September 1st – US Open
The US Open is under way and our tennis expert is back on board with his quality tips. He has assured me this tournament has some really good value bets in the early rounds
The Overall Market
The mens competition is as wide as its ever been with a number of the big names given a huge chance. I think you are betting blind here and you might as well wait till the last 16 before making your choices here. I am thinking there is good value about both Andy Roddick ($18) and Novak Djokovic ($17.50) who have both performed well in recent months returning to their best form
The womens competition is much the same, however, i would be leaning strongly towards the Williams sisters who have the tournament in their hands if they are on song. Venus represents excellent value between the 2 at $9.60 whereas Serena is a miserly $3.00. I will have a small wager on Alisa Kleybanova at $510 for interest sake. She can really clobber a ball.
Our Bets are:
Lucie Safarova appears to have the edge on Patty Schnyder with a strong of recent good performances. The $1.82 looks too tempting to refuse so we’ll have $200 on that.
We have a similar situation in the other womens match we are reviewing with Tamarine Tanasugarn a clear statistical leader over her rival Anastasija Sevastova. Tanasugarn won the 2nd last tournament she competed in beating some big names including Dinara Safina along the way while Sevastova hasn’t won a match on the tour since April. We’ll have $200 on Tanasugarn at the incredible odds of $2.06
In the mens we have a couple of bets to look at. Firstly Rajeev Ram has been showing some recent good form without getting the results he deserves coming up against some realy big names early in tournaments. However this time he meets lowly Josselin Ouanna who has rarely been playing far inferior opponents and should struggle on the big stage. We’ll have $100 on Ram at $1.64
Next up Chris Guccione looks to be able to cruise into the 2nd round with a far superior record over his rival Pablo Cuevas who does his best work on clay. Guccione loves the fast surface at the US Open and can boast a recent win over Jo Wilfred Tsonga only 2 weeks ago. We’ll have $200 on Guccione at $1.68
