Yeah.. and just before the match bet365 offered 9.00 for Waw...

I bet on Pennetta as well, as she was very good in her last 2 matches (vs Barthel and Kerber) but Na Li is not nearly inconsistent and psycho as her last two opponents and... yeah, the result speaks for itself.

Anyone thinks there is good value on Cibulkova (2.30)? Halep is very very good but I think she didn't show her best vs Diyaz and Jankovic. Also, she is without a trainer now...

Not a fish at all. If you were getting in on the Ferrer lines when they were peaking, it was a huge and easy hedge bet. You could have either picked a side and freerolled or split the your value down the middle. I made the mistake of only hedging enough to break even if Ferrer lost. We were betting a huge underdog here at times, and once the spread adjusted to reality, turning a profit should have been easy.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to hedge my 100-1 Berdych ticket (couldn't be happier about Wawrinka winning). Does anyone know what the ~ odds would be for Berdych vs Murray,Fedderer or Nadal?

Dimitrov(0.50 unit)
have to take Dimitrov here with this line...on a good day he can do it especially that Nadal may have a little knee injury he got in his last match and also a big blister on his left hand(he is lefty) that really bothers him....the tactics for Dimitrov is "simple". he has to take the ball early so that Nadal wont have time to make his big backswing to do his big lift, that way he will plays shorter balls with less lift and power and he can be attacked.....Dimitrov can do it even if it wont be easy of course but he can do the upset!!!

as being swiss its of course my heart choice ...i love my Roger!!!loool....but he is in very good shape, playing very well since the start of the year and the surface is very quick this year which is good for Roger...Murray after his back injury and his long delay of not playing (2 months) because of that is not at his best phisically...in his last match, he was cramping at the end of the 4th set even if it was an "easy" match....he wont be an easy win but i see a 3-4 sets win for Roger!!!

ATP HEIBRON CHALLENGER

im a big fan of this player...he has a beautifull game...beautifull forehand, beautifull one hand backhand, beautifull serve, beautifull volley....he is sooo talented but his mind is soooo lazy!!!...he can be very annoying someting and throw away matches after losing the first set....but indoor on hard court he can do the upset with no problem with his good attacking game....this guy if one of the biggest waste of talent ive ever seen...he should be in the top 20-30 with no problem(he is ranked only 100th)....but he had a good year last year...i saw many of his matches and his attitude was much better...hope it will continue this year!!!

one of my favorite player...i know him very well...indoor on fast surface he is very very very good...this guy has a very good serve and volley game and one of the best one hand backhand on the tour.... and he won the same tournament last year!!!...the problem with him is that he is often hurt...he has a very fragile body otherwise he still wd be in the top 50 with no problem despite his age (33yo)!!!

the best player here for sure!!!....it should be a no match but not more than 3 units cause Panvil just played 3 matches in Heibron qualification and kavcic was still in Australia last week....maybe he will lose the first set but should win the next 2 with no problem!!!

Remember how much he used to cramp up before Lendl became his coach? At least now if he is cramping you know he is legitimately hurt and not whining and crying like he did pre Lendl/pre Grand Slam win.

yes he used to be annoying with his fake injuries when he was behind in a match....but he is good...one has to admit it!!

Yes no doubt, once Lendl took over he had remarkable improvements to his game, especially in areas of Lendl's specialties, mental toughness and conditioning. Led to much better deep run results in these majors also.

Whats the Tennis market like? I dont see any line movement. Is tennis solved and openers pretty sharp? Do books just hold their line and fade huge public sides?

Dimitrov just took the first set and your still getting him at 10/3!, was awaiting the line sliding to evens for Nadal so I could hedge a unit but they still have him at 1/5 lol

.....WIN:$156

....it was very very close!!.....but nice fighting win for Nadal...LOSE:$50

.....nice one for my boy!!.....WIN:143

........Rooooooooooooooooger!!!! swiss rules at the australian open!!!....WIN:$240

Hi tennispics,
I have been a long time lurker around the sports betting and poker forums but decided to register to say thanks for the great pics and ask you a question.
Do you ever bet any props on the games? I had Wawrinka to win a set against Djokovic (1.95), Wawrinka vs Djokovic to go 5 sets (5.50) and Dimitrov to win a set against Nadal (2.0). I thought there was good value here particularly in the to win a set market but noticed you only seem to pick outright winners, any reason for this? Do you not see any value in the prop markets?
Keep up the good work!

its true i never do those stuffs!!!i try to keep it simple..the winner only!!!...everytimes i tried the over/under or number of sets or other stuffs i lost!!!im bad at that!!!...so i never do it!!!....but i dont say its bad at all....good for you if it works!!!

...nice easy win!!...the line was way too high...it should have been around (1.25)...not more!!...even if its easy to say after the match!!loool....anyway good for us!!!....WIN:$138

my last pic of the day Berrer-Mertl is being played now....it a great match and a great battle...still very close in the first set....if u want to see Berrer beautifull backhand and good lefty attacking game you can watch it live on the tournament web site: [url]http://www.heilbronn-open.de
