Before I get into today’s selection, I must recap yesterdays bets. Gasquet did all that was expected of him and recorded a nice profit for us at 2.20. I hope all of you took my adive on “greening up” with the Nieminen sports bet. He took the first set, and then dashed into an early lead in the second. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that he was trading at 1.02 that early in the second set! Moreover over £43,000 was traded at this level! Amazing what greed will do!
Naturally I helped myself and ensured a profit regardless of the outcome! Which turned out to be a good thing, as Lee went on to win the second set in a tie break and then dominated the third set.
So onto our screamer of a tennis sports bet. The match is Haas vs Roddick. No contest? You bet, but not the way most people think! Looking at the head to head records Haas leads 6-3, including the last two encounters!
Yet Haas is available at 5.40! At this price, you should be able to at least trade out at a profit at some stage. But we are so far ahead this week that I am going to stick my neck out and go for the win. If you must trade out only do so at 1.30 or lower.
Let’s get on! Good luck with your sports betting!

The sports betting so far this week…
We started off badly, with our first bet Arnaud Clement going out with a whimper against Rochus. But we then roared back strongly with three winning sports bets - Melzer @ 2.16 to beat Safin, Massu @ 3.05 and De Voest @2.20.
So can we keep up our sports betting success?
The match I am looking at today is Gasquet vs Soderling. Gasquet is ranked 8 and Soderling 39, and thier head to head record is 2-2. However it becomes 4-2 to Soderling, if you consider their matches in the Challenger circuit. Soderling has also won the last 2 tennis matches.
Now Soderling is available at 1.91 as I write this, quite extraodinary when you consider thier rankings. A closer look at the head to head also reveals htat almost all the matches where close affairs, with one player just edging it. So at 2.20 I think we have to side with Gasquet on this occasion. This looks an excellent sports betting opportunity.
The other match I am looking at is Lee vs Nieminen. Nieminen has a 2-0 head to head record, and I think he offers a good sports betting opportunity as he tries to make it 3-0. Presently available at 1.94, I think this is a cracking sports bet. As usual “green up” if the opportunity presents itself.
Good luck with your sports betting!

The Indian Wells Tennis Masters continues and I have singles out a couple of games that look very interesting.
The first one is Tipsarevic vs Massu. Now Tipsarevic is ranked 41 and Massu only 102, and with Tipsarevic game against Federer in the Australian Open still fresh in our minds, it is no surprise to see him priced up at 1.48. A good price?
Not when you consider that the head to head record between the two stands at 1-0 in Massu’s favour. At 3.05 I think he represents a cracking sports betting opportunity.
The other match of I have picked is Rik De Voest vs Michael Berrer. De Voest is ranked 135 and Berrer 63. However Berrer seems out of sorts at the moment and his head to head record with De Voest is 0-1. The Victory for De Voest didn’t come in the ATP curcuit, however with De Voest available at 2.20, I think we have a good tennis sports betting opportunity.
Good Luck with your sports betting!

We set out on this sports betting week, with a goal to equal last weeks 100% sports betting record.
This week the tennis tournament is the Pacific Life Open at Indian Wells. A lot of the seeds get byes in the first round, but I think we may still have one or two juicy encounters.
The first match of interest is Clement vs Rochus. The rankings are fairly even, so it is a surprise to see Clement priced up at 2.50, more so when you consider his tennis head to head record with Rochus is 3-0. However the last victory was way back in 2004, so a note of cuation has to be adopted. However at this proce I think Clement is a good sports bet. The more cautious among you might like to trade out at the appropriate time.
The second tennis match of interest from a sports betting point of view is Melzer vs Safin. Both are rated around the same mark, but of course there is only one Marat Safin, and it is no surprise to see him priced up as favourite.
Looking at the head to head record however, Melzer leads 2-1. Melzer’s solitary defeat coming in 2004, when Marat was probably playing at his best. So at 2.16 I think Melzer represents a good tennis sports bet. Again you might like to trade out if the opportunity arises.
Good Luck with all your sports betting!

So we find ourselves at the end of the week, with an amazing week of sports betting behind us!
Looking back, I can hardly believe the success we have had with our sports bets! First we took Andy Murray to beat Roger Federer, something that not a lot of people did, but to us it was a good sports betting opportunity, with Murray available at 4.40. So whereas a lot of people were surprised when Murray won, to us it was not wholly unexpected. Infact we also had a bet on Murray to win with a +5.5 advantage.
And so it was that after the first day of the week we found ourselves 4.93 points up.
The second day arrived and we suggested Oliver Rochus as the sports bet of the day, given that he was priced at odds of 2.68, not too many experts were picking him. We however, were confident, and he duly obliged, boosting our sports betting profits for the week to over 6.61 points!
Not bad I think you will agree for free sports betting picks!
However, we weren’t done yet and the next day we suggested Lopez to beat Berdych as a good sports bet. Lopez was available at 3.30 and at this price we felt he was a really good sports bet. Lopez easily disposed of Berdych as we predicted, and what was even better, our second bet of the day, a tennis trade on Verdasco in the Murray vs Verdasco tennis match came off! Verdasco was available at 3.85 before the tennis match. It was a close fought match over three sets, with Murray just edging the deciding set. I greened up at 1.70, but I believe some of you held out for much lower odds!
Anyway the third day of the week was over and our sports betting profits had swelled to 9.97 points!
On the fourth day I found the tennis match between Ferrer and Lopez most interesting, and suggested Lopez was a good sports bet at 2.8. Given my current vein of form, it was no surprise to see him win in straight sets, landing our fifth sports bet for the week!
Our sportsbetting profits now swelled to 11.77, we turned our attention to the quaterfinals, I didn’t expect to find a good sports betting opportunity, given that there were only four matches, but to my surprise, the Davydenko vs Lopez match proved to be a good sports betting opportunity. I noted that Lopez appeared to have Davydenko’s number, as he had never lost to him! I decided we should help ourselves to the 2.86 on offer for Lopez.
It was a close game, and I wouldn’t blame you if you traded out when Lopez reached 1.30 at one stage. I, however, decided to stay the course, and Lopez came from behind to win the last set 7-5. What a match! what a result!
So our sports betting profits for the week are now 13.63!
I will try to duplicate this weeks sports betting success next week, so watch this space closely!
Good luck with your sports betting!

