Impressed by the play of Kevin Durant, Nick Shiambouros puts together a betting plan for Oklahoma for the rest of the month “Kevin Durant worked very hard on his defensive skills during the summer and he is reaping the rewards now. The Thunder are giving up around nine points less per game than they were last year and all the credit must go to Durant. This player was born with huge amount of natural talent and now he is making the most of it.” The Oklahoma City Thunder crept in to eighth place in the Western Conference after beating the Atlanta Hawks 94-91 on Monday night.

NBA Betting: Arenas scandal shakes Wizards

The Gilbert Arenas scandal has rocked a side which Nick Shiambouros had high hopes for at the beginning of the season. Now they could be heading for a major slump. “Arenas’ behaviour is inexcusable but it would be a great shame if this incident ended his career.” Before the start of the season I thought the Washington Wizards had an outside chance of making the play-offs
