British Forum BETTING thread

I'd take Federer at 4/6 personally.

Nadal was all but gone in the second set after Berdych broke him, but let it slip, so many unforced errors. After that it was one-way traffic.

 

It was an example mate. And I work in spreads. So pipe down. Thanks

Not sure 4/6 Fed is great value myself, make it a shade over 8/11 personally. The 02 match you have to discount. It's Fed's best surface nowadays ( fast indoor ) whilst it's Rafa's worst surface. End of year matches are always in favour of Fed as he's the only one of the top players who understands his body and manages to peak at the end of the season. Djok, Rafa & Muz have either played too many tournaments or have niggling injuries come the 02.

Saying that, Fed was fantastic today against DP and Rafa was very poor against Berdych for the first 2 and a half sets until he stepped it up. No value in the match odds for me

 

If Berdych wasn't such a spastic without a brain and had some sort of game plan rather than just trying to hit the ball as hard as he can he would of beat Nadal in straight sets.

Marky I can see what your saying with the slam thing with Nadal, but I think this moment in time or for the past few months Nadal has been struggling and Federer is playing some of his best tennis for years. I think Federer should win this quite comfortably.

 

And I'm not one to come on to a forum and bull**** about what I do for a living!

 

Mali-Guinea x, Washington-Boston (NHL) 2. 10 euro bet, returns 61.50 euro.

 

I'm going for the over 2.5 goals in tonights semi final....should be quite open, surprised to see the price actually of 11/10.

Dunfermline seem a bit over priced at out of form Motherwell...5/1
8/15 just to score.:think

 

Escobar, very interesting job you have there.

I dont want to ruin your future blogs but what you reckon on Cunningham v Hernandez? Price has closed to both at evens now.

Also you see any value in Huck at 3's. Dont see him winning in a fair fight but also dont see it being fair.

 

apologies, was just trying to lure which company from ye, thought it was anyways tbh.

 

Went with a Guinea, Sheff Wed double at just under 5's, good luck lads.

 

Yeah I agree.

He was way too heavy handed, from what I saw as well he rushed into the net a bit quick.

My tennis knowledge isn't that great, I'm not sure what his style is but he did seem a bit eager.

I might run with that one, McCall looked depressed when I saw him on Sky News recently.

I think Huck is really good value at 3's myself. Povetkin hasn't looked good in ages, and doesn't have the power to knock Huck out.... though then again he was taught a bit of a lesson by Lebedev and got a gift decision.

Like you say, probably not a fair fight anyway, the outsider is the home fighter too.

If I was pricing it up as a straight bet I'd have Huck at about 2/1. Povetkin isn't that much bigger than him, the only real reservation about Huck is his stamina, but Povetkin isn't going to make him throw 70-80 punches a round and wear himself out.

 

I thought Povetkin looked sharp and good against a game Boswell. I just don't see any way that Huck could win it.

 

Maidana 13/8 to beat Alexander?:think

 

I need to watch Cunnigham v Hernandez again to be fair before deciding. Cunningham was a big fav first time (from memory about 1/5). On the face of it I like Cunngingham at evens but I need to watch the first fight again it again before I'd back anything

I do like Huck at 3/1 ( I'm more like Pov 1/2 ) but if it's close its going to Povetkin as far as I'm concerned which most certainly lessens the value. I've backed Huck small myself but I do have concerns over Povetkin getting a close nod

 

In Saint Louis id want bigger odds than that. He will need the stoppage.

May go down to glove choice and what he is allowed to wear.

 

Yeah, I'm going to be all over that.

I'm not that big on Maidana personally but I don't think Devon will fancy it, plus being a southpaw he'll be a sucker for the wild right hook that Maidana likes to throw.

Klitschko by decision over Chisora is still around the 4/1 mark :yikes
