There are several value prices around this week - results often go a little awry in the week before a slam.

Alami to beat Ilie is too high, there was 2.55 earlier at 5Dimes. Alami holds a 2-0 record albeit a few yrs ago.

Elsner +160 v Hipfl is too high again. Elsner got into the main draw by ranking, Hipfl needed a wildcard. Both have been bounced in R1 qualifying in recent weeks, should be closer than the price indicates.

Gaudenzi +140 v Massu (WSEX), huge price. Surrey in the UK have +110 on Massu! Thr market should be somewhere in the middle. Massu has beaten Gaudenzi this year, on hardcourt, but this is tight and the price is overs.

Kroslak +190 (Oly) v Dosedel is attractive - Dosedel won a challenger event last week in Prague, but needed three sets to beat some very ordinary players, some of which I hadn't even heard of. Kroslak goes OK, their one clash was several yrs ago at Wimbledon, went to Dosedel in four sets on a surface that would suit Dosedel.

according Portas - I have just read that he should have arrived at midday in St.Pölten, but missed his flight.
The next flight was too late and he arrived only an hour and a half before the game has been started and three hours later he was ready for leaving St.Pölten - one of the shortest visits I have ever heard of - and I´m sure he doesn´t care.

St.Pölten has been the last turnier on clay before the French Open for the last years and although there always play a lot of "stars" most of them seem to take this event not serious.
The one who are in good form may decide to rest and don´t destroy the form and the one who are not in good form seem to do the same.

Surrey & WillHill both have risk limits per player online. THat means they set a max to lose total, and then that gradually gets whittled down until adjusted, which is rarely done overnight.

Surrey often list matches as suspended on 'off lines' as they've been pounded and the limit has been exhausted. If you get in early you can get on for several hundred pounds. They do take much larger bets over the phone though, you might want to try that freecall thing they have on their site.

Hills have a similar system, but even if the limit has been exhausted, they will let you on for 10 pounds which you can take again and again. They do start with quite a large figure online, 2000 pounds or so.

Not so sure about Stan James, they discriminate between clients, so you might get 2000 pounds, you may only get 200.

Thx Boris- FWIW the books that cater to mostly American sports that take decent pop for Tennis that I know of(when they decide to have it up) are WSEX,Direcbet and Olympic. My experience with the Euro books are the online limits are almost laughable. I opened with Betinternet and the limit was $146 US which I think is about 100 pounds, hopefully they increase for the grandslams. Although I have no experience with Willhill or Stanjames, sounds like they are the leaders on that side of the pond.
