By Nila Amerova
Hamburg, Germany – As day two of the Tennis Masters Series (TMS) Hamburg draws near, the online betting market at BetUS Sportsbook is heating up with sports bettors wagering on tennis. So if you have not joined in on the sports betting action yet, I got one question for you: What are you waiting for? Tennis odds are currently running at BetUS Sportsbook for the prestigious Hamburg Masters and with so many stellar matchups on offer in the online betting market, guaranteed an angle of profit is to be made by sports betting enthusiasts. Betting on tennis has never been so exciting. So don’t miss out. To get you started, here are some choice tennis free picks to consider when wagering on the first round tomorrow.
Tennis Betting Line: Julien Benneteau +170 Carlos Moya -220
Match Time: 11:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday May 13, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Carlos Moya enters this matchup as the favourite on the money line at -220; but he is so tipped for one reason and only one reason: surface advantage. Carlos Moya is a veteran player and his career best results have come on clay. He is after all the mentor and friend of today’s ruler of the dirt – Rafael Nadal. Moya weighs in at No.12 in the ATP rankings, but owns a mediocre 11-11 mark for the season. In three clay court tournaments on the European swing, he thrice crashed out of the tournament in his opening match. It is time for Moya to deliver in a clay event this spring.
Tennis Free Picks: Moya in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Luis Horna EV Potito Starace -140
Match Time: 11:00 AM Eastern Time, Tuesday May 13, 2008
Tennis Prediction: Ranked No.85 in the World, Luis Horna’s Rome performance went a long way in improving his odds for his first round match against No.47 Potito Starace. Horna owned the victory that saw him upset Gasquet in the second round and reach the third round of Rome (l. to Radek Stepanek). Potito Starace in comparison was able to reach only the second round in Rome – his home event. In Hamburg, the higher ranked Starace is slightly favoured over Horna; but if there is value to be had betting on this matchup it is on Horna. Based on his performance at last week’s Rome Masters, Horna, who should be enjoying a burst of confidence, is the better play.
Tennis Free Picks: Horna in straight sets
