Soderling is TOP 3 headcase of the ATP , if it's windy he may give up mentally .

Not sure about Bolelli being able to return a lot of Fish's bombs .

Mathieu should win but at 1.23 I am not betting a cent on him .

Chardy plus handicap maybe but outright no chance .

Koschreiber should win but this damn old dog has cost me money already with Ferrero not trying against him in the previous round .


Tons of doubles matches today so I am working on those atm . Will try to spot some underdogs I can take with handicap in WTA .

If I had only heeded your warning......I will NEVER again lay money on Mathieu and Soderling under any condition.....2 of the biggest choke jobs ive ever seen both in the same night. Thank God I layed off of Kohlscreiber and Bollelihno:

C.Ball/C.Guccione vs S.Lipsky/D.Martin

My pick is S.Lipsky/D.Martin to win


Odds : + 100

Where : 5dimes

2.5 units to win 2.5 units


Am I missing something here ?
2 big australians with no game , all serve , weak at the net against a solid regular doubles team . Bookies afraid Ball/Guccione win this 7-6 7-6 but I will have to back the better doubles players .

hno::lol:


All 3 other doubles plays won easily in straight sets . Finally a solid day with 6-1 .
Working on doubles plays first atm .

Gift of the day Gonzalez over Canas , got him at - 307 at happy with the line . Canas is finished , Gonzalez will smoke him . He took a medical timeout against Hewitt in the last set but looks like nothing serious , watched his doubles match yesterday just to make sure he is fit before placing a bet on him against Canas . Nothing bothered him , played as solid as you can ... when you are up against the Bryan brothers .

My pick is E.Butorac/J.Murray to win

Odds : - 190

Where : 5dimes

4.75 units to win 2.5 units


Neither of those teams played together before but I fancy real doubles players to win this . Butorac is a big guy with strong serve and nice net coverage , Jamie Murray is a solid doubles player as well . Overall I think real doubles players have advantage with those old ADV rules ( not deciding point on deuce ) .

Wager Type : WTA Doubles

Australian Open Women's Doubles

Start time : 11:30PM (EST)

D.Cibulkova/V.Razzano vs A.Medina Garrigues/V.Ruano Pascual

My pick is A.Medina Garrigues/V.Ruano Pascual to win

Odds : - 170

Where : 5dimes

4.25 units to win 2.5 units


Spanish women have 62-29 record playing together , last year won French Open , reached semis here in Australian Open , US Open and won silver medal in the Olympics .

Doubles record : 224-144 + 559-246 !

Razzano has 44-63 doubles record and Cibulkova is at 9-18 . Neither are good doubles players , remember watching Cibulkova play doubles with Hrbaty in Hopman Cup 2 weeks ago and she was pretty bad . Never seen Razanno play but looking at this record I don't think she is all that great either .


That is it in doubles , cant find anything else solid .

Cant see Beck in the 3rd round of a Grand Slam , that being said Melzer is a headcase like Soderling or Mathieu but hopefully he doesn't keep it close .

You dont beat A.Radwanska only to lose against a clay courter like Lino , do you ?! Lino played just 10 matches on hardcourts in the last 400 days ( 4 tournaments ) .

I've bet against them in the previous round and was worried they win 7-6 7-6 , exactly what happened . I think Kas and Wassen wont be able to break them and will only hope to force a tiebreak . Kas and Wassen probably will at some point get broken before they can hold 6 times to reach a tiebreak tho .

Still solid odds the way I see this match , Lu beat Nalbandian in the previous round but IMO this isn't such a big deal , last year Nalbandian lost after 2-0 sets lead in Rolland Garros to Chardy so he isn't the most reliable player out there . Robredo played great in two previous rounds .

Victoria Azarenka vs Amelie Mauresmo

My pick is Victoria Azarenka to win

Odds : 1.30

Where : betfair

10 units to win 3 units


I believe Mauresmo has close to no chance here , I've backed her in the first round at slightly better price against another belarussian and she won with a scare , struggled in the last round and should be out if her opponent wasn't of such a low quality .
Azarenka keeps her strong form after winning Brisbane tournament 2 weeks ago she remains unbeaten in 2009 with impressive 12-0 sets record + her last opponent retired early last round and she had much more rest than Mauresmo who went full distance to win a close match against Baltacha .
Also Mauresmo had to retire in that same tournament Azarenka won , Mauresmo retired being 0-4 2 breaks down against Bartoli who then lost in the finals to Azarenka 3-6 1-6 .

I don't think Mauresmo is an opponent Azarenka will struggle with , she is not the type of player to give her problems . They already played once 3 monthes ago where Azarenka won 6-2 6-1 without dropping her serve once and breaking Mauresmo 5 times .

Hey Braniac...in your opion, what futures has the most value to win the Australian open??

Roddick +4500 ? seems pretty good, he could catch Djok after a tough 4-5 setter against Baghdatis.

who do you like?

 

[TheBrainiac]

I think Federer or Murray win this thing as for value I am not sure , nobody really impressed me here .

 

[WorldNumberOne]

hey brain , what sites do you use for all your info ?

 

[TheBrainiac]

I watch most matches online , I use tennisinsight just to check h2h records and all that stuff , most match previews there are no use in my opinion .

I hate betting on WTA and my percentage is so low. But Sveta is not in her best form. Lets give chance for Bondarenko
value Alona Bondarenko : Huge Bet

Like what the hell in this ? Lets give chance ? Huge bet ? :lol:


And I am not even saying Alona Bondarenko cant beat this mental woman , just waste of time to read stuff like that .
