Tony, well done and thanks for the great work.
Wayne.
Here are some media comments that highlight the
value of getting good information fast.
Melbourne Herald Sun 14/1/2003
Punters Cash In
Andei Pavel took a back injury into his match against
Renzo Furlan and knowledgeable punters took a bunch
of money off the bookies.
TAB Sportsbet took about $20,000 and closed betting
on the match after Furlan was backed in from $4 to
$2.20. The punters cashed in when Furlan led 4-1 in
the first and Pavel withdrew with injury.
"They must have been fairly well informed he
wasn't 100 per cent," TAB Sportsbet's Gary Davies
said. "So it's 1-0 to the punters."
Here's what our tennis expert Tony M said in his
preview:
Furlan 2.04 vs. Pavel 1.96 (These are just Tony's
ratings)
Never played before. Furlan a qualifier, Pavel with
injuries (he pulled out of the exhibition matches
at Kooyong). Furlan just a challenger tour player
but qualified well. I'm going to have a try the Italian...
Furlan 1 unit if over $2.04.
(Furlan started at much longer odds and OZmium
clients cleaned up.)
Melbourne Herald Sun 17/1/2003
Pain For Big Gain
Punters seem to be digging and finding their marks
at the Open. Andreas Vinciguerra, a strong favourite,
drew about $30,000 in TAB Sportsbet wagers for him
in his match against Julian Knowle yesterday.
He won the contest and a windfall for punters when
Knowle retired hurt in the second set.
What Tony said in his preview about this match:
Vinciguerra 1.23 vs. Knowle 5.33 (Tony's ratings)
Never met before. The clash of no 145 in the world
vs. number 130 in the world (reserve your seats!)
Vinciguerra was impressive in qualifying, as I mentioned
in my review, and then disposed of in form world number
30 Koubek.
Knowle dropped a set to the ordinary Ryan Henry.
Be on the man from Sweden... Vinciguerra 2 units if
over 1.23. I am confident.

the event, join our Smartgambler ATP tennis group

Tony,
Just a short note of thanks from a new member. Your
commentary the last couple of weeks has been great
and your predictions right on the money. Since I started
betting on the tennis I have more than doubled my
original bank, so have been able to withdraw the initial
deposit and am now playing entirely with the bookies
money, a great position to be in!
I had a bet on Sargsian last night. I know it was
not a recommended bet, due to the Aussie involvement,
but I couldn't resist the $3.50 on offer.
Normally I would not have bothered to watch the match
as I don't particularly like "The Scud"
and there was a cricket match on at the same time,
but since I had some money on it I watched the whole
thing and it was a great match - can't believe how
fast that Sargsian can get around the court!
Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Regards, Terry.

Thanks Guy.
This morning was actually the first time I'd visited
the Smartgambler homepage this year so I didn't realise
you were still putting the package together (there's
no rush).
I don't usually bet on soccer matches but I am a
huge fan of the game and follow a number of the European
leagues closely. My experience with the tennis package
has shown me that quality information can produce
profits in these sort of markets so I'm willing to
give your soccer package a try.
I can tell you that oddschecker.co.uk provides a
bookmaker comparison for all EPL matches. (no Italian
coverage though) It's a pretty classy site, so you
might want to start there. They cover a number of
sports and I've also found it effective for tennis
matches.
All the best to everyone at Ozmium for 2003, here's
hoping for another profitable year.
Cheers, Rowan.

Hi Guy.
Sorry to bother you. I am impressed with Tony's tennis
selections. Is he always this good?
As a relative newcomer to his / your service I was
just wondering if these are the sort of results one
can expect over the season, or does it drop a few
percent? If indeed he can and does keep it up I will
be on him big time from now on.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards, Bernie.

It was a great night not only with Tony's selections,
I also used my reload bonus from SportingBet for a
multi in Stockholm on Srichaphan, Massu, Robredo and
Rios which got up.
Interestingly I have had a couple of disputes with
SportingBet, both of which have been resolved. One
was actually yesterday when they didn't actually credit
me the reload bonus but they did fix it up quite quickly,
although they didn't contact me to let me know.
The other one was when they billed me for one transaction
3 times which took about 4 days to get resolved.

Go the Swiss, 6-3 6-4! The super specials are living

Glad it was a Thursday (5% reload bonus at SportingBet).
Now if only I could turn around my soccer bets. I'm
in one of those real "lucky" streaks, a
run of 7 straight losers (but as we know those sorts
of runs can and will happen).

Tony,
I'm thoroughly enjoying your work, very extensive
indeed.
I'm with Centrebet and CanBet at the moment and need
another bookie.
At this this point in time, for example, SportsTab
looks better than
SportOdds. I can't be near a computer all the time
and SportsTab seem to list their bets earlier than
anyone else, eg Massu in Tokyo can be bought now if
I had to, whereas Centrebet and SportOdds aren't listing
the match at present.
This might be a once off phenomenon though. Can you
help out?

Hi Guy.
As you seem to have had problems with the credit
card E-pay system I would appreciate if you could
confirm that you have received $759 from me. Half
of this payment has already been made from the gratis
tips so keep up the good work.

