Ahhh, how sweet it is to have a full evening of pure BBL action to look forward to and to cast our eyes over some cheeky little wagers as well. A nice triple threat to go off this Friday night, and plenty of value as well! Particularly from one Mr Hill…

Let’s go off in alphabetical order on this one, starting with a second trip in less than a fortnight for Cheshire Phoenix to London Lions at Crystal Palace.

Injuries have plagued the Lions, so have had to call on the services of one Richard Scantlebury after a 12 year absence from the BBL. He steals away the crown of oldest BBL player from ‘Nix’s Shawn Myers, but with his athleticism and superb efforts so far this season, many have seen Myers roll back the years.

Doubts have been cast over whether Cheshire can compete well enough considering their depleted roster, but having had time to reflect on tough loss against Durham last Sunday, it could spark something off tonight in the capital.

Lions have been given extremely short odds on this one, and considering their injury troubles, there is mega value to be had at William Hill.

After a disappointing showing at home last weekend, Glasgow Rocks will be hoping to pick up a decent away victory against Manchester Giants.

With the addition of James Vanderbeken, it could breath fresh life into a side who need to be able to find just the extra level of stability to help secure them a play-off spot.

Giants, however, had their thunder stolen by rivals Sheffield, and will no doubt be smarting from those defeats in Trophy and Championship. A win at home prevents the head-to-head from being lost, which could be crucial for deciding that final eighth play-off spot.

For me, I think we’re about to see a Giant assault coming into 2013, and a strong performance in front of a home crowd for a whole forty minutes.

Last, but not least, those Tigers again.

With their average points loss being just an edge over 32, you would try and possibly work around that. However, apparently not in their eyes.

3/1, 10/3, 7/2, are just some of the odds they have been offering for their longest points spread here, and it keeps happening (note this Hills). I hate saying this, because I do see those guys putting their heart and soul out there into every play they try and run, but I’m here to talk money and value on this.

And value, yet again, is what I bring.

Now, I’m going to give you lowdown on this Mersey market mayhem, so bear with me.

Firstly, I don’t see Tigers winning, but it’s 11/1 best price at William Hill again if you feel lucky.

Secondly, you have two options, play safe or play the stats.

or

Question is, are you brave or do you want to risk it? This is almost 4/1 that they will win by statistics…

I leave that one for you to judge, as I do with ALL these tips. Your choice, your risk. Gamble responsibly, and don’t gamble what you can’t afford to lose (it’s better in your pocket that way!)

However, if you do – good luck!
