Wimbeldon

[Seagullsrock]

I like Tamarine Tanasugarn in the womens tonight at $1.50. Be careful with Haas- Canas' record against him is 4-1 although they have never played each other on grass and only once on clay which is surprising.

 

[Tom Shines]

Yeah I was thinking about taking Canas personally, but decided to steer well clear of that match.

 

[Tom Shines]

Only if you know what matches are going to be thrown :lol:

Nikolai Davydenko's ones, usually.

Well well well, look what happened:

Becker bt Davydenko (4) 6-4 6-4 6-4

Saw it coming a mile away.

 

[rabs]

Haas got up after a poor first set but all my bets fizzled

 

[rabs]

tonight taking a long shot in Hewitt and Djokovic to win 3 sets to 1, the multi pays 16.50ish, has come down $3 already in two hours, in the womens Dellacqua and Vaidisova winning 2-0 the multi payng 4.37

 

[Tom Shines]

f**king Nalbandian goes out in straight sets to some nuffy. He lost in the French Open to a roughie as well. He's either a grand slam choker, or more likely, a cheat.

Let's try that again:

1 Errani v Hantuchova (Backing Daniela Hantuchova @ 1.36)
2 Chan v Safina (Backing Dinara Safina @ 1.06)
3 Ventura v Schuettler (Backing Rainer Schuettler @ 1.33)
4 Odesnik v Nieminen (Backing Jarkko Nieminen @ 1.36)
5 Isner v Gulbis (Backing Ernests Gulbis @ 1.38)
6 Govortsova v Petrova (Backing Nadia Petrova @ 1.18)
7 Bjorkman v Clement (Backing Arnaud Clement @ 1.6)
8 Castano v Mirza (Backing Sania Mirza @ 1.17)

$50 @ 7.93

That's better.

I had another eight legger that almost got up, just Melzer ruined it.
I was after Malisse/Ljubicic/Kiefer/Zvonerova/Grosjean/Schuttler/Stepanek/Robredo @ $8.40

 

[Tom Shines]

1 Andreev v Ferrer (Backing David Ferrer @ 1.26)
2 Baghdatis v T Johansson (Backing Marcos Baghdatis @ 1.16)
3 Berdych v Hanescu (Backing Tomas Berdych @ 1.16)
4 O Rochus v Verdasco (Backing Fernando Verdasco @ 1.17)
5 Dellacqua v Parmentier (Backing Casey Dellacqua @ 1.3)
6 Bartoli v Perebiynis (Backing Marion Bartoli @ 1.17)
7 Kuznetsova v K Bondarenko (Backing Svetlana Kuznetsova @ 1.3)
8 Bolelli v F Gonzalez (Backing Fernando Gonzalez @ 1.18)

Paying a stingy $4.59, but fairly confident of it. Second round is usually a bit easier than the first I find.

just put that together on sportstab and it's paying $4.83

 

[Tom Shines]

Well that's an extra bit of coin for you when it gets up. Problem is with Betfair sometimes if you bet too early, the prices just aren't there.

And I was watching that Ljubicic/Melzer game online, when Ivan came from two sets down to make it two-all, Melzer was paying as much as 3.80. Should have cut my losses, but there you go.

very unlucky only Gonzales being unable to win the tie-breakers killing the bet

 

[rabs]

tonight I'll go
Nadal, Azarenka, Safina, Petrova, Zvonareva, Wozniacki
payout is $2.94 on sportstab

 

[Tom Shines]

Yeah I know, what a bugger.

How about Safin eh? He was sensational, just like in the 2005 Aus Open. Same circumstances, coming back from injury and out of form, and he just destroyed everything Novak threw at him. He's another that I don't bet on, he's too hot and cold. And boy was he hot.

Only 30 minutes before start of play, I'll quickly dial up another multi.

 

[Tom Shines]

1 Melzer v Levine (Backing Jurgen Melzer @ 1.32)
2 Zvonareva v Tanasugarn (Backing Vera Zvonareva @ 1.5)
3 Hsieh v Safina (Backing Dinara Safina @ 1.1)
4 Stepanek v Troicki (Backing Radek Stepanek @ 1.25)
5 Wozniacki v Wozniak (Backing Caroline Wozniacki @ 1.15)
6 Peer v Loit (Backing Shahar Peer @ 1.45)
7 Dementieva v Bacsinszky (Backing Elena Dementieva @ 1.15)
8 Roddick v Tipsarevic (Backing Andy Roddick @ 1.19)


Bit worried about Peer though, not really a proven slam performer. May have to bet against her if the going starts getting tough.
Don't like Blake v Schuttler tonight, I think James might be in a bit of trouble.

 

[Tom Shines]

Just hedged $40 at $2 on Tarasugarn with the scores at 7-6 3-3

How can you put bets on while the game is on? Sounds stupid to me anyway and just takes the point out of betting especially after you've taken Zvonareva in the multi and all of a sudden changed to Tanasugarn. How bout we just put our tips in before the game starts and leave it at that rather than this stupid changing during the game?

 

[BWNB]

f**k i have Zvonareva for the win in a multi with Nadal winning his game 3 sets to one.

Betfair mate.
I knew she was in trouble, which is why I bet against her to at least get my money back.
Even if Zvonereva had won, it would only take a small dint out of the prize pool.

 

[rabs]

yep zvonareva was the only one I didn't get too, Tanasugarn has a good wimbledon record so probably should not have bet against her.
How about Sharapova out! works for my bet on Venus to win as they were in the same side of the draw, Venus is looking a bit rusty though
