This is what I mean with the young talent, Thiem has lost in a match he should of won however Hurkacz has been in some good form lately but still I call this an upset. Nishikori also lost in an upset to Lajovic after Nishikori won the first set easily so are we going to see another tournament with a lot of upsets and the top players losing early on? 

Let me tell you how lucky I was yesterday LOL

I had this bet 6 fold:
Two in two cricket match: Straight win (won)
Osaka, Naomi - Wickmayer, Yanina: Osaka (won)
Raonic, Milos - Marterer, Maximilian: Raonic (match void)
Kenin, Sofia - Andreescu, Bianca Vanessa : Andreescu (My new girl after Bencic and won)
Thiem, Dominic - Hurkacz, Hubert : Thiem (This is where I was lucky)

After winning all the above there were some long time to start Thiem match. The odd for the fold was 8+ initially but after the void match the new odd was 7.02. So obviously they offers a good amount in return to cash out and I cashed out without waiting for Thiem match.

Then I used some of the winning and placed another bet combined with:

Thiem, Dominic - Hurkacz, Hubert : Thiem
Bencic, Belinda - Putintseva, Yulia : Bencic (I can not just resist myself when I see Bencic is in the pitch. Same goes with Thiem and that Canadian girl)
Sonego, Lorenzo - Isner, John : Isner (it was in play at the time I placed the bet)
Djokovic, Novak - Tomic, Bernard : Djokovic
Albot, Radu - Federer, Roger : Federer

I woke up in the morning and found out Thiem lost! Also Bencic lost unfortunately.

But here is where I am lucky. In my first bet if I would wait for Thiem instead of settling with cash out then I would lose all the money that they offered. I really feel lucky that I cashed out.

Bencic will be playing Yulia Putintseva in the next 30 minutes. Osaka already won,  6-0, 6-7, 6-1. Nishikori is out though, he was upset Dušan Lajović  6-2, 2-6, 3-6. Kenin vs Andreescu is live right now,  Andreescu takes the first set, 6-3 and leading the second set, 4-3.

Djokovic vs Tomic: Djokovic (easy pick)
Federer vs Albot: Federer (another easy pick)
Zverez vs Ferrer: not sure
Thiem vs Hurkacz : Thiem (He is having great time. Federer lost in the last Indian Wells final against him)
Tsitsipas vs M. McDonald: Not sure

For the women side, I hope Naomi Osaka gets a pass this time.
So,
Osaka vs Wickmayer : Osaka
Kenin vs Andreescu : Andreescu (In men side if Thiem is playing extra ordinary then this Canadian girl is also having her best time. She won Indian Wells just few days ago.)

Where is Bencic?

Ok, I checked the schedule in the men's side and there are a lot of known names who is going to play, it's round of 64 already so the fun has started.

Djokovic vs Tomic
Federer vs Albot
Zverez vs Ferrer (this could be a great match)
Thiem vs Hurkacz (another match to watch)
Tsitsipas vs M. McDonald

Interesting note on the women's side: Naomi Osaka, eldest sister Mari, will be playing in this tournament. Unfortunately, she lost against a 16th year old Whitney Osuigwe, 6-2, 6-4.

You are right in sense.

Big players don't take these small tournaments that much seriously hence we see unpredicted results. But this kind of tournaments are good for the young players who are knocking at the door with possibilities to showcase their talents.

Correct, it's really up to the person on what matches he/she would like to bet, specially if the odd are that great. I guess this kind of tournaments is also good to gauge your analysis to an extend, but obviously upsets to happen in small tournaments.

@Royse777 - please continue to place your bets here, there's nothing wrong with it, as I have said, it's depends on the individual, whether to tail you or not.

I guess its up to people on what matches they like to bet on however I don't understand why people bet on these tournaments. I know the odds can be enticing but its just too risky in my opinion. Yes we can say this for all sports however I think its best to bet in Grand Slam tournaments as there seems to be less upsets then any of the other tournaments.

