20+ years betting sports has taught me a lot. Not least of which, only bet large if you think you have a significant edge. Getting odds that are better than the actual probability is key too.

surfsup's Tips History

29 December 2025

02:40 SAC Kings @ LA Lakers

LA Lakers

Money Line

51 WIN

@1.17

Win

I will take on a pretty flawed Kings team here, who have only 3 wins out of 16 attempts on the road this season. The Lakers at home are in the top-10 toughest assignments in the NBA. Price about right here, so small stakes.

01:20 CHI Bears @ SF 49ers

CHI Bears

Money Line

180 WIN

@2.65

Lose

-180

I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection, which I will follow at what is an attractive price. The Bears are a nicely balanced team and are at least a 40% chance of a win here. So 2.65 is value odds.

CHI Bears - SF 49ers

Double Result

130 WIN

@4.90

Lose

-130

By taking this selection as well as the Bears to win the game, in effect I am taking the Bears to be ahead at halftime or full-time regulation. For me, based on form, this is very realistic.

Kyle Monangai (CHI Bears)

Anytime Touchdown Scorer

70 WIN

@2.45

Lose

-70

The 49ers are nothing special with their rush defense. This will give Montgomery, a Bears running back, every chance for a TD. A lot of the Bears' offense close to the goal line is through their running game, further enhancing Montgomery's chances.

CHI Bears by 13 18

Winning Margin

50 WIN

@14.50

Lose

-50

Of the Bears' 11 wins this season, 3 have come by 13 points or more. A large winning margin like this is not unrealistic for a nicely balanced Bears team, who will be up for this one.

28 December 2025

23:40 Otago W vs Canterbury W T20

Canterbury W

Win Match

290 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-290

I expect Canterbury to improve this season and Otago to go slightly backwards. Batting is quite even here; however, I think Canterbury is superior in bowling and that could be the difference.

23:40 Wellington W vs Auckland W T20

Wellington W

Win Match

57 WIN

@1.40

Win

The Champs barely raised a sweat winning their opening game. Back at home, another big performance is likely. Auckland are weaker than Wellington in their batting, and that should be the difference here.

22:07 MTL Canadiens @ TB Lightning

TB Lightning

Money Line

71 WIN

@1.71

Win

Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here at a solid price. I have more faith and trust in Tampa at home than the Habs on the road.

20:40 Luke Humphries vs Gabriel Clemens

Gabriel Clemens

Win Match 2-way

190 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-190

luke has shown me enough flaws the past 12 months to be opposed here at very low odds. this price should be no bigger than 7-1 here in my opinion so getting value odds.

Gabriel Clemens 3.50

Handicap 2-way

500 WIN

@1.62

Win

310

Clemens should be good for a set win here at least. On form, this is a reasonably tight matchup. It's not like Luke has been setting the darts world on fire the past 12 months, unlike Littler.

Over 4.50

Total Sets

500 WIN

@1.65

Win

325

On form, this match is reasonably tight, so a final score line that is anything other than 4-0 to either player is likely. This price is a tad high at 1.65 here.

Gabriel Clemens

Win 1st Set

53 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-53

Clemens has a decent first-set record so far at this event. He is fresh off his best performance for some time. This will give him great confidence to make a strong start here.

Gabriel Clemens to win 4-3

Leg Betting

60 WIN

@29.00

Lose

-60

This is a reasonably tight matchup, so a tight final scoreline is quite likely here. Luke has shown me enough flaws the past 12 months to be opposed here at very low odds.

Gabriel Clemens

Most 180s

70 WIN

@3.50

Win

175

This is another tight affair on who will be the winner here. 3.50 odds on a market that could easily go either way? Yes, please sign me up. Clemens is mainly a 20s player with his scoring.

20:05 Toulouse v La Rochelle

La Rochelle

To Win

70 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-70

Not without hope at attractive odds. The hosts have the edge in the forwards; however, the visitors can match them in the backs, which gives them a puncher's chance here.

La Rochelle 21.50

Handicap

194 WIN

@1.80

Lose

-194

While the hosts should win the forward battle, in the backs I think La Rochelle will be competitive. If this happens, they should be able to stay within this big number.

17:00 Toulon v Perpignan

Toulon

To Win

200 WIN

@1.02

Win

Big gulf in class between these two teams. Add the fact Toulon are at home and that Perpignan's away record in recent seasons is ordinary. This is a very likely result.

15:00 Exeter Chiefs v Leicester Tigers

Leicester Tigers

To Win

80 WIN

@3.20

Lose

-80

The forward battle is tight here and can even be won by the visitors. This gives them a solid chance at decent odds. 3.20 should be no bigger than 3.00 here.

Leicester Tigers 6.50

Handicap

160 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-160

This line is too high by at least 2 full points, in my opinion. The visitors will compete well in the forward battle and perhaps even win it, which will set up a competitive performance.

13:30 India W vs Sri Lanka W 4th T20 Match

Sri Lanka W

Win Match

494 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-494

Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 9-1 here. You would not know it so far in this series, but Sri Lanka does have a solid batting lineup that can test and trouble India. With this series already won, perhaps India will not be as focused as they should be and may rest players.

