Re: ATP TMS Rome & WTA Berlin/Prague 8th-14th May
yes. and thanks for your contribution. really worthwhile.What do u expect? who the hell is hanescu? is he even in top 100? -
Re: ATP TMS Rome & WTA Berlin/Prague 8th-14th May
well that gave me an "interest" for all of 5 minutes. pathetic.I've just had 4 points on Hanescu to beat Roddick. It's live on TV right now so it's just an interest bet really. -
Re: ATP TMS Rome & WTA Berlin/Prague 8th-14th May I've just had 4 points on Hanescu to beat Roddick. It's live on TV right now so it's just an interest bet really. He's in poor form but he's shown in the past how dangerous he can be on clay while Roddick is always worth opposing on the surface in Europe.

Re: ATP TMS Rome 8th-14th May STARACE v Tursunov @ 4/9 What Mr. I said basically. Also Starace seems to have an excellent record in Italy. FERRERO v Mathieu @ 4/9 Ferrero is a bit unreliable these days but has been in decent form recently. With the exception of Almagro, he's been beating lower ranked opponents very convincingly in the last 3 tournaments. GAUDIO v Malisse @ 2/9 One of the best clay courters around. Showed some great form at Monte Carlo where he pushed Nadal all the way. BERDYCH v Srichaphan @ 1/4 The Thai is quite hopeless on clay. Berdych isn't. Prices taken from bluesq. 10 pt accumulator, pays 3.19. I've had 6pts on Serra as well. Can't add anything to Mr. I's excellent write-up.

Re: ATP TMS Rome 8th-14th May I'm surprised Blake is favourite against Serra. Worth opposing I reckon. Same goes for Henman against di Mauro. Thoughts?

Re: ATP TMS Rome 8th-14th May It's hard to see past Nadal but for someone who gambles purely for enjoyment there's no real value in that price considering he probably wouldn't be a whole lot shorter than even money on the eve of a final against Federer. A first round match against his "mentor" Moya, who showed some decent form in Estoril this week, is probably the last draw he would've wanted as well. Glancing at the draw, I'd expect Nalbandian to come out of his quarter and he'd fancy his chances in a semi against Federer so maybe he'd be worth an e/w punt at 20s. I don't think he dropped a single set in Estoril so fatigue shouldn't be a factor (despite the weight jibes) and his confidence will obviously be high.

Re: ATP Munich/Estoril & WTA Warsaw 1st-7th May well played. he didn't half make hard work of it though. converted 3 of 21 break points. and went from 5-0 to 5-3 and 0-30 at one stage in the 3rd set. absolutely crazy match.
-
Re: ATP Munich/Estoril & WTA Warsaw 1st-7th May ffs Tursunov. Serves me right though for not researching it properly. I wouldn't have backed him if I'd realised that the guy he'd beaten in the first round was 15 year old kid.
-
Re: ATP Munich/Estoril 1st-7th May Some good write-ups there folks. You've talked me into a short-priced treble of Garcia-Lopez, Moya and Tursunov. Pays 2.10. Speaking of Tursunov...Have read of his blog on the ATP site if you haven't already. Some of it is hilarious.

Re: Snooker: World Championships I'm speaking from a purely personal perspective based on how much I enjoyed it. I'm not disputing that the standard of play was mostly poor.
-
Re: Tennis: The value in Qualifiers the bookies have obviously seen this and are running scared if you ask me. seriously though, great thread.
-
Re: Snooker: World Championships The final session was fantastic viewing. It more than redeemed the rest of the match as far as I'm concerned.
-
Re: Football Crazy heh, I love this system for some reason. Great win for you with Cittadella.
-
Re: ATP Munich/Estoril 1st-7th May Yeah, Haas and Nieminen look the best prospects at Munich. Not a whole lot of value though. Especially Sicknote Haas who has a tricky first round match. Karlovic has found a bit of form on clay recently and the surface at Munich is quite fast I believe. I'll probably just lay Coria who looks a short price considering his serving gremlins. Robredo looks a decent value bet at Estoril considering he's roughly twice the price of Almagro. The other main players in that half of the draw are woefully out of form.
-
Re: Snooker: World Championships That's a huge price. I'll definitely be having some of that.

Re: Snooker: World Championships
AND the pressure arising from the fact that a win would've put him into the top 16 for next season. With so much riding on it, it's no surprise he looked so nervous and makes suggestions that he lost on purpose even more ridiculous than they normally would be.Double or nothing Kevshat, that I can make that mis-cue 3 out of 4... Dammit I'm shit atr snooker, good at pool though... And lets not forget the pressure from the audience! Did you hear it at the beginning of the session, they where roaring and bellowing for Ronnie, that must have given Day some sort of a twitch... -
Re: ATP TMS Monte Carlo 17th - 23th April ok, surely someone must have some thoughts on the quarter finals? I haven't seen enough of the tournament to give any sort of informed analysis (I'm not a morning person) but I like the look of 2-1 to Nadal against Coria given the closeness of their previous encounters. I'm also tempted by Ljubicic at evens given his form.
-
Re: Snooker: World Championships Swail is a notoriously slow starter. 6-3 behind isn't a bad scoreline for him considering how he's played. At 13/2 he's still worth a bet to win.

Re: ATP TMS Monte Carlo 17th - 23th April
Sport Tennis Event ATP Monte Carlo Selection SODERLING v Davydenko Strength 5/10 Date 17/04/2006 Bookmaker/Price Bet365 @ 4.00 (Back) Reasoning Following his recent Davis Cup singles rubber withdrawal and meek first round defeat to Jan Hernych in Valencia there have to be serious doubts over Davydenko's current physical state. That's it really. Soderling is a good price to take advantage. -
Re: ATP TMS Monte Carlo 17th - 23th April Despite his poor current form, Ferrero seems a bit over-priced at 100/1 (with bluesq) for someone with such a good record in the event.

Re: ATP TMS Rome & WTA Berlin/Prague 8th-14th May 4/6 and 1.67 are the same aren' t they? I'm on it too (12pts). It should be a great match. Highly unlikely to get any tv coverage though unfortunately, especially with 2 Brits reaching the 2nd round. I've gone 20pts on Monfils as well. Can't really add anything to Mr. I's analyses, which are excellent as usual. And he gets special props today for inventing a new word in "torrendous".
