Re: Australian Open 2013 I just thought it may be useful to some to hear this bit of advice. If you are betting on paddy power especially with reference to the "to win a set & +1.5 handicap markets, you would have noticed that both are always priced the same. The only difference is the the +1.5 market was really designed as a safety net for the bookies. E.G, when you play to win a set, If your selection wins a set then either of them defaults afterwards, you still get paid. but with 1.5 market the match gets voided and the bookies win. So beware!!

Re: Australian Open 2013
Good Start! More of the same coming.Heather Watson Vs Cadantu I really cannot understand how the bookies priced this up. But I imagine it was strictly done by the british bookies who must believe their dear Heather is somewhat impregnable. H2h reads 1-0 in favor of Cadantu, a victory accomplished rather easily as the scoreline suggested. I also think that it is a bad matchup for Heather as her opponent is a resolute grinder with a style very similar to hers. I clearly suggest to play safe with Cadantu to win a set at paddy power at a whopping 2/1. I have also gone for the win too at 9/2. PERVAK VS BARTHEL I will make this real quick. Pervak is in sublime form as could be seen from her recent matches where she beat U Radwanska in a classic and Wozniacki prior to that. What ~I like about this chick is that she is a gritty dogged fighter who never knows when she is beaten. Leads Barthel 2-0 h2h which were easy straight-forward matches. She really is as ballsy as Kerber fighting. An even spent Barthel makes matters worse. Was 2/1 at paddy, now 7/4 -

Re: Australian Open 2013 Czech, nice pick on Radwanska, but I think for some reason she should be treated with caution depending on whether you view the glass as half empty or half full. This is a grand slam and I see her as already half spent with the exertions of the last week. You can safely cancel her out winning the A.O. A real tall order. She really will be lucky to get past the quarters as it is. I will be looking to Bobusic to give her a bit of a headache in the first round to start things of. The same comment applies to Vesnina. Dont get sucked in!

Re: January 7 - January 13 James Blake Vs Donald Young: I think this is a matchup that has come just at the right time in Blake's fleeting career. I do not think that there is any question to the abundance of talent in the young Young despite the frustrating wait over the last couple of years. I am picking Young to blossom here in this spectacular ceremony of the changing of the guards!

Re: September 24 - September 30 RADWANSKA VS PETROVA I will be expecting to bounce back to my best here with some razor-sharp precision.....and I am not stuttering! Lol! I strongly believe that Petrova has played her tournament and will be satisfied to depart with the runner up cheque. Istill believe Petrova should not be here based on the awful performance of Errani. That form of 6-3, 4-1 Errani before the capitulation, will never hold up against the quality of Radwanska. I know for certain that Stosur bombed out earlier today because she was experiencing other physical problems that threw her off her game. So verily I say onto you folks, in braggish tones and supreme confidence, I am picking Radwanska not just to win but to do so with -4.5 4/6(Paddy Power) WATSON VS GIORGI Watson has really been playing well lately which I imagine should be well above any standard that Giorgi has brought along. Nothing much to say apart from a routine win for Watson to ready her to better last weeks decent performance. ROBSON VS LARSSON I just think Robson might be too tired here to get competitive and preference is for laesson who has really improved in leaps and bounds this year. Larsson 11/4 Paddy power. GL Everyone!!!

