Bet Of The Day: Thomaz Bellucci v Mikhail Youzhny

Ok trying something new here with a nap of the day so to speak. Just for fun so please don't blame me if it all goes Pete Tong!!!

Going to have level stakes of 100 points running alongside my blog to see how I get on :)

Today's bet was hard to find and I suppose the sensible thing to do when you're looking for a bet and struggling to find decent value on a potential winner then you should move on and leave it! However this isn't a sensible blog now is it :) ???

Thomaz Bellucci to win is my tip! Currently available on Betfair @ 3.30 so a 100 point stake will provide a potential return of 230 which would be a nice start :)

As they say on the shampoo ad..... Here's the science bit ;)
Bellucci has a bright future ahead of him imho and is still only 21. Yes he is predominantly a clay courter as a lot of South Americans are but he seems to be developing an all court game as he gets older.

These two players have not met before so there is no Head to head to look at.

Youzhny on the other hand is now 27 and entering the latter stages of his career becoming somewhat of a journeyman. Whilst nobody could ever accuse him of lacking passion that is often misguided as we all know. I feel Bellucci has the game to irritate him and take advantage of the subsequent brain fail.

For those less adventurous then perhaps a lay of Youzhny 2-0 is the bet for you. Odds of 2.10 seem favourable for a 90.91 point return for your 100 stake.
