    ReasoningLast round of Euroleague. Everything is decided in Group F. Cska Moscow and Tauceramica progeressed to the next round and L.Rytas and Bamberg didn't. Now, this will be a game between Bamberg who still didn't win (0-5) and L.Rytas that has 2wins and 3losts. During the "regular part" of Euroleague Bamberg has 7-7, but they also had easier group that Rytas, they had teams like Olimpija, Strasbourg and out of form Aek. On the other side, Lietuvos Rytas was one of the best teams in Group B having eight wins and six losts. Also, in Group B played basketball giants like Maccabi, Efes Pilsen, Barcelona, Olympiacos, Cibona, Milano and Prokom Trefl. This was one of the hardest groups in regular season. There is a class diference for me looking at Bamberg and Lietuvos Rytas. Of course, in Rytas's favour. Firs match Rytas won easily 79-67. Rytas has great roster led by Javtokas, Jankauskas, House, Stelmahers and they are very unhappy not to battle with Tau for a second spot as they lost it on a point difference. They lost with seven points difference in Spain but won only with two at home. Now, I believe that they will be fully motivated to win against Bamberg. Bamberg who is for sure the worst team in this part of Euroleague. Unoftunatelly, Stelmahers will be out for this game but I still strongly believe in Rytas. GL!

    ReasoningBig game today. Very great game expeceted and very, very nervious. Thats why I expect under points here. When it comes to very important games we ussually see low number of points. They already played three times this year and over 146.5 happend only once. Also, during this part of the season they played in Istanbula and Efes won 63-69. I expect another very close and very nervious game ending with under points. GL!

    ReasoningOk. Ferrer won against Sebas Grosjean yesterday but he didn't deserved it. Grosjean was leading 4-1 in the second set and finally was a geinus to ruin it. Still, Grosjean had a chance to recover in third set, but he just was a "talent" to ruin win like that. For me, Ferrer is not the best player on hard and I will continue betting against him. On the other hand, Olivier Rochus is in a great form. He won yesterday against very good Coria. But, latelly Olivier Rochus is even better. He was amongst the players who took a set against great Roger Federer. Still, they had two matches on hard and Olivier took both easily. 2004 French Open 128 Clay (O) D.FERRER 1-6 1-6 3-6 2006 Auckland QF Hard (O) O.ROCHUS 6-2 6-0 2006 Rotterdam 16 Hard (I) O.ROCHUS 6-4 6-4

    SelectionGrosjean to win

    Bookmaker/PriceBetfair @ 1.60 (Back)
    ReasoningGrosjean is 10-5 this season and in pretty good form. Today, he should have no problems beating David Ferrer. Grosjean started this season with losts against Moya and El-Aynaoui, but he improved a lot at Australian Open. Finally, he reached quarterfinals losing to Nicolas Kiefer in five. After AO he played only in Marseille and lost in semifinal against Mario Ancic in three. Previously, he won against Mofils, Youzhny and Korolev. In Indian Wells Grosjean did great again. But, he had no luck at all as he faced up against Nadal in third round and lost, of course. Before this match he won against very solid Vliegen and Xavier Mallise. He has a very good draw here, and if he wants to do something than he musn't have any problem defeating David Ferrer who is typical claycourter. Ferrer is 7-7 this year. He has no better results in last two months. In fact, he has only one win against Ivo Minar in Rotterdam. In second round he went off by Rochus Olivier. After this tournament he played in Doha and Indian Wells but lost both in first round to Schuettler and Kohlschreiber. In second round of Miami Nasdaq Open Ferrer won Montanes 6-1 6-1, but this is a relfection of Montanes's poor play on hard. All in all, Grosjean has much better results recently, and is better hardcourter overall, full stake on his win.

    SelectionBlake to win
    Strength10/10

    Bookmaker/PricePinnacle Sports @ 1.39 (Back)
    ReasoningThis should be a very good game to watch. Blake is having another typical American season on hard. Which means that he is playing great, taking every match very seriously in order to improve his tennis. Finally, in first round he won against Argentinian Berlocq 6-0 6-0, and Berlocq won in first round David Young 6-0 6-0. Still, Blake is 19-5 win/loss record this season having wins at Las Vegas and Sydney Open and being a runner-up in Indian Wells last week. For sure he will try to win this one. On the other hand, Nieminen is also good player, but his performance against veteran player Mark Philippoussis was pretty unconvincing. Nieminen made a good perfomance in Indian Wells as he reached quarter finals defeating names like Mayer, KOhlschreiber, Safin but he lost to Paradorn Srichaphan. Blake is playing in front of his audience, he finally reached Top 10 last week, and I believe he will take this match more easy than expected. Also, h2h is in James's favour: 2003 Long Island QF Hard (O) J.BLAKE 6-4 2-6 3-6

