Lack of humility? Or a lack of trust from fellow forum posters?

Thanks for bringing me into another argument about your posts. I was not questioning your lumility, mearly your common sence and grasp of basic probability theory:ok Well done on your decent good luck long may it continue:clap

I think that proves my point:lol:lol:lol

[Tennis: Australian Open 2012]

Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012

Either your being pedantic or simply shorted sighted? "They" ... the bookmakers are offering such desirable odds because the "softcore" tennis punters of this World are lumping money on her, they hear a commercial name and they back it, the people who actually follow tennis all year around on the other hand know better. ;) Its the same for when Djokovic became injured, the commentators on EuroSport over-reacted and lots of people watching started backing Ferrer, the odds for Novak to win became juicy and the ones you knew Novak as having the heart of lion backed him and it paid off. If Sharapova beats Azarenka, for me, that will be as big, if not bigger than Murray ousting Djokovic. ;)

Yeah with the amount of money traded on tennis markets I'm sure they are so naive:lol. It's a quick retraction from 'not having a chance' to being a bigger upset than Murray ousting Djokovic.

Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012

Sharapova vs Azarenka - Azarenka to Win @ 4/5 with Titan Bet - 5 Points Not a chance here for Maria, she can shreek all she likes she isn't going to stop the double faults. Azarenka doesn't make the number of errors Kvitova does and has an attacking game to boot, she's also unlike Kvitova against Maria, going to capatalize on her chances. Nailed on for me, nerves in her first slam final? Ugh, nah, she dealt with the semi final and the Australian crowd comprehensively, don't see why this will be any different, against an extremely dodgy server atm in Sharapova.

A bit uncouth and for that I agoligise, but posts like this are just drivel. If it's nailed on and Maria doesn't have a chance, why are they even offering a market? Or for that matter why are they even bothering to play the match?:unsure

[£50,000 in a year system]

Re: £50,000 in a year system Fine you'll need to hit at least 787 and given the horrific odds bookmakers off at this sort of price I sugest you have no chance.

[£50,000 in a year system]

Re: £50,000 in a year system Assume you are doing this on Betfair and paying 4% commission you would need to hit 819 1.01's going all in every time. As you said you won't be risking it all towards the end you'll need even more, so probably more like 1000. Add to that I've got no idea if you've got an edge in selecting 1.01's but I imagine you don't. Obviously you have a chance, it's probably something like 1 in 50000 of pulling it off;)

Re: F1 2011 Season Thread (Inc. Outrights)

Sport	Motorsport
Event	German Grand Prix
Selection	Webber to win
Strength	10/10
Date	24/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bwin @ 3.60
Reasoning	I think Webber is worth a bet here. He's got pole and Hamilton between himself and team mate Vettel. Webber needs a win here, if he's got any chance of championship or even being allowed to push Vettel for the rest of the season. He's looked very quick this weekend and I think the price for a win is reasonable. I heard earlier this weekend that the Pirelli tyres are becoming more durable, which is better for Webber as it is helping his driving style. I'll take a chance on him to win in an interesting race at the front.

Sport	Motorsport
Event	German Grand Prix
Selection	Di Resta to finish in the points
Strength	10/10
Date	24/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	William Hill @ 2.75
Reasoning	I like di Resta, he's impressed a lot this season, and I think this price is good on him getting into the points. He's starting 12th, but has shown some reasonable pace this weekend and all season has shown some good race craft. Reasonable price I feel.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Vinci v Begu
Selection	Vinci -1.5 sets
Strength	10/10
Date	14/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Ladbrokes @ 2.75
Reasoning	I'm going to have a go on Vinci this evening. She won Bucarest last week beating Begu in the final in 3 sets. She seemed to give up on the middle set as we saw a lot of players do during the week as they struggled in the hot conditions. Now playing at home I expected a stronger performance and should be able to take this without the loss of a set.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Volandri v Haider-Maurer
Selection	Volandri -1.5 sets
Strength	10/10
Date	14/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	William Hill @ 2.62
Reasoning	Volandri seems clearly the better on clay here. He benefitted from Robredo retiring but before that I thought he was playing pretty well. When he's on he's got a much higher level than Haider-Maurer, who beat Kukushkin in round 1 who isn't much on clay. Volandri has beaten Haider-Maurer twice this year on clay, both times comfortably. Can't see anything different here.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Ramirez Hidalgo v Ryderstat
Selection	Ramirez Hidalgo -1.5 sets
Strength	10/10
Date	14/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 2.37
Reasoning	Ramirez Hidalgo is a class or 2 above here. He won for me in round against Golubev, took 3 sets but he played well throughout. Ryderstat is a very average local player, and is very opposable. He beat Max Gonzalez in round which was a surprise, but I can't see him pulling that off twice and Ramirez Hidalgo should be comfortable here.

