Erlich and Ram are on 13-1 run with Australian Open title this year and only loss to Tursunov and Berdych where the duo from Israel couldnt overcome their strong serving opponents who ended up winning this tournament .
They didnt drop a single set so far in this tournament with 8-0 sets record and only twice their opponents were able to win 4 games in one set against them . They won their sets 6:1 x 2 , 6:2 x 2 , 6:3 x 2 and 6:4 x 2 . In the last two matches they had to play very strong teams in Mahesh Bhupathi/Mark Knowles and M. Mirnyi/J. Murray but beat them both in straight sets .
Their opponents are indeed experienced doubles players too however they only played 26 times together . They also had weaker opponents in this tournament but I see them struggling against the duo from Israel who are better players on hardcourts .
I think Erlich and Ram will take the title today in two sets .

My pick is J.Erlich/A.Ram to win

Odds : 1.75 + 1.67

Bet365 has better line at 1.83,however since both sides are at 1.83
i wonder is it just out ignornace as yesterday was same case in semi
or is it because the other double really strong just not as experienced
as the Israeli one but has better potential,reason they didn't play much
the last couple of months was due to injury of one of the guys,
don't recall now who was it but apparently they get back into good form
too or would have not reached the final here.

I have small bet on 3 sets,i think maybe this one will be close.
Don't mind Elrich/Ram to win 2-1..LOL

BTW you got so many plays but i don't see any total ,also wonder what is unit worth for you
as at times i see 100 units and on others much less.

Dont have an account at bet365 but guess I will have to register one soon .
First I would like to say that I dont really bet on sports for living , of course I know what I am betting on but there is no real system behind my bets , I just place whatever I feel is the right amount for that play . I was very confident Kuznetsova would beat Radwanska so I placed a very large amount on it . Betting the way I do it on tennis or soccer can make you go broke if you make few wrong picks in a row and I know it .
I play online poker for living up to 10$-20$ blinds cash games and some tournaments here and there .

 

[Betting4Fun]

Well as my nick i bet for fun too,but was just wondering for your record
and unit value..GL today.

 

[TheBrainiac]

Only one bet today .

26 March

Wager Type : ATP Handicap

ATP Sony Ericsson Open, Miami, FL, USA

Start time : 2:15PM (EST)

Robin Haase vs Michael Berrer

My pick is Michael Berrer + 4 games

Odds : -106

Bookmaker : pinnaclesports

5.3 units to win 5 units

 

[Hope1]

looking real good man

don't understand that line with Spadea--is he hurt? lost last week 1 and 1. Line keeps dropping to a clay courter, albiet a plyer that cruised thru qualies.

:think2:

 

[TheBrainiac]

No read at all , logic would say Spadea takes it but I am not sure how Cuevas plays on these courts , hes solid on clay but what can he do on faster courts ? I dunno .

 

[Hope1]

yep, the line just doesnt make sense. I've never seen Cuevas play. That 1 and 1 beating last week for Vince is worrisome, mayeb he just tanked? He has a solid track record in Florida

i kinda want to pull the trigger :think2:......think i'll stay away

 

[TheBrainiac]

I will try to limit myself to maybe 2 bets in a day at most because when I have bunch of games pending I tend to chase when something goes wrong . This one was my only bet today , like Haas over Kiefer at 1.71 but will skip it as I am not sure whats up with Tommy but Kiefer is playing really terrible .

 

[Hope1]

Haas pulled out, sinus infection still bothering him

 

[TheBrainiac]

Aight . Reynolds + 175 vs Safin tomorrow hmmmmmmm .... Is Marat still interested or out for some fun in the US ?

 

[rhinooooo]

Great hit on Berrer man.

I was also thinking about Reynolds. Plays solid. Not sure about Safin, but I reckon he'll at least be more motivated in these Masters series. He was close against Melzer at Indian Wells. He can't play worse than he did in the smaller tourneys like Las Vegas...


real shame about Haas pulling out. He was just finding some great form.

 

[TheBrainiac]

Cant bet against Safin in this one but NO WAY I would bet on him either .

 

[Hope1]

 

[TheBrainiac]

I will place one early bet for tomorrow .

27 March

Wager Type : ATP fav ML

ATP Sony Ericsson Open, Miami, FL, USA

Start time : unknown

Dominik Hrbaty vs Ernests Gulbis

My pick is Ernests Gulbis to win

Odds : -270

Bookmaker : pinnaclesports

13.5 units to win 5 units

 

[TheBrainiac]

I am pretty sure odds will be around -300 tomorrow . I dont like 2 sets retirement rule at pinnaclesports but I hope this wont work against me if Hrbaty retires . See no better line at the moment so I will stick with this bookie .

 

[rhinooooo]

hno:

 

[rhinooooo]

Good luck Brain. Hrbaty definitely needs more matches. Hope Gulbis can play a consistent match. He can be pretty wild.

 

[Hope1]

yep i agree rhino. Hrbaty played a competitive match at Sunrise gogin down 6-3 in the 3rd to Haase. He's a veteran so you never know, an inflated line for sure. Hope his struggles continue Brain

 

[Hope1]

6-4 Cuevas after 1st

:wink:
