It's under 2013 Hopman cup as the event will run into early January.
Sportingbet-Sports-Tennis-2013 Hopman cup futures.

Sportingbet @ $2.05 and Luxbet @ $2.00 are the best options.

Merry Christmas sando, good luck!

**dmitean** · 12-25-12, 06:19 AM

Yeap, took Thunder ML as well here.
Every possible angle supports Thunder here.
Betting on Thunder off a loss is the best trend in a league I saw the last two years.
Revenge for playoff loss angle, is my favorite angle in the league.
And to add on that, Thunder are 9-0 ATS (+11.0 ppg) since March 31, 2009 as a dog when playing the last game of at least a three game road trip.

Christmas Tennis Special

Hopman Cup (Perth Australia)

Serbia to win outright ($2.05, +105 Sportingbet) 2x
(Novak Djokovic)
(Anna Ivanovic)

The same team that qualified for last years final returns again this year in Anna and the Djoker. Last year they looked completely dominant heading into the final before Anna had to withdraw from the tournament on the eve of the final with an abdominal injury ending the Serbian run. Personally they are very close friends and play well together as a team in the all important doubles matches. Also Serbia as a country has a lot of national pride and any Serbian tennis player who represents their country (Davis, Fed, Hopman cups) treats it as an honour, unlike some who couldn't care less about an "insignificant" event like the Hopman cup. Anna's last match on Nov 3rd was a Fed cup match (National duty) where she looked great in disposing of powerhouse Kvitova in straight sets as a massive dog. Novak in particular will be keen for a good hit out as the Hopman cup plexicushion hardcourts are EXACTLY the same courts as the AUS open hardcourts, the balls are the same, in fact they have tried to replicate as many conditions as possible from the AUS open for the specific purpose of luring the big guns who would understand this is the best possible warm up for the years first grand slam of which Djokovic is of course the big favorite. The Serbian duo were cruising last year before Anna's unfortunate injury and they will no doubt feel as if they have unfinished business to take care of. Also Novak will be keen for a strong performance to fine tune his AUS open preparations. This price (Even money) will drop I expect every day from here in heading into the start of the tournament which is still a few days away, and by the mid point of the tournament do not be surprised to see the Serb's already into $1.50, -200 favouritism. With some books they are already as low as $1.70, -142, so make sure you shop around and take no worse than $1.90, -110, although if you are quick you can still get better than than at many books (Luxbet $2.00, Bet 365 $1.90, 188 bet, betezy, you win).

Yop, Sando u have a good read on Serbs playing for their country, I'm from Croatia and as you probably know we have had a war going on because of strong national pride and some other things... Any way those days are now behind and I hope to make a few bucks on it... Have a Merry Christmas

**Celtics08** · 12-25-12, 10:57 AM

Jus one thing to note mate. I'm not sure if it will involve mixed doubles, but if it does....

Venus is a seasoned pro when it comes to doubles, she's won multiple grandslams with Serena in doubles and Isner has his serve which will leave Venus easy many an easy put away @ the net. Ivanovic rarely plays doubles and doesn't strike me as the most solid vollier and Djokovic rarely contests doubles much. (His net game isn't as good as the rest of his game)

If Ivanovic doesn't beat Venus in the singles, I would be quite worried.

**mvanja** · 12-25-12, 01:24 PM

bet 365 has Serbia at 1,72 (-138)

NBA Card complete.

No total's today. No time for write-up's today. Would have played the Lakers for more than 1x however leaving things until the last minute has been the difference between -2.5 and -4, however this is a big game today for the Lakers and they are finally in a position where they cannot afford to just show up or cruise through on auto-pilot, they have to fight and scrap for every win and I really like that sort of attitude in a dangerous and talent loaded Lakers team.

**dmitean** · 12-25-12, 02:56 PM

Yeap, on LA as well (though took them -3.5).

Why Bulls mate?

I want to take them as well, but not sure they can be trusted right now.

**davopnz** · 12-25-12, 03:15 PM

Hello and first, Merry christmas.
(I'm French so sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language).
I just want to know what does it mean when you mark for example : ''I bet 1,5x ."
I know you are not the only one but i follow your thread because I want to start betting. As you are a good capper i'm curious to know that and how you manage your bankroll.
So for exemple 1,5x represents how much % of your bankroll ?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

if you normally bet $100 the 1x equals $100; 1.5x equals $150; 2x = $200 and so on. Hope that helps.

