  1. Re: Tennis - January 31 - February 6

    fishy' date=' I have Anderson for the title, you have Mannarino. I'd go as far as to say that whoever wins tomorrow, will win the tournament. At least one of us is going to be in the money :ok[/quote'] Yep totally agree mate. Looks like our rivalry has taken a step up ;). Thought Mannarino would struggle today against Dancevic but he was impressive. Anderson is rightly the big favourite though. Should be an intersting match. :ok

    Nice call fishy did see your tip at the start of it - but did not know much about Manni so did not want to risk my hard earnt cash I won on the Oz open on this - wish I had now as he is 1.5 on Betfair now' date=' would probably lay the bet of if I was you to ensure a really healthy profit - good luck whatever you chose to do mate.[/quote'] Yeah didn't bottle it like I did with Li ;). Got his toughest match so far against big Kev tomorrow though so still looking into that game and deciding what I thinks best. Both were mightily impressive today though. Could lay him at 5.9 on Betfair as you say.
  3. Re: Tennis - January 31 - February 6 Was waiting for the overs price in that one but of course haven't got a Pinny account so still waiting to see what I can get. In the meantime taken one outright, and might take Tipsarevic with the outright later on. Adrian Mannarino to win SA Open- 11/1 Bet365- (2/10- E/W) The young Frenchman has shown some promise at the start of this season, already beating the likes of Clement, Monaco and Harrison, whilst troubling Gasquet and Almagro at stages in their respective matches. Last season he played the majority of his matches on the hard surfaces, and this is indeed where he had his best results, making 4 finals, and even winning 2 of these. Although these were only challenger events, as a youngster, this is extremely impressive and he managed to qualify for the US open main draw, and even managed a first round win against Riba. Many are tipping this guy as the new French superstar and this could be the year where he matures and comes on. If we look at the draw he faces, he's in the same half as Lopez. Schuettler and Anderson, hence the big odds. But in reality, chances are if all goes as expected, he'll play the Spaniard in the quarters, then one of the other two in the semis, with a chance of playing Tipsarevic most probably in the final. If he does indeed play Lopez in the quarters, he will certainly have a chance there. Lopez's form at the back end of last season and the start of this has been poor. Lost to Tomic last week in the Aussie Open and was also beaten by Anderson easily this year. With regards to Anderson and Rainer, Mannarino beat Anderson in their last meeting and would expect him to beat Schuettler these days. Think Adrian will look at his draw and know he can do some damage here. Think it's worth a punt at those odds though.

    No it's not risky but any match can be risky not just challengers. You picked a very risky match to. Bozoljac is no mug you know. He's one of those uprising croatians/serbians so it was risky match you picked. I don't consider a match like Harrison vs DeHeart would be as risky if I place a bet in-play on Harrison since he will win easily. Nothing to be as worried about as in a match between Kamke/Bozoljac
    Yeah I know. Bozolijac was all about his serve though, without his first serve he struggled. When I'm bored though I like to watch some challanger events too see some players I've never watched before. Was stupidity on my part for the bets.
  5. Re: Tennis - The Australian Open (17-30 January) Oh my goodness I hate myself sometime. Just had some in play 'fun' in the Kamke challenger match. Watched the first few games and thought he would cruise it so took the unders. He eventually lost that set 6-4 to which I chased the losses by taking a +1.5 handicap on his opponent. Kamke took the third set 6-3 so was all down to the final set. Thankfully his Serbian opponent just took it getting me off the hook. Forgot why in play betting is so risky, especially with the challengers. Sometimes I really am a complete nob, luckily got away with it.

    Was considering taking Li at 50-1 before the Clijsters match and before the draw was made. She's actually got a decent draw and if she plays well could easily reach the semis or better but she's down to 25-1. Although I feel she has a chance' date=' and feel Federer will get to the final at least, will hold back on the outrights and just concentrate on the individual matches.[/quote'] :puke
  7. Re: Tennis - The Australian Open (17-30 January) Jumping on this one early. Can only see the odds falling. David Ferrer vs Andy Murray- Murray -5.5 handicap- 4/5 Bet365- (7/10) Really think this is Andy's big chance now. He couldn't have asked for a better draw throughout really and with Ferrer beating Nadal, he will be licking his lips at a back to back AO final. Watched the first set against Dolgopolov and he looked okay but understand he went missing for parts of the match after that. Can't see him doing that against a more accomplished player like Ferrer in the semis of a grand slam. Murray was superb the match before against Melzer, breaking him at ease. Only worry is his first serve percentage is on the low side and with Ferrer's capability of returning most balls, he'll have to up this. With regards to Ferrer, watched him against Raonic where in the first set he was poor. Raonic was just relying on his serve and in the rallies, all the Spaniard had to so was play to the Canadian's backhand and more often than not he would make an error. Somehow though he managed to lose the first set, and then gave Raonic chances on his serve in the fourth set. If he gives these opportunities to the Scot, he won't make an unforced error. Have to concede I didn't catch any of his win against Nadal but from what I've read on the forum, Nadal wasn't anywhere near his best. Well regardless, the bookies have massively overrated Ferrer's chances here against a motivated Murray who's won both meetings on a hard surface, all be it one was indoor at the world championships last year. A break each set, maybe a 6-2 in one, with Murray serving a touch better than he has done, the handicap should be fine here.