  6. Re: ATP/WTA Miami Sport Tennis Event Henman vs Greul Selection Greul to win Strength 10/10 Date 27/03/2006 Bookmaker/Price Betfair @ 4.10 (Back) Reasoning Big value here. Yes, Tim Henman won Marat Safin 6-3 6-3 and he won against Lleyton Hewitt 7-6 6-3, but he doesn't looks any better than earlier this year. He has a habit of losing to much lower ranked players after winnings against the big ones. Match against Safin was very strange. It started after the midnight and Marat was very nervious during the whole game which isn't strange for him. After Henman took 4-3 lead Safin broke his racket and it was clear that Henman will take this easily. Also, match against Hewit... It isn't very hard to win against Hewitt these days. His serve is just poor having less than 45% of the first serve, and still Henman struggled a lot in the first set. On the other hand, Simon Greal comes from qualifiaction round where he already took my money against Ricardo Mello. Greaul has wins this year against Srichaphan, Hrabty, Pashanski, Schuettler, Karlovic, Phau, Vicente, Fish, Vik and Henman isn't better than these guys. Also, Greaul made a great perfromace here beating solid Hrbaty in two and defeating Srichaphan who is in a very good form, 5-7 6-2 7-5. Greaul has nothing to lose here, all he can gain is another victory against very big tennis name, and I believe he will. At least, he has much better chances than the odds are showing. Once again, big value. :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

    ReasoningRussian encounter here. Andreev and Turusnov already played three matches and Igor Andreev won all three. More, all three were in last five month, and all three went to a third set. This season Andreev played only on hard, but had no major results losing to names like Starace, Hrbaty, Blake, Ljubicic. Andreev has overall record for this year 12-8. In Indian Wells Andreev played good defeating today's opponent 6-7(2) 6-1 6-2, Robin Soderling and Andy Roddick also in three sets. Finally, in quarterfinals he lost to runner-up James Blake 1-6 4-6. Here in Miami Andreev won against Bastl 6-4 6-4 making only two breaks during the game, not convincing in my oppinion. On the other side, Tursunov isn't a world class player, but he is in a good form and this court suits him well as he is a big server. Tursunov has 11-8 for this year. Well, at the begining of the season he wasn't playing good like now he does. But, last week he won a Sunrise Challenger defeating Luczak, Kim, Karlovic, Alberto Martin...all of them are very good players. Still, Tursunov won against Capdeville 6-2 6-1 and Ferrero 6-3 7-6. H2H is on Andreev's side as I said, but I don't believe that Andreev can win again against the same player. Also, all games went to a three sets and looking to Tursunov's style of play I don't see any reason against Over 23.5 Total Games. P.S. Unibet and Gamebookers have the same offer @ 1.80.

    ReasoningBoth teams are stuggling for a play-off position. Well, Lakers are a little better according to the tables. And according to normal sense, they are much, much better right now. New Orleans have a losing streak of two games, and they have only one win in last twelve games, poor New Orleans. Of course, at the begining of the season noone even dreamt that they will be around play-off spots. But, if they continue to play like they do in lasts weeks they will be out of play-off spots in no time. Lakers have three wins in a row, plus they are very good at home. Lakers have two wins in a row in their arene, Sacramento by six, and Milwaukee by five. Now, they will have even easier job. Kobe Bryant can have a easier training here. On the other hand, New Orleans will play Dasmond Mason and Vroman. San Antonio, Denver, Houston, Milwaukee are just teams in a row that have beaten poor New Orleans. "We're just not a very good basketball team right now," said Hornets coach Byron Scott. "To me, we have a lot of glaring holes on both ends of the floor. The biggest thing is that we're so weak mentally."

    ReasoningSan Antonio is big favourite in this match, and I think that everything will depend on them and their style of play. And Seattle isn't kind a team that can score a lot of points to the defensive team like San Antonio. San Antonio Spurs are playing juz great against Seattle. They have three wins in a row against Spurs and ten out of last twelve games. They are especially good in Keyarena. Last game Spurs have won over Portlan 98-78. "This feels like what I used to do for a long time," said Barry, who is averaging just 5.3 points this season. "It's good to see the ball going in, and being able to do the things you know you're capable of doing." The only thing that is bad in Spurs is that Tim Duncan didn't improve his basketball this year. He is having the worst season ever. Also, Spurs are NBA second highest scoring team, but they are receiving the most in whole NBA. Seattle is on the verge of missing the postseason for the third time in four years. Seattle lost to Denver with 13 points difference and: "We didn't play. None of us," Sonics coach Bob Hill said. "As bad as we played, Denver should have beaten us by 50."