Re: September 24 - September 30 My profound apologies to everyone who followed my picks earlier on. I have to say that I really felt duped and drained after the results knowing what I knew soon after I posted them. I have developed the habit of monitoring match prices from when they first come out to close to the off to try and remain updated with all I need to know. It is the main reason I put up my posts most times on the forum late. In following prices consistently over the years, I have come to learn that late moves in most cases say a whole lot about what might be likely to happen. I have never stopped asking myself how the bookies always know. Yesterday for example Kerber started at 11/10, Radwanska 8/11. As the night went on, Kerber went evens with Radwanska going 4/5. Just before I posted I checked,; Kerber had gone 5/6 with Radwanska 10/11. For some reason I was not really thinking right then because I would normally stop to inspect and in most cases go against the flow. 5mins after I posted, I refreshed my page only to find that Kerber had automatically drifted out to 11/10 as in the opening price. I knew instantly that it was a comprehensive loss and I had been duped by the predominant bookie spirits. lol!!!(Laugh if you may when I talk about spirits) You will doomed if you never ever considered this indulgence much more than the physical. There is also another strange thing I have noticed over the years of many hours that I have spent monitoring prices. Certain prices most times consistently interprete what will happen in a given match up. You just have to be able to sense the situation early enough. Here is one; 3/10 I call this the dungeon or open stance price. Look out for the opposite price to be 11/5 or 12/5. Paddy Power uses this 3/10 pricing to destabilize punters most times as it would 35-40% of the times result in a loss. It is kind of pricing that has the power to draw you in enough to get stung. I named it the bookie open stance becauseit enables the bookies to hit winners even off-balance. The sometimes easy to detect ones are 3/10 with no extra market options available at the right side. Beware!!!! Just as Kerber went back out, so did Stosur move from 4/11 to 3/10, just then a sudden sense of foreboding came over me and I knew my games were losers. I just did not deem it right them to log in back to the forum to change my picks. Well that's the way the cookie crumbles. Please please please guys just follow my 3/10 theory and see what you find. There is one there at the moment that I followed yesterday. FALLA. Price has not moved. There are times to follow it and these will be times when there seems to be a question mark about the opponent. I feel Benneteau falls into this category. Good Luck all!

Re: September 24 - September 30 STOSUR VS PETROVA A very intriguing match-up between two players that know each others games very well. Petrova leads the head to head 5-3 with all bar one of her victories coming in medieval times. I will save myself time and say like in the Kerber write-up that Nadia may just be about to punch above her weight. Two back to back three-setters is too much baggage to bring in a rucksack to face one of the fittest players that ever graced the WTA. Nadia really has no right to be here as Errani messed up big time. I take Stosur to win and comprehensively so. 4/11 the win (paddy power) -2.5 8/15 strongly recommended. GL

Re: September 24 - September 30 KERBER VS RADWANSKA Two extremely clutch players going head to head in what promises to be a spectacular encounter. They have met 5 times with the score being 3-2 to radwanska, who also retains the mental edge by virtue of winning the last two. Incidentally the penultimate victory was in round 32 of this same tournament last year which A. Rad won in three hard fought sets on the way to a clean sweep of the Asian fixtures. Firstly, I do not think that Radwanska is anywhere around that form that brought her the title last year, although it has to be said that she might just be gathering momentum at the right time. So far nothing has given us any indication of where Radwanska actually is form wise. Beating Wozniacki in straight sets did not really reveal much as it could be attributed to fatigue finally catching up with the zestful Dane. Radwanska gives me the impression of a meticulously bred top weight filly who just might be carrying too much weight this time round. In other words the extra day of rest gives the south-pore player significant advantage especially with both being percentage players. Considering Kerber is the most progressive in terms of ground-breaking, My pick here will be over 2.5 sets at odds of 5/4(Paddy Power) with a huge lean towards a Kerber victory. Gl

Re: September 24 - September 30 Very sorry, my apologies I really should have. However, as you know, various bookies offer various extra betting markets. I initially thought that there will be no need putting up the odds if I do not tell you where to find the particular price. I also was not sure whether i was allowed to disclose the actual bookmaker before it looks like i am using the platform to solicit for business. I will be happy to put up the odds for next time and hopefully name the bookmaker if i am allowed to or let people search for themselves. For my tennis bets, I use the same bookies all through because their extra markets are well tailored for me.

Re: September 24 - September 30 ERRANI VS PETROVA It is really hard to believe how much Errani has progressed over the last 12months, quickly establishing herself as one of the most formidable opponents to come up against. She does not seem to possess anyone dependable killer weapon in her game, but she is annoyingly consistent - a robotic human backboard. She has played Petrova once recently and the result was convincing enough to believe that the repeat will simply be a copy and paste job. Nadia just seems to have come as far as her form can take her. Errani takes this one. 10/10 STOSUR VS SHARAPOVA On the face of things Sharapova looks to have Stosur's number in every way thinkable. 10-1 H2H? Quite interesting! The fact is that it really could be 11-1 by the end of play tomorrow, however I cannot just ignore the warning signs from my heart which is telling me to only be concerned with the last 2 matches. I think Stosur is now playing well within those forms to suggest that she really could be dangerous. This is the game that will be on all parlays tomorrow with Sharapova's name printed on a majority of slips for a bookie sweepout. Hmmmm! I am alert and ready. I am ultra confidently picking Stosur +4.5 and hopefully the outright win 8/10

