Great Promotion from SportsBet
Every now and then one of the betting agencies we use has an excellent promotion that we feel obliged to pass on to our customers. Most of the time it comes from what i term as the Tote agencies such as IASBet, Centebet etc but without doubt the agency that is making leaps and bounds and leading the way.
Apart from their constant great promotions for depositing customers (You get $50 for signing up without offering any credit card info or making even having to make a deposit), they constantly offer great promotions giving you a chance to win a free bet even when your bet loses.
For example during the summer cricket tests if you had backed someone for top run scorer and they were given out by referral then you received your money back.
This time round they are offering a great promotion on the Australian Open Tennis. If you back someone and they lose in 5 sets then you get your money back. With a number of players going the distance at the Aussie Open i think that is great value. In fact if i had placed our bet on Richard Gasquet on SportsBet we would have gotten our free bet when he went down in 5 to Mikhail Youzhny.
I always suggest to all my subscribers to open as many accounts as possible as you never know when you are going to find great odds or promotions that give you the best chance to make money. All these things turn the odds more in your favour.

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)
January 19th – Australian Open
A great first round of bets for us in the Australian Open with BERNARD TOMIC, MARC, GICQUEL, EKATERINA MAKAROVA and SARA ERRANI all winning giving us a perfect 4 from 4 and a solid 25% increase to our Sports Managed Fund. All won in straight sets and Makarova looked solid knocking out the 18th Seed in Virginnie Razzano.
For our next wave of bets I like
PETRA KVITOVA to beat Jill Craybas at $1.61 (Sports Managed Fund 10% Bet) **This is Kvitova’s first tournament for the year which is my only concern. Kvitova finished the year impressively in 2009 and took down some big names. Although Craybas has had 2 tournaments warm-up before this she has been wiped out in the 1st round both times.
NICHOLAS ALAMAGRO to beat Xavier Malisse at $2.08 (Sports Managed Fund 5% Bet) **Alamagro has always done well for us in the majors and I fail to see how Malisse is the favourite since he spent the end of 2009 on the Challenger Tour.
POTITO STARACE to beat Stephane Robert at $1.68 (Sports Managed Fund 10% Bet) **While Starace has not been setting the world on fire he has been playing much harder opposition than Robert who again has been spending the majority of his time on the Challenger Tour.
RICHARD GASQUET to beat Mikhail Youzhny at $1.84 (Sports Managed Fund 10% Bet) **A tough opener for Gasquet but as I said in my opening email he is my smokie to go deep into the tournament so I feel obliged to back him here. This will be a big test to see whether he is fatigued from reaching the final last week in Sydney. Meanwhile Youzhny had a great finish to the year and on his day can match it with the top players in the world. He does have a habit of just not turning up sometimes though.
January 18th – Australian Open Tennis
As always we will be providing bets on the tennis majors during the year starting with the Australian Open.
In the overall men’s market nothing really stood out for me at this stage but as we get deeper into the tournament we may see more action. I’m normally a fan of jumping on one of the big roughies in the hope that they go deep into the tournament and preferably one or two of the big guns get knocked out too. This year I like the look of the way Richard Gasquet is playing and I will be getting on him a few times if the odds present themselves.
On the women’s side of the draw things are very tight with a number of big contenders looking good coming into form early in the season. Add to that the comebacks of Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters that seem to be getting straight back into things. The player who has looked great for a number of years but has blown more opportunities than most is Elena Dementieva who won last week in Sydney. Dementieva is currently $12 at the moment and I think that may be a bit short considering if most of the big guns survive the first week she will still be the same price coming into the quarter finals. We’ll leave it all alone for now.
Our Bets so far are:
BERNARD TOMIC to beat Guillermo Rufin at $1.65 (Sports Managed Fund 10% Bet) **Massive odds considering that Rufin is playing his first ever tournament on the ATP tour whilst Tomic has been here before and performed very well under pressure.
MARC GICQUEL to beat Simone Bolleli at $1.47 (Sports Managed Fund 10% Bet) **Gicquel has been in great form of late reaching the quarter finals of the Heineken Open last weekend and seems well worth the short quote.
EKATERINA MAKAROVA to beat Virginnie Razzano at $3.70 (Sports Managed Fund 3% Bet) **Razzano is playing pretty ordinary at the moment and I think is a big chance of being the first seeded player knocked out on the women’s side of the draw. With rankings of Makarova (60) and Razzano (18) there is not much between these two at all.
SARA ERRANI to beat Klara Zakapalova at $1.36 (Sports Managed Fund 15% Bet) **Definitely the best bet of the early rounds as Errani is in super form reaching the semi-finals in Hobart last week claiming some big names along the way. Zakapalova was also beaten 1-6, 1-6 in her last match which was also against Errani.
**On a side note Betfair is offering a promotion at the moment where if you do a $20 multi with 5 legs or more and you only fail by 1 leg then you get your stake back. Not bad i think!
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

July 22nd – Tennis (Running Total -$299)
A good night for us last night with 2 out of 3 wins and a profit last night of +$109
Wins to Florien Mayer and Viktor Troiki, unfortunately young Sharon Fichman never really got going and was bumbled out in straight sets
July 21st – Tennis (Running Total -$408)
The WTA tour heads to Salzburg for the Bad Gastein tournament.
Sharon Fichman ($1.88) has been taking on much harder opposition until now when she comes up against relative easy beat Yvonne Meusburger in the 1st round.
Meanwhile the men head to the International German Open in Hamburg
Here is see Florian Mayer ($1.61) a good bet against Rainer Schuettler due to the fact the match is on clay. Clearly upon inspection Mayer has a far superior clay court record and deserves to be a strong favourite in this match.
In Hamburg we also find Viktor Troicki ($1.85) a good price against the much higher ranked Teimuraz Gabashvili.
So the bets are:
$100 on Sharon Fichman to beat Yvonne Meusburger @ $1.88
$200 on Florian Mayer to beat Rainer Schuettler @ $1.62
$100 on Viktor Troicki to beat Teimuraz Gabashvili @ $1.85
July 1st – Tennis (Running Total -$408)
It has finally come time to lay off our Thomas Berdych bet. We backed him for $50 at $320 (profit $15950) so now he has come in to $90 we will lay some of that off. I suggest $150 at $90 (Liability $13350). That means now if we have $2600 still running on berdych but we collect $100 if he gets knocked out.
June 30th – Tennis (Loss Total -$558)
Another disapointing night with Tsonga bowing out to the big serving Karlovic and both Sugiyama and Cibulkova put up spirited performances but just weren’t good enough on the day. Can’t seem to win the close games this time round. (Loss -$300). On another note Berdych is progressing nicely unfortunately so to is Federer and whilst he is still in the tournament there is no opportunity to lay any bets off.
