 i personally would save my money for the next tournament rather than risk it here - this could go either way I would give the slight advantage to verdasco.

 This will be a close match but I fancy Andreev to win this. This is the surface he loves and the head to head matches were 3-4 years ago so I won't look into that too much now. Value here with Andreev.

 froggy I would hedge for sure,even if that wager were on a player with a higher probability of winning like parmentier or del Potro I would still hedge and insure myself some winnings.the way verdasco has looked this week,and you look at his stats he has been incredible,that is a very risky bet.Even if you hedge and andreev wins you still come out on top.Wagering is all about money management and for me that has been the hardest thing to learn,it makes watching sport so much more enjoyable,even minor tournaments like the ones going on now.I would have little interest in bad gastein for instance if it were not for wagering.cheers and good luck whatever you do.

 Fernando Verdasco (ESP) d. Igor Andreev (RUS) 3-6 6-4 7-6(4) at Umag ATP (CRO) - Clay, Final <<
 Hi, this is my first post on what is an extremely cool and informative site.
This is not the most insightful post I know, but what I really need is some advice from some fellow punters who would understand the ups and downs of the betting life. Usually pretty good at what I do,building my bank up for a while, but have been on a bad run of late losing a lot to be honest, after letting a few personal issues affect my betting judgement, staking and discipline.
Have 2.37k riding on andreev winning tonight from two legged multi. I feel if I lose this I really need to walk away and give the game away. So my question is if you were in my position would you hedge out(div 3.95)for a risk free bet to fight another day or let it ride and take the risk in the knowledge that it would be your last bet for a while if you lost tonight?
I know it is my decision to make but as I have not been thinking too clearly of late I thought it would be good to get some insight from others and any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers froggy

 If Verdasco doesn't lose it completely like against Berdych when I couldnt stop laughing he should win it absolutely. But I have the feeling that since this is a final he might just have another one of those.

 This is really going to be a tough one to bet on. For the moment (imo) Fernando Verdasco plays the best he can. And Andreev is an increasing star. Just now they are equal in theory. So, I have to find some other, more risky parameter to lean on IF there will be a bet from my side. An abstract one is the mentally behavior under strong stress.

From my point of view is Verdasco much closer to a real choking than Andreev is. At least he was know to choke now and then in the past. Please correct me if I'm wrong in that statement, but because of the feeling "maybe-choking" I will trust Igor Andreev today with a minor bet.

 I don't normally bet on Verdasco unless I know he'll really be trying. This is a final so I'll take his class to edge him past the industrious Russian.

 kane90, if you are asking me I am very confident in that Igor will provide a contest and can eventually, by attrition, win this match. Possibly a likely Andreev match - 3 sets with games going to scorlines like 6/4, 7/5, 7/6 etc etc. hey, I have my money on him.

Tip: ATP Players can have an uncanny liking (or disliking as the case may be) of certain tournaments. These sorts of factors are not directly built into the Insight Tennis Model and often help explain sudden reversals of form.
