Nice pair of wins of on Daniel/Linzer (1 straight win for Daniel and 1 straight win + 1st set for Daniel), thanks to @Bert's tip. Also, took Gabashvilli when he was a set down against Almagro at 5.00, but cashed out at 2.50 after he took the second set. Took Kyle Edmund over Rosol and got the win and also had a small win on Zverev. Good day.

 

[Bert]

Good win for Edmund. I hesitated on this one and finally didn't bet. Great pick on Gabashvilli. Didn't expect him to win.
Maybe something to try with Haase/Arnaboldi today. Haase looked completely out of form last week and Arnaboldi has already two qualifying matches under his belt here.
Mathieu, Gimeno-Traver, Baghdatis, Suarez-Navarro seem good values even if odds are very small. Will give it another thought

 

[Bert]

Finally went for 2 combos : Baghdatis + Suarez and Mathieu + Gimeno-Traver and 1 alternate bet : Ramos-Vinolas vs. Munar to be closed in less than 19.5 games. Fingers crossed

I had $1 on Ram because he was 4.x so just a flippant punt. Lost $20 on Baghdatis - don't know what happened there... I thought he was a shoe-in.

Clearly not a good day for Baghdatis. I watched the game a bit, and he was so slow and so far behind the baseline, just hitting the ball back and waiting for a free point. Very unusual.

I didn't even bother watching I was that pretty certain he'd win. He's been playing really well recently. I kicked myself a week or so ago for not taking him v Schartzmann (which he won 6-0 6-0) and the odds were kind of ridiculous (thing Baggy was 2.7 or something which I couldn't figure out, but never took the bet).

Gone for Cuevas, following @Bert's tip

Quite liking Taro Daniel at 2.32 vs Paulo Lorenzi. Think I'll place a small one on him also.

 

[Bert]

Gone for Pouille and Montanes too.

 

[britbox]

Taken your cue for Pouille and backed him too.

Pressure on me now Montanes just took the first set 6-1. Looks good. On Pouille I took him with a handicap of -2.5 games @ 1.63. Seemed a good value to me.

No pressure on you pal, remember I gave you Baghdatis.... Bad loss.

I didn't forget. I will send you my bank details for a refund

 

[Bert]

Went for Delbonis in 2 sets in Bucharest and a combo on Suarez-Navarro + Halep @ 1.77 in Stuttgart.

 

[britbox]

Cuevas, Carla Suarez Navarro and Pouille came in, lost out on Taro Daniel... who got a clinic from Paulo Lorenzi. I don't think I'll be betting on any Lorenzi matches again... everytime I back him he loses, and everytime I go against he wins.

 

[britbox]

Any value in Karen Khaconov at 3.4 @Bert? I'm tempted on a small scale.

 

[Bert]

Don't know. Haven't watched his match against Bautista (who does not play his best on clay) and I have no information on him.
Now he defeated Bautista, Dolgopolov will know what to expect. Maybe bet on a 3 sets match or Dolgo to win 2-1, looks safer. But I won't go into this one, no enough info for me.

 

[britbox]

Didn't go with it thankfully as he lost.

 

[Bert]

Have you watched him played ? He is good ?

 

[Bert]

Few bets that look safe today : Nishikori, Delbonis. I think they can both win in 2.
Haase can give a lot of troubles to Verdasco as well, he leads 3-1 against him and won their only clay clash. Don't think he will win but can definitely take a set.
Nadal - Fognini in more than 17.5 games @ 1.35 seems good value too.

I didn't dig into WTA matches, happy to hear any advices for that

 

[britbox]

I was tempted on Jaziri but held back... he was 4.x and Fog is 6.x last time I checked.
