    Zheng -130 over Pervak is a solid bet tomorrow at Indian Wells

    This line will increase tomorrow. Grab it early while its still only -130

    Zheng's groundstrokes will overpower Pervak. Zheng had a very solid tournament last week at Dubai. She notched four straight wins at Dubai and normally is pretty rock solid in opening round matches. Pervak hasnt done much this year. Zheng's double backhand/forehand style blends in well with these hardcourts. They can be overpowering for lower ranked players. Getting her at only -130 is an excellent number. I can see this going to -150 or higher by tomorrow.


    Best of Luck

    ------------------------------------Zheng -130 ---------------------------------

    I actually think the price is going to stay or continue to move slightly the other way. Lots of people I have seen around are on Pervak - including all the TI tips. Seems like a coin toss type match to me.

    Good luck Magic. I dont understand all the love for Pervak at all. She has played one match since the Australian Open, which she lost, Zheng made it to the round of 16 in Dubai.There is nothing in Pervaks numbers to explain all the love for her at this price.

    The only factor I can see why the oddsmakers set it this low is due to Zheng's age. She' turning 30 this year. Maybe they believe she's due for a letdown soon?

    Regardless, she's showing no signs of slowing down, evident of her performance on a similar surface at Dubai.

    Good luck

    Well I got my Det ML working in my favor so far. As for Zheng not so much down a set. Hopefully she can pull through.

    Not watching but following on Flashscore and cannot believe what I'm seeing. Is Zheng playing that poorly?

    It's bad. Consider yourself lucky for not watching the match. I just turned it off and will get updates on my phone instead. You can count it as a loss.

    Zheng loses the first set: 1-6

    Why do you think it was a good bet? Pervak's prior injury?

    Dont worry about it magic, zheng and pervak both have poor betting rankings on matchstat, I dont really have much experience betting either and dont have much to go on. I am more surprised by Berankis and Lauren Davis. Berankis always disappoints. Vasek Pospisil????

    Well, I'm really interested in why you think it was a good bet. What reasons made you find value in Zheng -130?

    Also, do you find Davis that surprising Gregm?

    Where do you guys watch the matches? Been looking all over the interwebz, but seems to me they won't film/produce any matches before friday..

    I don't live in the us, so I don't get ESPN3 or something like that, but there are usually always streams whenever a match is actually produced.

    I shouldnt be surprised about Davis, her numbers were good this year but she is only 19. Halep just withdrew from Dubai, huge line move on Davis, line opened at -141 and closed at -217 at Pinny. Halep seemed fine out there.lol

    Did you stream or watch on a channel?

    A piece of advice: Always look at who's behind the numbers.

    Hardcoar........your being known as the clown who always chimes in after the result.
    Don't ask the man where he saw value after the match already lost. I'm sure you've lost with players at higher then -130 before.

    Thank you!

    Please see post 11, including time stamp.

    I'm simply asking why anyone thought it was a great bet in the first place. I didn't get an answer pre-match, and I haven't got one post-match. I'm trying to learn the reasoning of the pick, so spare me please.