27 December 2025

23:40 Central Districts W vs Wellington W T20

Wellington W

Win Match

60 WIN

@1.40

Win

The defending champs should have too much class here for a pretty flawed CD team who are pretty weak with their bowling. Wellington have a potent batting lineup to hurt them.

22:00 Luke Littler vs Mensur Suljovic

Luke Littler

Win Match 2-way

160 WIN

@1.03

Win

Mensur is a shadow of his former self form-wise, which Littler will punish today. Littler is in a class above, and it should show today. At 1.03 this price is right, though, so small stakes.

21:30 HOU Texans @ LA Chargers

HOU Texans

Money Line

120 WIN

@2.10

Win

132

I think this highly rated Texans defense can give the Chargers, who are nothing special on offense, all kinds of problems tomorrow. The Texans have ramped up their level of play recently, nicely timing their high-level upturn to make a run at the Super Bowl. I think they can continue their momentum here.

17:00 Bayonne v Stade Francais

Stade Francais 6.50

Handicap

80 WIN

@2.10

Win

Don't really agree with this line and price. The visitors can win the forward battle, which will set up a competitive performance. Strong enough team named by the visitors here.

15:05 Gloucester v Saracens

Saracens

To Win

294 WIN

@1.55

Win

162

Quality teams often respond strongly when fresh off an ordinary or worse performance. I'm banking on that here for Saracens. Plus, they should win the forward battle, which will set up the win.

26 December 2025

13:30 India W vs Sri Lanka W 3rd T20 Match

Sri Lanka W

Win Match

106 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-106

Sri Lanka's strength is their batting. This gives them an outside chance today because India's bowling is not strong. This price is a tad high.

25 December 2025

18:00 DAL Cowboys @ WAS Commanders

DAL Cowboys

Money Line

56 WIN

@1.36

Win

I will take on a pretty flawed Washington team here, who defensively rank poorly in several stat categories. Dallas have a pretty potent offense to hurt them. This price should be no bigger than 1.30 here, so getting value odds.

24 December 2025

02:07 CGY Flames @ EDM Oilers

CGY Flames

Money Line

120 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-120

I like the amount of sharp money that is around for this selection. Plus, team news is not great for the home team here. Surely this is a game the Flames will really be up for.

CGY Flames 1.50

Puck Line

50 WIN

@1.53

Lose

-50

Very well-supported selection with the sharp money here, which I like and will follow at what is a solid price. Team news is not great for the Oilers here. Price a tad high.

00:07 MTL Canadiens @ BOS Bruins

MTL Canadiens

Money Line

207 WIN

@2.00

Win

207

I will take on a pretty flawed Boston team here, who defensively are pretty ordinary. This spells trouble against a pretty potent attacking game the Habs bring.

MTL Canadiens 1.50

Puck Line

50 WIN

@1.41

Win

I like what the Habs bring with their attacking game. This will test and trouble a Boston defense that is pretty ordinary. Price is a tad high here at 1.41.

23 December 2025

22:10 Josh Rock vs Joe Comito

Josh Rock

Win Match 2-way

300 WIN

@1.02

Win

Comito is the most flawed player left in the entire field. His recent form is very poor. His win in the first round was very much a fluke. Expect normal business to resume here. The class difference between these two players is massive.

19:20 Danny Noppert vs Justin Hood

Danny Noppert

Win Match 2-way

76 WIN

@1.25

Lose

-76

I will take the superior player to prevail here. I feel Danny will handle the pressure at key moments better and should have too much class here for a pretty flawed player in Hood. Price is a tad high here.

13:30 India W vs Sri Lanka W 2nd T20 Match

Sri Lanka W

Win Match

70 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-70

India's bowling is not overly strong. This gives the visitors a puncher's chance, as their batting is solid. Anytime in T20 a team's batting lineup is solid or better, there is a reasonable chance of success.

08:15 Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars T20

Adelaide Strikers

Win Match

180 WIN

@1.85

Lose

-180

I have more faith and trust in Adelaide at home here than the Stars away. The Stars, in recent seasons, have struggled to produce their best cricket, for the most part, in their away games. Price a tad high here.

01:15 SF 49ers @ IND Colts

SF 49ers

Money Line

137 WIN

@1.40

Win

I will take on a pretty flawed Colts team here, who are down on key players and not strong in key positions. The 49ers have won four in a row. The Colts have lost four in a row.

IND Colts - SF 49ers

Double Result

77 WIN

@4.70

Lose

-77

Despite the Colts being down key players right now, they are still at home and do have a decent first-half record this season and in recent seasons. In the second half, the class of the superior team should take over.

Brian Robinson Jr. (SF 49ers)

Anytime Touchdown Scorer

53 WIN

@3.80

Lose

-53

The Colts are not great at stopping the run (rushing), which will give Robinson, a 49ers running back, a decent chance for a touchdown. This price is a tad high at 3.80.

IND Colts Under 19.50

Team Points 2-Way (Home)

56 WIN

@2.05

Lose

-56

Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here. The Colts have issues on offense at key positions, including quarterback.