Re: September 24 - September 30 MATOSEVIC VS KARLOVIC It has to be said that Karlovic with his regressive old school style of play represents the last of the Mohicans. I think he has reached a point where his tennis career is now on a life support machine. His only weapon, if that can still be called one is his serve which he now uses as an adhesive to stick to matches for longer than is necessary - which is why he has now played consecutive tie-breaks in his last seven matches. Most interestingly, his last loss came at the hands of one Davydenko who beat him 6-0 in the third set, Karlovic having faded out quickly having been mentally drained in the first 2 sets. I cannot see him recovering quickly enough(Like he had any chance even if he was fresh) to trade blows with Matosevic who equally has a penetrating serve and meaty groundies. Still, I will not be greedy. I am taking Matosevic to win a set in prudent fashion. WOZNIACKI TO BEAT LI I really do not believe in sitting on the fence with overs/unders when it comes to a potent battle. Woz should be tired and Li should be relatively fresh. Woz is still on a roll and will be desperate to keep the roll going giving mind precedence over matter in the fatigue department. When you get surprisingly stung by a supposedly nobody at the time in a grand slam, it takes some time to recover. I just think Li might still be cocooned by the the Robson spanking. Woz to doggedly continue the winning habit in routine fashion!!!!
-
Re: September 24 - September 30 WOZNIACKI TO BEAT HANTUCHOVA I am not going to waste too much time elaborating on this one. Wozniacki nearly came close to losing against a surprisingly dogged opponent yesterday. However, she somehow addressed the issue by standing tall and finding a way to win. I think Caroline must have just got a bit distracted at some point to get herself in that mess, but it can in no way be attributed to fatigue. In fact, she is one of the fittest girls on tour who uses kick-boxing as a means to tone herself up. Coming to Hantuchova, I just do not know how she won that match yesterday. Her legs were on fire for most of the 3rd set as she kept skipping on the spot to escape cramps. By the end of the set, she was swinging like a desperate boxer backed up in a corner. She bit her way out in the end as her opponent failed to tee off on her frailty. I really cannot see Daniella making any sort of impact later on this morning. Infact, I am going to boldly predict a walloping in two easy sets by the Woz or a withdrawal by hantuchova. She progresses not, either way!!!! YOUNG TO WIN A SET AND POSSIBLY MATCH This in my opinion is the best bet of the day by a street. I call it easy money. Simply put Lu has been playing a lot of tennis lately for his number to go under. There is no calculation here because we all know Young has been playing really badly. I always say that tipping is not always mathimatical. In fact, the more mathimatically convincing formwise, the greater chance for disappointment. I feel braggishly confident on a 2/2 here. GL

Re: August 20 - August 25
Ouch! Player hating??? loooks like I touched a nerve! Pls just calm down and mind your business. Perhaps when you do finally win in the way I did, your own brand of madness will be permitted. For now....sshhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!That's an exceptional tip Dory, well played! Devman, chill with the quotes lad, you surely dont have to quote the lad's post 3 times to address him, it's a bloody eyesore...........:lol -
Re: August 20 - August 25
Wow!!!!! Big thanks to you my friend!! It was a grandiose win including my selection as Konta completed the job with enough to spare. Just over 1700 in profits....certainly my best start to the US Open in years!!! Keep it up matey! Wish you some luck too along the way! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks Devman. A good result yesterday with Hardebeck holding her nerve to win it in a third set tiebreak. Couple that catch my fancy for today: Victor Estrella to beat Alessandro Giannessi. 1.794 @ Pinnacle I really do not understand these odds. Alessandro Giannessi has barely played on a hard court before. Above futures level, he has played two matches without winning a set. Even at futures level, he only has one final appearance to his name in over ten tournaments. Last year, he only won four games against Matteo Viola, another man who is certainly not at home on the hard stuff. While Estrella is hardly a quality player himself, he has a semi-final and a quarter-final appearance at hard court challengers already this year, as well as a title at the futures level. He will come into this tournament with high confidence after winning a title at the futures level in Bogota last week, albeit on clay, and his experience should see him through this without too many problems. Mitchell Krueger to beat Martin Alund. 5.42 @ Pinnacle Only a small play on this one, but I can't help but feel that this will be closer than the odds suggest. Martin Alund has had a good year, but he very rarely steps off his favoured clay courts. The last time he played on a hard court was way back in January, 2010, he has not won a hard court match since late 2008, and he only has two wins against players in the top 1000. In other words, he has very little hard court form. Mitchell Krueger is a young American with a promising junior record. Only 18-years old, he has reached the semi-finals of the junior Wimbledon and French Open, and won the Pan American championships last year, beating Filip Peliwo on route, who reached the final of the junior Australian and French Open and won the junior Wimbledon title. Chances are that Alund's experience will see him through, but for a player who has no hard court history of any note against a young American, I would be tempted with a small bet on Krueger here. -
Re: August 20 - August 25
All of a sudden, it almost looked like someone had infoed the bookies that they had left the back door open, and in no time willian hill cut krueger from 4's to 3's. Paddy Power were still asleep and were still on 4's for a while to 11/4. i had to go all in in the end 400 to win a set at 6/4 and 250 double with my banker konta to beat Chang.

