Tough formula when the top seeds keep winning.

They won't win every week. And hitting just 1 per week looks like it will be enough to profit. I'm enjoying the challenge either way.

Results for week 7

Hit Krajicek +255 over Zahlavova-Strycova +10 units
Missed Han +523 over Goerges even
Roddick wins even
Soderling wins -3.78 units
Almagro wins even
Wozniacki wins -2.2 units

1-3 +4.02 units for the week

Overall 2011

2-4 +10.12 units

Targets For Week 8

Dubai - Roger Federer
Acapulco - David Ferrer
Delray Beach - Andy Roddick

Acapulco - Julia Goerges

Anabel Medina Garrigues +150 over Goerges to win 2 units
Medina Garrigues/Wawrinka/Nishikori +467 to win 3 units

**Optional** · 02-24-11, 04:17 AM

Perfect, +5 units.

Very pleased I jagged that one. Although feel silly for wimping out with the 5 unit go now.

Just going to watch today's matches looking for a possible play in the semis on Wawrinka against Ferrer and Del Potro against Fish (who replaced Roddick as top seed)

Not sure about Wozi so will probably leave Doha alone now.

I've fallen into taking this one under the weight of peer group pressure.

Bartoli +430 to win 3 units
Bartoli +4.5 Games +116 to win 1.5 units
Bartoli/Wozniacki Over 19.5 Games -109 to win 1.5 units
Bartoli/Federer/Del Potro/Fish +652 to win 4 units

**Optional** · 02-26-11, 01:11 PM

Ouch.. -4.39 units

Missed Djoko over Federer (in fact did my ass on Fed)
Missed Zvonareva over Wozniacki.

I've backed Fish to beat Del Potro and Ferrer to beat Almagro, so those might be a good fade, the way my top seed picks are going today. LOL

Results for Week 8

Hit Medina Garrigues +150 over Goerges +5 units

Ferrer wins even

1-1 +0.61 units for the week

Should have done better in a week with 4 top seeds falling. :\

Overall 2011

3-5 +10.73 units

Rik De Voest +5000 v Nadal to win 10 units.

Couldn't not have a shot when the risk is just .2

Not that I think he has much chance. But he isn't a total donkey, and who knows what might happen with injuries once they are out there.

**Optional** · 03-15-11, 09:50 AM

Somdev Dev Varman +3500 v Nadal to win 10 units.

Made the final in Joberg before losing to Federer 63 63 in Dubai. Beat Tipsarevic a week or so ago in Davis Cup and has won 10 of 11 sets played in this tourney so far, including cleaning up 7 of those sets 6-3 or better (5 of them 6-2 or better actually).

The early big odds on betfair made it too good to resist a shot with just .3 risk.

Pinny has him at +2000

**Optional** · 03-16-11, 10:01 PM

^^ Anyone watching this match?

Great match so far. This Dev Varman character has some real class.

**Optional** · 03-17-11, 12:07 AM

Nadal 7-5 6-4. But happy to have lost the bet, as making it made me watch the match.

Some of the games were epic battles in themselves. A bunch of them in fact.

Dev Varman will never be +3500 again in his career imho. What a cool customer. And a fighter.

He won a new fan here.

**pdprodigy** · 03-17-11, 12:29 AM

Azarenka is toast. No match for Wozniacki.

**Optional** · 03-17-11, 02:11 AM

Yeah. Wozzi looks to be on a mission this week to me. Leaving her alone probably.

Going to take Karlovic, who seems to have got his net game back this tourney, and Del Potro in the semi if needed against Nadal though.

Karlovic +580 v Nadal to win 10 units

Azarenka +295 v Wozniacki to win 2 units
Azarenka/Wozniacki 3 sets +230 to win 2 units
Azarenka +4.5 games +104 to win 1 unit

**Optional** · 03-18-11, 07:48 PM

Anzarenka no action. Should have taken Karlovic +4.5 games for half the bet.

Maria Sharapova +275* vs Caroline Wozniacki
Juan Martin del Potro +195* vs Rafael Nadal

both to win 2 units each.

I'm away for the weekend now, so that's it for this week.

**Tsonga** · 03-18-11, 08:38 PM

Looking forward to the Nadal/delpo matchup. Should be interesting.
