Betfair Tennis Trading Tips: Australian Open Day 1

All times are UK/Irish and are subject to change, and all times are in 24hr format e.g., 01.00 = 1am and 16:00 = 4pm:

PLEASE NOTE, IF THERE ARE LIQUIDITY ISSUES, ALWAYS KEEP THE STAKES LOW

AUSTRALIAN OPEN DAY 1:

MENS:

1. 00:00 – Ito v Klizan:

Klizan is one of best lefties in ATP at the moment. He played rather well against many top players in last years’ Grand Slams. His most recent Grandslam was a 5 set loss to Berdych which shows that this guy is definitely stepping it up.

I just don’t think Ito has a chance here against the Slovak who had a decent tournament in Brisbane beating Dolgopolov and Melzer.

—> Back Klizan @1.4, lay @1.18

2. 02:45 – Melzer v Estrella Burgos –> HOT TIP

I’ve no idea why Melzer odds are this high. Burgos is traditionally a clay courter and hasn’t done anything interesting on Hard Courts. Melzer’s form has been decent considering he qualified beating a tough Steve Darcis. Go for the Austrian!

–> Back Melzer @1.45, lay @1.14

3. 07:00 – Jaziri v Kukushkin –> HOT TIP

Another player whose form has been very impressive coming into this Grandslam is Kukushkin. He had a wonderful tournament in Sydney beating Istomin, Del Potro and Mayer (all good hard courters) to reach the final.

Also to add insult to injury, Jaziri has played Kuku 4 times (all on hard courts) and winning 0!

Go for the Kazakh definitely!

Back Kuku @1.44, lay @1.16

WOMENS:

4. 00:00 – Gajdosova v Dulgheru –> HOT TIP

Gajdosova played well both in Sydney and Brisbane losing only to Ivanovic and Kvitova who are top ranked players. Considering her present form, this is definitely worth backing the Aussie.

—> Back Gajdosova @1.35, lay @1.18

5. 01:30 – Voegele v Parmentier

Parmentier has been on a very bad patch coming into this match losing 9 of her last 10 matches, all on hard courts! Voegele looks like the right favourite after all!

Back Voegele @1.5, lay @1.25

Good luck on Day 1 of the first Grand Slam of the year!

Some Terms Explained:

Back: Normal Stakes – use 10% of bank.
Back Heavy(BH) – use up to 30% of bank. Used at members discretion. Delay and Trade.
Lay: Normal stakes – use 10% of bank.
Lay Heavy(LH) – use up to 30% of bank. Used at members discretion. Delay and Trade.
Likely 3 Setter – consider laying the winner of the first set.
Hot Tip – I have more confidence in these tips. However, use normal stake sizes.

Tips are deemed unsuccessful at 40% loss of stake.

All odds shown with the tips are correct at time of publishing. Odds are often given several hours ahead of the event. If odds have changed, adjust your back/lay stake accordingly e.g. if I tip ‘Back at 1.5, Lay at 1.25’ – and back odds move to 1.55, adjust your lay odds to 1.3 – there are still 25 ticks between the back and lay odds.

Delay and Trade!! It’s OK to place your trades before the match starts, but in my opinion, waiting 2/3 games before placing your trades is the safest way to trade. This is advised in many of the articles below. To delay and trade will give you a good feel for the match. Delay and Trade is a MUST if you are Backing Heavy. Delaying is advised mostly for the women’s game, as early breaks of serve are more likely.  Please read the relevant article below.
