Torque Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Re: Short Odds Glory Hunt Diary Day 12 Selection 14: Shanghai Masters - DJOKOVIC v gasquet Odds: 1.21 Betfair Bank High: 1,117.15pts Stake: 55.98pts Djokovic is in great form at the moment, winning the China Open last week after a good run at the US Open. He seems to enjoy this time of the year, and had a similar good spell around this time last season. He got to the semi-final of this tournament last year, so should be motivated to at least match that this time around as he has points to defend. He has a good record against Gasquet, a player who can be quite inconsistent during matches. In addition, Gasquet had to play two matches yesterday because of the weather, so fatigue could be an issue for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Re: Short Odds Glory Hunt Diary Day 13 Selection 15: Shanghai Masters - MURRAY v tsonga Odds: 1.38 Betfair Bank High: 1,117.15pts Stake: 30.94pts Murray seems in solid enough form so far this week, and has been serving and returning well. Now that he has qualified for the Tour Finals, he will hopefully be looking for a strong finish to the regular season. He has a good record against Tsonga, and should see this match as a winnable one. Tsonga has only recently returned to the Tour after several months out injured, and this is his first run of matches in a tournament since his comeback. As such, he may find it tough to play a third match in three days at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 Re: Short Odds Glory Hunt Diary Day 14 Selection 16: English Premier League - MANCHESTER UNITED v west brom Odds: 1.31 Betfair Bank High: 1,117.15pts Stake: 37.92pts Manchester United have made a steady start to the season, and are unbeaten in the league so far. They have won all three of their home games, and should be motivated to win this match in order to close the gap on Chelsea at the top of the table. The return of Ferdinand should make them stronger defensively, and up front Berbatov is in some of the best form of his career. West Brom look set to be without Odemwingie, who has been excellent for them so far this season and has provided their main goalscoring threat. Overall, Manchester United should be too strong for West Brom, and should be able to pick up three points here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this reason, they should be motivated to win this match. They face a team who are adrift at the bottom of the table, and who should be low on confidence having lost their last seven games.

He beat Russell recently when they met in the Malaysian Open, so he should be confident that he can get the better of him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Re: Short Odds Glory Hunt Diary Day 17 Selection 19: Kremlin Cup - GOLUBEV v m. gonzalez Odds: 1.23 Betfair Bank High: 1,117.15pts Stake: 51.11pts Golubev recently got to the final of the Malaysian Open, beating some top players along the way. This suggests he enjoys indoor conditions, and he should be confident of success against an opponent who spends most of his time on clay. Gonzalez comes into this match straight from winning two Challenger titles on clay in South America, so he may be fatigued and might also struggle to adapt to a different surface.

He has points to defend, so should be motivated to do well this week. He faces an opponent in Zeballos who is out of form and probably lacking in confidence, having failed to get past the first round of any of the recent tournaments that he has played at this level.

Torque Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Re: Short Odds Glory Hunt Diary I am just about back to where I started after the result of the last selection. I think this is a good time to draw a line under this hunt. I had forgotten how frustrating tennis betting can be.

Torque Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Re: Short Odds Glory Hunt Diary Have decided to start this up again - possibly gave in a little too easily last time! I'm going to change the staking slightly from before, and will now be staking ten percent of the bank high per selection. I will start with a notional bank of 100pts. First selection to follow...

He has home advantage, and takes on a player in Devvarman who he beat convincingly in last year's US Open. Anderson has improved steadily during the last couple of years, and should see this as a great opportunity to win his first ATP Tour title.

He began his run to the last four of the year's first Grand Slam with a win over Nieminen, and he should be confident of a repeat here. He also appears to enjoy indoor conditions, taking the title at the Valencia Open last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Re: Short Odds Glory Hunt Diary Day 4 Selection 4: World Tennis Tournament - SIMON v paire Odds: 1.14 Betfair Bank High: 104.73pts Stake: 10.47pts Have decided to dispense with the write-ups - not sure they really add anything. There are always lots of obvious reasons when odds are short, so from now on it will just be a case of whether I think a selection will win. Blind-betting at short odds will never work, so hopefully my 'edge' will come from being selective... hopefully I can improve on this, as my last pick was underpinned with what seemed solid reasoning :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
