A bet, fresh from Betfair (still hot). Michael Llodra vs. Fernando Verdasco (Davis Cup). If you've watched the game, you have seen the scenario I've told you about in one of my previous articles. This is one of THE chances to make money. Verdasco - being the favorite of the game, wasn't really worth betting on at 1.5. Let's first see how the game develops. Llodra was having a good first set, and a tie break was needed to finish it. Llodra made a mistake and Verdasco took the first win home. This is THE CHANCE!

Place a bet on Llodra! He is well worth betting on and... surprise, surprise, Llodra took the second AND the third set! Verdasco is now available at 15 and let's close the open bet.

Fourth and final set was decided by another tie-break, this time for Llodra!!

A great game, well worth watching - and betting. I cannot emphasize enough, how important it is to follow the players and get to know their weaknesses and strengths. Placing bets blindly would definitely result in backing Verdasco, am I right? Llodra is an experienced player and there was no risk in him running out of power in the second set or later. But, like always - you need to be a bit lucky as well. This time - everything was on my side - again!

Good luck - with whatever you bet.
