THERE was a boost for British women's tennis on Tuesday as Johanna Konta achieved the biggest win of her career and Heather Watson joined her in round three at Eastbourne.
Konta's victory over Ekaterina Makarova was her first against a player in the world's top 10 and her reward is a clash with 14th seed Garbine Muguruza today.
The British No.2 is 6-4 at Paddy Power to grab another confidence-building win while Venezuelan-Spaniard Muguruza is 8-13 at Boylesports and Sportingbet.
Also in Eastbourne action are the second and third title favourites with Agnieszka Radwanska 10-11 at Boylesports in her battle with Karolina Pliskova (evens, bet365).
There's also plenty of men's action from Nottingham including the likes of Gilles Simon, Sam Querrey and Marcos Baghdatis, who knocked out top seed David Ferrer yesterday.
Elsewhere it's a pretty quiet day of sport with a cricket ODI between India and Bangladesh and Major League Baseball on the agenda.
Good luck with your bets and let's hear your tips and chat.
Ok so betting system I created for tennis aim 20pt 1pt=10pt
Starting pot 60 pt
Cibulkova – Pironkova
Bet1 – Cibulkova to win @ 11/10 2pt
Bet 2 – Pironkova to win 2-1. @ 3/1 6pt
Can you elaborate on that betting system as it does not seem to make any sense

Pegula was a void bet in the end, although I thought after 1 set if someone retired it still counted. Even so, if both had come through it should have been 2.02 TRD2. Not sure how you got 1.55?

Beat me to Mr W. Lettuce
Mens Wimbledon Qualifier Double:
ITO Vs. Myriah
ZOPP Vs. Robert
Two picks from my first round treble. ITO playing felkow countryman with good recent H2H form. Zopp is playing over 300 places in rankings (which doesn’t mean much)and beat his last opponent well. Good price for Zopp.
Just over evens @ Bet 365
Good look Baggio looks solid.
11am Eastbourne
Cibulkova 2-0 v Pironkova 3/1 William Hill NB
Bouchard 2-0 v Bencic 3/1 Boylesports
Not much look on the 2-0 yesterday or over weekend but hoping to get back on track today
12midday
Dennis Istomin 2-0 v Stakhovsky 13/5 Sportingbet Nap
win trixie on above also with boylesports
i was considering a treble of Bencic Muguruza and Stephens today at around 3/1 – good win for Bencic yesterday over Keys and although Bouchard won yesterday her overall form this year is shocking. Any thoughts on this one AD or anyone else?
Thanks Brah! Might have a dabble on your treble. Ito to get us off to a good start.
Muguruza
Bouchard
Wozniacki
Lopez
Dolgopolov
Simon
Baghdatis
Mannarino
Juan, Riske basically just got overpowered. Her forehand couldn’t match up. Bouchard still made errors but was too strong as she was just smashing the balls off Riske’s forehand.
Sorry my first post made no sence
The betting system I use is based on my own selections . . Starting pot 60 aim 200 . I do thing over 30 days , once profits stops bank start again
10 point wagered = nb
20 points wagered = nap
I always do a small cover bet, because tennis is so unpredictable at times.
The selection today is over priced . . Head to heads she’s won 8-9 times , all convincing wins. Yes the loss was on grass. But the way the weather is today the grass will b hard so looks all set for a nice win .
I’m sorry if I was vague in first post, have a little one who’s teething. So had little time to post last night .
As for Bouchard , I would stay away. Yes she’s talented , but has not been the same since the knee injury. I view her as a player to watch next year. ( just a personal opinion)
Someone should tell Konta she’s not British and that applies to that Somalian as well. You are either a cat or a dog and she’s Australian!
Ito looking shaky in the first set!!
Bye Bouchard. Meltdown complete
turkey women to win today @ evens
also fancy madrid to win as the underdog.
thoughts? (looks at hunter)
Cheers Felix – i was wondering why so many had tipped Bouchard after such a bad year!
And she’s just retired.
Must have had a Saki. Ito back in it with a break.
I’m following the live score on the Cibulkova game. 8 breaks in 12 games, gotta love WTA!