Re: August 20 - August 25
I really like your Krueger bet for what it is worth. Intrestingly enough Paddy power are not offering prices on the US Open Qualifiers, at least when I last looked. They have only selected two matches to offer prices on, and they are James Ward vs Tursunov and guess who? Kruger vs Alund. The thing that really catches my eye there is Kruger to win a set 6/4. So the reckoning will be that even before Alund's wealth of experience comes into play, he would most hopefully have dropped a set. I am going medium large on this!!!!Thanks Devman.

Re: August 20 - August 25
Another great shout again Dory. You are the only one on here who I take picks from without flinching. There's just a way you go about your biz that makes you different from everyone else.....and its has been so since I joined this forum. You never ever look through the same telescope with everyone else for the same popular games. great sixth eye matey!!!!!!!!!!!!!One early bet on the US Open qualifying for me: Krista Hardebeck to beat Tamaryn Hendler. 2/1 @ Bet365 Krista Hardebeck has had a few decent results on the ITF circuit this year, reaching the semi-final in Indian Harbour Beach and Rancho Santa Fe, beating some decent players. She also reached the semi-final of the junior Australian Open earlier in the year, showing she is competent on a hard court. Tamaryn Hendler has struggled in making the step-up after a good end to last year. She is yet to pass the quarter-final of an ITF tournament this year and had a disappointing loss to Connie Chieh-Yu Hsu in her most recent outing. Hendler is certainly a favourite for this match, but nowhere near as big a favourite as the odds are suggesting. A small play is worth having on Hardebeck for me. -
Re: August 6 - August 12
Czech, without being offensive, I just have to ask how you reach conclusions on your picks. Quite amazing consistency! You take a look backwards and see what i am trying to say. Although I stayed with your Murray Olympic pick simply because I detected you took Murray more from an annoyance with your form. I had a 50 treble this morning on frasier price to be on the podium, britney reese to win the long jump and simon to beat Haas. I was super confident until I logged in here 5mins after the bet. As soon as I saw you picked Simon, I had a deep conviction that I had lost. Nothing to do with you anyhow...but how do you consistently pick "em???Back Gilles Simon to beat Tommy Haas for a 2/10 stake at 1.83 with William Hill Simon should be a bigger fav her. Despite his poor H2H record against Haas, I still have him as the better player of the two and he will like the slower conditions in Toronto. Furthermore, one has to be wondering about how much further can the German go with this run. He has looked a bit tired against Nalby already and this will be much tougher. Full preview here: http://www.punterslounge.com/simon-vs-haas-betting-gilles-simon-to-stop-tommy-haas-in-toronto Back Kei Nishikori to beat Sam Querrey for a 2/10 stake at 2.26 with Pinnacle Due to the conditions, I would not have Querrey as the fav here despite his win over Melzer. Nishikori is coming to Toronto on the back of some fabulous performances in the Olympic Games and he is going to like the surface. There should be plenty of baseline rallies and the Japanese number one is the pick here. Full preview here: http://www.punterslounge.com/nishikori-vs-querrey-betting-the-value-probably-lies-with-kei-nishikori Back Fabio Fognini to beat Philipp Kohlschreiber for a 1/10 stake at 3.20 with Bwin Just a small speculative punt, but this price seems to be a touch high. Kohli is just returning from the knee injury and the fact that he has lost a doubles match 0-6 0-6 does not fill me with confidence about his current status. Fognini has picked up some wins (poor wins, but wins nonetheless) here already and he is good enough to take it one step further in Toronto.