[Tennis - 11-17 July]

Re: Tennis - 11-17 July Like a few tomorrow, agree with the previous thoughts.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Montanes v Andujar
Selection	Montanes
Strength	10/10
Date	13/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	William Hill @ 1.72
Reasoning	I rate Montanes quite a bit higher and like this price. He hasn't been too good this year but had a decent run at the French, and a good win over Simon in round 1. He showed some good fight in that match and looks up for it this week. Andujar I don't like too much, he won Casablanca earlier this year beating Montanes on the way when Montanes started around 1.50. I'd have him closer to 1.60 for this match, so will take this price.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Giraldo v Chardy
Selection	Chardy
Strength	10/10
Date	13/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 2.52
Reasoning	Don't understand this price at all, I have Chardy more like 1.90. I backed him today and he won pretty well, so pretty happy to back him again. Girlado got a good win over Melzer, but somethimes his effort levels leave a lot to be desired. Girlado is dangerous, but I have these guys as very even, so this price looks very good.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Garcia-Lopez v Kubot
Selection	Garcia-Lopez
Strength	10/10
Date	13/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.72
Reasoning	Kubot has had some good runs the past few months, but as I've said before I'm not a fan. I think he has a very average game and when not serving great is very vunerable. He didn't serve well in round 1, and Garcia-Lopez can take advantage. GGL is all about confidence, and he should get some from the win over Stepanek in round 1, a guy who plays a very similar game to Kubot. Solid price I feel.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Suaraz Navarro v Parra Santonja
Selection	Suaraz Navarro
Strength	10/10
Date	13/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Stan James @ 1.90
Reasoning	Suaraz Navarro has really suffered with injury problems the last couple of years, after looking like a top player. However, she seems to be getting it together a little and had a good win in round 1. She's several levels above Parra Santonja when at her best and this sort of price is very playable.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Ramirez Hidalgo v Golubev
Selection	Ramirez Hidalgo
Strength	10/10
Date	13/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Betfred @ 1.80
Reasoning	Golubev now on a 15 match losing streak, it has to end sometime, but it's really hard to back him before it does. He's coming here after playing Davis Cup in Argentina and might just be here to party. Ramirez Hidalgo is an old school clay courter and can be very solid. He's got a lot of experience and I think he'll take this. Form is patchy but not too bad, and he should have enough here.

Re: Tennis - 11-17 July

Sport	Tennis
Event	Errani v Kulikova
Selection	Kulikova
Strength	10/10
Date	12/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Ladbrokes @ 4.33
Reasoning	Another risk in WTA I'm willing to trake, especially getting pretty much best price at a 1 ball bookie. Errani retired last Friday in Budapest after suffering really bad cramps in the heat. Now she's had a few days to recover, and should be fine, but it's not ideal prep. She comes here for home tournament that she has won before, but with her physical condition perhaps she feels more pressure and more stress, especially if the match is close. Kulikova is a good player, she was doing really well last year before missing big chunks of the season with injury problems. She has struggled to recover that level this year, but this is a good chance to get a big win.

Sport	Tennis
Event	Chardy v Kamke
Selection	Chardy
Strength	10/10
Date	12/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Stan James @ 1.61
Reasoning	I like Chardy in this match. Kamke is playing a weird schedule, playing on clay in Germany 2 weeks ago, on grass in Newport last week making semis and playing Saturday, then back to Germany for the clay here. That's not ideal and might be a factor in this match. I like Chardy, although he often disappoints. He won this tournament in 2009 (lost R1 last year) so should have some good memories. He's got enough to take Kamke on any clay court, and with a few situational factors in his favour I'll take him at this price.

Re: Tennis - 11-17 July Hi, for me it's just a stake for the sports-punter.com competition. I always tend to stake the maximum that they allow. For me it should be considered as level stakes. I know other people on the forum use it as a strength rating.

Event	Hradecka v Zahlavova
Selection	Zahlavova
Strength	10/10
Date	11/07/2011
Bookmaker/Price	Bet365 @ 5.00
Reasoning	I think this is worth a risk. It's WTA on clay, and anything can happen! Zahlavova is having a bad run, but I've always thought she was a decent player and can turn it around. A very heavy loss to A Bondarenko is a worry but still I'll take the risk. Hradecka is higher ranked but I don't think she's much better than Zahlavova, and also she lost as a very big favourite first round last week.
