This blog is about betting and trading on tennis. I make daily picks for my readers to bet on. I bet on tennis matches but often trade out of the positions using a sports trading platform such as Betfair or Betdaq, however, all my picks can be taken without trading out of them. Total picks since start of 2012 without trading: 82 Wins/36 Losses and Return on Investment (ROI) = 4.5%.

First picks of the day
Not much to report on except that I had a bad day betting on dogs. I had a list of dogs that I liked that I whittled down to what you see below. I feel like I robbed myself because also on the list was Chiudinelli,
Youzhny, Cipolla. Which I did not end up picking and they all ended up winning, but not every day can be a winning day. Roddick still hasn't won his match yet, although it looks as though he's going to complete a 1 set down comeback.
My first pick tomorrow is (gasp)
F. Lopez @ 14 v Federer - Maybe some of your are thinking that this is a waste of money, but hear me out. Federer has snuck by some close matches recently (Davydenko in Rotterdam) and although he has won 4/6 tournaments he's played in recently Djokovic, Murray, and Rafa barely had a presence at any of them if at all. These courts are super fast which will help Lopez more than Roger. Fed has also been struggling with his return game for awhile and the heavy topspin that Lopez employs from time to time will come into play against Fed's one-handed backhand. It is going to be much closer than these odds suggest.
This is my only pick in Dubai. I will have picks up for Delray Beach and Acapulco closer to their start times.

Finals Results
My 1 pick for the day on Del Po hit. His 6-4, 6-4 win over Llodra was about right. I assumed he wouldn't lose two in a row. I wanted to take Ferrer and Raonic as well, but for various reasons I didn't. Although I did bet on Ferrer after he held the 1st game in the second set and traded out at the beginning of the 3rd for a nice 72% profit.
Tomorrow is a new week with tourney's in Dubai, Delray Beach and Acapulco (this is chronological order, not alphabetical). As always I will try to do better this week. Even though I'm happy with last weeks performance.
Picks should be up in the next couple of ours.

Semis Results
Semis picks for today were 2/2. It was especially nice since Del Po was a dog against Tsonga. Raonic won with relative ease and it seems like he's in route for back2back titles.
Again I've been very choosy about clay court tourneys as my knowledge of clay courts in general is lacking. I thought about taking Wawrinka and Nalbandian today which would not have been good as Wawrinka lost in 3 and Nalbandian is down a set as I write this.
I'll have picks up tomorrow before the matches start. I'm leaning toward DelPo, Raonic, and Ferrer if he wins but I haven't decided yet.

Tough loss earlier, Western Hemisphere picks
Tough loss on Davydenko v Del Potro. After Davydenko's performance against Fed last week some would say he's back. He did look better, and he did take the first set off of Del Po. I choose to trade out at this point, probably because of how I got burned earlier in the week and secondly because I wasn't sure if Davydenko could take him down in two sets.
