    Spot Bet - St Petes WTA about 8PM ET

    I usually look for spots to bet Makarova, but think this is great spot to fade her.

    8603 Ekaterina Makarova +140
    8604 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova -158

    8603 Ekaterina Makarova (+1.5 Sets) o -160
    8604 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (-1.5 Sets) o +142

    8603 Ekaterina Makarova (-1.5 Sets) o +290
    8604 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (+1.5 Sets) o -340




    Makarova was still in Australia playing doubles 3 days ago whilst Pavly was out of everything down under 11 days ago.

    Makarova hates this surface, avoids it but has to play it in home country. Record is like 1-5 when she has in last 5 years.

    Pavly on other hand, this is her best surface, she likes slow courts and has won 3 or 4 WTA titles on it.


    Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova -158 3u
    Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (-1.5 Sets) +142 1u

    It makes sense but once they hit the court not much makes sense in woman's tennis

    I kind of thought that after I posted. If it loses I'll stick the motor racing picks in future.

    Did this match get pushed out by a day? My book showing Wednesday at 1:07 EST start time. It was Tuesday at 1:07am start when I originally placed the wager. Rest benefits Makarova.

    Maybe that's what tricked me.

    Agree extra day works against the bets, but still like them a lot. If any news suggesting Maka not happy comes across social media before match I might even add on.

    Rule of thumb is fade previous weeks event winner in early rounds if a spot is there to try.

    She has only chosen to play 11 matches on a similar surface since 2010 and lost 10 of them.

    Her best surface is grass and then fast hardcourts. This is one of the slowest surfaces around.

    Please dont tell me they changed the surface or I have got something wrong there?

    looks like match isn't until wednesday got another day to wait which is good because betting on womens tennis can be bad for the heart and even taken years off your life

    Got me too! Different books had different dates and times from the beginning.

    But a round one match on a Wednesday is quite strange. Hope the fix isn't in to get Makarova through here!

    You probably jumped on it when the order of play was not announced yet, so every match had the same starting time - monday, the start of the tournament.

    1st round on wendsdays are not that rare. Especially on smaller tournaments indoors, when there is not so many courts available as at the outdoor tournaments, so they have to figure something out.

    i don't bet much tennis at all, no expert not even close i'm taking a shot with this girl today
    1017 Viktoria Kuzmova +250


    i like how she has gone thru qualfiying and played 3 times on the court, kasatkina hasn't played in a while and she has lost 4 of her last 5 matches, i wathced the match she played in australia and lost to the polish girl and i wasn't impressed at all last year in this tourny she lost her 2nd match to a player ranked about the same as kuzmova

    The money line is off the board for the Makarova match as of 30 minutes ago. All other wager options still available. ML went from -165 to -185 this morning and now it is off.

    Bummer I saw she was kicking ass in first set and figured you had a winner.

    Pavlyuchenkova down a set but far from out of the match. She needs to take control of this second set and get an early break.