**sando** · 12-25-12, 11:53 PM

NBA Wednesday

Chicago @ Indiana
Pacers -3.5 (-108, $1.92 IAS/Sportsbet) 3x
*Blizzard in Indiana so unfortunately the game may be called off. Also Deng injured today against Houston and is a game time decision, would be a massive out as he is the Bulls leading scorer. Line is definitely a bit fishy but I have been riding with Indiana through their current run and not going to jump off now at home against a team who were completely woeful on both offence and defence. The fact that the Bulls lost by 20+ today doesn't help our cause as they will of course be fired up/motivated, Thibs will probably be doing some damage in the locker room after the Rockets game. So even though I'm expecting a far better performance from the Bulls I still don't see Indiana losing this game.
GAME POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

Toronto @ SA
Spurs -13 (-108, $1.92 Pinnacle) 2x
*I have trouble putting into words how I feel about this game and I am well aware that the "smart money" is supposedly on Toronto today, i don't care. As usual I will do my own thing and I think the stars have aligned for a beat down in SA today. Call me crazy, but I expect the Spurs to win by around 20+ today. They have a full list available (except for Neal) and Toronto is beat up. The Spurs looked deadly in their last game against Dallas, crushing a decent team that should have been inspired by the return of their leader (Nowitzki) by 39 points. The Spurs second string could start and beat Toronto's starting 5 head to head without a doubt. Toronto has been playing suprisingly well since Bargnani and Lowry went down (as we have found out the hard way) but today their depth will severly be tested against the only team in the NBA that is 12 deep.

NY @ Phoenix
Knicks -2 (-106, $1.94 Pinnacle) 2x

Houston @ Minnesota
Timberwolves -5.5 (-107, $1.93 Pinnacle) 2x
K-Love is back for the Wolves and Pattersons and possibly Parsons are out for the Rockets, two very big outs. Rockets coming off the emphatic win over the Bulls and now playing the back to back against a well rested Timberwolves team who have had 4 days to contemplate the game that got away from them at the death against New York on Dec 23rd. Houston has the higher profile backcourt with Linsanity and Harden, however they cannot play the whole game and it is actually the Wolves backcourt of Rubio, Ridnour, Shved and Barea that I like here, you have 4 quality players who all bring different things to the table and will keep the Wolves backcourt solid for the entire 48 minutes.

Cleveland @ Washington
Wizards -1 (-109, $1.91 Pinnacle) 1.5x
*Cleveland has been very dissapointing lately and even with so many nice guards in the backcourt (Irving, Miles, Waiters, Gibson, Pargo) they still are struggling to score. With Varejao out again it will not help their cause. He is their energy guy, the exact guy that can spark them to go on nice runs and build leads with his hustle play. Of course Washington don't really have anyone who can take advantage of Varejao being out but they are a far better team with Nene back in the line up. They are not as bad as their record (3-22) suggests as there have been many games this season against both quality and mediocre teams where they have been either leading or in a position to win the game in the 4th before fading down the stretch due to the lack of a genuine closer (although Beal has done his best and had plenty of cold blooded moments). A healthy John Wall will make a massive difference to this team. The Wizards 3 wins came in a stretch of 6 games with the last win about 2 weeks ago and since then they have lost 7 in a row and will know that today is by far their best chance to snap the losing streak. I do not see this as a 50/50 game by any means. I think in this position the Wizards are a 3 point better team and something is clearly not right in Cleveland with all the talent they have and an excellent coach in Byron Scott and still they keep losing.

Lakers @ Denver
Lakers +4 (-108, $1.92 IAS/Sportsbet) 1x
*Couldn't care less if the Lakers are a massive public play here. They look like a completely different team with Nash running the point, looks like Kobe has finally found someone he can trust. Also Nuggets would have been lucky to get home at 0300-0400 after playing the late game against the Clippers last night. Yes I am also aware that a favorite trend of many "sharp" bettors is to fade the Lakers on the second game of a B2B. I have taken this into account and other factors which is why this play (that I really like) gets assigned only the 1 unit.

No. This is a fellow tennis punter that's informing Sando. If Sando wants to ever discuss the picks I make and the thoughts he has, agreeing or disagreeing, then he's free to do it there. It was jus incase he missed it. I don't know what reason there was for your post?
