Torque got a reaction from vikki37 in Corona Tennis Off-Season News
I think it'll be called. Let's see. Wimbledon set the precedent so it's easier for other Slams to follow if that's what they decide to do. The Ryder Cup golf was cancelled yesterday and I think that will have an impact on what's decided, that plus it's looking like Nadal wont play. If other players follow plus there can be no spectators I can't see that the organisers will want to play a diluted version of the tournament.

Torque got a reaction from Fader in Workday Charity Open Picks
Chin up @Fader you know how it works by now. Big prices always mean big disappointment if they don't come off - either because you didn't get a run for your money or because they tease by going close. On the flip side, when they deliver it's a great feeling but that's always going to be rare due to the prices. Hopefully something drops for you this week

Torque reacted to waggy in 2020 Finish continued
Great post Torque. When Bremen scored their goal in injury time I thought that was it. Extra time seems to be getting longer and longer and sometimes it works in your favour but not this time. Funnily enough this doesn't come in my top ten of bizarre finishes over the years. I should write a book on my bets over the last fifty plus years but nobody would believe some of them. You should be into sports journalism Torque, even I found your write-up exciting until I realised I had lost the bet.

Torque got a reaction from vikki37 in 2020 Finish continued
That game really illustrated the Highs and Lows of punting and how quickly things can change. Bremen took the lead very early and it looked as though that would be enough for the win with five minutes to go plus stoppages (High), then Heidenheim got an equaliser and with such little time left it looked as though it would be a draw (Low). Then a few minutes into injury time Bremen scored and surely that was going to secure the win (High), only for Heidenheim to be awarded and convert a penalty with almost the last kick (Low). Phew. That must have been exhausting if you were following it @waggy. Still, at least it wasn't one of your big bets

His Saturday column is available from around 8:00 on a Friday night. Usually considers a general topic then gives his bet of the week with detailed reasoning.

Torque reacted to kedbet in Corona Tennis Off-Season Betting
good job mate! katie has a great length in her groundstrokes. shaky vs montez, but already improved vs gamiz. hope she stays healthy and gets some matches under her belt. ps: well-intentioned advice to anyone. refrain from betting on seone mendez, she clearly threw her match today vs ivanova. she already played like this a few days ago vs khazaniuk. not sure what's wrong with her, but she wanted to be off court as soon as possible. playing serve and volley (into the net) on her own service games and going all-in on her returns.

Julia Grabher (1.06) to beat Irina Dshandshgava + Junior Alexander Ore (1.17) to beat Carter Bradford @ 1.24 with Betfair
saw both matches from dshandshgava vs antonitsch where she managed to win 4 games in 4 sets. the 18yo is just incredibly bad and grabher on the other side is the most experienced player at the austrian pro series. she won all 5 matches so far and she will also win this one. highest odds on the market, thank you very much for 6% return. at the international tennis series i'm going with junior alexander ore who is facing maybe the worst player of this starting field. bradford is a redshirt sophomore from the florida gulf coast university. he is 1-10 since joining this series about a month ago. in todays matchup he will be confronted with the most skilled opponent so far. ore has a great lefty serve and is overall on a way higher level. under normal circumstances i can't even see him losing a set.

Good luck @kedbet! I'm still waiting for the right moment to get back on track, these short-odds exhos just don't feel right given the limits and everything.

Maybe he's trying to set records for double faults in all categories - career, season, grand slam, exhibition formats. It's hard not to think that way with the amount of double faults he serves. 12 just now in two short sets.

Nice one @kedbet that was almost a lock. 5 double faults so far from Sasha heading into the decider which is another ridiculous number considering how few service games he's had. Not sure who his coach is now but there's no way I'd coach him because he's making things unnecessarily difficult for himself. The amount of double faults he serves is completely unacceptable and means that he's giving his opponents a handicap start every time he plays. To me it's really simple - if you double fault you 100 percent lose the point. Even if you hit a powder puff second serve there's a chance of winning the point, even if it's only one percent. From that perspective your second serve has to go in and really should be going in nearly every time if you're a professional tennis player.

The podium changes again and Marmalade got a bit jammy with a 33/1 winner at Ascot

Yeah, most likely double digits. So random this event, that's the problem.

Torque reacted to neilovan in Premier League Predictions > Jun 17th - 22nd
Everyone of these guys has a fancy new hair cut. I thought visits to/from the barber were banned in the UK ?
Grealish had some weird braid/pig tail combination going. Way too much time and money :0

Spurs v Man United
I think both teams will be sluggish, and it will be a dull, slow, first half. I think the highest scoring half (second) may be the way to go here at slightly better than even money. I have a feeling United shade the 2nd half , after a 0-0 first half. HT draw FT United at 9/2 looks solid.
Maybe my predictions are slightly biased, as I can't much stand Mourinho. Lets see who he throws under the bus after this game?
He started the excuses early, saying Spurs can't compete financially...

I see your point but Thiem is a tennis machine. If there's tennis to be played, chances are he'll be there.

I'm sure you'll crack it eventually @Fader It's a shame Nijman hasn't been playing recently - he was one of the more reliable players to bet on. Wonder what happened to him.

If you're a professional tennis player surely you can get your serve over the net on a consistent basis. For me anything less than 3 out of 4 - 3 out of 5 at a push - is inexcusable.

Because the tennis for the next few weeks (until August 3 hopefully!) will probably be still more about live betting if anything, I'd just like to share some thoughts here.
- Alexander Zverev hasn't done anything to fix his serve over the break, double faulting all over the place against Lajovic
- Dshandshgava is a promising talent from Austria, 18 years old, can certainly show up on the main tour soon