Re: July 23 - July 29
Dont get too carried away with your analogy. Laughed at forever by who? It will be nothing unusual for him to lose especially in the circumstances you have already mentioned. Kohli will only do what is in his best interest regarding himself and whatever his immediate plans are. Tennis players have done worse things and nothing is new on the gambling field. Most of us will still back him tomorrow regardless of what he does. Funny enough we all quickly forget things and look forward to other expectant fruitful ventures as is the nature of this dark indulgence. I think there has been a sudden rush towards Kohli by unsuspecting punters who may have switched off. My verdict is this; I strongly believe without a doubt that backing Kohli is somewhat of a nothing venture. There will be no profits coming out of it. He is either going to retire or Balazs will win causing the bookies to celebrate. The story is all written in the current odds and I will not do all this typing only to be proved wrong. I am not stuttering too! lol!Well, this cause reached monster proportions, so I am going to get involved now :-) ATP Kitzbuhel Kohlschreiber to bt Balazs @1.606 Pinnacle (20/10) The odds opened at about 6.60 for the Hungarian and 1.15 for Kohli. Some shift would be normal because Kohli is generally expected to tank sooner or later cos he must be at London Olympics by saturday, or more probably sunday, but SUCH HUGE SHIFT is too much. To openly tank in the very 1st round against noone Balazs is something Kohli would never be able to do. I expect him to tank vs Veic or Rosol one round later, or to create a w/o under some false pretext. Remember this is Austria - a German speaking country - and Kohli would be laughed at forever if he blattantly exited today. GL. -
Re: July 23 - July 29

There is no reasoning behind this alert apart from pure instincts' date=' and even so, i still rate MATOSEVIC winning 8/10. I also strongly feel that Guccione will not cover the handicap either.

Guccione has come through the quallies with something to spare and is looking to get back to his standard, while Matosevic has been awful recently, losing 4 matches in straight sets. Cannot see plenty of breaks in this one, but I like the handicap more than the overs.

Johnson has more variety in my opinion and should be able to cover this handicap or even take the match.

Complete nonsense. You would have made millions by laying my recent selections. No need for any rants (like Haas losing to Cervenak when I have him outright and then getting to the finals the very next week)' date=' have been in this situation before and I am going to bounce back at some point. Nothing for me tomorrow, hoping for Roddick to save the day (cannot see him losing to Muller, so I basically have him at 7.00 to beat Isner). Will be back on Monday as always.[/quote'] Are you giving a cryptic clue here?? hmmm! -
Re: July 9 - July 15 VANDERWHEGE VS JANKOVIC These two have met twice previously and JJ has won both convincingly. I really should be expecting JJ to dish out more of the same except that I have very serious reservations. Firstly, this is really a bad time to start backing headless favorites especially after a slam and in-between the wait for the Olympics. Jankovic has been in near dismal form for a few months now and I am not expecting anything to change in a hurry. JJ has no reason to really get worked up about trying to play well as it gives her no added advantage. Further more considering the gulf between them in ranking, JJ should be much shorter than 1/3. She also has to compete from a cold take off point - the bye doing more harm than good. Her opponent conversely has been in respectable form bar falling in the wimbledon qualifying rounds. She has also served notice of intent with a spanking over czink. I am not saying JJ cannot win; it just looks sensible to go with the home babe who has something to prove. If it looks too easy, then it probably isnt. Every stat points to a JJ win. That itself does not bode well coupled with the fact that it is now public knowledge. My verdict, abstain or take Coco to cover the handicap confidently..and I say this without stuttering lol!! If you are gutsy enough a Coco win lurks large!!! Gl all.

Re: Australian Open 2013 PUTINTSEVA VS McHALE Mchale has not been playing well and that has been clear to see.
