not looking good

**Byrone09** · 01-03-13, 02:12 AM

Any other plays I might miss by going to sleep for the next 7 hours?

It's ridiculous how often I've been checking this thread in the past few days.

Non-stop action in Sando land!

Well, the only other play I got in on today was Goffin. Oh well, we'll make it back! Bertens can always come on strong this 2nd set. You guys still have a shot!

**sportsguy04** · 01-03-13, 02:29 AM

Bertens taking 2nd set!

Byrone, I like the following...

Sela to beat Paire.
Sela defeated Paire in the same tourny last yr. Heading into this game he is in slightly better form. Books have him as a dog, so maybe take the handicap if cautious.

L Lacko v R Gasquet
I put a wager on Lacko last night, and he won in straight sets comfortably (although Gasquet is a totally different player to Troicki). Gasquet needed to go to 3 sets to win against Zemlja, who is ranked similar to Lacko, but I think Lacko is a better player than Zemlja.
Books have Gasquet as a clear favourite. I think Lacko is good for a set, if not an outside chance for the game.

I'm also lookin at R Bautista-Agut v M Bachinger....tough one to call, but leaning towards Bachinger...dunno yet.

Don't know what Sando thinks, would love to hear his thoughts on these.

Didn't realise he had added this one, but looks like we agree on that one

Kiki pulls out the second set win in tie break

**thorny** · 01-03-13, 03:11 AM

Bertens 2nd set! Hopefully momentum is with her.

She's battling hard! Almost breaking GM1.

**wunlo19** · 01-03-13, 03:25 AM

she's running out of gas

**thorny** · 01-03-13, 03:34 AM

yeah you're right...she's buggered

Fell asleep at the computer? Oh well, I have to head to bed, hope I don't miss too much. Good luck all!

pressures on sando to produce a winner

**shari91** · 01-03-13, 04:00 AM

Kick some ass Sando! Remember mate... you could win every bet you make for a week... doesn't make you a star. You could lose every one you make for a week and it doesn't make you a dego loser. Variance is a roller coaster but it eventually evens out. You're a brave guy to post your plays every day and I wish nothing but the best for you. Do your own thing and forget the noise. Best time of the tennis season now for fans so just enjoy it!

*Nishikori to have a break out season this year. This guy is a stock on the rise. One to watch in 2013. No matter that it's early season, Nishi is very professional, plays every match to win (like Ferrer).

WTA Aukland

Hampton v Bertens
Bertens +3 (-105, $1.95 Pinnacle) 1x - Loser
* Kiki playing well, with two solid wins already over Kuznetsova and Watson, both as a dog. Also she has won 6 of her last 7 againsat big servers. (Starts in 30 mins).

ATP Chennai

Sela v Paire
Sela +2.5 (-109, $1.91 Pinnacle) 1x

Hopman CupTomic v Seppi
Tomic -1.5 (-110, $1.90 Sportingbet) 1x
*Hate this little brat, however he has beaten Haas and Djokovic already this tournament, whilst Seppi has lost in straight sets to the same two guys. Tomic has copped it in the media and from the general public here in Australia, basically for being a dick, a tanker, and not acting very Australian. He got blasted by our own Tennis legend in Pat Rafter in the media last year, and while this may only be an exhibition tournament, he is representing "his" country here and I think he may be playing with a chip on his shoulder, and I like that a lot. No denying the kid has talent (when he isn't dragging his feet across the court). Definitely worth a unit.

Bump

you real confident in nishikori? need a winner badly

It's a 2.5 unit play so in my opinion he's confident. Nobody can never guarantee it's gonna hit 100%...

**ineedbeers** · 01-03-13, 04:42 AM

Don't put that sort of pressure on Sando.

i'm sure a dude who is ex-military and runs two security gigs feels very insecure right now. i'm not going to blame him if i tail and lose because i rarely tale, i look for second opinions. I'm in a slump atm and need a winner, that is all.

I like this one, not just because of Nishi, but I think Dolgopolov has a bad attitude if he is down, pretty much throws in the towel.

Mate been on fire in the tennis to start the year, you haven't followed any?

Quote from THE authority in Tennis - Nick Bollettieri

"If Kei's serve continues to improve, and if he continues to play an attacking game, he could end up becoming a top-10 player," the legendary coach Bollettieri said last year. "He is the highest-ranked Japanese in their history. He's a great player, he has great movement, and he's a shot-maker."

He also compares him to Ferrer (the ultimate compliment) in the same article.

**thorny** · 01-03-13, 05:31 AM

I think most of Tomic's bratty behaviour comes from his old man...

**sando** · 01-03-13, 05:36 AM

Up and coming talent to keep your eye on in 2013...

ATP
Kei Nishikori
Jersey Janowicz
Grigor Dimitrov
David Goffin
Benoit Paire

WTA
Laura Robson
Heather Watson
Sloane Stevens
Madison Keys

...As some may have noticed I have already had plays on many of these players in my thread. I have been betting on tennis for 10+ years and one of my favorite angles has always been to follow the rising talent and look for good spots to back them in, before the books catch up. (Milos Raonic - classic example. You will almost never find any value on this guy anymore).

**jayec** · 01-03-13, 05:42 AM

Anyone know the propper time of the nishikori match? My. Book had it starting 45 minutes ago

**Sam_Hawkins** · 01-03-13, 05:43 AM

I wonder how the nishkori match will end up - cos even though dolgo has very bad attitude, if he is on a roll, he can beat any top player...if he is not, he can lose to any 50+ player...soo yeah, tough betting for/against him
(fun fact - i used to train on the same courts as him

) )

**JPlayerz** · 01-03-13, 05:54 AM

Been tailing for a few weeks now Sando, and you're the man. Only reason my bank is still alive.

Nishikori has dropped to 1.57 on bet365.

I like those players. Still think Goffin is a year off, basically one step behind Dimitrov.

Bet 365 is offering the worst price available on Nishi. Avoid.

**aussieH** · 01-03-13, 06:01 AM

Add tomic to the men's list.

Australia will embrace this guy as he keeps winning

**ShotgunRua** · 01-03-13, 06:02 AM

Hope Daimo can afford his heating bill this month!

**aussieH** · 01-03-13, 06:03 AM

Really like schiavonne in the singles. She should be 1.20 but books are offering 1.50. Maybe parlay into nishokiri for a better price

**JPlayerz** · 01-03-13, 06:06 AM

Thanks for the advise mate. Slowly learning to discipline my bank as well. So I'm going to sleep tonight out, and start again tomorrow with Spurs being dogs...

That price is very very suspicous and I do love to fade Schiavone on hard courts. The only thing that stops me is her opponent is literally a girl (16 I think)?