I lost the 3 fold for McDonald. In both set, he was playing well but in the final games he collapsed. Unlucky me and another user who PMed me he also risked some money after seeing my prediction.

I would like to clear this to the community that, I am not a professional tipster. The predictions I post are just for fun. I love risking money and love sharing it with the community. Please please do not place any bet based on my prediction. I felt bad for that user last night.

Please be responsible with your money.

Cheers :-)

Correct, but in any case, I will also pick McDonald here, but I guess Sonego has other plans. Of course, this qualifying round will produce a lot of surprises so it's hard to put a bet and I usually pass on it. But knowing @Royse777, he really loves to bet on tennis game so goodluck on the next round.  

Miami is a tournament which have qualifier matches and they are very hard to decide who will be the winner at the end the match.
So might be a better idea to look how each player is performing then decide who you believe has a stronger game for the day between the two.

I guess McDonald was a risky pick considering the recent form of both players. On the paper McDonald should definitely outclass Sonego but seems like Sonego is playing some better tennis right now since I'm last tournament he beat players like Chardy J. or Harisson R. Thats why I don't like to place bets in early rounds of big tournaments, especially in qualifying rounds. A lot of surprises appear there. Congrats for the other two picks.

Yeah you could be right, well hopefully now that Thiem has won his first ever Masters title that he will start winning more titles this year. Like a few of us have said he does seem to struggle a little on hard courts just like Nadal did early on in his career so if he can turn this around then he could then become that top player we believe he can be.

I am waiting for three matches which I am going to place a three fold.

Albot R. vs Krueger M.: Albot
Auger-Aliassime F. vs Lorenzi P. : Auger-Aliassime
McDonald M. vs Sonego L. : McDonald

What do you guys think?

Edit:
15:40
Come on McDonald. He just broke the 7th game of 2nd set after losing his first serve of the 2nd set (2nd game). Now he is going to serve. Hope he equalize. First set was unfortunate for him

Maybe what he meant is that Thiem should have been winning more titles in the last two year but he is still young at 25 so there's a lot of progress in this kid. Winning against Federer is already a big accomplishment and moral booster for him, so I'm sure he will almost try to look for a trophy in every tournament he enters.

Yes, it was a rain-delayed tournament, lol, anyways, I was quite surprised to find out that James Blake is the tournament director.  

Not sure what you mean by Thiem slowly going down hill in the past 2 years. Actually he has been playing a lot better in the past year as this time last year he was in top form leading into the French Open. Did you miss the French Open final of last year? because Thiem made the final but just wasn't good enough to beat Nadal on the day however he did beat Nadal in a lead up tournament before the French Open so to say that he has been slowly going down hill is wrong in my opinion.

Yep, all Miami matches are postponed for same time tomorrow. I played a nice little treble today and looked forward to watch how it played out. On the good side of news weather should be nice for the rest of the weak in Miami so no more postponement.

^^
Unfortunately the miami wta matches are currently in a rain delay. And the mens side which should of started at 9 est this morning havent started either. So they might be rained out until tomorrow.

Yh I know. It hurts LOL

By the way I was able to create a 5 fold on the other day:

I already won the first 4 now I am waiting for Begu vs Andreescu match. Andreescu should win it easily after the extraordinary performance in Indian Wells.

The only regret for me is that I put a shit lot of small amount of money LOL

Yes, Nadal really need to listen to his body, we would like to see him in French Open 100% as he is the defending champion, and who is the runner up? Dominic Thiem.  . So it will be so interesting to see the tournament as it looks like Federer and Nadal and Djokovic are really up against the best young talents that we have right now and it could really be the a lot of changes in the rankings at the end of the year.

Similar to womens side, a young 17 year old is on the rise, and then Osaka and lot of young ladies are vying for the top spot. Andreescu was really a shocker so let's see if he can be the young  Serena Williams who won this tournament as 17 years of age as well 20 years ago.

@Royse777 - too bad my friend, our predictions are all wrong, so I also lost.
