It turns out there isn’t a real lot of sport on anywhere on the planet today, so let’s take the opportunity to look ahead to the Australian Open tennis, which starts in January, and get some early bets on. We’re going to place two bets on this year’s men’s event – one for value and one as cover.
Juan Martin del Potro enjoyed a wonderful 2013 as he rose through the ranks to finish the year as world number five and we predict this could be the year he breaks through for his second Grand Slam win after taking out the US Open back in 2009. At around $13 for the win in Melbourne he is worth putting a unit on, although we recommend laying two units on defending champion Novak Djokovic at around $3.50 as cover. Djokovic has won the past three Australian Opens and will be hard to beat in this one.