Not a great night. Should have gone double stakes on the Twins hits really.

of the other two 2-0 bets on the WTA matches;
one lost and one void & the trixe became a double which lost as only Istomin won
Profit at any rate on the day – so onwards and may have to focus on ATP due to the erratic nature of women 0r should that be womens tennis ;-)
Tonight’s MLB bets-
Phillies @ Yankees

Cardinals @ Marlins
Team to score first wins @ 1.37
Double @ 1.85

Afternoon gents
WNBA
* Chicago Sky HT/FT @ 4/5
Mentioned at the start of the season to back against the dream on the spread and it has gone even better than expected so far , It is now 8 games played with 6 winning and 2 losing against the spread wich is good profit :), I’m not taking the spread on this one though I’ve bet the HT/FT instead of the – 7.5 on the sky as might be a bit to much to ask for and the reason why I’m posting and changing the spread to the double result for this game , the spread still is coverable of course but this is the safer option in my opinion
^^^^
Atlanta Dream @ Chicago Sky
Afternoon mate. How was Ibiza? Am I right in saying its the NBA draft tonight?
NBA
2015 Draft Bet
* Emanuel Mudiay draft position 5th pick or lower @ 8/11
If all goes to plan he should be the 5th pick in the draft, it’s touching cloth a bit as he should be exactly 5th but barring any trades should be a sure bet
All good buddy , amazing mate first time I been there it was immense ,
Hope you have been carrying on winning without any hoops and those warriors winnings have been spent wisely ;)
Just a couple months to go til the NFL now mate can’t wait
Draft is on Tomorow night mate
Win Double Coral pays approx 6/4
Gilles Simon 4/7 off at 3pm
Sloane Stephens 4/7 off at 3-30pm
Strong bet ;-)
Picksix did you mean touch and go or touching cloth :-)
Beat me to Mr W. Lettuce
Mens Wimbledon Qualifier Double:
ITO Vs. Myriah
ZOPP Vs. Robert
Two picks from my first round treble. ITO playing felkow countryman with good recent H2H form. Zopp is playing over 300 places in rankings (which doesn’t mean much)and beat his last opponent well. Good price for Zopp.
Just over evens @ Bet365
Zopp was a flop and Ito was just a knob and lost.
Picksix GSW winnings have been partly spent on a couple nights in a local fancy golf resort with the Mrs so the new 4K tv will have to wait haha, been doing ok on the footy, not brilliant but in profit which is all that counts.
Haven’t been to Ibiza myself but have been to Kavos and that was enough for me. Too many English which is what I want to get away from when I go away. Party islands no good for me mate. Weekend in Amsterdam will suffice ;)
Jordan
Watch out for the mice on the stairs if you go to a windmill.
Dazzler it could yet be both mate haha
Jordan got mine still in my account, was buzzing coming back seing they won 4-2 aswell as I had a large stake on the -1.5 series handicap aswell as the 7/2 outright winning I had no idea of the results until I came home
good to hear , been doing well myself mate a few things I fancy coming up over the weekend and then it looks like a break on the cards for me after that
Haha it takes a lot out of you going there mate although must be said Amsterdam is probably my favourite place on earth
Cycling: Tour de France 2015 (starts 4th July)
The bookies are starting to put up markets and this one is looking very good:
FROOME to beat Nibali in general classification
QUINTANA to win the young rider classification
Double @ 2.13 with 888 / uni-bet
I think it will be Quintana vs Froome in this tour. I think Nibali will have to let Froome go in the 2nd or 3rd week when there are loads of summit finishes. I can see Quintana end up on the podium and with the other youngsters being far behind his level he should be the best youngster in the race.
Hi all,
For anybody interested I’m going to be starting something new myself this week. Every day im going to be doing an extremely short priced favourite acca across sports which pays around EVS. Each day I will post one of these for a £20 stake with the aim of landing 4/7 a week to return a profit…..
It’s a long tedious process but I’m bored of betting big and want to try and return a steady profit , some may prefer higher stakes, some lower….
As I say if you want big returns at big prices this isn’t for you I will be doing accas featuring 1/2-1/12 shots. I know people will disagree and say what’s the point to back at such short odds but as long as I can land 4/7 a week I’ll be happy….. I’ll keep a rolling balance….
Nobody may be interested but I’ll post the tip daily if anybody fancies the featured acca from time to time !
So first bet was ment to be
Cibulkova to win at 11/10 2pt win
Pionkova 2-1 @ 0.6pt win
Loss of 0.2pts
Current pot 58pt
Bet 2 errani vs gavrilova
In play gav to win 2-0 8/13 2pts
Win Double Coral pays approx 6/4 WON!!!
Gilles Simon 4/7 off at 3pm
Sloane Stephens 4/7 off at 3-30pm
Strong bet ;-)
WON !!!
Cheers De Niro … first tennis bet I have done (warming up to follow a few tips for Wimbledon!)- great tip :)
For anyone interested, Estrada is taking a perfect game into the 8th inning for Toronto with 6 more outs to get. This means he has retired 21 batters in a row and needs 27 in total. It’s shown live on bet365 inplay
Jinxed it… infield single with just 5 remaining!!!
