If it's clearly a mistake in the pricing then they can void the bet. Hopefully they won't tonight though because their handicap line was also out of whack with other books, which suggests that their trader took a stance on the match. They've just withdrew the bet once it started getting pounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torque Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 Ok so here goes... said a little earlier in the thread that I would try to get involved so here is my first effort... Alexandr Dolgopolov to beat Bernard Tomic - 2.24 Betfair Wrong favourite for me. Took this a while back and although Dolgopolov has drifted since, I still think this is a good bet. I can see why Tomic is favourite, what with home advantage and good results so far, but I think Dolgopolov has a more than fair chance of taking this. Dolgopolov appears to have struggled in this tournament so far when looking at his results, but he seems to be an enigmatic player and a player who can raise his game for big matches. If you didn't know better, you would be forgiven for thinking that he deliberately struggled during his first two matches - as though he needed to have his back against the wall in order to perform. Tomic has beaten Verdasco and Querrey to get to this stage, both better players than Dolgopolov has faced so far, but neither in great form. Querrey in particular seems to have gone AWOL during the last year or so. Dolgopolov can be awkward to play against, and I remember that he played well here last year. He also showed in his first round match that he can cope when playing against a player that has home support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmGooner Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 Haha too good to be true.......:lol......same happened to me last year, Paddy Power waited til after the bet had come in to say it was voided, was gutted even though the line was criminal........:lol...cant remember what match it was now. Federer -5.5 games vs Karlovic @ 4/6 (Stan James:5pts) Fancy Fed to come through with a bit to spare here, Ivo is all serve but Fed has handled him pretty well over the years as Ivo rarely causes him any fuss on his service games, matter of Federer being patient and taking the chances that come his way . Can see a straight sets win for the maestro, maybe 4 if he loses a tie-break but h'cap should still be achievable. Kohli vs Falla OVER 3.5 sets @ 8/13 (Bet365:2pts) Expected this to be 1/2 at best. Two players doing well atm, in good shape heading into this one. Kohli favourite but he is no stranger to clowning around, happened in the first round vs rusty Monaco, and he is prone to dipping and playing longer matches than he should. Falla also making one of these runs again, had a decent start to the year and although Fish wasnt good int hat match, a straight sets win cannot be sniffed at. Would expect 4 sets at least. GL fellas, sleep needed after last nights exertions followign Bogomolov!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy25 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 All of you are to blame. If you would have just let say me and IAG take that bet, maybe they wouldn't have voided it. Shame on you guys :lol Yeah obvious error but I thought they may have left it given what happened in the darts. Oh well, can't complain in the slightest.

totse Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 Event Wozniacki C. (Den) - Niculescu M. (Rou) Selection over 17.5 games Strength 10/10 Date 20/01/2012 Bookmaker/Price Titanbet @ 1.91 Reasoning Wozniacki is not in so good fit to trust her here to take with big spread definitely big hitter as Niculesu. Wozniacki last match here passed by this line of 17.5 games and I think she will has problems today again. Caroline was struggling against Tatshvilli who is definitely weak player. Head to head Wozy leads 2-0 both games but that was four years ago and now Niculescu has what to show against world number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last meetings are closed and 2 times Falla win one or more sets. 7/10 Lopez tb. Isner @ 2.20 Bwin Why is Lopez odd? Playing good this tournament and maybe Isner have fysical problems.

totse Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 Event Berdych T. (Cze) - Anderson K. (Rsa) Selection over 3.5 sets Strength 10/10 Date 20/01/2012 Bookmaker/Price Bet365 @ 1.90 Reasoning Berdych played four matches in last ten days, firstly he had lost against Tomic 2-1 and Rodick 2-1 at Kooyong exh., few days later he dropped one set and took another struggling 7-5 against typical claycourter world number 88 Ramos-Vinolas who had played 19 matches in past five years on hard court. Berdych struggling was welcome for the veteran 31 years old clay courter Rochus who is only 5'5 high, but succeed to put one set into a tiebreak and missed good opportunities to take it after broke him twice in tiebreak. However I really like big Kev who also has big serving good forehand and if Berdych keep that fit who showed so far here I think he will give good balls to big Kev's forehand. If that happen count at least one set in Anderson account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slider24 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 Another horrific night. Isner and Bratchikova losing. That might be it for the tournament for me, although Murray on a handicap appeals. Just noticing the complete lack of four set matches.

homunculus Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 OK, I continue pushing my luck with another WTA Kuznetsova to bt Lisicki @2.20 Pinnacle I already went once against Lisicki in this AO, namely in her match with Peer, but Peer let me down by playing absolute crap. Lisicki plays tennis full of force, early hitten balls and winners, but her movement is not that good and she makes lot of errors. Not that Kuzzy does not makes errors - she does, but she is old veteran and more versatile player IMO. H2H is 1-0 for Lisicki: Wimbledon 2009, where Kuzzy lost as a big fav in R3 26 57. I think she will want revenge. Last week she did beat Zvonareva in two straight sets, so she's got the weapons. Also waiting for better odds in Gasquet-Tipsa. Looks like the whole world is jumping on Tipsa who has his leg and foot tapped all over. As soon as the odds on the Frenchmen cross 2.0, I jump on it.