    ReasoningThis will be very interesting game to watch. Orlando Magics are doing quite good latelly. They have won six out of last nine games plus they are playing really great against Atlnata this year. Of course, both teams are almost out of race for a play-off spot although Orlando still have small chances to take it, but only small. Orlando is 19-14 at home, that makes them quite a good home team meanwhile Atlanta is only 7-26 away. Orlando is still without Patt Garitty, and Atlanta Hawks won't count on Stoudamire, Lang and Lou. Orlando beat Philadelphia 102-86 on Friday night, "I can't say enough good things about the bench," Orlando coach Brian Hill said. "I thought early in the game we lacked energy. Guys came in and picked it up for us; picked up our defensive intensity. "It was basically the same thing in the second half. We got good shots and good offensive production from our bench." Atlanta has lost five games in a row playing away. I predict that this game will be very ahrd for both teams. Orlando is better and they will probably win but not with too many points difference.

    ReasoningBoston 21-49 will host Chicago 30-39. OK. Boston is a team of very old players, in fact, a mixture of very old and very young players. but in the end it looks like a bad option as they still didn't win 30 games, and have a minus record, with small, small chances to reach the play-offs. Looking to make the playoffs for the second straight season after a six-year absence, the Bulls are ninth in the Eastern Conference and stand 2 1/2 games behind Philadelphia for the eighth and final playoff spot. One of the key factors why I Celtics perfoming poor is: "We had our spirit broken," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, "and never got back into the game." and weel, I'm counting on this. On friday they lost to Cleveland with12 points difference and Bulls have won their last game. This is a 50-50 match for me, so I'm taking this offer with no remorse.

But, still Cleveland are in a very good shape having won four games in a row. Houston is without Bob Sura, Tracy McGrady, David Wesley, Macje Lampard. This is a long injury list for one team. And the most important for this bet is that McGrady isn't playing. On the other hand, Cavaliers are in a good shape. There is a question in the medias if James Lebron can be a clucth player. Well, I belive he can be. In the meantime, Houston without Mcgrady are just a weak team and I belive that Cavaliers can win this match."I wanted to be aggressive and put them away," James said. "It's a big win, but we can't slip. We're riding high, but have to keep our focus. We have to go into Houston and work hard and try to get another win."

After wins over Portaland 100-93 away and lost to Seattle 114-105 they will host Toronto that is in a very poor form. Milwaukee is 20-14 at home and comparing to Toronto's 12-23 on road, I see a clear home win. The Bucks are at the sevent place 1 1/2 behind Pacers. So, it is very important game for them. Michael Redd is in a good form scoring 20 points against Lakers on friday night. "Kobe had a terrific game," Bucks coach Terry Stotts said. "We probably did a good job on him, actually -- after the way he started off. He made his foul shots down the stretch, but for 2 1/2 quarters, we did as good a job as you could ask for." Still, Bucks's veteran star Toni Kukoc added 13 and Bell 15. Mo Williams is still out for Milwaukee and Toronto won't count on Calderon, Davies and Williams. Handicap offered by Expekt -4.5 is too low in my opinion. Also, under 204.5 looks like a good choice.

He is a hardcourter who plays very well at clay, which means that this surface in Indian Wells suits him prefectly. Nieminen won a tournament in Adeleide, reached third round of Australian Open, semifinal in Rotterdam. Which basicly means that he made a breakthrough to the professional tennis. ALso, Nieminen played great in Indian Wells last week. He won against Mayer, Kohlschreiber, Safin and lost to big fighter Srichaphan. On the other hand, Phillipoussis is very poor. Philippoussis has 3-4 win/loss record. He lost to Florian Mayer last week and I expect him to lose very easily today too.

Claycourt season is just to begin and I don't think she is prepared to play this tournament at the highest level as she didn't play since middle of February. She had no major wins in 2006. She won against names like Santangelo, Craybas, Foretz and was losing to Safina, Dementieva, Santangelo, Obziler. So, looking at her results we see only a solid player, nothing more. On the other hand, Mashona Washington is struggling to reach her best again. But, at least Mashona played latelly and I belive she is better prepared than Slovenian player. Mashona came to the main draw as a qualifier where she was better than Osterloh (very solid and in-form player) 6-2 6-3 and Meng Yuan (lucky looser). In first round Mashona won against Lisa Raymond in two very convincing sets- 6-1 6-4. Still, these two already met once and Mashona won it 6-1 6-1, it was back in 2000. Now, Mashona Washington is playing very well at the moment, and she is playing at home. I belive she can upset Slovenian who didn't play in last 50 days.

