Valencia v Alcoyano

Spanish Cup tonight and this fixture is up first. Valencia at home have to be good for some goals so I'm going for my favourite bet of over 1.5 goals. Fairly skinny price at 1.22 but I hope this will be done and dusted by half time! I certainly hope we won't need to call Mr Bowie from the bench but I'll keep him warm just in case.

Good luck if your joining me! Happy Punting :-)

1-0 after 4 mins is a nice start.

2-0 after 16 mins done and dusted!

Over 1.5 Goals Wins
Profit: £44.23

Gilles Simon v Tomas Berdych

Went in on a straight punt from the of on this. Very shaky first set from both players but Simon edged it. Berdych nicked the 2nd set but Simon in control in the 3rd decided to take the profit and run.

£4.95 on Both


Simon Wins 6-4 4-6 6-3

Andy Murray v Daniel Gimeno Traver

This is a match that will only have two possible outcomes!!!

Maybe that's not a new concept for a tennis matches but these are the two outcomes I feel there may be.

i) Murray is chomping at the bit to be playing tennis again and destroys DGT in two easy sets
ii) Murray feels that, despite numerous training sessions, his wrist isn't up to competitive action and retires.

However ii) isn't going to happen so I guess there's only one outcome then ;-)

Therefore as my selection has stood up to the rigours of my exact science, I have to lump on Murray despite the skinny price. 7% interest for an hours deposit is far better than you can get at the Post Office!

Hmmm now -36.62 AM +22.06 DGT We'd better get a retirement from Murray now! It's amazing how quickly you can go off a player if he's just faking it. To top it all my stream has died now too :(

Hmm 3*-1 to Murray the Mugger! I used to be such a fan but he is just an actor like the rest! What was the point in faking the old injury thing? I don't get it. And my bank certainly doesn't get it!!!!!!

4-1* :(
5*-1 Properly Properly Mugged. Murray you are not even close to being on my Christmas card list right now!!!!

Murray Wins 6-3 6-1
Loss (Again!!!): £36.62

Well I got spooked by the market as I'm sure many others did.. So glad I kept my deposits so minimal at the start of the month as I could have been on a right sticky wicket now if I had been using a decent sized bank.

I'll deposit another £10 as fun money tonight to try and work through these Jips I seem to have acquired! Hopefully we'll be in the right frame of mind tomorrow!!

Gael Monfils v Marcel Granollers

Well here we go again with a back from the off. Just hope Monfils is interested this week. He should be as it's a 500 tournament and he stands a good chance of picking up some good points here. Will be checking to see he is interested and may have to bail if it looks like he isn't.

Oh dear Monfils broken first for 2-3* Really not got his service games going yet. Though his last return game showed signs that he may break back soon.

3*-3 There's the immediate break back. Can't believe Monfils went as high as 1.75!!
Now he needs to hold mind you ;-)

3-4* Call it what you will!! Mugfest or breakfest!!!
4*-4 Now I need a hold then break for the set. Got to go and pick my daughter up from Nursery.

Back now and I see Monfils won the 1st set 6-4 now 1*-1 in the second.
2-1* And I'm out at 1.12. Monfils could easily lose a set the way it's been going!

Gilles Simon v Igor Kunitsyn

Gilles Simon is usually very competent indoors and imho it is his best surface and one in which I would still put him in the top 5 in the world (when fit). He still has a chance of making London and a good week here followed by a good week in Paris may see him nick that 8th spot. Unlikely I know but he will want to get there or he will drop further down the rankings as he'll lose the points he got for the semi final appearance last year.

Therefore I'm lumping on from the off here and hope he doesn't let me down.

Simon draws first blood to go 3*-1 up.
Simon wobbles slightly when serving for the set offering up 3 break chances. However he serves it out to take the 1st set 6-3.

Again Simon breaks first in the 2nd set to go 2*-1 up!

Alejandro Falla v Nikolay Davydenko

Going in from the off here. Davydenko should have far too much for Falla. The only danger is if he wants it this week. But looking at the draw he stands a good chance of picking up 500 points this week so that should be enough motivation for him.