This week has flown by, and with our sports bet of the day landed again yesterday, it has been an extremely good week for sports betting.
I must admit that at one stage yesterday I wished that I had greened up my sports bet when Lopez touched 1.30, but in the end he came through, winning the last 3 games to win the final, deciding set 7-5.
That made it five winning sports betting days out of five this week, and our sport betting profits so high they must be touching the ozone layer!
So what about today? Should we attempt to make it 6 winning sports betting days in a row? Well I have had a look at the matches on offer, and can see no good sports bets.
The Dubai tennis final is between Andy Roddick and Lopez and although Lopez has done us some great favours this week, they were all against opponents were his head to head record was good to excellent.
His head to head record with Roddick however makes abysmal reading, he has played Roddick on three occassions and has lost all three! Moreover the margin of victory on each occasion was not very flattering!
So I am going to stay away from this one, I wish Lopez luck, and if he wins, I will be rapt, as he has won me shed loads of money this week, but this is one sports bet I just cannot reccommend.
So that’s it for sports betting this week, but I will be trying to emulate this weeks sports betting success next week, so stick with me.
Good luck in your sportsbetting!

With Lopez defeating Ferrer yesterday, that brings it to four winning days out of four sports betting days! Let’s hope it continues.
Now yesterday I said that as the further we get into a tennis tournament, the harder it gets to find a good sports bet. Well despite this I believe we have a good sporting bet today.
The tennis match under scrutiny is Davydenko vs Lopez. Now Davydenko has an ATP tennis ranking of 5, whereas Lopez as we know is rated only 41. No contest?
Well, it might just be no contest, but not becuse of the rankings, but because of the head to head records between the two. They played three tennis matches previously, and Lopez has won all three!
Infact when the met in 2002 in Challengers and Futures Main Draw Lopez won as well! So that is four lifetime wins over Davydenko, and nothing in the debit column.
This would be a cracker of a bet except for one thing: the last meeting between the two was way back in 2004. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then.
But from a sports betting, tennis trading point of view, this is a risk worth taking, because Lopez is available at 2.86, whereas Davydenko is at 1.55. So I am going to suggest a sports bet on Lopez @ 2.86.
For those with a nervous disposition, I suggest a trade out at a suitable point, probably around 1.40, “greening up” incase it all turns against us. I however intend to stay the course on this occassion.
Good Luck with your sports betting

Well! It certainly has been some week! I make it 9.5 points profit so far, and a couple of days to go. I was actually going to pass on selecting a sports bet today. Tennis betting becomes more restricted for choice as a tournament progresses, and at the quater final stages of a tennis tournament, I wasn’t sure if any sports bet worth it’s salt could be found.
As it turns out I could be wrong, and flushed with success, I have decided to chance my arm again today. The tennis match in question is Ferrer vs Lopez, Ferrer is rated 4 in the ATP tennis world and Lopez only 41, so one would expect Ferrer to win easily. More so, as he is playing well at the moment.
However the head to head is 3-2 in Lopez’s favour and if you consider only hard courts, this becomes 3-1. Wise heads around appear to have taken this into consideration, as Lopez can only be had at 2.8. That price still looks a mite on the long side. He did us a good turn yesteday when landing our tennis bet of the day, and I am going to stick with him and recommend a sporting bet at 2.8.
Good Luck with your Sports betting

Flushed with the success of my sports betting picks from the past two days, I am going to try to make it three in a row.
The tennis match to come uder the microscope today is Lopez v Berdych. Berdych is rated 10 in the world and Lopez 41, so on paper it looks like no contest, right?
Well lets look more closely, the two have met on four occasions and the score is 2-2. Granted the last time they met Berdych won, but it was a hard fought victory: 7-6, 3-6,6-3.
Berdych is currently available at 1.43 and Lopez at 3.30, at these odds I’ll suggest a bet on Lopez, perhaps trading out if the opportunity comes to “green up”
Another match that catches the eye is Murray vs Verdasco, the two have net on two occasions and the score stands at 1-1. Despite beating Federer, I think Murray is in for a tough game, and desn’t appeal at his odds.
Verdasco on the other hand can be backed at 3.85 and this match screams out “Tennis Trading opportunity”, so i am going to suggest backing Verdasco at 3.85 and then trading out @ around 1.75, which should give us a nice profit.
Good Luck in your Sports Betting

Jarkko Nieminen faces Oliver Rochus in the first round of the Dubai Tennis Championships today. Looking at the rankings of the players, a win for Nieminen looks likely, but do the rankings tell the whole story? and is Nieminen a cracking Tennis sports bet?
Digging a little deeper we find that in thier head to heads, Rochus has won five and Niemenin three. Looking at the odds, we see that Niemenin can be backed at 1.61 and Rochus at 2.68.
Given that even their last four meetings have been shared 2-2, Rochus looks a crocking bet to me. In fact Rochus has won both of their last two matches 6-4, 6-2 and 7-6, 6-1
So I am going to suggest a sporting bet on Rochus, perhaps greening up at the approriate moment.
With Andy Murray defeating Roger Federer yesterday and landing our bet, it would be nice to keep the momentum today.
Good luck in your sports bets!
