Brisbane International. Brisbane, Australia

Start time : 5:15AM (EST)

Lucie Safarova vs Samantha Stosur

My pick is Samantha Stosur to win

Odds : - 176

Bookmaker : pinnaclesports

8.80 units to win 5 units


Larger bet , Safarova is horrible form over the last 12 monthes and in the first round she got lucky with such an easy opponent but still she did struggle even if the result doesnt look that way . Stosur should have no trouble with the conditions and has an unique game being a great doubles player . This is a match for Stosur to win , if she does not I might as well call it a year for betting on WTA .

The Brainiac what do you believe is your BEST WAGER? How have you been doing in tennis? Thanks in advance.

 

[TheBrainiac]

Well it depends on what you mean by * best wager * , doing fine betting favourites of around - 200/-250 most of the time . Just cant force myself to bet on the underdogs in any sport . Posting my wagers here because its more fun for me to discuss plays with other people and keep track of my bets .

 

[sparticus]

In your mind/pocket is Stosur a pretty strong play? Thanks in advance & gl.

 

[TheBrainiac]

I like this a lot but in women tennis anything is possible just like that previous bet , woke up to see my bet is a loss because that girl couldnt win 2 more games in the second set and then blew it all . I kinda like Calleri + 5 games against Tsonga and Dent + 4 games against Gasquet .

Wager Type : Doubles

Qater ExxonMobil Open Doubles

Start time : 7:30AM (EST)

A.Seppi/V.Troicki vs J.Cerretani/V.Hanescu

My pick is J.Cerretani/V.Hanescu to win

Odds : - 105

Bookmaker : 5dimes

2.62 units to win 2.5 units


Doubles records :

Cerretani 17 - 16

Hanescu 17 - 23

Seppi 20 - 48

Troicki 8 - 13


Let me put it this way : if they want to win this match they will . Only real doubles player in this match is James Cerretani . Hanescu and Cerretani have a 5-3 record playing together and won a tournament on clay . Seppi and Troicki never played together before .
Yesterday Hanescu beat Troicki very easily 6-4 6-2 in singles draw . Now I also have to question Troicki*s form and motivation for this match today to stay in Doha or go to the next tournament already . Seppi is still in singles draw as well like Hanescu . Cerretani came to Doha to play in doubles competition because this is how he earns his bread and sure he will try his best to advance one round further . Hanescu plays a solid doubles games as well , Seppi and Troicki both have horrible doubles records .

Start time : 6:30AM (EST)

Denis Istomin vs Rohan Bopanna

My pick is Rohan Bopanna +2 games

Odds : +100

Bookmaker : pinnaclesports

5 units to win 5 units

I smell atleast one tiebreak in this match unless Istomin isnt in good form .
I have watched Berrer vs Bopanna 2 days ago and Istomin is almost same type of player Berrer is , this has tiebreak written all over it unless Istomin is out of form and Bopanna wins with home crowd behind him and having played 3 matches in Qualifying on those courts already .

Chennai Open, Chennai India

Start time : 9:15AM (EST)

Danai Udomchoke vs Carlos Moya

My pick is Carlos Moya to win

Odds : - 324

Bookmaker : pinnaclesports

9.72 units to win 3 units


Moya won this tournament twice , made finals once and overall has a 20-3 record . If he cant beat Udomchoke he should retire right here and dont bother for the rest of the season . Last year he had an epic 3 tiebreaks match with Rafael Nadal in the semis here which he lost but wore Nadal down who then lost 0-6 1-6 in the finals .
If only I knew that he is still up to play tennis this would be a larger play but still he should be way too much for a guy like Udomchoke .

 

[TheBrainiac]

Can only blame myself for betting on WTA here ... Stosur*s serve stats dont even look bad , actually they look very good but whats up with those of Safarova ?!! I guess her boyfriend Berdych served instead of her ...

Chennai Open, Chennai India

Start time : 10:45AM (EST)

Stanislas Wawrinka vs Flavio Cipolla

My pick is Flavio Cipolla +5.5 games

Odds : - 112 & - 102

Bookmaker : 5dimes & pinnaclesports

2.8 units to win 2.5 units & 2.55 units to win 2.5 units


Those two dont like each other and I am sure Cipolla will give his best in this match even if he is rather limited with his skills but Wawrinka almost always starts slow .

Braniac... I need to enlarge my bankroll... would you suggest me to bet on your winter sports or tennis (if I have to choose)... I find hard to follow all that tennis pick... and winters sports are kind of less stressful to me... I it seems to me that you have better knowledge in winter sports (maybe I'm wrong)

P.S. I will post a plays here when I get a call from Ivo Karlovic's best friend... Ivo sometimes talks that he's not in some match 100% (when he needs a rest or when he has parties day before)... we had some nice winners last season... going as high as +900 on a 2-0 set bet against him...

BOL!

 

[TheBrainiac]

Rather tail in winter sports , tennis is way too much stress , I almost broke my keyboard watching this Bopanna guy miss some cheap shots a 4 year old would make . Also less swings in winter sports for me , you have seen how this fat cow lost a set up and break up lead , this is how tennis works .

ASB Classic. Auckland, New Zealand

Start time : 5:00PM (EST)

Elena Vesnina vs Nicole Vaidisova

My pick is Nicole Vaidisova to win

Odds : - 150

Bookmaker : pinnaclesports

7.50 units to win 5 units


I must try this one especially at those odds ... Vaidisova was a mess whole year just like Safarova who I tried to fade yesterday but she played a perfect match against Stosur . Vesnina doesnt have any real weapons to win this match so it will be up to Vaidisova if she does advance to the next round .

 

[TheBrainiac]

should stick to doing this ... instead of playing tennis .

Wager Type : WTA Handicap

Brisbane International. Brisbane, Australia

Start time : 7:30PM (EST)

Amelie Mauresmo vs Julie Coin

My pick is Julie Coin + 4 games

Odds : - 115 & - 127

Bookmaker : pinnaclesports

2.87 units to win 2.5 units & 3.17 units to win 2.5 units


Mauresmo is totally washed up ... if not ... this will be my last bet on WTA because this stuff only gets you grey hair instead of the green paper .