Just one week after Canberra Open she lost to Zuzana Ondraskova at Australian Open. After AO she played four tournaments and has only one win over Garbin, though in three sets. She was losing to Pierce, Domachowska and twice to Eleni Daniilidou. Alyona Bondarenko is at least winning from time to time. She has 6/6 win/loss record at WTA tournaments. During this season half of her tournaments were WTA, half challengers. At the start of the season she had wins over Linetskaya, Katerina Bondarenko, Rodionova, Dushevina... Last week she won Orange challenger beating names like UBeroi, Kremer, Neslon, Meusburger and she lost only one set. She came to the main draw from qualifications... During this part of the tournament she was better than Vakulenko 6-3 6-1 and Sromova 7-5 3-6 6-4. In first round of the main draw she won against Bulgarian prodigy Pironkova 6-2 6-2.

    ReasoningCarlsen is a big server and this surface suits him very well. Kenneth Carlsen won in first round against Cyril Saulnier in three 3-6 6-3 6-0. Before this tournament he played in Indian Wells and won against Gilles Muler, but lost to in-form Robredo. Still, Carlsen has overall record 8-8 this year, and he spend whole year playing only on hard. He is in a good shape and I rate him as a favoruite against poor Ginepri. Ginepri has only one win this seasona and six losts. He started this year with some really poor displays losing to players like Alberto Martin and Dennis Gremelmayer, and when everyone thought he will improve during tournaments in US, he didn't. He has four losts in a row at US hardcourts. Robby lost to Hyung-Taik Lee, Dmirty Tursunov, Paul Goldstein and Paradorn Srichaphan. This bet is based on current form, Carlsen has 8-8 this year and Ginepri has 1-6. Kenneth is serving very well and should have no problems holding his own serve while Ginepri has very weak serve + making a lot of unforced errors. Must take bet for me

At Australian Open he lost to Luis Horna, later on, he lost in Marseille to Sebas Grosjean and three weeks ago, he lost to veteran Jonas Bjorkman. On the other hand, Agustin Calleri has 7-7 win/loss record this year. Although he is Argentinian, he is doing ok on hard too. Latelly, Calleri played clay tournaments in South America (semifinals of Buenos Aires and quarterfinals of Acapulco). Last week Calleri lost to Massu in first round of Indian Wells 1-6 7-5 6-7(10). Calleri already played first round of Nasdaq Open and easily won against Juan Monaco 6-2 6-1. I belive that Monfils isn't prepared for big matches yet, and in-form Calleri should take it without bigger problems.

He has wins against Lu, Horna, Andreev, Calatrava... players that are at least a little better than Bastl. Bracciali was playing good in Indian Wells defeating Luis Horna in two, but he lost in next round against Dominik Hrbaty 5-7 5-7. On the other hand, Bastl had some injuries two years ago, and he has never recovered from it. I mean he never reached his level again. Bastl is 31 years old and I'm sure he can't reach his best again. He is now playing challengers, but without any success. Bastl played only one match witch is over challenger serie, it was in Davis Cuo and he lost it to Guccione easily. Bastl came from qualifying round. Tipsarevic retired to him and he won over old grandpa Koubek. Now, this tournament will be past for him tonight.

She had a very easy draw at Australian Open and managed to win against Ting Li (never heard of), Schruff and Olga Savchuk all second classed players. Finally, when she faced up against Nadia Petrova she lost it taking only four games. Since AO she played only two tournaments and she lost both in first round, against Nicole Pratt who is in playing more than poorly and against Viktoria Kutuzova last week 3-6 3-6. Now, Loit is very, very expirienced player who know how to play against these kid of players. Loit isn't a world class player, but at least she is winning more than Vesnina. Loit has overall win/loss record 8/7 which is very good comparing to big nothing from Vesnina (except AO). For example, Loit won against Kutuzova at AO, same Kutuzova who won against Vesnina last week. Loit played good in Acapulco (semi finals) and Bogota (quarter finals). Last week she lost to Lisa Raymond in three in Indian Wells. Loit is doing ok, she is in better form than Vesnina who didn't win in last two months. All in all, bet against Elena Vesnina
