Olympic games and Washington

Hello there.

I'm back from a small break. Since I wasn't heavily hangovered yesterday I did some trading as well. Got a nice profit, but then lost most of it at Los Angeles finals with Querrey vs Berankis. It was one of those finals you don't like (for the viewer), because Querrey cruised through and won 6-0, 6-2 in barely 40 minutes (just 18 minutes for 1st set). Berankis was never close to winning it. Ok, today is a new day (new week) and I hope for nice start of the week. Here are some picks I think they have value and I'll be trading mostly all of the picks there are written. Good luck to you and to me:

12.30 - Ito - Raonic (OG, London), Ito+4.5games@1.83, Raonic 6-3, 6-4. LOST.

Away from tennis

Hello there. Sadly I need to inform you I'll be away from tennis for two days (saturday and sunday). Even thou some odds really look juicy on todays 1st round matches in Olympic games I'll be away from tennis next two days, because of lack of time. See you on monday and a lots of trading/betting luck in next two days.

Olympic games

Hello.

Tonight we will see opening ceremony in London for Olympics Games 2012 - it should be an event nice too watch. Tennis matches will start on saturday (men&women). I just read that Karlovic withrawed because of foot injury and will be replaced by Petzschner. By the way, looks like all the players that are still "active" in this weeks tournaments will play their first match on 29th of July, so they will have 1 day of rest if they will play in final (those players are: Kohlschreiber, Haase and Klizan). Ok, let us focus on semis of Atlanta, Kitzbuhel and Baku for today and tommorow we will analyse some of the Olympic games 1st round matches. BTW: I found it funny how much speculations were this week about some players will tank their matches. Especially Kohlschreiber, but, he didn't, and I don't know why he would? The players train every day anyway, so 2 hours of tennis can't hurt their fitness. Here are the picks for today:

9.00 - Panova - Jovanovski (WTA, Baku), Panova to win@2.70, Jovanovski 6-2, 6-2. LOST.
11.00 - Cohen - Puchkova (WTA, Baku), Cohen to win@1.91, Cohen 3-6, 6-0, 6-3. WIN.
23.00 - Ram - L. Mayer (ATP, Los Angeles), L. Mayer to win@2.20, Ram 7-6, 6-3. LOST.




This is it for today.



Lazy me

Hello followers. I have become rather lazy this week as I didn't do a lot of picks, but mostly the fault is to the busy trading schedule (mornings, afternoons and nights). I'll do some picks today, but all the games are very dodgy, because the Olympics games have a strange effect on players and mostly on markets, so be cautious:

11.00 - Silva D.R. - Gulbis (ATP, Kitzbuhel), Silva to win@2.50, Silva 6-4, 6-4. WIN.
11.30 - Minella - Puchkova (WTA, Baku), Puchkova to win@2.60, Puchkova 2-6, 6-2, 6-1. WIN.
13.00 - Panova - Bratchikova (WTA, Baku), Panova to win@1.87, Panova 2-6, 7-6, 6-4. WIN.
21.00 - Andreev - Berankis (ATP, Los Angeles), Andreev to win@2.30, Berankis 6-4, 7-5. LOST.
23.00 - Kamke - Matosevic (ATP, Los Angeles), Kamke to win@2.39, Matosevic 6-3, 1-6, 6-0. LOST.
4.30 - Russel - Paire (ATP, Los Angeles), Russel to win@1.83, Russel 7-5, 6-4. WIN.

Final for today.

It's starting all over again

Hello there.

I had quite a busy weekend, so there were no picks. New week brings us 3 new tournaments (WTA - Baku, hard, ATP - Kitzbuhel, clay and Los Angeles, hard) with pretty shitty players, as most of the top players are having a preparation for Olympics in London next week. Here are some of the picks for tommorow (I'll be adding Los Angeles matches later on):

10.30 - Krunic - Hlavackova (WTA, Baku), Krunic+1.5sets@1.70, Krunic 6-1, 6-7, 6-4. WIN.
12.30 - Veic - Kavcic (ATP, Kitzbuhel), Veic to win@2.10, Veic 6-1, 6-2. WIN.
13.00 - Solovieva - Savchuk (WTA, Baku), Solovieva to win@1.83, Solovieva 1-6, 6-3, 7-6. WIN.
14.30 - Fischer - Balazs (ATP, Kitzbuhel), Balazs to win@2.60, Balazs 6-3, 1-6, 7-6. WIN.
19.00 - Garcia-Lopez - Zopp (ATP, Kitzbuhel), Garcia-Lopez to win@1.55 (Double stake), Zopp 6-1, 6-3. LOST.
23.00 - Kunitsyn - Capdeville (ATP, Los Angeles), Capdeville to win@2.30, Capdeville, 6-4, 7-6. WIN.

19. 7. 12

And it's...friday

Hey there.

I had overnight trading seanse last night, so I was in the morning (i tried to catch the value on Garrigues) just a bit to tired to write down the picks. Did some over day trading then (with average success) until I hit a gold-mine at the start of my second night trading day with full-stake lay at 1.17 on Fish when he returned to play after a lenghty mid-game injury because he tripped and felt to the floor. It was an instant winner as Fish retired almost immeditately after my lay (it was 2nd set). So after that win I decided to skip trading over the night and do some research for tommorow early matches, because I'm only trading first few hours tommorow (hopefully with succes). I'll definitely trade the picks that are here:

10.00 - Arvidsson - Rus (WTA, Bastad), Rus to win@2.55, Arvidsson 6-4, 7-5. LOST.
11.00 - Dimitrov - Kubot (ATP, Gstaad), Kubot+1.5sets@1.95, Dimitrov 7-5, 6-2. LOST.
12.00 - Pironkova - Hercog (WTA, Bastad), Hercog to win@1.91, Hercog 3-6, 7-5, 6-4. WIN.
14.30 - F. Mayer - Haas (ATP, Hamburg), Haas to win@1.98, Haas 6-4, 6-1. WIN.
15.00 - Mathieu - Gulbis (ATP, Gstaad), Gulbis to win@2.30





This is all from me.

Tuesday

Hello. Perfect day on picks yesterday, but I can't be very pleased with my trading, since it was a red day, but it was inside acceptable lose line, so I'm not very frustrated about it. I expect a better day on trading today. Here are some of the picks that I think have value and are likely to be winable today:

11.00 - Chardy - Montanes (ATP, Hamburg), Montanes to win@2.35, Chardy 6-4, 6-1. LOST.
11.00 - Hajek - Roger-Vasselin (ATP, Gstaad), Hajek to win@1.67, Hajek 4-1. WIN.
13.00 - Monaco - Stebe (ATP, Hamburg), Stebe+4.5games@2.00, Monaco 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. WIN.
13.00 - Troicki - Rosol (ATP, Hamburg), Rosol to win@2.27, Rosol 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. WIN.
13.00 - Andujar -Ramos (ATP, Hamburg), Ramos to win@1.98, Ramos 6-1, 6-3. WIN.

I'm happy with wins today, so I won't be pushing luck anymore with American tournaments today.