22 December 2025

22:00 New Zealand vs West Indies

New Zealand

Draw No Bet

79 WIN

@1.10

Win

The stuffing was knocked out of the Windies in the second Test. Their batting is struggling with NZ conditions and the NZ pace attack. In the last game of the tour they may already have one foot on the plane home.

21:10 Luke Humphries vs Paul Lim

Paul Lim

Win Match 2-way

57 WIN

@26.00

Lose

-57

Luke has shown me enough flaws the past 12 months to be opposed here at very low odds. If he is off his game, which does happen from time to time, anything is possible.

Luke Humphries to win 3-2

Leg Betting

53 WIN

@21.00

Lose

-53

This price should be no bigger than 18-1 here; I'm getting much better than that. If Luke is off his game, which has happened a few times in the past 12 months, then this has every chance.

15:40 James Wade vs Ricky Evans

James Wade

Win Match 2-way

70 WIN

@1.44

Lose

-70

Wade is more consistent with his game and likely to handle the high-pressure moments better. Evans can be brilliant at times but lacks a consistent high level of play.

14:40 David Munyua vs Kevin Doets

Kevin Doets

Win Match 2-way

67 WIN

@1.10

Win

I will take the superior player to prevail here. Even if the match is going the way of Munyua, I feel he will have trouble executing at key moments to seal the deal.

13:40 Wessel Nijman vs Gabriel Clemens

Gabriel Clemens

Win Match 2-way

294 WIN

@5.00

Win

1176

I have this a more even matchup than the bookies. Wessel has shown me enough flaws in the past 12 months to be opposed here at low odds against a capable enough player.

Gabriel Clemens 1.50

Handicap 2-way

460 WIN

@2.63

Win

750

Wessel has shown me enough flaws the past 12 months to be opposed here at low odds. He's not the most mentally stable guy either ??" another negative. Price and line a tad high here.

Over 3.50

Total Sets

50 WIN

@1.55

Tough to see a whitewash for either player given the evenness of this matchup. A close final scoreline is likely. These odds are a tad generous here.

Gabriel Clemens

Win 1st Set

80 WIN

@2.62

Win

130

Clemens has a solid first-set record over the course of his darts career. Wessel's form over the past one to two years does not justify being so short in so many markets in this match.

Gabriel Clemens to win 3-2

Leg Betting

70 WIN

@12.00

Lose

-70

This is a tight matchup on form, so a close final scoreline would not be a surprise to me. Wessel has shown me enough flaws of late to be opposed at low odds here.

Gabriel Clemens

Most 180s

53 WIN

@2.80

Lose

-53

The 180 percentage per match between these two players in the past few years is tight, giving 2.80 odds appeal here. Clemens is mainly a 20s player with his scoring.

01:20 NE Patriots @ BAL Ravens

NE Patriots

Money Line

79 WIN

@2.65

I like the amount of sharp money around for this selection, which I will follow at what is an attractive enough price for a superb road team this season who is a perfect 6-0.

NE Patriots - BAL Ravens

Double Result

50 WIN

@4.90

By taking this selection, as well as the Pats to win the game, I am, in effect, taking the Pats to be ahead at either halftime or full time. For me, based on form, this is very realistic.

50 WIN

Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow here at what is a decent enough price. It should be no bigger than 4.50 here, in my humble opinion.

232

This is the most common winning margin in NFL history. The Pats have been a beast on the road this season, with a 6-0 record ??" the best in the league. Price a tad high here.

01:07 VGS Golden Knights @ EDM Oilers

EDM Oilers

Money Line

400 WIN

@1.77

Win

308

I prefer the Oilers' preparation for this game. It has been superior to that of the Knights. The Oilers have the attacking game to hurt Vegas, who have been shaky defensively lately.

EDM Oilers -1.50

Puck Line

230 WIN

@2.80

Lose

-230

Don't really agree with this price. It should be no bigger than 2.75 here. The Oilers have a potent attacking game right now, which can hurt Vegas, who have been underwhelming defensively of late.

00:07 MTL Canadiens @ PIT Penguins

PIT Penguins

Money Line

300 WIN

@1.91

Win

273

Good deal of sharp money around for this selection, which I like and will follow at what is a solid price for a more-than-capable home team, fresh off an average home performance.

PIT Penguins -1.50

Puck Line

170 WIN

@2.90

Lose

-170

Don't really agree with this price. The sharp money suggests a big performance here from the hosts, who are fresh off a poor home performance. I expect a strong response here.

00:07 TOR Maple Leafs @ DAL Stars

TOR Maple Leafs

Money Line

220 WIN

@2.80

Lose

-220

I expect a strong response from the Leafs here. They are fresh off a performance they were not proud of. The Leafs are a capable enough team, especially attacking-wise. Price is a tad high here.

00:07 WPG Jets @ UTA Mammoth

UTA Mammoth -1.50

Puck Line

50 WIN

@3.10

Lose

-50

Just a small one here as low confidence on this one. However, this price is a tad high at 3.10. I have it no bigger than 3.00 here. Utah save most of their big performances for their home games.
