The Big Dog is looking to close 2015 with a third straight day in profit, after two correct tips in Denver rescued yesterday from a bad start. The Pistons struggled from the outset, against a Knicks side who were allowed to get into their offence… and the Rockets let a 71-56 halftime lead slip, as …

2015 Round 13 A-League Preview & Bets
The Christmas round was a good one for us here, of the five selections three landed, and the other two were $7.00 and $9.00 long shots, so as expected they didn’t come in, but still think they were over the odds. Pretty standard set of match results last week, with the favourites winning all but one …
NBA Tips 27 December 2015
Christmas may have been pleasant… but Boxing Day was a dirty day for The Big Dog. Dwayne Wade scored one point less than required, after shooting 7/20 from the field and 5/9 from the line, while the Thunder and Spurs disappointed and the Curry/LeBron scoring combo fell well short of expectation, in a game where …
NBA Tips 26 December 2015
Tomorrow might be all about the Boxing Day Test, the Sydney To Hobart yacht race and recovering from today’s over-indulgence, for most people Down Under… but for The Big Dog and other basketball fanatics, it’s all about the NBA Christmas Day extravaganza. Five back-to-back games and over 12 hours of virtually non-stop action, on easily …
2015 Round 12 A-League Preview & Bets
It was a pretty quiet round last week with three of the five matches ending in draws, which usually doesn’t satisfy anybody’s football appetite, but there was one thing that grabbed headlines, the Melbourne Derby. Melbourne City had been in scintillating form lately against lesser sides, but everyone was eager to see how they would go …
NBA Tips 22 December 2015
The Big Dog’s run of frustrating outs continued, as the Suns and Raptors (with a not-so-special mention to Kyle Lowry) unceremoniously removed themselves from his Christmas card list! With match results continuing to resist consistency, it’s back to the Total Points markets we go. As it happens, the lowest Over/Under mark is 196, on a …
NBA Tips 21 December 2015
As expected, fatigue got the better of the Chicago Bulls, after their quadruple-overtime marathon against the Detroit Pistons. After a slow start, the New York Knicks lead at the first break and were never challenged, easily covering the small line of -1.5 and registering a much-needed win for The Big Dog. Monday presents a few …
NBA Tips 20 December 2015
Hard times continued for The Big Dog, on a Saturday where many an experienced tipster could be found rocking back and forth, in the fetal position. Nothing we can do but put that behind us and move on. Only five games on offer today but there’s definitely enough to keep The Big Dog interested. Chicago …
2015 Round 11 A-League Preview & Bets
So Round 10 is all wrapped up (just) and there weren’t many surprises in it. Nearly all the favourites won, but there were a couple of teams that really reinforced their prominence in this league. The round opened on Friday with Adelaide trying to get their second win for the season against Sydney, after only getting …
NBA Tips 18 December 2015
After going 1-2 yesterday, The Big Dog is officially 16-16-1 on the season. What time could be better to kick off another winning streak? With only three games on the menu, the pickings may be slim… but two of those games present options worth looking at. With a big Saturday looming, it’s time to build …
