Been betting on outrights for a while now, with some decent success but some muggish bets along the way.
I'll keep all my outright picks to this thread throughout the year, making 2 or 3 pre-tournament picks (depending how many tournaments there are the specific week). If the opportunity arises, i'll green out later in the week but my greening out record is pretty shabby on the whole.
The target is to pick a top player, a lively outsider and whatever else takes my fancy. Hopefully I keep my discipline throughout the year.
I appreciate that outright betting can be a mug's game but I made profit last year so there's money to be made if one keeps a cool head.
I'll be backing Nadal. Federer has hit some brilliant shots today but he's made errors as well, something Nadal doesn't do. Reckon Nadal will outlast him

didn't see your post then. Yeah he'll be all over the serve. He should've destroyed him in Aus last year. Still not sure how he lost that final. Nadal had nine lives that day

of course he wont lie down v fed...7-4 h2h off clay....fed doesnt have the pressure of it being a slam...the way he has played this week he deserves to win...he has dismantled every player in quick time.

agreed, unopposable in this form, also the format suits him perfectly, at this stage of his career he can hardly hold nadal over a long match, but short sharp bursts are what he's all about

well everyone you have just see the daftest price ever to appear on this site - 2.44 on nadal to beat fed. so stunned by that price i had to lie down, and then get up and put more money on. still 2.28 , utterly moronic price. fed looks amazing but hasnt faced anyone playing anywhere near the standard he will face tomorrow. djoker was pathetic, no self belief, i feel rafa might be a little different.
on another note, what a fascinating match in terms of oz prices too

nadal looks knackered, showed in that first game he is going to pick it up more and try to dictate, will have to be the god we all know he is to get back in this

it's to do with lactic acid and i get the impression nadal isn't as finely tuned for this week physically as he would be for oz. he's had 5 weeks off, just an impression.
in a way it would be nice if fed could win as then we would get better odds on nad for oz, though it wuld hurt me financially today

you have asked for this. you literally ruin every interesting discussion with your juvenile attempts at oneupmanship, and you add absolutely nothing of interest to the forum. i now understand why everyone says you are unbearable - i have tried to defend you but no longer
i said he was heavy legged in the first set, before cash said it, but he is saying it repeatedly, that he looks wrong. i am not trying to cover myself, just making an observation, i will lose a grand whether i say it or not. anyne who understands tennis can see it is the case, that he is physically not quite right, but you wont get it, because to be frank you have no idea at all. the fact he is in it is down to fed dropping his level and his total mental strength and indefatigability. if he can win or push fed close when operating at 80 per cent physically it actually reinforces my belief that he has the indian sign over fed.
anyway, why i waste a minute of my day talking to a complete illiterate imbecile....more fool me
go and irritate someone else you little p rick

dlarsson, all i would say is that all you did was repeat some childish insult over and over, it wasnt even about tennis with you and the little twallop. it was effing ridiculous. i am trying to make points about tennis and that's all i ever wanted to do. if that is hypocritical then fine
yeah whitecafu, i am embarrassed to have let him get to me, it's what he wants. anyway, no more, i'm outta here...

you really think that?...what about these trainers who try keeping the weight down for upcoming races etc...its as if they put them in the race just for a prep knowing they arent gonna win. suppose ur right...the way llodra threw that tie break v montanes proves it [;)]

Wen't to the 02 yesterday for the semis, very very good, pretty gutted by Murray loss from a supporters point of view.
Shifted most outright profit to Rafa at 2.45ish but managed to miss match with ridiculous train delays... fancied a punt Very good year for me anyway. Was only a matter of time before the extreme annoyance of Harry wore nick down....lol
