Europa league. Day 2. Experiment with Metalist Kharkov – AZ Alkmaar match

Not much thoughts on today’s Europa league matches. But there is one where I can go on with testing my syste, betting on overs slightly into the match. In outright I have posted my prediction that this match will have more then 2 goals in it, despite he fact that odds on overs are rising, perhaps due to expectations that Metalist will play very careful. But let’s go back to Betfair betting strategy that I will try for this match.

Champions league Day 2 : Easy winning bets for Real, Inter, Zenit and unlucky Bayern overs

I will start my review of the day 2 with Wednesday match Zenit St.Petersburg vs. Porto bet, as I had a slight experiment in it. So pre-match tip for that match was overs, which I posted on my blogabet blog and it came easily with Zenit winning 3:1 (Shirokov 20′, 63′; Danny 72′ – Rodriguez 10′). But I would like to stop on adding value to this bet, which I mentioned in the last paragraph. That’s strategy is a bit similar to the one I used to post here some time ago and I will try to spend more time on betting system experiments.

Betfair strategy for the Zenit – Porto game.

Friday tennis preview: Stosur and Radwanska in hot form

Today there are  some interesting fixtures in both WTA Toronto and ATP Montreal tournaments. There has been a lot of surprises yesterday, Kvitova played awfully against Petkovic and lost, Sharapova couldn’t cope with the wind and lost to Voskoboeva, Zvonareva lost for the 2nd time in as many weeks to supreme Radwanska. Today I will take a look on some of the matches.

WTA Toronto: Agnieszka Radwanska – Andrea Petkovic

Radwanska is now in her best ever form, winning tournament in Carslbad and still having no problems here in Toronto. She defeated Zvonareva (runner-up at US Open 10′) now twice in 2 weeks time and she is definetely one of the favorites to win US Open 2011.
Radwanska holds 3-0 record against Petkovic. Moreover Agneszka defeated Petkovic in Carlsbad last week. I will go with the Polish talent.

Europa league value bet: Hapoel to beat Vaduz again

Just a short note on today’s fixture #1 for me. Hapoel Tel Aviv is a much better team then Vaduz and even if they decide to send a 2nd choice team in Liechtenstein, I still think they will win convincingly. Liechtenstein club is a no match to Israeli. 1st match ended 4:0, 2nd one I think will also end with Hapoel’s win. So the great value is in -1 asian handicap bet which is available at Bet365 and some other bookies, including I guess Pinnacle. For those who prefer more safer bet, draw no bet or asian handicap (0) also represent value.

ATP bets for today: Starace, Benneteau and Dimitrov to win today

Today I will take a look at 3 bets in 3 different tournaments. Julien Benneteau unfortunately already started, so I will focus on the rest matches.

ATP Umag tournament. Potito Starace –  Juan Ignacio Chela. 

This is surely an even match. The reason why Chela is favorite is solely because he made a good run at French Open. After that he haven’t showed anything positive. 2nd round loss to Bogomolov in 3 sets at Wimbledon, 1st round loss to Kamke at Hamburg ATP.  Starace has nothing to be proud of this season, but still he remains a positive clay court specialist. Advantages playing into his racket: he played 1 match here already, defeating Thiemo De Bakker  and Potito won last 2 matches against Chela, including last year win in semi-final. Overall head-2-head is even as we can see.  Starace is my call and overs in games.

HIK Helsinki – Dinamo Zagreb preview: Will HIK win today against strong Croats?

HIK gave their man stars a rest on Saturday. In their match against Jaro 3 key players were on the bench, Raifinha, Sadik and Lindstrom. Now they are preparing to take on Dinamo Zagreb, who are definetely a team with more experience. But HIK has an upper hand in terms of form. HIK are midway through the season, while Dinamo Zagreb just played on game. Moreover HIK is in great form, according to their own standarts and that’s the reason why they have every chance to win Dinamo in 1st leg. Odds also look big for the home team.

There is also one bet that look really valuable for me, that’s HIK Helsinki +0/+0,5. Pinnacle gives 1.735 on that, which I consider a good price.

Bet of the weekend: HIK Helsinki to continue with great form against Jaro

After a long break I am back with this blog and I will continue picking some good value picks. The only change of tactics is that I will picking fewer picks, with teams or players in good form and only those whom I watched personally. I am also still running a blog at Blogabet.com, but as I have fewer time recently, it lacks some quality and quite often I’ve noticed that I have picked some matches, which are completely against the logic. I will improve on that, but that also means that I will have fewer picks posted there.

Jaro – HIK Helsinki. Betting preview (23/07/2011).  

Back to my pick of the weekend. There is one team that brought a lot of profit recently and it’s HIK Helsinki from Finnland.
