    Tsurenko, Dodig or Tomic?

    I need a big dog to use for a promo bet that pays 50% over the odds.

    Trying to decide if any of these have much chance at all today?


    Lesia Tsurenko* +550 vs Caroline Wozniacki

    Ivan Dodig* +875 vs Richard Gasquet

    Bernard Tomic* +700 vs Roger Federer


    Wozi and Gasquet are often good fades, but just not sure either Tsurenko or Dodig are up to the job of knocking them over. And who knows what Tomic might pull out for the big crowd, but feel like Fed is in the mood and form to serve him up a good ole whooping too.

    Anyone feeling it for any of them?

    what should be the odds? I really like monfils at this stage...simon hasn't shown anything impressive so far, actually his last match was really far from that, tons of UE, a lotta struggle...on the other hand, monfils seems pretty legit (even though he's so unstable) and motivated...the fact that he won his first round against dolgo quite easily speaks for itself...his last match was a five setter cos he tanked the third one (dunno why tho, guess some physical issues)...his serve is on fire right now unlike simon's...
    that's my opinion, feel free not to mind it, but i sense a lot of value in 2.5
    gl with your play

    I agree. If I HAD to pick one, I'd go Dodig but I think it's a huge longshot

    If I had to throw money away, I'd put it on Chardy... I'll go to war with his serve.

    Tomic and Tsurenko will lose in straight sets. No value on either, IMO.

    Does the bet need to be today?

    Dodig has an outside shot...... guy is loaded with potential. He played a close 3 setter against ferrer back about 4 months ago. When motivated Dodig can play anybody from top 10-30 ranking well

    Thanks for all the replies.

    My internet died straight after posting this thread so could not read it all until now.


    bet has to be at odds of +500 or more and a parlay. (so figured if I like a dog I can parlay with Fed/Murray/Williams and get paid 50% over the odds)

    Can win up to $100 in bonus per day. So does not have to be today.


    here's another way to hit the +500 mark...

    Serena 2-0/Tsonga/Murray/Raonic/Federer/Vesnina/Stephens/Wozniacki = +505

    That looks like a goer.

    Anderson +350 against Berdych too might eb worth a try with this tomorrow.

    Decided to go with: Tsurenko/Serena +583

    Bonus payout makes it +925.

    Same deal for today.

    Which dog do I take out of these?


    Ekaterina Makarova* +248 vs Angelique Kerber

    Ana Ivanovic* +365 vs Agnieszka Radwanska

    Kevin Anderson* +355 vs Tomas Berdych


    I'm leaning Makarova but concerned with how badly Kerber dominated her 3 times last year.

    I have a future on Ivanovic or probably would have just taken her for this without asking actually.

    Probably the right way to go...

    Ivanovic is probably the best value. Azarenko really lacked composure yesterday and if Ivanovic is aggressive, she should be able to force Azarenko to make a lot of errors.

    I kind of like Anderson +2.5 sets (-150), but I don't think he'll have the gas to win 3 sets, seeing as he's still alive in doubles as well and hasn't had much time to rest. Berdych was 4-0 against Anderson last year and has been efficient thus far. It's a tough spot for Anderson.

    Ivanovic isnt playing AzarenkA, she's playing Radwanska.

    Wow... My bad.

    I guess Ana is still the best of them, but she hasn't looked great so far, and I don't think I would play any of them.

    Makarova barks as the dog yet again. Shame I didn't use her for this but at least backed her straight.

    It's mad how often the girl will win as a dog, whilst being totally unreliable when a fave a lot of the time. I love her.
