Bet all 4, if you get the 4fold up nice drink in it for you

[The Camel]

Aussie Open >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wimbledon

Weather incred.

Queue up for 20 minutes for show court tickets.. you don't get shut out by corporate types.

Atmosphere at night games might be the best ever.

TAB booth inside the grounds for all your punting needs. Could you imagine a Ladbrokes shop at Wimbledon?

On the basis there's something in it for me, all 4 will lose.

Thanks all the same.

Camel, tbf I hope Ladcrokes burn to the ground! Get your meaning though. Would say it's almost too hot though. No need for players to be playing in near 40 degree heat which it can get too.

Unless I'm wrong the policy of playing each day to a close (weather permitting) is an awesome idea too. Not sure the players love 3am finishes though!

Good start with a comfortable win for Daniilidou.
Nice one.

Ladbrokes by far the best of the big bookmakers imo. Beat Coral and Hills hands down in all areas, Betbaldie and Paddy Power don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.

Anderson smashed my handicap bet to pieces unfortunately! 

James Ward will never have a better chance to reach round two of a major. Absolutely plum first round draw vs Kavcic and he's bottling it big time. Two sets down now and hard to see a way back for him.

Watson got smashed too. Admittedly she was playing Azarenka but it doesn't bode well for the future, she has zero weapons, just likes to roll the ball back into court.

Can see all the Brits losing today too.

Guess it's just a case of how many run-ins you've had to endure with each bookie that makes you base your decision on that. Had laddies try and fuck me over for bets so many times it's ridiculous; whereas Coral and Billy Hills have always been really good to me.

Betfred's probably the worst thinking about it the old bald robbing *****.

Looks like I should, taking a battering atm.

Adding in-play: Kudla @ 4/1 - 6-7, 2-2 *0-15 on his serve (4 units)

[Solaris]

Adding in-play: Dolgopolov @ 9/4 - 1-6, 4-6 (8 units)

How the hell could you back Ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put 3 bets on my twitter to start the day, Kavcic to beat Ward @ 1.94, Cipolla to beat Davydenko @ 4.1 and Ormaechea to beat Halep @ 2.92.

Got off to a great start with 3/3, then lost a lot of it back continuing to back Verdasco in the final set @ 2.9 (still maintain it was a big price).

Moving forward today the other 3 I've backed are Voskoboeva aswell @ 7/4, Barty @ 3.4 (the young Australian/junior Wimbledon champion/junior world number 2 but shes only 15! but can cause Tatishvilli problems) and Foretz Gacon @ 3.35 (2-0 up H2H & Baltacha is gash). Not massively confident on any of the 3 was just a price thing.

Good bet on Dolgo mate, he will get it done for sure from here.

Looks a deece card tomorrow.

Call it a bit of misplaced patriotism! Not a fan of Kavcic, he's a clay-courter anyway and a disgustingly huge choker. Just felt if there was any chance of Ward making it to round 2 of a slam, this was it. Deservedly got my arse handed to me.

Sitting on the fence with the Gacon bet but may follow you in.

Nice calls on Cipolla and Ormaechea. Missed out on both, but just couldn't see how Davydenko could possibly lose to such a piss-poor opponent! Even for Nikolay this is a new low. Missed out on Ormaechea. Bad error from me.

Need Dolgopolov to win to get me out of the big hole I've created. Made some borderline awful bets. Still always another day...

[Horneris]

Rochus 3-0 looking good for you too, I should've been on that really, the midget is playing out of his skin atm.

Wished I'd have put more on it too, just thought there may be a chance of fatigue.

Had him in these bets last week:

Rochus @ 9/5 v Kamke (2 units)
Rochus @ 2/1 v Bellucci
Rochus @ 13/10 v Paire
Rochus @ 3/1 v Kohlscreiber

The little Belgian can do no harm in my book!
