Opti Tennis Picks

[Optional]

Haven't looked at Prague really yet. Checking the hard court tourneys first.

Just off top of my head I'd probably avoid it. I know Bedene is in good form, but Russell is handier on clay than his record suggests. I watched a bit of a semi final against Querrey last month and made a mental note at the time to put him on the be careful list for the rest of the clay court season.

Don't let me sway you though. Haven't really thought about that tourney much yet.

[Optional]

Sweet, Makarova comes through yet again. The girl must look at the odds and try harder if the books diss her I swear. I'd almost bet she has won more 1st rounds as dog than fave in the last 2 years.

In the Athens Challenger I like these guys to advance to 2nd round;

Zopp, Kunitsyn, Zverev, GGP, Matosevic, Bemelmans, Burquier and Beck...

Anyone have any input that might suggest any of those should lose?

I don't care if it's too many. I really like all these.

5/7/2012 12:00 PM Challenger Tennis 507 Gregoire Burquier* -280 vs Alexandros Jakupovic


Love the dog bet on GGP if you want a single. He's been playing a superior class of player to Polansky, whose opponents have been making him look good. Granollers put up a great contest going down against Bautista-Agut in the Rome event last month and I think all things equal he should be too consistent for Polansky to hold off, especially if it goes 3 sets.

i remember reading that Russell was injured and i know bedene is solid at the moment so I thought it might be worth a punt but decided to lay off it. I have tailed small on your first parlay.

Well done on Maka.

Didn't know about the injury.

Oh bum, just tried to start a new open parlay with Duckworth in Rome, but missed it by seconds.

Lopez and Berdych should do the job for you there.

Actually might tail your Barthel and put her with Berdych.

Lopez is off the board at Bookmaker...not a lot to choose from...maybe I will add Berdych to a 2 teamer...cu in the morning tourney mate

Gasquet has a shot Federer leads the series 9-2; however, Gasquet leads the series on clay 2-1! I'm avoiding that match up. Almagro has been playing very well and has made me some money the past couple of days. He won't have enough to take Ferrer IMO his 9-0 in this match up and those include matchups on clay. GL!

[Dmoneytx]

BOL to us today Opti!!! I hit Radwanska today for both parlays, I hate betting WTA. Even though she beat her 0&1 last time, the first set sucked. But it came in & now Ferrer is up. If we get through here, I really like our chances for a good day. Vamos Ferrer!

[Dmoneytx]

I just got in & looked at the Ferrer score...........HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!! VAMOS FERRER!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, what a match huh???? That could save my day for almost 400
10-8 in breaker???? KICK ASS!

I was on Ferrer, too, and when flashscore made that sound that the match was over and the scored said Almagro won the tiebreak 9-7, I checked off the box to take it off my score list and muttered some curse words.

Then I come to find out (after reading a post on here from someone who had Almagro ML) that Ferrer actually won the tiebreak 10-8.

Damn you, flashscore. Imagine if I had bet Almagro and seen that score?

[Optional]

I've hardly had time to even follow scores the last couple of days. Sounds like I was lucky not having to ride Ferrer home!!

And glad I just followed you DM... I would have added Simon to that parlay, instead of Federer, almost for certain on my own.

[moshi]

GL tonight. I also think Verdasco has a big chance to win and Fed is something like 13-0 against Ferrer lol.

[Hurley1085]

not to be a stat whore but its 12-0 and the last time they met on clay was 2010 Madrid it went 3 sets 7-5,3-6,6-3

[Optional]

Was probably a bit dumb to put the +250 in the parlay. Should have just taken him for 2u straight.

Oh well, as long as he wins I guess it doesn't matter.

They both are in good form, but FV has the edge on the surface, and I think is a 'confidence' player who is full of that this week for some reason. Maybe someone important in the home crowd? I would price Verdasco a slight fave here myself, so +250 requires an over bet is my thinking.
