Tips for Tikay

out of interest, why is there not more tennis action being thrown out?

no value in any Wimbledon singles matches? outright markets?

I can't comment on the blokes but haven't seen any odds that looked great for the women's matches so far.
There have been a few that I backed with my own money but I wouldn't risk Fred's.

Ana Ivanovic won her first round match this morning in three sets and is now 100/1 from 150/1.
Sabine Lisicki won her second round match this morning in three sets and is now 66/1 from 200/1.

Neither of them looked world beaters but if you got on them you've got value.

in the mens it looks all so predictable. gone are the days of lots of seeds falling in rounds 1 and 2?

why would this be? Slower grass courts these days play more like hard courts so the matches run more to "form" than the fast grass used to?

Ooooh, that's a good debating point.
I'm going to have to think about that.

Increasing the number of seeds from 16 to 32 has meant less big clashes early in the draw.
I think that is the main reason quoted but I'm sure there must be other factors.

Mr Horner of Leeds must be getting it on his own this year?

Sam Stosur has just made her traditional early exit from Wimbledon.
She was beaten by Arantxa Rus who was 7/1 on Betfair despite her good run in the French Open.

I used to enjoy putting up a thread about the outright betting but nowadays with the absolute dominance of Nadal and Djokovic in every grand slam there seems little point. I toyed with the idea of putting forward Del Potro and Tsonga but its just doubtful it will be worth the effort on anyones part. I couldn't even find anything in the "to win a quarter betting". Tipsarevic @ 18s was the only close one but he has a tough enough draw.

I'm just doing pre-match betting this year, lots of handicap and set betting.

Trading it seems difficult nowadays, the market is too good. Almagro yesterday was 1.6 a set and a break down to Rochus. A couple of years ago you might have seen some odds against. He went on to win.

Today Petzschner was 2-0 up over Mayer. He has a tendency to lose from here and again, a while back you may have been lucky enough to lay some 1.15-1.18. 1.29 today. The in-play value on Betfair seems to have some extent ceased to exist.

Wozniacki v Paszek.

Wozniacki 11/10 StanJames
Paszek 11/10 BetFred

It's on Centre Court so those prices will only exist until they get the roof on and restart play.
Fill your wellies.

VC are evens over 65.5% possession for spain
Stan James are 10/11 over 67% possession for spain

WillHill are 7/2 over 65% possession for spain

Suggests that's a bet based on the price of the other 2.

Superp spot, Hills now go 5/4.

[henrik777]

7-2 is massive and obv a mistake on a weak market

Spain v Italy 60%
Spain v Ireland 66%
Spain v Croatia 64%
Spain v France 55%

It is a low total however two points in mitigation

Grace Road is a wide ground, a bit like a squat rectangle. Straight boundaries hittable, not so easy to get boundaries square after the powerplay with sweepers out

Leicestershire can bat first and throw in a stinker, its happened this season

Would be more confident of the >32 boundaries if Yorkshire won the toss and batted.

Anyway whether its sixes or boundaries is up to Fred. Sixes for me, but my stronger opinion is on Chelmsford tomorrow night

On.

Yorkshire batting first.
Maximum I could get was £30.

TightEnd   WilliamHill   Cricket   Leics v Yorks   > 6.5 sixes   5/6   £30

27 Jun 2012 - Leicestershire v Yorkshire - Total Match Sixes
Over (6.5) @ 5/6
Stake : £30.00
Estimated Returns : £55.00
