January 20th – Australian Open (Day 3)
Mixed results with our 2nd wave of bets finishing 2 from 4. A good win to Kvitova whilst Alamagro looked to have things easy till he was pushed to 5 sets against Malisse. Starace just never showed up whilst Gasquet had the match in his grasp up 2 sets to love and Youzhny suffering from cramps. HE even was up a break in the final set and held a couple of match points before eventually losing. Up till then things had opened up nicely on that side of the draw with Djokovic the only big seed to survive. Djokovic could be a decent bet overall now as he has no real contenders till the semi finals now.
Our Bets today are:
VANIA KING to beat Robert Vinci at $2.28 (Sports Managed Fund 5% Bet) **King played well against Cibulkova in the first round and I think deserved to be favourite for this match too. Worth a bet at $2.28.
IVO KARLOVIC to beat Julian Benneteau at $1.67 (Sports Managed Fund 10% Bet) **Karlovic has had the wood on Benneteau and overcame the dangerous Stepanek in the first round whilst Benneteau struggled against the lowly David Guez.
ELENA DEMENTIAVA to beat Justine Henin at $2.06 (Sports Managed Fund 10% Bet) **I couldn’t believe it when I saw the price come up for this match. Yes when Henin was on top of her game she was all but unstoppable but times have changed and the women’s game has changed as well. Henin is not that long into her comeback and although she has produced some good results she is coming up against a player who has been on the top of her game for well over a year now. I think this will be a cracking match but at the odds it is time to load up (I almost made this a 15% bet)
