I have encountered a site that is specialised on horse racing betting tips. The design is clouded, but the functionality does not have a lot to suffer because of this. But it's not the design that matters with this type of sites. Let's talk about what does matter, shall we ?

The tipsters seem like they know what they are doing, and if you are interested in horse racing, these guys can guide you (for the small amount of 10$) trough the betting options. The best of them have very good 90 days profits, but they do place 100$ bets. Anyway, you can still follow their bets by scaling up if you don't feel like betting that amount. It's a radder specialized blog, because they talk a lot about the MELBOURNE CUP, thus covering almost every aspect.

The site offers a lot of features : a daily report concerning the horse racing world, a forum and a refferal scheme, and is a go-to if you are interested in this type of betting.

Miami Quarter Finals

So we have reached the quarter finals. It should be an interesting day...

Federer - Roddick
Roddick has played very well this season, but had some moments when he lacked concentration, losing to mediocre players. He already won 2 tournaments this year and holds a 18-3 record so far.
On the other hand, Federer is... Federer. There is little to say about the Swiss except the fact that he is definitely not on top of his game at the moment. He dominates the head to head with 16-2. My guess is this one will go in 3 sets, but Federer will win it.

TIP :
Federer to win 2-1 : 4 units @ 4.33 - BET365

Davydenko - Tipsarevic
Davydenko is the player with the most consistency in the ATP circuit. Personally, i don't like him nor his tennis but i must admit he is an example of concentration and mental stability trough out his entire career. His record this year is 16-5 : not better not worse compared to his last 3 or maybe even 4 years.
Tipsarevic is a player i am considering to bet more on in the next few weeks if his odds don't drop too much after this tournament. He is a player that does not stand out but has decent skills. He is not exactly top 10 material yet, but his game is solid without impressing.
My guess is Davydenko's experience will make the Russian grab this one.

TIP :
Davydenko(-3) to win, 5 units @ 2 - BE365

Miami : Round 4

TIP :
Davydenko, N - Ancic, M : Ancic to win 3 units @ 1.73 -NOXWIN LOST

Miami : Round 3

Today the round 3 matches from the top of the main draw are to be played. I have to say that my guess is that whoever wins the upper side of the draw will be the winner of this tournament. Mainly because Federer is here, but also because players like Tsonga, Ancic and Roddick are not be overlooked.

Roger Federer - Robin Soderling
These guys have played 4 times before, Federer winning all of them, but 3 of them were very close, the last of them (in Halle 2006) being a double tie-breaker in favor of the Swiss. Soderling is playing really well this season, but Federer has lost a little too much, and has shown some commitment to his game in this tournament. Federer is most likely to get it, but my guess is that it will be close.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga v Julien Benneteau
This is a match i think Tsonga will dominate. He is playing well (not like he played in the Australian Open), but still, some good quality tennis throughout this season. On the other side, Benneteau is a mediocre player, losing this season to Querrery, Haas, Youzhny and Seppi while grabbing no major win this season. 13-5 for Tsonga this season while Benneteau is at 8-6. Tsonga is most likely to win this one.

Juan Monaco v Mario Ancic
I just have no clue why the odds on Ancic have been this high all season. I mean, he is a very good player, and he came back well from the injury he sustained last year. Ancic is 11-3 this season, and he defeated players like Tsonga, Baghdatis, Soderling and Murray this season, while losing only in front of top players : Murray, Ljubicic and Ferrero. Ok, maybe the loss against Ljubicic poses some questions, but Juan Monaco, a clay-player that lost to Calleri, Horna and Canas in the last 3 tournaments while grabbing only 2 victories, has few hopes against Ancic. How can anyone pass out on a 1.50 odd on this match ?

Ivo Minar v Andy Roddick
Nothing but the March-madness can make Roddick lose this match. I am hoping that this has passed. Roddick has a great season 16-3. The only time he actually slipped was in front of T. Haas 2 weeks ago. He won 2 tournaments so far this year, ranked fifth in the ATP race. Minar had a decent year so far, but i don't think this qualifier can upset Roddick on home ground. Small odds tough for Andy.

TIP :
Tsonga - Benneteau, Tsonga to win @ 1.26 -NOXWIN LOST
Monaco - Ancic, Ancic to win @ 1.47 -NOXWIN OK
Minar - Roddick, Roddick to win @ 1.08 -NOXWIN OK
TOTAL : 7 units @ 2.00 - NOXWIN - LOST

Miami : Third Round

Yesterday, all things went well except Djokovic's loss against K. Andreson. I did not watch this match, but Djokovic did not play like he used to and of that i am sure. I usually don't play small odds, not even in a combo, because things like this might happen. But this was one of the safest match in tennis betting history. Oh well, let's hope things will go better today.
There are 2 matches that i find quite interesting today. The first of them is the match between R. Soderling and S. Wawrinka. Wawrinka played well lately, but not as convincing as Soderling. Maybe i'm a little subjective here, but i think Soderling will win this one.
The second match is where Ancic and Murray meet. Murray is a great player, but the odds on Ancic are just too high considering the way the Croatian is playing lately. Murray is also a player that might play well, but he might play awfull.
So... these are the bets for today :

Simone Bolelli v Ph. Kohlschreiber : Kohlschreiber to win @ 1.26 - NOXWIN LOST
Robin Soderling v Stanislas Wawrinka : Soderling to win @ 1.56 - NOXWIN OK
Total : 7 units @ 2.03 - NOXWIN lost

Mario Ancic v Andrew Murray : Ancic to win 5 units @ 2.75 -NOXWIN OK +8.75

Ballance This Week: -1.33 units
Ballance This Month : +17.01 units
Overall Ballance : +17.01 units

Miami : Third Round

Well, yesterday not a lot of things happened, maybe today. It's good that the bet i proposed was a winner, but still the odds are very low for the ones i think will win, and i found no interesting match that was close enough to bet on the underdog.
Today i am still hoping to accumulate odds from the favorites. Blake is just to good to be defeated by Seppi, even tough the italian plays a very odd tennis. It can be close, but the American is playing well enough to catch it in straight sets.

4 COMBO TIP :
Andreas Seppi v James Blake : Blake to win @ 1.25 OK
Juan Carlos Ferrero v Albert Montanes : Ferrero to win @ 1.12 OK
Kevin Anderson v Novak Djokovic : Djokovic to win @ 1.05 LOST
Benjamin Becker v Rafael Nadal : Nadal to win @ 1.05 OK
TOTAL : 7 units @ 1.55 -BET365 LOST

Ballance This Week: -3.08 units
