Tennis Gambling Line: Jill Craybas -190 Renata Voracova +145
Match Time: 12 AM Eastern Time Thursday, February 7, 2008
Tennis Prediction: This is the first career meeting between the veteran player Jill Craybas (33-years-old) and Renata
Voracova of the Czech Republic. In terms of betting on this matchup, Craybas holds the surface advantage. Despite being almost 10 years senior, the favorite is a good play. While Voracova plays both clay and hard court moderately well, most of her successes have come on clay. Moreover, Craybas, holds a 5-3 record for the season, compared to Voracova’s 0-2 losing record.
Tennis Free Picks: Craybas in straight sets
Tennis Gambling Line:Olga Poutchkova +105 Tamarine Tanasugarn -145
Match Time: 12 AM Eastern Time Thursday, February 7, 2008
Tennis Prediction: No.97 Olga Poutchkova of Russia ranks slightly higher than No.105 Tamarine Tanasugarn of Thailand, but is disadvantaged on the money line at +105. Indeed, Tanasugarn, who holds home court advantage, will be the crowd favourite, but she appears to be the bookies favourite as well. I would take the odds makers bait in this match up and bet on the underdog Poutchkova to upset the favourite.
Tennis Free Picks: Poutchkova in straight sets.
