Australian Open Tennis

[Plunge Penguin]

After lashing out on a pre-series Inter Dom multi of Smooth Crusa/Whatsundermykilt at the odds of $50 and rueing it is now about $152, have turned attentions to the tennis.

What will everyone be on here? Can Nadal topple Federer, or is the world No. 1 over the line?

The females look very, very open indeed...can sense an outsider here for sure.

For what its worth, will work around Federer, Tomas Berdych ($41), James Blake ($21)and one or two others in the men, with Sharapova ($3.25), Hingis ($17), Jankovic ($11 - very, very, very well worth a look at that) and maybe Safina in the women's..although Molik DOES appeal at the $67 on offer.

what can i get for hewitt complaining the courts are too slow

[another grub]

I might have a go at Blake to make the semi's or something like that when those markets are put up....... The Fed Express is over the line...... and I will lay molik at $100 betfair!!!!!!!

[Dutchy]

markets are open at Betfair AG

[mighty_tiger_79]

I will do some form over the weekend to see if i can find a roughie to get through to the semi's like that baghdad bloke last year

[Dutchy]

I think the best method is back a roughie in the mens and if they get through a couple of rounds lay off for a profit...might wait until the draw comes out as you dont want your roughie playing federer in 1st round!!!

might put on a couple of doubles with federer winning....but basically tennis bores me

[Dutchy]

Alright, personally not a big fan of tennis, alright to play but boring to watch...but its a good sport to punt on and for an interest Ive gone these tourney bets -

Federer/Clijsters Double @ $5.68
Murray/Clijsters Double at $100-

and going to try some trading on the tourney (first time for me on tennis)

Bet 1 - A Murray to win Aussie Open
$30- on @ $38- to return $1,140-

Looking at his draw which is excellent he should make the 1/4's where he would face Nadal, the opportunity would be then to lay off for a profit, although Nadal has some injury concerns so may get upset on his way to the 1/4's...lets see how this plays out and if I can lock in a profit...

[mighty_tiger_79]

ive backed RODDICK to win the first set of his match today

i took 6-1 $15 at $5

6-0 had $7 at $9

[mighty_tiger_79]

RODDICK lost first set 7-6 to some frog eater!!!!!!!!

maybe that win the other day over the fed express has gone to his head

[Dutchy]

My man Andy Murray wina Round 1 6-0, 6-1, 6-1 and now into $29-....go deep lad!!!

Hate to say it, Dutchy, but I follow the tennis quite closely, and wouldn't expect Murray to go past the quarters at best. Yet to meet a really big server here, which will be his undoing. I would look very seriously at Blake at the $17 on offer in the men's...a genuine chance of getting to the final. On a very hot day, could really bring about Federer's undoing.

The women's is going to schedule at this stage, but Mauresmo looking good at the $5.00 on offer. Well worth a double, these two.

Perce = I dont think you read the post...i dont expect hm to win it, he has an easy draw until the 1/4's were he would face Nadal, at that satge I would lay off for a profit

With all due respect why would you back Blacke at 17's???? you can get $32- elsewhere, nearly double....also Mauresmo is $5.90 elsewhere...dont fall for the PUNITAB trap

I put this in the (wrong) other thread -

Im having a spec multi bet today -


Win CHELA, Juan (ARG)
Win TURSUNOV, Dmitry (RUS)
Win GROSJEAN, Sebastian (FRA)
Win CLEMENT, Arnaud (FRA)
Win MURRAY, Andrew (GBR)

$14.17 Divvie

[mighty_tiger_79]

well ive had a look at the second round mens games and i come up with a selection that I think is a good bet. DUTCHY has also found it in his multi

SEBASTIAN GROSJEAN, i got $2.30. not sure what he did in round 1 but I wasnt impressed by his opponent ROCCHUS against Guccione when it went to 5 sets.

[another grub]

Cant believe I could have got $1.90 Gonzales and didnt take it today!!!!! after you shoot mal.... I should be next in line!!!!

[Dutchy]

My Main man A Murray wins in straight sets again tonight, thru to the 1/4's to face Nadal...that will be a cracker....tossing up whether to lay off or take a risk, the way he is playing I might risk him

[another grub]

Nadal is going well to dutchy.... what price would you have them?????? Nadal to good for mine!!!!!