Tony gave to AFL members before the package officially

Subject: RE: Tennis Package
Tony,
I've closely followed the selections over the past
few weeks and feel what you are offering is spot on.
I've managed to make a few bucks one way or another
on tennis over the past few weeks. Tennis is far different
from AFL, which should be obvious, but not to tennis
novices like me.
I'm still feeling my way, but I feel with your markets
and comments I've got a real chance.
I'm only too happy to offer comments and feedback,
but can't offer too much at this stage. I certainly
will as time goes by and as I learn more.
But for what it is worth, here are some comments
so far :
* I've found your comments on matches and players
invaluable in deciding to go for something or back
off. Tennis it seems to me is made up of a lot of
idiosyncracies which are critical to matches and players.
Your amazing knowledge is really helpful here in terms
of comments...
* Prices to me seem to be fine and do give us some
edge. Working out which ones to take and which ones
to avoid is the second part of the equation, which
only comes with experience, and your comments really
help here. If the prices come through even before
bookies have set theirs, even better...
Regards, Kafelnikov.

At the start of the year rumours were flying everywhere
about Sampras's minders having $10K on him to win
the Australian Open only hours before Agassi withdrew
with an injury. Of course he denied them.
The real Yevgeny generally bets on himself in the
big events as he believes the incentive of losing
money will motivate him more. The man just loves money,
you can almost predict his tennis performances based
on the Dow Jones movements.

Tony,
You're a fountain of knowledge on tennis players.
I was wondering why he was having such a bad year
on the circuit and you've explained it. US share market
dive! I'll keep an eagle eye on this as to when to
jump off him in the future.
My only remaining puzzle is how he came to be ranked
number 4 for the US Open having not done anything
all year. This is either a sign of the poor state
of men's tennis with no-one good coming through besides
Hewitt and the oldies getting older.

Tony,
Thanks again for all your knowledgeable info. 'Stick
to your system', Max says, so I took his advice and
took $3.00 about Hrbaty, who whitewashed Yevgeny.
It's the only system I have in tennis!
For the same reasons will be on Carlton this weekend,
together with Port (a great bet), Sydney and the Kangaroos.
I have a feeling we may bet an even better price on
Port closer to the event.
Good luck on the weekend with your bets in both AFL
and tennis.

Tony M,
Thanks heaps for your Wimbledon summary. As someone
commented at the time, it was far better than anything
I've seen elsewhere and added a lot of enjoyment to
the tournament for me. It'd be great if you did the
same for the US Open. My feeling is that Hewitt will
be ridiculously short even though he is obviously
a big chance, so there should be some good roughies
around.
I did have a small bet on Schalken at $81 and got
a great run for my money. Had about 5 bets and finished
slightly up as I backed Malisse a couple of times
head to head at nice odds. By the way, OnThePunt has
a resident tennis analyst who had Malisse as a play
a couple of times and I combined that with your assessment.
First time I've bet on the tennis but would like to
do more if I can come up with a plan I'm confident
of.
Can I ask how you decide to make a bet. Is it purely
on your knowledge and experience? Do you actually
frame a market or relying on spotting a good value
bet? What do you think of other information sources
such as Swinburne ratings (when they're available)
or OnThePunt assessments? Are there any others?
Cheers, Greg.

Subject: HUGE Tennis tip but be quick
Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 21:18
Here is one at huge odds for a two horse race. You
also need to find a bookie that is still betting on
the match and one that pays if there is a retirement.
Coutelot to beat Ferrero.
Ferrero has been in hospital after twisting his ankle
in training. See News on the official French Open
site.
NSW SportsTab is betting on the match at $4.75 Coutelot.
Canbet are betting also but Centrebet and Sportsodds
have stopped betting on the match. Worth a couple
of dollars at that price.

Tony,
You win some, you lose some, but at $3.96 I was getting
a bit excited about 2:30am when he broke serve in
the 4th set to lead 2-1. That's punting, but we sure
got a run for our money, if not much sleep. Thank
you for pointing out the "overs", which
the bet definitely was.
I notice some Poms online had got $8.00 Coutelot,
so they got a great sight for their cash also. Value
like this will see us profit in the long run.
Good Luck this weekend all.
MAC.

Subject: Tennis bet tonight in Munich
I know this is an AFL forum, however I have received
some news from Sweden that tells me Thomas Johansson
is suffering from a cold. He is due to meet a fair
opponent, Rainer Schuettler, who is playing on home
soil in a few hours time. $2.30 is a price available
most places. Although Schuettler's record on clay
is not flash, his last start loss was to a very good
clay courter in Nalbandian.
They have played each other twice with Johansson
winning on hard court
in Dubai (2001) 6-2, 6-1 and Schuettler winning on
hard in Cincinnati (1999) 6-4, 3-4, Johansson retired
hurt.
Worth a rough punt, especially if the Aussie Open
winner is feeling crook. I don't suggest a large bet
though as "mail" can sometimes be off the
mark.
Regards, Tony.

Swinburne gave Johansson a 68.7% chance of winning
with an 11.2% overlay on Johansson. However, Schuettler
completely wiped him out. That was a very good call
Tony! Please feel free to share such gems with us
in the future :-)
Thanks, Don.
(A great 'get' by Tony. The Swinburne tennis computer
run by Jonathan Lowe is not privy to such inside information
but is still worthwhile in our opinion.)
